STATEMENT BY AND FROM THE
FRESNO LABOR COUNCIL, AFL,
ON THE BIRD WAR LOAN DRIVE.
CONTRIBUTED

This council believes every member
of organized labor should give the
Third War Loan Drive it's support,
and intends to advise affiliated unions
to that effect. However, it is doubt
full if certain quota can be accepted
and if a comprehensive leadership
can be supplied.
The council intends to continue it's
wholehearted support of the War
Chest or Red Cross, systematic pur-
chasing of war bonds, and to advise
affiliated unions likewise. There are
many reasons the council does not be-
lieve the same support will be forth
coming for the Third War Loan Drive.
Mainly, the action of the War Labor
Board. If that agency continues it's
dictatorial policy regardless of the
outcome of the war abroad it will be
lost at home.
Labor hasn't any objections to pay
ing for and fighting the war, but it
becomes nauseated with providing the
sustenance for dictatorial agencies at
home.
The War Labor Board has insti
tuted an iron-clad rule and has per-
sistently refused to depart therefrom,
with minimum of exception, that if
a wage increase of 1879 has been
granted since January 1871 an adj
ditional raise in wages shall not be
granted" That is called the Little
Steel formula and the Board claims
it will avoid infla ton.
The unholy three of the Axis Pow
ers never thought of anything any
dumber or of a plan that would ex-
plot the workers any greater finan-
cially.
Congress during the last session re-
fused to pass legislation limiting sal
aries or incomes to $4,000 per year.
In other words, an executive of an
factory may earn 100000 a
year and that would not cause infla-
ton, but if a $500 a week machine

POLITICAL VERSUS MILITARY
STRATEGY
In this war as in most others there
is a close relationship between po
Ilitical and military strategy, and
while military strategy is generally
subordinate to the government or the
political faction in charge, 1t can be
so circumscribed by political maneu-
vers as to nullify its efficiency. Thus
we can take the six main nations in
volved in this war and divide them
into two classes according to which is
subordinate to the other, the Political
or the Military; China, Great Britain
and the United States would come I'M
der the former while Japan, USSR
and Germany would come into the
class where the military have full con-
troll. AS the military has full control
of the government of Japan, it both
plots and executes the military STRAIT
egg while in Great Britain, the mill
tary is under the handicap of polit-
ical limitations. While a military ex-
pert could see an early victory in a
short war, his political superiors may
decide on a longer war to gain GER
tain political detectives. In World
War l France, held up Germany long
enough to allow John Bull to reap a
harvest in Palestine, Persia and South
Africa with the same thing going on
today with USSR holding the sack in
stead of France.
HitIer's Fortress of Europe
Follow a line on the map taking in
the countries of Lithuania, on the
Baltic to Denmark and the Low coun-
tries to France and from there by the
Bremen Pass to Rumania, from there
through Poland to Lithuania and you
have Hitler's Europe in one compact
bunch; anything outside of that are
outposts or, in other words, expend-
ables like Attu and Kiska was to
Japan, Guam and the Philippines to
United States. Hitler has many out
posts outside his mainline defenses
including Finland, Norway, Spitzber-
gen, Italy and the Mediterranean is
lands, Albania, Greece and Bulgaria;
all of these which he can and prob
ably will lose before his main line is
encountered. If the Red army holds
out, which most likely it will, these
outposts can all be taken by the
Allies at a minimum cost before strik-
ing the European fortress but to do
SO would take some time and could
hardly end the war in 1913.

operator received an increase of 2O9o,

The actions of the War Labor Board
are an insult to workers intelli-
gence and the ingenuity of American
business. Thousands of American
business men in non-war industries
are losing money and many of their
employees because the War Labor
Board or Office of Economic Stabili-
cation will not allow wages to be paid
commensurate with increased living
costs, keeping in mind that wage in

THE PROGRESSIVE

Let's see how ridiculous the Little
Steel formula is by the way of COM
parison. Regardless of fancy de-
scriptions about taxes, bond buying,
donations, etc., they certainly are
part of living costs now, and to use
phrase of the War Labor Board
taxes are not take home money"
Prior to the war a wage Garner with
three dependents, earning $4,000
week did not pay income tax or other
miscellaneous items necessary today
The WLB through strange twist of
the mind, is not giving the person
with the $4,000 week income con-
sistent consideration for it's custom
airy allotted 1870 increase. With pay
as you go taxes, 1870 increased living
costs, and 1919 for for war bonds the
$4,000 salary is reduced to $34.9O of
take home money"
Labor in some instances looks ask
ance upon war bond drives when the
government insists upon operating by
edict instead of the Constitution.
