Union Makes New
Proposal To Break
ChrysIer Strike

Detroit (LPA)-In another ef-
fort to break the deadlock in the
Chrysler strike, the United Auto
Workers submitted a new proposal
to management April 5.
To overcome the company's OBJ
lection to the unions cents-per-
hour basis on pensions the union
proposed an approach whereby the
company must meet the cost of
pension benefits, whatever they
might be, without a special cents
per-hour specified.
The union proposal does, how
ever, provide for establishment of
a trust fund into which the COM
pany would make the necessary
payments. The proposal will "pro-
vide every worker in Chrysler with
the security to which he is entitled
by the creation of an equity for
each worker in the pension trust
fund.-" said the unions announce
ment.
Aside from the pension issue,
there still would remain the ques-
tions of hospital, medical and in
surance protection and contract i'm
provements to be resolved.

Murray Calls For
Labor To Unite
To Fight Reaction

Washington GPA)-CIO Pres
ident Philip Murray on April call
ed for establishment Of a united
labor committee "to meet the pre-
sent critical situation facing labor
and the nation"
Acting on the authorization Of
the CIO executive board and the
CIO vice-presidents, Murray sent
identical letters to William Green,
president Of the American Fedora
tion Of Labor; w. P. Kennedy,
president Of the Railroad Train
men: H. w. Fraser, chairman Of
the Railway Labor Executives As
sociation; John l.. Lewis, president
of the United Mine Workers; Al
vanley Johnson, chief of the Loco
motive Engineers; A. ]. Hayes,
president Of the Machinists.
Murray proposed establishment
Of joint committee with author
ity to embark upon and pursue
common program" The commit
tees mandate, he wrote, should be
"to coordinate our efforts in the
legislative, and political
spheres, and to seek to achieve the
organic unity Of all of American
labor" He continued:
"The establishment Of such
standing committee would provide
inspiration and lead
ership for the millions Of liberal
who are now so much
on the defensive. The activities of
such a committee would be an as

Supreme Court
Asked To Knock
Out Unit System

Washington (LPA)-The U. S
Supreme Court was asked on April
8 to knock out Georgia's county
unit system, last remaining loop
hole through which Southern states
evade federal rulings against race
discrimination in primary voting,
and which has made it possible for
the Talmadges to be elected. If
the Supreme Court will agree to
advance the case, the outcome of
the Georgia congressional elections
this year may be decided in the
Supreme Court.
Under Georgia's unit system, the
candidate getting the most votes
in a given county gets the entire
unit vote of the county. Since the
number of units for counties vary,
with the balance heavily weighted
in favor of the rural areas, the half
million voters of Fulton county
(Atlanta), for example, carry no
more weight than the $4,000 voters
of Troup county. The average
Georgia voter has 11.5 times as
much voting power as resident of
Fulton county.
The U. S. District Court in
Georgia upheld the legality of the
county unit system March Is in a
suit filed in January by Bernard
South and Harold Fleming, two
businessmen from Atlanta. Their
lawyers filed an appeal here April
3. At the same time they moved to
advance the case so decision can
be obtained before the primary,
June 28. In Georgia, the primary. is
the decisive election. The Talmadge
regime, in an effort to forestall
an unfavorable decision, had push
ed up the primary date from Sept
ember, as usual, to June 28.

Wyoming To Have
New Labor Paper

Cheyenne, Wyo. (LPA)-A new
statewide weekly paper will be
launched soon to replace the Wyom-
| ing Utah Labor Journal, which
suspended March 81. The new
paper, privately owned, will be the
officially designated journal of the
AFL and CIO. The Railroad Bro
therhoods, Independent unions and
consumer groups have pledged
support. All Wyoming members of
the United Mine Workers are be-
ing solicited to support the new
paper as they supported the Labor
Journal. Publisher will be Teno
Roncalio, Cheyenne attorney, editor
of the Journal.
James Morgan, dean of union
men in Wyoming and one of eight
original founders and incorporators
of the Labor Journal in 1910, was
a frequent contributor to the early
issues, and recalls today that he
often carried the brunt of the bat
tie for organized labor in the col
umns of the Journal. He recalls
that in the early days of the Mine
Workers, it was often necessary to
have five interpreters at union
meetings, so many different ma
tionalities were represented in the
membership. Gradually "pidgin"
English developed, and the union |
served as examples Of |
in action.

our road to progress. All that is
needed, on our part, is the wisdom
and courage to join together"
Murray pointed out that; The
economy is suffering from the sun
restrained greed of trusts and mon
opolists", whose program of high
prices and low wages has created
widespread unemployment; that the
number of jobless has increased by
100000 each postwar year; that
an "unholy coalition" of Dixiecrats
and Republicans in Congress has
frustrated call progress toward our
common goal of social and econ
omic Justice, has blocked the civil
rights program, and other mea-
sures backed by labor, including
repeal of the Taft Hartley act. He
added:
"The powerful industrialists and
heir reactionary Spokesman in
Congress dare to defeat the peo-
Piles will because they sense, and
take advantage of, the lack of
unity which prevails in the coun-
ellis of organized labor. They be-
lieve that as a result of this lack
of unity, they will be returned to
power in the 1850 Congressional
elections. Only one thing can defeat
them-effective unity of action on
the part Of our great organizations
which speak for millions of Ameri-
can families. The economic situa-
ton, the legislative impasse, and
political realities call for common
action on our part-now."
Murray declared that it is the
"inescapable responsibility of or
ranized labor acting unitedly" to
act now, as otherwise this country
is heading inevitably into "disas-
trous depression"
"My suggestion to form this
standing joint committee is a sin
cere effort to help" Murray told
a press conference Immediately
after the meeting with his vice
presidents.
"When | speak of eventual
unity" the CIO chief continued, 81
mean the eventual unity of all
unions, AFL, CIO, and the great
independent unions alike"
Expressing every hope that his
letter would bring favorable re-
plies, Murray said ''The member
ship of every one of these organ
izations should greet this offer
with glee.''
Asked if he believed the AFL
would insist on its proposal that
and economic coopera-
tion can only follow actual unity,
Murray declared: Personally | be-
lieve the proposal will be welcom-
ed.
At the meeting Of the president
and vice presidents of the CIO, full
of JAWS strike against
the Chrysler Corporation was
pledged, and an immediate dona-
tion of 100000 authorized.

A Church Letter That

Chicago (LPA) - "One of my

with you; you're pro-union, but

And that's typical of the so let
ters week that come to Francis
w. McPeek, who edits Labor Letter.
He's received hundreds of such
comments by now, for he's been at
it since Sept. %, 1947.
Labor Letter is a church letter
that is frankly pro-union. It's a
mimeographed, five-page, single
spaced job, issued weekly, free,
with circulation now of 600

About half are clergy, a third more
labor and management people, and
the rest interested public. 600 cir
culation isn't much, until you null
tiply it by the frequency with which
quotations from the Labor Letter
appear in other publications.)
Labor Letter describes itself as:
"Weekly news about industrial re-
lations and religion. Personal COM
ment by Francis w. McPeek, Sec
retary, Industrial Relations Com
mittee, Council for Social Action,
Congregational c h ri st an Chur-
ches."
1T seems to me-, commented
McPeek, looking back after 100
issues, "that the extraordinary re-
sponse to Protestant labor paper
shows healthy and unsatisfied in
terest. Protestant working and
management people alike seem glad
(even when they disagree) that
even one church group will support
a weekly comment.
"What the hundreds of comments
/ have. received add up to is this:
Protestant church members long
to hear someone say something
about the relation of religion to
economic life and affairs of the
day. And not only Protestants, but
also Roman Catholics and Jews.
The world is hungry to hear any
word from a religious source on
the relationship of faith to bread.
A sure indication of it is the con-
tinued existence of mimeograph-
ed, slow-mail sheet like Labor Let
ter"
Mostly McPeek has been accus-
ed, during his editorship of being
uncritical about unions. And of
course, he's been called a Commun-
ist. He used to burn up until he
figured out that those people must
be fearfully frightened inside, and
strike out blindly because they are
faced with problems bigger than
they are, and because they've lost
all inner sense of security.

Voters Pulse Felt
By Advisers On
Gas Bill Decision

Washington (LPA)-Word from
Key West that President Truman
isn't likely to reach decision on
signing the Kerr natural gas bill
before mid-April has heartened the
municipal officials and spokesmen
for 40 million gas consumers who
are working hard to persuade the
chief executive that approving the
bill is bad idea.
Letters and teiegrams urging a
veto are pouring in to the White
House and to the temporary Pres
idential offices at Key West. Oil
producers in and out Of Congress
are reported working hard to get
the Truman signature. Before de-
bate in Senate and House spelled
out the dollars-and-cents issues in
volved, Presidential approval was
almost certain. Now, the President
has indicated he may wait until
close to the April II deadiine be-
fore deciding what to do.

Congress. 1t revealed in an editor
ial that Guy Gabrielson, chairman
of the Republican Natl Committee,
is president of one Of the biggest
natural gas producers in the coun-
try-Carthage Hydrocol Inc.
"Gabrielson can now do just one
thing gracefully" the News indi-
gantly demands. "He should resign
from the Republican Natl Commit
tee to relieve the GOP-at least a
little bit-of the stencil of another
oil scandal. e..
$50, when the COP has chance
to stand out as the true champion
of the small consumer, and to
create real issue, the Republicans

hest of Master Gabrielson."
The News adds the information
that the man who coined the Glib
erty Against Socialism" slogan for
the COP is an old socialist himself

$18,000,000 borrowed from the Re-

Mayors of Is of the biggest
cities in the country, CIO President
Philip Murray, and many Demo-
cratic Legislators up for reelection
in November have been urging
Truman to veto the measure, which
will cost the consumers of natural
gas from $2.7 billions to $5.4 bill
ions in increased gas bilis over the
life of the present gas reserves.
Frank Edwards, the AFL's radio
commentator, has warned millions
of listeners nightly of the bilPs
character. On March 80, the Mach
mist, weekly organ of the Interna-
tional Association of Machinists,
quoted a statement calling it "a
bigger steal than Teapot Dome"
The profits haul it will give the
big gas producers, both Republican
and Democratic members of Con-
gress point out, would put the taint
of big-business domination once
more on the Democratic party, a
stigma it has avoided effectively
since it won the 1882 elections.
