CIO and AL
Demand Postwar
Labor Role

NEW YORK (FP) - Speaking
before AFL, CI0 and railroad union
representatives June IA, AFL Pres
ident William Green demanded a
major role for labor in postwar
reconstruction to attain the two
fold objective of enduring peace
and economic security.
Green and President Emil Rieve
of the Textile Workers U n o n
(CIO) jointly called upon workers
the world over to make tn e 7
voices heard, militantly, construc-
lively and insistently" at the peace
table. They spoke at meeting of
the American Labor Conference on
International Affairs, attended by
500 representatives.
Green asked for labor representa-
tion at all postwar discussions con-
cerning such reconstruction prob
lens as food, relief and trade re-
lations.
During his speech he praised the
Wagner Murray-Dingel bill, Social
Security Amendments of 1943, ar
guing that freedom from want will
prove an empty hope unless the
worker is protected against the
constant threat of being thrown
upon the scrap heap of industrial
progress"

Under the constitutional wage

gitim ate non-legislative body
which has as its purpose the pro-
vision of channel Of expression
for skilled group workers within

Each year shows an increase
and that they were doing "all
right" before 1887. Remember,
this is net profit after all ex-
penses are paid.
Never have the food Industrial
lists experienced better business.
Yet they are not satisfied. They
plan to increase the cost Of food
to the consumer. If they have
their way, instead of the war
reducing their profits, they will
swell still more at the consum-
er's expense.
The leaders of the National
Association of Retail Grocers
are quite willing to pass the
squeeze on to the consumer. P.
M. Brinker, president, states that
the operators of the 10000 stores
of the association are mot will
ing to submit to rules and regu-
lations just to satisfy the whims
and whams Of some dreamer who
uses the war as an excuse to
change our economic system"
He recommended that food
prices be set at the producers
levels, with mark-ups in the re-
tail and wholesale fields being
added to the professors prices.

Your STANDARD Of Living
By Clayton Rusch,

California Retail Grocers and
Merchants Association, objects
to consumers committees to
check food prices. He says the
establishment of such commit
tees insinuates that "grocers are
cheating the public"
Nor is support for the food
corporations lacking on the leg
islative front. Representative
Hartley, Republican, New Jer-
sey, has announced he is intro
ducing legislation to liquidate
OPA, and Senator O'Daniel,
Democrat, Texas, declared "a
big house cleaning of elected
officials is necessary to avert
dictatorship"
The UAW-CIO represents the
interests of the worker-consum-
ers. We demand that prices be
rolled back to May Is, 1912, or
wages be increased to meet the
increased cost of living.

Acting upon the decision of the
UAW- -CIO international Executive
Boards recommendation last week
in Toronto, Toledo UAW members

Takes Credit for Agency
Thomas reported that the single
agency set up by the President to
coordinate all government agen-
cies was what the UAW had been
asking for long time. However,
he pointed out that there was one
serious omission in the new agen-
cy, namely, labor was not repre-
Sented.
Other topics which Thomas re-
ported was that the executive
board had denounced the Jewish
atrocities of Nazi-occupied coun-
tries and urged the United Nations
to establish and finance havens
in neutral countries to which jew
ish people, fortunate enough to
escape, could go to live in peace
and security.
The other matter reported by
Thomas was the question of taxa
tion, which he said should be
based on ability to pay.

Chairman of Food Price Control
Committee, Local IL, UAW-CIO
We are told that food short
ages are caused by the war, but
this is only partly true. The
truth is, the shortage of food
available for workers is deliber-
ately made worse by certain in
dustrialists in order to get extra
profits.
The food manufacturers de-
manded price increases just at
harvest time last year, making
it clear that unless these in
creases were granted, the fruit
and vegetables would rot on the
ground. 1t was also suggested by
the Grocery Manufacturers of
America, headed by Paul S. Will
lis, that if this were allowed to
happen, an indignant public
might demand to know why the
crops were not saved. Respond
ing to this pressure, the OPA
permitted price increases in Aug
ust of last year in 400 to 500
food items.
PROFITS SMALL
According to the complaints
that come out of the offices of
the large food corporations about
their profits being small, one
would believe that these firms
were on the verge of bankruptcy.

Of this "seafood capital of the

attribute their 1912 boom to meat
shortages or whether Americans as

high on a wave of prosperity.

Quinn, Crisfeld business man and
city councilman. Even at these
prices. all the oysters that could
be shucked were sold"
whether because OF shortage
in other fresh foods. or because
the oysters real worth is recOg-
nized at last. the demand for BIZ
valves from this area is ahead OF
supply, and. as a consequence, oys-
tiers have hoped up into the pre-
ferred class" Quinn said
Crabmeat too, has hit high-spot

the men and women who open the
oysters in the packing houses. are
getting 40 cents a gallon for thoir
work, while crab pickers are draw
ing eight cents a pound.
