FOllo,Cing is the letter sent to Var
Mambo wer Commissioner Paul
McNmn BY CIO Pres. philip
Murray in ichich he pOiceS Iabor's
position on rifal problems Of tcar
man bOUer.
Dear Mr.. McNutt:
The recent Executive Order Of the
President of the United States dealing with
the subject matter of manpower confers
very extensive and all-embracing powers
upon you as the Chairman of the War
Manpower Commission. Labor has a very
vital interest in achieving the fullest
mobilization of manpower. This goal can
be attained only through program which
will assure the highest degree of efficiency
and morale for the workmen who produce
the munitions of war.
The recent Convention of the Congress
of Industrial Organizations addressed itself
to this all-embracng question. l now de-
sire TO submit to you the basic elements
of our program which seeks to effectuate
a total mobilization of our resources by
protecting existing standards achieved
through bona fide collective bargaining.
I IL there is TO be a maximum mobliza-
ton of available manpower resources,
there must be complete correlation of
the activities of those agencies which have
jurisdiction over procurement, the issuance
of contracts and disposition of raw ma
terials with those of the Manpower Com
mission.
1t would be futile to continue the hap
hazard method of having the contracting
agency issue contracts so as to create crises
in manpower, and then seek to utilize the
Manpower Commission solely as a fire
department squad to meet those continu-
ing crises.
Contracts and available material must
be correlated with the manpower require
ments and supply. Total mobilization cam
not be restricted to manpower but must
embrace mobilization of material resources
as well. The recent Executive Order inn
poses upon you both the responsibility and
authority to achieve this goal.
The CIO news. (Cumberland, Md.) 1942-????, 1942-12-21

must be utilized. We must have an end to
the utterances of pious hopes in regard
10 this policy and enter field OF action
whereby employers will be compelled to
accept this available manpower. Complete
equality of opportunity for employment
must be made available to all workers and
under the basic principle of equal pay for
equal work.
y Individual plants or areas may have
os to be designated as critical with re-
strictions TO be imposed upon the right
of workers 10 leave work. Adequate pro-
lection must therefore be afforded to the
workers as follows:
ta) All the plants to be covered should
be investigated and certified as complying
with % the health and safety require
ments; ~ the wages, hours and working
conditions prevailing in the area or indus
try, as determined through bona fide coll
lective bargaining; (3) requirements for
adequate training facilities; and (4 re-
quirements for the maximum utilization
of the available manpower in the plant.
(b) Employees in the designated plants
or areas should, of course, be permitted
to leave their present employ for the pur-
pose of seeking employment elsewhere il
the employe is doing so to Cd obtain
higher skilled job; (2) obtain full time
employment whereas he Is only partially
employed at present; go meet certain COM
polling personal reasons; and (4 obtain
employment at a plant closer to the en-
ploye's residence, thereby eliminating UNI
necessary travel.

Murroy's Letter on Go Manpower Stand

to be transferred to plants which have
q serious shortage of available manpower.
Where transfers are to be made, the fol-
lowing safeguards are essential.
(a) Wherever possible transfers of en-
ployes from one plant 10 another should
be made within the locality before en-
ployes are brought from another region
tb) Employees who are thus transferred
should be paid their travelling expenses
plus special allowances incurred with the
moving and for family dependents.
(c) Employees should not be transferred
TO any plant unless such plant has been in
vestigated and certified that it has met
the requirements as designated above. In
addition, the transfer should not be author
lied until representatives of the Manpower
Commission have investigated and certi-
fed that there are available adequate
health. housing and child care facilities
for such transferred employees.
I'D The employees, when transferred,
should receive the rate which had pre-
vailed for their new job prior to the trans
fer with an additional guarantee that they
will receive earnings on their new job at
least equal TO those which they enjoyed
on the job from which they are trans
ferred The rates for their new job need
not be changed, but the employer should
be obliged where necessary, to provide
supplemental payments TO make up the
employees earnings, so that he shall not
suffer.
(e) All employees transferred should be
guaranteed that when they are able 10 re-
turn 10 their old job, they shall be en-
titled to do so on the basis of their cumu-
lative seniority and all their rights and
privileges provided for under the collec-
tive bargaining agreements covering the
place of their original employment, as il
they had been there continuously at work.

National Standards

- The present situation of separate state

be established national minimum stand

The program which is thus offered Is

We merely seek the program which will
meet the needs of our nation by assuring
the maximum production of war materials.
This can be done only through the protec-

nowhere near enough to justify the

THE alibi for this gouge is that
the consumer is getting more for
his money in either quantity or

one or two cents seems hardly

"In the samples Of the new

mon & SchuSterJ
Mr.. Woodlock has presented a
clear, able picture OF what the
Catholic Church is, what it stands
for, what it means to the individual
and what it should signify to the
present generation. The first part
is a rather modernized version of
Cardinal Newman's Apologize Pro
Sua Vita, although lacking the mys-
tical beauty of the cardinals great
confession
The Catholic Pattern" succeeds
splendidly, however, as simple
summary of the creed of Catholicism,
written without preaching or use
of propaganda. In its second half
the book traces the disorders of the
world today to the rejection Of
authority and Notwithstanding
Catholicism-by the 10Th century
philosophers. AS have Jacques Mari
tain and other Catholic writer's, the
author offers the church as solu-
ton to the disorders current in art,
literature, music, philosophy, and
principally in politics.

The Roaring Land

This is a combined history and
valuation of Mr.. Binns' native
State, Washington. Primarily, it
is written about the theme of rapid
growth. Washington is young; it
was not settled until the middle
of the last century, and for many
years after that it remained in a
pioneer condition. After World War
I 1t grew up, as Mr.. Binns puts it.
He is old enough and young enough
himself to have felt both periods
acutely.
He remembers q frontier child
hood on a stump farm" where q
neighbor who lived 6 miles away
was seen only once in many years,
because 6 miles was, then, q tre-
mendous distance to travel And
he knows the boosting. progressive
Washington of today, brought into
being by automobiles, electricity and
similar materialistic devices OF
American civilization. He loves the
State, too, in both conditions-or. as
one feels, in any condition. But,
unless one happens to share his
emotion, one will feel that he has
written a literary guidebook-pol-
ished, pleasant, certainly accurate,
