Striking Meat Workers
Over Nation Called
To Meetings Today
iy tht Associated Pres*
CHICAGO, May 20. — Striking
CIO Packinghouse workers across
the country were summoned to
meetings today and tonight, pre
sumably to vote on a proposal to
return to the jobs they left March
16 in a dispute over wages.
Reports spread through the pack
ing industry yesterday of an early
settlement of the strike, w'hich has
been marked by outbreaks of vio
lence at several livestock centers.
A union spokesman, however, said
the strike by its 100,000 members ‘‘is
far from settled.” An erroneous re
port of a settlement had gained
wide circulation yesterday. It was
believed to have been based on
the union issuing a call for local
mass meeting today and tonight.
Mediation Board Meets.
At the meetings, the spokesman
said, the union ‘‘will present the
issues to the membership and let
them decide." He did not say
•whether the rank and file would
vote on accepting the offer by the
major packers for a 9-cents-an-hour
•wage increase. The union had
struck after demanding a pay raise
of 29 cents an hour.
Meanwhile, a three-man Federal
mediation board scheduled a joint
session between the union officials
and Swift & Co. in Chicago today.
Discharges Threatened.
The union has been reported ready
to accept the 9-cent pay increase,
but has objected to possible dis
charges of some strikers who al
legedly haves taken part in strike
Violence.
Gov. Luther Youngdahl of Min
nesota, who attended conferences
with the mediators and union and
packer representatives here earlier
this week, said in St. Paul the strike
“could now be resolved except for
one issue.” He aded:
“The only obstacle to a settlement i
still undetermined is the question of
which employes, if any, be denied
employment because of conduct in
the strike."

lock. Talks had been scheduled to
resume late in the week.
The Rath plant reopened for lim
ited operations April 17. Lee Simon,
a CIO official, estimated about 1.100
persons a day—345 of them produc
tion workers—have been entering
the plant.
Tension, which had been mount
ing on the Rath picket line during
the day following arrest of two
strikers, jumped sharply in late aft
ernoon when the company obtained
a court order imposing new restric
tions on the union.
Loudspeakers Forbidden.
The order directed the union to
dismantle the loudspeakers it had
been using outside the plant gates
and to cease assembling within 500
feet of the company entrances.
Leo Guynn, president of the
UPWA local, asserted following the
riot, that the entire series of inci
dents and tragedy could be traced
to the court order.
“I warned deputies when they
served the order forbidding use of j
the loud speakers that serious trou- 1
ble would result because the speak
ers were oui only method of reach
ing our people,” Mr. Guynn said.
When the disturbances broke out
authorities granted union officers
special permission to use speakers
to calm the crowd.
•’ ‘Start walking through streets
and away from this plant,” the loud
speaker boomed. “We have one
man dead and one woman shot be
cause this trouble wasn’t avoided.
Don't lose your heads. Let's be
have.”
The crowd, which grew to nearly
10,000 as sightseers flocked to the
scene, had melted away to 300 by
midnight, and four giant floodlights
lighted the plant area.
The woman striker who was in
jured, identified as Margaret Dra
heim, 34, Waterloo, was in good

Senator Dworshak. Republican,
ot Idaho said he is inclined to agree
■with Gov. Dewey of New York that
"you can’t legislate a philosophy
out of business.”
Gov. Dewey contended in a radio
rienate this week that the bill would
not outlaw the Communist Party.
Harold E. Stassen said, in effect,
that, it would.
Senator Wherry of Nebraska, act
ing Republican leader, predicted the
Senate will pass a bill similar to
the House-approved measure. But
he said there are "a lot of serious
constitutional questions involved.”
120 Days of Grace.
The House rolled the bill through
after three days of debate after
amending it to give individuals 120
penalty-free days to get out of any
Communist-front, organization which
failed to register with the Govern- j
mont.
Under the measure's terms, the
Communist Party would have to file
a financial statement yearly with!
the Justice Department and list all'

Affiliated groups would have to
register and file money statements,
but wouldn't have to list their mem- j

would be provided.
Communists Challenge
Mundt to Debate on Bill
NEW YORK. May 20 <*»>.—’The
American Communist Party has
challenged Representative Mundt,
Republican, of South Dakota to
debate on the Mundt-Nixon bill to
control subversive activities.
William Z. Poster, Communist
National Chairman, telegraphed an
invitation yesterday. There was no
immediate reaction from Mr. Mundt.
The invitation was sent after
cancellation of a radio debate on
the bill, scheduled for last night,
In which the Communists were to

The cancellation caused another

The Communists said Mutual had
told them it could not obtain a
Congress member to oppose them on
the program. A Communist spokes
man said the party turned down
Mr. Thomas because “his views on
the bill are not clearly defined."
Then the Socialists said the Com
munists’ reiusal to debate with Mr.
Thomas was "a cowardly rejection
of democracy."
The Socialists said the subject of
the proposed debate was not the
Mundt-Nixon bill itself, but rather
the question “Is the Communist
Party a threat to American democ
racy?”
The Socialist Party said it is “un
alterably opposed” to the bill, which'
is aimed principally at the Commu
nists in this country.
The debate had been scheduled
after the Communists demanded
radio time to reply to charges made
against them in the Thomas E.

however, that the Vandenberg reso

The New England Senator said
the committee added words to the
Vandenberg resolution which would
give the United States an ‘overall
look" at the military plans of any
regional agreement that may be
proposed.
"Such an agreement," he said,
“would be a practical arrangement,

There was some fear that if this
hearing continued late in the day,
it might be difficult to keep a
quorum of the committee member

mittee session to act on the home

Advocates of the bill, which would
substitute an elected city council

Mr. Smith told reporters he had
been insisting that the bill be "given
its day in court,” since so much
time, money and thought had been
put to its drafting. The Auchincloss
subcommittee devoted more than a
year to the work, at a cost of $30,000.
While he may have some questions
about the final provisions. Mr. Smith
said, the measure should be sub
mitted to the House for a decision.
He had joined with other District
Committee members in ordering a
favorable report of the bill to the

The issue of the lack of action in
the Rules Committee was carried
up to Speaker Martin. He was sur

Labor Board Weighs
Decision on 'Unfair'
Charges Against ITU
By th» Associated Press
Newspaper .charges of unfair la
bor practices against the AFL In
ternational Typographical Union
have been taken under advisement
by Arthur LefT, examiner for the
National Labor Relations Board.
Hearings in the case ended yes
terday. , They had been in progress
for six months in a number of cities,
though frequently interrupted by
recesses.
The charges against the union
were brought by the American
Newspaper Publishers Association,
joined by the Southern Newspaper
Publishers Association and the In
land Daily Press Association.
The principal charge is that the
international has dictated contract
policies to its locals—including in
sistence on the closed shop—which
violate Taft-Hartley Act provisions.
Mr. Left gave all parties to the
dispute 15 days to file briefs sum
ming up their arguments. He said
oral argument may be heard later,
after which he will rule on the case.
No matter which side Mr. LefT finds
for, an appeal is expected to be
taken to the five-man Labor Rela
tions Board itself.
Midway in the hearings. NLRB
General Counsel Robert N. Denham
obtained a Federal court injunction
against the union to halt the al
leged unfair labor practices until
the NLRB makes a final decision.
Before the hearings ended, NLRB
attorneys dropped two of the lesser
charges against the union, explain
ing they were not proved:
1. That the ITU "illegally occu
pied” newspaper composing rooms
during work slowdowns, thus al
legedly preventing other newspaper
employes from carrying out their
regular duties.
2. That the ITU members de
manded pay for time spent attend
ing union meetings during working
hours, allegedly in violation of the
Taft-Hartlv ban against paying em
ployes for work not performed.

bring the bill to the floor for a vote.
There is no doubt that tax repeal
will win again and overwhelmingly
if the vote can be taken.
But margarine backers don’t con
sider the Rules Committee exactly
friendly. Although the House passed
the bili by an overwhelming 260-to
106 vote, the 12 members of the
Rules Committee voted six against,
four for with two not registered.
If the Rules Committee refused to
give the bill a- green light, the bill
will go back to the Agriculture Com
mittee, the committee which started
all the fuss by killing all ’•epeal
bills for the rest of the Eightieth
Congress.
“I don't think the ^tules Commit
tee would sit on the bill, in view of
the overwhelming House vote," said
Representative Rivers, Democrat, of
South Carolina, today, “but if neces
sary, I'll start another petition to
discharge the Agriculture Commit
tee once again."
Time May Run Out.
Even if the signatures could be ob
tained in a single day, this proce
dure probably would amount to a
death sentence for the repeal bill. I
A bill brought to the floor by the
discharge route must lay on the I
table seven legislative days and then j
be called up on the second or fourth!
Monday following. There isn’t that
much time before Congress will quit.
This alarming situation, from the
margarine backers’ standpoint, came
to light today through the efforts
of Representative Mitchell, Repub
lican, of Indiana, one of the bill's
most vocal sponsors. He discovered
it while checking to see what the
parliamentary situation would be if
the Senate adopts any amendments.
The Senate Republican Policy
Committee still has to give the bill
a place on the already crowded
calendar of •‘must’’ legislation to|
‘be brought to the floor before Con-1
A
1 gress quits for the national conven
I tions.
Margarine backers were busy to
day seeking approval of this power
ful nine-man group.
Senator Fulbright, Democrat, of
Arkansas, leading margarine backer
in the Senate, who offered the
amendment on public eating places,
today was considering one possible
way out of the problem.
He was reported ready to ask the
Senate, provided the bill reaches the
floor, to eliminate all amendments
and send the bill directly to the
White House. He would do this
with a promise to attach the same
amendment to some other piece of
legislation so that it would have
the same effect in the end. But
sponsors of other legislation may
not be happy to have such an
amendment on their bill.

Reds Blame U. S. Shift
From Roosevelt Policy
MOSCOW, May 20 (A5).—Tass says|
"leading circles" in Russia blame
current Soviet-American difficulties
on the United States Government's
departures from the policies of
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The official Russian news agency
said, in a dispatch distributed last
night, that it was in a position to i
report the opinions of these "leading |
circles" and that the belief there is
that the Soviet-American deadlock
is the result of the present Wash-!
ington Government’s ‘‘aggressive
attitude.”
UndprUw administration of Pres
ident Roosevelt, Tass said, "the most
difficult international questions”
were settled between the United
States, Britain and Russia for more
than three years.
Tass charged the State Depart
ment contradicted itself by its nega
tive attitude toward proposals for
direct negotiations as contained in
an exchange of “open letters” be
tween Prime Minister Stalin and
H&nry A. Wallace, third party presi
dential candidate.
This Washington response evoked
surprise in Moscow, the news agency
said, commenting that while Mr. j
Staliri had addressed his rmearks
to Mr. Wallace, the State Depart- j
ment, nevertheless, “considered it
necessary to make a special state-;
ment to the press on J. V. Stalin's
reply to Mr. Wallace."

later, however, the UMW made clear
it would deal with Mr. Moody if he
entered negotiations as a representa
tive of the 14 local operator groups
which compose the SCPA.
Most Are Ready to Talk.
Mast of the mine operators, ex
clusive of the South and the “cap
tive” or steel company owned mines,
were ready to talk about a new;
contract with Mr. Lewis.
These mine interests include those
from the Far West, Illinois, In
diana and central Pennsylvania.
The “captive” mines and the
Southern Producers apparently were
involved in an informal pact against
bargaining for a new contract with
the UMW unless Mr. Lewis recog
nized the Southern Coal Producers'
Association. Along that line Mr.
Moody has filed additional charges
with the National Labor Relations
Board, accusing Mr. Lewis of vio
lating the Taft-Hartlev Act by
refusing to bargain with him.
Favor Leaving Door Open.
Most of the other operators who
supported Mr. Moody in his stand
were prepared to go no further on
the issue. They took the position
that a contract had to be made to
take the place of the present one,
which expires June 30, and they
were determined to leave the door
open for Mr. Lewis to bargain if
he wanted to.
The mine workers’ position was1
that neither Mr. Moody nor the
SCPA had signed the present wage
agreement and. therefore, they had
no right to discuss negotiating a
new contract.
However, Thomas Kennedy, vice
president of the UMW. issued a
statement after the collapse of
formal negotiations which was con
sidered highly conciliatory. Mr.
Kennedy said:
“The United Mine Workers is
anxious and willing to negotiate
a new wage agreement with the
bituminous coal industry. The UMW
did not walk out of the preliminary
joint conference.”
Demand Formal Selection.
On the subject of the controversy
about Mr. Moody, Mr. Kennedy said:
"The UMW is perfectly willing
now, and always has been willing,
to meet with the actual producers
of Southern coal, their associations
which signed the 1947 agreement
(present contract) and any repre
sentatives they certify as their col
lective bargaining agents.
“We are willing to meet with Mr.
Joseph E. Moody if he is chosen by
the Southern operators and associa
tions who signed the 1947 agree
ment to be their collective bargain
ing agent. We told the operators,
and we now reiterate, that we have

U. $. Asked to Supply
Penicillin to Doctors
Here for Drive on VD
The District Health Department
has asked the United States Public
Health Service tor enough penicillin
to supply private physicians for an
estimated 17,000 treatments for
gonorrhea during the next year.
This was disclosed yesterday by
Dr. Theodore J. Bauer, recently ap
pointed chief of the Venereal Disease
Division of the Public Health Serv
ice, speaking at a Rotary Club
luncheon at the Mayflower Hotel.
Dr. Ross Taggart, director of the
Venereal Disease Bureau for the
Health Department, said he has
asked members of the District
Medical Society and the Medico
Chirurgical Society to participate in
the free-treatment plan.
* Education Program Set.
Under the proposed program the
penicillin would be distributed to
doctors as they need it for treat
ment. Dr. Taggart said an educa
tion program would get under way
next month to urge residents with
suspicious symptoms to visit their
family physicians.
Dr. Taggart said gonorrhea cases
reported here have increased at the
rate of 2,000 a year for the last
i three years. Up to 90 per cent of
early cases of the disease can be
stopped with a single application
| of penicillin, the official said.
Dr. Bauer told the Rotary Club
that a “happy ending’’ for the con
trol of venereal diseases is nearing
'because “public leaders, not men of
medicine alone, are writing the final
chapter.” He added:
Recently Assigned Here.
“The great problem of venereal
disease control is that of bringing
the treatment to the patient. That
' is why it is so important for doctors
land civic leaders all over the land
to participate."
Dr. Bauer has recently been as
signed to Washington, replacing Dr.
J. R. Heller who has been assigned
to the National Cancer Institute.
He formerly was veneral disease
control officer of the Chicago Board
of Health.

Senate Starts Debate
Today on Admission
Of 100,000 Refugees
By th» Associated Press
The Senate squared off for a
heated battle today over a bill
to admit 100,000 homeless Euro- j
peans to this country during the
next two years.
Senator Wherry, Republican, of
Nebraska, acting majority leader,
said the debate “will be hot” and
probably will continue three or four
days before a final decision.
Even before the measure hit the
floor for opening arguments the
battle lines had formed. Opponents
came armed with a pile of amend
ments and a substitute bill that
would double the number of dis
placed persons to be given refuge
here.
Must Be Carefully Screened.
As drafted by the Senate Public
Works Committee, the bill calls for
admission of 50,000 Europeans this
year and the same number next
year. Half of the aliens must come
from Eastern Poland and the Baltic
countries now under Russian con
trol. All must be carefully screened
first by regular American immigra
tion and consular officials.
Half of those accepted must be
farmers and jobs must be available
for the rest. In addition, all must
bo assured of “decent, safe and
sanitary housing without displacing”
present residents and citizens of this
country.
The substitute bill being pushed
by Senators McGrath, Democrat, of I
Rhode Island and Hatch, Democrat,!
of New Mexico with administration
backing would double the number of
Europeans admitted and liberalize
rules for selecting and bringing
them here.
House Approval Predicted.
