H. Denham recommended that his
office and the board look the other
way so far as the building trades
are concerned in enforcing parts Of
the Taft-Hartley act.
Senator Robert A. Taft outlined
a program for the Republican
party that called for a welfare
state, but one run by the states
rather than the federal govern
ment. AS the year ended it was not
yet decided who would run against
Taft in Ohio.
The first of a series of CIO hear
ings on unions accused of follow
ing the Communist party line was
held in Washington. Expulsion of
all was predicted. The FBI finally
agreed to investigate attack on
United Auto Workers-CIO and its
leaders after 80 sticks of dynamite
were found in the JAW headquar-
ters in Detroit with the fuse snuff
ed out by rain just an eighth of an
inch from detonation. Just a few
days before, JAW President Wal
ter Reuther had received the Glen
denim Award of the Workers De-
fense League for his service as g
progressive and socially visioned"
head of the union.
The American Medical Associa-
tion, finding its S25 voluntary"
assessment on all members to fight
the Administration health insur-
ance program was not enough,
voted for the first time in its his
tory to slap S25 annual dues on all
of its members. Doctors voted to
oppose disability insurance and
even federal aid to medical schools
and for school health services.

Labor in 1949 set the stage for
] )ldramatic strides forward in 1850.
while the gains from the 194S cleo
tion successes were numbered,
unions laid solid groundwork for
greater achievements in the year
TO come.
Political action machines were
set up on a major scale. Wage
gains were not spectacular but
unions, especially in the CIO sign
ed, after long bitter strikes, his
toric contracts containing pension
plans which were destined to re-
vamp the nations outmoded social
security laws.
On the international front, labor
organizations from 40 nations
founded the International Confed-
Grafton of Free Trade Unions, to
replace the ill-fated Soviet-domin-
ated World Federation of Trade
Unions.
AFL and CIO leaders worked
closely together in forming the
new group-a move that led lead
ers of both organizations to pre-
dict unity of American labor in
the near future. Other develop
ments that foreshadowed such
unity included close cooperation on
the political front and spectacular
moves to oust all Communications
mated unions from its ranks.
January: AS the new Congress
convened labor's' foremost goal was
repeal of the Taft-Hartley law and
re-enactment of the Wagner Act,
y labor's Magma Charta.
President Truman's message to
Congress was hailed by William
Green and Philip Murray, and at
tackled by Republicans and Dixie
Gratis as "socialistic" Center OF
much Of the controversy was a
warning to the steel and electric
power industries that they had bet
ter expand or face government in
tervention. Other points in the
program: repeal of Taft-Hartley
and reinstatement of Wagner Act,
increase of the minimum wage to
75c an hour and higher on an in
dustry basis, stronger controls over
installment buying and bank cred
its, stronger rent controls, higher
social security benefits, national
health insurance, federal aid to the
states for education, civil rights
program, stronger antitrust laws,
housing legislation, a long~range
farm program, development of ma
tural resources, and a stronger
Labor Department. In a new ap-
proach to budgeting Truman add
ed up what the fair deal would cost
and asked for taxes to fill the need.
Unions mobilized to help fight
for passage of the program. AFL
established a permanent legislative
council to coordinate the work of
all AFL unions on Capitol Hill.
There was a flood of layoffs

Washington (LPA) = Develop
ment of natural resources on a
regional basis is a sure way of
creating more jobs, the 1949 an
nual report of the Tennessee Val
ley Authority showed. Manufactur-
ing plants in the Valley employed
15S,000 more workers than they
did in 1888, the IVA report re-
vealed, an increase of lat per cent
as compared with a 119 per cent

RELIEF ROLLS UP IN NEW
YORK FOR 18th MONTH

New York (LPA)-Relief cases
in November numbered 323,O73, an
increase for the 18th straight
month, 62,067 above November
194S, and there are no signs upon
which to anticipate a hope for
future Improvement" Vel fare
Commissioner Raymond M. Hilliard
reported. He announced he will
seek a greater budget for next
year. Recently relief allowances
were cut 5 per cent Chased on an
even greater decline in living
costs" The cut has brought
storm of protest from labor and
liberal groups which argue that the
allowances, even before the cuts,
were too low.

throughout industry and consider
able worry about depression, al
though profits were higher than
ever. The Presidents Council of
Economic Advisers recommended a
conference to set up wage and
price standards for a healthy econ
omy. A full employment bill of
1949 was introduced in Congress,
and it was proposed that unem-
ployment benefits be broadened.
Retail prices went down slightly
but were still 29R higher than
when OPA was abandoned.
United Auto Workers, first maj
or union to formulate it's 1949 bar
gaining program, put pensions at
the top. AFL transport workers in
New Jersey won 1512 cent hour
ly wage boost and Amalgamated
Meatcutters & Butcher Workmen-
AFL won a 10 per cent wage in
crease in eastern chain stores.
These local wage gains were typi-
cal of hundreds that followed
throughout 1949.
Appointment of Dean Acheson
as Secretary of State was endor-
sed by both AFL and CIO. A new
international federation of demo-
cratic trade unions was proposed
by AFL, CIO and British union
leaders.
February: CIO and AFL wit
nesses appeared before the Senate
Labor Committee to argue for re-
peal of Taft-Hartley. AFL shatter-
ed 67-year precedent by announ-
cling Labor's League for Political
Education would start printing a
weekly newspaper.
The Senate received bill for
public low-rent homes, first in a
series of housing bills. A strong
rent control bill was given vigor-
Gus union backing. President Rich
ard j. Gray of the AFL Building
Trades Dept told a Senate COM
mittee that the housing shortage
called for 100000 new homes a
year (925,000 units were finished
in 1948). UAW President Walter
P. Reuther submitted to President
Truman plan to convert surplus
aircraft production capacity to the
building of prefabricated houses.
There was still talk about a de-
preston. Leon Keyserling, vice
chairman of the Presidents Econ
omic Council, urged Congress to
adopt an economic program, warn
| ing the next depression could cost
US about $500 billion. Standby con-
trolls over prices and scarce COM
modities was urged by CLOS James
B. Carey and AFL's Lewis Hines
before Congress. The Chamber of
Commerce opposed the measure.
Textile workers in New England
and Middle Atlantic states were
denied wage raise by an arbitra-
tor who based his decision on a dim
prophecy of the economic future.
The NLRB ruled peaceful pick

baby carriage. Five hundred sew

No order battles the Whitney
wizards of wheels. They manufac-

elevated handle bars for circus
giants and down-to-ea carriages

built a baby carriage with a
battery-powered bottle-warm-

they constructed a carriage with a
sound-amplifying device, to broad
cast the baby's cries when it woke
up.
One Thing Was Wrong

hopes of selling President Holman
on the latest gimmick in tiny-tot

suitcase hardly big enough to con-

Warns Property
.Owners To Check
Prices, Claims

Property owners financing es-
sential home repairs and property
investments through FHA-Insured
Title ] Loans were warned today
by FILA District Director, Karl
w. Kumler, to make a careful
check of the prices charged and
the claim made by statesmen be
fore signing contract.
Numerous instances have been
reported recently in which loans
insured under Title I for essential
repairs and Improvements have
been seriously out of proportion
to the value of the work done,
Mr.. Kumler said. In other cases
reported, the abuses involve such
high-pressure selling methods as
unfounded claims about the vir-
tues of the product, as we'll as in
ferences that because the FHA
insured the loan, the Federal Gov
ernment guaranteed the materials
and workmanship. This is contrary
to the circumstances wherein FLA
specifically points out that neither
the lending institution, nor the
FILA guarantee the material or
workmanship, or inspect the work
performed This is the sole respon-
sibility of the home owner.
Mr.. Kumler further warns that
the use of the Model Home" ap-
proach is generally an indication
of unethical practices of sales
men. The Model Home" is used
where a home owner is sold a
siding, roofing or insulation job
with the promise that the house
will be used as a model. On every
subsequent sale in the neighbor-
hood, according to the salesman,
the owner will be paid commits
sionS. In most cases, the home
owner is led to believe that if just
few of the neighbors buy the
product, he will get his for moth
ing. There is practically no record
of the owner of the Model Home
ever having given an abundance
of commissions.
Mr.. Kumler cautioned property
owners to make thorough in
vestigation of salesmen's claims
and prices charged and to secure
