Newspaper Page Text9 FOURTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, April 25, 19S7 Ike Asks Congress For Laws To Curb Labor Racketeering Augusta, Ga. U.R) Presi dent Eisenhower, after a confer- ence here with Secretary of La bor James P. Mitchell, called on Congress today for new legisla tion to eliminate labor racket eering. The President called racket eering in the labor movement "an abomination which must be eliminated." "We don't want to do any thing that will hamper the Am erican labor movement in its legitimate objective," Mitchell said after talking with the Presi dent. "But we do want to help la bor clean tip its own house," Mitchell added. The secretary's conference with the President on new anti- racketeering legislation stemmed from recent Senate investigating committee disclosures involving Dave Beck and his International Teamsters Union. Special Statement Eisenhower in a special state ment following his meeting with Mitchell, said, "labor racketeer ing like corruption anywhere, is an abomination which must be eliminated if and whenever it occurs." "Any officer and employee of labor and it appears there have been a few who abuse .the pow er and trust imposed on them, are not fit to hold union of fices," he President said. "The American working man and wo man deserves from labor lead ership high standards of trust and fidelity." The President said that cor ruption "on the part of a few should not obscure the fact that I the vast majority of those con- nected with organized labor are decent and honest Americans and that responsible labor lead-, ership is moving speedily to ward protecting their members i from any such abuses, as far as j their means permit." i Mitchell, in a press confer-; ence after his talk with the Pres- ' ident, said he thought the Taft- Hartley labor-management law was deficient in the protection of the worker or union member. He said he was commissioned by the chief executive to draft a new administration approach to laws requiring public record of salaries paid to union offic ials, the condition of their j treasuries and the administra-, tion of these funds. Would Publicize Funds Mitchell told reporters that i the administration shortly will j ask Congress to pass a law giv- j ing the executive branch of gov-: ernment the authority to look over union funds and make theVn public. The secretary said the President approved this recom mendation. Mitchell said the administra tion, and Congress, too, should not be pushed "headlong" and "impelled by the hysteria of the moment" to pass punitive labor legislation. Protests Registered Against Plan To Hike Corporation Taxes Saipm (U.R) First hearings CJi the Democratic tax program and especially the bill raising corporation excise tax rates to seven per cent ' drew some sparks in the House Tax commit tee here late Wednesday. About 100 businessmen heard Robert A. Hudson of Hudson House. Inc., Portland tell the committee his company was considering leaving Oregon be cause of high corporation excise taxes. Wrong Approach Charged Hudson claimed the commit tee was taking the wrong ap proach to the whole tax prob lem and that it should try to bring more industry into the state. Chairman .Clarence Barton told Hudson the committee was wholeheartedly in support of more industry- for Oregon, but that it also faced the job of rais ing enough money to support a minimum budget for the next Rep. Vernon Cook, Gresham Democrat, said the increased ex cise tax would raise some $10 j million which would otherwise i have to be raised by further in come tax. Hudson said he personally would not mind paying more personal income tax if it would encourage business. The Democratic excise bill places the tax rate at seven per cent instead of eight per cent. But it also eliminates a 50 per cent personal property tax off set now enjoyed by corporations. Utilities also would be taxed at the full rate and banks at nine per cent. Lawyer Abe Rosenberg, Port land, representing Meier and Frank and other retail stores, said the present excise tax was already keeping industry out of Oregon. Tom Scanlon, of the State La bor Council,' gave qualified ap proval to the excise tax bill, but said he thought the rate should be reduced from Seven to six per cent.
