Congress Stalls

For many months, the consumers of
this country have been patiently waiting
for price rOllbacks which were promised
by the administration.
For many months, the workers wages
have been frozen by executive order, while
commodity prices have slowly gone up de-
spite efforts of the Office of Price Admin
istration to maintain ceiling over them.
And now Congress has decided to post
pone the price subsidy legislation for SO
DAYS and take a Christmas vacation which
will last until Jan. 10.
What the result of the failure of Con-
gress on price subsidies will be remains
to be seen. Certainly labor organizations
will not stand quietly by while real wages
decline due to gradual increase in COM
modify prices. That the demands of labor
to break the little steel formula will in
tensify cannot be doubted, demands which
perhaps will result in accomplishing their
aim.
Big interests in this country are seek
ing to bring about initiation for their own
private gain, an undertaking which may
succeed if labor succeeds in breaking the
little steel formula. These interests are
merely looking for an excuse for the infla-
tion which they seem determined to bring
about, and if labor could be made the goat,
they would be accomplishing a twO-fOld
purpose.
Labor must demand and get Congress
TO take up the price subsidies Immediately.
1t must expose and discredit the dollar pa
triots who are grasping upon present con-
ditions to demand a greater share in the
wartime profits. Ii must prove its case in
the court of public opinion, that the in,
equalities between wages and commodity
prices is damaging to the consumers of the
country, and get honest revision of the
wage rates, the rulings of the War Labor
Board within the little steel formula.
Unless labor acts decisively and quickly
to get effective action on price subsidies
when Congress recOnvenes, the danger of
initiation grows more acute, and labor
stands to be placed in the position of a
scapegoat.

Soldier Vote

When the soldiers returned home from
Europe after World War /, they were dis
gusted and resentful to discover that the
18th Amendment had been written into
the law of the land
Thousands of soldiers said, IF we had
been here and able to vote, the 18th
Amendment would never have been
passed.
We wonder what the soldiers are going
to say when they return home from World
War III and discover that Congress has ar
ranged il so that they not only cannot vote
while in the armed services, but that they
cannot run for public office unless they
hold commissioned rank in the Army,
Navy or Marines.
The same type of mentality which fos-
ters the poll tax and even now prevents
the repeal of this undemOcratic, un-Amer-
lean and unjust device TO prevent the col
Ored people and poor whites of the South
from achieving full citizenship, apparently
feels that they have the same reason TO
fear the soldier vote as they have to fear
the vote of thousands now disenfranchised
IN the SOuIn.
Our hope is that the soldiers who are
fighting to preserve democracy" on the
firing lines in Italy and in the Pacific, will
not hear of the action of Congress, for we
believe the news that Congress has made
1t practically impossible for them to vote
will be damaging to their morale. But most
OF all, We hope that when our soldiers re-
turn to civilian life, where they will not be
deprived of their vote (unless they live in
the poll TAX states and are unable to raw
the taxi, that they will rid Congress of
the second-rate statesmen. who are taking
advantage of the war to perpetuate them.
selves in office.
Ihere always comes day, and we look
forward with eager anticipation TO the day.
when the returned soldiers will register
their disapproval of the present Congress.
by kicking out of office the bigots, the DO
htical minded, the ignorant and stupid who
have denied the men in the armed services
the right for which they are fighting and
dying.

Dear Ollie:

Dear Ollie:
Congratulations on your re-
cent editorial on Homer Ramey.
1t was one of your better efforts
and certainly struck respon-
sive chord with we.
| well remember some of our
past discussions to the effect
that it does little good to string
along with these two-bit politi-
clans-praising them hopefully
for an occasional good vote on
one-sided issue and then up
braiding them reproachfully for
stunning blow delivered on
important, hotly contested leg
islation.
1t is my opinion that Mr..
Ramey, while very conscious of
social problems (even as the
NAM), is sadly lacking in So
cial conscience. This character
istic he holds in common with
most of the others on the po-
litical stage today.
Certainly these public fig
ures" deserve nothing better

Replies To Bochor

Dear sir:
Last week, Robert Bachar
wrote letter in this column
stating that he didn't approve
of Ed Duck writing about the
Auto-Lite Units problems. |
come from Auto-Lite and 1 dis
agree with Brother Bachar and
I'll tell you why.
Not one person out of 100 un-
derstands what has gone on at
Auto-Lite. They thought they
did, and so did l, until Ed Duck
produced the proof for a lot of
things. I'm satisfied that every
thing he says is true, otherwise
someone would have preferred
charges against him.
| attended the last meeting
held by Duck, and can hardly
wait until the next one. think
all Auto-Lite workers should at
tend and not be fooled b., stories
coming from the committee.
Some of our people should hear
the clauses which Duck read
from company union" con-
tracts negotiated and signed by
Jack Thompson, Everett Weav-
er Louis Didisse and Robert
Lorton.
Duck also produced signed
statement of a deal pulled by
Thompson's side kick, Ellsworth
Kramer, at the City Machine
and Tool Co. And Lester Byrd
was exposed too. And | under
stand there's a lot more that
hasn't yet been told.
Howard Cutcher exposed q
few things at the last meeing
also, and | paid attention that
RED" Claypool didn't have
word to say in his own defense,
although he was at the meet
ing and had an opportunity to
deny the charges made.
| too hate to see these things
printed lin paper, even a labos
paper, but l know that Ed. Duck
took the bull by the horns in the
only possible way the job could
be done.
For years, a lot of Auto-Lite
workers have been asking how
to get rid of certain committee
men. The answer is-join the
Duck-Cutcher group and do the
job in the February elections.
As for unity, there hasn't been
any, even among the committee,
and the company has been TAX
ing advantage of the sitaution
for years.
My advice to Bachar is. don't
make up your mind until you
have heard the things we heard
at Ducks meeting. | urge all
sincere Auto-Lite members to
attend the next educational
meeting" and learn the truth
about the committee. If you
have anything you wish to bring
out about the committee, put it
in writing, because Duck will
not say anything that he can
not prove.

boys on the fighting front know it is impossible
to do anything but fight your way forward, so
that Victory may be ours and you may soon be
home.
All of the American workers on the production
front want you to know that we realize that
your contribution to the war effort is many times
greater than ours. We are doing everything back
home that we can to produce the products of war
you need that you may accomplish the great
victory we are all looking forward to-
You American soldiers have proved not only
to America but to the world, that there is
force greater than United America, and that so
long as the flag of glory waves over America
we shall give, unto our death, that Old
Glory may wave so that we may have free
America to live in with the right of democracy
at all times, free expression of voice, the right
to do the things that we ourselves feel, our right
so that may proceed to make America even a
greater nation than it now is for all of the people
within it. | could say many things that
| know should say to express the opinion of the
workers in Toledo towards you boys but find
it quite impossible to express from my heart, and
put into words, the great feeling that have for
everyone of you AS you follow life's road you
will realize that each and everyone of you shsS
go down in lfes history as being part of keep
ing America free. This should encourage ",
and strengthen you in your determination that
victory will be ours. -

that each and everyone of you may b.

and hope that each and everyone of you will have
peace and health and luck, and that God watch

normal life, living the way that God intended we
should live.
