of Labor Tobin announced June IA.
The new rate will supersede the
rate of so cents, found to be the

The unions put the prevailing min

The employers wanted between 80
and 95 cents. A federal survey in
1948 showed, however, that less
than half of one per cent of the
615,000 workers in the industry
got less than 95 cents, and that
501a per cent got $1.40 or more.
Tobin's order provides for an APP

No Coffee Shortage: Speculation

Morse Tells DonneT Whats Wrong
With Compulsory Arbitration

Washington (LPA) - Mediation
and arbitration are poles apart,
and nobody can spell out the diff
ference with more authority than
Sen. Wayne Morse (R, Ore.).
At hearing of the Senate Labor
Committee of which he is men,
Der, Morse gave labor-baiting Sen.
Forrest Donnell Or, Mo- a high
level lecture on mediation and
arbitration, although he ostensibly
was addressing his remarks to
David B. Robertson, president of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen & Enginemen. Robertson
was appearing in opposition to
Donnell's bill outlawing ra /
strikes.
Morse, who once was a profess
or of augmentation as well as
Dean of the University of Oregon
Law School, gave most of his lee
ture in the form of a series of
questions directed at Robertson.
In the course of the questions, he
made no secret of his own distaste
for DonnelPs bill, which makes
arbitration compulsory in all rail
disputes.
Trouble with arbitration is that
what a union can thus win is
strictly limited. Morse suggested
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1950-06-22

and Robertson agreed. Morse de-
veloped his thesis as follows:
An arbiter hears the evidence
and rules in accordance with it. If
a union demands a 40-cent raise
but the company can afford no
more than % cents, the latter fig
ure is all the arbitrator can allow
provided the resulting wage is
in line with health and decency.
Under mediation, the mediator gets
the parties together and they can
agree on the whole 40 cents if they
want to. It's up to the company to
find out how to afford it, Morse
indicated. In the case of the rail-
roads, application for higher rates
can always be made to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, he
and Robertson agreed.
Morse also developed the point
that on the rails, the ratemaking
authority would continue to be
divorced from the wage-setting
authority which would be lodged
in the arbitration panel. Thus arbi-
traitors would always be limited by
current rail rates or existing bus
mess methods. Donnell, who sits
next to Taft in labor's doghouse,
seemed appreciative but unim-
pressed by Morse's demonstration.

Washington (LPA)-So you're
still passing up that fourth cup OF
coffee. Stuff still costs too much 9
pound, the little woman tells you.
1t certainly does, says a five
man subcommittee of the Senate
Agriculture Committee which held
extensive hearings on the price OF
coffee last winter and spring, and
issued it's report the other day. The
Senators wanted to know why
American housewives last year
suddenly had to hand over IS cents
or more for a pound of coffee cost
ling less than 60 cents year earl
ier, and they found out plenty.
Of course, the coffee men blam-
ed the housewife herself. She read
these stories in the paper, they
said, stories about bad weather in
Brazil and places like that which
would cut the coffee supply. So she
started boarding coffee and forced
the price up. Simple. Easy enough
to understand. However, the Sen
ate subcommittee, headed by Sen.

this explanation with grain of
salt.
In the first place, there was no
coffee shortage and hasn't been for
so years. Gillette and his collea-

Truman vetoes
Basing Point Bill,
Saves Billions

Washington (LPA) - The aver
age American wage Garner, fol
the second time this year, owes
President Truman a vote of thanks
for a veto of a bill which, while
apparently harmless, actually woulC
cost consumers billions of dollars
in higher prices. The basing point
price bill, originated with US Steel
and before Congress for 26 months
was finally vetoed by the Pres
ident June 16.
The whole working and legisla-
tive history of the bill shows that
members of Congress were exceed
ingly confused over the basing
point price issue, Truman observed
in his veto message. Before acting,
he had studied conflicting recon-
mendations from his Cabinet and
other advisors, as we'll as the ap-
peals from organized labor, farm
ers and small business organiza-
tions.
The bill would have risked long
court arguments over the anti
trust laws, Truman observed, and
"there would be no justification
for taking such risks unless the
existing legal situation were so
confused as to appreciably hamper
business operations and there were
no alternative methods for resolv-
ing these difficulties. At the pre-
sent time, this is clearly not the
case"
Sen. Paul Douglas Cd, Ill.,, one
of the leaders of the fight against
the bill in the Senate, hailed the
veto. "The President has once more
jumped into the breach to protect
the people of the country from
Monopoly" Douglas said. The HI
inois Senator had previously fought
the natural gas bill, another in
tricate measure under which the
oil and gas producers could have
mulcted the users of gas for home
heating and cooking, and indus
trial users, of millions of dollars.
Truman vetoed the natural gas bill,

Sues Papers On
Monopoly Charge

New Orleans LPA) = In the
first such action by the govern
ment, two New Orleans papers
were charged in a civil antitrust
suit June IA with monopolistic
practices injuring a competitor.
"Illegal and unfair practices
that destroy competition in the
newspaper field must be eliminat-
ed if we are to continue to depend
upon our great free press as a
bulwark of political as well as
economic freedom" Attorney Gen.
eral j. Howard McGrath said on
filing the suit.
The Times Picayune, a morning
paper, was charged with buying an
evening paper, the States, in 1888
under a restrictive covenant to
prevent competition. 1t was furth-
er alleged that in 1941 the two
papers made a deal with the other
paper, The Item, to stop publica-
tion of it's Sunday edition.
Recently the Item was bought
by j. David Stern, formerly of
Philadelphia. Since that time, the
suit charges, advertisers must use
both the Times-Picayune and the
States, or they don't get in. The
suit alleges also that local adver-
tisers were given special low rates
if they did not advertise in the
Item; that the Times-Picayune kept
vendors from selling the daily or
Sunday Item, by refusing to let
them sell the Times -Picayune and

Demands Halt On
Ship Transfers

Washington (LPA)-The Mast
ers, Mates & Pilots -AFL, repre-
senting $4,000 licensed merchant
marine deck officers, called upor
Secretary of Commerce Sawyer to
halt the transfer of American ships
to foreign flags, "in the interests
of the American merchant marine
and national defense" The action
was taken at the MM&P conven-
tion here.
The deck officers told Sawyer
they welcomed his assumption of
administrative control of the mer-
chant marine under President Tru-
mans Reorganization Plan No. 2l.
Formerly the merchant fleet was
ruled by the now defunct Maritime
Commission, which the MM&P
charged with "inefficiency and
lack of effectiveness in preventing
the transfer of American ships to
foreign registry" However, the
union denounced the appointment
of Maj. Gen. Philip Fleming, form
erly chairman of the Maritime
Commission, to the new post of
Assistant Secretary of Commerce
for Transportation. Fleming does
MT know enough about the shipping
business, the union said.
The convention reaffirmed the
stand taken by the CIO and AFL
maritime unions which met in
Washington in March. At that time
the unions called for legislation
legalizing the hiring hall, hard

Teomsfers' Tobin
Warns Unions Of
Fools Paradise

CHICAGO IPA)-Fat treasur-
les and big memberships can be a
fools paradise" for unions, Pres
ident Daniel j. Tobin of the AL
Teamsters told the monthly meet
ing of the Chicago Federation of
Labor.
"All the money you've got and
all the membership you've got can
all go down the drain in two or
three years." Tobin said. "That will
happen if they keep on fighting US
with laws and court cases and in
functions and other weapons"
Tobin urged that the unions
spend their money for political
education. "We can't afford to lose
more men like Senator Claude
Pepper, the great friend of labor
who was beaten by anti-labor
forces in Florida" he said.
Tobin said that his union has
just contributed $62,500 to the
AFL Labor's League for Political
Education.
