UNCLE SAM’S PROPERTY
The following editorial is reprinted from the
New York City Daily News:
“The House Government OperationsCommittee
has taken an inventory of all the property the Federal
Government owns. These holdings add up in value to
the enormous figure of $265 billion — including 778
million acres of land (one-fifth of the nation’s area)
valued at $72 billion1.
“Not only that, but in the last year the Govern
ment has acquired $2 billion worth of property that
it didn’t have a year ago.
“If this keeps up, Uncle Sam some day may have
enough property to liquidate the national debt, now
standing at about $290 billion—assuming, of course,
the debt doesn’t increase faster than Uncle Sam’s
grabbing of property.”
“America’s first and greatest need is not greater
armies; it is not a stronger navy; it is not a more ef
ficient air force. America’s primary need is more and
better Sunday Schools.” —General John J. Pershing.

AMERICAN MINING CONGRESS CALLS FOR
CHECK ON GROWING LABOR MONOPOLY
I
LAS VEGAS, Nev., UP) — Am
erican Mining Congress officials
Thursday warned that the nation
al economy will succumb to labor
socialism unless what it called the
growth of labor monopoly power
j is checked by realistic congres
j sional action.
i In a resolution presented at the
I 1960 mining show, the mining
group said the privileges and im
munities granted to labor unions
by federal law are proving a
strong deterrent to the free enter
prise system.
The resolution, introduced dur
ing the third day of the meeting,
charged that the 86th Congress
has been diverted from dealing
with the problem of labor mono
poly because of its concern with
problems of racketeering and cor
ruption in labor unions.
“Racketeering and corruption,”
the resolution stated, “both highly
deplorable, are but symptoms of
labor monopoly power. Far great
er consequences of that power are
the economic enslavement of the
industrial wage earners of Amer
ica through coercion and compul
sion.”
The resolution urged uprooting
of the sources of labor monopoly
power and called upon Congress
for the following legislation:
(1) Application of the principles
of the anti-trust laws to labor
unions (2) Prohibition of compul
sory unionism in any form (3) Re
moval of union immunity from
injunctions in federal courts (4)
Effective prohibition of mass
picketing and (5) Effective pro
hibition of the use of union funds
for political activity.
The statement also opposed en
actment of federal legislation set
ting minimum standards for the
amount and duration of benefits
to be paid under state employ
ment compensation laws, charging
that federal control in that area
is “a cornerstone of labor social
ism.”
In another resolution, Mining
Congress officials said that safety
within the mining industry is of
such critical importance that the
prevention of personal injuries
must continue to be a first con
sideration in all mining opera
tions.
They charged individual mining
companies with the primary re
sponsibility for promoting mine
safety through education and
other means, claiming that the in
dustry itself is best qualified to
meet and overcome its safety
problems.”
