Clio Hits Amendment
To Social Security Bill
BY the Assoeioted Pres.

The CIO has written all House
members urging them to remove
the Knowland amendment from
the bill to broaden Social Security
benefits. The letters said those
who vote for the amendment
must be recorded as enemies of
genuine Social Security"
This amendment, sponsored by
Senator Knowland, Republican,
of California, would sharply re-
strict the power of the Secretary
of Labor to hold back unemploy-
ment compensation funds from
States on the basis of failure to
meet Federal standards of ad-
ministration.
The amendment was recently
approved by a Senate-H House
conference committee. President
Truman has urged Congress to
take it out.
The CIO letter said the amend
ment would destroy the Federal
State system of unemployment in
surance and permit States to use
their systems as strike-breaking
union-buSting implements.
