HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE THREE Welfare Fund Frauds To Be Patched By Union CHlecads MIAMI BEACH, Fla. ( Union leaders reported today the AFL CIO is getting ready to crack down on a series of alleged frauds In handling multimtllion dollar union welfare funds. I The move is planned as the first step in carrying out an elm of the TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1956 ft r, ... . , ,71 newly merged AFL-CIO to clean unions of racketeering and cor ruption. A five-man Ethical Practices Committee recommended that the AFL-CIO Executive Council give It authority to proceed with hear ings in four cases involving affili ated unions. It was Intimated that findings against these unions could lead to their expulsion from the AFL-CIO. A Senate Labor subcommittee headed by Sen. Douglas (D-Ill) al ready has turned up considerable data In these cases. One case in volved an alleged shortage of near ly a million dollars In insurance funds of the Laundry Workers In ternational Union. I Another case involves a local, i the leader of which recently testl-1 fled before the Douglas committee accompanied by two bodyguards. Members of the AFL-CIO Ethical Practices Committee said private ly they were determined to root out fraud in handling union welfare funds. One said, "All of us are prepared to quit if the Executive Council doesn't go along with us L and take a firm stand." j AFL-CIO officials also were' re-j ported aissatisnea with an admin istration bill recently Introduced In Congress to require periodic fi nancial reports of all types of wel-1 fare funds to be filed with thel Labor Department. They said the plan gives too much leeway to the secretary of labor to issue exemptions from the filing requirement and to say what Information should be filed. The position of AFL-CIO leaders is that the filing requirement should be spelled out in the law without ex emptions. The council said In a statement yesterday the year 195 will be one of "economic adjustments, with some ups and downs." It said em ployment and overtime work has begun to shrink in auto and re lated industries. "Economic activity may level off or begin to slip sometime dur ing the year," the statement said. it added that President Elsen hower's legislative proposals rec ognize "the persistence of social and economic problems" but don't go far enough toward solving ' thm. Where Eisenhower has cau trbned against a tax cut this year, the council urged one for lower income families.
