Harrison DemoIishes Arguments
Of Foes of Rail Union Shop

Washington (LPA)-George M
Harrison, president of the Brother
hood of Railway Clerks, pulled The
props out from under the oppon
ents of the union shop on the rail
roads, in testimony May 26 before
the House Committee on Interstate
Commerce. The committee has beer
holding hearings on the Crossel
bill to amend the Railway Labor
act to permit the union shop.
Harrison demolished the argu.
ments point by point, and in addi-
ton, offered a clarifying amend
ment to meet the argument that
the bill was Ambiguous"
at is thus our position" said
Harrison, "that if a union refuses
to accept an employe into member
ship for any reason other than
failure to pay or tender dues, fees
and assessments, his employment
rights are in no way affected by a
union shop agreement" 1t follows,
therefore, said Harrison, that if a
member is expelled for any other
reason, he does not lose his job,
and he is free of any obligation
under the agreement, including the
obligation to pay dues, fees and
assessments.
The arguments Of his opponents,
Harrison continued "were conjec-
ture and speculation concerning its
effect on the railroad industry" He
questioned the sincerity of these
pleas, said his foes were "tilting at
windmills," and then took the argu-
ments apart, one by one.
He scoffed at the argument that
railroads would not be able to get
suitable employees, noting that no
testimony was given that any other
industries had been unable to get
suitable employees because the
union shop is valid.
AS to an increase in jurisdiction
al disputes, he said a union shop
would do much to discourage raid
ing, would decrease rather than in
crease rivalry, and noted that while
the witnesses for the railroads
were charging the union shop
would bring jurisdictional disputes,
at the same time they were saying
the union shop would encourage
labor monopolies. He pointed out
these two positions are completely
contradictory.
The argument that seniority
would be jeopardized or destroyed
Harrison termed "a red herring" :"
and told why.
He added that "there is nothing
new, unusual or revolutionary in
the union shop" which he pointed
out "is allowed by express provis-
ion Of federal law in all industry
except that covered by the Railway
Labor act"
As 10 the Negro question, Harri-
son said if and when Congress be-
ieves compulsory fair employment
practices legislation should be en-
acted" it should be accomplished
through general legislation. | be-

Top Anti-LdbOr Labor
,SubpOenQed In Probe
BY CUSHMAN REYNOLDS

Washington (LPA)-Rep. Frank
Buchanan Cd, Pa.) subpoenaed the
bitterly anti-labor Committee for
Constitutional Government, fire.
quently described as a fascist or
ganization, and two other lobby
groups to appear before his COM
mittee on lobbying activities June
6. He wants them to explain why
they refuse to disclose their income
sources. The other two organiza-
tions are the National Economic
Council and the Constitutional Edu-
cational League.
Named in the subpoenas are Ed
ward A. Rumely, executive secre-
tary of the Committee for Consti-
tutional Government and one-time
pro- German propagandist; Joseph
Kamp of the Constitutional Educa-
tional Educational League, who is
under sentence for contempt of
Congress; and Merwin K. Hart of
the National Economic Council,
long propagandist for Spanish
dictator Francisco Franco.
At a press conference May 26,
Buchanan made no bones of his
personal distaste for the three or
ganizations, but he stressed that he
had issued the subpoenas solely be-
cause the trio of lobbies refused to
answer some of the questions his
agents put to them. Specifically, he
said, the three groups denied to his
Representatives any information
which would show who provided
financial backing for their activi-
ties. Other lobbies probed by the
House group have given this infor-
nation freely, Buchanan said.
Buchanan issued the subpoenas
"a hours after the Committee for
Constitutional Government asked
the Federal District Court for the
District of Columbia to enjoin four
employees of the House lobby probe
from seeking information about it's
income. In the complaint, the Cog
pictured itself as non-profit edu-
cational institution deriving most
of its income from the sale of
books, pamphlets and other litera-
ture. 1t said that the list of pur-
chasers of it's publications is a
valuable trade secret.
Buchanan believes the Cog is the
parent organization in a network
of organizations lobbying against
labor and the Fair Deal. He thinks
the National Economic Council and
the Constitutional Educational Lea
que are linked to the Cog and be-
lieves that investigation Of the fin
ancial backing of all three will re-
veal the ties. All three organiza-
tions are registered as lobbies. The
decision to subpoena them was
made a week before the cog asked
for an injunction, it was learned.
Congress is entitled to know
which financial interests are back

lieve that since this bill completely
protects the employment rights of
those to whom membership in a
union may be denied and since en-
actment of this bill will in no way
affect the existing rights of such
employees, this is not the proper
legislation into which a fair en-
ployment practice law should be
written"

Labor Asks Senate
Strengthen Social
Security Bill

Washington (LPA)-A concerted
labor drive is in progress to per-
suade the Senate to liberalize the
social security bill reported out by
the Senate Finance committee,
when the measure reaches the floor,
about June 5.
AFL President William Green on
May 26 sent letter to every mem
Der of the Senate urging specific
changes.
The CIO issued a statement by
Emil Rieve, chairman of the Social
Security committee, and president
of the Textile Workers, listing
seven points as a minimum of the
desired changes.
Warming that unless the bene-
fits provided under the public pro-
gram are substantially increased,
social security will continue to be a
controversy in labor-management
relations" the AFL submitted a
carefully documented memorandum
supporting it's position for immedi-
ate further liberalization.
eve urge that protection
against permanent and total disa-
bility be restored; that the wage
base be increased from the present
$4,000 limit; that the increment in
the benefit amount for long service
be retained; that gratuities be in
cluded in the definition of wages
and that the public assistance pro-
gram be strengthened" said Green
in his letter to all Senators.
The memorandum accompanying
Green's letter cited the successful
administration of the twenty other
federal retirement systems enacted
by Congress, including the Railroad
and Civil Service Retirement Sys-
TENS, in answer to the argument
that disability insurance is not
feasible to administer at this time.
Attacking the arbitrary limit of
$4,000, the memorandum points out
that when that figure was set, in.
1885, it would have included the
total wages of about 97%6 of those
under the program, whereas the
limit would need to be set at around
5000 to include the same proper
ton of workers in 1860.
Terming "inexcusable" the Sen
ate's omission of any provision for
the totally and permanently dis
abled, and its refusal "to make de-
cent provisions for dependent chill
dren and others who must rely on
public assistance for survival"
REEVES statement listed tn e S e
points as the bedrock" minimum
for acceptable social security COW
erage at this time.
Raising the maximum wage base
above 5000; restoring
the program of permanent and
total disability insurance passed by|
the House and adding funds for re-
restoring the annual
giving higher benefits to|
workers who have contributed long
er; liberalizing public assistancel
grants; extending old age and sur
vivors coverage to outside sales
men, more farm labor and otherl
groups; provi ling re-insuranceI
grants to states whose funds havel
run low; extending insurance COW
erage with federal funds for an adj
26 weeks in areas of high
unemployment.

OF attempts to influence pubic
opinion and legislation" Buchanan
said. "These three groups have con-
sistently refused to tell Congress
who is behind them. Our committee
is going to find out. Edward A.
Rumely of the Committee for Con-
stitutional Government and Joseph
Kamp of the Constitutional Educa-
tional League have been tried for
contempt of Congress in the past
for concealing the identity of the
money interests back of them. Mer-
win X. Hart Of the National Econ
omic Council has joined them in
! their latest obstruction and defi-
ance of a committee of the Con-
gress. Our committee is going to
| find out the facts and the people
are entitled to know"
Buchanan pointed out that Rum
|ely was convicted after World War
| of violating the Trading with the
Enemy Act in connection with his
purchase of New York newspaper
to spread German propaganda, but
later was pardoned by President
Coolidge after serving only 80 days
of his sentence.
In 1888, Buchanan said, Rumely
and Sumner Gerard, now also with
the Cog, refused to produce re-
cords requested by a Senate lobby
probe and barely escaped contempt
citation. Six years later in 1914,
Rumely actually was cited for con-
tempt by the House committee on
compaign expenditures for failure
to produce records, but was acquit-
ted by a jury in 1916 after two
trials.
Kamp, Buchanan pointed out, is
under sentence to serve a prison
term for contempt of Congress,
having only recently lost his appeal
to the Supreme Court.
Buchanan said that only the Am
erican Medical Association spent
more money lobbying in 1949 than
the CCG, which spent $750,000 to
the AMA's 81, 100000. However, it
makes sure that no single contri-
buttons exceed $490 because under
the Lobbying Act of 1916 the names
of persons contributing $500 or
more to a lobby activity must be
reported, Buchanan said. He indi-
Gated that the real hackers of the
cog would be disclosed only if his
committee could learn who pur-
chased cog literature.
None of the three organizations
endorses political candidates, Buch-
anan observed, but all engage in
extensive political activity by zen
dorsing principles" He said they
created straw men such as estate
socialism, "socialized medicine,
or "socialized housing, then pro-
ceeded to knock them down. He re-
ported that CCG, at least, was ac-
tive in the campaign by which Sen.
Claude Pepper was defeated in the
Florida primary and in the drive
against Sen. Frank Graham in the
North Carolina primary.
The name of the Cog first came
up in the lobby probe several weeks
ago when Leo Goodman, directorl
of the CIO housing committee,
charged that it financed some of
the activities of the real estatel
lobby. Goodman said the Cog sent
out mail and paid for the printing!
of material attacking rent control
and federal housing legislation.
The CCG was founded in 1941 byl
Frank Gannett, reactionary Newl
York state publisher, now a trusteel
of the organization. Buchanan said
he had no plans now to call Gan
nett before his group. In a letter.
to Rumely, Gannett said he hoped
the CCG would "stand firm
against disclosing its in C o m e
sources.

WOMEN IN
INDUSTRY

Women employed in the confec'
tionary industry in New York state
earn approximately $3S for 40
hour week, it is shown in survey
made by the State Labor Depart
ment. The study was made last
February and was based on pay
rolls of 202 firms employing more
than 10000 persons, Industrial
Commissioner Edward Corsi said.
Average hourly earnings of wo-
men were 90 cents, compared with
81 cents when a previous survey
was made in September, 1913
Average weekly earnings of men
and women together were slightly
more than S45 and hourly earnings
averaged Sill. They had averaged
$1.05 in 1913.
Men and women usually do diff
ferent kinds of work in the indus
try, the Labor Department said.
Women's jobs include packing,
wrapping, dipping, stroking and
decorating. Men work as candy
cookers or candy makers, molders,
foremen, drivers, shipping and re
ceiving clerks and maintenance
personnel. ISL
Sixty-three percent of the firms
reporting paid a premium rate for
overtime. In the great majority OF
plants this was time and one-half
for all time put in over 40 hours a
week.
Teacher-tr training institutions in
most states are turning out far
fewer grade-school teachers than
are needed, said a recent report by
the u. S. Labor Departments Bur-
eau of Labor Statistics. In 19A9,
only $4,000 teachers were trained,
though the need was for $4,000

operation with Veterans Admins
tration.
American colleges will have to
train a times as many grade-school
teachers as were trained last year
to meet the estimated peak need for
new teachers in 1953-54, the report
says. Although peak enrolment I'M
grades one to s is expected about
1857 in most states, the greatest
number of new teachers will have
to be hired in 1853, when the most
rapid rise in enrollments is anti
cipated.
BIS notes, however, that the pic
ture for high-school teachers is
quite different. Nearly every state
now has an oversupply of high
school teachers, except in special
subject fields such as home econ
omics, commercial work, and indus
trial arts. Last year, a high-school
teachers were trained for everyl
one needed.
The growing Importance of wo-
men in industry and business, thel
inadequacy of many men as pro-
viders and the strivings of women
for success in fields generally
thought of as masculine, "playl
havoc with the security needs of
children and the traditional relar
of husband and wife," DR..
