When pinions r expressed LAWN MOWER WITH Still on Top fiery Walter the United Auto Workers union, numbering some million members, could be expected to hold firm in any demands made for wage increases or social benefits. BRUSHING aside token opposition from UAW's left wing elements, Reuther was elected to a third term as UAW president by a y majority. The voting which reelected Reuther was a new triumph for the right-winforces in the union which catapulted him into office in 1946 and rewarded him with control of the other international offices and the board at the 1947 convention. His new term will expire in April, 1951. UAW DELEGATES moved into the election of top officers after hearing Leon Keyserling, of President Truman's council of economic advisers, tell them that "as a general proposition the kind of wage policy which will help maintain full employment in this country, and which will maintain our economy on stable levels is one which adds to consumer purchasing power from year to year because we have the capacity to produce more goods from year to year. The auto workers union's big fight was with Ford motor company which, in opposing proposed wage rates, offered to peg wages at present levels for a given period, g regardless of what developments brought about. FORD contended the cost of living has gone down and there was no justification for pay raises, basing the argument on the UAW contract which called for pay hikes as the increased. Reuther opposed that line of reasoning, contending that the union's economists have proved, by a surcan vey, that most industries afford wage increases now. at the helm, top-heav- g J I ' .

PHILLIPS Clark Agitated While President Truman was delighting business generally with his abandonment of any proposals, U.S. Attorney General Tom Clark was agitated over the growth of "big" business and urging curbs on "concentration of economic power." CLARK APPEARED very much disturbed by the situation and let go both barrels in his shots at big business as he testified in a investigation into monopolistic practices. He termed business monoply an "economic blackjack" and urged that the federal government get busy doing something about it. He told a house judiciary subcommittee that most people were victims of three erroneous assumptions. He listed them as: 1. Assumption that competition continues to thrive as long as there are at least two or three or four in the field. 2. Assumption that the bigger the producer the better the quality of the goods and the cheaper the price to the public. 3. Assumption that companies become big because they deserve to be big in other words, that they outdistance their competitors because they do a better job, render a greater service, or furnish bet- "-- : ...
