Labor Uncoopera
tive; Congress Must
Write Own Ticket
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Senator
Ellender <D.-La.>, declared today
that Congress must “take the bull
by the horns and write its own
ticket” on labor legislation be
cause union leaders “are not co
operating.” “I have been most dis
appointed by their showing.” said
Ellender, a Senate labor commit
tee member whose views in the
past often have coincided with
those of union spokesmen.
The Louisiana lawmaker told a
reporter the committee expected
but got no aid from AFL pres:dent
William Green, CIO chief Philip
Murray and United Auto Workers
president Walter Reuther.
They and other union officials
sharply assailed most pending leg
islation in testifying before the
committee last week.
The Senate labor group has
more union representatives on top
when it resumes hearings tomor
row.
Ellender said one of the things
Congress seems likely to do is re
vise the act “to restore free
speech” to employers.

then the only thing for Congress to
do is take the bull by the horns

Sen. Ball Says
CIO Advocates
Socialism
WASHINGTON, (A5) — Waite*
Reuther told the Senate labor com
mittee today that American indu -
i try must raise wages “substantial
! ly” to maintain purchasing powe*
l but Senator Ball (R.-Minn.> sal '
i the CIO leader is advocating so
[ cialism.
Ball told Reuther, CIO United
: Auto Workers president, that what
he wanted was to extend into
peacetime the government control
imposed during the war.
“And that’s a socialized econ
omy,” Ball said. “It’s socialism
pure and simple.”
“That’s not what I’m advocating
at all,” Reuther replied.
Chairman Taft <R.-Ohio» de
clared that what “ we all want is
lower prices, and you’re not going
to get them by raising wages
again.”
Reuther said wages must be
raised to balance the "wage-price
profit equation.” He said profits
now are highest in history, where
as wages “in terms of their pur
chasing power have been declining
steadily since the war ended.
Taft said the way to balance
things is to let industry bring
prices down.’'
“But how long must the Amer
ican worker wait?” Reuther asked,
as he exchanged heated remarks
with committee members.
