Free Unions Plan
Economic Program

| Brussels, Belgium LPA) - The
technical and material resources of
jail Europe should be pooled to
solve the housing problem gripping
1.-THE continent, the European Reg
ional Conference of the Interna-
tional Confederation of Free Trade
Unions decided at its late January
Injecting here.
Because the rearmament pro-
gram would inevitably have a
grave impact on expenditures for
social welfare by the several Eu-
ropean nations, the housing en-
Urgency was considered especially
important. Accordingly, the confer
ence established a special subcom-
mittee to study the housing pro-
blem and explore the possibility of
obtaining help through Marshall
Plan agencies.
Another subcommittee was set
up to survey overall economic joint
planning. Representatives from
Austria, Belgium, France, Ger
many, Greece, Italy, Norway, the
Saar and Switzerland comprise this
group, which will meet soon to con-
slider proposals submitted by the
Italian unions and by others.
The conference voted to give the
widest publicity possible to the re-
port of an ICFTU mission which
recently visited Austria. The pub
licity should stress the missions
claim that the Soviet Union was re-
sponsible for Austria's economic
plight, the delegates agreed.
A report on trade union mem
bership in Europe showed the fol-
lowing distribution, the delegates
found. Of a total of 35,000, 900
trade unionists, 21,000,000 are af-
filiated with the ICFTU, 100000
are unaffiliated, 100000 belong
to the Christian International and
100000 are attached to the Com
munist-dominated World Fedora
tion of Trade Unions. The ICFTU
spokesmen believed the WFTU
claims greatly exaggerated.
c. J. Geddes of the British
Trades Union Congress was elected
president of the European Confer
ence. Vice-presidents are Botherau
Of the French Force Ouviere, Wyss
of the Swiss Federation, Boehm of
the Austrian Federation and Can
ini of the free Italian unions.

Court Blocks
Move To Bust
-Four Unions

st. Paul (LPA)-There is moth
| ing in the state constitution ol
common law which prohibits public
employees from striking. So the
Minnesota Supreme Court has ruled
in the first such decision by court
of higher jurisdiction. The decision
Knocked in the head the apparent
attempt of the Minneapolis school
board to break four AFL unions in
the public schools.
On Jan. % the 425 janitors and
about half the teachers walked out
because the school board wouldn't
even talk to the unions, let alone
engage in collective bargaining.
The strike shut the public schools.
The board tried to block the strike
with a demand for a law to pro-
hibit all strikes of public employees
and make illegal any strike settle
ment which results in higher
wages.
On strike are Local SO, Building
Service Employees, and Locals SO
and 238 of the American Fedora
tion Of Teachers. Also involved is
Local Sc, State, County and NUM-
cipal Workers, composed of school
clerical workers, which authorized
a strike, but did not actually walk
out.
The board first went to District
Judge John A. Weeks for an in
junction. In refusing the petition,
and ruling that only the legisla-
ture could legally prohibit strikes
by public employees, Judge Weeks
said the board wanted to reserve
to itself "the divine right of kings
and of Louis XIV" The board ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court, still
refusing to talk to the unions. Gov.
Luther w. Youngdahl, Republi-
can, and Mayor Eric Hoyer, "a
Democrat, demanded the board get
off it's high horse and at least try
conciliation. Under public pressure
Superintendent Rufus A. Putnam
finally appeared at the conciliation
conferences, turned down union
proposals, and instead offered a
wage raise which Judge Weeks
called "pitiful."
The boards attempt to ram no.
strike bill through the legislature
has brought contemporaries for
conciliation and fact-finding mach
inery to settle disputes involving|
public employees. Middle-of- -the-road
elements in the legislature seek al
compromise which would prohibitl
such strikes, but would set up con-
ciliation and arbitration machinery
to protect employees from economy-I
public bodies. (The Mime
apolis city council has limited raisesl
to 3 percent, and those only for the |
higher brackets, for city workers.
The school strike has the sup-I
port of the AFL Central Labor
Union.

Hearings Delayed
Four Months On
Toll Call Cuts

Washington (LPA)-There's M
possibility that you'll be able t.
make cheaper long distance tele
phone calls before mid summer.
The F d eral Communication
Commission has given the Ameri
can Telephone & Telegraph Co
and % associated companies of the
Bell System four more months tt
explain why interstate telephone
rates shouldn't be cut.
On Jan. 10, FEC ordered The
companies to show cause by Marcf
% why an interim slice couldn'r
be made in long distance charges
That date is now July 16. Hear
ings, scheduled to start April 16
have been moved to Aug. 20.
The January order was ISSUED
because Bells 1850 earnings "gavt
indications" of going over Z per.
cent, after taxes, and also gave in
dications that "the level of earn
ings is on the upward trend"
Since then there have been many
attacks against the FEC move. One
of them, by Sen. Ernest w. Nc
Farland Cd, Ariz.), said long dis
tance calls-over "a miles-were
made by big business which is able
to pay the higher costs. Mcfarland
also claimed that cuts in interstate
calls made local calls cost more.
In Feb. IA letter to Mcfarland,
FEC said that only half the revenue
came from business (both large and
small) while home and public tele-
phones accounted for the other
half. 1t also said zone of the OBJ
jectives of the commission over the
years has been to take interstate
long distance out of the luxury
class"
As to local rates remaining high
because companies made them bear
the brunt of long distance cuts,
FEC said any action it takes is
based on the amount of profit COM
panies make on the book value of
used for long distance
calls.
The Commission said the eight
cuts in rates it had ordered be-
tween 1886 and 1916 saved users
more than $200,000,000 every year
"a total of almost So billion. An
other reason given for making the
cuts is the decline in operating and
costs. In 1943 the
cost was $109 mile-in 1850 il
had declined to $50 compared to a
decline in local line cost during the
same period from $134 to $120.
FEC intimated that local and
ong distance services were sep
arate and the users of each should
Dear their fair share and not look
TO the other to equalize costs. It'll
pointed out that there had beenl
no significant increases" in local
charges as a result Of the eight re-
iuctions in out-of- state calls.
During the four-month postpone
nent, FEC will get together with
he National Association of Rail-
'oad and Utilities Commissioners
o see if they can work out a
method of ironing out disparitiesI
between interstate and in-state
alls.

2 More Senators
Tee Off On Biz
Wind Mccarthy

Washington (LPA)-Two more
Senators have spoken out against
Sen. Joseph R. Mccarthy the COP
big wind from Wisconsin. Exactly
year after Mccarthy made his
original charges, Sens. Harley M
Kilgore I'd, w. Va.) and Hubert
M. Humphrey Cd, Minn.) challeng-
ed Mccarthy to prove there are
Communists in the State Depart
ment.
Humphrey pointed out that Nc
Carthy's smear campaign has
spread fear and suspicion and 1.-The
greatest tragedy to befall this ma
tion would be to undermine the
faith of the people in the repre-
sentative form of government"
Mccarthy, speaking at Wheeling,
w. Va, Feb. II, 1850, said there
were 205 Communists in the State
Department. Later Mccarthy de-
MED he gave that figure, only to
be refuted by recording of his
broadcast. He changed the figure
later to 81, then to less, but in the
process set off a wave of hysteria
and witch hunting.
Said Kilgore: at doesn't really
matter whether he meant 205 or
81. But for the past year, these
whirlpools of charges have spread
flood of confusion across the ma
tion. What are the names of these
individuals who were Communists
year ago."
In reply to a question from Sen.
Herbert Lehman Cd, NY), Kilgore
said a Senate committee which
looked into McCarthy's charges
was unable to find a single Com
munist on the payroll of the State
Department.
The same day President Truman
inducted his Commission On Inter
nal Security and Individual Rights,
with Adm. Chester w. Nimitz as
chairman. Truman said, "We want
the job done in a manner that will
avoid witch hunting and get US the
facts" He was referring to the
check the Commission will make
on the loyalty program covering
federal employees.
At the same time Truman sub
mitted to the Senate the nomina-
tions of the Subversive Activities
Control Board, set up under the
McCarren Act. The Senate Judici-
ary Committee is expected to hold
public hearings, and Seth w. Rich
ardson, Republican nominated to|
head the Board, is expected tol
have rough time. Sen. Pat Mel
Carran Cd, New himself said hel
has heard "very serious objections"
to some of the nominees. The board
must decide which groups must
register as subversives. McCarranI
is Judiciary chairman.
The Nimitz commission, which
will have access to FBI files, is tol

the laws, practices and procedures

nation against treason, espionage,
sabotage and other 'subversive ac-
tivities, and of the operation of and

Bod Connections In Labor
Relations Of Bell System

Washington (LPA) - The Bell
System is mighty efficient when it
zones to getting your phone call
Uhrough, but produces bad snags
and long delays when it comes to
talk with the union.
That is the gist of a report just
issued by the Senate Labor Com
mittee on labor relations in the
telephone industry. "Bad labor
management relations exist in the
Bell Telephone System" the report
said. 'These relations appear to be
getting worse. Strikes and threats
of strikes are becoming more fire.
quent."
The Senators support the posi-
tion of the Communication Work
ers, that the problem cannot be
solved until American Telephone &
Telegraph Co., the giant monopoly
controlling the system, agrees to
bargain on a nationwide basis.
Trouble at present, they said,
revolves around "the inability of
the unions to bargain at a level of
management which possesses the
responsibility and authority to
make final decisions" They are not
impressed, they said, with the
claims of management that bar
gaining can be more effective on
the departmental level.
Sen. Robert Taft Or, Ohio) is
preparing a minority report on the
testimony at hearings held by the
Senate Subcommittee on Labor
Management Relations.
. The Committee believes that
'YAT&T should do the bargaining
with the unions on national issues
as wages and pensions which ex-
tend beyond any departmental or
associated company bargaining
unit"
1t suggested changes in the Taft
Hartley act, based on evidence sub
mitted at the hearings. One of
these changes, drawn up by CWA,
would redefine the term employ
er" to include any person who con-
trolls the labor policies of COM
pany through stock ownership.
AT&T controls 80 to 100 percent
of the stock of it's affiliated COM
panies, and yet refuses to bargain
on nationwide basis. The report
showed how, instead, it uses this
control to stall local bargaining de-
cisions.
zone of the greatest contribut-
ing factors to the existence of bad
labor-management relations in the
Bell System was shown in the
hearings to be the Illustration that
has resulted from the long, drawn
out bargaining negotiations that
now take place on the local de-
partmental and company levels"
the report said. Negotiations last
six or seven months, or even two
years.
Before the Taft Hartley Act was
passed, the National Labor Rela-
Stions Board could investigate these
situations and determine whether
the parties were bargaining in good
faith, it pointed out. But, under
section (d) of the act, neither
