THE MESSENGER BOYS

THREE OF the public" members Of the Ma
tional War Labor Board Wayne Morse eX-
cepted) got cold feet last April, although the
weather was warming up. They ran to the White
House for advice and counsel on the treatment OF
chilblans resulting from exposure to the coa
miners wage demands.
Instead of advice and counsel, they got orders
from Jimmy ByInes and his successor as Eco
nomic Stabizaton Director, Fred Ninson. They
have been getting orders and taking them on key
wage decisions ever since. Instead Of acting on
their own judgment, they have been serving as
messenger boys.
Well they got treated as messenger boys IN
the final decision in the mine workers case. The
President went over the WLB's head and author
lied Secretary of the Interior lckes to negotiate
contract with the union. He did. In so doing, he
overrode the WLBs own decision in the case and
broke its first rule against dealing with union
while a strike was in progress.
The Ickes contract was bitter pill for the
messenger boys to swallow. They sputtered all
over the lot. Having reegated themselves to the
role Of messenger boys, they couldn't take out
their anger publicly against the White House Oh
Ickes. SO they took a sock at labor-the unions
which have been complying fully with the no
strike policy and which have been getting more
bitter than sweet in VILE decisions.
All Of which goes to prove that YOU can't eX-
pect StateSmans4lip from messenger boys.

STERILIZATION INVISIBLE

| ET'S TAKE look at this "stabilization' pro
- gram.
1t was first announced by President Roosevelt
on April %, 1912. The President proposed Z
point program. This program he said was IN
tvslble." In other words, he insisted that unless
every point in the stabilization front held the
entire line would collapse. How prophetic these
words were is shown by the results.
Point No l in the Presidents program was to
keep personal and corporate profits at "a low lever
Through heavy taxes and limitation on net IN
comes. Congress promptly kicked this out the
window.
Point No. was fixed ceilings on prices and
rents Controls rents have been fairly effective
i'm some communities, although as whole evasions
have been numerous and profteering rampant
Ceilings on prices have been completely ineffective
lin controlling the cost of living. Even the index
kept by the Bureau of Labor Statistics which only
partially reflects actual cost of living Increases
proves that prices have not been stabilized Every
housewife in the country knows the facts.
Point No. 3 required the stabilization of wages
This has been effected vigorously by the War
Labor Board and other Government agencies
Through the inhexbe Little Steel" formula.
Point No sought stabilization of farm prices
lat parity Congress rejected this ceiling, estab-
lshed higher rates and is now trying to make the
sky the limit by turning down any form of Gov
ernment subsidy program.
Points No. 5, and called for the sale of War
Bonds, rationng Of scarce commodities and dis
of instament credit. These have
been complied with in varying degrees
Thus, analysis Of what has happened to the
Presidents program shows that instead of getting
rehabilitation indivisble' America now faces "sta-
bzaton invisible" except for wages.
OF course, Congress never enacted the Presi-
dents program in toto. Instead, it adopted the
Economic Sterilization Act of 1912. This law held
that wages and prices were in equitable relation
ship as of Sept. 49, 1912, and should be stabilized
at that level.
That law has been enforced with respect to
wages, except in one or two individual instances.
1T has not been enforced to any appreciable ex-
tent with respect to prices that enter into the cost
of living. How much longer does labor have to
wait before this law is fully enforced?
Is it any wonder that the nations wage earners
are myStiied by ali this talk of "stabiliZation'
Is it at all surprising that they are demanding re-
lief from an ntolerable situation?

WISE GUYS FLEECED

BUSINESS MEN in Washington recently We're
~ taken for ride by man who registered at
the capitals newest luxury hotel, the Statlel, as
Ia "Mr. Smith, The guy Just told everyone he was
representing Warner Bros. and was in Washing
ton to supervise filming of play called Capital
|Capers," and engaged rooms for several topnotch
movie stars, cashed checks, borrowed money
threw cocktail parties, hired actors, and was a
|Well-liked big shot generally
To the credit of "Mr. Smith," he did not ex-
tract money from widows and orphans; he got it
from men who know what it is all about, men who
wouldn't lend you dollar unless you left your
right arm for security. His debts when he slipped
out Of town estimated at $4,000.
The I'Bl finally caught him in Chicago, and we
learn that he not only has been doing these little
stunts for 20 years but he was actually former
resident of WaShington's own penal institution
Perhaps with such career behind him, and
with so much experience in the way of fleeing
the wise guys there was some excuse for business
men being fooled.

GOVERNMENT CONTRACT NOT KEPT

COME CONGRESSNlEN seem to really believe
~ that an increase in wages for working people
will mean imitation, and they are perhaps right II
there were to be general increase in wage levels
of any considerable amount an. ....
These same Congressman, however, are little
concerned about increases in the cost of living for
these same working people. Even increases in
their own living expenses don't seem to worry
them. Perhaps it's because their salaries are so
large they don't notice it, but working folks, who
must pay out everything they earn to buy enough
food clothing and shelter to live decenty do no
tice it, and their only relief is to get more wages.
American Federation of Labor officials agreed
to abandon the right to strike during the present
and government officials agreed to
prevent any increase in prices of commodities we
must buy every day. Labor, generally, has made
good on its commitment, but everyone knows that
prices have been running wild, especially on foods
essential foods which we all must buy.
contract is an agreement by two parties,
each to do certain things If one party fails to live
up to that contract the other party automatically
is released. Labor is still doing 99.4 percent no.
strike job, but the government has not effectively
controlled prices

NATIONAL SERVICE ACT

FrOm The journal of Electrical WOrkers)
JUST AS THERE has been confusion in the pub
|" lie mind about the effect of strikes in war pro-
ducton, there has been confusion in the public
mind on shortage Of labor Actual facts cannot be
produced to prove that there has been total
shortage of labor in the United States. 1t is true
there has been shortage of certain crafts 1t is
true there has been a shortage of men in certain
war production areas. Indeed the true issue be-
mind the So-called manpoWer shortage is one of
Door management on the part of the national War
|Manpower Commission and not an actual shortage
The danger, of course, in this painting of the
War ManpoWer Commission is, that it is going to
be used to introduce in Congress a bill for ma
|uonal service act. Labor does not want national
service act for many reasons chief of which is, it
lis not needed. At no time in the last two wears
has there been danger of an invasion in this
country. The United States has a margin of time
n military operations that Great Britain has never
HAD.

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

| International arms merchant, large
StOckholder in one of our airplane cor
porations, admitted to House commit
tee that he had sold weapons to Japan,
but mot since 1888"
OF course, we were not at war with
to sell anything to her at that time.
And taking full advantage of this
privilege, Japan bought enough war
material from us to last her for a
while.
| 1t must be peculiar feeling, how
ever, to know that the scrap iron, the
airplanes, the guns you sold to TOTO in
1888, or any other year, are now being
used to slaughter American soldiers,
sailors and marines in the Pacific.
And in return for the profits you
made on those deals our government
a million-fold to stop Japanese control
of the entire Pacific area.
If there is anything worse than be
ing poor it must be being rich-by such
methods.

'Maisie Gets Her Man Ends Run Tonight al

Laughter and romance are ex- pertly blended in "Maisie Gets Her Man, newest in Metro-G -Goldwyn- Mayors series involving the abili- ties of Ann Sothern and Red Skalton The picture shows for the last times tonight at the Capitol Theatre.
 The story is a fast-moving one which takes place against the back ground of the Larceny Building, a dingy edifice which has the offices for an assortment of small-time promoters and bookies.
 One of the factors that lend un- diminished interest to the film is the strong supporting cast with Donald Meek, Allen Jenkins, Leo Gorcey, the ex-Dead End kid, Fritz Field and Rags Ragland among the expert players in the lesser roles.
 The picture marks one of the few non-musical ventures of Director Roy Del Ruth, remembered for his work in the Broadway Melody series and most recently in The Chocolate Soldier"
