Another
Anti-Lobor
Pipe Dream!

Washington, Mar. 27-CIO Coun-
ell Director John Brophy warned
this week Of a new anti-labor angle
dreamed up In the Oregon Legis-
lature.
The new law puts a six month
time limit on wage claims by
workers. AS explained by Brophy,
this can result in many workers
losing out on claims for back
wages. since they frequently are
afraid to put in claims while still
working for the employer that has
gypped them, are ignorant of their
rights under wage laws. etc.
Brophy warned Councils to be
on the watch for this one In the
current wave Of anti-labor bills be-
Ing promoted land enacted) In
many state legislatures.

Speaking before the same Com

problems Of housing, health, shop

nection with the manpower ques-
ton, and pointed out that a coer-
Give bill would not make any APP

notion that we had solved our

solve any of these problems" he
said, urging passage Of the Toll

contribution to war efficiency.
GREEN ON ABSENTEEISM
Green hit out at the Campaign
of abuse" Of labor on the absentee
ism question, declaring that 1t has
resulted already "in a general
lowering of morale" He also
urged a rational approach to the
real problems of absenteeism.
Many Of these causes could be
handled adequately by joint
committees II they met with o
sufficiently sympathetic response
from the local and federal gov
eminent authorities which have
the power to remedy the evil" he
said.
In a brief appearance before the
House Labor Committee, Eleanor
Fowler. secretary Of the CLIO
Womens Auxiliaries, outlined the
steps taken In England to help
women workers stay on the war
job. including child care, special
feeding and shopping arrange
ments. and the like.
Nixon charged In his testimony
on the labor draft bill that the
measure "is actually an alterna-
tive to taking constructive steps
necessary to effectively mobilize
manpower. :. There has been
no case made for the necessity OF
compulsion. Proponents Of this
bill have not pointed out single
instance where IL was tho lack Of
compulsion that actually caused
o problem Of labor supply"

fuse to accept such a policy and
instead take advantage Of problems
and hardships which necessarily
must flow from our war effort to
advance their special causes al
though they lead to disunity, con-
fusion and disruption"
HITS LABOR-BAITING
As II to underline Murray's warn
Ing, some members of the COM
mittee-notably Senator Brewster,
Maine Republican-attempted la
bor-baiting line in the questioning
that followed the testimony.
Brewster was terribly con-
cerned about the problem Of the
unorganized worker and his
fright" to stay out Of q union
thus escaping the burden Of pay
ing union dues and receiving UNI
lon wages. He was also worried
about "diverting our energies by
organizing these unorganized
workers"
Murray's answer to this was
simple. mo organization OF
workers has in any way impeded
war production" he said. "On
the contrary, the record shows
that where labor Is organized,
and where you have labor-man-
agement cooperation, production
goes sky-high."
Murray also attempted to calm
Brewster's fears about union dues,
pointing out: u That CLIO dues
were uniformly low and, y that
CLIO unions made their financial
reports open to public inspection
at all times.
SENATORS UNCONCERNED
None Of the Senator's on the COM
mittee showed much desire to talk
over the real problems presented
to them In Murray's testimony
problems OF winning the war in
the quickest possible way. Those
who asked questions-Brewster.
Ball Of Mimi, Ferguson Of Mich
were much more concerned with
the labor problem" by which
they meant labor's right to organ
lie, collect dues to run unions with.
win contracts from employers.
ALL Pres. William Green, who
also testified. helped them out By
dragging a long and bitter discus
sion of the beef at the Kaiser ship
yards into his testimony. This pro-
voked an hours talk on jurisdic-
ton, while war planning was for
gotten.

DEMANDS STERILIZATION

Reviewing the failure to carry
out the Presidents seven-point vic
tory economy program, Murray re-
iterated CLIO demands for real sta
bilization, to include rigid price
fixing. adequate taxes based on
ability to pay, universal rationing,
increased wages to keep up health
and efficiency standards OF war
workers, and other steps to gear
the country's resources to the
needs Of total war.

Murray bluntly told the Sem
ate Committee that we have not
achieved national unity, despite
the desperate need for 1t. "As

said. "As part of the United Ma
tions we are engaged In an I'M

Prices Must
Be Posted On
All Meat Cuts

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(SNS)--
Beginning Friday, April 2, house
wives will find that every cut Oh
nork purchased at local grocery or
butcher shops carries a price marx
or to show how much per pound
that cut costs.
The grocer or butcher must not
charge more than the speclnc
ceiling prices set by the Office OF
Price Administration ON IS prin-
cipal cuts. The regulation setting
the cents pound ceiling does
away with the confusion which re-
suited when every store had q
price ceiling of its own.
Now the grocer or butcher may
charge less than the specific price,
but he must not charge more tnan
the amount set for his type OF
store. This amount for each cut
must be posted where all custom
ers can see it, in addition to being
placed on the meat itself.
Under the OPA regulation, the
country is divided into zones and
specific prices set for these zones.
For example, if you live in wes-
tern Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan,
western West Virginia, western
Kentucky, western Tennessee,
northwestern Alabama, or the
northern half of Mississippi, and
shop at small independent store,
you will pay 48 cents pound for
Grade A derined, smoked bacon;
43 cents a pound for center cut
pork chops; rs cents for fresh,
cured or frozen salt pork, and Al
cents for skinned whole or shank
half ham.
A small Independent store is
not allowed to charge you more
than that. Shoppers at a chain
store in that zone will pay two
cents less for salt pork, sliced
bacon Grade Al and center cut
pork chops, and one cent less for
smoked ham.
If it is found that there has
been an overcharge, the customer
may sue for a minimum of $50,
plus costs, or for treble damages
under the Emergency Price Control
Act.
