AnDRf|U CAD TO
on
SUBSIDY HEAR|nG

Andrew Cad, financial secre-
tary of UE Local 768, Amalga-
mated, has been sent to Washing
ton as a representative of UE Lo-
Gals 1853 and 754, Master Electric,
to contact Harry P. Jeffrey, Third
District Congressman, and other
Ohio Congressman to urge them
to kill the ban on food subsidies
as outlined in the bill, HR BAIT,
which as submitted, would actually
kill existing subsidies, and a Sec
ton of the bill fatty bars the
use of the Commodity Credit Cor
poration (CCC) funds for subsi-
dies to increase food output and
to roll back prices.
The position of the CLIO has
always been to secure a roll back
of prices to September, 1912, and
to have a subsidy program en-
acted by Congress to guarantee a
decent American standard Of liv-
ing to the workers of America.
The ban on subsidies as urged by
representatives of Big Business
and the U. S. Chamber of Com
merce will increase the price of
meats five cents a pound and up;
butter from five to nine cents,
sugar one cent, beans one cent,
canned vegetables Ia cents. Total
food costs, as the result of the
elimination of subsidies will in
crease overall 7.29 per cent.
Bro. Cad will point out to our
Ohio Congressman that the CLIO
is in support of a program to
achieve national sterilization of
economy, through effective price
control, rationing and equitable
taxation and sterilization of
wages. Through an effective sub
sidy program, a roll back of prices
can be effected, thus stabilizing
the national economy and enabling
our workers to maintain a decent
American standard of living and
thereby aid more effectively in
the successful prosecution of the
war effort.
