tanned, has been stirred up by
Beime. According to the union, he
said, this years negotiations were
marked by stalling tactics on the
part Of the company, and the union
postponed a strike only because of
requests from the Federal Media
tion e. Cancellation Service.
Bolenius asserted that the actu-
al stalling was done by the union,
which didn't want some divisions to
face a collective bargaining fight
in an isolated position. He charged
Beirne with responsibility, be-
cause the union head requested all
Go members to overwork phone
equipment in the event of a strike
and a scab-operated service.
When the hearings wound up
August 30, the committee could
have no doubt that there is trouble
in the phone industry's labor re-
lations. The big disagreement
would be on whose fault it is-the
company's or the unions.
Senator James Murray Cd,
Mont), chairman of the Senate
on labor-manage-
ment relations, called the hearings
to collect evidence on the way labor
relations are working under the
Taft-Hartley law. The group hopes
to make recommendations for flu
ture legislation.

Let Wealthy Back
Taft, Ferguson Can
Win With Workers

Chicago (LPA)-The Taft-Fer
guson senatorial race in Ohio re
minds President William F. Schn
itzler of the Bakery & Confection'
cry Workers-AFL of a post-C Civi
War election episode.
Seems the two candidates fo1
Congress were veterans. One haC
been a general, the other a private
At one meeting both were featured
speakers. Schnitzler tells the story
in the Bakers & Confectioners
Journal.
The ex-general spoke first. He
dwelt "Iong and loud on his abil-
tiles, always stressing the high
rank he had held in the army
Schnitzler says.
Then came the ex-private. Ac-
cording to Schnitzler, ''he surpris-
ed the listeners by agreeing with
just about everything the general
had said about himself" although
he did point out that privates were
pretty busy in wartime too.
Finally, the ex-private made a
suggestion: all ex-privates ought
to vote for him, he said, while ex-
generals voted for his opponent.
P. S.: The ex-private won the
election, spent many years in Con-
gress.
Schnitzler says that old-time
election in Mississippi "demon-
strates that those with the loudest
boasts are apt to wind up with the
weakest count in the ballot box"
Moreover, he contends, there's
something of the private and the
general angle involved" in Ohio
this year. He writes:
Senator Taft, who graduated
from Yale and Harvard, is a veal
thy property owner, a man who
likes to hold his head above the
masses and point with SNUG pride
to his royal background. His oppon-
ent, Joe Ferguson, got his educa-
tion from the grand old teacher of
all truly wise men, Experience. He
sometimes uses 'ain't', but over a
long period of public service he has
proved himself capable, honest, and
fair"
Let Taft have the vote of the
rich. says the Bakers president;
Joe Ferguson "will be content on
election day to get the votes of all
the workers" But, Schnitzler caut-
ions, the Fergusons won't win this
fall unless members of organized
labor and their families register
and vote"

BILL INTRODUCED TO ALTER
SENATE DEBATE PROCEDURE

Washington (LPA)-In protest
against the Wherry cloture rule
which requires approval of two
thirds of all members of the Sen
ate to close debate so that con-
troversial issue can be voted on,
Sen. Herbert H. Lehman Cd, Lib.
N. Y.) has introduced an amend
ment to the rule. The amendment
is sponsored by II other Senators.
For legislation of a national en-
ergency nature, Lehman's amend
ment would provide for cloture by
a vote of two-thirds of those pre-
sent and voting after two days of
debate. For non emergency legisla-
tion, it would make cloture pos
sible after Is days of debate by a
vote of a majority of those pre-

Industry-Wide Bargaining Opposed By
iT&T Officials As Phone Hearings End

Washington (LPA)-Officials OF
Jarious Bell System telephone
ompanies paraded before a Senate
subcommittee August Is to 80
itating their opposition to indus
ry-wide bargaining in the phone
industry.
Last Of the lot was w. c. Bolen-
Us, vice-president of American
Telephone G. Telegraph Co. Bolen-
US told the Senators that AT&T
Toes not dictate policy to its affil-
ated companies. He further con-
ended that bargaining should be
iept strictly on a local basis, be-
:ause each Of the many phone con-
racts is different, and besides, he
nd his staff Of six couldn't pos
IDLY handle bargaining for the en-
ire country.
President Joseph p. Beirne of
Communications Workers Of Am
erica had told the committee, at
previous sessions, that local bar
gaining is impossible because Of
fieials at the bargaining table
don't have the final say, and keep
running to the phone to call AT&T
n New York for their orders.
Bolenius did not deny that the
associated companies consult with
aim on labor matters. 1t is part of
he service offered by the parent
company, he said. Officials of the
local companies are free to make
heir own final decisions, he told
he Senators.
On one thing, the testimony of
he phone companies checked with
that of the union: Collective bar
gaining in the phone industry at
he present time is a complex and
thing. Each contract is
different, Bolenius said. Each has
special clauses and adheres to wageI
scales and practices common in theI
area.
He sees this as a reason for hav-
ing bargaining handled by men
familiar with the situation in their
)wn area. The union sees it as add
ing to the general confusion. A uni
form contract, Beirne had argued,
would lend stability to the indus
try.
Bolenius cited an organizingI
pamphlet published last February
by CWA to refute union charges

.ry are poor. The pamphlet listed
gains won by the union between
1910 and 1850. 1t shows, Bolenius
declared, that there are good

Denhdm Probe Urged By
Morse At ITU Convention

Washington (LPA)-The Senate
should investigate the National
Labor Relations Board and its gen.
eral counsel, Robert N. Denham,
Senator Wayne Morse Or, Ore.)
told the convention of the Interna-
tional Typographical Union-AFL.
Addressing the printers in the
Mayflower Hotel here Aug. %,
Morse said: "We ought to find out
why Denham and the board refuse
to discuss with the ITU the ques-
tion of voluntary compliance, when
at the same time the board works
out with employers settlements
short of the court decree stage
even in the case of employers who
in the past have been found guilty
of repeated violations of the law"
Earlier in the convention, union
attorneys Henry Kaiser and Ger
hard Van Arkel told the delegates
Denham was trying to seek court
enforcement of sweeping orders is
sued against the union by the board
last year without asking the union
whether it was complying with the
orders.
The two lawyers said Denham
was basing his action on a "one-
sided investigation" They insist
ed the union was in full compliance
with the board orders. The orders
were a set Of directives barring
the union from using certain bar
gaining tactics said to violate the
Hartley ban on the closed
shop.
Sen. Morse said Denham's tactics
seemed a "bit high-handed." The
ITU delegates responded with
cheers. Kaiser and Van Arkel had
told them that the NLRB itself
might actually have been fooled
by Denham who apparently was
bent on Turing the Itu into "con-
tempt of court" action.
Meanwhile, the delegates voted
to retain the right to assert juris-
diction in any branch of the print
ing industry "when the vital inter-
ests of the union are affected" A
motion to restrict this right by re-
pealing part of the ITU constitu
tion was proposed by the Denver
delegation to promote better rela-
tions with other printing unions.
ITU President Woodruff Randolph
opposed the motion on the ground
that the Pressmen's union, among
others, was prevented by its major
contract from closer cooperation
with the Typographical Union.
Shortly after the convention
opened, AFL President William
Green called for the defeat of Sen.
Taft and other anti-labor legisla
tors in this falls elections. "Our
main problem" Green said, "is
first to prevail upon our people to
register, and second to see to it
that they cast their ballots on
Nov. T." The AF'L leader COM
mended the ITU for urging its
members to contribute to Labor's
League for Political Education.

Comment On
World Events

AS we survey the grave problems
confronting US, We cannot hell
reaching the conclusion that pre-
servation Of world peace is all
important. In view of the Kremlin's
attitude, the only guarantee OF
peace that we can count upon is
superior armed strength. Thus,
again, our national economy must
be placed on an emergency basis
with higher taxes and economic
controls in order to give priority
to the huge and expensive defen-
sive program.
So far as organized labor is con-
Icerned, we regard war as the great
est enemy Of mankind and we
count any cost low that will pre-
vent third World War.
As much as we hate war, we hate
aggression more. Labor is resolved
to give whatever it takes to save
the world from being overrun by
Communist aggression, Communist
slavery and Communist ruin.
y X y
From the beginning, the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor recogniz-
ed Soviet Russia as the enemy of
our free civilization. Again and
again, we issued warnings against
Communist aggression. Time after
time we called the turn. Year after
year we fought and resisted every
attempt by the Communists to gain
sway over the workers of the
world, not only in our own country,
but in South America, Europe and
Asia.
Now the full scope of Commun-
ist treachery and the full danger
of the Communist threat against
world peace is at last becoming ap-
parent to all Americans and to all
freedom-loving and pea GLOWING
peoples everywhere.
Therefore, despite the tragic ma
ture of the Korean invasion, we
can, at least, be thankful for the
warning it has given us of what
lies in store and the opportunity
it affords US to make ready for
whatever further move Soviet
Russia or her satellites may make
Now, more than ever before, all
must think as one, serve
as one and act as one. Beyond that,
we must prevail upon the people
in every nation where freedom still
lives to serve with us and act with
US in perfect unity. In the world
struggle for the preservation of
peace and democracy, we need all
the help we can get and all the
moral support we can enlist from
those who believe as we do in JUS
tice under God.
Americas greatest strength in
this time of crisis is the loyalty of |
her workers. That loyalty, in turn,
depends upon the freedom of Am
arican workers. In the last war
free American workers demonstrat-
ed decisively that they could out
produce the slave labor of our
enemies. They will prove the same
ruth all over again in any event
lality that may come to pass, pro-
yided the freedom of American
abor is not destroyed.

CALF. AFL LEADER
BLASTS PROFITEERS

San Francisco LPA)-The ira
ditional leaders of American re-
action have already begun their
campaign for soaring prices and
frozen wages, declared C. j. Hag-
gerty, Secretary Of the California
State Federation of Labor in
Labor Day message. He said the
philosophy of free American labor
dictates that we "resist the callous
profiteer who would exploit the
war effort with brutal disregard
for those who are giving blood, and
limb, and life on the Korean pen
insula." Haggerty charged that re-
actionaries see "only the chance
for greater and wider wealth" and
"only the horizons of higher COM
gain"

Publisher Fears
Cooperation May

Atlanta (LPA THE newspaper
publishers are worried about inter
union cooperation in the publishing
industry, such as that which paif
off in the recent World Telegram

WT&S, big New York daily
paper, was completely shut down
and the. strike of American News
paper Guild was assured Of sue
cess, when members Of AFL an
unaffiliated mechanical craf
unions honored the Guild pickle
line.
Referring to the strike, Georg
N. Dale, chairman Of the American
Newspaper Publishers Assn stand
ing committee on labor relations
told a convention of the Interna
tional Mailers Union here that h.
is opposed to such cooperation
among unions and would rathe
have disputes go to arbitration.
"This sympathetic coordination
of unions" Dale said, "leads in
evitably to one union-one news
paper union-a realistic compile
ton of what has started in Ney
York City,"
Delegates to the convention pass
ed a resolution approving the for
nation "on a local, state or inter
basis of joint conferences
