WISCONSIN COP VOTES BAN ON
POLITICAL SPENDING BY UNIONS

MADISON, Wis (ALFNS1-Wis
consin Republicans forged neat sci
of political handouts for organized
labor in brazen attempt to win the
vital 1856 elections.
With COP leaders threatening al
out retaliation for members bolting
the party position, the assembly
whipped through a bill barring direct
political action by labor unions in
state elections.
The vote was 50 to 35, with the
majority soIidly Republican and the
minority all Democratic. Eleven
assembly members were absent, all
Republicans.
The measure moves over to the
senate where a large Republican ma
jority is expected to speed it along
to Governor Walter j. Kohler for al
most certain signature.
THE measure has since passed the
senate, 28-9, following prolonged de-
bate by the eight Democratic mem
bers of the upper house to kill the
The bill would apply to state politi-
cal campaigns the same restrictions
contained in the Taft-Hartley act on
union political action in federal cam
paigns. Contributions and direct ac-
tion by labor groups would be for
bidden.
The measure as originally intro
duced by House Speaker Mark Catlin,
was a sweeping ban on every type of
political activity by unions. He agreed
to some slight amendments but hung
onto the essential curDs in the original
measure.
After a period of several weeks
during which the bill was buried in
committee, Catlin and the COP de-
cided to move. They whipped it
through committee in record time
and brought it to the floor.
A caucus of all Republican MEM
bers was called and members
warned to support the bill as a
party measure or face possible ex-
pulsion and other forms of retalia-
ton.
The bill was introduced against an
interesting background of state poll
tics. The Democrats have long been a

Packinghouse Unions
To Negotiate Jointly

CHICAGO-The Go and AFL
Packinghouse Unions, which together
represent some 100000 packinghouse
workers, will seek a general pay raise
this fell in coordination, it was an
nounced.
The exact demand was not speci-
fled. The talks come about under a
wage opening clause in the contracts
as of Sept, /.
Last September, both unions won
hourly wage hikes of five cents plus
fringe benefits amounting to two
to three cents an hour.
The average hourly wage in the
industry is $187, the union leaders
said.

minority group in the state; only
three times in the last SO elections
have Wisconsin voters elected a DEM
ocratic governor.
In 1854. however, Democratic can
didate William Proxmire came within
$4,000 votes of defeating Governor
Kohler.
Also in 1854, Democratic spending
got into sizeable figures allowing
them to put on a real statewide cam
paign. Labor generally supported
Democrats, bringing on the Catlin
ban bill to assure Republicans clear
field in 1856.
Republican National Committee
man Henry Ringling endorsed the
Catlin bill, giving further political
coloration to the measure. Catlin per-
sonally is reported interested in MAX
ing the u. S. Senate race in 1856. If
the bill passes the legislature and is
signed at the present session it would
bar labor contributions next year
when Catlin may seek office.
The bill, as passed in the assem-
bly,, says that no union or labor orr
ganization shall contribute any
money or thing of value, directly or
indirectly, to any political party,
political organization, political COM
mittee or individual candidate for
any political purpose whatsoever,
or to promote or defeat the candi-
dacy of any person for nomination
or election to any political office"
1t would bar parties or organiza-
tions from accepting or receiving
any contribution prohibited by the
above section and calls for fines
of from $1oo to $4,000 and one to
five years in prison.
Violation by union representative,
under the bill, could be taken as
prima facie evidence of violation by
the union itself, opening the door to
further prosecution.

Recently a Montgomery Coun-
ty man who is a bleeder needed
blood after an accident. When his
friends went to the hospital to
give their blood they were refus-

Red Cross previously it would
have been ready for their friend.
Blood on reserve at a time of ac-
cident is insurance.
