CIO Lists Essentials
Of Postwar Economy

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4-(FP)
Plans for meeting the postwar
aspirations Of the people must be
made now, the CIO convention
said Nov. 2 in a resolution out
lining six essentials to a sound
postwar economy:
/. Jobs at union wages,
2. Well-built homes, decently
furnished.
8. Good food, clothing and medi-
cal care.
A. Good schooling for children.
5. Incomes through social in
surance in case of sickness, old
age, early death of the wage earn
er, or unemployment
6. Guarantee of the right of
every worker to joih a union o:
his own choosing and to enjoy
benefits of collective bargaining.

both given support by the
Joint Labor Committee, ran
strong races and were elected
on the first count, Mayor Roulet
being declared elected on the 225th
precinct counted, and Mr.. Disable
being elected on the 308th precincE.
Burke Surprises
Running in third place was the
labor-backed candidate Tom Burke
who stayed in that position during
the entire count. Burke's chances
for third place fell short when
Councilman Howard W. Etchen was
"cut up" with Mr.. Thatcher receiv-
ing his quota and Burke coming
within 36 votes of being elected.
Burke's election came following
the defeat Of Councilman Charles
D. Hoover, who has served in
Council for 26 years.
Arthur NJ. Jurrus and Ira Bame,
Council incumbents, both of whom
were endorsed by the Joint Com
mittee, were elected the former
in the fifth, the latter in the eighth
position. This is the first time in
the past two elections that MI.
Bame has finished above ninth
position, ample evidence of the
value of the backing of the Joint
Labor Committee.
Frank Biniakiewicz and John
Kelly, both endorsed by CLU and
Labor's Joint Committee were de-
feated. Mr.. Biniakiewicz finished
10th and Mr.. Kelly 18th. Both
men are Democrats.
Republicans Still Dominant
When the new Council goes into
office January l. it will be COM
posed of seven Republicans and
two Democrats, the latter being
Mr. Disable and Mr.. Burke. This is
gain of one seat, since Council
man George c. Bryce, serving the
unexpired term of former Mayor
John Q. Carey, did not seek elec-
ton.
Two other new members Of
Council who were elected were
Earl o. Lehman and Ralph B.
Millard. Mr.. Lehman was elected

LITTLE FALLS, MINI. (FP)-
In a thinly disguised attempt to
smear organized labor, the Morri-
son County draft board, consisting
of two retired business bigwigs and

strike of its own here. The board
said it would refuse to induct any
more men "until all strikes are set
tlod for the duration"
In statement to President
Roosevelt, Minnesota congressman
and state selective service head
quarters, the four-man board an
nounced its own strike against the
war effort.

At one point of the meet
ing, it appeared that the la
Dor people present, number
ing in excess of 600 persons, would
not let Mr.. Gill proceed, after he
insisted on telling a story about a
an understood, undernourished bull
frog who talked too much. The
story Mr.. Gill insisted upon telling
above the boos and catcalls of the
audience, was inspired by a 10
minute TRADE against the WLB, de-
livered by Edward Duck, educa-
tional director of Local IL, JAW
CIO.
After about 10 minutes of booing

dience demanding were here to

Gosser Of the UAW-CIO arose and
quieted the crowd saying, "allow

that, no stories but direct answers

TroyPaper
Fights Unions

TROY, Nov. S.-Arguments and
vicious propaganda of the Troy
Daily News against unions seeking
to organize Troy plants bore fruit
here last week when the AFL lost
an election at the Hobart Manufac-
turing Co. with No Union receiving
more than 800 votes.
Principal of the arguments used
against the unions seeking to or
ganize local plants is that the fac
tories in Troy have a large per-
centage of imported labor which
will leave the city when the war is
over.
Second of the arguments used is
to the effect that the city will not
be "large enough and prosperous
enough to withstand the strain i'm
posed.
Waco Being Organized
1t is confidently felt that the next
concentrated attack which will
come on labor will be directed
against the UAW-CIO, which is in
process of organizing the Waco
plant and has secured a large group
of employees in its organization.
Harold Tull, UAW-CIO organizer
in charge of the membership cam
paign at Waco, commenting on the
Troy Daily News union attacks,
said, "This is the usual situation
found in small towns. 1t seems that
the smaller the town, the more i'm

Great Britain Is

Why Not the u. S.?

LONDON-COst of living
levels in Great Britain have
remained at about 2S-29%
above 1889 with only slight
fluctuation for several months,
the bulletin of the Interna-
tional Federation of Trade
Unions states.
Food prices have been un-
changed for at least two
years, around 208o above the
pre-war level. Sterilization is
attributed to Britain's price
control policy, which makes
wide use of subsidies.
