CIO Cites Need For Plan
On Post-Defense Problems

The American people will never
stand for this. Sooner or later
they will step in and refuse TO let
matters work themselves out F."
What the Resources Board has
put into words for the vague fu-
ture. the modern labor movement
has put into action for the urgent
present.
Through economic and political
action il has gone far toward
maintaining the basis Of a stable
economy purchasing power OF
the workers. II long ago recog-
nized that such programs as that
put forth BY the Resources Board
are mere window dressing unless
some real force gets behind them
and demands action.
This time the nation has a far
better chance Of escaping post
war collapse because of the eX-
istence of a powerful and militant
labor movement alert to protect
the welfare OF the wage earners.
II has taken constant vigilance
by labor to maintain even mini
mum enforcement of social laws
such as the Wagner act. the Wage
Hour act. and other protective
legislation aimed to secure Amer
lea against another tragic eco
nomic tailspin. II sees today a new
tax bill moving toward enact
ment whose economic effect will
run directly contrary to the full
employment proposals of the Re-
sources Board experts.
And above all, labor believes that
II is not necessary to wait until IA
new economic crisis is upon MS
before taking constructive action
to avert IL. Proposals for improv-
ing the defense setup offered by
labor would go far to make as
painless rs possible the transition
from defense 70 a peace econ
omy

Labor people all over New YORK

out-sleuthing a couple of expert
sleuths assigned by Hoover TO tap

plant a photograph in his room at

Special Agent Evelle ]. Younger
and his colleague carried out their
instructions. For several weeks
they occupied an adjoining room.
while Bridges and score of
friends amused themselves by pro-
viding grist for the FBI files.

with field glasses and long-range
camera. Every act of the federal
agents was recorded in Goodel-
mans notes. accompanied by IL
Illustrations from Badgers camera.
Bridges first became sure of the
FIJI trap on Aug. after he had
recognized an FBT man in the
hotel and after the hotel manage
ment had been strangely insistent
upon assigning him to Room 1927
even when Bridges insisted upon
a SO room. whereas the price OF
1927 was 81. But the hotel gra-
ciously cut the rate.
Bridges then notified his friends
that his wire was tapped. He also
invited local labor leaders to visit
him in his room. where they often
carried on fantastic conversations
for the benefit OF the F'BI men
Once Bridges laid trap TO de-
termine whether the Hoover ag-
entS we're passing along their data
to employers. He discussed an inn
portant local strike and said he in
tended to join the picket line.
Within two days this imaginary
scheme was reported in the New
York World-Telcgram.

staged watch parties. inviting

WASHINGTON. = After De-
fense-What?
This is the title of National
Resources Planning Board study
just released here which directs
attention 10 the colossal problems
that will confront the nation
when defense spending ends.
One major weakness of the
pamphlet is it's tacit assumption
that the defense program will at
least temporarily solve America :
grave problems OF employment
and production and its further
premise that little of basic ma
ture can be done until afterward.
II wholly ignores the uncontest-
ed fact that the way in which the
defense program is being man.
aged is liable to make post de
Tense problems even more serious
than they would otherwise become.
Nor does IL indicate that the time
TO start action toward the goal it
outlines Is now.
The Boards analysis of post
defense program breaks down into
five main points whose aim is to
move Americas economy over
from peak defense production to
a peak peace production without
another postwar collapse such as
came after the World War.
Authors OF the report rightly
point out that IL things are left
to work themselves out in the
painless fashion of the Return
to Normally" Harding Coolidge
era. millions OF defense workers
and men now in the Army will be
Jumped on the market without
Jobs. The nations income will
quickly slump by billions of dol
ars and we shall be back again
n the valley OF depression.
