cerpts from the speech of Philip
Murray, president of the Congress
of Industrial Organizations, in out
lining the wage policies of CLIO.
> I think it was the universal
consensus of opinion of all the
people throughout the country, or
at least the overwhelming ma
jority of the people in this nation
of ours that when our nation be-
came involved in war and blood
had to be spilled and lives had to
be lost, there would be a real
equality of sacrifice and hat no
n individual or group of indi-
viduals would take advantage of
this thing we call a global blood
bath to extort profit or to fitch
money from the public pocketbook
at the expense of the war effort.
Q Records. produced and pre-
sented to various congressional
committees by both the Treasury
Department of the United States
and the Office of Price Admins
tration in the course of congress
sional hearings upon the funda-
mental question of taxes reveal
the rather astonishing fact that
a few people and a great many
corporations were extracting more
profit out of this var and out of
American industry than has ever
been taken out of the public pock-
etbook at any time in the history
of the United States. There is
something radically wrong with
an economic situation that permits
the development of conditions
such as that.
Wage Policies
o The wage policies of the Fed
eral Government are wrong, not
only in so far as they freeze under
these conditions the possibility of
American wage earners adjusting
their conditions so as to be able to
meet their country's war needs, but
to maintain their families in a
state of health and decency, main
tain the workers morale to a point,
and their health to a point, where
they will be able to report daily
to their respective occupations and
trades and produce the necessary
goods to keep the war going on.
O There is no desire on the part
of the CIO or any one of it's mil
lions of members to derive any
kind of special privilege out of
this situation in which our country
now finds itself. All that they
want is enough food to provide the
necessary nutrition to keep them
going, enough clothing, enough
medicine, enough medical care,
and a little home to protect and
shelter both them and their FAM
lilies.
CLIO. Program
. There is nothing in that sort
Of a program which contemplates
~extortion or prosecutes selfish in
terests. It is merely a desire, as
expressed in this resolution, on
the part of the CIO to get out of
this economy of ours something
approximating a square deal
. During the last war no directive
was ever issued by the Federal
Government which sought to re-
strain the operation of a grievance
committee in the correction of
abuses or the correction of in
equalities. This is the first time
to my own Individual knowledge
that the United States has ever
undertaken the responsibility of
regulating through the medium

possible thing.
0 No board that has ever been
created within the mind of man
has ever been able to do that any
do it efficiently and do it on a
practical basis. It is just a prac-
teal and physical impossibility.
Some leeway must be conceded;
the employee in the organization
with whom he has a collective
bargaining contract should be
privileged the right to enjoy these
ordinary collective bargaining
rights. -
