SECURITY DELAY
Ways and Means Group
Blamed for Failure to
Strengthen Act.
Blame for failure to strengthen the
social security act at the present ses
sion of Congress is ! id on the Ways
and Means Committee by Representa
tive Treadway. Republican, of Mas
sachusetts. ranking minority mem
ber. He discloses that the movement
for modification of the social security
act is being sponsored by Republicans.
The "verbal spanking' of the Social
Security Board by a secret session of
Democratic members of the House
committee for having co-operated in
appointment of an investigating com
mission to study certain proposed
changes in the act. prompted Repre
sentative Treadway to censure these
Democratic members for "ignoring"
the Republican minority. He charges
that "they consistently ignore the
rights of the Republican minority to j
be ffresent at meetings of the com
mittee at which matters of policy are
determined." He complains that “our
only function seems to be to meet with
the full committee when the action
of the Democratic majority, as de
termined in secret caucus, is to be
formally ratified."
Regarding the study of changes in
the social security act, Treadway ac
cuses the House committee of being
"content to wait for orders to proceed
from the White House.” He argues
that the House committee 'could easily
have begun a study of proposed
amendments to the social security act
the first day of Congress, and con
tinued almost without interruption,
as little important work has been done
since the session opened. ‘‘The Social
Security Board came before the com
mittee last year,” he said, “with a long
list of proposed amendments, but it
was too late in the session for any
action. They could nave been resub
mitted at the beginning of the present
session. The failure of the board to
come forward with recommendations
does not relieve the Ways and Means
Committee from the responsibility of
asking for such recommendations.”

ANTI C. I. 0. DRIVE
PLANNED BY A. F. L.
Counter-Offensive to Enroll South
ern Textile Labor Is
Announced.
Bj the Associated Press.
CHARLOTTE, N. C., May 15
Plans for a counter offensive by the
American Federation of Labor against
the organizing efforts in the southern
textile industry of John L. Lewis’
Commitee for Industrial Organization
were disclosed here yesterday.
George L. Googe, Southern repre
sentative of the A. F. of L„ said his
organization, which chartered the
United Textile Workers’ of America,
would organize new unions, having no
connection with the U. T. W„ through
out the Southern textile area.
At the same time the labor leader
charged that "leaders drawn for
monetary considerations into the C.
I O. are but fronts for the real lead
ers” who, he asserted, "are using com
munistic strategy and are being aided
and abetted by all elements in com
munistic organizations in America.”
Googe declared that the former U.
T. W. officials and Executive Board
"in signing a contract with the C. I. O.
* * * surrendered all rights and inter
ests granted them by the A. P. of L.”
