Labor News From Britdin

And this, the Trade Union Movement
believe, can be done through the Joint
Works Production Committee machin-
cry.
The work of the Regional Produc-
ton Boards is to adjust manpOwer
and machinery in the regions so as to
eliminate wastage, by seeing that no
firm is overloaded with work, and that
where firms do become so overloaded,
the excess of capacity is transferred
to Il firm which may be idle at the
time, or short of material, and also 10
see that an excessive variety of prod
Icts in one firm is avoided. This latter
point may not arise in country which
has mass production methods, but it
will be Il real job of work for the Re
giOnal Boards.
Doing The Field Work
The Regional Boards are now estab-
fishing District Capacity Offices to
supervise this work. 1t is recognized
that the disposition of contracts for
specialized works for which factories
have been built or adapted cannot De
changed, but decentraliZed organiZa-
! ton could render most valuable Serv-
ice in other cases and now that our
! labor resources have been practically
absorbed, a call for improvement in
in the ALLEGATION of work is necessary
in order to give the largeScale eX-
pansion in production which we shall
undoubtedly need.
The task of general supervision will
fall to the National Production Ad-
visOry Council, composed of six repre-
sentative employers, six representa-
tiveS of the Trades Union Congress,
representatives of the Regional Boards
| (SiX employer vice chairmen, and five
trade union vice chairmen) with the
| Minister of Production presiding. From
the point of view of the Trade Union
Movement, however, the actual field
work. will be done by the Regional
Boards. the District Committees and
the Joint Works Production Commit
| tees.

SocioI Security
Inform alton

Hundreds of temporary workers will
be hired for the Christmas shopping
season in the area served by the
Youngstown field office of the Social
Security Board, it was said today by
Glenn II. Pittenger, manager of the
office.
"We know that many of these holi-
day workers will be serving for the
first time in employment covered by
old-age and survivors Insurance." Mr..
Pittenger said
I'VE advise all persons who take
such jobs to obtain their social Sc
curity account numbers and show
work is begun. The employer should
copy the name of the worker and the
account number exactly as they ap-
pear on the social security card. This
information must be given when taxes;
for the final quarter of 1912 are paid
during January, 1913.
persons of all ages are now covered
by the Social Security Act. That
means q boy of 16 who works part
time must have an account number,
also a man or woman over 90 who may
have retired or been idle for several
years. Full time and part time en-
ploymcnt are covered and every enl-
ployer of one or more is required to
deduct one per cent from the wages OF
those in his service. A similar tax is
paid by all employers in commerce or
industry.
persons who have lost their social
security cards should obtain duplicates
before taking holiday jobs. Workers
who have changed their names since
they were last employed may obtain
duplicate cards bearing their present
names. All applications should be sub
mitted to our office in the Erie Ter
minal building in Youngstown, Ohio

Cool Miners Voice
Protest Of Women
In Mine Positions

Florence, n S. ULNS).-The local
of the United Mine Workers here has
lodged formal protest against the EN-
ployment of women at the Franklin
soft coal mine
1t is pointed out in the protest, di-
ice depot for Cape Breton Island, that
Il number of women have been take,
on the staff of the Franklin mine late
ly, and they are the first females do
ing mine work in the history Of Cape
Brcton'S bituminouS industry. They
work on the surface, at the bankhead
cleaning coal as it comes out of The
mine.
The local says that many men who
are over the army age limit and yel
able to do satisfactory work in the
mines, are unemployed While tho
women are given jobs. 1t is claimed
the reason is that the women are EN-
ployed because they work cheaper
than the men, although as etlicient
workers they cannot compare to much
older men. Some of the women en-
gagged in the mine surface work are
married and with families. The me!
beyond the military age are in GOOD
physical condition and are miners OF
long experience who have been unable
to get work.
1t is feared by union miners in Cape
Breton that the Use of the women il
the Franklin mine is an entering
wedge and that the practice VIII
spread to other mines on this big is
land, on which the basic industry is
soft coal production.

Aircraft Pay Equal

\ comparison of wages of women IN

lower.

1912 Profits Of
Corporations Hit
An All-Time Hiqh
Dept. OF Commerce Reports
Refutes Claim Tuxes De-
stroY Profit Motive
AMAZING PICTURE
Wage Increase insignificant
Compared To Blodted
Earnings Of Industry

Washington, ID. 4. - pagandlStS
for Big Business who have been
screaming that corporation taxes are
destroying the profit motive" have
simply been telling the public what is
not true.
Despite higher taxes, industry dur
Ing this year made the highest profits
in its history. After all deductions,
including more than is needed to meet
tax payments, corporation profits are
100 per cent higher than in 1899 and
at least 40 per cent higher than last
year.
Conservative Authority
Authority for those figures is the
Department Of Commerce, headed by
the conservative Jesse II. Jones, who
cannot fairly be accused of trying to
give business the worst Of it.
The Departments report is calcu-
lated on the publ: he'd figures Of the
corporations themselves, which usual
y set aside more than they need for
taxes, and they do not include about
S2,OOO,OOO,O 900 in profits which corpO-
rations realize from other companies.
There is no confirmation from the
facts that either the war or hign
taxes are destroying the profit ability
of American corporate business" the
department declared.
Amazing Picture
The overall picture" the depart
-I,,,
it is considered that thousands OF
corporations have been crowded to the
wall by the war program and that
many others engaged in civilian pro
duction have operated at loss.
This boils down to the plain fact
the department indicated, that stag.
gering profits have been accumulated
by the relatively few corporations with
war contracts.
COntrasted with the favorable posi-
tion of industy, labor is coming out al
the little end of the horn.
LabOr's Share Small
The Office of Price Administration
whose chieftain, Leon Henderson, has
llldIheu bldS iSdlllSI ldbbl
reported this week that the avera ge
hourly wages of workers in manufac
turing industries had gone up "only
81 per cent" in 1941 over 1899. Tha1
figure is higher than has been re
ported by the Department of Labor
| Nevertheless, accepting Henderson
| figure as reliable, it shows that labor
was only 81 per cent better off before
Increased taxes and increased cost OF

According TO the department, cor
porationS are 100 per cent better of
than in 1899, and 40 per cent better
off than in 1871, after higher taxes
and higher labor and material costs
have been taken into consideration.
Henderson said that the 81 per cert
increase for labor would be only H.:
per cent after allowance for increased
living costs - and he said nothin.
about the workers tax bill.
