Getting at the Real Trouble

Secretary Goldberg reportedly has
warned the United Steelworkers that
in the event of a walkout when Con-
tracts with the steel industry expire
this summer, the Goverment will not
hesitate to use the Taft-Hartley Act’s
strike-delaying provisions. And fur-

Whether a more tightly unified,
still more prosperous Western Europe
would in fact steadily lessen its inter-

matter of guesswork.

earnest of support.
So long as the United States and
Britain combine to sustain the United

possible and permit one union to tie
up a whole industry, such as steel.
There are now in committee four
measures having as their basic aim
the ending of the monopoly power of
unions. That power is what makes pos-
sible industry-wide bargaining and,
hence, nation-wide strikes. Sigificant-
ly. one of the bills is sponsored by Sen-
ator McClellan of Arkansas, who has
done so much to expose abuses of or-
ganized labor’s power.
Two points relating to this propos-
ed legislation deserve esiphasis. One
is that no bill would impose upon
unions restrictions that do not already
apply to industry. The right of labor
to strike would be preserved, but it
that the countries of the Atlantic com-
munity would consciously — or other-
wise—let the peace agency languish.
The Asiatic observer’s viewpoint
may well reflect more fear than prob-
ability, since the new lands on the
other continents know the U.N. is their
special shield and -know they cannot
hold it up without big-power help.
Perhaps their best assurance is the
evident fact that the big powers them-
selves—possibly excepting France —
recognize this situation.
The Western powers might get
along without the U.N. But their sin-
gle or joint efforts to assist and pro-
tect the independent development of

union by exercising^ that right to bring
about an emergency affecting the en-
tire nation.
The other is that none of these
measures contains restrictions that
would be new even to unions. For la-
bor organizations did not always pos-
sess the monopoly power they have
now. During almost 50 years prior to
1941, when the Supreme Court ruled
that union activities in connection with
labor disputes were immune from an-
ti-trust laws, labor unions were cov-
ered by anti-monopoly and restraints
of trade legislation. But over the past
two decades a double standard has
existed under which unions are per-
mitted to wield monopoly power while
industry continues to be closely regu-
lated by the anti-trust laws.
The Administration may not, of
course, choose to look in the direction
of such pending legislation for applic-
able remedies.' But the public should
be aware that they exist. And that
there are members* of Congress who
realize, as the steel talks approach,
just where the real trouble is.

Bible Thought for Today
The Spirit of the Lord came upon David
from that day forward.—I. Samuel 16:13.
The day of Decision to be God’s person
and to do His will can be the turning point
toward blessing and happiness.
Be ye holy; for I am holy. — I. Peter
1:16.
Holiness means wholesomeness, health,
purity, vitality, intrinsic genuineness. It comes
from God through our disposition to do His
will. ^

Minimum Wage Bid Clues
Nature of Farm Program
By PETER EDSON
Washington CorrR*p«M»d«nt
Newspaper Entarpriie Ann.
Washington, (NEA) >— On the same day Department ofl
Labor announced that average earnings of U.S. factory work-1
ers have risen to $104 a week—$110 in the durable goods indm-l
tries—President’ Kennedy’s Committee on Migratory Labor au-l
nounced support for the principle of extending minimum w*go|
legislation to American agriculture. u
Farm workers are not now covered by U.S. minimum waga|
laws which call for raising the rate from $1 to $1.25 an hour-
$50 for a 40-hour week—by 1965.
The principal protection which American farm laborers now I
have is that, before foreign migrant farm labor can be broughtl
into the United States under contract, it must be determined|
that there are no American workers available for jobs at the j
same pay and working conditions.
The average U.S. pigrant fram w orker receives $1,016 a I
year and the nonmigrant, domestic farm worker gets $1,143 a I
year, according to Labor Department statistics. This is foil
roughly a half year’s seasonal harvest labor. The figures include|
from $200 to $250 nonfarm earnings.
Actually, the wages paid United States farm labor are now I
said to run between 30 cents an hour in Arkansas to $1.50 an I
hour on the more highly developed farms in Califomia. Raising!
the minimum to anything like $1.25 an hour will be resisted by I
the big farm organizations and individual farmers who maintain I
they can’t pay it at present farm prices. Major shifts in. the farmj
economy will be required to put it intp effect.
This is jukt what is proposed by the President’s migrant j
labor committee in the 14-point program it has recommended |
to the President and which he has endorsed.
In addition to House passage of the five migrant labor bills I
passed by the Senate hist year, the program inllsYor day carol
for children of migrants, better housing, unemployment insur-1
ance, special food programs and more rural area development j
to give farm labor industrial jobs.
Both Secretary of Labor Arthur Goldberg and Secretary I
of Agriculture Orville Freon'an took part in drawing up the
Kennedy administration program and endorsed it fully. But
Freeman observed that, ‘‘To bring some of these things about
will take increase in farm income."

Hard to Do Without
A group of foreign correspondents
long resident in Washington seems
most interested in early 1962 in Presi-
dent Kennedy’s attentions to the Eu-
ropean Common Market and his reaf-
firmation of faith in the United Na-
tions.
A sizable panel of these men, rep-
resenting three continents, reached
the net judgment that both agencies
merit wide support for their contri-
butions to world stability. One Asi-
atlf. however, saw possible conflict VS
between the two. Ufrw mouth. <ca»h in Advance) *2.85; .lx month, (cub

Ample evidence appears to sup-
port this Asiatic’s conclusion that some
The budget contains many
expenditures for projects in
Texas, most of which represent
years of planning and work by
local groups and by their elect-
ed representatives. The list of
Texas projects is a long one,
but it includes for this year:
pasas County; $1.5 Million for
the Somerville Reservoir in Bur-
leson County; $500,000 for the
Bardwell Reservoir between
Waxahachie and Ennis; $4.5
Million for the great Mata-
gorda Ship Channel, which will
make Port Lavaca a deepwater intend to do everything I can
and Galveston Counties. Under
the reclamation program, $10
Million will go for the great
Canadian River Project in Hut-
chinson County which, through
its pipelines, -will serve cities
in the Panhandle and South
Plains; $2,770,000 for the res-
ervoir and dam at San Angelo,
Tom Green County, and a total
of $3,749,000 for the Mercedes
and the La Feria division of the
lower Rio Grande rehabilita-
tion projects.
All of this adds up to more
jobs in Texas, more water con-
served for domestic use, more
water for irrigation, more wa-
ter for municipalities, more
water for industrial use in
Texas, better flood control,
safer homes, crops and pas-
tures and increased trade for
Texas.
Many local groups in Texas
are continuing to work unceas-
ingly for the worthwhile proj-
ects they are supporting and I
stock, dairy, poultry, truck and all the others.
The average figures for all of them showed a net return
of only 85 cents an hour to the farm operator. This is $51 for a
60-hour week, or $2,652 a year.
Freeman says this represents a return of only 4 to 5 per
cent on an investment of around $50,000. Nonfarm small busi-
nesses are said to make more.
The Kennedy administration rural development programs
are intended to bring small industries into farm areas to give
farm families supplementary income.
The implication in all this is that farm Income is too low.
The conclusion is that farmers will have to make more fnoney
before they can pay higher wages. The deduction is that consum-
ers will have to pay more for farm products.
