ITO this end the CIO has ad-

and decency standards or IL hours
or conditions Of work are allowed
to remain at substandard levels"
Discussing the lack Of planning
on a national scale. President Muir
ray pointed to the fact that despite
advances In war production, con-
fusion still obtains because Of the
conflicting agencies, the lack OF
planning, and the absence OF COM
plete administrative control over
all phases of our production pro-
gram"
Among these he cited conflict
between civilian agencies such as
the WPB and the Army and Navy
on the ALLEGATION of contracts and
distribution Of materials, the fact
that many Industries are still con-
trolled by fears Of what may hap;
pen to their plants and their prof
it's" and above all the failure to
organize and solve the manpower
crisis.
MANPOWER CONFUSION
"Business-as and "pol-
ltics-as-usual" have greatly ham,
pered economic stabillzation as
well, he charged. This has been
most evident In the fact that ra-
tionlng, price control, taxation
and similar issues are left un-
solved or are handled In q piece
meal and grudging fashion that
delays and even sabOtages full
solution.
To meet this situation. Murray
called for "a centralized admins
trative control of all resources and
economic policies Of the nation"
similar to the proposed "Office Of
War Mobilization" projected in a
report OF the Tolan Committee in
Congress. This body. Murray says
in describing the splendid report"
of the Tolan group. would head up
all questions Of "war supply, war
manpower and economic stabiliza-
tion."
As q further necessary step to-
ward total mobilization for total
war. Murray reaffirmed CIo de-
mands for full labor representation
on all war agencies. declaring:
''This is a peoples war. To win
1t, we need the energy and skill OF
all our people In the nations serv-
ice.
labor In America knows the
problems and stakes that are In
volved. Labor knows production.
It knows organization. II knows
the steps that are necessary to
victory.
ITO ignore labor In planning
and In administering the policies
Of the war program Is to leave
untapped a vast national resource
the people"
FOR THE OFFENSIVE
Mobilization for total war Is
great part Of the story Of victory,
but 1t Is not the whole, Murray in
dicated in closing the Introductory
section Of his report.
"As . united people," Murray
writes, 1--WE Of course impose the
greatest confidence In our Com
mander-in-C Chief and the leaders
cs the other United Nations. We
cannot permit disruption or dis
unity TO divide the United Ma
tions. We cannot permit disrup-
ton or disunity to creep I'm
among the people within our own
nation"
For this reason, the CIO exposes
and fights "the sinister forces with
In our own country that seek to d.
vide and TO hamper our war effort
either by outright sabotage or by
some subtle campaign Of destruc-
tive innuendo and maneuvering.
There are appeasers and agents
of Hitler who seek to challenge the
decisions Of our leaders to put into
effect the peoples earnest desire
for the supreme offensive-the Sec
ond front-which must carry the
United Nations to victory.

conditions, President Murray
reported to the CIO convention.
Efforts to substitute rigid war
freezing formulas. or to deprive
employees of the benefits Of their
collective bargaining gains or OF
the legislative gains OF past years
would affect adversely the morale
and working efficiency Of the war
workers." he declared.
LABOR'S TASK
"In the interest Of the war ef-
fort, organized labor must con-
tinue to Insist on the mainten-
ance Of fiexibility and adjustment
through an agency such as the
War Labor Board, in which labor
L. assured Of constant adherence
to the single Objectiye-victory
I'm the war-by virtue Of the
active participation of labor In
the agency's administration"
Murray underlined the impor-
tance of the task Of CIO members
on the board and Of C1O unions
throughout the nation to Secure
and maintain working conditions
most effectively adjusted to bring
about the maximum efficiency OF
our war production machinery"
The presidents report recalled
the emergency circumstances under
which the Boards foundation was
created-at a White House confer
ence shortly after Pearl Harbor.
Murray noted that on many spe-
cific issues the CIO "has not been
In agreement" with the Boards
decisions. but. he added, "the CIO
has felt from the start that the
war effort requires the services OF
an agency such as the Board to
make determinations In these
fields"
SOME DISAGREEMENT
These disagreements, the report
asserted, have been based on:
1. Wages-"... representatives
of the CIO have felt that the
Board has not recognized the
extent to which the needs OF war
production require upward read
..justment of wage levels to assure.
maximum productive efficiency Of
war workers through adequate
food, clothing and medical budg-
ets."
2. Union Security-"the CIO
has urged unsuccessfully upon
the Board o fuller appreciation
OF the value Of the union shop
as q guarantee of increased un-
ity among workers, and as o
guarantee Of more effective war
production through elimination
of conflict and uncertainty"
NEW CONDITIONS
President Roosevelt's recent exec
utive order giving the WLB gen.
eral supervision over every wage
agreement In the country has
brought about a situation where
"the wage OF every working man
Is subject to virtually complete gov
ernment control"
Under such conditions, Murray
declared. organized labor has the
responsibility to work increasingly
to keep war workers living stand
ards at the highest possible level
so that production will not decrease
because OF lowered health or living
conditions.
The boards record on cases In
volving union security has been
spotty, the report Indicated. Muir
ray hailed maintenance-of-member-
ship clauses In WLB orders as a
"welcome recognition of the
special needs of the war emergen-
cy."
On the other hand, "lts refusal
I'm any case TO grant q union shop
offers a serious threat to
established collective bargaining
relationships In many important
industries"

ton with the boards Intervention

SMASH AXIS NOW
Paying tribute to the heroism Of
the Soviet army and people, whose
deeds at Sevastopol and Stalingrad
have shown that "there are no
bounds which cannot be surpassed
when the people know for what
they are fighting" and to the cour-
age and tenacity Of the British and
the Chinese, Murray concludes the
first part Of his report by saying:
THE United Nations are deter
mined that the handspring of the
Axis forces must and will be
smashed and destroyed through
the combined military offensive Of
the Russians, the English and the
Americans.
