But Company Will Sign "A
Union Agreement If Presi-
dent Directs It To Comply
AGAIN ATTACKS RULING
Letter Asserts It Is "Wholly
Inadequate In Telling
The Whole Truth"

Chicago. Ill.-FOr the second time,
Montgomery Ward & Co. referred its
labor dispute to President Roosevelt,
this time agreeing to sign a G. l. o.
union contract, without duress
clause, if it is ordered to to so by the
President "as Commander in Chief III
time of war"
Sewell Avery, president of the com
pany, said he had sent letter to the
WLB which said:
I'VE have the National War Labor
Boards order of Dec. s. Wards re-
reasons submitted at the hearing on
Dec. s. If the President of the United
States, as Commander in Chief in
time of war; directs that Wards ac-
cept the boards ruling, which we earn.
estly believe is wholly inadequate in
telling the whole truth, we will re
spectfHlly comply
The company has objected principal
Iy TO Il maintenance of union member
ship clause in the collective bargaining
=
ordered Montgomery Ward to sign.
That order, affecting all the com
pany's Chicago employees, about $500
was denounced by Montgomery Ward
which also said then it would comply
only if the President, as Commander
in Chief ordered it,
President Roosevelt so ordered, bu
when it came time to sign the agree
mcnt the company insisted on the righ
to Incorporate clause saying it was
signing under dureSS' and published
advertisements saying that the dOCu
ment which the President ordered it t.
sign was not an actual contract, tha
there was no real agreement with th'
union and that the document affected
the rights and liberties" of Ward
and its employees.
The United Wholesale, Retail an,
Department Store Employees &C.. /. o.
protested against the duresS clause an,
IL closed hearing was called in Wash
ington After the hearing Tuesday th
VILE ruled that Montgomery War,
could not incorporate the dureSs claus
into the agreement or any Statemen
that the boards Nov. 5 order was il
legal and unsould
However, the, WLB directive sal
the company could include a claus

hearing as wholly inadequate"

this necessary adjustment to 1luctu-
ating economic system has come to
stay.
strictly speaking, no one is attack
ing the social security program from
the front, but it is being done to death
by slow torture from assaSSinS who
come in by the back door.
Take the recent vote in the United
States Senate fixing, for the wars
duration. the contributory tax at | per
cen. when the law scheduled this tax
to 60 to per cent. This action of the
Senate did not attract much public at
tention, for it was accomplished with
a grandoSe gesture in the direction OF
patriotism in order to economiZe.
Basic Principle Attacked
but the action struck at the funda-
mental principle Of the social security
program, namely, TO build up reserves
in time of prosperity in order to pay
benefits in time of adversely.
Take the Inauguration of expert
ence rating in the majority of states
This program also is dressed up to
look like Il just measure to encourage
management to adopt sound method"
of management To keep workers ai
work instead of laying them off. But
management is not responsible today
for employment War effort is respon
sible for employment.
'The concept Of experience rating
is Il narrow one, baSing social security
upon the plant or the industry, insleat
of upon the nation as Il whole. EN-
ployerS are now being exempt from
tax payments in the majority of states
for something they don't do. AS a re-
suit, social insurance reserves which
should be mounting are dwindIing.
''CrippIing War Effort
Take the action of the state cm
pI0yment insurance executives organ
iZing themselves into II lobby to fight
and oppose the Federal government
These executives are wilfulIy cripplin-
the war effort, for their opposition eX
tends to United States Employmen
Service. They move under the guise @
defending democracy. They also Whool
il up for states rights.
"'rhe falacy, of course, lies i'm th'
fact that democracy is not Il tcrritor,
but II process. IT is no guarantee %
democracy TO have states rather THAI
the Federal government control jo
insurance Indeed, # might work on
in reverse, aS ii often has in the past
1t is inefficient 10 have ~ instead q
one job insurance program, and tn
workers lose thereby"

G O N s u M E K
N OF ES

IlCS lllCIeuSeS Ill > SoupS
authorized by OPA are not warranted
by the slight improvement in quality,
reports Consumers Union after testing
both the "old" and the new and i'm
proved varieties. Gu testers did find
something had been added-but no.
where near enough to justify the 1c-3c
increase per can. Here's their story,
as published in recent issue of
Bread & Butter:
Many housewives are disgusted
with OPA for the manner in which it
has pierced the retail ceiling prices of
canned soups. A complicated pricing
formula permits retailer to raise the
price of the 1O1a OF. can of soup from
10 to 1919 cents provided it was
packed after June 10 and carries a
label new style or new recipe
"OPA has tried to minimize the sig
nificance of the increase by saying
that the ney types of canned soups
only ''cost few cents more" But this
has meant that at least in some stores
10 cent soups have gone to 13 and IA
cents, or increases of from 30 to 4O
per cent.
"The alibi for this gOuge is that the
consumer is getting more for his money
in either quantity or quality. Manu-
facturers, says OPA, are required to
include more dry solids and are bur
dened by the general rise in the cost OF
packaging materials and raw food
| stuffs.
Consumers Union techni C a n 5
tested old and new recipe Campbell
soups to find out whether OPA was
correct in stating that you get more
food value or more soup for the higher
price you pay.
'The net weight for both new an(
old style cans was the same-10a OF
The directions said to add a can OF
water to the contents, so that tht
housewife would get the same amount
of soup although paying more.
'In the new tomato soup, there ap
peared to be no increase in tomat'
solids. The soup had been thickened
APPARENTLY by increasing the amount o
-four. TasterS could not tell the new
style from the old one when prepared
and served. Raising the price one o.
two cents seems hardly justified.
'In the samples of the new CHECKER
noodle soup tested, the amount o
chicken was increased from 0.51 to o.
on. per can, while the amount o
noodles was about the same. The flavo
of the new formula was richer ant
the color deeper. But at most Gu tech
ncians estimate that the extra cos
of the added chicken to the compan.
was not more than 1a cent-probabl
less-wlle the increase at retail run
from two to three cents Il can.
SIN the new chicken soup, tn
amount of chicken was increased froI
O33 on. to 0.47 Oh. and the rice cor
!, tent was doubled. The flavor was dc
cidedly richer But again the increaS
of two TO three cents Il can seems wa
out OF proportion to the change in tn
formula.
IF OPA wanted to pierce the reta
ceilings of canned soups to allow fo
higher costs and to give bigger prof
margins, it should have told the publ
so. But it should not pretend that th
increases are justified by changes i
the soups. BY tying up a large priC
increase with small quality chang
