.CI0 Leader Attacks
Bid 10 Give States
More Labor Power
BY the Associated Press

A CLIO leader said today Presi-
dent Eisenhower's proposal to
give the States more say in
handling labor disputes actually
is aimed at empowering them to
regulate "all phases Of collective
bargaining"
And the power to regulate Is
tantamount to the power to
prohibit" said Joseph A. Beirne,
president of the CLIO Commune
cations Workers Union, in a
statement for a Senate Labor
Committee hearing on the Presi-
dents 14-point program to revise
the Taft-Hartley Act.
Included in Message.
In his labor message to Con-
gress January II, the President
said the act should make clear
that the States are free to act
in emergencies endangering the
health or safety of their citizens.
The President explained that
Qualification of this point is
needed because of a recent Su-
preme Court decision that a
State court could not act in a
dispute over which Federal law
gave the National Labor Rela-
tons Board jurisdiction.
Calls Move Unnecessary.
But Mr.. Beirne said such a
provision would be unnecessary,
since he commended States have
always had the power to pro-
tect the health and safety Of
their citizens"
This provision would not be
used to protect the health and
safety of citizens" Mr.. Beir-e
declared. 1T would be used to
deprive employees of their right
to engage in collective activities
Of every kind"
He said the real purpose" be.
hind this proposal is ito abdi-
cate Federal responsibility to the
States"

This led to speculation that
the missing money was taken
on December 81. That was a
day on which only about one
half Of the normal packaging
was done. The normal load is
1000 packages a day in this
division.
Mr.. Holtzclaw admitted that
during the Christmas and New
Year holiday season the bu-
reau's ordinarily tight restric-
| tions against the carrying of
packages from the building were
"cuStomarily somewhat re-
laxed."
Ordinarily, a person leaving
the bureau with a package must
take it to a special booth, where
1t Is unwrapped. There the con-
tents are examined before be-

Security Measures Relaxed.
On the year-end holidays, Mr.
Holtzclaw said, the number of
packages taken from the build

that division supervisors were
allowed to approve them, affix-
