Steel Price Demands
And Taft-HartIey Act
:
Denounced by Union
By the Assoeiated Press

PHILADELPHIA. May 13.-The
CIO-United Steelworkers Union
today charged that the steel in
dustry has refused to sign a new
contract with what the union
terms an adequate wage increase
because Of:
/. The industry's "insistence on
an inf1atlonary and undeserved
price increase"
2. The Taft-Hartley law. .
The charges were embodied in a
detailed 88-page report presented
by the unions officers at the OPEN
ing of the sixth (bienniaD consti-
tutional convention. Approxi-
mately 5000 delegates represent
ing 1,079,703 steelworkers are here
for the five-day policymaking
meeting.
Labor Act Assailed.
Nearly one-f1fth Of the report
dealt with the Taft-Hartley Act
and how 1t has operated to stifie
1abor's rights" as the union put it.
In the report, Philip Murray,
Steelworkers' president and ma
tional CIO head, and other union
officials strongly attacked the
Taft-Hartley Act.
United States Steel and other
companies were encouraged to
stall in the negotiations because
they felt that the President would
be forced to invoke a.Taft-Hartley
injunction against the union and
prevent the union from striking
for 80 days . -" he said.
Even though it was not in
voked, the possibility of a Taft
Hartley injunction played an i'm
portant role in squirting on the
steel companies to defy their legal
obligation to bargain honestly
with the union.
Seek Repeal of Act.
Mr.. Murray asserted that "re-
peal OF the Taft Hartley Act is
one of the top priority goals of
the iSteelworkers and of all Or
ganized labor"
Concerning the demand by the
steel industry for a price increase,
the officers report stated:
THE industry demanded a
price increase in excess of the
amount to which it was entitled
under the law, and which would
have destroyed the price stabili-
Sation program, as a prelude to
making any offer to the union" "
The report omitted any specific
mention of Federal seizure of the
steel industry. Mr.. Murray pub
Hcly has taken the stand that the
legality of seizure is now before
the Supreme Court and that any
comment would be presumptious.
However. it is believed certain
that the convention will discuss
fully the present circumstances
surrounding the unions effort to
win wage and other contract bene-
hts. from the Nations steelmakers.

Senator KEN, Republican, of
Missouri today called on Secretary
|of Agriculture Brannan. to resign.
Senator KEN accused Secretary
Brannan of attempting to hood
wink the public and conceal the
unsavory conditions existing in
his department."
The Senate Agriculture Com
mittee for two months has been
holding public hearings on ad-
ministratiMl of the farm program.
1.-THE startling revelations of the
Agriculture Committee" Senator
KEN said, 'have made people
everywhere IN, this country lose
confidence in Brannan and his
administration of the farm pro-
gram.
"His conduct has given the farm
program an undeserved black eye.
He should Immediately tender his
resignation to President Truman"
Grain Thefts Publicized.
The committee has publicized a
number of cases in which ware
housemen stole grain they were
storing for the Agriculture De-
Ipartment. Other irregularities
included a leak of military secrets
and bribery and kick-backs from
warehousemen getting Govern
ment contracts.
Department policy was to per-
NIT the crooks to make up their
shortages in stored
Igrain and keep the public in ig-
norance of this widespread cor
Iruption," Senator KEN said.

defenses of the free world
against aggression. Gen. Gruen-
ther presented to you in March
some of the major elements of
the proposed aid program as
they relate to this command.
First, I should make it COM
pletely clear, as Gen. Gruenther
reported to you, that my head
quarters does not prepare finan-
cial and material programs. The
programs we prepare are in
terms of military forces re-
quired for the defense of West
ern Europe. 1t is our task to
recommend programs for this
buildup at the maximum rate
consistent with manpoWer,
training and mobilization ca
pacities in this area. These are
in turn the basis for the calcu-
lation by the responsible United
States agencies of the detailed
materiel and financial recon-
mendations. Accordingly, we
are in position to comment much
more directly on the military
force requirements and buildup
programs in Western Europe
than on specific sums of money.
Specifically, the responsible
United States agencies utilized
our reported force requirements
as the basis for the end item and
defense support program for the
European area which they pre-
Sented to the Congress as part
of the $7.9 billion proposal.
