THE ITH-CONNALLY BILL

T'HERE HAS been a lot of deliberate lying about
the Smith Connally bill. Not one of the daily
newspapers has given truthful digest of it; not
one has dared cared to tell it's readers the facts.
The press has called it bill to prevent strikes
in government-owned war plants, but that is only
the camouflage which is intended to hide the true
purpose Of the measure.
The Smith -Connally bill is out and out fascism.
It is denial of the very basic principles of Amer
icanSm. 1t is tremendous stride along the road
to Hitlerism.
One of the provisions of the Smith-Connally
act is that labor unions must file regular state
ments of their finances, their income and their
expenditures What has this to do with winning
the war? How will it help even in the slightest
degree to bring us victory over the Japs? Then
why is it in the bill? Here is the answer: the big
employers want the books of the unions kept open
so that they may know at all times if the unions
are financially able to stand strikes. That's the
purpose; that is what this congress intended.
Another provision which is equally vicious
prohibits labor unions from contributing directly
or indirectly to political campaign funds and from
spending any money at all for political purposes.
in Washington or in Olympia to
protect the interests of the workers.
Does the Smith Connally measure also lay the
same restrictions on the wealthy and the en-
poyers? 1t does not. They may continue to buy
congressman and legislators to finance political
The hands of labor alone are tied.
If, in a union meeting, the members merely
discuss grievances against an employer whose
Operations remotely touch the war effort and if
two or more men quit their jobs in his plant, the
whole membership may be sent to prison and the
unions treasury may be confiscated through
lawsuits
If there is a strike, no matter what the cause,
the grocer who sells food to a striker may go to
jail. Strikers will forfeit all of their strike bene-
fits: it's crime to give striker dime for coffee.
Representative Smith, co-author of the bill,
admitted publicly few days ago that the purpose
of his measure is to smash the unions. He declared
that when the is over there will be anti-labol
legislation thta will go even farther than the
Smith-Connally measure. That is the hope, the
plan, of the poll-tax southern Democrats, and the
Wall Street-controlled Republicans.

BROADER SOCIAL SECURITY

\ AMENDMENTS to the Social Security Act
"A which which have just been introduced in
Congress would establish a national insurance
system to protect the wage-earners Of the country
in the event of unemployment or disability. IN
surance is the American method OF preparing
against such emergencies. This insurance is made
compulsory under government administration and
thus made financially within the reach Of all wage
earners.
We propose national system with insurance
covering unemployment, temporary and peIma-
nent disability, disqualification, medical care,
maternity benefits for working mothers We pro-
pose that all these benits shall be available for
those in the armed services upon their release:
We propose to extend coverage to practically all
workers in private industry including domestic
and agricultural workers, allowing state and local
governments employees to contract for cOVerage
if they wish.
The cost of this insurance is II per cent Of
payros--siX per cent paid by%Workers and SIX
per cent by employers The employers contribu-
tion would not increase over the rate Tor 1919
anticipated by existing law but the workers con-
trbutiOn would increase per cent to cover bene-
fits for dependents, sickness not due to work,
medical for the insured person and his family.
Unemployment benefits will be increased by
dependents allowances with maximum of $50
and a duration of 26 weeks normally and for 81
weeks in an emergency if funds permit Old-age
and survivors benefits are also increased the
maximum raised from $S5 to Sl3O and provisions
for dependent parents added.

system All now earning and can invest

can be had, they are given chance to maintain
self-dependence. Only an Employment Service

ONE SIDED STABILIZATION

THE AMERICAN Federation of Labor has been
warning those in charge of the economic sta
Utilization program that their failure to prevent
increases in retail prices, especially food prices,
lis threatening breakdown of the entire stabil-
izaton program.
Federation representatives serving on the
National War Labor Board have pointed out that
the failure to hold prices down, promised, has
made it inequitable to hold wages down. The valid
ty Of this contention is obvious.
Last April the Administration, instead of
moving to relieve the situation, issued the order
which effectively froze wages at existing levels,
although at that time the prices of food were al
ready far out of line.
it's right to correct gross nequites and to aid
Twelve thousand cases pending before the Board
were outlawed and workers patiently waiting for
decisions to come down were penalized for the
Boards sowness.
Modification of the hold d-the-line order was
inevitable. But the fundamental principles in
volved in the functionng of the War Labor Board
have not yet been clarified.
That the War Labor Boards exercise of it's
power to adjust wages was not intlationaly is
demonstrated by the report which the Board re-
Gently transmitted to the Senate This report
shows concluSlVely that wage adjustments au-
thoiiZed by, the Board had only q microscopic
effect on plices-in only eight cases out OF 5000
did the Boards wage decisions result in higher
prices.
If the cost Of living is permitted to continue
soaring while wages remain frozen, a large por-
ton of our population will be unable to secure
adequate nourishment. lll-fed workers cannot
produce at top speed.

DON'T STRIKE VOTE

THE SERIES of strikes, authorized and other

greSS bring into sharp focus the unrest which is
current in the rank-and-fle Of the labor move

Most widely mentioned grievance among union
men on strike is the fact that prices have gone
Sky-high while wages are frozen Ranking q close

advantage of the SOWneSS of present grievance
(through governmental! channelS) by
attempting to put across injuStces that they
would never nave dared in peacetime Most often,
though, strikes seem to come as spontaneous
protest against 4 matriX of causes that detieS

One thing stands out: Working men are OBJ

selves, but are confused and undecided as to the
means to III changing it. They instictivey fol-

However, now the problem has changed With
wages and working conditions frozen by the gov

problem of the aborng man is becoming more
and more political. Intelligent working men are
beginning to realize that they have only one etec-
