Trunsit Workers Out Of
Clutches Of Loan Sharks

Chicago (LPA)-In the old days
recalls a veteran streetcar conduc-
tor, "once you got sucked in by one
of those fellers you couldn't get out
of his clutches. Friend of mine bor-
rowed $500 once, paid back 1926.
and found he still owed $780,"
Some men would borrow from
Loan Shark B to repay Loan Shark
A. Those slow to pay soon found a
legal hook on their pay envelopes
i'm the form of garnishments. The
company usually fired a worker
after the third garnishment.
Those were the days the loan
sharks would be swarming around
the depots, ready cash on hand. On
paydays they'd be around to collect
plus heavy interest.
Some of them are still hanging
around, but the pickings are slim.
For thanks to their union, the
streetcar and l. employees have their
own "banks"-the credit unions
81 of them at the depots, all union
. operated.
They've beaten the high cost of
borrowing money. Whereas a small
loan company charges 3 per cent a
month on the whole amount, or 36
per cent a year, the credit union
charges ! per cent a month. Since
the interest is on the unpaid bal
ance only, the annual interest is
around 7A per cent.
In the II years since the credit
unions started, the transit workers
have borrowed and paid back over
$18,000,000 At present the credit
unions have $1,875,000 out in loans
averaging $265 each.
''The credit unions have double
barrelled job" says Joseph j.
Kehoe, president of Division 241 OF
the Amalgamated Assn. of Stree,
Electric Railway & Motor Coach
Employes-AFL. "They don't only
lend money. They also act as a saw
ings bank"
In fact, it's because of the saw
ings deposited in the credit union
that it has the cash to make loans
Right now the total savings on
hand are well over $3,000,0C0 and
growing all the time. This money
collects an average of 3%d interest
each year for the depositors.
The men are more than deposit
tors. With each So deposited, they
get a "share" in the credit union
and thus become shareholders. At
the credit unions annual meeting
they elect board of directors and
in other ways have a voice in how
the credit union is run.
Is this control only theoretical I?
No, says Ted Heffernan, treasurer
of the Kedzie Depot Credit Union.
At its last annual meeting, about
400 shareholder-members were pre-
sent. That's two-fifths of its mem

OIL PRICE HIKES MAY BE
PROBED BY SOUTH CAROLINA

Columbia, S. c. (LPA)-Angered
by recent hikes in gasoline prices,
more than Is members of the State
Senate signed a joint resolution
calling for an investigation and
prosecution of oil companies in the
state for possible violation of anti
trust laws and other laws. The
resolution also called for study of
the possibility of state regulation,
calling recent price hikes "perni-
cious, arbitrary and without justi-
fication."

Harrison Stresses
Arguments For
Rail Union Shop

Washington LPA) Georg e
Harrison, president of the Railway
Clerks-AFL, had to tell subcom-
mittee of the House Committee on
Interstate Commerce all over again
May IL why rail labor favors over
whelmingly the Crosser bill auth
,rizing the union shop and check
off on the Iron Horse. Harrison al
ready had spent two days present
ng labor's case in painstaking de-
all and answering questions prob
'ng deeply into the problem, but
;Ome of the Congressman insisted
IN hearing it one more time.
Under additional questioning,
Harrison repeatedly refuted what
seemed to be a Republican Dixie
rat suspicion that the Crosser bill
vas plot by union officers to put
something over on the membership
If the rail unions. He pointed out
hat when the Railway Labor Act
was amended in 1884, the union
shop and checkoff were barred. He
said rail labor wanted the checkoff
)utlawed 16 years ago only for
company unions, but that Congress
made the prohibition applicable to
Iii unions. He added that company
Inionism was no longer problem.
Harrison opposed an amendment
suggested by George Weaver of the
United Transport Service EN-
1loyes-CIO, bargaining agent for
..edcaps, Pullman laundry workers
and dining car walters. Weaver
wanted the bill to prohibit those
Unions which refuse to admit MEM
5erse because of race, color, creed,
)r rational origin from bargaining
sor the union shop.
Harrison stressed his complete
sympathy with Weaver's aim, but
said he didn't think the amendment
would accomplish it. He indicated
hat the Weaver proposal could be
lullified by blackballing. Let's have
an FEPC for everybody, the Clerks
eader said in effect, not just for
rail labor. Citing the history of his
own union which now admits
Negroes to full membership, he de-
Jared that in the end racial dis
Elimination must be defeated by
education. y.
When Rep. Dwight Rogers Cd,
Fla.) tried to suggest there was
something undemocratic about the
tequest for the legalization of the
lnion shop and checkoff on rails,
Harrison retracted old ground. He
explained that under the Railway
Labor Act, members of a craft or
lass select their bargaining agent
oy majority vote. Then he remind
I'd the Congressman that a Sup
rene Court decision made it man
iatory for the bargaining agent TO
bargain for non-members as well
rs members. Why then, agrued the
AFL leader, shouldn't non-mem-
)ers be made to enter the union and
support the agent which is res
oonsible for their wages and con-
itions?
Harrison repeatedly stressed that
Under the union-shop bill now be-
fore Congress, nobody would lose
his job under a union-shop contract
f he was prevented from joining
The union, or if he was expelled for
any reason but not-payment of
lues. In this connection, Harrison
las contended that the bill as now
worded actually would reduce the
evil results of racial discrimination
oy some rail unions in the operat
.ng crafts, even though it would
1ot eliminate discrimination itself.

BY ALyAINE HAMILTON

Washington (LPA) = The best
news for supporters of the Fair
Deal economic program for long
time was announcement from the
White House on May 10 that Leon
Keyserling has been named chair
man of the Presidents Council OF
Economic Advisers. Along with
this came word that Roy Blough,
professor of economics and poll
tical science at the University of
Chicago, has been nominated as
the third member Of the council.
Blough has wholeheartedly sup
ported the whole idea of the En-
ployment Act of 1947 and his con-
firmation by the Senate will mean
that for the first time President
Truman will have a strong, force
full and aggressive team of men to
push his economic program.
This ends the uncertainty which
has cloaked the Council ever since
Chairman George Nourse's resig-
nation was accepted blythe Pres
ident last December. Nourse had
resisted attempts of the other two
members-Keyserling and John D.
Clark-to carry President Tru-
mans economic proposals to Con-
gress, to testify before Congress-
ional committees, and to act as
something more than an ivory tow
er outfit making predictions for the
Presidents ear alone.
Since Truman eased him out,
Nourse has bitterly attacked the
Council and the President, especial
ly in an article in Golfers mag
azine in which he charged that the
other two members were playing
politics" because they appeared be-
fore Congressional committees to
support the programs they had
helped frame. He accused Keyser-
ling and Clark of mixing politics
with economics.
First evidence Of the new life in
jected into the Council will be the
midyear economic report the group
will deliver to President Truman
and his report to the Congress.
This report, required by the En-
ployment Act, is expected to reach
the House and Senate before the
end of June. A major issue which
the Council will have to tackle in
that report will be how the Ameri-
can economy can be spurred into
growing as envisioned in Truman's
year-end report to Congress. Then,
he proposed that the nation set it's
sights on an expansion of produc-
tion to a point in 1864 where the
average family income, measured
in "1949 dollars, would be $1,000
above its present level.
One dangerous spot in the econ
omy, already shown in the Coun-
cil's May Economic Indicators,
is that 51a percent of the labor
force was unemployed in April,
compared with 31a percent in 1947,
3.3 percent in 1948, and 5.3 percent
in 1949.
Also during April production of
non-durable goods = mainly pro-
ducts like clothing and textiles
dropped off, although production
of durable goods rose
Probably the first impact of the
used for emergency strike assist
ance in any other situation in the
future.

II lincoln, Famed For Gentleness, Could Be 1ough
Bounty Jumpers
Plea For Mercy
Was Turned Down

Lincoln lore contains many
stories of the Great Emancipator' S
leniency toward military offend
ers. Scarcely ever did he decline
to remit sentences-at least to
some extent. However, when faced
with situation that threatened
the stability of the Union Army
and thus, victory itself, Lincoln
could be ruthless-and was.
This is proved by a Lincoln pro-
nouncement recently came to light
and now in the noted Alden S.
Condict collection i'm New York.
Lincoln had to combat sinister
home-front evil. II was the sub
stitution racket" spawned by the
loose draft law of that day. This
measure enabled any man drafted
for service to buy. for $500, a
substitute to take his place.
Like Prohibition years later,
this was duck soup for the hood
lums and gangsters. A substitution
