Unions Trying To
Lure Farm Hands,
Senator Charges
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4 P
Senator Robertson (D-Val Mon
day said organized labor has
tried to influence farm legisla
tion in order to draw farm work
ers into unions. Admini
tration leaders promptly denied
it.
This issue was Injected Into
debate as the senate took up a
compromise farm bill drafted by
Senator Anderson (DNM), for
mer secretary of agriculture.
The bill would include the cost
of labor as part of the formula
for figuring parity payments. An
derson said labor costs would in
crease subsidy payments to
farmers by about six per cent.
(Parity is the price designed
to give farmers a fair return oi
their crops in terms of what they
must buy.)
Robertson told the Senate the
inclusion of labor costs in the
parity formula "is part of a pro
gram to organize farm workers
in unions."
He said he has been told the
American Federation of Labor
had endorsed this part of the An
derson farm bill.
Anderson said if the AFL had
taken such action "it has been
kept secret from me."
And Senator Pepper (D-Fla)
said there is "no unseen hand of
labor in the bill."
Democratic leader Lucas (111)
said the working man would get
very little benefit from labor
costs being included. "I want to
make it clear" he said, "that
there is nothing in the bill that
goes to the agricultural worker
himself."
The Anderson bill would set up
a flexible system of government
backed price supports, ranging
from 75 lo 90 per cent of parity
for most basic crops. The price
props would come down as crop
supplies went up.

Taft-Hartley Act, Can Stop
Stee Strike 80 Days Longer
By JAMES MARLOW
WASHINGTON. Oct. 4. (.4v-You may be wondering: why is
there a steel strike? I thought the Taft-Hartley act was sup
posed to stop big strikes?
First, T-H can't stop any strike but can only delay one. Sec
ond, President Truman hasn't used T-H in the iteel case but
still can if he wishes to.
The strike, which started Oct
1, already was delayed 78 days
hy presidential action. If Mr.
Truman wants to use T-H now.
he can stop it for another 80
days.
This Is an explanation of what
has been done and can be done.
The CIO Steelworkera were
supposed to strike at midnight,
July 15. On that day Mr. Truman
appointed a three-man fact-finding
board to look into the case,
hear both sides, and recommend
a solution.
So until the board could finish
it work, the steelworkera and
the steel owners agreed there'd
be no shutdown or strike. The
board reported back to the pre
sident Sept. 10.
A couple of times between
Sept. 10 and Oct. 1 a strike
upon the president's request.
When It finally started Oct. 1. 78
days had elapsed since Mr. Tru
man appointed "his fact-finding
board July 15.
Thin 7May delay was volun
tary on both sides, the union and
the steel companies. There was
no law compelling them to agree
to the president's request for
delay.
If he had used T-H. Mr. Tru
man could have delayed the
strike by law. This is how T-H
would have worked in this case:
First. Mr. Truman would have
had to decide a steel strike was
a national emergency, endanger
ing the nation's health and safe
ty? Then he'd appoint a board o f
fact-finders to study the dispute.
Then it reports to the president
on the facts.
(There's a difference between
the T-H type of fact-finding board
and the one used in the present
American Ship

Reaches Shanghai
SHANGHAI, Oct. 4. (PI The
American merchantman Flvlng
Trader docked in Shanghai Mon
day after slipping through the
blockade while nationalist gun
boats escorted two of her sister
ships to the Chusan islands.
The ship was four days over
due from Hong Kong. She spent
most of that time outside of Chi
nese territorial waters near the
mouth of the Yangtze river where
two Chinese warships immohil
ized the outgoing Flvlng Inde
pendent and Flying Clipper, her
sister ships.
The Flying Independent's captain
radioed earlier that the British
armed frigate St. Bridge' St. Bay,
was standing by, within blinker
contact range and ready to give
aid in case of extreeme emer
gency. However, the U. S. and
Britain do not recognize the
blockade. The U. S. navy has re
fused to intercede.
The two ships were halted
Thursday at the mouth of the
Yangtze river. They were out
bound from Shanghai. Aboard are
125 Korean refugees, 15 Ameri
can, British, and other European
passengers, and 10.000 tons of
cargo. The Flying Independent's
skipper reported his situation was
critical due to stormy weather
and food shortage.
(In Seoul, U. S. Economic Co
operation administration officials
said the ships are carrying $1,
659,000 of aid goods for Korea.
The cargo includes three Stinson
planes to inaugurate Korea's first
postwar commercial airline.) .

in this case, not covered by law,
could and did.)
After receiving the T-H board's
report, the president can tell the
attorney general to get a U. S.
court injunction (order) forbid
ding a strike for 80 days.
The first 60 of the 80 days are
intended to give more time for
the union and a company to
reach a settlement. Meanwhile,
the president calls back his T-H
board and asks for a report on
the latest developments.
This report must be made with
in the first 60 of those 80 days
covered by the no-strike order.
The president makes the report
public. If, at the end of the 60

the national labor relations board
steps Into the picture.
It has 15 days after the elapse

among the union members to
see whether they even though
their leaders reject the idea
want to accept a company's lat

That uses up 75 of the 80 days.
In the next five days the NLRB
must tell the attorney general th?
result of the vote. Then, with the
80 days used up, he must go Into
court and have the no-strike or
der dismissed.
At this point, after 80 days' de
lay, a union is free to strike. At
this point the president sends a
full report to Congress. Then it's
up to Congress to take any spec

some special act, to d e 1 a y a

So, although the steel strike
