O
Let's Talk
olitics
Yes, let's’ talk politics. We decided a long time ago in the Labor movement that our strength on the
economic front alone was not sufficient to win the kind of security which all of us need and all of us deserve. You
just couldn't negotiate better housing with the boss. You just couldn't solve the problems of the Taft-Hartley act,
price control, inflation, rent control or improved social security benefits across the collective bargaining table. So
we got into politics. We set up the CIO's Political Action Comimittee, better known as PAC. We set it up be-
cause ‘Labor had. a purpose and a political program. :
And we went to-work with our PAC, We went to work with a great deal, of determination. We decided
went into the UE offices at 301 Liberty St. this Monday.
that if Labor was to become a truly powerful social force in America, we had to have in the legislative halls of
the nation people who were ‘ - :
Frank Kriss, James: Cavey and®Fred Kelley, as they appeared
By 1:00 p.m. UE attorney Perlin had already rushed to
court to seek aidelay in the investigation.
A referee was appointed by the Court to superin-
tend and direct the inspection. After many delays
_ books and papers.
ous "ET Refuse to Answer" &
_ The UE began producing the books and papers.on
a piece-meal basis. Joe Whitbeck and Emil Radosevich
(Sentner's brother-in-low] attempted to delay the inspec-
tion. Time and again, when asked to produce certain
records, or when. questioned, Radosevich would argue
against bringing those records or: would say, in answer
to questigns: ''l refuse to answer any questions."
The UE introduced a rotation system for their rep-
resentatives. First, Radosevich would be there; then
Perlin; then). Whitbeck. Very soon after the inspection
began, it could be seen that we had here the identical
strategy as that practiced on Judge Medina at Foley
Square. Does the UE.here also feel guilty?
‘Referee Stops Stall
On the third day of the inspection, the accountants
made a plea to the Referee to clear the room of the UE
interferers. The Referee was quick ‘to recognize ‘the
justice of the request and granted the motion. immedi-
ately. Work on the books was stepped up for a few
minutes. Then, in came one of the UE attorneys and
made some excuse about having to be away for a while
and asked the Referee to allow Radesovich, who is not
a lawyer, to act as UE supervisor in his place. By -this
time, the Referee had had enough of Radosevich and
told the lawyer ‘he was refusing his request because
Radosevich would wrangle and interfere with the work.
From 10:00 a.m. to 11:25 a.m., Radosevich stalled
“about-bringing in UE records. Perlin had been told the”
evening before exactly what records were needed’ for
the third morning. He wrote down the list dictated by.
Gus Gomprecht, one of the IUE auditors. At 10:00 a.m, -
created by’ bickering and stalling by the UE attorney,
_ the referée ordered the UE ‘to produce the required «
at a recent organizational meeting.
Flip Flop Continues
. The cartoon on the first page
of the Electrical Union News
was a most interesting one. It
showed the miners refusing to
‘work without a contract, and
defying the vicious Taft-Hartley
act. It's true of course that all
of us are in complete support
of the miners in their struggle
for better security. These work-
ers who struggle for a living
under the most hazardous work-
ing conditions are entitled to all
they can get from one of the
most selfish groups of owners
in American industry. The |UE-
ClO ‘supports their efforts in
the same manner that the CIO
has ALWAYS supported their
struggles for a better level of
living.
Forgot Miners
We want to point out, how-
ever, that the UE, on this ques-
tion, continues its policy of
“flip, flop’. It wasn't too long -
ago that the communist part
completely supported by @&
UE top officials, attacked J
L. Lewis as a Labor ''renegade’.
The line then-was to smear John
L. and forget the problems of
the miners . . | GE workers re-
member, even though UE of-

contributed $500,000 to the
miners to assist them in the

struggle ahead, We submit that
the miners’ kids will get more
‘nourishment out of that money
‘than they will out of the UE's
cartoon,
Radosevich asked for the identical list, saying that Perlin
was in New York. He didn't dare to say that he didn't
have the list Perlin took the night before. "
"What About Bank Books?" ;
All this time, the UE attorneys were running out of
the room:and. back, on orders of the Referee, to get

But where was the UE during
all this. Let's look at 1948. Dur-
ing that year we had a job to
do. We rallied around: Presi-

gram. We rallied around that
program because it held out
real hope for America, The
forces of Labor worked hard to
assure the election of Truman,
of those who backed Labor's

where in sight. The UE which
spoke in.angry terms about the
Taft-Hartley act, pursued a role

the UE knew all this. And the
plain and simple fact is that it

Because together with. the
communist party, the UE does
not want to see a happy, a
prosperdus nation developed in
America. The UE together with
the communist party, knows that
its best chance to ‘take power
in America is‘ through another
depression, through another
period during which misery and
hunger visit the people of the
nation. For it is in such periods
that the communists thrive. And
make no mistake about it, the
UE is the hand maiden of the
communist party.
Don't Count on UE

done about rent control, hous- _
ing, the minimum wage law and

Labor did well in the 1948 elec.
tions despite the sabotage of

politics, and let's do something

ON THE UE.
Here's What We Me i
Back in. 1948, Bill Murphy ran
for Congress in the 3Ist district,
Bill's program was a labor pro<
gram. He was dedicated to the
repeal of the Taft-Hartley act,
to increasing the minimum wage
law, to better housing and to
everything else Labor stood for
including the Marshall Plan.
Murphy lost that election.
* * *
And in a large measure, he
lost that election because the
UE backed a man by the-name
of Andrew Peterson who had
failed to, beat Murphy in the
Democratic primary, but who
was run on the ALP. line by the
UE BECAUSE HE WAS COM-
MITTED AGAINST THE MAR:
SHALL PLAN.
It wasn't only Murphy who
lost that election. YOU, the GE
worker lost that election be-
cause the UE made possible the
election of Bernard Kearney,
who did not go to Washington
prepared to fight for the kind
of legislation which you and
your kids need.
* * *
That, specifically, is the poli-
tical role of the UE, They talk
in loud voices about fighting
for your needs, but the needs
of Russia to sabotage the Mar
shall Plan came: first in 1948;
and: those needs will come first
anytime the law is laid down.

Justi what does an honest
local spend for lost time and
organizational expenses?
That’s.a question that lots-of
GE workers asked in recent
weeks when they saw the ex-
horbitant bills paid by UE local
301. UE spent about 38% of
“its total income last year on
“lost with UE's time” and "“or-
ganization" expenses.. That is,
the total of both items amount:
ed to 38% of all income.

The steel local at the Ameri-
can Locomotive plant spent
13° of its income on the same
items, If UE had spent the same
roportion of monies, it. would
pave cost the UE local $29,000
instead of $86,000.00 ....a
nite saving to the membership
of $57,000.00.

It is possible, of course, that
someone made the discovery .
thai in adelition to its digestive

coated propaganda, And while
no one expecis anyone to pay
for propaganda, it is an indis-
putable fact that in this world
of ours sugar is a fairly costly
commodity, which no one in his
right mind gives away for
nothing.
PENSION PATTERN
The Philco Radio Co. in-
informed. IUE Local IG! officials
recently that its contribution to
the pension func the first week ~
of 1950 amounted to. $13,000
or more than one-third of the
total amount needed for over
100 workers eligible to retire in
1950. .
of * *x
The company has been pay-
ing at the rate of 8l/> cents an
hour for every hour worked
since Jan. 1, 1950. The Philco
plan is the pattern for the IUE
Pension Program and is dite.
ferent from all known industrial
plans because it provides sev-
erance pay and death benefit
as well as maximum pensions.
Chandler
Keep Baseball Here
Turning from the more seri-
ous side of-life for a moment:
the Executive Board of Local
30] IVE-CIO passed a resolu-
tion asking Baseball Commis-
sioner Chandler to keep base-
ball in Schenectady, The resolu-
lion which was passed unani-
mously was decided upon as a
result of the. insistence of Tom
McCaffery owner of the Al-
bany. baseball club that the
Schenectady Blue Jays of the,
Canadian-American League be
- forbidden the right to play ball
because such play would con-
stitute an infringement of the
territorial rights of the Albany
club.
The resolution, a copy of
which was also sent to MeCaf-
fery as well as fo Pele Mc-
Nearney; owner cf the Blue
Jays, asked the retention of the |
franchise on the grounds that
the GE workers in particular and
the public’ of Schenectady jin
general were entitled to retain —
a team in this city, particularly
since that team .was very weil
supported at home. The Blue»
