that time the membership has
gone on record for the following
demands to be presented to the
management. First of all, a WAGE
INCREASE will be demanded. A
substantial wage increase is justi-
fled, due to the increased high cost
of living.
The steward system has greatly

NEW THREATS TO
OVER TAXED LABOR

The threat of a sharp advance in the already heavy
burden of our taxation brings new disnay to the backbone
of our nation, the working man. Treasury and congressional
tax experts are considering levies on "everything but the
kitchen sink" Down the line boosts of Is to so per cent in
all present taxes are confidently expected.
Under a plan now being considered, a varying percentage of
wages would be withheld by employers and turned over to the
government. Bread and clothes arr expected to be exempt but
intensive exploration into the field of "luxuries" is said to be in
progress.
A recent survey by the Labor Research Association
shows that the American standard of living is in grave danger
of being lowered. The unjustifiabe increase in the prices of
manufactured goods is due entirely to the greed inspired
profit taking of big business.
To refute the argument of the National Association of Manu-
facturers, that labor costs cause these increases, the following
statements have been issued. During the past ten years, factory
wages per hour rose average of 20 per cent. During the same
period, wholesale prices of goods dropped Ia per cent and the
cost of living by Is per cent AS a result of the productivity of
American workers, higher wages are quickly offset by the in
creased output per man hour. Rising production results in a
lowered labor cost. For example, while wages increased 20 per
cent, production per man hour rose by 40 per cent and labor
COSTS dropped Is per cent
Labor represents only q small portion of the total vaIue
of products of manufacturing industries. Total uoges of all
manufacturing industries are less than Is per cent of the total
cost of the product. Another apel 1Dorn argument of the
National Manufacturers is that 10ages are already high and
that industry makes very little profit. Wages haze increased
but at the same time profits rose faster. Betuoeen tares and
profteering the hope of the aOorking class lies only in organi-
cation.
Organization, not only in the shops but in every walk of
life. The true voice of the people is not being heard in the
present day and it is well time that the men we have elected
to represent us become aware of this vital fact.
