SECTION 1 THE COURIER-JOURNAL, LOUISVILLE, KY. SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 11, 1947. Railroads File 3-Day Notices Of 10 Pet. Freight-Rate Boosts Mai'tin Declares Private Enterprise Should Assist In Rebuilding Europe 12 'j per cent effective on one day's notice to maintain the rata relationship with transcontinental railroad competition. These operators take the position that because of the lower water rate by way of the canal, a 122 per cent adjustment is required to keep in force th relative difference between water and rail charges after the rail rates go up 10 per cent.

The boosts Monday will apply to all freight except coal, coke, and iron ore. These commodities will take increases from 10 to 11 cents a ton, amounting to less than 10 per cent. Salt Lake City, Oct. 10 (JP) Private enterprise must be enlisted in the task of rebuilding Europe, Representative Joseph W. Martin, Speaker of the House of Representatives, told a Western Republican conference tonight.

"This enormous job of rebuilding Europe cannot be financed entirely from the United States Treasury," Martin said. "We must enlist the aid of private sources willing to expand venture capital in rebuilding industries. With Government support, private enterprise can reduce the burden upon the American taxpayer and substantially cut Government costs." Martin spoke at a conference attended by Republican Party leaders from 11 Western states. The session, continuing through tomorrow, was expected to draft a statement of the Western Republicans' views on problems affecting their region. Discussion of presidential possibilities was banned from the conference agenda.

National Republican Chairman B. Carroll Reece at the opening conference session called for leadership that would guide this country safely through the "perilous years just ahead." It is the "manifest destiny" of the Republicans, Reece said, to provide that leadership. Reece shared the speaking platform with Governor Ralph F. Gates of Indiana. The Midwest State executive urged election of a Republican President in 1948, asserting that such action is necessary to "once more make the voice of this nation strong in the councils of the world." Young Republicans, headed by their national president, Ralph E.

Becker, Port Chester, N. conducted the afternoon program, considering at round-table discussions nearly a dozen phases of organization and campaigning. Washington, Oct. 10 (JP) The general 10 per cent freight-rate increase authorized by the Interstate Commerce Commission last Tuesday will become effective next Monday on all railroads and a few water carriers. The railroads today jointly fulfilled the requirement for three days' notice to the general public prior to collecting the higher charges.

They filed their revised rate schedules with the I.C.C. and posted them at freight depots throughout the nation. Domestic water carriers received the same authority, but only a couple of coastal shipping companies filed their new schedules today in time to have a Monday' effective date apply. However, shipping companies operating between the Atlantic and Coasts and between the ulf ports and the Pacific Coast, both by way of the Panama Canal, petitioned for special authority to make rate increases of Ohio PnB- Baltimore I.T.U.

Steel Way Farm Paris, Ky. Minimum Wage For Farmers Hit By Senator Thye Washington, Oct. 10 (JP) The National Farmers Union proposed to a Senate agriculture subcommittee today that farmers be assured a minimum annual wage of at least $1,000 a year. That idea drew sharp questions from Senator Thye who is a farmer. "I'm afraid it might encourage a lot of farmers to spend their time fishing," Thye commented.

Russell Smith, representative for the N.F.U., proposed the guaranteed minimum farm wage as part of a long-range revision of existing federal farm programs. Smith said that farmers who comply voluntarily with the Government's conservation and soil program should be assured at least the same annual wage as an average factory or industrial worker. Baltimore, Oct. 10 (JP) Baltimore Local 12 of the International Typographical Union today answered the first unfair-labor-practice complaint ever filed against a union with an assertion the Taft-Hartley Law is unconstitutional because it imposes "involuntary servitude." A National Labor Relations Board hearing is scheduled here next Tuesday on a complaint by the N.L.R.B.'s general counsel that the International and its local refused to bargain collectively with the Baltimore Graphic Arts League, an association of 22 printing firms. The action arose from a recently adopted policy of the I.T.U.

not to sign contracts but to work instead under posted "conditions of employment." The policy is considered a means of avoiding the Taft-Hartley Law's ban on closed shops. (In San Francisco a resolution calling upon President Truman to recall Robert Denham as general counsel of the N.L.R.B. was introduced at the A.F.L. convention by the I.T.U. The resolution will be acted upon next week by the delegates.) In its answer to the N.L.R.B.

complaint, the union today also i charged the Taft-Hartley Law is unconstitutional because: 1. It deprives union members of their right to contract freely on a closed shop, union secur- ity, health and welfare funds, i and check-off of dues. 2. It obliges unions to file financial statements and sign non-Communist affidavits in order to use the but imposes no equivalent obligation upon employers. 3.

It conditions rights of persons "upon the beliefs of others over which they have no control and (conditions) federal rights and access to Government agtrf-cies upon arbitrary and discriminatory classification based on political belief.

Tattersall Barn KENTUCKY HEREFORD ASSOCIATION Ward W. Boyd, Sole Manager, Dover, Ky. Taft Terms G.O.P. Outlook 'Even Better' Cincinnati, Oct. 10 (JP) Senator Robert A.

Taft sees the pennants of victory flying for the Republican Party in the presidential election next year. Back home fro man extended tour of the West, where he studied the sentiment of the voters not only from a personal standpoint, but toward the party as a whole, the Ohioan said today: "If the election. had been he'ld last year, the Republicans would have won and the Republican outlook now is even better than it was in 1946." Taft is expected to announce before the end of the month whether he will be a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. Party men and women who followed his toui said he had gained strength wherever he went. The senator expressed pleasure over the way he had been received, but he did not discuss his personal plans with reporters.

He has no speaking engagements before next Thursday, when he will address the Ohio Federation of Womens Clubs in Columbus. O'Neil charged also that the Soviets were planning a sneak attack on the United States and other Governments from behind their Iron Curtain. His was the second attack of the day on the Ohio senator. Senator Langer N. long a critic of Taft, charged he was among those Republicans responsible for failure of the last Congress to enact improved social security, minimum wage, health, and housing legislation.

Legion Backing Sought. In an appeal to the A.F.L.. to abandon its historic opposition to peacetime military training, O'Neil said: "The senior senator from Ohio has an extraordinary record of being wrong on military affairs." He quoted from one of Taft's speeches on the Western tour and reminded the A.F.L. that "he is the same fellow who voted against selective service just five months before Pearl Harbor." Universal military training is the only practical method for providing the fighting strength necessary to resist the Russian expansion plan, O'Neill said. The new Red fascism, he warned, is far more dangerous than nazism, fascism, and nippon-ism because "more fiendish cunning is to be found in the long-range planning of the Kremlin dictators than Hitler, Mussolini, and Tojo were capable of all put together." Langer, who sided with Senator Morse Ore.) in opposition to enactment of the Taft-Hartley Law, told reporters after he left the speakers' stand that the group of Republican senators referred to in his speech as "friends of labor" would make an intensive fight to repeal Taft-Hartley Law.

The A.F.L. briefly suspended its convention business today to pay tribute to Joseph A. Padway, federation general council, who suffered a fatal stroke Wednesday in the midst of an attack on the Taft-Hartley Law. Padway's body, flanked by floral wreaths and with candles burning at the foot of his coffin, lay in state at the front of the darkened convention hall during memorial services.

New York, Oct. 10.
