PoI|tax Victory Near

The bill to end the polltax CHR. y has been
passed by the House and favorably reported by the
Senate committee. Any one Senator can now call it
up the floor and majority vote in the Senate
can give the right vote to 10 million disfranchised
American citizens.
BUT there's many slip 'twxt the cup and the
lip handful of wilful Senators from polltax states
is determined to stop at nothing to prevent de-
mocracy being made effective for the people of those
states
They only do this by stopping democratic
procedure from following its normal course in the
Senate since few Senators will be willing to vote for
the polltax and against democracy, II confronted
with the clear-cut issue.
The polltaxers will therefore probably try one
or more of the following tactics:
~ To stall off Senate action till next year,
the grounds Of rush of other business.
(2) To bring up the OMahoney constitu-
tional amendment on the Senate floor, though It
has been defeated In committee. This would re-
quire ratification by SO state legislatures and
mean endless delay. 1t Is q device to prevent
speedy passage of H.R.7.
(3) To introduce amendment after an
other to delay action and distOrt emasculate
the anti-p0lltax bill.
az To filibuster the bill to death or until
some backstairs deal can be made to sidetrack
10.
All such efforts be defeated, II Senate sup
porters of poltax repeal show sufficient determna-
ton.
Any one of them can bring the bill on the floor
Immediately, amendments can be defeated by ma
jorty vote, and two-thirds vote for cloture will
effectively dispose of any filibuster attempt.
Write or wire your Senators at once, urging them
to call up H.R at once; to vote down all amend
ments; to keep the anti-polltax bill on the floor
til passed; to make no deals with busterers and to
vote cloture to kill any flibuster.

still remain unorganized suffering the fate of all
people who do not organize and stick together.
But these millions too have benefited from the
great gains won for all labor by the CO. When a
CIO union wins an increase for industrial workers.
for instance it is not uncommon for employers to
grant raises to their sa1aried employees as well.
At all times, the CLIO has been the one out
standing champion of the whte-collared con-
stantly calling attention to their plight, de-
manding improvements In their conditions and
opening the door of opportunity and Organixa-
ton to them.
But now suddenly there comes an 0utpOuring Of
crocodile tears about the plight of the whtecolared
from the reactionary press and other big-business
interests, whose only with them in the past
has been to exploit them and keep them unorganized
In order to drive wedge between salaried and
wage workers, to weaken all labor, these interests
are starting to draw comparisons between the con-
ditions Of unorganized white-colar workers and
ganized industrial workers. and to play off group
against the other.
But this game is too slick and phoney to deceive
anyone for long. For all salaried and wage workers
stand to gain from labors efforts to adjust wage
standards to increased living costs.
The net effect we predict, will be to help
countless white-collared workers realize they
too should organize to remedy the inequities
from which they suffer; and to play their part,
along with the rest of labor, in establishing
better balance between wages, salaries and liv-
ing costs and in fighting the battle against In
fatiOn through strict price control, fair taxes
and the rest of labor's program.

The Whi+e-CoIIared

From Its very inception, the Go has fought the
battles of the white-collar workers.
It set out to organize them In unions specially
adapted to their needs in the world of modern in
dustry.
The white-collar unions of the clio have won
many improvements in salaries and conditions for
their members, keeping pace in these respects with
the unions Of industrial workers. many of which also
include the white-collared.
It is true many millions Of white-collar workers

So the subsidy issue boils down to this With
adequate subsidies there is some chance to control
prices, without squeezing the farmer and small
businessman and war costs and taxes can be kept
within reasonable limits.
But il subsidies banned, there is no other
way Of keeping prices down. Labor will be squeezed
more and more by rising living costs. The govern
ment will have to pay more and more for its pur-
chases necessitating higher and higher taxes And
the whole country will be threatened with the
horrors of imitation.
Who will pay the bill for the price-profteers'
spree? 1t will be paid by the workers. the farmers
and everyone else in higher living costs and taxes
and by all who will find their pensions, insurance or
other savings cut In half by imitation.
And, worst Of all, 1t will also be paid by our
fighting men, behind whose backs this crime against
our country will have been committed. av.

Looking Ahead
By Len De Caux

A MID all the hullaballoo about food subsidies,
~ one substantial group of Americans hasn't
gotten In word edgewise.
They happen to be absent on important business.
They have left Congress to keep their house In order
until they return.
But Congress has opened the door wide to q
bunch Of profiteers, who are having a whale OF
a spree. Another little drink won't do us any
HARM" they hiccup I'VE can. just charge 1t.
So when the boys come marching home-yes
you guessed who our unconsulted Americans are
they will be presented with bills they did not incur
They will have to pay along with the rest Of the
plain people, for the failures Of price control, for
the blocking of subsidies, and for the rest of the
imitation which the high-cost-of-living crowd are
whooping up in Congress today.

Labor, and particularly the Go, Is the one group
that has fought consistently to keep our house in
order till the boys come home.
1t agreed to wage sterilization and demanded
in season and out of season that the line also be
held on prices, profits and everything else.
The administration, too, has made some effort
to hold the line. But it has yielded again and again
to the profteers as is shown by increased living
costs and the fact OPA Is still allowing price
increases.
Labor has had to exert constant pressure to
make the administration do even as much as it has
done to check imitation.
On the other side, fighting both labor and the
administration, is the shameless profiteers lobby,
which has actually commanded majority in Con-
gress consistently opposing every effort to keep
down prices and curtail war profits.
Samples of this lobbys work are the Smith COM
mittee's report denouncing OPA, not for its weak
nesses but for trying to enforce price control and
the continuing congressional fight against subsidies.
The promise to roll back prices to the level OF
Sept 49, 1912, has not been kept That is why labor
now has to demand wage adjustments to restore
the balance.
But labor has not given up the fight against
1nnatlon 1t is ngntng all the harder Tor subsidies
and price control, knowing the issue today Is not
SO much Of rolling back as Of preventing a
disastrous rolling forward.
II Congress bans subsidies, the prices of more
than "a basic food items will Immediately increase
to 203o, according to competent authorities and
OPA Administrator Bowes says 1919 increase in
prices resulting from a subsidy ban, would increase
the cost Of the by at least IS billion dollars.
X X X
It Is true saving in living costs for the worker
may be than offset by an increase in his taxes
But this is an argument for subsidies, not against
Them
For the government buys $50 of our war goods
and spends about 100 billion dollars yearly To
spend billion In subsidies to keep prices at their
present level is therefore far more economical than
to let prices rise 10%-which means the govern
ment has to spend 10 billion for its purchases
Furthermore the effects of price increases are
spiral winds higher and higher, wages enter losing
race with prices, costs and taxes increase pro-
gressively and savings and spending money begin
to lose their value.
X X X
So the subsidy issue boils down to this: With
adequate subsidies there is some chance to control
prices without squeezing the farmer and small
businessman, and war costs and taxes can be kent
within reasonable limits.
But if subsidies are banned, there is no other
