PITTSBURGH PLANS *
LABOR DAY CELEBRATION
Pittsburgh—Plans for a huge
Labor Day parade in protest
against the failure of Congress
to repeal the Taft-Hart ley Act
were announced here by the Pitts
burgh Central Labor Union and
the Joint Council, No. 40, of
I the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters.
Committees in charge of the
demonstration predicted the pa
rade would be the greatest show
of worker strength in the history
of the Tri-State area.
All of the 260,000 local union
members of the AFL in the Pitts
burgh area will be called upon to
participate.
This Labor Day parade will bo
the first to be held in Pittsburgh
since prewar days.
In deciding on the demonstra
tion, its sponsors declared a firm
conviction that there can be no
hope of future progress nor the
enjoyment of the free way of
American life for the wage earn
ers of our country while Taft
Hartleyism in any of its devious
forms remains on the statute
books.
The full impact of these reac
tionary laws have not yet been
felt by labor generally but as time
goes on their various provisions
can stifle the growth of organised
labor, weaken the trade union
movement in the land and make it
increasingly difficult for Amer
ican men and women to keep their
heads above water.
At the same time, President
James L. McDevitt, president of
the Pennsylvania State Federa
tion of Labor, said: ♦
“The answer to labor’s sharp de
feat on T-H repeal libs in more
and intensified political action be
tween the nation’s working men
and women and their union or
ganization.
“The defeat of organized labor
by the 81st Congress in its effort
to repeal the T-H law will weld
organized labor into a smooth run
ning political organization by 1950.
In Pennsylvania, 700,000 members
of the American Federation of
Labor will answer this challenge
at the polls. A successful 1949
campaign is vital to prepare labor
for the 1950 test.’’
LABOR VOTES WILL BEAT
SENATOR TAFT IN 195*
Every vote counts.
Whenever a Trade Unionist
■tarts thinking that his lone vote
is unimportant, he should remem
ber the election of Senator Rob
ert A. Taft (R., Ohio) in 1944.
If only 3.1 voters in each pre
cinct in Ohio had switched their
votes from Taft to his Democratic
opponent, the Labor-Hating Ohio
an would have been defeated.
In 1944, Tart received 1,500,
009 votes. His Democratic op
ponent, William G. Pickrel. got
1,482,010 votes, only 17,999 less
than Taft.
And there are 5,710 precincts
in Ohio. It’s as simple as that!
Every Unionist in every state
should vote against Labor’s En
emies!

Labor Dept Gets Employment Service
I As Senate Votes Reorganization Plan
Washington—The United States
Employment Service, kicked
around like a football for years,
has finally been booted back to
the Labor Department.
This was accomplished when
the Senate upheld President Tru
man’s proposal to transfer the
agency, together with the Un
employment Insurance Service,
from the Federal Security Agen
cy to the Labor Department.
The move, long supported by
the American Federation of La
bor, came as a victory for the
Administration after its earlier
defeat in efforts to create a now
Department of Public Welfare.
The ail-too familiar coalition of
reactionary Republicans and
Southern Democrats killed this
proposed reorganisation plan by
a vote of 60 to 82.
Secretary of Labor Maurice J.
Tobin, hailing the transfer of the
new functions to his department,
declared the action was “a groat
step forward in bringing about
greater efficiency in government
and in strengthening the nation’s
economy.’’ He said that steps
would be taken soon to return to
the department other labor func
tions in a program to rebuild the
agency “to its greatest useful
ness.”
The Administration triumph
scored on a 57*32 vote, meant
that six of the seven reorganiza
tion proposals submitted by
President Truman in line with
recommendations of the Commis
sion on Organization of the Ex
ecutive Branch of the Govern
ment, headed by former Presi
dent Herbert Hoover, would go
into effect. These included;
Transfer of the Bureau of Pub
lic Roads to the Department of
Commerce.
Reorganization of the Post Of
fice Department, with greater au
thority vested in the Postmaster
General and greater assistance
provided for him.
Transfer of the National Se.
curity Council and the National
Security Resources Board to the
Executive Office of the President.
Make the chairman of the Civil
Service Commission the executive
officer of the commission.
Make the chairman of the Mar
itime Commission the chief ex
ecutive and administrative officer
of the commission.
The measure to put the Bureau
of Employment Security and af
filiated services, as well as the
Federal Advisory Council and
functions of the Veterans Place
ment Service Board, into the La
bor Department had the strong
support of Hubert Humphrey of
Minnesota. It* chief opponent
was Senator Irvin* Ives of Now
York .
HOOVER, 75, SAYS' U. 8L
IS NEAR COLLECTIVISM
Palo Alto, Calif.—Age cannot
wither nor custom stale the in
finite sameness of Hooverism.
On his 75th birthday, the for
mer President, now recorded by
Wall Street as an older states,
man .delivered a speech in. which
he said America is now "on the
last mile” toward collectivism.
No, it's not news; it's just
Hoover again.
