session of the 86th Congress,
And" he continued, ~ look
forward to further helpful
support from Mr.. Franks as
well as from great numbers of
rank-and-file union members"
Earlier in the second session
of the 85th Congress, Senator
Karl E. Mundt (Rep., S. Dak.),
a member of the Mcclellan
Committee, introduced legisla-
ton to effect the secret union
ballot. Senator Mundt, like
Representative Kearns, paid
tribute to Mr.. Franks for his
cooperation and support. Tes-
tifying before a Senate Labor
Subcommittee, the South Dak-
otan said:
This is a bill designed by
me with the cooperation and
support of Mr.. Maurice R.
Franks, a thoughtful and in
formed student of the Ameri-
can labor movement for Is
years, former union official,
and currently President of the
National Labor Movement
Foundation. This bill will, l be-
heve, guarantee to the union
member the democratic right
to participation in the admin
istration of his own union
through providing that a de-
pendable secret ballot will be
used in the election of union
officers, and in the authorize
ton of union strikes in labor
management disputes"
Commenting further on the
stalemate in needed labor re-
form legislation, Mr.. Franks
said that he and his organiZa-
ton will continue their efforts

CONGRESS- FAILURE
By George Peek

The defeat of the Kennedy
Ives Bill in the House of Rep
resentatiVes sounded the death
knell of the hope that the 85th
Congress would enact legisla-
tlon to eliminate racketeering
IN labor unions. In the opinion
of this columnist the Congress
acted wisely in turning thumbs
down on a bill which would
have fallen far short of bring
ing about reforms in labor leg
iSlation that the hearings be-
fore the Mcclellan Committee
have revealed are essential,
not only for the welfare of the
general public, but of union
members themselves.
On the other hand the
KearnS Labor Reform Bill,
H.R. 1879, upon which the
Congress failed to act, would
have accomplished the desired
cleansing result. My associate,
Maurice R. Franks, President
of The National Labor Manage
melt Foundation, has describ-
ed this failure of Congress as
being akin to tragedy.
"Interment of the measure
authored by Representative
Carroll D. Kearns (Rep., Pa.)
is almost tragic" Mr.. Franks
declared, adding that the cause
of honest unionism has suffer-
ed a setback that will enable
the racketeers and gangsters to
suly further the trade union
movement to the detriment of
the rank-and-file membership
ana to the national economy.
While the Kesrns Bill par
alleied the Kennedy-Ives mea-

sure in many respects, it was
endowed with greater correc-
tive strength because it pro-
vided for compulsory secret
balloting in the election of
labor union officers.
Franks, former labor union
official and for 25 years close
student of labor-management
problems, declared that revela-
tions by the Select Senate
(McClellan) Committee on I'm
proper Activities on Labor and
Management have clearly de-
monstrated that d IS h one t
labor leadership could not ex-
ist if union members were
armed with the democratic
secret ballot in their choice of
officers.
81 consider a truly secret
ballot" Franks asserts, highly
essential to the welfare of the
individual union member. 1t
cannot cure all of organized
labor's present ills, but it
would be forward step to-
ward getting rid of the kind of
leadership being exposed by
the Mcclellan Committee"
When asked for his opinion
of the foregoing Franks state
ment, Representative Kearns
said he was "in complete agree
ment," adding that he had en-
joyed the wholehearted CO.
operation and support of Mr..
Franks in preparing the secret
ballot provision of the bill.
Congressman Kearns natur-
ally was disappointed in the
House Labor Committees fail
ure to send his measure to the
floor, but declares he will re-
introduce it early in the first

The merits of what Congress
has done since January will be
argued up and down the nation
for some time. However, the
statistics of its proceedings are
on the record and they are i'm
pressive. Washington is a city of
big numbers and the final ses-
sion of the 85th Congress is no
exception to what seems to be
an inescapable rule.
In its l,577 hours of delibera-
ton, the Senate and the House
of Representatives enacted 444
new laws with many other bills
approved still awaiting the Presi-
dents decision at this writing.
These ape the products of 1873
days work in the Senate and 1876
days in the House. A total of 284
private bills for the relief of
individuals were also enacted
Although the final count is not
yet possible, the President
vetoed IA bills this year against
II last year. None of the vetoed
bills were overriden, retaining
President Eisenhower's remark
able record Of no acts of Con-
gress going into the law books
where his disapproval has been
sufficiently strong to result in q
veto.

an ancient Ohio statute prohibits

the other and provides heavy
penalty for so doing.
OF late have you noticed great
interruption in your radio recep-
ton? At times even a single
word from the broadcaster was
broken squarely in two; at other
times the power came on with
such force as to raise the hair
on a baldheaded listener. No, it
wasn't any fault with the instru-
ment; in all probability the
trouble was the afterclap result
ing from atomic explosions
throughout the world that caused
disruption of atmospheric con-
ditions everywhere. Of course,
scientists on government payroll
will deny such an insinuation
which hight be correct, after all.
Seemingly it is but little less
than damphoolishness to spend
lavishly American money, es-
pecially when our national debt
has reached by far the highest
point in the nations history, the
giganticism of $3.50 billion dol
lars, in attempting to reach the
moon or encircling Queen Lena.
1t would be far better to use
the dough" thus spent in the
interest and direct benefit of our
own needy people. There ap-
pears to be only one remedy left:
That by the voters at some near
by coming election. Shall we
have it? Never attach the sins Of
others to the innocent.
There are yet a number Of The
older residents in this area who
well remember when the rail
road cut in the western part of
Caldwell was handmade in the
latter part of the 1905. The dirt
removed was used in building
the long embankment south OF
the present depot. One OF the
| laborers at the time was Frank
| Frye, father of Mrs Otto ]
Lorenz and Mrs. Henry Bond
both of Caldwell, who among
others was imported from Ger
many. Mr. Frye was SO pleased
with this territory that he re-
mained here and in many later
years became one of this sections
most widely known painters
Many years later the cut was
Widened from Main street tC
near Mills street to accommodate
sidetracks on each side of the
main line. The earth removed
therefrom was used in Filling
underneath three large railroad
trestles north of Caldwell.
In the Frye family there i!
another daughter, Hattie, nov
making her home in an Odd Eel
low institution at Springfield
Ohio; four yet living sons, Char
les, of Cleveland, George, o
| Caldwell, and Ray and Howard
of GAINESVILLE. Three deceased
sons were William, Louis AM
Frederick. The late DR.. o. Q
Mckee and Mr.. Frye were EN-
ployed together on the construc
ton of the cut and Friendship
formed between them continues
throughout the remainder o
their lives. The original heav,
grade through the cut was great
ly reduced later.
