1912 is dead and gone. 1913 a well be a year of Victory for the
United Nations, The past year has sen the United Nations turn from
the defensive to the offensive The goal facing us in the coming year
is the complete humiliation of the Axis Powers
must be vanquihed. To accomplish that purpose, here in America we
must destroy the forces of the appeasers, the reactionaries and the
isolationists.
To attain complete Victory over the Axis powers means that the
people of America must have complete unity, between all classes and
groups The rich the middle class, and the poor must all sacrifice as
or boys are sacrificing their lives on the battlehonts. There can be
no slackers, there must not be any slackers IN America a MS tne
To guarantee that there will be no repetition Of the present con-
fict, our State Department must have a aggressive policy against
the Axis Powers and their cohorts. A policy of liberation must be fol-
lowed for all subjected nations and the people of occupied nations
In the coming Congress- the working people of America will be
subjected to bitter attacks The reactionaries in Congress, with the
backing of Big Business will attempt to erase all progressive Labor
legislation of the past fifty years. We must all unite for the protection
of or rights in the postwar period.
To attain complete Victory over the Axis Powers, the American
people must carry out a program along these lines.
l. Rationing control Of all essential necessities so that all may
share and share alike. Labor must have a voice in the national ra-
toning program
2. A Price Control program designed to stop initiation and sky
rocketng of prices for the benefit of war "profteers"
8 A fair and equitable tax program that will not place the burden
ON those that are the least able to pay. The elimination of unnecessary
sales taxes, such as We have in Ohio, thanks to Gov Bricker and his
reachonary supporters.
l. A wage program to enable every worker to maintain the Amer
lean standard of living, the elimination of sub-aandard wage policies
which locally, are, we are sorry to say, prevalent in some plants IN
the Dayton area
S A plan to control production in such a manner that the rate
of production shall not fater where needed, the ALLEGATION of materials
so shut downs are not necessary, the elimination of hoarders Of vital
war materials, who r looking to the day when the war is ended and
thereby can get the Jump n their competitors.
The UTE News, issue of Dec %, 1912 in the statement by the Cen
raj Executive Board made the following declarations.
The UTE will fight the appeasers, we will fight them-n labor, IN
industry, in politics, 0 in government The people Of the United
States must mot be betrayed, as the people of France were betrayed
by hahrs Of labor who would aid the enemies Of America by under
mining American democracy. In the interest Of the people Of their
unity and, In the interest of the victory Itself, the ani-labor proposals
Of the pro-Fascist clique In Congress must be fought down. America
ut war with the enemies Of democracy dare not yield to the enemies
Of is own people,
Today every UE member, every shop steward, every local and
district officer, must organize without delay, ways and means to help
country and to support the leadership of the country which wants to
