No Wuge freezing

"a Labor accepts, along with the
other phases of the Presidents eco
nomic program, the goal of stabil-
ization of wages. The CLIO has been
consistently behind President Roose-
velts and President Murray's efforts
to achieve this end.
This does not and must not mean
the freezing of wages. Sterilization
of wages, consistent with the
Presidents national economic pro-
gram, involves necessary ADJUST
ments to meet the problem of the
rising cost of living, to protect
sub-standard wages and to elimi-
nate other outstanding inequalities.
Further, the procedure of collec-
tive bargaining between organized
labor and industry must be preserv-
ed and protected. To this program,
labor gives its unstinted support.
The effective instrument for carry
ing out this program is the National
War Labor Board. This board has
representatives of labor, industry
and the government, thereby assur-
ing adequate protection for all the
people. The powers and jurisdiction
of this board must be affirmed.
Labor is opposed to the naming
of any Car or supreme dictator to
regulate the economic affairs of the
nation. Any such proposal is thor
oughly inconsistent with the basic
democratic principles of our nation.
50 Labor does not seek any self
ish ends. Labor strives for only that
program which will serve to win the
war. In its judgment, the Presidents
national economic program will ac-
complish that goal. Labor is there
fore completely and Fundamentally
behind every single phase of the pro-
gram. No one point can be sacrificed
for any other. All demand immediate
enactment. 1t is labor's task to mo-
bilize all the people behind the pro-
gram, and to sweep aside all enc
mics of this national war policy of
our Commander Chief, Franklin
D. Roosevelt.

Wage Policy
And InfIufion

The economic front is being sabo-
tagged by certain sinister individuals
and vested interests which seek to
stir up national disunity by playing
off one group against another.
In this manner, the Presidents z
point economic program is being UNI
dermined. More and more frequently,
enemies of the President and of the
nation are brazenly showing their
heads in sniping and carping at the
war program. This is of course
aimed at the military effort of the
nation.
1t is the responsibility and firm
duty of labor to assume the leader
ship in smashing all such attempts
to thwart the peoples about war
effort. This can be done through the
fortnight expression by the Clio of
the attitude of the common people
toward our present economic prob
lens. The only policy shall and must
be that these problems be approach
ed with the single test of what is
best for winning the war.
The CIO news. (Cumberland, Md.) 1942-????, 1942-09-07
The Entire Program,

Therefore be it resolved, (D 1t is
more important than ever that the
Presidents entire 7-point national
economic program Immediately be
put into effect. The purpose of this
program is to prevent initiation and
to stabilize the cost of living for all
the people. Labor must not permit
any selfish group or vested interests
to stir up national disunity to under
mine the Presidents 7-point econom-
ic program by playing off one group
against another. The war program
demands the complete and whole
hearted support for all of the phases
covered by the Presidents national
economic program.
(2) To stabilize the cost of liv-
ing we must have real effective en-
fOrcement of price-fxing and DEM
Ocratic rati0ning of all necessary
civilian goods. This means that the
prices for food and farm products
which are not now regulated must
be brought under control. Only in
this manner can the cost of living
be stabilized, which it must be.
(3) The tax program originally
espoused by the Secretary of the
Treasury and the President must be
the basis for our national tax legis-
lation. Low income groups will
share on an equitable basis what
ever burden must be borne to finance
the war. But repressive taxes must
not be imposed on those least able to
pay, which will undermine the health
and morale of the workers upon
whose strength rests the success of
our war production. Taxes on middle

The Russians attitude was re-

General Council Of the Trade Un-

The report asserts that the AFL's

the proposals had been made by the
ALL to the TUG, and not to the
Soviet unions. 1t was q matter for

Associate Justice Robert H. Jackson
Of the Supreme Court said last night

lean institutions of higher learning
do not require the study of United

degree.
Addressing the convention of the
State Bar of Texas, he said service
in the Executive Branch of the Gov
ernment left him with lively sense
of the dependence of the Govern
ment on the support of an enhght-

Britain Now Grows

Food Ministry Warns,

CompIocent Attitude

LONDON, July 4-Britons learned
this week that their entire supply of
green vegetables was being grown

imported around 100000 tons a

with 648 persons to the square mile,
was feeding more individuals in pro-
portion to its area than any other
country.
Despite this, however, the Min

over England's food position, be-
cause of the uncertainty as to what
is going to happen to our supplies"
Typical of what Britain has done
to better her food supplies were in
creases Of so per cent in the pro-
duction of wheat, barley and other
cereals and 10 per cent increase

crop.
The minor economic revolution of
transferring coal royalties from pri-
vate ownership to the government
took place without flourish.
Another national shake-up was
started after the Labor Ministry
announced there would be no more
haggling over deferment from

Labor ranks will be combed and
age will not be guiding factor; the
test will be whether the worker is
doing an essential job.

The earnings over the whole field

wage levels are higher.

Labor Board Votes Raise

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The War Labor Board yesterday
directed increased wages for seamen
of the Detroit g. Cleveland Naviga-
ton Co., although recognizing the
fact that the company already was
operating at loss.
Taking the position that it could
not order "a wage scale below the
prevailing rate merely because the
employer is unable to pay the going
rate of wages in his labor market"
the board said it felt impelled to
grant an increase but 1t said it was
also 1nterceding with the Office of
Defense Transportation to get more
business for the company which
