''The Blames Lies In Ourselves

Moreover, we don't for one minute
accept the figure offered by the New
York Times. We have extreme doubts
that there are as many as fifteen mil
lion workers in America whose wages
or salaries have not increased as much
as Is per cent since Jan. l, 1941.
The fact is that many white collar
workers are organized into trade
unions affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor which have pro-
tected their interests fully. Thousands
of office workers, for instance, are
members of the AFL Office Employees
Unions, which have been grouped to-
gether in national council. Addition
al thousands of white collar workers
belong to the various AFL unions in
the Federal Government service and
in the State, County and Municipal
Employees Union. Government en-
ployes, of course, must depend on leg
islation to receive wage adjustments
and their unions have succeeded in
obtaining such legislation for them in
most instances.
Ii the unorganized white collar
workers have failed to make similar
gains, they have no one to blame but
themselves. That does not mean to
say that we lack sympathy for them.
Sympathy is too mild a word. For
many years the American Federation
of Labor has told these workers that
they are bound to suffer unless they
organize. Their present plight proves
the wisdom of this advice. Nor is it
too late for them to act upon it. The
unions of the AFL are glad to well
come new members at any time. In
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1943-12-03
FACING
The
F FACTS
With PHILIP PEARL

The New York Times has suddenly
developed a crying jag over the plight
of some fifteen million "white collar
workers who, because they are not
organized, have failed to obtain wage
increases permitted under the Little
Steel" formula
When a conservative newspaper like
the New York Times sheds walrus
tears over the misfortune of any
group of workers, we begin suspect
ing that someone is spreading some
thing on too thick.
The strategy of the newspaper is
obvious. 1t isn't even family interest
ed in the welfare of these workers.
Otherwise it would advise them to
join union which could get them all
the rights they are entitled to under
the law and the regulations of the
War Labor Board
Of course, the New York Times
isn't handing out any such advice. It's
purpose is merely to infame unorgan-
lied workers against union workers
to get support from unorganized
workers against the justified demands
of union workers for immediate re-
vision of the "Little Steel" formula
to make up for increases in living
costs since May, 1912.

TEST CASES ON C. o. PAY

New York City (ILNS). - Test
cases challenging the constitutionality
of the present laws and regulations
drafting conscientious objectors for
work without pay have been instituted
in the U. S. District Courts at Buffalo,
Los Angeles and Denver. The Amer
lean Civil Liberties Union has re-
tanned counsel to aid CO.'S interned
in work camps near these cities.

each year trying to organize the un-
fact, they spend considerable sums
organized.
Lest this be considered prejudiced
point of view, we would like to call
attention to what WLB Chairman
Davis had to say when he was asked
what underpaid white collar workers
should do to get wage increases they
are entitled to.
Get Wise-Organize
well, one way" said Mr.. Davis, "is
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1943-12-03

to join an organization. That is the
way would do"
Yes, the white collar workers
should take this lesson to heart. They
should realize by now that no worker
can afford to be rugged individual
ist. They should see the futility of
bargaining as individuals in an indus
trial economy which is highly or
ganized.
Isn't it just silly manifestation of
false pride for an Office worker to con-
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1943-12-03

slider himself above his fellow work
ers? Isn't he cutting off his nose to
spite his face if fails to join with other
office workers in a union to protect
the interest of all white collar work
ers?
1t seems shameful to US that office
workers, who have the benefits of bet
ter education, should be so far behind
workers in overalls when it comes to
advancement of their economic status
through organization.
Potentially, the Office workers could
have one of the largest and strongest
unions in the country if they would
only throw off the ridiculous mental
hazards against joining union which
have been clerverly set up by employ
er propaganda.
AS a member of an AFL Office
Workers Union ourself, we can testi-
fly that such union membership has
not interfered in the slightest degree
with our independence of thought or
action.
We can also testify from our per-
sonal observation that union office
workers are better paid and work un-
der better conditions than non-union
Office workers.
So we say to the unorganized office
workers of the country don't envy
union members who are better paid.
Get wise and join an AFL union your
selves!

CHERRY TREE
Where with eur Little Hatchet We tell
the truth about many things. Sometimes
profoundly. sometimes Aippantly, ssne-
times recklessly.
: THE

On one of her recent broadcasts
Dorothy Thompson did piece about
how the South feels toward Negroes
and Jews.
Among other things she made the
very sound point that minorities take
lot of their characteristics of con-
duct from the majority. Thus, Jews
get accused of being hungry for
money, while no nation ever has gone
after money as vigorously as this very
nation of ours. In what other country
is the unit of currency known as "al-
mighty?
The immediate purpose is to add a
couple of punch lines to what the Wig
orous Dorothy had to say.
In one Florida county sheriff told
group of Negro strikers to be back
at work tomorrow" or go to Jail.
| That broke their strike without any
NLRB foolishness.
In another police chief served no.
| tice that if Negroes were allowed to
take. part in a patriotic parade they
would be put in Jail. They didn't pa
rade.
There is plenty of race feeling in
the South-plenty.
| 1t runs against Jews as we'll as
against Negroes.
Similarly rage against Roosevelt
runs to its dirtiest depths in the
South.
| Why the situation is so is one
of those things not easy to see.
But could there be any connection
with a literacy rate not too high
| and venereal disease rate ter
| ribly high in too many places?
Perhaps not, but somewhere lie
| the roots of foul and dangerous
prejudice.
Predictions of race riots to come
are not hard to find. And there is an
other saying that is becoming rather
common. 1t is this one:
after the war we'll get 'em where
we want EN-.
The story is this:
A good many Negro men are in the
services. A great many others are
working for better wages than they
ever got before. A great many Negro
women are getting service allow
ances.
So, the Negro population doesn't
have to work for old-time wages.
That similar condition applies to
white men doesn't do much to bring
any sense into the picture
The South doesn't use the word
NEGRO" very much. 1t clings to "nig-
ger" and by golly, what a lot of white
employers intend to do to high falutin'
"niggers" when the war is over and
wages go down again (they hope),
will be plenty.
