MDRSE RAPS . s DULL Bll AND ECO fi DOMIC REACTIONARIES i Asheville, N. C.—America and Jail it stands for can be saved only by honest liberalism. Senator Wayne B. Morse of Oregon told the Southern Labor Conference In a hard-hitting speech. Senator Morse did not spare his punches. He landed a haymaker on his colleague, Senator Joseph Ball of Minnesota, turning from the lib eral path, opposing such vital so _“ •trnSmm ilJ FOR PLENTY OF HOT WATER ) • " rfr > 1 W ?<■ p^e .nrl: 1 MtATl * WRONG Vi H u Hi 11 hi i'i l imMnVfj mi r i PIPE RIGHT Whatever your water heating system . . . You Will Profit from Proper Installation. One of the greatest causes of waste in producing hot water is long runs of large pipe front the heater fo the faucet. * A Purdue University survey reveals that 37% of the total amount of water heated U actually wasted through cooling losses between the tank and the point of use. Fuel, water, and time ate needlessly wasted. Naturally, the larger the pipe the greater the loss of heat in bringing its temperature up to that of water in tbe tank. Hence a 3-8 inch pipe is rec mended, rather than the 3-4 inch often used. Whatever kind of water heating system yoa are considering . .

In the same frank spirit. Senator Morse assailed Congress itself, de claring that the will of the major ity is frequently circumvented by legislative tricks and filibusters, that important legislation is bot tled up in committees, and that the effciency of congressional commi tees is thwarted by the seniority system. Turning on reactionary business leaders, Senator Morse condemned Robert W. Wason, new president of the National Association of Manu facturers, who is leading a fight to destroy OPA and to hamper unions with anti-labor legislation. "The doctrine of economic reac tion he is preaching,” said the Senator, “is selling American busi ness men short and playing into the hands of the leftists.” In discussing the pending mini* mum wage bill, of immense im portance to southern workers, the Senator said: “Some in the Senate, such as Senator Ball, are trying to tell us that if we stand for great ad vances in social legislation we are not liberals but authoritarians. I say that the Ball-Burton-Hatch bill is authoritarian. “One of the major functions of a democratic government jjb to piotect the economically weak from the exploitation of the econom ically strong. That is the objective of the minimum wage bill.” The Senator conceded that Con gress is in a mood now to pass some form of anti-labor legislation, but he warned that such legislation “will cause more labor trouble than it will prevent.” The conference gave the Senator a rousing ovation when he con cluded, and Chairman George , Googe declared he would like to I see a new coalition in Congress—a ; coalition between southern Dem ! ocrata and liberal Republicans I from the North, like Morse. HICKS BODY STRIKE WON BL JIFL UNION Lebanon, Ind.—The six-months old strike at the Hicks Body Co. here was settled when members of the local Federal Union (AFL) voted to accept a contract provid ing for a closed shop, check-off, 181-2-cent hourly increase, im provements in the vacation plan and a complete seniority clause de manded by the union. Hugh Gormley, AFL regional di rector, announcing acceptance of the terms, said he regarded the capitulation by the company as a signal victory for the union after one of the most prolonged and hardest-fought struggles by or ganised labor in that state. "We received the wholehearted support, both morally and finan cially, of the State Federation of Labor, the Central Labor Unions, Building Trades of Indiana and Teamsters’ locals in Indiana and other states, which helped bring this victory about,” he said. “I want to thank you for your support and guidance and I know that you are just as pleased to have this matter settled as are we,” he wrote to AFL President William Green.

C.—The AFL Executive Council, in session here, took steps to implement the AFL drive for a million members In the South. It directed that a campaign co-ordination committee be ap pointed and that a policy commit tee be created to work with him until the drive is concluded. The policy group will be composed of southern AFL leaders. AFL President William Green, immediately following issuance of the Council's statement, told news men the co-ordinator will be George L. Googe, now regional di rector of organization in the South. Each southern State Federation of Labor and each local central labor council will set up its own organ ; izing committee and their work will be co-ordinated by Mr. Googe. The policy committee, Mr. Green said, will be composed of 30 to 40 seasoned AFL leaders, represent ing both international and national groups and the State federations. “Our mission as a labor organi zation is to organize the unorgan ized workers of the Nation and to raise their working and living standards,” the Council said. “There is no section of the Nation which needs organization more acutely than the South. We believe the success of our organizing ef forts will prove beneficial not only tc Southern workers, but also to Southern industry and agricul ture.” Three basic principles by which the Southern drive will be guided were laid down by the Council, which announced: 1. Its primary objectives will be economic, rather than political. 2v It will offer the benefits of unionism to all workers, regardless of race, color or creed. 3. It will be carried on “by an organization with an undeviating loyalty to the United States of ! America.” Extension of the full facilities of the AFL to those engaged in the drive was authorized By the Coun cil, which urged all affiliated un ions, national and international, to assign organizers to supplement and support the campaign. “We call on all local unions in the South to join city central bod ies and State Federations of La bor in making this a united and successful effort," the Council said. Jlfl Chalks Up Victories Id Two VirtMa Plaats Richmond, Va.—Victories scored by the AFL in two Virginia com munities, Portsmouth and Orange, were reported’by Paul J. Smith, regional director. In the plant of Snead A Co., Orange, in an NLRB election, the workers voted as follows: For AFL 74 votes; for CIO 8 votes; for j>o union, 6 votes. A contest ; etwcen the AFL and ! a “no-union" group in the plant of 1 Isaac Foss. 4pe., Portsmouth, showed 73 workers for the AFL, 7 for no union, and 30 challenged by the company. « The campaign in Orange was di rected by Organizer J. A. Garnett and that in Portsmouth by Organ i izer David Alston. PEPPER’S SIX-HOUR TALK BLOCKS ACTION ON BILL Washington, D.

It wp]p a modern version of j Horatius at the Bridge.
