COUNCIL URGES PLANNING AGENCY
TO PREVENT POSTWAR DEPRESSION

"This is the inevitable prospect for
America unless we begin to prepare
for peace while we are strengthening
our defense against the threat of war.
"The Executive Council believes
that industrial production can not
only be maintained at it's present high
level after the defense emergency but
can and should be expanded. But
this will require creative planning
and the sincere cooperation of Gov
ernment, industry, labor and agricul-
ture.
"The first step must be to set up a
planning agency in which each of
these branches of our economic sys-
TEN will be fully represented. This
body should proceed at once to draw
up a program by which American re-
sourcefulness can be teamed with
American resources to accomplish a
rapid shift from war production to
peace production when the time
comes.

traced the growth Of the union from
membership of 1000 in 1881 to a
total of more than 3O0,C00 today.
During this period the wage rate of
carpenters was lifted by the union
from 20 cents an hour to from SIPS
to $1.75 an hour. Working hours
were sharply reduced and conditions
generally have been greatly improved
since the days when the original
eleven locals of the Brotherhood de-
cided in 1881 that progress could only
be attained by the formation of a
national organization.
Mr.. Hutcheson recalled that the
carpenters were among the original
founders Of the American Federation
of Labor and contributed generously
to its tremendous development. The
carpenters also helped many other
present A. F. of l.. affiliates to estab-
lish themselves on strong basis, he
pointed out.

Grafton, w. Va.-The committee in
charge Of affairs wishes to announce
that everything is all set for the big
day August %, when the employees
of the Carr China Company, along
with their families and friends are
going to picnic at Dawson's Camp on
U. S. Route so.
The firm has declared holiday and
no one will be working on that date
unless it is impossible for a certain
few who will have to stay on the job
to keep the kiln rolling. Mr.. Wheeler
Carr Backmann has assured the COM
mittee that he will be present and is
looking forward to an enjoyable time.
Brother Earl Simmons, who is in
charge of the program, says he has
a lineup that will keep everyone en-
tertained, and with this in view those
entering the contests will certainly
do their best to be winners. Along
with the numerous races there will
be swimming, boating, horseshoe
pitching, and other forms of enter
tainment. A special treat for the kid
dies has been planned by the COM
mittee and there will be dancing in
the evening for those who care TO
indulge. Free parking space has been
provided. Everyone should bring their
cameras as there are several very
picturesque spots that will be we'll

Chicago, Ill.-The immediate estab-
lishment Of a long-term planning
agency, composed of representatives
of Government, industry, labor and
agriculture, to develop a broad pro-
gram to provide employment for mil
lions of workers scheduled for dis
missal from national defense indus
tries with the advent of peace was
recommended by the Executive Coun-
Gil of the American Federation of
Labor at it's summer meeting here.
"Amercan industry is now running
in high gear on defense ORDERS" the
Executive Councils statement said.
"Peace, when it comes, will halt this
huge industrial machine in it's tracks.
Thousands of factories and munitions
plants now operating twenty-four
hours a day will be forced to close.
Millions of workers will lose their
jobs. Farmers will suffer from cur
tailment Of markets and purchasing
power. Depression will set in and
our economic system may not be able
to withstand the shock.

Living Costs Must
Level IOn1o Avoid
Serious lnfIufion
America Cannot Afford To
Go Through Defldtion
Period

Chicago, III. ILNS).-The national
defense emergency already has boost
ed the cost of living to a dangerous
degree. Food prices have spiraled up
ward from 13 to II per cent. Unless
the nation takes steps to control this
trend disastrous imitation will be
upon US.
Labor knows only too we'll what
price initiation means. During the last
World War the cost of living doubled
and wages were unable to keep pace
with skyrocketing prices. Every in
fationary jump meant a correspond
ing cut in the real value OF the wage
dollar. After the war defiation in
evitably set in and wiped away the
gains labor had achieved by years of
struggle besides throwing millions out
of work.
A meric cannot afford to go
through such experiences again. Our
country stands to lose more than jobs
and wage standards from a renewal
of initiation. We remember how the
1888 depression closed our banks,
wiped out millions of dollars of
workers savings, bankrupted thou
sands of farmers and businesses, and
threatened to undermine the demo-
cratic institutions of our Government.
We know how serious depressions
abroad caused the overthrow of demo-
cratic governments and brought Hit
Ter into power A serious price in
fiation in America today would eX
pose our country to similar dangers.
The Executive Council of the
American Federation of Labor has
given careful consideration to the
message sent by President Roosevelt
to Congress on this subject and
agrees fully with the conclusions
which he expressed as follows:
Faced now with the prospect of
inhationary price advances, legisla-
tive action can no longer prudently
be postponed. Our national safety
demands that we take steps at once
to extend, clarity and strengthen the
authority of the Government to act
in the interest of the general well
fare"

Trenton Organization Has
Doubled Membership
Past Yeur

Trenton, N. 1.-THE attendance at
Local Union No. 35's last meeting
was very encouraging to the officers
as they have worked hard to get this
local on the map. There were more
than two hundred members present.
This local has doubled it's member
ship in the past year and has about
everyone who is entitled to member
ship with the exception of one per-
son and he states the firm has made
him a boss since our strike. This man
worked while we were on strike last
winter, so he hasn't much backbone.
Don't forget the new ruling has
gone into effect. If you missed last
meeting you had better attend the
next one or you will be assessed so

some of the members in the near
future for failure to pay their dues
and assessments on time. So if you
are one of the members in arrears

retary soon.

War Needs 70 Bring Closed Factories
With Acute Shortages In Many Lines
Federation Urges

Food Prices Up 10 Per Cent
In Past Year With Others
Following Closely

Chicago, Ill.-Defnite action to
check price imitation was recommend
ed by the Executive Council of the
American Federation of Labor at its
summer session here.
Pointing out that "the national de-
fense emergency has already boosted
the cost of living to dangerous de-
gree" food prices having risen 10 per
cent in the past year, with rents in
creased and wholesale prices soaring
upward from 13 to II per cent, the
Council said serious price initiation
would result in general disaster. The
statement added:
"The Executive Council has given
careful consideration to the message
sent by President Roosevelt to Con-
gress on this subject and agrees fully
with the conclusions which he ex-
pressed as follows:
"'Faced now with the prospect of
inf1ationary price advances, legisla-
tive action can no longer prudently
be postponed. Our national safety
demands that we take steps at once
to extend, clarity and strengthen the
authority of the Government to act in
the interest of the general welfare
"The President asked for legisla-
tion including authority to establish
ceilings for prices and rents, to pur-
chase materials and commodities when
necessary to assure price stabilization
and to deal more extensively with ex-
cesses in the field of installment
credit. This authority would last only
during the emergency period.
"The President wisely refrained
from including wages within the
realm of this legislation. He recog-
nized the need for wage adjustments
from time to time to rectify economic
injuStices. He warned, however, that
abnormal wage increases might seri-
ously affect the nations price struc-
ture.
"The Executive Council sees no i'm
mediate danger of abnormal wage
increases. Three major factors have
made it only fair and just that wages
should be lifted. These are higher
living costs, increased profits of in
dustry and the remarkably growing
productivity of workers. In many in
dustries one worker today produces
what it took three workers to turn
out only few years ago. Thus, the
wages of the individual worker can
safely be raised without increasing
the aggregate labor cost Of the indus
try.
"The Executive Council urges Con-
gress to give prompt consideration to
the Presidents recommendations but
it cautions against the granting of
too wide discretionary powers to the
Federal agency which will administer
the price control program. Congress
should specifically limit the sphere Of

Officials Complete Two-DcY
Session At Headquarters
Late Tuesday
SLAVEN INSTALLED
New Member Of The Bodrd
Takes Oath Of Office At
First Session Monduy

The Executive Board Of the Ma
tional Brotherhood Of Operative Pot
terS completed a two-day meeting
late Tuesday evening at Headquar-
ters when Chairman James NJ Duffy,
president Of the organization, de-
clared the sessions adjourned.
Numerous questions pertaining to
the organization were discussed fy
the members while many committees,
representing various locals throu h.
out the district, appeared before the
Board to present questions pertaining
to their individual craft or locality.
Foremost in the discussions, how
ever, was the planning of new
nationwide organizing campaign to
be conducted by the Brotherhood
throughout the coming year
The drives staged by the potters'
union over the past few years have
shown exceptional results and, it is
thought, the opportunity exists for
continued advances. The 1941 con-
vention Of the National Brotherhood
Of Operative Potters turned all or
ganizing problems over to the Board
for action.
This being the first meeting Of the
official body during the present term
of office, James Slaven, elected third
vice president two months ago, was
installed at the first session. Vice
President Slaven is no newcomer to
the Board, having filled out an un-
expired term when appointed by the
Board members few years ago.
In addition to President Duffy and
Third Vice President Slaven, other
members attending the meeting were
First Vice President F.. L. Wheatley,
Second Vice Pres ;,i.,i :s.sank HuH.
Fourth Vice President Charles Zim-
mer, Fifth Vice President George
Newbon, Sixth Vice President George

dent Joshua Chadwick and Secretary
Treasurer John D. McGillivray.

Defense Program
In Crucial Stage
Next Few Months
Can't Have Both Butter
And Guns" Says Com
rnittee Pamphlet

New York City QLNS).-The next
six months will probably see the turn
ing point in the defense program as
it affects the average citizen and his
pocketbook. For the past year Ameri
cans have had both "guns" and "but-
ter" We are now facing period of
necessary sacrifices, and we must
choose the nature Of those sacrifices.
These are the conclusions Of "Guns,
Planes, and Your Pocketbook," by
Rolf Nugent Of the Russell Sage
Foundation, just published by the
Public Affairs Committee, Inc.
"The first year of the defense pro-
gram Nugent points out. "was rela-
lively clear sailing. The fact that we
had idle and readily usable resources
permitted rapid expansion Of all types
of production. Defense expenditures,
even at the close of the period, were
fairly small in comparison with our
enormous resources"
But in the next few months "if
arms production is to continue to
grow as planned the production

Easiest to cut down, Nugent de-
clares, are "automobiles, refrigera-
tors, washing machines, electric and
gas ranges, automatic furnaces, and
other steel, nickel, and aluminium
bearing household equipment. Be-
cause Of their durability these goods
can be used over period of years
a period which can be materially
heightened if there is good reason to
repair rather than replace them"
This need not mean any immediate
decline in real living standards. For
another few months it seems possible
to have more "guns" and, on bal
ance, more "butter."

fense program, we can produce and
consume larger quantities of food

single exception, all were re
elected.
Monday August IS, we held an
other meeting with fine attendance,
and it looks as though our members
are behind the officers as whole
heartedly as they were the past year.
I've heard many say that there is
nothing wrong in their particular line
of work-that everything is running
smoothly In such instances, | feel it
would be fine gesture for those per-
sons to find someone who is having
trouble in their line and help in any
manner possible to lessen the burden
of the less fortunate.
Our decal girls report price raise
in several patterns since the con-
ference.
Several of our girls, who were un-
employed for some time, are now
back at work
We regret that we must again re-
port the loss of one of our Brother
hood. One Of our kiln placers, Hugh
n. Owens, died of heart attack while
going home from work August 9.
Brother Owens was member of
our Brotherhood for over forty years.
