CRIP ON UNIONS

COMINGTS

Labor Sympathizers Could Paralyze Big City’s Economy at Will.

By FRED W, PERKINS Soripps-Howard Staff Writer NEW YORK, Sept. 26.—The hookup between American Communists and the C. I. O. Political Action Committee 4 more obvious and marked here than anywhere else, So strong and effective is this alliance that it is credited, through balance-of - power tactics, with being i © able to swing 4 state and city } elections. p This is important in any study Perkins of Communist influerice in labor unions. Philip Murray.and most other C. I 0. national dfficers are not Communists or even sympathizers but it is obous that the C. I. O.-P. A. C's vith the Reds in New ork City strengthens the disciples of Stalin. It also strengthens the CL O-P. A C, ut observers of the devious workings af Communist leaders have no doubf\which of the partners would come oud: on top in a conflict of interests. 3 Could Tie Up Metrophlls Further, through the strong posi-, tion of Communists and. their\sympathizers in sorme of the impoftant 0. 1. O. unions—in shipping;.in the subways and other forms of cit® transportation, and in telegraphic sand radio communications — they could tie up this metropolis at will Many of the biggest recent strikes here had a Communist background. New York City is the main funnel through which the Communist party line is transmitted from Moscow to

American comrades. Most of the 70,000 Communist party members now claimed by William Z. Foster, head of the American unit, live and work in metro- | politan New York. Solicitation of | new members and proselyting is | open and noisy. The Commuists, | through announcements only in the | party organ, the Daily Worker, fre- | quently fill Madison Square Garden | with paid audiences. | Mrs. Roosevelt Protests | The American Labor Party, the]

ork, with most of its voting ength in this city, is CommunistBntrolled. A witness to that effect is Mrs. Eleanor Roasevelt. In August, 1942, she protested a misuse of her friendship in a letter to Eugene P Connolly, secretary of the A. L. Ps New York county committee, and in it she said: «1 should like to see labor people united, because it would add to their strength, but they cannot be united politically with people who act under the dictates and in the interest of another nation.” Control of the A. L. P. is the same now as in 1942. The Greater New York Industrial Union Council (C. I. O.) is the campaigning agency for the A. L. P. Its secretary and executive sparkplug is Saul Mills, who has been identified with numerous communist “front” organizations. Other powers in the industrial union council are Michael Quill, president of the C. I. O. Transport Workers union and Communist-supported city councilman, and Joseph Curran, president of the National Maritime union. In Recent Row Mr. Curran recently figured in a row with Frederick Myers, former N. M. U. vice president and a memper of the Communist party's nagional committee, but the Curran ological sympathies are indicated + the fact that he took part in picketing the White house against an “imperialistic war,” until Hitler aftacked Russia. C. B. Baldwin, executive of the national citizens P. A. ©, and formerly of its sister oganization, the C. I. O.-P. A. C., has admitted that so far as New York political contests are concerned the decisions of these inter-related groups are made by the A. L. P. leadership. This and numerous other connections which nobody apparently attempts to conceal add up to the conclusion that so far as its New York activities -are concerned the 0. 1. O-P. A CO. is Communistdominated. Although they have endorsed the A. L. P. and Democratic tickets in general, the Communists this year are running two “token” candidates of their own—Benjamin J. Davis, Negro leader, for state attorney general, state comptroller. Strong Evidence Elsewhere Among the New York labor unions the International Fur and Leather Workers union is tradi tionally communistic. Its president, Ben Gold, is a member of the Communist national committee, and Irving Potash, also promnient in the uMon, sits on the Communist national board. In the A. F. of L. unions there is strong evidence of Communist influence in a few local spots, but there is none to show control df any A. FP. of L. international union. Louis Weinstock, secretary-treas-urer of New York district council ‘No. 9 of the International Brotherof Painters, Decorators and aperhangers (A. F. of LJ), is a member of the Communist national committee. New York units of the A. FP. of 1. Hotel and" Restaurant Workers union also are Communist= loaded. : But in general the Communists

and Robert Thompson for b

have concentrated their efforts on untts of the C. I. O.

Merit Award

cussions on the possibility of ma-| chines with 1,000,000,000 electronic |

Scientists used the so-called cyclotron in early smashing of the atom, and now they need these new powerful machines to make further study of the atom nuclei.

They cautiously say that the new machines may also produce artificially the equivalent of cosmic rays. These are the beams that are

found in great density 20 to 40 |

miles above the earth's surface and have a component, known as a meson, which has thousands of times as much energy as is released

being manufactured at their plant

might be called a “portable” machine in that it weighs “only” eight tons and is four and one-half feet high. They compared this %o the University of California's machine, now under construction at which has a magnet weighing 4800 tons. They also compared it to G. Es betatron, another type of atom smasher, wihch produces Xrays powered by 100,000,000 electronic volts, The betatron has a 130-ton magnet and stands nine feet high. Like a dangerous monster—and it is that in more ways than one—it is housed in a special building with walls of great thickness. Bells ring and lights flash warn-

UNSIGNED CAMPAIGN ADS BANNED BY LAW

By Scripps<Howard Newspapets WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-Se-vere penalties for publication of anonymous campaign literature and advertisements are provided in a law enacted in 1944, the house campalgn expenditures committee warned today, The new law provides, in effect, that no one shall distribute any. pamphlets, advertisements, circu« lars, or posters about any candle date for congress, or for president or vice president, unless such ade vertisement bears the name of the person or persons responsible for its publication. The measure outlaws such timehonored ‘dodges as “paid for by (riends of the sandidate” on political advertising, since actual names must be given, A fine_of not more than $1000, or one year in jaM, or both, may be.imposed for violation of the new law, it was pointed out.
