Columbus, Ohio (AFLWN8).—Meet-
ing for the first time since 1942, the
Order of Railroad Telegraphers heard
reports of steady and significant
progress despite great handicaps im-
posed by the war. President V. O.
Gardner was prepared to report a
healthy gain in membership—some 16
per cent since the last convention,
largest than at any time since 1920.
Wages of telegraphers, it was re-
vealed, are at an all-time peak. Dur-
ing the last four years the Income of
telegraphers in the United States has
risen 25 cents an hour and In Canada
192.41 a month. These wages, how-
ever, are still too low compared to
earnings by other comparable skills.
Mr. Gardner believes. More than 500
delegates from all sections of the
United States. Canada. Newfound-
land and the Canal Zone reported for
the sessions.
The writer of this column wants
to throw a bouquet to the member-
ship of Dallas Typographical Union
No. 179 for its grand response to ths
annual contributions received for the
Union Printers Home Endowment.
The resolution for the endowment,
passed by the 1936 International
Typographical Convention has grown
and grown until thousands of con-
tributory are recorded annually. Fifty
cents was asked from the members,
annually, toward the endowment, but
members who have been to the Home
and receive its bounty without price
usually contribute more. No. 179 re-
ceived contributions this year from
50 cents to 95. Thank you in the name
of this great Institution. Every chair-
man of a chapel of No. 173 did a good
job.

Washington. D. C. (AFLWNS) —
Following is a summary of the Gov-
ernment draft-labor bill adopted by
the House upon request of President
Truman:
1. —-It specifies the President may
proclaim a national emergency- at any-
time an interruption occurs in oper-
ation of any facility he deems "vitally
necessary” to maintenance of the na-
tional economy.
2. —It gives the President power to
draft into the armed forces within
24 hours of issuance of such a proc-
lamation any individuals necessary to
run such strike-bound plants during
the existence of such an emergency.
3. —It takes away the seniority and
re-employment rights of any work-
ers refusing to work for [he Govern-
ment under such a proclamation.
4. —It makes labor officials subject
to fine and imprisonment if they do
anything to prevent resumption of
work at Government-operated plants
during the emergency.
5. —It gives the Federal courts au-
thority to issue injunction against
unions and to prohibit Interference
with the Federal operation.
I President Truman advised Congress
against enactment of hasty legisla-
tion penalizing labor and proposed a
aix-months study, by a joint Congres-
sional committee, of legislative pro-
posals to improve labor relations.
Repudiating this advice, the Senate,
within a few hours, adopted drastic
amendments to the House-approved
Case Bill, foremost among which were
the following:
1.—Imposition of a cooling off pe-
riod of 60 days in private industries
and 65 days In utilities, during which
mediation would be attempted.
2—A prohibition agalnM “secondary
boycotts.’’
3. —Authorization for suits against
unions for damages and to compel
complinace.
4. —Adoption of the so-called “anti-
racketeering" provisions of the Hobbs
Bill, twice passed by the House.
*5.—Imposition of a strict prohibi-
tion against exclusive union control
of employe welfare funds.
President Truman, in his address
to Congress, declared he was “most
anxious” that nothing be done “to
injure the cause of labor” and that
"we must protect the workers whom
we ask to remain on their jobs.” He
emphasized that "the general right
J of workers to strike against private
employers must be preserved" but said
he believed the time had come for a
new study “of the whole subject of
labor relations."
Washington. D. C. (AFLWNS).—
AFL President William Green, ad-
dressing the opening session of the

Progressive ticket lead by President
Randolph can be generally attributed
to his colorful and astute leadership,
his unyielding devotion to the cause
. standards obtained for rank and file
members, and his unparalleled suc-
icess in resisting every effort of those
employers who fought the union, and
government officials whose decision
appeared to be inspired by political
support expected of dally newspaper
publishers in whose behalf their de-
cisions were often made.
Re-elected as the same time, and
with almost equally high majorities
were other candidates on the Pro-
gressive slate. The votes as tabulated

St Paul, Minn (AFLWNS).—Con-
demning President Truman's “emer-
gency" labor legislation program as
“totalitarian In its nature,” Harold
E. Stassen, former Governor of Min-
nesota, wired Senator Wheeler (D.)
of Montana taking sharp issue with
the proposal.
Stassen charged the President's
proposals go tar beyond the needs of
the situstion and would grant powers
“more extreme than ever before’
granted to the Government in either
time of war olr peace.”
“It includes the compulsory power
to fix wages without the consent of
management or labor, to confiscate
profits and to force Involuntary servi-
tude of labor.” be said. "It would
permit Government to break and de-
stroy any management and business.
It would .permit Government to break
and destroy any union.
“It Is fundamentally contrary to
our free way of life as to both man-
agement and labor. It is not a ques-
tion of whether or not we believe that
any particular adminlirtratlon , will
abuse its powers. It is a fundamen-
tal vital concept that overnment
should never be given such unrea-
* sonable or excessive powers over an
individual citizen, or over his bust-
neirs or property, without due process.
“It is not necessary legislation and
will not in the long view correct the
labor-management situation in the
country. The present emergencies
can be resolved by an Intelligent use
of present powers which are still on
■uu> iuv Aiuoncau mwr a WBrtftne basis; and an essential new
10 iterating the stand of long-term labor policy, balanced, mod-
erate. Just and consistent with our
basic principles should be enacted at
eq early date.”

Delegates of the Central Labor
Council called a caucus of
North Texas delegates to the
Texas State Federation of La-
bor in Dallas last Sunday and
it was well attended. Wallace
Reilly was elected chairman
of the caucus and Mrs. Char-
lotte Morgan was selected as
secretary. Several delegates
from Fort Worth attended and
told the delegates that their
city had agreed to go along
with Dallas program. After
stating the purpose of the meet-
ing and listening to various
delegates, the caucus went on
record, as follows: Dallas will
make a strong bid for the 1947
convention of the Federation;
endorsed John Hays for re-
election as vice president from
this district; appointed D. M.
Committee, as chairman of the
entertainment and refreshment
committee. The caucus made
it plain that this was the only
program in which they were in-
terested,-but would assist the
administration of the Federa-
tion in setting up a worthwhile
program for the coming year.

The Beer Situation Is So Se-
rious and legitimate outlets are
finding it so difficult to secure
enough to serve their patrons
that they have taken the mat-
ter into their own hands. The
first step was a series of meet-
ings of beer retailers and the
outgrowth has been the organ-
ization of the Cafe and Tavern
Association of Dallas. The
real purpose is to find out
where the beer is going; wheth-
er the “black market” is the
real distributor; to fight the
efforts of those who wish to
take advantage of the present
situation to start another “Dry
Campaign.” *
Miss Emily Jordan, Fritx Ca-
dena and Harry Carroll were
visitors to Dallas this past
week. They represent their in-

wanted to find out what Dallas
wanted in the coming conven-
tion of the American Federa-
tion of Labor. After learning
that Dallas wanted the next
convention and John Hays re-
his organization and other
branches of labor well. His
many friends mourn his pass-
ing, knowing his place will be

has been entitled to the pension for
many years, but rays he feels as
young as he did when 30 years old,
so why quit work. The writer has
known Tinney over 30 years and ex-
cept for a head of black hair, he looks
the same. Glad to see you. brother,

Washington. D. C. (AFLWNS).—
Congress, relieved by the termination
of the coal strike, is preparing to
throw the President’s draft-labor bill
overboard.
Overwhelming opposition developed
in the Senate against the extreme
proposals in the White House bill.
As this edition went to press, the
Senate was preparing to vote on an
amendment to strike out the section
of the measure which would authorize
the President to draft strikers into
the armed forces. Advance polls taken
by the Associated Press and by AFL
representatives indicated this pro-
vision would be killed.
Strong pressure was brought to
bear upon the White House to with-
draw the entire bill, but this was un-
availing. The Senate, after limiting
debate. Intends to remain in session
over the Memorial Day Holiday in the
hope of acting on a long list of pro-

Indianapolis, Ind., June 3 —The en-
tire Executive Council, headed by
Woodruff Randolph, President of the
International Typographical Union
tor the past two years, has been re-
flected by referendum vote of union
members in the United States and >
Canada. Present officers were not
■>nly re-elected by the largest major-
ity of votes ever recorded in the his-
tory of the oldest labor union in
America, but the election turned out
more voters than at any other time in
its existence as an international un-
ion.
Ix*d by President Woodruff Ran-
dolph (Chicago) the ITU Executive
Council in the past two years suc-
ceasfully challenged the right of the
National War Labor Board to order
Its laws subjected to compulsory ar-
bitration and with equal success de-
feated efforts of the American News-
paper Publishers Association (The
Newspaper Publishers’ Union) to pre-
vent recognition of ITU law# as a
basic requirement for the employment
of ITU members in newspaper com-
posing rooms throughout the United
States.
President Randolph, for sixteen
years ITU Secretary-Treasurer, suc-
ceeded former President Claude M.
Baker to the presidency of the power-
ful ITU in 1944. His decision to run
for office as president came as the
result of irreconcilable differences
with the Baker administration on

Truman to ask for the resignation of

advocate the virtual enslavement of
American workers at jobs in private
industry denying them the right to
strike against injustice Is inexcus-
able.” the Council declared.

promptly rejected such a Communist-
Fascist doctrine."
