The board called for repeal of
the socalled victory tax, an ex-
panded social security program as
a war necessity, firm opposition to
sales tax and the Ruml plan, and
increase of taxes on corporate
profits to $3.50. Rates on all income
taxes brackets starting at $4,000,
and increasing progressively after
$4,000, should be moved sharply
upward, and maximum net income
in no case should exceed, after tax

A. R. MAJOR made about one of

why the company management
never left MAJOR into negotiations
with the union. One of the en-

American Labor
Por+y Urges
Wage Revision
BY Federated Press

NEW YORK-The socalled Lit
tie Steel wage formula, outmoded
by the rising cost Of living, shifts
the burden of hating initiation ex-
clusively on the workers" the
American Labor party said Feb.
IL in a statement to government
officials urging revamping of the
wage stabilization order.
The statement, prepared at the
request of 80 AFL and CIO
unions affiliated with the ALP,
points out that the only two
planks of President Roosevelt's
seven-point program for curbing
initiation which have been en-
forced concern wage freezing and
voluntary savings.
Labor accepted the Little Steel
formula at the time it was pro-
claimed because it was anxious to
help win the war against infla-
tion," the statement says. 1t
knows that labor is always the
chief victim of inflationary trends.
But if initiation is to come because
congress lacks the ourage to take
prompt and effective measures to
implement the entire program and
make it enforcible, labor cannot be
expected to bear the brunt of the
fight"

Information on
Wagner Act
By Federated Press

NEW HAVEN, Conn.-Publisher
John Day Jackson Of the New
Haven Register and Journal
Courier has finally learned to his
regret that taking away a re-
porter's bylins because of union
activity is violation of the
Wagner Act.
Gladys Solomon, reporter and
book reviewer for Jackson's paper,
has received s2,500 back pay and a
reinstatement offer from Jackson
on NLRB orders. She took the
check and the job and Immediately
resigned.
Miss Solomon was deprived of
her byline in the spring of 1941
because she was active as secretary
Of the New Haven local of the
American Newspaper Guild (CIO).
When the guild filed an NLRB
complaint, Jackson retaliated by
firing Miss Solomon. The NLRB
found that both the withdrawal Of
the byline and the discharge were
discriminatory. Not only did Jack
son lose the Solomon case but he
has been forced to post notices
that he will no longer discourage
membership in the guild.

OPA wanted a graphic explana-

no budget for motion pictures.
The union used Leon Schlesing-

Although they were thousands

Union Labels
BY BILL HEALY
Union Labels Director

That little union label, or as we
know it, "Union bug" which the
clothing stores hide in your inside
coat pocket, doesn't seem to have
much sales appeal, or they would
put it out where it belongs, right
under the brand name of the cloth
ing.
And the reason why union made
clothing doesn't have sales appeal
is because union people do not
ask for and demand the label of
their clothing.
How do union people expect to
increase work for union clothing
workers when they don't ask for
the label on the things they wear?
Recently / went into a down.
town hat store and purchased a
hat. The brand was one l knew
carried the union label, so I de-
cided to have little fun with the
salesman. "Does this hat carry
the union label?" l asked. 81 don't
think so," said the clerk as he
looked a bit taken aback. So /
pulled the hat off my head, handed
it back to him and said, "Then take
your dashed hat" l said, II want
one with a union label"
When the poor salesman looked
like he was going to have nerv-
Gus breakdown, / pulled the hat
down and showed him the label
where it would not show. Look for
the label in all your clothing.

CIO, AFL and RR
Brothers Unite Against
ReactiOnaries
By Federated Press

BY Federated Press
WASHINGTON-A coalition on
the legislative front of the CIO,
AFL and railway brotherhoods has
been formed to take the offensive
against the coalition of poll takers,
defeatists and labor batting Re-
publicans which is making war on
the Presidents seven point eco
nomic program.
CIO Pres. Philip Murray in con-
nection with the annual CIO ex-
ecutive board meeting here Feb. 5,
S and Z announced that organiza-
ton was under way to bring the
full weight of the three branches
of labor to the support of legisla-
ton for total war.
Every local of the CIO has been
instructed to rally support in the
field and make it known to con-
gress. Locals action demanding a
win-the-war tax program, support
ing pay-as-you-go method of col
lection and taking sharp issue with
the Ruml plan, already is under
way.
In a three day session here the
executive board in a series of care
fully considered actions reflected
the new approach labor is bringing
to the pressing problems of 1943.
Far from being a labor as usual
approach it considered wages not
as an end in itself, or as in a vac
cuum, but as a necessary means
of production, and only in relation
to equitable taxes, complete ration
ing and price control, without
which wages have no meaning. The
board pointed out:
Board Makes Recommendation
Wages must be adjusted to allow
for the increase cost of living
which has occurred since May, 1912.
Substandard wages and other in
equalities mus be corrected.
Tax legislation must allow low
income groups sufficient money
to buy their share of available
goods. Additional revenue must be
obtained from other groups and
through increased corporate taxes
and the elimination of special
privileges.
Economic Sterilization Director
James Byrnes has the authority to
control prices, rationing and tax
alton to stabilize the economy, and
is called on by the CIO to apply
overall rationing and stop black
markets. "The American people
will not tolerate any continued
hesitation and delays on the part
of the various government agencies
charged with these tasks"
A civilian office to control all
supply and production, along the
lines called for in the Tolan-
Pepper bill, was demanded.
Black Market Spreads
Because of the absence of over
all rationing and effective price
control the ravages of the black
market are beginning to spread.
the CIO found. Statements from
government officials such as But
ter is too scarce to be rationed"
smack of Alice in Wonderland.
"While the Natl. War Labor
Board has sought to stabilize wages
there has been a breakdown in the
control Of prices. The approach
to this problem cannot be the de-
sruction Of the National War La
Dor Board or the undermining of
sound economic stabilization pro-
gram. No solution can be based on
the appeasement of any one group
which urges merely its selfish mar
row interests at the expense of the

/ irrational details of lend lease

lean army training films. In turn
films showing Russian technique
in hand -to-hand fighting, winter
camouflage, winter cavalry, para
chute training, defense of a city
from tank assault have been fur
nished our War Dept.
Films are placing specialized
military techniques developed by
one ally at the disposal of all the
United Nations.
So efficient are films in army
training that the signal corps is
doubling its program, scheduling
SIS training films for 1943. Pro-
duction will be centered in Holly
wood in order to use facilities and
technicians with a minimum of
disruption.
The output of training films
may run to 1000 reels-409o of
| Hollywood's normal production.
There may have to be that much
of a cut in entertainment produc-
tion.
Camera Shortage Is Serious
The motion picture camera sit
uation is serious. The modern
camera is a precision machine that
only a few firms can produce. 1t
is hard to get enough aluminium
for it's construction. A studio Off
cial estimated privately the other
day that there are only $50 cam
eras in Hollywood, and that the
army is calling for half of them.
Gregor risky, chief engineer of
the Soviet Unions film industry,
was in Hollywood recently to
check on progress in manufactur-
ing Mitchell cameras and Bell &
Howell film printing machines. He
was particularly urgent about the
cameras - essential war imple-
ments for training, morale and
propaganda.
Vivid war scenes now reaching
the newsreels only suggest the war
role of the camera. That exciting
record of the repulse of an air at
tack on one of our aircraft car
riers drew editorial mention in the
London Daily Express, together
with Paramount's Wake Island
drama, as making the English
understand "the grimness of the
Pacific battle"
The camera has technical uses
in war operations. 1t is also
building up an official library of
evidence to be drawn upon when
the wars criminal responsibilities
are ultimately assessed.
