A REPLY TO MRS. ATWATER

Ing and improving roads, helping the
agricultural communities, and provid
Ing proper school facilities and health
full recreation for our young people
No one could ever assume that
Mary Atwater has ever been in poor
circumstances; nor can she be very
we'll educated to the broader view OF
life or she would not condemn in
SNUG complacency projects which
have put bread into the mouths of
many while proving of great benefit
to civic improvement and the well
fare of the general public as a whole.
| would ask Mary AtWater If she
ever stood in a bread line for hours
waiting for bowl of soup or faced
meal of dry bread and boiled beans,
or less Has she ever walked around
with nothing to keep her feet off the
ground No, it is plainly evident from
her attitude that she has always had
sufficient of everything, probably
without having had even to worry
about earning it. l assume without
asking that she has never had chill
dren that had to stand around on
street corners watching with envy
other children who were fortunate
enough to have the fare to a movie,
or bicycles or other things with which
to amuse themselves and keep out of
mischief. Else she would realize the
value of gymnasiums and community
halls.
And she wouldn't know" about
sewing rooms because she has appar-
emily never bothered to investigate,
therefore she will never know the
good work they turn out or how hard
the people in them work
To closed and narrow mind it
would be useless to point out the &C
tual worth of the work done by WPA.
But if the WPA had not been pro-
vided to enable people to work and
so sustain their bodies and bolster
their self respect, economic conditions
as a whole would not be as good as
they are today. And people like Mary
Atwater would be paying out their
precious money for the upkeep Of
more hospitals, more prisons, and
more insane asylums, and the morale
of the common people would have
been so poor that we would not have
had the courage to face the war, let
alone fight it. AS chain is no
stronger than it's weakest link, like
wise nation is no stronger than it's
economic system and the condition of
the people in it.
In conclusion l would point out that
all Mary M. Atwater's complaints and
FAULT finding Is over projects that
were approved before America was at
war, and most of those for which
money was actually appropriated
have been completed.
Sincerely,
CATHERINE Cow.

Clio CITES SEVEN
REASONS FOR
WAGE INCREASES

WASHINGTON.-(FP )-Seven rea-
sons why wages should be increased
were outlined by the CLIO in the Jan
uary issue of its monthly publication,
The Economic Outlook.
The statement was presented to the
last meeting of the CLIO executive
board, 1t Is noted, and the board
passed a resolution calling upon affil-
iates to stress the necessity of wage
increases in coming negotiations.
Since the boards meeting the
United Auto Workers (CIO) has form
ulated demands to be presented to
General Motors which call for 81 a
day increase while the Steel Workers
Organizing Committee (CIO) is push
ing demands for like increase from
Bethlehem Steel.
The seven points stressed by The
Outlook are:
1: Profits of industry have risen
enormously In 1941 over 1870 Most
Of this rise has occurred since the
last major wage increases.
g. The cost of living has risen $3.50
over the past year, January to Decem-
ber and continued serious increases
are in prospect.
3. Increased money earnings of
workers due to last years wage in
creases have been seriously reduced
by the rising cost of living. Many of
the increases have already been wiped
out.
4. Industry continues to increase its
output per man hour so that last
years wage increases have acted only
to offset in part the increase in pro-
ductivity.
5. Most workers still receive in
comes insufficient to provide the
standard of living necessary to main
tain good health, full efficiency and
well-being for the worker and his
family.
6. A special field study by the CLIO
showed that wage increases went to
buy better food, clothing and housing
for workers, aside from that part of
the increase which was lost through
prices rises.
T. Wages should be increased in
order to distribute equitably the in
come of industry. 1t is improper for
industry to refuse wage increases on
the grounds that to do so would in
crease general purchasing power to
inflationary levels. 1t is the function
of the government price control, ra-
tioning and tax agencies, not to in
dustry, to apply whatever anti-infla-
tionary measures may be necessary
and to apply them equitably."
Indirectly answering the charge
that workers wages should be guided
by the s21 month paid soldiers, the
Outlook noted that in many cases the
drafted men contributed to family in
come and thus helped maintain the
family standard of living.
About two-thirds of American fam
lilies have more than one wage Garner,
the publication said, and loss of wages
suffered through the drafting of one
of the wage earners will have to be
made up for by others in the family.
