Hartley Gets "Bronx Cheer" At C. of C. Spill That G.O.P. liability, Fred Hart ley, continues to flit from one Chamber of Commerce meeting to another, defending (at so much per) that law he wrote along with Sen. Taft and a staff of NAM lawyers. Recently he addressed the Queens (N.Y.) Chamber of Commerce and called the law a potential force for "great industrial peace." He then expressed regret that there has been a great deal of em phasis in the wrong direction" since Nov. 2, and clamor to repeal it. It’s obvious what a union work er would say to such an argument. But imagine Mr. Hartley’s shock when one of the businessmen at tending the dinner shouted: “Boloney!" Now, how do you suppose that "union agitator" ever wormed his way into the Queens Chamber of Commerce.—N. J. Labor Herald. SENATE APPROVES PROBE8 ON ECONOMIC AFFAIRS' Washington. — The Senate au thorized its banking committee to conduct a study of the “spread" between prices farmers received for their products and what con sumers have to pay at the retail level. The Senate approved a resolu tion giving the committee $50,000 to investigate economic stabilisa tion, banking and credit legislation and the problems of small business. Senator Burnet R. Maybank of South Carolina, committee chair man, intends to use part of the money for his price “spread” in quiry. The Senate also voted to allow $30,000, if the House agreed and paid half, for the Joint Economic Committee to study investments, unemployment, low-income fam ilies and monetary policies. NUMBER OF FACTORY JOBS NEARLY 59% OVER *4$ LEVEL Washington-—The number of production workers in United States factories rose from 7,800,000 in prewar 1939 to 11,900,000 in 1947, an increase of about 50 per cent, the Census Bureau reported. Total wages of these workers Increased from $9,000,000,000 to $30,000,000,000 in the same time, a rise of 236 percent. The bureau summarised data ob tained in the 1947 census of man ufacturers. It said reports from 241,000 manufacturing companies showed the value added to mater ials by the manufacturing process amounted to $74,000,000,000 in 19 47, more than triple the comparable figure of $24,000,000,000 in 1939. 93.917 UNION OFFICIALS' FILE NON-RED AFFIDAVITS Washington.—The National La bor Relations Board reported that 93,617 officials of national and local unions had on file current non-Communist affidavits on May 1, an increase of 8,796 over the previous month. The 93,617 affidavits currently on file represent an increase of 25 percent over the 74,797 who had filed as of May 1, 1948. Filing of these affidavits brought 179 national unions and 9,464 locals into full compliance with the affidavit and financial report requirements of the Labor Management Relations Act as of April 30, 1949. I HOW THEY SOLVED (Contiaaed fma Pag* I) arrived from the British Isles and continental Europe, the market value of slaves and indentured servants dropped. As their value dropped there developed a willing ness, among their owners, to let them go free—without waiting for an emancipation law. Why Slavery Disappeared The most influential men, in the North as well as in the South, re fused to become alarmed at the evils of bond labor. Delegate John Adams told the Continental Con gress in 1777: “It is of no conse quence by what name you call the people, whether by that of freemen or slaves. In some countries the laboring poor are called freemen, in others they are called slaves; but the difference as to the state is imaginary only. . . . The con dition of the laboring poor in most countries—that of the fishermen particularly in Northern states— is as abject as that of slavery.” Ten years later, when idealists raised the subject in the convention which drafted the Constitution of the United States, Oliver Ellsworth of Connecticut stated the view of the hard-headed majority that the new Federal government should ignore the “morality or wisdom of slavery.” “Let us not intermed dle," he urged, adding this un equivocal prediction: “As popula tion increases, poor laborers will be so plenty as to render slaves useless.” (The industrial history of Amer ica during the last century and a half has been largely a history of attempts by employers to exploit surpluses of labor and of labor's resistance to such exploitation. As regards the printing industry, es pecially, the documents bearing on this contest have been well kept. In the next Picket will be told how free journeyman printers first be came a noticeable factor in the industry, how they first combined to secure wage scales, and how they adopted their first craft laws to protect their scales.)
