is no more local matter than
selective service is"
Under the present law, federal
rent ceilings end Dec. 81 except in
communities where action to con-
tinue rent control has been taken.
About 200 communities out of 5000
under controls have voted to ex-
tend ceilings. In others the issue
will be decided at the elections
Nov. 7. Woods said the "major OBJ
jective" of the present rent law
was "to get the maximum in local
determination in the rent control
operation"
Here's what's been happening
under "local determination: In
Indianapolis one soldier from Camp
Atterbury is paying $125 a month
for a five-room house without uti-
lities, whereas comparable houses
rent for S55; another soldier is
paying $3.50 for house that ordin-
arily rented for $65. In South
Carolina, Fort Jackson ne +
Columbia is being reactivated. The
landlords have set up a media
ton" committee. If a CT rents a
place and finds he is gouged, he
complains to the board. The board
then has the right to tell him to
get out within Is days and then
declare the place off limits. That
puts a premium on not complain
ing.
In San Diego, California, folks
must pay SIS to SO to register be-
fore a real estate agent will show
them house or apartment. One
outfit advertises a home for rent
for $75, and when a prospect comes
in, tells him that's been rented and
tries to sell the prospect a house.
In New York state, which has its
own rent control law, in five mon
tbs 51,937 landlords have applied
for increases, and in 37,387 cases
the hikes were granted. In only SO
cases have rents been cut, usually
because service or dwelling space
was cut
Meanwhile Woods continues to
decontrol, acting on local option
resolutions. Latest are Brentwood, !,
Dinuba, North Sacramento and San
Bruno, Calf; Geneva, Ohio; and
Mt. Lebanon township, Penna.

| p osals for re-affiliation fell
through because of inability to
lreach a jurisdictional agreement
acceptable to lam members, who
still have the final say-so.)
In his address, Hayes said:
"We must look not at our per-
sonal opinions and differences that
we may have had in local points or
territories, but consider the overall
future hopes of the entire trade
union movement. The forces of re-
action are we'll united. The future
welfare of every wage Garner de-
pends likewise to large degree on
eventually uniting the trade union
movement in order that we may
effectively cope with our opposi-
tion.
"We earnestly request that the
entire membership of the Inter
national Association of Machinists
support this unanimous action of
their executive council by an over
whelming vote in the interests of
trade union unity. Our re-affilia-
tion with the American Fedora
tion of Labor is, in our opinion, a
constructive way to work for this
objective"
Present at the meeting were
Grand Lodge representatives and
auditors, railroad and airline gen
eral chairmen, district and local
business representatives.

1948, less than 100000 gallons
were brought in.
FOOD: Overall production OF
all major crops of food, fiber and
oilseeds although smaller than
last year--will be larger than in
any of the war years and the four
tn largest on record.
Agriculture Department esti-
mates put corn, the nations most
important single crop, at over g.
100, 100000 bushels. This is plenty
for feed, which means there will be
adequate meat and poultry.
Wheat production will be slight
ly under last years but there will
be record crops of soybeans and
sugar beets. There will be another
big surplus of potatoes. Citrus
fruits will be more plentiful. The
grapefruit yield is expected to be
up almost 40 percent over last sea-
sons small crop. More oranges too.
Sugar is SO plentiful that a lead
ing broker on the New York Sugar
& Coffee Exchange recently criti-
cized the government for taking
the precaution of buying up the
Cuban sugar supplies.
COTTON: This years crop is far
short of market needs. Government
restrictions held it down to 12,o00,-
900 bales to start with, and poor
weather and insects cut the pros
pect to under 10,000,000. The Agri-
culture Dept. ordered almost so
percent cut in cotton exports.
The government will seek a 16,-
100000 bale crop in 1861. Cotton
growers say this will create a
"labor emergency" in the south and
are asking for the importation of
Mexican labor. Such a move would
break down union gains in the cot
ton fields.
You'll be able to get shirts,
sheets and towels for some time to
come, but the prices will be mur-
derous.
HOUSING: New credit curbs
and requirements for 5 to so per-
cent down payments on homes will
cut buying and building. The in
dustry is also suffering from ma
terials shortages. Structural steel,
steel for reinforcing, steel SASH,
steel sheet and plasterboard are at
a premium.

1877 Percent Is
Not Enough Says
Steel Firm Head

Pittsburgh UPA)-They're not
making anywhere near enough pro-
fit, and should up prices, according
to Adm. Ben Moreell, president OF
the Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp
J&L profits for the second quarter
of 1850 were 1877 percent. For the
third quarter they have been great
er.
J&L has already boosted prices
on galvanized products $3 to So a
ton, but Moreell, in addressing a
regional meeting here Of the Amer
lean Iron q Steel Institute Oct. IL,
said the steel industry has been "in
a sub-parity position with respect
to the rest of the industrial econ
omy in prices and consequently
profits. 1t is therefore essential for
the industry to achieve economic
equilibrium with the rest of the
economy. To do this we must cor
rect an obsolete price structure and
thereby restore the investment
status to the steel industry so that
1t can compete with other indus
tries for risk capital"
(Not long ago the major steel
producers announced great plans
for increasing capacity by building
additional plants, and talked in
huge sums. If they were not at
tracing enough "risk capital then,
where were they going to get the
money for their expansion-which
they promise for 1862, not now.)

Jersey Sick Law
Good II Days
After Job Ends

Trenton, N. J. (LPA) - Under
New Jerseys cash sickness law, a
worker is. covered for IA days after
leaving covered employment here
no matter where he goes during the
Ia day period.
Recently the states division OF
employment security SO ruled in a
case involving an electrician from
Brooklyn, N. Y, who quit 'cov-
cred" job, in Jersey City and hust-
led to Aruba, Netherlands West In
dies, to work for a Hoboken con-
tractor.
After working in Aruba three
days, he fell off ladder during his
off time, injuring his back and leg.
The New Jersey cash sickness law
is designed to protect workers
against loss Of wages from illness
or other non-occupational disabil-
ity, but the injured man was a
long way from the Garden State.
The electrician was hospitalized
in Aruba and in April returned to
the States for further medical
treatment. He Immediately filed
suit against his Jersey City en-
ployer's private insurance carrier,
claiming coverage. The insurance
company denied responsibility.
However, the division of employ
ment security said the injured man
was legally covered because he fell
from the ladder within the 14-day
limit. ~

Get Ready For Big Rent
Increases At Yeurs End
BY IRVING PAGAN


Washington (LPA)-Unless the
people shout loud and long, there
will be no protection against rent
gouging when the present federal
controls end Dec. 81.
Sen. Burnet Maybank Cd, SCI,
chairman of the Senate banking
and currency committee has sann-
ounced there will not be time
enough to consider, frame, and en-
act new rent control law at this
session of Congress.
Housing Expediter Tighe E.
Woods, a day later, agreed. He
voiced his opinion the same day
that new credit restrictions on
home-buying were announced. The
purpose was to reduce construction
next year from this years total
record of 100000 to 100000. This
said government experts, will be
an anti-inflationary move. But
labor men pointed out that, instead,
it will be a system of rationing in
reverse. Those who need housing
most will be the least able to get
it, because under the new regula-
tions down payments will rise from
to so percent.
If you're a veteran, you'll have
to put down percent for house
selling for $4,000 or less Chats
$3.50 for a $4,000 house,; and on
up, to as percent for a house S24,-
$50 and up. If you're a non-veteran,
you'll have to put down ten per-
cent ($500) on a $4,000 house, and
on up to 80 percent down for a
house from $4,000 up. And in both
cases you have less time to pay off
the mortgage.
Government experts said the
move would cut the price of new
homes by reducing the demand and
lessening competition among build
ers for raw materials. Labor ex-
perts believe that such restrictions
should not be enforced until essen
tial civilian and military needs are
met.
Americans for Democratic Ac-
tion has demanded that Maybank
start hearings at once on new
rent control bill. Otherwise, said
ADA, the people would be "squeez-
ed intolerably" by rising rents.
"The American people, already
paying higher taxes and higher
prices and restricted in the use of
their credit, will be squeezed intol-
erably if rents are allowed to go
up, which surely will happen if
controls are ended," ADA said in a
letter to Maybank signed by Ma
tional Executive Secretary James
Loeb, Jr.
Chairman Brent Spence of the
House Banking committee has an
nounced that his group would hold
hearings on rent control before the
session gets under way.
ADA told Maybank that "the re-
duction in housing credit, the drain
ing away Of basic materials from
home construction, and population
shifts resulting from defense pro-
duction all require stability in rents
and uniformity in eviction laws.
The present laws requiring affir-
NATIVE local action to keep con
trolls after Dec. 81, was passed be-
fore the Korean war. While con-
tinued control might have been a
local matter in the absence of a
national emergency, it cannot be
now, as you say it is. Rent control

agreed.
Maybank said the issue is now
"a local matter and should be set
tied in local political campaigns.
There is not enough time at the
session resuming Nov. 27 to hold
adequate hearings, he asserted.

IAM's Hayes Urges Return
To AFL, Ask Labor Unity

| Chicago (LPA)-If the 600,00O
members of the International Asso-
citation of Machinists vote to re-
turn to the American Federation of
Labor this winter, action will be
on the basis of a five-point accord
reached by the AFL and LAM ex-
ecutive councils.
At meeting of 500 lam repre-
sentatives here Oct. 10, union Pre-
sident All Hayes announced that
the Machinists' executive council
was unanimously recommending
that, in view of the accord, rank
and-file members approve re-affil-
iation in a referendum expected to
be held in January. The lam left
the AFL in 1945 as the result of a
Ilongdrawn jurisdictional dispute
with the Brotherhood of Carpent-
ers.
Hayes said the five points to
which both lam leaders and the
AFL Executive Council had agreed
were:
(1) The lam will have the same
jurisdiction it had before its with
drawal from the AFL.
(2) The lam will have the same
rights and privileges enjoyed by
all AFL unions.
:. (3) An AFL letter regarding jur-
isdiction over certain jobs on the
trial runs of ships has been with
drawn, PRESUMABLY, this with
drawaP' would mean jobs for Ma
chinists which the AFL gave to an
other union after the lam left the
AFL.)
(4) The AFL has instructed it's
Building Trades Department it
lacks authority to settle jurisdic
tional disputes in which a union
not member of the department is
a party.
(5) If the Building Trades De-
partment tries to settle such dis
pute in violation of the new AFL
directive, the AFL will notify the
parties involved that the depart
ment lacks authority to act.
In his address to the lam repre-
sentatives here, Hayes made al
strong plea for labor unity.
despite the success of our own
organization in recent years, de-
spite the fact that the labor move
ment is stronger in numbers and
better organized, in separate little
stalls, than ever before, we are see
ing profits run completely away
from wages" Hayes said.
"We have learned that it doesn't
help US to be strong in numbers
alone. We have got to be intelli-
gent as we'll as strong. Never wasl
there a time in history when sol
much thought and so much cash.
were being thrown into the fight
against organized labor and the in
terests of the plain people. In these
circumstances, we cannot afford to
continue feuding and fighting
among ourselves. Neither the CIO, |
the AFL nor any individual organ
ization can do the best job of rep
resenting it's members either poll
tically or economically until We
practice what we preach, until we
organize ourselves into a single |
great movement"
The LAM president detailed the
long negotiations between the lam
executive council and the AFL ex-
ecutive council. He said that the
five-point accord was what the
lam proposed last January when
the developments began which led
observers to believe that the Ma
chinists would soon return to the
AFL. Last month, at the Houston
the AFL repeated its
longstanding invitation to the
lam to re-affiliate. previous pro-
