PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

The United States has just passed
its first anniversary in Il global war,
and the publication of the full story
of the tragedy of Pearl Harbor over
east for Il period the favorable news
that came from our men battling in
Africa and round the world through
the Pacific.
OF course it is encouraging to read
in this weeks newspapers that today,
IL great new munitions industry is out
producing the Axis, particularly as
these claims are verified by the cold
figures put out by the Office of War
Information in reporting the upward
swing of production of planes, tanks,
bombers, guns, ships, and materials
While the President has been telling
the country that there must be mo re-
taxation on the part of the manufac-
turerS of the country" as long as any
hostile force confronts us his Chief
of War Production lays down Il mea-
| suring stick that proves that the
! United States is now entering the
third stage" of the war, with "all-out
mobilization and centralized direction
This is ii good description of the policy
of our Government, and it has justified
Mr.. Nelson's conclusion that free enter
prise has won its right to proceed in
| the war effort with less Governmental
control-commonly known by the vari-
Gus names of bureaucracy" "red
|
In reviewing the first year of the
war Mr.. Nelson declared that the sue
cess of production was SO magnificent
that the American public is hardly
able to realize the greatness of our
own accomplishments.
But Mr. Harley LutZ, professor OF
Public Finance nt Princeton Univer-
sty, really rings the bell when he says
that there is no cause to worry about
the final results of the military war,
but there Is reason for the graveSt
concern over the outcome of our civil
War-the war of the Screwy social re-
| formers against the American way of
life He has warned his countrymen
against existing political methods that
! have placed "Strangle-hOldS upon buSi-
ness, and which can effectively pre-
vent the private enterprise system
from reasSerting its traditional vigor.
But despite our rubber disasters, oil
shortages, and countless other restric-
tiOns, the fact remains that American
| ingenuity, science, invention and count
less discoveries in the world of today
are harbingerS of hope that American
| ingenuity will outStrip all the marvel
Gus records that have been chalked up
in this twentieth century.

HighIigh+s From
Washington
BY j. +. JONES
WE HAVE NO QUORUM

Washington, ID. C.-Since the first
of December the nth Congress has
found it almost impossible to make
headway with important legislation.
And on the 7th day of December,
House Speaker Rayburn admitted that
the lower branch of Congress could not
legislate because it was impossible to
get IA quorum, ''and it is doubtful
whether we can muster one" he con
feSSed
At the same time there have been
many little 1ilibuSterS in the Senate,
despite attempts to act on Il bill to
permit the sale of nOnlnoDtary silver
owned by the Treasury to war indus
tries ut 80 cents an ounce. Another
measure was the Presidents request
for authority to suspend tariff laws
and statutes governing immigration
The legislation on the Senate calendar
to increase by ; billion dollars the bor-
rowing authority of the ReconStruc-
ton Finance Corporation was also
stalled.

a division of the Labor League for
Human Rights, of which Matthew
VOL is president.
Labor sees this war as more than
just II war Of survival" said Cashen.
I'VE are supremely confident that the
United Nations are going to win. We
are more concerned with what shall

the antagonisms, the inequities that
exist iii this country.

The labor movement is founded on

Mr.. McNu,t made known al II press
conference that the government was
preparing Il program for scientific
training of needed civilian specialists
similar to the one recently formulated
by the Army and Navy for collcgr-a%c

Railroad Workers
Ask 301o PdY Rdise
Seek Rates Of Pay Com.
pdrdble With Workers
In Other Industries

Chicago UINS). = Representatives
of 100000 train service and other Oper-
ating employees, meeting here, decided
to ask a 80 per cent wage increase or
minimum raise of So day.
Alvaney Johnston, president of the
brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers
serving as spokesman for the big
Five" brotherhoods, said that the
workers believe higher wages are
justified for the following reasons:
Increases in the cost of living, added
responsibilities and hazards for the
employees, inequality of railroad pay
compared with wages paid in other
industries, excessive hours, and the
need for wage scale that will keep
railroad workers from moving on to
war industries where the pay is
higher.
Other Pay Demands
| The Big Five requests follows the
recent demands of Is incorporating
unions-with Il membership of about
800, ,OOO-for an increase of 20 cents
an hour
A year ago the railroad unions won
increases in pay, after a strike date
had been set. \ settlement accepted by
management and labor Dec. /, 1911,
provided for Il raise of 10 cents an
hour for the incorporating personnel
and 91a cents an hour for the oper-
ating.
The general chairmen will present
the demands to their union locals for
| ratification by the membership at
large. If approved by the rank and
file. the demands will be presented
formally to each of the employer rail
| roads.
The demands then would be nego-
tiated on a nationwide basis through
committees representing both sides.
| The terms of the National Railway
Labor Act set up elaborate machinery
for the disposal of disputes, including
appointment of Il fact-finding commit
tee by the President for adjudicating
claims
Concessions Made Last Year
An agreement worked out by PreSi-
dent Roosevet's fact-finding board af-
ter months of conferences settled the
| threatened strike of year ago. Gen
eral chairmen ratified it for their
members on Dec. 5, 1941. At that time
they said:
while realizing the increases grant
ed were not the amounts desired * =
the workers were willing to make
whatever reasonable concessions We're
