Thursday, February 20, 1947 WASHINGTON As Seen By CONGRESSMAN JOHN PHILLIPS The Congress is beginning to operate like a smoother-running machine, so far as its committee work is concerned. This may not be what you read in the propaganda columns. Those boys complain, I see, that the Republicans have been here a month, and haven't yet corrected all the troubles of the past decade. I've been here for five opening Congresses, and it has usually been six weeks before we got going. The reorganization, the fewer committees, the end of duplications and multiple committee memberships, have already improved our work. Bills are moving along and soon will be on the floor. I begin to think we may really make the adjournment line of July 1st. The shorter time a legislative body is in session, the fewer headaches for the people generally. It is usually in those dragging weeks, towards the end, when members are tired, that poorer legislation is apt to be enacted. I wrote last week about committee appointments for the California delegation. This week I report, with enthusiasm, the improved coordination in the delegation. As one Los Angeles paper put it, "The voters took care of a number of prima donnas last year, and the veterans and new members have made it obvious that they propose to place the wel-fare of California and the west above individual advantage." That is apparent. In the four years I've been here the largest delegation meeting we had was 17 mem- to be considered a lot of money. That amount is FOUR TIMES the figure for 1939, and almost THREE TIMES the amount for 1940. Think that one over. 1940 was a war year; Winston Churchill was the "man of the year;" Denmark and Norway had fallen; the blitz; the war was coming, and we knew it. So the President asked for $13,200,000,000. 6½ billions covered all the regular departments. 1.6 billion for defense. 2½ BILLIONS FOR RELIEF. That was an interesting item, as late as 1940. You as taxpayers are entitled to know why the budget has jumped from 13 billions to 35½ billions in 8 years, and why it is the latter amount two years after the war has ended. I haven't space to discuss it now, but I'll give you one hint. I just discovered this one: OPA is a memory to you, but there are still 15,500 employees on the payroll, many of them with very little to do. There are still 22 publicity men, not even in the rent control sections. So when the various departments of the government begin to work on you to write your Congressman and tell him that some service will be wrecked if the requested appropriation is cut as much as one dollar, just smile a little and say that the present majority in the Congress has not intention of handicapping essential services, but that you know there are items you can get along without, and gladly. One Congressman cut this bit of humor from a middle school. I was reminded of this week. The House committee Education and Labor is holding hearings on labor conditions in Philadelphia produce market. I have written in this colloquial about these markets, Philadelphia and New York and others, we needed changes and improvements in outdated and outdated markets, are prevented by selfishness of property owners, a political situation, as in New York, or union leadership, at Philadelphia. The Marketing Committee was at one meeting I attended talk with produce men, property owners and labor leaders, a young man named Abe Goldberg told quite frankly, in an open meeting that if the proposed change in the market, planned to improve sanitary conditions, speed having and increase efficiency meant the loss of a job to single man, his union would fail the proposals. Let's see for a minute, from transcript of the hearings, how the heads of this union accept the responsibilities of their jobs. The market has been closed since January 15th. That said the businesses of 57 carlot receivers who handle "excess of $1000,000 annually" for the Philadelphia housewives and store This is in addition to about wholesale distributors, also affected. They serve a purchase area of 5 to 6 million people. Committee, two years ago, thought it important enough to send investigation committee to see we could help. The union demanded that employers force their employ- including office employees, to the union or be dismissed inst ornia delegation. This week I report, with enthusiasm, the improved coordination in the delegation. As one Los Angeles paper put it, "The voters took care of a number of prima donnas last year, and the veterans and new members have made it obvious that they propose to place the wel-fare of California and the west above individual advantage." That is apparent. In the four years I've been here the largest delegation meeting we had was 17 members; usually the meetings had 8 or 9 present. The first regular meeting of the delegation this session brought out 21 of our 23 members and one of the absentees was in California on committee business. I tired of seeing California pushed around by states which had delegations of two to four Congressmen. We have a well organized delegation now, under an able chairman, Welch of San Francisco. I thought to tell you something of how the Appropriations Committee works. That will wait. It seems like coming home to sit down and write after so many years, about a budget again. You will be interested in the national budget. The President asked for about $37,500,000,000. That used So when the various departments of the government begin to work on you to write your Congressman and tell him that some service will be wrecked if the requested appropriation is cut as much as one dollar, just smile a little and say that the present majority in the Congress has not intention of handicapping essential services, but that you know there are items you can get along without, and gladly. One Congressman cut this bit of humor from a middle-west house-organ, and put it in the Record: "Stay on the job and pay your taxes. The boys in the bureau in Washington are counting on you." I prefer the comment of the present chairman of the committee on Appropriations: "The elected Representatives of the people must and will take charge of the spending of the people's money." In discussing labor conditions, which are very much in the public mind at the moment, to judge from a Congressman's mail, there is a tendency to confuse a local or personal situation with the underlying principles of what could be called broadly the labor movement. The union demanded that employers force their employees including office employees, to the union or be dismissed instantly, and the alternative was close the store. Since the first impossible, the stores are closed. The matter is now in court. I interested in how officials of the union ran the union. The end testimony will be available in booklet form. It established the head of the union involved was a Mr. "Turk" Daniels head of the Haulers Association was a Mr. Fred Schlein. This ter association does most of hauling for the market. Mr. Gberg also suggested Mr. Schlein to the market operators as a business manager of their tributors association.

The House committee on legislation and Labor is holding talks on labor conditions in Philadelphia produce markets. We wrote in this column on these markets, Philadelphia New York and others, where changes and improvements in outdated and outmoded sets, are prevented by the necessity of property owners, or political situation, as in New York or union leadership, as in Philadelphia. To Philadelphia several times, the Marketing Committee went to one meeting I attended, to with produce men, property owners and labor leaders, a young named Abe Goldberg told me frankly, in an open meeting if the proposed changes in market, planned to improve safety conditions, speed handling and increase efficiency, at the loss of a job to a man, his union would fight proposals. It's seen for a minute, from the script of the hearings, just the heads of this union act the responsibilities of their The market has been closed January 15th.

To Merge Groups A merger of the Southern California Telephone company and the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company is soon to be made it was announced today, application having been made to the Public Utilities commission of the state of California for authorization for the move. "We have asked the Public Utilities commission for authorization to merge the companies to simplify our corporate structure," stated F. N. Rush, vice-president and general manager. "As is well known, the Southern California Telephone company has always been wholly owned by the Pacific company. Insofar as the public is concerned, the only change will be that of the name under which we do business," he said. which said he could not sell before a certain time. Hearing the testimony, I think it was a highly technical point. He had traded produce with a farmer, and then shipped some of the produce to his brother-in-law, another distributor. It is interesting now because of the "punishment" meted out to him, by the union. He was not permitted to go to his store until 3:30 A.M., or one half hour later than the others. Here is an American citizen, twenty-five years in business, who is told by a labor leader he can't go to his own store until a certain time; not can't sell, mind you, but can't be there. Now comes the high point: One of his friends, another car lot receiver, said to him: "Jack, why don't you get wise to yourself? You know what I done? I hired a labor consultant." He for nearly a quarter of a century. Surviving are his mother, Mrs. Alvina Bouslog of Anaheim, one step-sister, Mrs. Gertude Stall of Hynes, and two step-brothers, Earl Bouslog of Fullerton and John Bouslog of Compton. not permitted to go to his store until 3:30 A.M., or one half hour later than the others. Here is an American citizen, twenty-five years in business, who is told by a labor leader he can't go to his own store until a certain time; not can’t sell, mind you, but can’t be there. Now comes the high point: One of his friends, another carlot receiver, said to him: "Jack, why don’t you get wise to yourself? You know what I done? I hired a labor consultant." He asked, "Who's your labor consultant?" By now, you ought to guess the answer. It was Fred Schlein! So for $50 a year Mr. Schlein, who had been put in as manager of the Jobbers Association by Mr. Goldberg, (who was then the president and is not the secretary-treasurer of the union) and who was himself the head of the Haulers Association, the principal arm of the union, agreed to represent this jobber, in any controversy with Mr. Goldberg, Mr. Daniels, the present president of the union, OR HIM-SELF! It was just a little too thick for the House committee. I think a good airing will have healthy effects. I rise to remark however that this sort of thing, in cases like the above, makes it hard for union leaders who do not recognize their responsibilities, and cause the confusions between the individual cases and the broad aspects of the labor movement.
