Murray's call for action on
taxes, not only while Congress-
men are at home on recess but
also when they reconvene in Sep
TENDER, was coupled with warm
ing that a selfish minority" was
laying plans for q drive to put
over the sales tax and other new
burdens on the low-income
groups.
Naming Senator George (poll-
taxer, Ga) and Representative
Disney Cd, okla) as mainsprings
of the drive for the sales tax as
opposed TO "any increased taxes
for personal high incomes or any
increase in corporate taxes" Muir
ray declared:
HITS PHONEY PROPAGANDA
''Their propaganda is 10 the eff
feet that the low-income groups
have an excess purchasing power
which is supposedly adding to the
dangers of imitation. This drive
seeks to levy a national wage cut
directed primarily against the low
income groups.
1.-THE issue before ms IL whether
we are going to permit national
wage cut to be imposed. Any
such result would be q direct
blow against the war effort"
Outlining a tax program that
would avoid this setback to the
war and would keep up the health
and productivity Of the civilian
population as demanded by Presi-
dent Roosevelt" Murray said that
no tax program must be al
lowed to cut into the income Of
the $30-a-week married couple
whose income Is barely enough
to enable them to purchase their
equitable share Of our civilian pro-
duction."
To secure real win-the-war tax
program from Congress this year,
Murray called for:
l. Income tax exemptions OF
$500 for single persons. 81, 500 for
married persons, and $500 for de-
pendents.
2. No sales taxes, on the
ground that they "cut into the
food and clothing budgets of war
workers and impair the health
and working efficiency of work.

SOUR NOTES

Some sour notes are bound to
occur, as the Los Angeles CLIO found
in calling on Rep. Ward Johnson,
who "is not only proud Of voting
against labor Is out of 10 times, but
has expressed himself in favor Of
a Federal sales tax"
A more positive note comes in the
report on Congressman Thomas J..
Lane of Massachusetts, who
pledged his continued support to
labor and 10 the win-the-war
policies of Pres. Roosevelt and
asked that union members COM
municate their views more often
to him." and who alibied for bad
votes on farm incentive payments
and crop assurances on the ground
that he had not heard from the
unions.

Political Action Committee set up
under the Craftsmanship OF Sidney

Conducting the third Of series
Of regional conferences, the
Political Action Committee was
scheduled to meet this week In
Birmingham, Ala, where repre-
sentatives of thousands of war
workers from CLIO unions were
called to a meeting to lay out
plans for action in the deep
South.
Detailed reports sent TO Adde's,
who was appointed by Pres. Muir
ray TO head the recess action COM
mittee following the decision OF the
CLIO Executive Board early last
month, show that CLIO members are
taking their job of working on the
Congressman seriously, and are
succeeding in mobilizing not only
their fellow CLIO members but large
groups of AFL, Railroad Brother
hood, women's auxiliaries, farm and
church groups as well.
TYPICAL EXAMPLES
Here are a few typical examples,
culled from many hundreds Of re-
ports from internationals, districts,
state and city Councils and local
CLIO unions, that show how the
whole idea of political mobilization
behind the win-the-war policies Of
Philip Murray, the CLIO and Presi-
dent Roosevelt is taking root.

gressive groups in organizing win

to put real teeth in the election

OHIO REPORTS
From Ohio. a state Council leaflet
issued by Jack Knoll, IUC president,
declares: ut is no secret that Con-
gressional Copperheads have
launched only their first attack on
labor in the form of the Smith
Connally bill" The leaflet quotes
from a CLIO Labor for Victory radio
program song by Langston Hughes
to clinch the point of political ac-
ton - Let's Hammer 1t Out
Together"
The Michigan CLIO state Council
tells its members, I'm describing
the job of the state action COM
mittee: cit will be their job to
convince citizens outside the labor
movement that the program we
advocate Is designed for all the
people, and not for union menu
bers alone. They will cooperate

groups, church groups, etc"
