I ask permission, Mr. Chairman, to have the entire newspaper article inserted in the record.

Senator MURRAY. What is the pleasure of the committee!

Senator PEPPER. I want to make the observation that Mr. Goldberg is general counsel of the CIO. I have no objection to this newspaper report going into the record. We cannot always assume that everything that is printed in the newspapers is true, unhappily, but for what it is worth it is all right with me to put it in the record.

But I think the best evidence of the attitude of the American Federation of Labor will be when their respective spokesmen appear here. Senator MORSE. May I say to my good friend from Florida: In lawyer-like fashion I am trying to lay a foundation for the questions I will ask the AFL official when he arrives, and that is why I want this in the record.

Senator PEPPER. I have no doubt that the Senator will have a good many predicates well laid.

Senator MURRAY. If there is no objection, the matter will be inserted in the record and it will be subject to further examination by the committee.

AFL WILL STAY NEUTRAL ON CAMPAIGN TO SHIFT CONCILIATION AGENCY

(By James Y. Newton)

MIAMI, February 3.--The American Federation of Labor probably will maintain a neutral position in Secretary of Labor Tobin's drive to recapture for the Labor Department the Federal dispute-handling agency, AFL officials indicated today.

That news comes as a blow to the advocates of a return to the Department of the independent Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, since the big labor federation in the past always has insisted that the agency should be part of Mr. Tobin's domain.

Provision is made in the administration substitute bill for the Taft-Hartley Act, now being aired by the Senate Labor Committee, for transfer of the Mediation Service. It was made independent by the Taft-Hartley Act, and Cyrus Ching, in testifying on the labor bill, asked Congress to keep it so.

GOOD ARGUMENTS CITED

"We have agreed not to take a position in the matter of the Conciliation Service," AFL Vice President Dan W. Tracy, former Under Secretary of Labor, told a reporter. "There are good arguments either way in the matter, and we just do not want to be involved in it."

It was understood that Secretary Tobin, through associates, had sought AFL support in his effort to persuade Congress to allow the Labor Department to take over direction of dispute and strike mediation machinery.

That was one of the problems before the AFL executive council as it finally began study and consideration today of the new labor bill.

Most of the Federation leaders favor the labor bill as a whole, although there is general concern that tough restrictions on unions may be tacked on before the measure has taken its course through Congress.

$1 MINIMUM WAGE URGED

Some council members still were awaiting interpretations and opinions of their attorneys before stating their views on the new bill. However, it was expected that the AFL's official position will be made clear at the end of today's council session.

Yesterday the AFL advocated that Congress go beyond the requests of President Truman's Fair Deal in the matter of social-security legislation, Federal aid to education, and increasing the minimum wage.

The statutory minimum wage should be raised from the present 40 cents an our to at least $1, rather than 75 cents as asked by the administration's bills, he council declared. In the matter of Federal aid to education, the AFL said hat the proposed $300,000,000 fund is not enough for an effective program. It hat ruggested a fund of at least $1,000,000,000.

Senator MURRAY. Mr. Goldberg, you may proceed.

STATEMENT OF ARTHUR J. GOLDBERG-Resumed

Mr. GOLDBERG. Mr. Chairman, when the committee recessed early this evening I gave my name and affiliation to the committee. That was the shortest speech I ever made on any occasion. I assume that if I finished right there it might have been the most productive speech. Ishall, however, repeat and start again.

My name is Arthur J. Goldberg. I am general counsel for the CIO, and as I am general counsel for that union I was surprised and amazed-I cannot say I was disturbed, because it is not accurate-to have the Senator from Ohio refer to, as an undemocratic union, the United States Steelworkers of America.

I shall have occasion in the course of my remarks to make reference to that in some greater detail, but since that has been injected into the proceeding I should like, with the permission of the Chair, at this time to offer for the record and to make available to the Senators, copies of the constitution and bylaws of the United Steelworkers of America.

With the permission of the Chair I will hand those to the chairman and ask that they be made a part of the record of this proceeding. Senator TAFT. Does that include the manual for the trial, discipline, and expulsion of members also?

Mr. GOLDBERG. It does, Senator. It is the document that you have in your hands. I do not know whether you have the 1948 edition. Senator TAFT. This is the 1948 edition, on the basis of which I made the statement. But I did not make the statement that you attribute

to me.

Mr. GOLDBERG. I may have misheard it. In any event I take pride in that great union of which Mr. Murray is president, and for which I am general counsel.

I

may not, in my pride, have heard you accurately.

Senator MURRAY. It may be received in the record.
