in Substantiation of his charge. He
listed many foods which have gone up
100 per cent or more since January
1941, and one which has risen 275 per
cent.
"A Flying Fortress is wonderful
instrument of war; Mr.. Meany de-
clared, but if it has no fuel it cannot
get off the ground. The American
worker, as figures prove, is a wonder
full producer, but if he does not have
sufficient nourishing food in his stOm-
ach, he cannot do a job at top speed
and ut peak efficiency.
Holding the present line on food
prices is not enough. The American
people are already over their heads
Prices on food staples must be rolled
back.
Can we expect this to be done
under the present governmental policy?
Obviously not According to the senior
assistant of the Director of OPA, IN
q remark of 3 or / days ago, there is
nothing in the Presidents hold-the-linc
executive order of April 8 to prevent
price adjustments. This statement was
evidently made To appease certain food
producers by indicating that the PreSi-
dents order did not prevent OPA from
allowing prices to 90 even higher than
they are today
Pointing out that tie men and
women of American labor are prOduc-
ing planes, ships, tanks, guns and
ammunition "at the fastest rates ever
attained" Mr.. Meany said:
The cost of food, generally, has
doubled in the past > years. What does
this mean to the American worker and
10 his wife and family? 1t means that
the American housewife, confronted
with such sky-high prices and desiring
to discharge her responsibility of keep
ing the war workers in her family
nourished SO that they can produce for
victory, has no alternative but to pass
up the foods which are essential to
a balanced diet but which are now be-
yond the reach of the average family's
pocketbook." ua
Mr.. Meany conceded that many
"OIhtTS are HOW tiIlilIS more lIliH
they formerly made, but emphasized
that many workers, millions OF them,
have received no increase in pay In
the last 3 years, or have received pure
~ nominal increases amounting to 3
or = cents an hour, or Sl.5O to 500
per week The average pay envelope
for all manufacturing ind,lSi reS, in
Guiding the war induSi ricS, holds only
Sal each week, he said.
Mr.. Meany asked that President
Roosevelt under his wartime powers,
issue an executive order to the OPA
mot stating in general terms that
food prices should be held down, but
stating in definite, specific terms that
retail food prices must be rolled back
within II definite, specific period Of
time to the levels which prevailed on
May -, 1912"
Only in this way" said the AINL
leader, "can the American worker be
assured that he will be unhampercd in
his efforts to perform the tasks that
he is anxious 10 do--to produce all the
weapons of war that our nation needs
for final and complete victory"
