UE Local 924 Joins Fight Against Bill UE Local 924. Independent, which represents the workers at the General Electric Co. plant here, today urged the AFL-CIO to “abandon its futile attempts at compromising with the un-com-promising forces busily at work legislating in the United States Congress against working people today and to fight against passage of any so-called ’Labor-Reform measure in any form.” The UE statement came in the form of a message from the 150,-000-member union’s General President, Albert J. Fitzgerald, to UE Locals throughout the United States and Canada. ‘T he shameful record of collusion for more than three years between the AFL-CIO top brass and the McClellan Committee paved the way for passage of the Lan-drum-Griffin Bill last week in the United States House of Representatives," said UE's Fitzgerald. "This rotten piece of anti-labor legislation was written by the National Association of Manufacturers and maneuvered through Congress by the insidious coalition of Southern Dixiecrats and Northern Republican manufacturers’ agents sitting in Congress. "The position of the AFL-CIO leadership during Congressional

debate on anti-labor legislation made a labor victory impossible."’ said Fitzgerald. "Instead of fighting against further laws injurious to the interests of their members, the AFL-CIO officials chose the weak and unrealistic course of favoring some laws injurious to labor in the groundless belief that ‘tougher’ anti-labor packages de± manded by the bosses could be avoided. The passage Os the Lan-drum-Griffin Bill should impel all organized -labor to resist any antilabor legislation; „ Fitzgerald concluded: "Since the AFL-CIO top command is on record in opposition to the LandrumGriffin bill and has not yet officially endorsed the Kennedy-Irvin Bill as amended, then the AFLCIO top leadership could best serve the interests of all AFLCIO members by fighting now to prevent final passage of any antilabor legislation by this or any session of Congress. Such action would be of service to working men and women everywhere regardless of union affiliation.

Congress Stops Ike's Demand Os High Interest WASHINGTON <UPI) — The House' Ways and Means Committee rejected today President Eisenhower's request for higher interest on long - term government bonds Hie action apparently left no chance that Congress this year would grant the authority asked by Eisenhower to offer new largescale negotiable bonds paying interest above the present 4'/ 4 per cent ceiling. There still was a chance that Congress might go along with the president’s request to raise the present 3>4 per cent interest on Series E savings bonds. Other congressional news: Housing: The Senate resumed debate on a $1,50,000.000 housing bill drawn as a substitute for the freer-spending measure the President vetoed.

Adjournment: Dirksen predicted Congress will adjourn on Saturday. Sept. 5, the Labor Day weekend. Labor: Congressional conferees began hammering out a compromise between the Senate labor reform bill and the stiffer House version. The lawmakers entered their delicate deliberations with a general air of harmony. < Atomic: Senate Disarmament Chairman Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn.) accused the Defense Department and the Atomic Energy Commission today of creating obstacles to agreement at the Geneva nuclear test ban talks. Humphrey also charged that every government department had veto power over this country’s negotiating position at the conference because President Eisenhower has not asserted strong leadership. . "Our negotiators are burdened by obstacles which have been built primarily by the Atomic Energy Commission and to a lesser extent by the Defense Department," Humphrey told the Senate in a prepared spech. H said, “the AEC is allowed to continue to oppose the official position of the United States and to inject its own views on foreign policy due to, lack of leadership at the top.” Other congressional news: Contracts: House investigators called columnist Drew Pearson to tell “all he knows” about alleged attempts by former military officers working for defense contractors to influence Pentagon weapons orders. Chairman F. Edward Hebert (D-La.) of a House armed services subcommittee said Pearson and his associate Jack Anderson would be allowed to keep secret the sources of their information. Sports: Sen. Kenneth B. Keating (R-N.Y.I said he would try to add baseball to a proposed bill which would exempt pro football, basketball and hockey from certain anti-trust laws. Keating said that by ignoring baseball the measure failed to protect “the sport which most needs to be protected.” Chairman Estes Kefauver (DTenn.) of the Senate anti-monop-oly subcommittee, who introduced the bill, said baseball was left out because there were certain legal and other differences between it and the other sports.

His responsibilities include gathering factual information from other franchised dealers in this area for the development o f improvements within the trade and in their relations with the public. Membership support of dealers to their automobile dealer association in Indiana as well as to their national association is also the responsibility of Macklin. Since passenger cars and trucks are such an important and necessary part of our nation’s economy, new car dealers are vital to the distribution and satisfactory performance of new cars. Among local merchants, new car dealers investments are among the highest. Recent rapid turnover of new car agencies serves to indicate the presence of unusual problems and the great risk involved in the business. A better understanding of the business by individuals and various local, state and national government agencies and divisions are among the objects of the Trade Association. Macklin was appointed an associate director to the state body by Haywood Davis of Davis Auto Co., Fort Wayne, Ind., who is a director on the board of the automobile dealers association of Indiana, which has headquarters in Indianapolis.
