Strike Spreads
Despite BIosf
By White House

Washington (LPA) = The rail
road "sick" strike gathered speed
despite a formidable roadblock
thrown up by the White House.
A formal White House state
ment, the contents Of which Pres
ident Truman "knew about in a
general way, was issued Feb. 2
by Joseph Short, Presidential sec
retary. 1t accused chiefs of the four
operating unions of "bad faith" in
failing to recommend to their gen
eral memberships an agreement
they signed Dec. 21.
Short had no comment on future
plans of the President, merely is
sued the statement, which said the
strike is injuring national secur-
ity, and insisted the men should
remain at work while negotiations
go on.
The statement did point out that
negotiations have been dragging
on for more than two years, but
said failure to ratify the agree
ment was no excuse to strike.
At weeks end, however, the
strike was spreading and more
than 10000 members of the Broth
erhood of Railroad Trainmen, along
with growing numbers from other
rail unions, had reported "sick" on
40 railroads in SO cities. There
were Widespread freight and mail
embargoes and curtailment- of
passenger service east of Chicago
and north of Washington.
w. P. Kennedy, BRIT president,
denied union responsibility for the
walkouts and said the rail man
agements had provoked them by
their refusal to correct "cruel and
unjust" conditions. He warned that
refusal to enter cleancut collective
bargaining was promoting anar-
chy on American railroads.
In the Feb. issue of Trainman
News, BRIT official weekly publica-
ton, Kennedy said the union has
"a long record of playing a produc-
tive and law-abiding role in the af-
fairs of our country. We are try
ing to live up to that record-and
are still and will continue to try to
work out an agreement with the
carriers, or with the Government. "
He denied the strikes were in any
way authorized or inspired or
aided by the leadership of this
union," and said everything was be-
ing done to get the men back to
work.
First move by the Government
appeared to be to prove the BRIT
had acted in contempt of a court
order issued during a December
"sick" stoppage. At the outset OF
hearings which opened in Chicago
Feb. 2, Federal Judge Michael L..
Igoe overruled union arguments
and ordered the BRIT to produce
the names and addresses of every
member in the country by Feb. ..

Matt WolI Opposes
Federal Sales Tax

Washington (LPA)-The Amer
lean people must make the sacrl-
fices required by the defense pro
gram but they shouldn't be forced
to pay national sales tax, accor-
ding to Vice President Matthew
VOL of the American Federation
of Labor. He is chairman OF the
AFL's tax committee.
In a letter to Secretary of the
Treasury John Snyder, Woll said:
"1n view of these facts we sincere
ly hope that press reports that you
are considering adoption of any
type of additional taxes on consum-
ers either through federal sales
tax or a manufacturers excise tax,
are untrue" Woll also sent letters
to President Truman, Rep. Robert
Doughton, chairman of the House
Ways G. Means Committee and Sen.
Walter George, chairman of the
Senate Finance Committee.
Unnecessary sacrifice in the tax
field" has already been demanded
of low income workers at the eX-
pense of their living standards,
Woll told Snyder. The AFL officer
mentioned the retention of wartime
excise taxes, boosts in state and
local taxes, preferred income tax
status through "split income pro-
visions for families making more
than $4,000, weak tax laws on
and gifts, tax lOopholes,
and an increase in living costs Of
35 to 40 percent.
at is our considered opinion"
said VOL, "that all additional rev.
enue required at this time can be
raised through continued depend
ence on equitably imposed taxes on.

through revision of taxes-estates
and gifts, and through closing of
all loopholes in existing legisla
tion without the necessity of re-
course of sales taxes"
Moreover, in the framing of
tax measures we are

prove workmen's and unemploy-
ment compensation laws.
NORTH CAROLINA: Rep. Clyde
A. Shreve is fighting to repeal the
anti-closed shop law and to estab-
lish a minimum wage law with a
75-cent floor and time-and-a-half
for overtime. Amendment Of work
mems compensation laws is asked
to raise benefits from a $24 to $35
weekly maximum and death or per
manent disability payments from
$4,000 to $500.
OHIO: Gov. Frank ]. Lauschei
the Democrat who refused to buck
Sen. Taft last year, thinks the
states unemployment and work
mems compensation benefits are
ok. and should not be changed.
Two FEPC bills have been intro
duced which would have com
mission to enforce fair employment
standards. Sen. David NJ. Fergu-
son wants a joint investigation Of
the Buckeye States workmen's
compensation board to probe re-
ports of colIusion among lawyers in
settling claims.
OREGON: Workmen's compen-
sation under the "hazardous occu-
pations" section would be extended
to bus and cab drivers under one
new bill and another would extend
coverage of unemployment insur-
ance to 10000 employees Of small
firms. Coverage now is required
only of employers of four or more
people.
RHODE ISLAND: About 5000
workers in laundry and dry clean
ing plants who are now covered by
by a 12-year-old minimum wage of
30 cents an hour may get relief
soon. A nine-man board has been
appointed to recommend revisions.
TENNESSEE: The administra-
tion is backing plans to increase
maximum unemployment compen-
sation benefits to S24 for 20 weeks.
1t is now $40 for 20.
UTAH: A state-administered oc-
cupational disease fund is asked OF
the legislature here along with a
SO weekly increase in benefits
for occupational diseases and work
mems compensation injuries. Max
imum is now S25 a week.
WISCONSIN,: A new minimum
wage law is in the works here that
will cover all workers instead OF
lust women and children as at pre-
sent. 1t would be 65 cents the first
year it was enacted, 70 cents the
second and 70 cents the third.

any section of the American people

opinion, this is being done at the

After President Truman sent his
proposed $71.6 billion pay-as-you-
go budget to Congress, Secretary
Snyder told a news conference the
Administration would urge clos
ing of all the remaining loopholes
in present tax legislation. 1t is be-
lieved that plugging the loopholes
would make it possible to pick up
part of the $16.5 billion deficit the
President anticipates next year.
Snyder refused to say whether the

(some of which are controlled under
the Rent Control Extension Act
passed by Congress at the "lame
duck" SESSION., prices in the pub
lication and communications fields,
insurance prices, utility prices, real
estate prices, train, bus and plane
fares.
Here is the situation with regard
to food prices, the knottiest pro-
blem faced by Mike Disable. Your
family grocer or super-market capt
raise meat prices and he can't boost
the prices of a number of other
items. But the retailers can raise
the prices on many foods enough to
reflect change in farm prices.
These foods include canned fruits
and vegetables, bread, butter, eggs
and chickens. Completely uncon-
trolIed are seafood, fresh fruits and
vegetables, and tree nuts.
The government could have
frozen the prices of cattle and hogs
because they are above parity.
But prices of "live animals" and
other raw foods were exempted
from the order.
Under the Defense Production
Act, farm prices cannot be con-
trolled when they're below parity
or below the May 24-June "a
level. ("Parity" is calculated from
a formula designed to maintain
the farmers power to purchase in
dustrial goods.) And at the same
time, no absolute retail ceiling can
be placed on products subject to
parity because retailer must be
allowed profit. That is why a
grocer can raise the price of eggs
to reflect" farm prices.
In his radio interview, Disable
said that in imposing number OF
rollbacks he would devise "tailored
regulations" for specific commod-
tiles. (For instance, just before the
general freeze, prices on hides were
cut back to the November level }
He indicated there might be action
on fresh fruits and vegetables anc
on seafood.

Morton Salt Co.
Fined 40 Grand

Chicago (LPA) - You've read
about "salt monopolies" in your
history book but they may not be-
long entirely in the past.
The US District Court here fined
the Morton Salt Co. $4,000 on
Jan. 26 and directed the firm to file
a special report on pricing prac-
tees requested by the Federal
Trade Commission in 1947.
Back in 1913, the FTC ordered
Morton and 1S other salt companies
to cease and desist from a conspir-
acy to fix the price of salt and to
regulate or restrict its production
and sale. The companies had ad;
mitted the conspiracy. In 1947, the
government agency told the COM
panies to file special supplement-
ary reports of compliance. Morton
refused.
The ETC brought suit, asking
the courts to order the report filed
and seeking $100 a day in penal
ties for each day Morton was in
default. The government lost in
the District Court and in the Sew
enth US Circuit Court of Appeals
on the ground that the ETC lacked
authority to require report. But
a year ago the Supreme Court ruled
in the FTC's favor. The $4,000
Judgment against Morton by the
District Court stemmed from the
Supreme Courts decision.
Still pending was judgment in a
companion case against the Inter
national Salt Co. of Scranton, Pa.

NLRB Asks Court TO Enforce
Orders Against ITU

Chicago (LPA)-The National
Labor Relations Board has filed
two petitions with the US Court OF
Appeals here, asking enforcement
of board orders against the Inter
national Typographical Union. The
NLRB ordered the ITU in 1949 to
stop what the board called attempts
to enforce a closed shop at news
paper plants, and other lTU prac-
tees. NLRB action followed re-
quests of the American Newspaper
Publishers Association, represent
ing 800 newspapers.
Charges against the ITU were
brought by the ANPA and by five
Chicago newspapers. Two other
cases involving the ITU are still
being investigated by the NLRB.
They were brought by the Print
ing Industries Of America and by
Baltimore print shop owners.

Price-Woge Freeze Was A S+opgoP;
Modification of Controls To Come

Washington (LPA) - When the
price-wage freeze was announced
Jan. 26, the first reaction among
labor leaders was one of dismay.
Why, they wanted to know,
should prices be frozen at levels SO
high that nobody could afford
them? Why should wages be froz-
en- at all when they Jagged so far
behind prices?
But it soon became apparent
that the freeze was a stopgap, that
the real shape of controls was still
to come. In short, the freeze was
an effort to get something started
in the face of mounting necessity.
The freeze order was issued late
on Friday afternoon. BY the fol
lowing Monday afternoon it was
clear that considerable modification
of the order was in the offing, if
not actually in progress.
1t was learned that Economic
Sterilization Administrator Eric
Johnston would call conference of
top leaders from both labor and
industry to lay plans for handling
wage disputes expected to result
from the order.
Price Chief Mike Disable, the
chubby former mayor of Toledo
Ohio, had said in a radio interview
that there would be Substantial
rollbacks" on prices in a number of
fields shortly. He also warned that
the government would deal harshly
with black markets, sparing buy
ers no more than sellers.
Cy Ching's nine-man wage stab
ilization board was hard at work
seeking equitable ways to softer
the wage freeze. Ching was quot.
ed as saying: "When a freeze is
issued it lowers the temperature
all around. In such a situation it's
advisable to keep your shirt on"
1t was expected that the first
wage relief might be an order per-
mitting increases already negoti.
ated or granted but not yet in eff
feet to be paid.
On the morning of the 29th, the
Office of Price Sterilization open
ed up 13 regional and AZ district
branches across the nation to cope
with price problems at local levels
Regional offices are located il
Boston, New York, Philadelphia
Richmond, Atlanta, Cleve a d

Act of 1850 at the highest leve
prevailing between Dec. 10 and Jan

frozen.

Spectators
To Blu1ne For
High Prices

Washington (LPA)-It's just not
true that prices are high because
people have a lot of money to spend
and there's more money on hand
than goods. So declared Stanley
Ruttenberg, union research direct
or, as panel member discussing
initiation before the Joint Commit
tee on the Economic Report. High
prices, said Ruttenberg, are "main-
ly due to price speculation by many
people"
Nor is hitting the lower income
groups with higher taxes the way
to stop inf a t on, Ruttenberg
argued. He said profits have shown
"a terrific increase" and the new
excess profits tax doesn't begin to
touch them" He charged many
businesses are selling goods pro-
duced at old costs at current and
higher selling prices"
He drew a distinction between
consumer expenditures of the tor
20 percent (101a million families)
of the population and the lowest
60 percent 81 million families)
The top 20 accounted for 40 per-
cent of expenditures, and the bot
tom 60 for only 371a percent, he
said.
DIR. Edwin G.. Nourse, former
chairman of the Presidents Coun-
Gil of Economic Advisers, said wage
and price controls are not enough
to stop initiation, and called for
fiscal, credit and materials con-
trolls. He predicted short lull, fol
lowed by increasing fury" of in
flation. Even drastic tax increases
Gin the mass brackets" will have
only limited usefulness, he said, II
Congress increases military pay
and veterans benefits.
Roy A. Foulke, a Dun & Brad
street executive, said price freez-
ing attacks only the symptoms, not
causes, of initiation, called for
credit controls, a pay-as-you-go
policy for government spending.
Martin Gainsbrugh, chief econ
omist for the National Industrial
Conference Board, predicted fur
ther price advances since 40 per-
cent of the cost of living is food
and much of the food is not cover
ed in the government freeze order.
Donald B. Woodward, a vice
president of the Mutual Life In
surance Co., blamed initiation on
too much spending power compared
with the available supply of goods
and services.
V. Lewis Bassie, Illinois Univer-
sity economist, blamed recent
moderate" price increases on un-
usual consumer buying and inven-
tory buying. He said price rises
will be neither permanent nor un-
limited in their rate of advance. de
said government had "blundered
into all-out price-wage controls.
Leon H. Keyserling, chairman of
the Presidents Council of Economic
Advisers, said heavier taxes must
be the chief weapon in the fight
on initiation but wage-price con-
trolls are desirable" He said
"there is no such thing as one
single panacea."

No Reason For Firing

Niagara Falls, NY (LPA) - A
new employe in union shop need
only pay an initiation fee and regu-
lar dues, a National Labor Rela-
tions Board trial examiner here has
ruled.
Robert G.. Brown was hired by
the National Cylinder Co. and told
he must join Local 375, AFL
Teamsters within 80 days because
of a union shop agreement. Brown
agreed to pay a $25 initiation fee,
but balked at a SIS strike assess
ment and was discharged at the
request of the union. He went to
the NLRB.
Examiner Albert p. Wheatley
said the Taft Hartley law provided
for dismissal from union shop
only for failure to pay periodic
dues and initiation fees" He ruled
the strike assessment was neither,
and ordered the company and union
to pay Brown for time lost.

Disability Law Change Sought

Albany, N. Y. QLNS).-Harold
C. Hanover, secretary-treasurer OF
the New York State Federation of
Labor, announced here that the
federation would seek changes in
the state sickness disability law to
prevent possible denial of benefits
to striking workers. He said that
administrators of the law were
considering a ruling that would
forbid payment of benefits to work
ers who became i'll while on strike.
