Taxes to Hit Workers
But unless labor does a job be-
tween now and September on Con-
gressmen, the three billion dollar
tax steal may easily continue with
the MANS program or a replica
put on the books, it was agreed
here.
Senator Walter f. George 3D.,
Ga.), chairman of the senate fl
nance committee, declared before
adjournment that new taxes would
hit wage earners. "We might as
we'll be honest about it," he said.
"The burden will fall upon the
poorer classes-on the people
whose incomes do not exceed $4,000
or $4,000 or $500 as maximum" I"
The Wall Street Journal, polling
members of the house ways and
means committee, where tax legis-
lation originates, found that at
least five members of the commit
tee favored either sales tax or
compulsory savings tax. Also
considered was a new kind of ex-
cess wages tax, which would hit
the war worker now making $4,000
who before the war was forced to
get by on 81 900.

the really outstanding forge shops
in the country. The future of
aluminium forgings is unlimited,
particularly in the light of i'm
provements and discoveries which
have taken place during the war
period, when accelerated produc-
tion demands have tested the in
genuity of the men who have done
an outstanding job in meeting
those demands.
in the meantime, while the war
continues, Willys-Overland alum
mum forge continues to do its
work with ever-increasing produc-
tion records which are making
themselves felt, not by pats on
the back and self-praise; but by
the success which American air
men are having on the battle
fronts of the world.
NOT SATISFIED
One of the really amazing
things about the aluminium forge
shop is the willingness of every
one to criticize themselves and to
seek to do an increasingly better
job. There isn't a man in the ham
mer shop, from the fellow who
counts the forgings to the superin-
tendent who doesn't show a fine
spirit of responsibility, and even
though this doesn't show itself to
the casual observer, it is there,
nevertheless.
In its aluminium forge, Willys-
Overland really has an asset the
value of which will increase in
the post war period, for aluminium
is one of the light metals which
has already caused a secondary
industrial revolution which will in
crease in the postwar period.
The possibilities of aluminium in
industry have developed an ever
widening vista of opportunity, and

uled to deliver the keynote ad-
dress. Discussion on each of the
three major issues before the con-
ference will be led by representa-
tives of different sections of the
labor movement, as follows:
/. Rollback of prices: brother
hoods.
2. Peoples tax program: CIO.
3. Wage problems: AFL.
Among the organizations taking
an active part in promoting the
conference are: Cleveland Fedora
ton of Labor, Building Trades
Council, Teamsters Council, Paint
ers Council, Brotherhood of Rail-
way Clerks Gall AFL); Cleveland
Industrial Union Council, United
Auto Workers, United Electrical

almost certain possibility of an
other street car and bus fare re-

Learn Business From Ground
Aluminium forgings are relative
~ new, and as a result, forgemen
have for the most part been forced
to learn the business from the
ground up. Most Of the hammer
men are reformed steel forge
operators, a training which gives
the hammermen knowledge of
dyes and hammer operation; but
which is of little value in COM
parison with the type of work re-
quired to turn out good aluminium
forgings.
Despite the difficulties of secur-
ing and training operators and
other forge shop personnel, Will
lys-0verland has made remarkable
progress in just a few short
months. Today, the men who oper-
ate the hammers, helpers, stock
men and others connected with
the aluminium forge show a sur
prising knowledge of a very spe-
cial type of work for which the
majority of them had little or no
previous training.
Set For Future
Under the direction of Super
tntendent Joseph Pargeter, the
aluminium forge has continued to
increase its production month
after month despite the handicaps
brought on by wartime conditions.
Ably assisting and cooperating in
establishing the production records
is Glen Clifford and his produc-
ton planning and follow-up crew.
When the war is over, the
aluminium forge at Willys-over-
land is all set to swing over to
peacetime production with a min
imum of lost time and effort, and
will undoubtedly remain one of

side the home front The two Of
them are inexorably tied together"
Will Not Let Soldiers Down
Discussing the soldiers, the
President said, Il have assured
our men in the armed forces that
the American people would not let
them down when the war is won."
Enlarging on the topic, the
President pointed out that he
would like to see a program
something like this"
/. Mastering out pay to every
member of the armed forces and
merchant marine when he or she
is honorably discharged, large
enough in each case to cover a
reasonable period Of time between
his discharge and finding new
job.
2. In case no job is found after
diligent search, then unemploy-
ment insurance if the individual
registers with the United States
Employment Service.
8. An opportunity for members
of the armed forces to get further
education or trade training at the
cost Of the government.
A. Allowance of credit to all
members Of the armed forces,
under employment compensation
and federal old-age and survivors
insurance, for their period of serv-
ice. For these purposes they should
be treated. as if they had con-
tinued their employment in pri-
vate industry,
5. Improved and liberalized pro
visions for disqualification, rehab-
ilitation and medical care of dis
abled members Of the armed forces
and merchant marine.
s. Sufficient pensions for dis
abled members of the armed
forces.
For Total Victory
In concluding his talk, Mr.
Roosevelt said that it is the de-
termination Of the Allies to re-
store the conquered peoples of the
world "to the dignity Of human
beings, masters Of their own fate,
entitled to freedom of speech,
freedom Of religion, freedom from
want, freedom from fear"
eve shall not settle for less
than total victory. That is the
determination of every American
on the fighting fronts. That must
be, and will be, the determination
Of every American here at home"
General public reaction to the
Presidents speech was favorable,
although a number of Republicans
saw in II bid for fourth term
as well as a play for the soldier
vote. In his recommendation of a
pension for the soldiers, Mr..
Roosevelt broke a long precedent
set by other presidents who with
out exception have vetoed all
soldier bonus bills passed in years
past by Congress.

THE SENATE

Senators are elected for a term
of six years. Only one senator Is
elected at any one election, except
in the case Of a newly admitted
state when one is elected for a
short term. This then means that
there is always a senior and a
junior senator from each state.
In the event seat in the Senate
from any state is vacated by
reason Of death, resignation, or
removal after impeachment, the
governor Of the state involved APP
points a successor, who must be
approved by the Senate, to fill the
unexpired term. Since the Women's
Suffrage Amendment, in case the
vacancy is caused by death, a Gus
tom has sprung up by which the
governor appoints the widow of
the deceased. This, Of course, if
she happens to be of the same po-
litical faith as the governor, if
she isn't, she's outa-luck.

CONGRESS

The national legislature is called
Congress or The Congress Ia rose
by any other name, etc, etc.) IL
is bicameral OF composed of two
separate bodies called the Senate
Tor uper house,, and the House
of Representatives (or lower
house,.
Members of the Sen a e
are termed Senators, while mem
hers of the House are termed Rep
resentatives to Congress, or col
loquially, "Congressmen', although
members of both houses could be
termed as such.
We think this subject will have
10 be divided into sections. First
will be manner Of election and
apportionment. Second, duties OF
each house and Congress as a
whole. Third, our own comments
which might be preiudiced, because
we are burned up.
Each state in the United States
has two senators, therefore the
membership in the Senate is al,
WAYS two times the total number
of states. Since 1912 we have hao
4S states, therefore since that yeal
the membership Of the Senate has
been 96. There is a movement OF
foot to admit the Territories oi
Hawaii, Alaska, and possibly
Puerto Rico as states and OF
course this would add two sen,
ators from each of these new
states as well as the number oi
stars in the field Of Old Glory.
