More Corn,
More Beef?

Mr.. E. L. Mason, district price
officer of the Office of Price Ad-
min~istration, stated last week that
they had received information
from various parts of the country
that the corn supply was begin
ming to move onto the market.
Two primary reasons are re-
sponsible for this, MI. Mason said.
First, a definite statement by MFR.
Prentiss Brown, OPA admins
traitor, that corn prices are not to
be raised, has helped to stabilize
the corn market, and has caused
it to flow more freely to the
market. Second, the farmers, as a
whole, realize that corn is one of
our most important basic COM
modities and that by holding up
the shipment of such an import
ant commodity we greatly impair
the war effort, especially since
this commodity has such an in
fluence on other markets and COM
modities.
The movements of corn in othei
areas will undoubtedly be. felt in
our immediate area very soon and
it will tend to release the pres
sure, somewhat, experienced by
those dealing in corn, mixed feeds,
and cattle feeders.

The Way ! See It
Continued from Page y

I am proud to say that my
union, the CIO, is insisting that
the manufacturers live up to the
directive order on equal pay"
The cost of living today is ris-
ing faster than our pay checks are
able to stand. I know that there
is room for improvement on this
core. We are rapidly nearing the
time when our standard of living
will be decreased, unless prices
are rolled back. We must do all
we can to assist our commander
in-chief in holding the line against
initiation.
We of the CIO at this time have
no desire to become rich at the
expense of u country. We do
not wish to sit idly by, and grow
porer, while the favored groups
become richer through the wal
effort. I am sure that this is the
sentiment of all working people
regardless of their union affilia-
tons.
Let us hope that something eff
fective is done in the near future
regarding the high cost of living.
Let us all help in our small way
to prevent initiation. Those ways
are many. Write your elected
representatives your opinions, sign
roll-back petitions, hold commun-
ity meetings with your congress-
men, protest through your unions,
and above all register and vote
in the coming elections.
In the next issue of the Dayton
Union News I will continue to set
forth my viewpoints on present
day matters. Again I urge all of
you to register and vote for those
whom you think will best repre-
sent you.
, 1943-08-05

tdentally, if you have noticed when
figuring up your pay for the
week, 19c per hour is added to
the hourly rate. This 19c is what
the union has secured for you in
raises since its establishment three
years ago, and its previous or
ganizational drives. In this way
you can see that your union dues
of ST. a month are returned to you
in less than six hours pay, not
counting other benefits gained by
the union, such as night bonus
and vacation pay. Organization
got these benefits for us. Girls, if
you want the equal pay that you
deserve, if you want to help main
tain wage standards for the men
now overseas, join your union,
stick together by attending meet
ings and using your voice and
your vote. Anything that is worth
having is worth fighting for.

versity shows that union members
are buying far more War Bonds
than other people in the same in
come group.
About 80 per cent of the union
members, practically all of whom
come in the lower so per cent
income group, are buying bonds,
compared to only SO per cent for
non-union members in the same
income class.
Figures for the nation as a
whole show that 1877 per cent have
bought bonds. -.

organized labor last week warned
again that it will demand revision

Why Is a Union?
BY RUTH c
UE Local 8O1

The other day I preached the
/ subject of the union with one of
] the new girls in the shop. "Wait
a minute" she said, you're not
telling me a thing. I've worked
in a few shops and always I found
that where we girls stuck together
we got results. United we stand,
divided we fall isn't that so??"
Abraham Lincoln with the aid of
| Shakespeare could not improve
upon that sentiment. Nothing
/ could be truer.
Some girls who are going to
work now for very good and
i patriotic reasons have never be-
fore worked in a shop and don't
see just what the union is for.
It's very simple. Just imagine
yourself taking up an argument
with the General Motors Corpora
ton without the aid of the griev-
ance machinery, the committeeman
or your fellow workers, just you
versus GIN. How far do you
think you'd get? Yes, you can
always quit, but you wouldn't be
helping to win the war by quit
ting and you'd be out your pay
check and lose what seniority
you'd acquired.
But you are fortunate in coming
into the factory today when the
union has already been estab-
lished. Plenty of blood, sweat and
tears have gone into the estab-
lishment of that organization. Now
you don't have to carry on your
arguments alone. The grievance
machinery has been set up for
your benefit, and ono your grew
ance is filed with the union it is
no longer just you versus GIN,
because your grievance has the
backing Of every union member
now, and the company cannot just
give you the old brush-off. It's
all for one and one for all -.
that is the power Of organization.
In other words, the union is
Just you and me and the rest of
our fellow workers sticking to-
gether sticking together for
victory during this war and al
ways sticking together to raise
our standard of living and inn
prove conditions of work. Incl

Good Morning,
Mr.. Dupont!

(The following dialogue is re-
printed from Remco News, issued
by Remington Arms Local 252,
Bridgeport, Conn.,:
Pat: Good morning Mr.. Dupont.
Dupont: Good morning Pat -
What's on your mind?
Pat: I've a great idea, Mr.. Du-
pont.
Dupont: Always glad to get
ideas from my workers - let's
have it.
Pat: I'm thinking of setting up
a union for the manufacturers.
Dupont: What are you trying to
do-kid me Pat? I already belong
to a union, the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers.
Pat: Oh, they are a bunch of
outside radicals. I mean we should
have our own manufacturers
union right here at Remington.
We can be independent.
Dupont: No manufacturer can
be independent today, Pat. He's
got to belong to a union with a
nationwide hookup.
Pat: See here, Mr.. Dupont. Why
can't we keep it right here in our
family at Remington?
Dupont: But Pat, my boy, no
manufacturer can live alone. |
have ties with manufacturers not
only in the U. S. but all over the
world. My interests are global.
Pat: Let's stick to Bridgeport.
Forget this international globalo-
ney.
Dupont: Now look here, Pat.
There's a war on. This is the time
to make hay, and my union does
a job for us in Washington.
Pat: I don't believe in mixing
politics with unions.
Dupont: Really Pat, you hand
me a laugh. Everything is politi-
cal today. My profits, your wages.
Pat: Why pay dues to an out
side organization; My union will
only charge ST. a year.
Dupont: You're a Remington
worker. I'm a manufacturer. Why
should you set up a worker-dom-
mated manufacturers union. My
economic interests are different
from yours.
Pat: Well, you set up the Rem
ington Independent, didn't you?
Dupont: So what?
Pat: What's sauce for the goose
is sauce for the gander.
Dupont: You must think I'm
as gullible as those who pay dues
to the Remington Independent.
Pat: Well, Mr.. Dupont, if you
won't join-then there are other
ways.
Dupont: Don't try to bully me,
wise guy. I won't stand for it.
I'll have my poll tax friends in
Congress pass a National Manu-
facturers Relations Act. I'll make
it illegal for you to set up a
worker dominated manufacturers
union.
Pat: That's communistic. Martin
Dies and Pegler will hear about
this.

White House meeting of the Com
bined Labor War Board, CLIO
President Murray declared:
"The price control law passed
by Congress on October 2, 1912
made a commitment to the Amer
lean people that prices as well as
wages wer to be stabilized at the
level of September Is.
"It is the considered judgment
of all organized labor that this
congressional commitment should
be carried out, otherwise we shall
have no alternative but to ask the
lifting of the Little Steel formula"
The CLIO and AFL representa-
tives presented a joint statement
to the President, which reminded
him of his own statement, in his
July 2 message vetoing the anti
subsidy bill, that the roll-back of
food prices is necessary to carry
out the mandate of Congress in
the October 2 act, to stabilize
wages and prices so far as prac-
ticable on the basis of the
levels which existed on Septem-
Der Is, 1912"
CITE BROWNS STATEMENT
But despite this, Price Admins
traitor Prentiss Brown on July Is
publicly stated that he has no
present plan to substitute a roll
back of food prices beyond that
which you had authorized in May
of this year," the labor men de-
clared.
eve are unable to find any
steps being taken at the present
time to carry out your detectives"
they said.
IF your administrators have de-
cided not to carry out in full the
program which you proposed and
which the Congress permits, it
will of course be impossible for
organized labor to continue in its
support of the wage and price
sterilization program as now
formulated"
The joint labor statement en- .
phasized "the desperate conse-
quences to the American people Of
failure to hold the line on both
prices and wages" and concluded:
IF failure to carry out the sta
of prices in line with
wage sterilization brings the con-
sequences which you have stated
must inevitably follow, organized
labor canont be held to account
for that result which it did not
seek and which it has exerted all
it's efforts to avoid"
