|'Ouickie' Rent
Control Bill
Urged On Truman

Washington (LPA)-To forestall
extended wrangling, advisers to
President Truman have urged him
to press for an extension of rent
control of two to three months
when Congress reconvenes. Their
advice is to delay a request for
overhauling the law until the 82nd
Congress meets in January.
Other suggestions are that the
present law be revised to let Hous-
ing Expediter Tighe Woods restore
controls in decontrolled areas
Under the present law decontrol
by local action is final. Under pre-
sent law, all federal controls end
Dec. 81 unless a community, by af-
firmative action, votes to extend
controls another six months.
Woods has called a conference
here for Oct. 80 to discuss "present
and future rent control policies"
Meanwhile in st. Louis the Board
of Aldermen voted rs to / to ex-
tend rent control. Sole dissenter
was Republican.
In Denver. City Council set Nov.

enbach, president of the Central
Labor Union, resigned in disgust
from the Area Rent Advisory
Board after the landlords got a
blanket l5 percent increase on the
recommendation" Of the board.
Breidenbach said no meeting was
held, that the man recorded as sec
onding the motion also said there
was no meeting. Inquiry disclosed
that Oscar b. Renolin, board chair
man and also vice-president of
the Dayton Power & Light Co., had
drawn up a resolution for the in
crease and sent it around to the
members offices. Breidenbach had
returned his unsigned. Renolin then
published the minutes" of the

New NLRB Election Rules
Foreman No Back Seat Driver

Mansfield, o. UPA) Because of
back-seat driving by a foreman
who belonged to car-riding pool
there will be another NLRB repre-
sentation election at Farm Tools,
Inc. here.
The United Auto Workers lost
an election here last February, but
contended to the NLRB that it was
because a foreman spent his time
riding back and forth from work
as a member of car pool berating
the union.
The Board upheld the contention,
ordered a new election and also in
structed another foreman to stop
telling workers the plant would
close if the union won.

Meanwhile, the idea of an excess
profits tax was not sitting well
with some people, notably the Ma

and possessed of inevitable infla-
tionary consequences and admins
trative difficulties" Lutz recon-
mended heavier taxes for every

corporations based on flat per-

In Harvester Strike

Chicago LPA) - International
Harvester Co. has announced that
if the strike of United Auto Work
ers is not ended by the first week
in November, it will close down
two more plants. This would leave
$4,000 non-strikers idle.

ers, UAW Interpreted the situation
as one which might help force a
settlement. The company is being
pressed by parts shortages.
About $4,000 UAW members are
on strike. The problems remaining

issues" They include piece rate
pay, union shop and seniority. I'M

Sheet MefuI Convention Calls
For AH-Ouf Political Activity

Chicago (LPA)-The 500 dele
gates to the 28th convention of the
Sheet Metal Workers Information
al Assn.-AFL here Oct. 1926 gave
their unqualified support to the
Fair Deal legislative program anC
to the incorporating railroad work
ers' fight for a 25c-an-hour wage
increase.
They cheered repeated attacks
on the Taft-Hartley law and were
told the future of labor is at stake
in the November elections. They
adopted resolutions calling for all.
out political activity by labor, de-
velopment of a program to stab
ilize railroad employment, national
health insurance and an adequate
housing program.
Robert Byron, president, report
ed that Fl welfare plans now cover
10000 workers and % more locals
are negotiating plans. He said the
union gained As locals and 13,O0C
members during the past four
years and has 529 locals and Co.
O22 members-an all-time peak.
William Green, AFL president
assailed building curbs. He told
the convention that credit restric-
tions made it almost impossible fol
lower or middle income families to
buy homes. He also said that unions
would not be able to help relocate
men during the manpoWer short
age because of the Taft Hartley
act. He said recruiting by unions
such as was done so successfully in
World War II, would be giving
undue preference to the hiring by
union men"-a practice outlawed
by TIL.
Other speakers included Robert
c.. Goodwin, head of the Labor De-
partment's Bureau of Employment
Security. Making his first speech
since his appointment as chief of
Defense Manpower, Goodwin was
applauded when he said that ''no
mandatory manpower controls are
necessary at this time"
Speaking on the problems of
manpower for defense work, Carl
r. Schedler, labor relations advisor
to the Navy, said that ''free labor
is the handspring of our Demo-
cracy" and that there can be no
military force without a labor force
to maintain it. He also predicted
that men with essential skills will
be screened so that they will not
see military service.
Joseph d. keenan,, director of
Labor's League for Political Edu-
cation, warned delegates to get cut
the vote next month to avert the
return of reaction. He said the
"want and hunger and chaos" of
the '30's was the aftermath of "un-
restricted free enterprise"

Truman May Recall Congress Early;
Stocks Nosedive As Profits Tax Hinted


Truman told his Oct. 26 press
conference he may call Congress
back into session well before Nov.
81, the schedule date, to give a
little needed attention to an excess
profits tax. In New York the stock
market promptly did nose-dive.
In fact, the slump had already
started by the time the President
met newsmen at 10:30 a. m. be-
cause morning papers carried rum
ors that the President might try to
force the excess profits issue. By
the time the President confirmed
the rumors, the Stock Exchange
ticker was several minutes behind
the selling orders.
Steel shares led the decline.
Youngstown Sheet & Tube lost
$3.50 a share. Bethlehem fell S1.63.
Also down were auto, farm imple-
ments, and television shares, some
of them by as much as 81. Contem-
plation of an excess profits tax
was too much to bear. Stock trad
ers decided to grab their profits
Immediately.
BY IL a. m. the Dow-Jones in
dustrial average was down to
$228.38 or $3.11 below the day-be-
fore level. Rails were down $1.10.
Utilities slipped as cents. But at
11:14, the ticker caught up with
sales and stock prices began to
rally. Maybe some Of the traders,
having taken their profits, were
buying back in. Whatever it was,
that's Wall Street for you.
Meanwhile, what President Tru-
man said was this: If Congress
waits until Nov. 81 to reconvene, it
won't have much time to act on
urgent legislation this year. Ac-
cordingly, he and VicePresident
Barkley had been discussing the
possibility of calling Congress back
earlier. He added that he wouldn't
make any decision until he'd con-
ferred with Congressional leaders.
The President refused to say
whether he'd issue the call before
or after Election Day, but indicat-
ed he'd act as soon as he'd made up
his mind.
Asked by a reporter whether
Congress could pass a new rent
control law in the short year-end
session, the President said rent
control was only one Of several
urgent legislative matters. He de-
clared that excess profits legisla-
tion and statehood for Alaska and
Hawaii were just as important,
implying he'd like action on all the
issues mentioned.
Aside from legislative urgency,
there were other aspects of the
Presidents apparent intention to
call Congress back to Washington,
perhaps by Nov. 13, week after
Election Day. Certainly such ac-I
tion would be a boost for the Dem
ocrats at the polls, since the issues
the President mentioned are live
ones. Rent control and excess pro-
fits are burning matters to labor
and to consumers generally.
Moreover. some recalled thatl
the President helped the party twoI
years ago when he called Congress
into session after the Democratic
convention-although many Demo
crats didn't realize it at the time.
At his press conference, the Pres
ident also said he might make one
campaign speech, probably from
