For the Record

The Supreme Court has refused to review a year-old ruling by Pennsylvania’s Labor Department that Westinghouse’s unwillingness to accept government mediation amounted to a lockout and, therefore, entitled certain Westinghouse workers to as much as thirty weeks of unemployment benefits…. Labor Secretary Mitchell favors legislation requiring full financial disclosure of union welfare and pension funds as a deterrent to racketeering…. Violations of the minimum wage law have doubled since minimum wages were increased from 75 cents to one dollar an hour. Even before the increase, half the firms checked were found to be violating the law.

The number of civilian employees in the Executive Branch of the government rose by nearly 50,000 in 1956…. Under the various welfare programs already on the books 37 million people (21.8 per cent of the total population) receive monthly checks from the government…. for those who say the Budget must be cut, but ask where the cuts must be applied, the Hoover Commission has an answer. In its analysis of the ’58 Budget it points out twenty-five places where appropriations can be slashed for a saving of over one billion dollars.
