Get Ready Now

One of the first things labor will have to think
about when the 1913 Congress comes in next Janu-
airy is a new tax bill.
scribed as the worst in TAX history. 1t hits the
workers and other low income groups and spares
the rich and the fat corporations. 1t is real wage
cut and consequently real threat to war produc-
ton, because it takes money from workers as far
down the scale as $12 week-money that Is des-
peratey needed for food and health.
At the same time, it leaves big incomes and
profits as breeding ground for initiation. Most
glaring of all the flat refusal of Congress to
do anything about the $751; 900 income limit.
And because the 1912 bill fails to raise the
nue. the government needs for war financing, we will
be faced with new bill almost as Congress
whether 1t is a n-the-war measure another
soak-thep poor device-depends on labor.
The reactionary and anti-vctory forces
stronger in this Congress than before. The first
thing they will probably try for will be general
sales tax-some of the poll tax statesmen who sabo
tagged the 1912 bill are openly Boosting that the
sales tax is first the agenda.
We all know that the sales tax cuts the food
and other necessities workers buy, thus cutting
their health and productive efficiency Labor
stop this plot against production Labor can
make the 1943 tax bill real victory measure.
But only if labor starts now by organizing for
an about campaign, even before the new Congress
comes in. Start telling your Congressman and your
Senators, if they're newly elected that labor
demands an about, win-the-war tax bill in 1943.

One Year of War

Just year ago, the treacherous japanese
attack Pearl Harbor threw the United States
into the World war against the Axis.
Labor, and particularly the CLIO, perhaps
better prepared for this than any other SUBJ
stantial section of the American people
A year ago, Clio President Philip Murray had
advanced his industry council plan to organize and
spur defense production, and the pre-war Clio con-
vention had made world struggle against Hitlerism
Its major aim.
So the CLIO was ready for battle the moment
the news came from Pearl Harbor Its unions
made increased production to win the their
major aim laying aside their right to strike for
tine duration its young men joined the armed
forces by tens and hundreds of thousands. And
in every phase of activity, the CIO Its
unions and members began to take the lead for
about war effort
The efforts and achievements of the CLIO and
its membership in Washington, in the armed forces
in industry, on abor-management committees In
war relief, in civilian defense, in bond purchases
In blood donations-in every activity great SMALL
that contributes to victoryhave been related many
times in these pages. Space will not permit of any
adequate recapitulation now.
But what is of basic Importance is the ever
growing realization shown by such activities, that
this Is labor's in a more real sense than any
other war our country has been engaged in
1t is not only war for our nations survival,
but 1t is also of all the freedom-lovng peoples
of the world against the most hideous forms Of
fascist tyranny that know no national boundaries.
So 1t Is natural that the CLIO, representing
the best organized, most progressive and most
forward-l0oling Of the American working peO-
pie, should assume national leadership for the
most aggressive prosecution of this war to
speedy and complete victory.
Every line of the resolutions adopted at the
recent CLIO convention in Boston breathes this spirit
of war leadership.
Because it has learned the lessons of year at
war, the Go Is calling for total war mobza-
ton; for centralized administration Of production,
manpower and economic sterilization; for the close
ly-knit organization of whole war economy;
for unity between all sections of American labor;
and for international labor unity.
On this solemn anniversary Of Pearl Harbor,
the CLIO rededicates itself with renewed determine
ton to one overwhelming purpose-the crushing
of the fascist Axis so that freedom, democracy and
social progress may survive
