PAGE SIX THE BEND BULLETIN. BEND, OREGON WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 18. 1950 Truman's Trade Program Opposed By Union Labor Washington, Jan. 18 mi Presi dent Truman's international trade program ran into opposition to day from an unexpected quarter organized labor. Combining with representatives of management, representatives of 12 AKL unions formed a "na tional committee on foreign trade policy" which demanded a "searching investigation" of the effect on U. S. industry or rising imports. They told a group of 75 con gressmen at a dinner last night that they are "badly off" because of the administration's trade poli cies. They were critical of the re ciprocal trade program and Import-Increasing policies of the ec onomic cooperation administra tion. ' Although there was no specific mention of the international trade organization at the dinner, most of the industry and labor representatives are opposed to U. S. participation. Mr. Truman made a special appeal for senate ratification of the ITO charter in his recent messages to congress. Rare Departure The 12 AFL unions support the 'wage earners protective confer ence." Although the conference has no connection with the nation al AFL, its activities constitute a rare departure from labor's usual support of administration poli cies. Sen. Owen Brewster, R., Me., one of the legislators who attend ed last night's dinner, told news men that there is "no question that they (the labor and industry men) are badly off." "It is becoming a question of small business against big ones," ho said. "The mass production in dustries can compete anywhere In the world and don't need to worry about foreign products. But the little outfits can't meet the competition of cheap foreign la bor." Rep. Frank B. Keefe, R., Wis., said the speakers "told lament able stories about the effect for eign imports are having on seg ments of our own industry." Protest!) Ignored "They tried unavalllngly to lay .their cases before the govern ment," ho said. "They said they got nowhere. They were buffet ed about." But two democrats who prefer red to remain anonymous said that every republican who oppos es reciprocal trade agreements was at the dinner "shooting' off his mouth. ; "Naturally," said one, "some in dustries are going to be hurt, but we're not going to condemn the whole reciprocal trade policy." John Hawk, secretary-treasurer of the Seafarers union of North America (AFL), said increased canned tuna Imports from Japan and South America "will even tually force our fishermen to face unemployment." "No 'small Industry," rfe said, "should be sacrificed for the gov ernment's foreign policy." Altogether, some 17 industries are participating in the newly .formed committee. They include the pottery, glassware and hat making and match industries. IP 1 7J T. I- rrv OK'S "MERCY DEATHS" Dr. Clarence C. Little of Bar Harbor, Me., above, outstanding cancer authority, has suggested a low legalizing "mercy killings," with proper safeguards. Dr. Lit tle endorses the idea of allowing a person to make a will, to be opened if and when he is stricken with an incurable disease, stat ing whether he wishes to be killed painlessly. The forthcom ing trial of Dr. Herman Sander at Manchester, N. H., on murder charges growing out of the "mercy death" of a woman can cer patient has stirred new con troversy on the subject.

IS Ul The CIO United Auto Workers today or dered a nationwide strike of 9(1,000 Chrysler corporation em ployes next Wednesday unless pension and other welfare de mands are met. Strike notice was served 14 hours ufter the UAW turned thumbs down on a Chrysler of fer of $100 pensions under a new five-year agreement. The offer, similar to that grant ed Ford workers last September, was termed "totally inadequate and unacceptable" by Norman Matthews, national UAM Chrys ler director. He called freezing of non-economic provisions of the contract for five years "ridiculous." Changes in union security; griev ance procedures, seniority and other matters "are long overdue," he said.
