DAILY FAVORITE Bonham, Tetas, Tu fiy, Feb. 15, 1955 EPSON iH WASHINGTON Election Results Indicate Labor Vote IsTnfluential BY PETER EDSON NEA Correspondent WASHINGTON the first time. Republican analysts arc ready to concede thdt the influence of the union labor vote and the activities of organized labor's political workers aro an important factor in election results. Tt is conceded that the so-called labor vote was influential in many candidates who this month took office as state governors and members of the new Congicss. In no case can be said that all-out.

pro-labor members control aay state legislature or any state's delegation to Congress But there are freely expressed Republican opinions that if present trends continue union labor control of the Democratic Party or even a I Labor Party are possible For the Republicans, this poses a problem of how to win more union labor support. Analyses of last elections, looking primarily at the union iabor vote influence, are still not yet completed But the highlights are so readily discernible that they show- a pattern S. SENATE RACES IN WHICH the labor vote held at least the balance of power, gave victory to the following Democrats Paul H. Douglas of Illinois. Patrick McNamara of Michigan.

Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota. James E. Murray of Montana and Richard Neuberger of Oregon. American Federation of League for Political Education has recently revised upward the number of friendly senators and representatives elected in 1952. It now lists 182 instead of 1 pro- labor congressmen and 41 instead of 40 pro-labor senators.

AFL-LLPE points out that 60 per cent of the Senate candidates and 56 per cent of'the House candidates it endorsed were elected Putting it another way. 18 out of 30 endorsed Senate candidates won. and 152 out of 282 endorsed House candidates won This is seen as considerable advance from the 80th Congress, when organized labor could claim only 83 friends in the House and 25 in the Senate IN GOVERNORSHIP RACES, the union labor vote is given the election of such candidates as Averell Harriman in New York. Abraham A RibicofT New Jersey. Mennen Williams in Michigan and George Leader in Pennsylvania.

In all. the Democrats took 27 gain of but not all these can be attributed to a labor vote. Similarly, in state legislature races, one preliminary count indicates that the Democrats took a total of 545 seats away from Republicans. and lost only six Just what the labor vote influence was in these results is still under study. The general trend, however, is considered significant.

While only 16 mUlion out of the 64 million workers in the S. civilian iabor force belong to organized unions, this minority has learned gradually how to throw- its political weight around most effectively in national, state and local elections. THE CONGRESS OF Industrial Organizations Political Action Committee a whipping boy for Republican campaign orators in the Franklin D. Roosevelt era. But CIO-PAC was not taken seri- ously as a political force nor was it considered too effective.

When President Eisenhower was elected in 1952. it was inter- a preted as proof that there was no labor vote Today CIO-PAC spokesmen say it was the wives of many union members who I switched votes and helped elect Eisenhower. In 1954 elections, it is believed most of the union labor vote went Democratic again. An important factor was unemployment Of the 21 House seats which Democrats took away from Republicans, 18 were in labor-surplus areas. 9 Mrs.
