Subsidy S+and

why consumers subsidies are OBJ
jectionable:
/. Because they constitute the
basic reason for the threat Of i'm
fation by increasing surplus
spending power.
2. Because we merely postpone
the day when we will have 10 pay
our food bill and then twice over.
3. Because the wage Garner of
this generation and following
generations will have TO pay a
proportionate share of that part
of the national debt which re-
suits from the payment of subsi-
dies.
4. Because it is economically
wrong 10 pass on TO our sons and
daughters any part of the war
debt which we can possibly pay
ourselves. And it is morally
wrong to obligate our sons and
daughters 10 pay for years 10
come for the food which we are
eating today.

In Western Maryland we have
a labor set-up for political action
that could very we'll serve as the

Labor Unity Conference will have
a birthday party in the very near

yond all doubt that there can be
unity OF purpose In the ranks Of
labor when members make an hon.
est effort to assist one another.
Harmony Is the dominating factor
In all meetings OF the conference,

All committees are comprised of
equal representation OF four groups,
CLIO, AFL, RR. Brotherhoods, and
independent organizations. The Of
ficers include one representative
from each group. a president, vice
president, secretary and treasurer.
Political action Is the chief ac-
tivity Of the conference. but civic
matters receive a great deal OF at
tention, especially when the inter-
ests of working men and women
are at stake. Perhaps the greatest
achievement of the workers in
civic enterprise was sponsored by
the conference, when funds were
raised for portable iron lung,

Western Maryland. This gift was
in the name of all workers and was
presented 10 city officials for the
use of the entire public without
charge.
The legislative committee of the
conference investigates all bills
presented TO Congress or the State
legislature and makes a report on
the merits or dement's of bill
that affects workers and depend
ents.
Mr.. HilIman would do well to
sit i'm on a few meetings Of the local
conference. and we feel sure that
he would adopt the pattern for the
national organization, to elect our
friends and defeat our enemies.
