1866 when it was organized to
prevent Negroes from voting at

until 1873, when the worst davs of
Reconstruction were over and the

reappeared in 1915. CThis was the

Roman Catholics and Jews, and

What the public thought of the

by the courageous editor of the

Bert STUDY, who wrote an edi-
torial entitled "Sad Spot for
Macon" in which he said:
THE Klan demonstration in
Macon last night was a sorry
spectacle. It focused the eyes of
the nation on our community as
the locale in which was exhibited
an unwanted display of race and
religious hate-the kind of situa-
tion which spreads its venom of
the most dangerous sort into the
minds and hearts Of those who
listen. Our civic and religious

About 8 p. M, after approxim-
ately one hundred men and wom-

meeting began. A twelve-foot

approved by the House in slightly

After veto of the previous bill,
Secretary of Agriculture Benson
announced a new and special
support Of SIPS a bushel for
commercial corn farmers who
ignored planting controls this
year.
The Senate committee voted
the same treatment for all other
corn farmers as well as produc-
ers of the other feed grains this
year. And for next year it fixed
supports for them at near the
level of commercial corn.
See Feed Costs Raised
The Senate minority said this
would boost feed costs for dairy,
livestock and poultry farmers.
Most livestock and poultry
farmers have refused Govern
ment price supports and opposed
control and benefit programs
The minority report said of the
feed grain provision:
"The Government should be
thankful that livestock and poul-
try producers are not seeking
price supports. Their self-reli-
ance should not be penalized by
Government shifting to them

BY JOSEPH YOUNG

The administration is expected
to oppose the bill to afford of.
Ificial recognition to Federal EN-.
ploye unions when the Senate
Civil Service Committee start:
hearings Tuesday.
The bill is sponsored by Chair
man Johnston of the committee
and is strongly supported BY
Federal employe groups.
To rally support for the meas
ure, the AFL-CIO Government
Employees Council, with union.
representing a combined mem.
bership of more than 100000
Federal employees. is holding &
Legislative rally tomorrow through
Wednesday.
Hundreds of local Federal EN-.
Iploye leaders from all parts o.
the country are expected to con.
verge on Washington for the
conference. A mass rally will bt
held tomorrow at the Commerce
Department auditorium and thu
unionists will then spend thu
next two days button-holing theil
Representatives and Senators
and asking their support for the
measure. The conference will bt
concluded with a mass meeting
Wednesday night in the Letter
Carriers Building.
The administration is expected
to oppose the measure on the
grounds that it is not necessary
and that Federal employee union.
already have the right to dea
with agencies on personnel mat.
tiers and grievances.
Deal With Unions
The bill would require Federal
agencies, with the exception oil
the FBI, Atomic Energy Com
mission and several other sensi-
tive units, to deal officially with
employe unions. The agencies
would be required to deal with
unions on all personnel policy
matters and employee grievances
Federal officials who refused to
deal with the unions would be
subject to dismissal. The meas
ure also would set up grievance
boards in all agencies, composed
OF three members-union and
management representatives and
a chairman to be selected by the
Civil Service Commission. These
boards would adjust employe
grievances and union manage.
Iment differences on various per.
sonnet matters.
Government employee leaders
declare the bill is vitality needed
Government employee unions al
ready are very powerful on Capt.
tol Hill in lobbying for employe
legislation and benefits. In fact
many Capitol Hill observers call
the Federal employe groups
particularly the postal organiza-
tions-the most powerful lobby
lists in Congress.
AS an example, the employe
groups accomplished the practi-
Ically unheard of feat of two
years in row successfully dis

Opposition Expected

charging pay-raise bills from the
powerful House Rules Committee
which had been holding up the
legislation. On both occasions
this involved getting the sigma
lures of more than one-half OF
the members of the House and
this was done without much diff
If1culty.
Much Different
However, employe leaders say
that the situation is much differ
ent when it comes to dealing
with Federal agencies on en-
Iploye grievances and other per-
sonnet matters.
While some agencies-perhaps
the majority of them-do deal
unofticially with employee unions,
others do not. The postal unions
are critical Of many phases OF
postal employee relations and
want more authority in dealing
with the Post Office Department
Postal officials say they do con-
suit with the unions on various
personnel problems, but the
unions feel this arrangement
does not extend far enough.
Employe leaders point to the
fact that Government workers
are not allowed to strike. They
do not quarrel with this restric-
tion-in fact they support it
However, in return for not hav-
ing this right. agencies should
be required to deal with unions
on an official basis on all phases
Iof personnel matters, the unions
contend.
The administrators opposi-
ton to such legislation follows
the same position taken by the
Truman administration. The
Truman administration opposed
a similar measure in 1852. At
that time, the House Civil Serv-
ice Committee approved the
measure. The only dissenter
was Representative Murray,
Democrat of Tennessee, who was
and again is chairman of the
group. The bill did not advance
any further and never came up
for House action.
Officials Hampered
Administration officials declare
that a formal system of dealing
with employe unions would
hamper agency officials and
cause unnecessary administra-
tive delay and confusion. They
point out that there are many
Federal unions. some of them in
competition with one another
Agency officials would face a
difficult if not impossible task
in trying to decide which groups
should represent the employees
in an agency.
While they don't say so pub
licly. Federal employee leaders
feel that enactment of such a
bill would boost the prestige of
unionism in Government ire
mendously and would aid in
their membership growth.
It's estimated that about 80
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-05-13

per cent Of the 100000 postal
workers are organized. How
ever. only about IS per cent
of the classified workers belong
to unions. The largest Of these
are the American Federation of
Government Employees and the
National Federation of Federal
Employees. Each of the unions
claim a membership of about
100000. Both the Age and the
NFFE carry a lot of weight on
Capitol Hill and enjoy friendly
cooperation with a good many
of the agencies. However, official
sanction by law to deal with
agencies would prove a powerful
stimulant in enlisting new men,
bers, union officials feel.
