South's Mills

Washington UPA)-A Senat,
Labor subcommitte has confirmed
what had been an open secret fol
a long, long time-that there is {
conspiracy on the part of southern
employers to strangle unionism il

The Standardization of techni-

legal firms which represent EN-
ployers in the same regions. Meth
ods in mills to discourage unionism
also followed a pattern and includ-
ed everything from "gunplay" to
Espionage"
The Taft Hartley law has proved
ineffective in guarding workers
rights, despite the fact that even
it has been repeatedly violated,
according to the Senate group.

portion of the law allowing "econ-

rescinded.
Other TIL objections included:

be a legal "agent" of an employer

Refusal To Help Labor May
Cost Philippines US Loon

Quezon City, P. |. (LPA)-Phil-
ippine politicians are trying to out
bluff Uncle Sam in a deal which
involves the future of all the work
ers in the islands, but they can't
bluff a man from a nation of poker
players-they're going to have tc
ante up or the whole things off.
The deal is this: National econ
omy here has been sagging since
the islands gained their independ-
ence five years ago. Money is need
ed and America is willing to ad-
vance it through the Economic CO.
operation Administration if min
imum wage law and other reforms
are passed.
The 20-man Senate promptly
passed the legislation, but the
House reasons that the United
States will give aid under any con-
ditions because of the threat of
Communist infiltration and because
of 99-year lease for US military
and naval bases in the islands. In
addition, rs percent of all trade is
with America.
But they reason wrong. When
the appeal was made, President
Truman appointed a five-man COM
mittee under Daniel w. Bell to in
vestigate. This group, consisting
of a banker, a professional soldier,
a public utility official, research
director, and a college president,
found one of the great needs is a
strong, independent labor move
ment.
They suggested that the AFL,
CIO, and Railroad Brotherhoods
send representatives to advise and
develop the small free labor group
that has managed to lift its head
above government interference,
company domination and racket
eers. Paul Schuler of the national
CIO is now on his way to see what
can be done to help foster move
ment which can become an active
part of the international Confed-
Grafton of Free Trade Unions,
backed by the CIO, AFL, and Unit
ed Mine Workers.
The Bell group found 20 million
people living on 1883 islands scat
tered over territory as far from
north to south as it is from Cleve-
land to Dallas and as far from east
to west as it is from Washington
to Chicago. Only eleven islands
have more than 1000 square miles.
They range from Masbate, about
the size of Rhode Island, to Luzon
-as large as Ohio, which ranks
34th in area among the states.
Tney found great, fertile, we'll
watered fields between the tower
ing mountains and the sea. High
ly seasonal farm workers got ISL
cents day and their keep. In the
towns common laborers averaged
81 to $1.25 a day and skilled crafts
men got from $2.45 to $3.50.
This they balanced against one
of the highest cost-of-living areas
in the world and declared that even
a highly skilled worker can earn
only half the estimated $1,000 al
year needed to support family of
five. American firms employ about
three percent of the workers. They
pay slightly higher scales, could
pay more, but point to the dispar-

Bor On Corporate 'InterIocking'
a Joke, Soys Chuirman of FTC

Washington (LPA) - The law
forbidding overlapping of directors
on the boards of huge corporations
is so easy to evade it can't be en-
forced, according to James NJ
Mead, chairman of the Federal
Trade Commission.
Mead presented a 510-page study
of interlocking directorates of the
1000 largest US manufacturing
corporations to members of the
House Subcommittee on Monopoly.
He said the intent of the Clay
ton Act, passed in 1914, was to pre-
vent the Sitting Of competition by
providing that no person at the
same time may be a director in any
two or more competing corporations
(other than banking and common
|carriers), any one of which has
capital, surplus, and undivided pro-
fits of more than $1,000,000.
"The rule, however, applies only
to interlocking directors and has no
bearing on interlocks through other
officials" Mead told the commit
tee. 1T can be so easily evaded
that it's scarcely worth enforcing.
There is no violation Of the law if
one concerns president is director
of another or the sales man
ager."
Another fault with the law,
Mead declared, is that it applies
only to "direct" as distinguished
from indirect" interlocks. Indirect
relationships consist of two or
more competitors having directors
on a third company. He cited a.
number of oil companies which do
not swap directors directly but
which all have directors on the
same banks.
Third weakness in the law is
that it does not prevent injury to
competition caused by interlocking
directors on boards of both sup
pliers and customers. Mead said
these dancing partner" arrange
ments work out so a huge steel
mill, for an example, which con-
trolls raw materials through boards
of directors, will gobble up all the
in times of shortage and
leave the small firms holding thel
bag.
Mead said he was not Complain
ing" but merely reporting" this
"evasion by subterfuge" because
the ETC is charged with enforcing
the law and it just can't be done
under the present setup. 81 want to
be on the record when Congress
asks me for an accounting" he de-
clared.
A law to plug these loopholes is
now being prepared and will bel
submitted to the committee byl
Mead for their study. He admitted,
in answer to a question by Com
mittee Chairman Emanuel Cd,
N.Y., that the law couldn't do any

In Washington Sen. Herbert
O'Conor Cd, Md introduced a
resolution to put the Senate on re-
cord as believing Communist lawy-
ers should be barred from practic-
ing in federal courts. The House
Un-American Activities committee
started a probe Of Communist in

just as guilty as if he had said
yes"
Also in Washington the Com
munist Party failed in its attempt
to get a federal court to block en-
forcement of the Subversive Acti-

In Chicago the American Bar
Association refused to withdraw it's
special loyalty oath for lawyers,
and approved a resolution to expel
and disbar lawyers who are Com
munist party members or sympa-
thizers.
In New York seven leading edu-
Gators said courses on Russian COM
should be given in publicl
schools so that American youth
can learn about the threat to demo-
cracy.
At Columbus, Ohio, a resolution
calling for a joint Legislative in
vestigation of Communists and
other subversives was adopted un-
by both houses of the
General Assembly. 1t sets up a
committee of 10 to report back byl
May 10 on findings and recommen-l
