BAD FAITH PROLONGS
INSURANCE CO. STRIKE
The nationwide strike of Pru
dential Insurance Company of
America agents moved into its
third week with no progress
toward a settlement reported.
The U. S. Mediation Service
called representatives of the com
pany and the AFL Insurance
Agents Internatioal Union to
gether to discuss the possibilities
of resuming contract negotiations
which were broken off November
26 when the company refused to
meet a union demand for an in- j
crease in the agents’ weekly
guarantee from $35 to $55.
“We advised the commissioner
that our negotiating committee is
prepared to resume negotiations
at a moment’s notice but we would
not call the committee into ses
sion as long as the company
maintained its adamant refusal
to negotiate in good faith,”
George L. Russ, president of the
union, said. .
Company officials notified the
Mediation Service that the com
pany would not add, amend or
modify?' its offer of an increase
amounting to $3.11 per week.

ASKS U. S. AID FOR
JOBLESS WORKERS
Thousands of U. S. workers
made jobless by shifts of plants
to war work need additional an*
employment compensation desper
ately.
The 18th National Conference j
on Labor Legislation, attended by
several score AFL officials from
most of the states, called on Con
gress to vote supplementary un
employment compensation aid to
workers of states affected by
mass unemployment created by
defense preparation. - - |
The New England States and
Michigan are especially hard hit
by defense unemployment.
The conference summoned by
Secretary of Labor Maurice J.
Tobin urged all the states to en
act adequate unemployment com
pensation benefits to meet all
emergency so long as a worker
is jobless and willing to work.

ONLY ONE WAY TO DO IT. . .
Mrs. Edna M. Berger of Doyles
town, Pa., writes: "If prices of
food and the bare necessities of
life continue to rise, what on earth
are we going to do?*
Reply to Mrs. Berger and ev
eryone interested in lower prices:
The congressional majority which
passed the lopsided control laws
was elected because many voters
did not bother to vote. You can
correct this state of affairs next
November it you register and
vote. The high prices of today
are the direct result of the low
registration last year. The Hand
out Congress was elected by those
who did not vote.
BOB TAFT AND THE TIN BOX
Did your newspaper tell you
about the tin box that helped put
Robert Taft in the Senate? Ben
Tate, who handled Taft’s finanees
for the 1950 campaign, admitted
to a congressional committee that
he kept large sums of money In
a safe deposit box. He dipped
into the box whenever he needed
money and he said he kept no rec
ords of these funds and did not
report them as campaign contri
butions. This is all part of the
huge slush fund that bought Taft
hi* Senate seat. Did I hear some
one call him “Cash-Box Bob"?

SOMEBODY PAYS FOR MINK
William Ruffin, retiring presi
dent of the National Association
of Manufacturers, says that mink
coats in government were put
there by businessmen. Ruffin re
minds us that for every influence
peddler, there must be a busi
nessman willing to buy that in
fluence . . . For every corrupt
official, there must be a business
man to pay for the corruption.
Coming from the head of the
NAM, that is not only timely, but
supprising.
UNEMPLOYMENT
i
(Continued From Page 1)
of conversion have forced their
bids too high. Placing more de
fense work in the industry admit
tedly will not be easy. Half the
firms employ fewer than 25 work
ers and obviously arc bfest equip
ped to handle only smaller sub
contracts.
So far, our production program
and defense agencies have not
stressed the necessity for seeing
that defense work gets to these
smaller industries hard hit by the
shortages of scarce materials.
The government through ita
procurement powers has to make
certain that its prime contracts
are subcontracted to those indus
tries And areas where the metal
shortages have caused unemploy
ment. Only if this is done will
this problem be licked.
