Tying Up The Unions

You hear people say ''f corporations aren't allowed to
contribute money for political work neither should unions
That's baoney. recent publication National Labor
Policy, by DR.. Emily Clark Brown, tells why. Dr. Brown,
former analyst of the National Labor Relations Board and
public panel member of the War Labor Board writes
"A corporation, in those where it is conrOl
ed by the stockholders subject to control the basis Of
share ownership not by the equal votes of individual stock
holders. It's is limited to the financial success of the
enterprise the broad interests of its stockholders in
dividuals.
"A union on the contrary is membership association,
subject to control by majority vote of the individual
bers and concerned broadly with their economic welfare
individuals
"The contrast is between business organized by dollar
votes of the stockholders against voluntary association
subject to control by vote of the individual MEMBERS.
The author points out that people controlling corpora
tions have money individuals which they poll
tca work But trade unonisS don't have such and
must work through their organizations, the unions
The union should not be compared with the corporation
she states 1t should be compared with employer asSoca
tions and other voluntary groups
If the local chamber of commerce sweeten the kitty

Corporate Profits

The Presidents Council of Economic Advisers (CEA)
it's September report says corporation profits Tor the
second quarter 1850 at the rate of S21 billion year,
after taxes.
This is SIC billion year more than corporations made
in 1889 1t is 81 million than they made IN boomme
1913 the most profitable in history for corporations
The earnings for the second quarter of this year were at
of So billion above the earnings for the first
quarter.
Remember that the Korean didn't start until June
"a or until the second quarter practically finished SO
you that the corporations didn't make their money
from the during that period Their thrdquarter pro-
fits probably will be even higher.
At the same time, said the CEA, personal savings
dropped $43 billion That s the cost of living climbed at
faster rate than aehome pay SO you had less to set aside
for a rainy day.
And still the Tafs Milins Byrds, Georges and Cape
hars that profits tax is unfair to the rich
and that individuals Chats yo) should have their taxes
increased to pay for the Korean at the rate corp
oration taxes hiked.

Why Good Business?

Why is it good business to hire physically handicapped
men and women?
Because surveys conducted by the u S. Department OIL
Labor and the Veterans Administration the Civil Service
Commission the IT, S. Chamber OF Commerce the Natloi
Association of Manufacturers and Accident Prevention
Department of Association of Casualty and Surety Com
panies have produced overwhelming evidence that Whe
nropey placed the handicapped workers performance Is
as good as or better than that of the unmpaed worker
Because job performance records of handicapped WORK
ers have been outstanding in productveness adaptaphy
carefuness regularity reliability and versatility.
Because employment OF the physically handicapped
ghtens the load the taxpayer ghens the load on puS
ness and industry ghtens the load on the community
Other excellent for hiring the handicapped
could be cited enough have been given in the foregoing
TO prove concusvey that it's good business to add them
to the national work force without unnecessary delay

Equality Before The Law

We supposed to be devoted to the principle Of strict
equality before the law In other words there is the
law for rich and poor for high and low But not for employ
and employees, if the employees belong to Labor Union
1t is not illegal in fact it is practice for business
firms to sign exclusive agreements They agree to
sell only product to give their exclusive patronage
That's legal BHt if a Labor Union asks for
the kind of contract that's very very Illegal that's
the CLOSED shop There's special statute the Taft Hartley
Act to prevent Unions from doing what business houses do
every day.

On the Other Hand
Strange That an Excess Profits
Tax Should Encounter Resistance

OF 1948 when postwar prosperity
was near it's peak.
1.-The steel companies are lead
ing the field. Mighty u. S. Steel
boosted profits by SO per cent,
while sales climbed 16 per cent.
Republic sold 19 per cent more in
this quarter than last year, but
profits were up lot per cent"
All This Before War Orders.
All this before the war orders
had really begun to roll in.
For the same six months Cen
eral Tire & Rubber showed an in
crease of 251 per cent over the
same months of 1949. General
Electric had IS per cent increase;
Johns Manville. rs per cent; Mon
santo Chemical, ga per cent.
Senator oMahoneyy, leading
what looked for a time like a lone
battle for an excess profits tax,
has offered some Illuminating
general figures.
"The national income" he says,
has increased 1852 per cent since
1910. salaries and wages have in
creased 164 per cent, corporate
profits (before taxes) for the
period 1947-49 have increased 22O
per cent and, after taxes, 1898
per cent. 1t is obvious therefore
that corporate profits can easily
bear a much larger proportion of
the cost of the Korean war than is
in the committee bill. /"
To make his proposed amend
ment more palatable to conserya-
tive colleagues, he would earmark
the revenue from the excess profits
tax solely for the payment of war
costs and application to the ma
tional debt.
President Truman, desirous Of
getting war revenue bill enacted
as quickly as possible. has been
disposed to accept temporary de-
ferment of excess profits taxes IF
he cares to test national sentiment
he is likely to find that this time
he is out of step.

This Changing World
French Opposition to Using Germans
For Western Defense Force Is Abatins

Wet attack. In fact, they maintain
that properly equipped German
force of some 100000 men could
stop the Russians in their tracks.
But they do not want any strings
attached to that force.
They welcome, of course, Coop
Grafton with the general stats of
the other Western nations, but be-
lieve that eventually the equip
nent should be manufactured in
the industrial areas of the Reich.
This view is not shared in the
least by the Bonn government or
by prominent political men. These
men, who are thought to reflect
the views of Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer, believe in organization
of Western military establish
ment. They believe in the build
ing of a solid European structure
in which all the free nations shall
participate and share equally the
responsibilities of defense.
The European army need not be
a hodge-podge in which division
would be composed of French,
Germans, Belgians, Portuguese
and others. Each unit could be
formed, for convenience sake, on
q national basis. But they would
be employed under a supreme
command composed of top-rank-
ing officers of all the member ma
tionS.
Favored by Generals.
Since it is evident that in the
event of a Russian onslaught
Western Germany will be in the
path of the aggressor, it is natural
that the main body of the Euro
pean army should fight in that
area. And it is admitted by all
professional soldiers that a Ger
man force of even 100000 men
would greatly improve the chances
of delaying the enemy's advance
for a long time, long enough to
permit American ground and air
forces to reach the scene of bat
tie.
Participation by Western Ger
man forces is advocated particu-
larly by the commanding officers
of all the armies of occupation.
They feel the danger from the
East much more acutely than do
men in the Western capitals. They
know that If the Russians use only
the Eastern German army, esti-
mated at between $4,000 and 100,-
900 well-trained and equipped
Germans, the chances of resisting
with present Allied availabilities
are extremely small.
Conscription in Western Ger
many will not be necessary. While
the population is far from en-
thusiastic over the idea of going
to battle again, there is sufficient
number of able bodied and trained
soldiers from World War II who
have a score to settle with the
Russians.
The top military in America
and Europe consider German
military cooperation a must in
the European defense scheme. It
is up to the diplomats and politi-
cal leaders now to agree and speed
UP application of the maitary's
recommendations, before it is too
late to add new strength to the
depleted Western European de-
tense forces. ~t

Harvester Company
.Wifhdraws Contract
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO. Aug. 26.-A contract
agreement by which International
Harvester Co. proposed a 7-cent
an hour wage increase for $1,000
workers in IL plants went over
board yesterday.
The company said it withdrew
from the agreement with the in
dependent Farm Equipment
United Electrical Workers because
of an outbreak of strikes since
the terms were set.
But Gerald Fielde, director of
the unions Harvester council. said
the company was "welshing in an
attempt to reinstate a wage
freeze
Further negotiations were sched-
uled today and tomorrow between
Harvester and another union, the
CIO United Auto Workers. in ar
attempt to settle the strike ir
eight other Harvester plants. Nc
progress was reported yesterday.
The agreement with the union
which had not been ratified by
union membership, also provided
FOR semi-annual wage reopening
beginning December /, 1850.
Evening star., 1950-08-26

the discussions to date of the bill
brought out by the Senate FL
nance Committee, the lowest esti-
mate of the amount obtainable
by an excess profits tax is three
billion dollars. This would be in
addition to the five billion of new
revenue which the committees
bill is intended to produce.
The cry of take the profit out
of war" has a familiar ring for
the present generation, now pay
ing for two World Wars. Every
body believes it should be done,
but nobody has found the means
to do it. The best it has been
possible to do is to reclaim for
the people a part of the profits
held to be excessive. Now that
the country faces a certain in
creased deficit as the result of
the present war effort-an effort
that must be vastly increased if
the fighting is not confined to
Korea-the least sacrifice that
anybody could be asked to make
would seem to be that of excess
profits.
Dollars VS.. DoughboyS.
It is too soon to take the sub
jecJ up, in the opinion of Sem
ator George, chairman of the
committee. But the sacrifice of
American lives is already under
way. The dollar surely should
not be considered more sacred
than the doughboy.
Profits have been extraordi-
nary thus far this year. Many
companies in the first six months
realized the largest earnings for
such period in their history.
AS stated in a recent issue of
Business Week:
cts obvious from early bird re-
ports that Second-quarter earnings
will be far ahead of the same peri
cd last year. In fact, six-month
earnings for 1850 should come
close to matching the first half

New Negotiation in
Canadian Rail Strike
BY the Assoeiated Press

OTTAWA, Aug. 26.-Canada' S
crippling railway strike was in
its fifth day today. with widening
repercussions and no indications
Of an early settlement.
Renewed negotiations, sparked
by the unprecedented personal in
tervention of Prime Minister Louis
st. Laurent. were to be resumed
here this morning.
Coming out of last nights in
itial two hour and 20 minute
conference, railway management
and union leaders said there had
been useful discussions" But
one participating union official
said later that very little prog
reSs" was made.
He cautioned against undue
optimism" for an early agreement
on getting Canadian trains rolling.
He said there was little yielding
by either side from the point where
they stood when wage and hour
talks collapsed last Tuesday and
$4,000 incorporating railroad
workers struck. The unions are
demanding higher pay and a re-
duction of the work week from
48 to 40 hours.
100000 Workers Idle.
Since Tuesday, the walkout has
made idle about 100000 workers
throughout Canada, with a pros
pect of many more layoffs.
In addition to on-strikine
trainmen, truckers, coal miners
smelter and construction workers
and loggerS have been thrown out
OF work. Power and fresh food
shortages possibly lay ahead
Wheat and fruit farmers fretted
over marketing losses. Canada IS
important pulp and paper indus
try faced shutdowns next week.
American newspapers began con-
serving newsprint against a
dwindling supply.
Further complicating Canada's
labor situation was a wage strike
by ESQ members of the AFL Sea-
farers' International Union on
seven union steamship line YES
sells. Their walkout left the Brit
1sh Columbia coast with no ship
ping and cut the last sea supply
route for essential foodstuffs to
some $4,000 persons in up-coast
settlements. An emergency air.
lift was being planned.
Special Food Train Loaded.
To meet food shortages in iso-
lated Ontario communities, a spe-
cial 10-car supply train was loaded
at Port Arthur under the super
vision of striking railway men.
No deadline was set by the
Prime Minister in sending the
battling rail and union chiefs back
to the conference table. It is
understood. however, that. he en-
phasized the desirability of ar
agreement before next Tuesdays
emergency parliamentary session
A union official said the Canadian
Prime Minister indicated that ar
agreement before then would COO
on the need for legislation to deal
with similar strikes.
