POWER COMPART
Labor League For Political Action Has
Modi Work Cot Out For It Id 1950
WASHINGTON—The 1950 election campaign will start
in July of this year—16 months before election day. A
drive for voluntary contributions will start next Pall.
Special concentrated attention will be given next year to
Southern Democratic primaries. But the chief target for
iqka will h<> tha rlpfant of Senator Robert Taft of Ohio.
These were the. decisions made
at the LLPE Administrative Com
mittee meeting’ in Cleveland. The
LLPE policy leaders with the
recent vote on the Hal leek-Wood
Bill fresh in their minds, were
far from discouraged by the votes
in the 81st Congress. All but
2 of the 172 LLPE supported
Representatives elected in No
vember stood by labor. Our
friends in Congress had increased
from 83 to 208 thanks to our
efforts last election. The Wood
Bill vote" clearly showed us where
we must concentrate in 1950. We
must concentrate on the 63
Southern Democrats who violated
their party’s pledge. Already the
Taft campaign is underway in
Ohio. He and other reaction
aries ‘ will not take us lightly
next time . . . they will give us
the race of our political lives.
It will take even greater effort
in 1950 to re-elect our friends
and retire a few more die-hards
r of the stripe of Halleck-Martin
and Taft.
The LLPE Administrative Com
mittee is determined that our
League shall not be “too little
and too late." The Committee
was happy to report that at the
present time practically evory
AFL International Union is giv
ing whole-hearted support and
financial assistance to LLPE. All
the key state leaders will be
called into Washington sometime
in July to lay out concrete and
co-ordinated strategy for the
1950 election and to get set for
the bigges^political fund-raising
drive in AFL history.
As President Green summed
up the situation:
"The workers of this country
cannot feel safe and secure while
reactionary forces are able to
muster such strength in Congress
as was manifested in the roll call
vote on the Wood Bill.”
LLPE will not be found want
ing in 1950.
WIDE POWER IS GIVEN
TO PRESIDENT TRUMAN
IN EXECUTIVE BRANCH
WASHINGTON—Congress com
pleted action today on a bill giv
ing President Truman broad pow
ers to streamline the executive
branch of the Government.
The Senate, by a voice vote
with no opposition, approved a
compromise version of the bill
which was worked out by a Sen
ate-House committee yesterday.
The House passed it a few min
utes earlier.
Senate action sent the measure
on its way to the White House
after a month of bitter wrang
ling.

988 ILGWU Members Get
First Pashm Payments
By Arnold Beichman, New York
Correspondent for AFL News
Service
NEW YORK. —The employer
financed old age pension system
of this city’s largest industry,
dress manufacturing, went into
effect last week with the retire
ment of 988 aged dressmakers. ,
Henceforth, the 85.000 mem
bers of the Dressmakers Joint
Board of the International Ladies
Garment Workers Union will be
assured of a lifetime pension of
$50 a month supplementing the
Federal old age pension.
At special ceremonies here,
ILGWU President Dubihsky
pointed out that "if you look back
upon the benefits won through
collective bargaining in our in
dustry, what appeared first as
an additional cost has turned out
shortly thereafter to be a factor
in reducing industry costs.’’
The pension system is admin
istered, under a collective bar
gaining agreement with employer
association, by a joint union-in
dustry committee, the head of
which is the dress industry’s im
partial chairman, Harry Uviller,
who is empowered to break any
deadlock.
The financing of the retire
ment fund is through a I per m
cent tax on payrolls and as of
May 1, a sum of $3,368,836 had
been accumulated.
To be eligible for the the pen
sion, a member must have been
in gftod standing for 11 years
since 1933 and consecutively for
the last 5 years. To continue re
ceiving the allotment, the work
er is barred from working in the
dress industry or if he takes em
ployment in another industry his
earnings may not exceed the
amount prescribed under the So
cial Security Act pension eligi
bility rules.
Julius Hochman, Dress Joint
Board manager and treasurer of
the retirement fund of the dress
industry, pointed out that the
outstanding fact thus far is the
unwillingness of most eligible
workers to retire not because of
the size of the pension but be
cause of a desire to remain ac
tive.
The first pension check went to
Ike Simon, 70, a cutter and mem
ber in good standing for the past
48 years. He was one of 607-men
and 381 women who will now,
that they are 65 years or over,
receive pension checks each
month
