- T-H Law Is Merely One Of
Congress’ Labor Problem
ong S
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, — (NEA) — Revision of the
Talt-Hartley Law is just one of the labor legisla
tion items coming before the new Congress. Many
of the proposals wre holdovers from the last
Congress or even earlier. Others are bills to change
fxistmg laws, brought up by changed conditions
in the labor situation. :
Revision of Wage-Hour Law and portal-to
portal pay ban are in this class. President Truman
and the Democratic Party platform of 1948 both
called for increasing minimum wage to 75 cents
an hour or better, and for extending coverage.
New Senate Labor Committee Chairman Elbert D.
Thomas of Utah had a bill in to make these
changes last year, but it got no place. There is
some labor lobby agitation to make the minimum
$1 an hour, but that hasn’t much chance. An esca
lator clause, calling for more later, is a possi
bility.
Wage-Hour Law coverage may be extended by
taking in all workers employed in industries “af
fecting” interstate commerce. The law now covers
only workers in interstate commerce and workers
employed in the production of goods going into
intrestate commerce. Department of Labor is also
on record in favor of extending child labor pro
tection in this same manner
OVERTIME ON OVERTIME DISPUTES
BRING NEW LAWS
Demand for revision of the 1947 law banning
payment of portal-to-portal claims unless they
are due by custom or contract arises out of dis
putes about payment of overtime on overtime.
The recent New York longshoremen’s strike was
settled partially on an understanding that the law
would be clarified on this point.
A Labor Extension Service bill is high on the
list of Department of Labor recommendations.
Senators Wayne Morse of Oregon and Thomas of
Utah proposed this legislation last year., It was
favorably reported by the Senate Labor Commit
tee under Senator Taft of Ohio, but never brought
to a vote.
Last year’s proposal was to set up a federal
grants-in-aid program to states that would es
tablish a Labor Extension Board and plans sim
ilar to the extension work for farmers now car
ried on by Department of Agriculiure. For Labor
Extension Service, the states would have been
required to put up at least 25 percent of the funds
allotted to them by the Secretary of Labor. This
money would be used to give labor education
courses in co-operating colleges and universities.
An Industrial Safety Act, nroposed last year by
Senators Morse of Oregon and Olin D. Johnsion
of South Carclina, will be up again. The original
pronosal as approved in President Truman's bud
get message last year called for $5,700,000 plus
$300,000 administrative funds for grants-in-aid to
states establishing and maintaining safer working
conditions in industry.
WOMEN'S PAY BILLS ARE
HARDY PERENNIALS
A Woman's Equal Pay bill and a Women's
Fqual Status bill are - hardy perennials before
each new Congress. Senators Morse of Oregon
and Claude Pepper of Florida backed the. Equal
Pay bill last year. In general, its purpose is 1o
require con.parable pay for comparabie work
performed by both men and women on goods af
fecting or entering into interstate commerce.
The Womens' Equal Status bill, part of broader
equal rights legislation that the women's organ
jzations have been arguing about for years, would
give women workers the same privileges and re
sponsibilities now imposed on or enjoyed by men
A bill to regulate private employment agencies,
first proposed by Congressman John Tolan of Cal
ifornia in 1940, is still being sought. Its aim is to
protect migrant workers 1n particular from the
high fees frequently charged by job placement
agencies. :
Reorganization of Department of Labor, to give
it back some of the responsibilities gradually
shifted to other agencies, will come up in connec
tion with recommendations from ex-President
Herbert Hoover's Commission on Organization of
the Executive Branch of Government. ‘
The Hoover Commission origmally appointed no
“task force” to consider Labor Department re
organization separately. Dr. George W. Taylor was
called in somewhat belatedly “to advise. He has
recommended no. reshuffling until the new Dem
ocratic administration’s labor policy is estab-
England Will Not Be Forty-Ninth
American State
Some Englishmen are getting unduly
alarmed by suggestions that are being
made that England should be made the
forty-ninth state in- the American union.
Such suggestions are utterly foolish and
merit no considerations. The United States
has no wish to have England as a state in
the American Union nor will it have any
such desire in the future, |
This country is well satisfied to get
along with England as a friend and ally
but has no desire to deprive that country
of its sovereignty or to assume anything
bordering on the direction of its govern
mental affairs. -
The agitation of any such a suggestion
as the annexation of England as a state in
the American Union is the wasting of
breath and time and paper. We had our
little tilt with England in the War of the
American Revolution and again in the
War of 1812 and all differences between
our people were settled then.
For one hundred and thirty-four years
there have been no soldiers or ships on
boundary line of more than three thous
and miles between Canada and the United
States. We have lived in peace with our
neighbor to the North a_ng each govern
ment has satisfactorily conducted its gov
ernmental affairs. ~
It so happens that just now the United
States has the bulge so far as finances
are concerned. We have helped England
financially in recent years and will con
tinue to do so whenever it is needed in the
future. The two great English-speaking
nations of the world will continue to lead
the way, but there will be no absorption of
England by the American government.
Together as allies we will fight on for
democracy and the peace of the world.
Proposed Savannah River TVA
When Franklin D. Roosevelt backed
the creation and development of the Ten
nessee Valley Authority, he started some
thing in this country that will grow and
last. The movement to preserve, develop
and utilize the great waterpower of the
United States is growing every day. There
are manw lecalities in several states seek
ing the creation by the federal govern
ment of other such authorities.
Among these movements will be one to
have the federal government develop the
Savannah River Authority along the same
lines of the TVA. Provision has already
been made for the Clarke’s Hill dam
nortk of Augusta. It is to he proposed the
other waterpower along the Savannah
River basin be developed in like manner.
It is a loeng range program, but one that
can be made effective by proper govern
mental action.
Net oniv would this be a splendid addi
tion to advantages already offered in
(leorgia for electrical development, but it
wonld also be the furnishing of increased
military protection in case of war. A na
tion cannot well do without every im
pravement in transportation if called upon
to move and suppnly quickly large numbers
of troops and the surplies and equipment
necessary to make them an effective
fighting force. :
Georgia’s senators and congressmen
are to be congratulated on the interest
thev are showing in this projected move
ment and the hope is expressed that they
will be sueccessful.

“Act of Violence” is a freshly
told drama of hatred and fear be
tween two ex-Gl’s. - Taunt as a
neurotic’s nerves, unreeling its sus
pense with teasing deliberateness,
it probably is chiefly “a man’s pic~
ture”; but many ladies may, find
it deliciously exciting.
With a pistol in his trenchcoat
pocket and nturder in his heart,
Robert Ryvan rides a bus across
country to a small California town.
He’s hunting Van Heflin, captain
of the Army bomber on which Ry
an was bombardier. They were
pals until shot down and imprison
ed by the Nazis. Then Ryan be
came Heflin's hate-choked, mortal
enemy—for reasons it would be a
shame for anyone who has seen the
picture to spill in detail.
i ‘Now Heflin is a respected, popu
'lar citizen, a contractor building
GI homes. He has a wife, nicely
played by Janet Leigh, and a baby.
Ryan, finding Heflin not at home,
i pursues him to a fishing lake and
ljust misses killing him. Barricad
{ed in their home that night, Hef
(lin and his wife are terrorized by
. the sound of Ryan’s shuffling limp,
for which he blames Heflin.
Miss Leigh’s batflement, and the
audience’s, build steadily wuntil
Heflin haltingly explains the
strange enmity. Fleeing Ryan, he
descends into the dregs of Los An
geles’ skid-row society, meets a
shady lady (Mary Astor) and be
comes involved with a crooked
lawyer (Taylor Holmes) and a
muscle man (Berry Kroeger) who
offer him a way out: murder.
Meanwhile, Ryan’s sweetheart
(Phyllis Thaxter) is trying des
perately to divert him from his
homicidal plan. Perhaps a funda
mental fault is that the spectator
can’t cheer for either Ryan or Hef
lin. But if you like suspense and
shock, this picture will help you—
as Miss Astor says philosophically
several times in it—to “get your
kicks.”
When Alexis Smith wiggles her
forehead and Dane Clark takes a
sullen drag on his cigarette in
“Whiplash,” you know the love
bug has bitten them hard. He is
an amateur painter who turns to'
boxing. She is the restless wife of
a crippled boxing promoter and
nightclub owner (Zachary Scott).
It’s all highly improbable but in
its final stages somewhat excit-l‘
ing. ‘
Chubby S. Z. Sakall is around as
spectacled Cupid. Jeffrey Lynn,
who deserves better part than he’s
been getting, is a frustrated, drink
sodden gymnasium doctor. Eve
Arden, who got the loudest ap
plause at the preview, is on hand
as—you know-—the gabby, good
hearted, wisecracking friend.
The word “impressionism” used
in connection with art was coined
by a journalist writing in derision
of Claude Monet’s “impressions.”
