AFL Opposes
|Peace-Time Draft
Senators Told

Washington (LPA)-The AFL is
still "unconvinced that conscrip-
tion of men-and women, as it has
been intimated broadly-in time of
peace" is the way to achieve a
strong national defense.
Legislative Representative Geo
rge d. Riley of the AFL told the
Senate Armed Services committee
that there is a Confusion of ton
CUES" over whether the US is in a
ukewarm war, cold war, or a
war of nerves. The public has been
told by the President, the Secretary
of Defense, the Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, and by many
Senators, that war is not close. On
the other hand, he said, a peace
time labor draft has been urged
upon the Congress by w. Stuart
Symington, head of the National
Resources Planning Board. Riley
led off the non-military witnesses
before the Senate Group.
"We of organized labor" Riley
told the Senators, shave done a
superlative job of combating COM
munism, right up to and even be-
hind the Iron Curtain. We have
stiffened the morale of the labor
ing men in other countries. We
have fostered their will to carry on
and to help rebuild this old world
and to stand solidly against the
unholy onslaughts of the despoiled
and the destroyer. We are proud
of labor's job in this regard. The
job is not yet finished, to be sure,
but we are going ahead and every
day that passes will further remove
the need which some believe they
see for peacetime conscription. We
do not believe this is a time for
tearing this nation apart with this
ISSUE"
Specific bans against racial seq
regation should be written into any
proposal to extend the draft act or
to provide for a manpower regis
tration, the Committee Against
jim Crow in Military Service and
Training urged.
A. Philip Randolph and Grant
Reynolds, co-chairmen of the anti
Jim Crow organization charged the
Army, left to itself, would not inn
plement the recent recommenda-
tions of the Presidents Committee
on Equality of Treatment and OPP
portunity in the Armed Services.

Welfare State Hit
BY Thomas AT
Socialist Convention

Detroit (LPA)-President Tru-
man heads a warfare state rather
than welfare state" Norman
Thomas declared in opening the
Socialist party's Goth national con-
vention here June 2.
The party's perennial candidate
for President said the national bud
get is "six to eight per cent for
welfare and rs per cent for war
fare" A third of the budget, he
said, is dedicated to an arms race
which can lead only to war.
He called the difference between
Republicans and Democrats only
one of degree, answered critics of
the British government, and assail-
ed Communists in government jobs
and teaching as mot free in con-
science to follow the truth" He
said mo one has even the right to
talk of civil liberties who believes
in the slavery and denial of civil
liberties as practiced in Russia"

Injunction Phony
Union At Enka
Files 17O Suits

Morristown, Tenn. (LPA)-Tex-
tile Workers Union of America Is
suing for false arrest of more than
ITO workers on strike at the EnEa
Corp. plant near here.
An injunction limiting pickets to
six at the plant gate was issued by
Chancellor Ben Robertson on May
"a. The Judge rides the circuit in
that part of Tennessee, including
Hamblem county, where the Low
lands plant of Enka is located. A
few days after he issued the order,
and had moved on to another town,
the Clerk of the Court added an
amendment to it drawn up by the
union attorney stating that no one
could picket anywhere near the
plant.
1t was on the basis of this second
order, of which most of the COM
munity was unaware, that charges
were brought against 170-odd pic
kets who had taken their turns at
what they thought was legal pic
keting in front of the plant
The Judge returned to Hamblem
county June 6. When he heard what
had happened the sulphurous noun
tain profanity he used against the
company made the rafters ring. He
then had the entire injunction with
drawn.
National Guard troops stationed
at the scene of the strike were also
withdrawn June 6. About 100
troops were left at the Morristown
armory, with the warning to strik-
ers that they would return 'if any
one misbehaved.
TWUA has wired Queen Juliana
of the Netherlands asking her to
use her influence with Dutch stock
holders in Enka, to force corpora
tion officials to deal "fairly and
honorably with the striking en-
ployees."
The two-month strike of $50
workers has been marked by many
beatings of strikers. Violence was
provoked by the officers of the law,
the union charged, demanding a
Senate investigation.

UE Challenges GE Vote On
Basis OF TObin Speech

Baltimore (LPA) = The United
Electrical Workers, ousted as COM
munist dominated, has filed for
NAL protest with the regional
NLRB office here, demanding new
representation elections in eight
General Electric plants. The UE
charged Secretary of Labor Maur-
ice Tobin "interfered" in the voting
when he spoke at a prediction
rally at Lynn, Mass, staged by the
International Union of Electrical
Workers-CIO. .Tobin, by his speech
"coerced" the Lynn workers so they
did not make free choice, the UE
charged. In fact, said UE, Tobin's
speech also lost them the elections
in seven other plants with $4,000
employees.
IUE has asked the NLRB for
new elections at Erie, Pa, with 12,-
000 employees, and Schenectady, N.
Y, with $4,000. IUE charged Gen
eral Electric interfered in behalf
of UE.

They Polished The
Talks But Forgot
To Perfume Them

Atlantic City (LPA)-The big
owners and distributors of electric
power in the US met here June 5
to at the annual convention of the
Edison Electric Institute.
A N. Y. Times advance story re-
ported that "for weeks several of
the sixteen speakers have been
polishing speeches concerned with
a subject that is causing alarm not
only in the industry but among
millions of investors: the Admins
tration's stress on the need for
more public power"
/ The speeches turned out to need
polishing, because they weren't ex-
actly shiny and new. The phrases
"free enterprise" and "the menace
of Socialism" got their usual work
out along with the same gloom
about government Intervention"
that have been raised ever since
Congress bought Wilson Dam in
1919
The group announced it will
launch "grass roots" campaign to
teach Americans the economic facts
| of life, among them that the coun-
try is in 'the most dangerous and
unsound boom in its history" w.
c. Mullendore, president of the
Southern California Edison Co.,
called it prosperity that becomes
more dangerous as it continues"
Mullendore also attacked the
present lobbying Investigation be-
ing conducted by Rep. Frank Buch-
anan Cd, Pa.). Buchanan has asked
Edison to report what it has spent
to influence legislation in the past
three-and-a-half years, a job that
Mullendore complains would take
an awful lot of time with an adding
machine.
William f. Knox, president of
the Westinghouse Electric Inter
national urged that foreign invest
ment be made tax free. He argued
that, while President Truman's
Point Four program is beyond
criticism "on a humanitarian basis,
it needs some changes before bust
ness can be convinced to cooperate.
Profits from Point Four invest
ments, he said, should be declared
free Of United States Government
tax for period of fifteen years."
Knox said the United States
should supply Asia with complete
ly intergrated factories, managed
by American companies under the
overall direction of General Doug
las Macarthur.
The 5000 delegates unanimously
ratified a 15-point program on
water resources development. 1t
declared that Federal power pro-
jects should pay taxes, that pre-
ference to- cooperatives in sale of
Federal power should be eliminat-
ed, and that riverbasins should be
developed by private capital.
Louis V. Sutton, president and
general manager of the Carolina
Power g. Light Co. was elected to
succeed Elmer l.. Lindseth, presi-
dent of Cleveland Illuminating Co.,
as president of the group. Sutton is
also president of the South Caro-
lima Power & Light Co.

Curbed To Bar Monopoly

New York (LPA)-H. w. Prem

Union League club at luncheon that
unions should be curbed so that no
single union could use "paralyzing"
monopolistic power over industry.
Prentis, board chairman of the

three or four national unions in the

He predicted that if in 1850 the

7-Man Committee
Named By Clio On
Unity With AFL

New York (LPA)-With the un.
animous consent of the C1O Execu-
tive Council, President Philip Muir
ray named a seven-man committee
to meet with an AFL group next
month to discuss labor unity. Muir
ray made the names public when
he released the text of a letter to
AFL President William Green here
June 6.
The announcement came after a
regular meeting of the CIO vice
presidents who together with Muir
ray and Secretary Treasurer James
B. Carey constitute the executive
council. Members of the unity
group are: Carey; L. S. Buckmas-
ter, president of the Rubber Work
ers; Joseph Curran, president OF
the National Maritime Union; AL
Ian S. Haywood, director of organ
ization; Walter P. Reuther, pres
ident of the United Auto Workers
Emil Rieve, president of Textile
Workers; and Frank Rosenblum.
seeretary-treasurer of the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers.
Murray said he would serve with
the group ex-officio. Green is ex-
pected to join the three-man AL
committee in the same capacity.
The CIO vice-presidents urged
Congress to act swiftly to enact
safeguards against unemployment
Specifically, they asked extension
of unemployment benefit payments
beyond 26 weeks, also for 81 $780,
100000 emergency fund to be used
for public works by the President
and for establishment of new
Civilian Conservation Corps some
what similar to, the one set up by
President Roosevelt in the early
30's. The CIO has urged such legis-
lation repeatedly
In another resolution, the CIO
executives called upon Congress to
liberalize the social security law to
include insurance for total disabil-
ity and "a taxable wage ceiling well
above the present $4,000 limit. In
addition, they urged extension of
rent control.
The vice-presidents heard a de-
tailed report from Carey on the
progress made by the new Inter
national Union of Electrical Work
ers in winning members from the
old United Electrical Workers, ex-
PEELED from the CIO last fall be-
cause of Communist domination.
Carey, who heads the new union,
said the IUE had won 1875 NLRB
elections compared to Is for the
UE. He reported the IUE had been
certified or signed contracts COW
ering 225,479 workers in the cleo
trical industry.
The idea of the unity conference
grew from proposal by Murray
that the CIO, AFL, United Mine
Workers, Machinists and Rail Bro
therhoods cooperate on political
and legislative issues while seeking
a path to organic unity. The AFL
replied it would prefer to confer
with the CIO on organic unity first.
