MANPOWER CONTROL

OUR FIRST wartime convention brought evil
~ dence of the serious problems confronting our
nation and the basic responsibility devolving upon
labor to help in the solution of these problems.
Problems must be solved in order to get on
with our work and to inspire a spirit Of coopera-
ton among those in the industrial field The WIN
ming Of this war depends just much upon the
fighting spirit on the industrial front as upon that
on the combat lines. Organized labor must have
the fighting spirit necessary to keep It's end Of
production moving at capacity rates.
However, this is a jOb in which government,
and workers must cooperate. Over
all government planning is necessary to make
basic decisions between military and civilian needs
and upon overall policies. Basic production plans
must be agreed to, materials allocated and Sched-
uled the plan of procedure organized so that man
power requirements may be anticipated and pro-
vided
Unless these fundamental moves are made,
any program to direct manpoWer to Jobs where
workers are most needed can only result in waste
OF production hours, needless changes and dlSll-
that will perilously lower morale.
Supermrosing compulsory control of labor
when there is no continuity of contracts or steady
flow of raw materials will not assure adequate
production of war supplies as needed.
AS more men and women may be called up for
military service, older men and women must take
places in industry. If there is to be effective man
power control, all inductons into the Army and
Navy must be through a single control and all
hirings and dismissals in industry must likewise
be controlled, but both must be guided by the
same policies and work toward the same goal. A
central strategy board should decide as between
civilian and military interests and needs in pro-
duction and manpOWer, that the war agencies
may coordinate their work accordingly.
The production of arms and equipment for the
fighting forces is a civilian function and therefore
procurement should be in the War Production
Board Army and Navy officials with their minds
fixed wholly on war needs are doing Well-nigh
irrepalable damage to small industries and eco
nomic institutions.

COMMUNIST PARTY KEPT
FROM BALLOT IN 5 STATES

New York City ULNS).-The Com
munist party won two and lost five
contests to stay on state ballots in the
November elections. Attempts to ban
the ticket in New York and California
were voded by court action in which
the American Civil Liberties Union
participated.
In Illinois, Il L. s. District court
held the statute barring the Commuli-
lists to be unconstitutional, but refused
10 issue an injunction, because it was
too late to reprint the ballots. Arthur
Garfield Hays, counsel for the ACLU,
argued the case III behalf of the Com
munists The other states where the
party was barred by state officials
were Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana and
Wisconsin. The union assisted in I'M
successful protests before the election
boards in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

FREEDOM AND SECURITY

7 ABOR AS WE'LL AS other groups of citizens
- is responding to the call for service with the
realization that personal interests and welfare
must be subordinated to national interests and
welfare.
The will to serve will be strongest and surest
when individuals are not haunted by fears for
security. SO long as there is job and the worker
and his family are WELL he is not actively worried
by small earnings and smaller savings. But those
with the least imagination know that food and
fuel shortages threaten health equally with long
hours under strain, and that after the our
whole military organization must be reconverted
to peace-tlme needs.
Returning soldiers will be added to workers
leaving closed munitions plants or waiting for
their reconverSiOn Soldiers and workers part
ners in fighting this war. We must be partners
in planning for security after the war AS the
Prime Minister OF Canada told the Toronto con-
vention, in speaking Of new world order:
THE era of freedom will be achieved only as
social security and human welfare become the
main concern Of men and nations"
Society needs to make provisions so that every
one who is making useful contribution to our
economic Well-being can earn equities in a social
security system, so that he will have income dur
ing those emergencies that prevent work Work
erS with small incomes cannot lay aside enough
to take care Of such situations can they afford
individual insurance Society has the moral obi
cation to make social insurance available to those
workers.
Social security provisions must be coOrdnated
with national tax policies and tax rates. The
American Federation of Labor last year urged
the Treasury TO consider amendments to the So
cial Security Act to extend coVerage and increase
benefits to coordinate with the development of q
tax program. Our request was not needed.
WaGc-CarnerS desperately need insurance pro-
lection to save them from the moral degeneration
of going the dole No group of human beings
has right to sentence other human beings to
that experience if there is another way.

LABOR MUST BE REPRESENTED

WITH THE building up of a great war admins
" tratlOn machine, we are giving to central ad-
mlnlStratiVe agencies control over many agencies
and activities previously operating on a voluntary
oasis.
Even before war was declared we were con-
scous that bureaucracy threatens democracy.
That threat has been multiplied MANIFOLD
Increasing governmental functions and the
fact that economic regulation must be on a ma
tional scale have taken many decisions out of the
hands Of those Immediately concerned and placed
them IN the hands OF government officials. Out
of this trend has come the advisory committee
method, whereby voluntary organizations have
representation, and the insstence upon inclusion
of representatives in administrative personnel as
full-time employees. By these two methods the
policies and interests of groups concerned are
kept constantly before the administrators.
Advisory committee members are responsible
to those they represent. Their effectiveness de-
pends upon their ability, information and expert
ence, and equally upon continuous support from
those they represent. This support can be main
tanned by regular contacts and reports.
1t is important that representatives, whether
on committee administrative staff, shall have
access to factual and technical material necessary
to interpret and present issues.
So far labor is concerned, administrative
decisions determine issues formerly fixed by
collective bargaining. Unions, to consider their
own interests, must equip their administrative
with technical services needed for
sary to designate effective persons for repre-
sentative servce-persons whose devotion to pur-
pose will not be swayed under any circumstances
and who have had practical experience in labor
problems
Highly technical legislation or administrative
undertakings involved in the process Of assuring
economic rights in addition to political rights
have made this war period opportunity for the
bureaucrats and the experts. Groups Of citizens
who wish to retain a voice in matters affecting
their own lives must be able to get consideration
for practical points Of view and the findings Of
experience.
Not only is representative service needed at
the national level but at state and local levels.
Locally labor now has need for representation on
rationing boards and civilian defense agencies 1t
is Of vital Importance that workers get square
deal from boards rationing essentials of living.
AS these local board positions do not carry sal
aries and workers depend on daily work for in
comes, central labor unions will have to consider
ways of paying for such service
Unions must prepare to NEE abors problems
under the new conditions.

NO PRIVILEGED CLASS

ElRST INDUSTRY, and now the people of these
United States, are on a full wartime basis.
President Roosevelts executive order providing
for the sterilization Of our national economy af-
fectS every one of us. There are to be no privil-
eyed classes or exceptions. That is as it should
be if we are to overcome the threat of initiation
and It's consequences.
Those of us who remember the last war can
not help but feel more confident that the same
mistakes will not be made this time and that the
spiralin2 cost of living will be checked and kept
within bounds 1t does no good for man to make
five dollars an hour if he has to pay dollar a
loaf for bread five dollars a pound for butter.
That is putting in its simplest terms the idea
back Of the Presidents program
President RooseVeits executive order reaf-
firms the encouragement Of free collective bar
gaining between employers and employees, and
upon that basis we can and will work out our
mutual problems satisfactorily.

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

elimination against the hiring of
Negroes in industry recommended in
a Statement on Victory and Peace
issued recently in the name of all the
Catholic Archbishops and Bishops of
the United States.
The statement, significant in many
ways, warned against peace of ven
geance, but took firm stand against
compromise in the conflict between
| totalitarianism and the free nations.
Made at the annual meeting of CathO-
| lie Archbishops and Bishops, the
statement called for united action and
sacrifice to achieve "a just and endur-
armed forces.'
In a comprehensive document which
referred to the war as ''the most i'm
portant moral issue of today" the
Catholic Hierarchy condemned those
nations which are waging war to bring
about "slave world' and declared
the conflict of principles makes a
compromise impossible"
x 4 4
"Even while we meet here" the
document stated, 1.-The exigencies of
war have driven our armed forces into
unexpected areas of conflict in Africa.
Our President has given solemn
assurance that the United States has
no designs of permanent conquest or
sorid interest We Bishops are
hn Of Ehinf
Executive, not lightly made, faithfully
mirrors the mind and conscience of
the American people"
Neither secularism nor eXploita-
ton nor tOtalitiaranism can write a
real and lasting peace" the Bishops
said, adding that these peace terms
can be dictated only by the spirit of
Christianity"
"If we are not to have Christian
peace, then we shall be given only an
armistice and we shall begin to pre-
pare for third world conflict" the
statement asserted.
Truer words than these were never
spoken. All history supports them and
warns against peace of vengeance.
Undoubtedly the Catholic Bishops, in
voicing them, had in mind the advo-
Gates of a bloody smashing of the Axis
populations. Already these howlers for
vengeance and blood are raising their
voices in the United States.
Pledging whole hearted cooperation
with the Government in the prOsecu-
ton of the war, the Bishops expressed
grave concern over the employment of
women in industry and the welfare of
the home. Every effort must be
made" they said, ''to limit, as far as
necessity permits, the employment OF
mothers in in ndustry, particularly
young mothers"
Where it is necessary to employ
mothers, the statement asks that due
provision be made for the day care
of the children and that a whole
some moral atmosphere be provided
wherever women are employed.
Special safeguards We're asked to
shield the youths of Is years of age
who are going into the armed services
80 that they may serve country with
out moral blemiSh."
In this country, the Bishops recon-
mended that colOred citizens be given
full measure of econmic opportunity.
I'VE fully appreciate their many ma,
tive gifts and apttudes," said the
statement, (which, ennobled and ell

third or fourth time that he can carry 8 tate-wide contest in his own part of the country.
 If they are elected on November 3 And the odds seem to favor them pretty heavily = Dewey and Sricker will have as much claim on Republican Presidential considera- tion as did Ali M. Landon in 1886. That Kansan took the COP. Presi- dential nomination because he had shown an almost unique ability among Republican candidates around the country to stand up against the New Deal Democratic trend.
 Tn 1886 there were no successful candidates in New York or Ohio from among whom the Republicans might pick, so they went to the state of Kansas. But given an opportunity, the Republican party will be looking for its 1944 ticket in larger and more politically potent states.
 Bricker is getting considerable at- tention from the so-called wise- money observers for several reasons, among them his record as governor, the fact that he had to give way in 1940 to give Senator Robert A. Taft, of Ohio, a run for the Presidential nomination and the additional fact that some of the elements of the COP. which have been silent and impotent since 1882 are beginning to show both signs of life and an active interest in Bricker.
 These and some other blocs within the Republican leadership are looking for a man to stop Wendell L. Willkie in 1944 and they are ex- amining Dewey and Bricker rather closely.
 Dewey's chances for national rec ognition, of course, depend on his election to the governorship next Tuesday. Four years ago with President Roosevelt actively plug ging for Herbert H. Lehman, the Democratic candidate, Dewey lost the governorship by scant margin
