Main purpose of the committee
is to organize all workers, to-
gether with farmers and other
groups, for the election of a real
victory Congress in 1914, but sit
is also looking beyond 1914 and
planning for a permanent politi-
cal organization of labor" he
wrote.
This purpose rules out a third
party at this time, not only be-
cause of the impossibility of
placing such a party before the
people in time for 1914, but also
because "a third party would only
serve to divide labor and the
progressive forces" now.
Broad political unity is the main
weapon of the committee, the re-
port said. Labor unity on the
political front will not only mobil-
ize millions of organized workers
and their families, but will stimu-
late and rally broad non-labor
groups" as we'll.
President Murray, in writing
about the need for action, sharply
criticized labor's political apathy
in 1872" which resulted in the
anti-victory Congress that has been
in action since the last elections.
The committee, which was set
up in July, 1943, is headed by
Sidney Hilman, with Van A.
Bittner vice chairman, r. J.
Thomas secretary, and David J.
Mcdonald and Albert J. Fitz-
gerald.
In citing the work of the COM
mittee since then, Murray said
that ut has met with an en-
thusiastic response to it's program,
keen appreciation of the burning
need for the type of political &C
ton it's program calls for, and
eagerness to carry forward the
task of organizing on the political

Jobs for Soldiers

CIO is well aware of postwar
problems, the report showed, and
is moving to protect the interests
of the men in the armed forces
who will come back after the vic
tory is won. In this Connection
Murray pointed to the 10000
CIO members already in the armed
forces.
In the final warning against al
lowing "insidious anti British and
anti Soviet propaganda" to give
Hitler "the respite he needs to
rebuild his forces" Murray said:
"The answer of organized labor
to this danger is clear. We pledge
our continued and undivided sup
port to our Commander-in in Chief
in fighting men, in production
and in patriotism to enable the
United Nations to smash forward,
with the coalition offensive that
has been initiated, to an simme-
date military destruction of the
fascist Axis"
, 1943-11-11
Organizing for Victory

A remarkable growth in CLIO
membership during the past year
was reported by President Philip
Murray. The dues paying men,
bership increased 1,104,936 from
August, 1912, to August, 1913.
with this increase in member
ship, our movement is stronger in
every way than at any time in its
history" Murray reported.
Adding the increase in CLIO Ca
madam membership to this brings
the overall increase to 1,135,986
in the u. S. and Canada.
The organization department is
headed by Vice-President Allan
S. Haywood. CLOS largest union,
the United Automobile Workers,
tops the list with a present mem
bership of more than a million.
Following closely is the United
Steelworkers whose ranks rose by
183,264 during the year bringing
the total to 1880 members or
gained in 1900 local unions
Other big unions in the war in
dustries also made phenomenal
gains.
The United Electrical, Radio &
Machine Workers took in $4,000
new members; the Marine & Ship
building Workers increased $50
per cent; the United Rubber
Workers enrolled 10000 during
the year.
The CIO has 40 national and
international unions and organiz-
ing committees, 1856 directly af-
filiated industrial unions, and 287
industrial union councils.
, 1943-11-11

ministrative recognition, however,
has not yet been granted to labor,
the report states, due to "the
failure of heads of various gov
eminent agencies to appreciate the
tremendous added impetus which
would be given to the war effort
if labor were permitted to par
ticipate directly in all policy-mak-
ing as we'll as administrative
functions"
A number of CLIO officers and
members of CLIO international
unions are now serving on i'm
portant government bodies.

In addition, Pres. Emil Rieve,
Textile Workers Union, and Gin
ton S. Golden, United Steelwork-
ers, serve as alternate members,
while John Brophy, director of
Industrial Union Councils, and
belmont Garst and Carl Shipley,
both from the JAW, serve as
substitute members.
In the WLB field organization
the CIO has q representatives who
serve as Regional Board members,

panel members.

Job In Capital

CLIO has had it's most active
year in doing its war job with
Congress, President Murray noted
in his report to the convention.
Murray said that CLIO learned
early in the war that it's job of
winning victory was not confined
to production schedules alone, but
also hat it covered all issues COM
ing up in Congress.
These issues are directly tied in
with war production, since Con-
gress controls the amount of food
war workers eat, the housing they
live in and almost every condi-
ton under which they do their
jobs for the war.
The war job with Congress be-
came especially critical when the
new Congress came in January /,
and the majority almost imme-
diately started a drive against
"the needs of the war emergency
and in general "fomented confu-
sion, recrimination and disunity."
CLOS reaction to this new crisis
was quick, both in the work of
the legislative department under
Nathan Cowan and in the setting
up of Legislative committees in
affiliates all over the country,
Murray added.
The work of the CLIO Recess Ac-
ton Committee last summer, I'm
der direction of George Adde's,
David J Mcdonald, James B.
Carey and Julius Emspak, helped
greatly in speeding up the tempo
of work in the field, though a
great deal remains to be done in
activating the entire membership.
Worst example of Congressional
campaigning against labor and
against war production, Murray
pointed out, was passage of the
Smith ConnaHy bill and the almost
constant attacks on u. S. war
agencies, on price control, on use
of subsidies for food production,
and on the rollback, etc.
, 1943-11-11
Labor and WLB

Labor's unqualified pledge not
to strike for the duration of the
war made the War Labor Board
zone of the most important agen-
cies affecting the welfare of labor"
stated President Murray.
Although critical of certain
weaknesses in the procedure and
policies of the board, the report
says lit must be recognized that
on some basic issues such as the
wage policy, the difficulties do
not stem from the board but rather
from executive orders and direc-
tiyes issued by superior author
ity."
The report calls for adjustment
of the national wage policy by a
price roIlback to the level of Sept.
Is, 1912; wage adjustments on the
basis of equal pay for like work,
and elimination of wage rate in
equalities.
saThe CIO has stated that it will
oppose any attempt by any gov
eminent agency to impose a ma
tional wage incentive system" the
, 1943-11-11
War Relief

Labor is the largest single source
Of funds for war relief and COM
munity service, President Philip
Murray said in his convention
report on the National CLIO War
Relief Committee. CIO alone, he
declared, has raised more than
$22,0O0,OO0.
The committees work with both
foreign and domestic organizations
was cited, and its aid to the Red
Cross and the National War Fund
was noted.
Go members are cooperating
on the advisory stats of many
social agencies which heretofore
never had labor representation,
the report stated, and in a num-
Der of cities full-time CIO staff
members have been added to some
such organizations.
"An important by-product of
our war relief work has been the
excellent relationship which has
been built up between Go and
the relief agencies which have
, 1943-11-11
Manpower

The manpower crisis-now at
least a year and a half old-has
reached a new height of urgency
and danger" to wal production,
President Murray wrote in his re-
port to the CLIO convention.
This crisis is used as a mask for
national service legislation less
politely known as forced labor
via the Austin Wadsworth bill and
other labor draft proposals, Muir
ray explained.
He said that real factors behind
manpower shortages are such con-
ditions as faulty ALLEGATION of con-
tracts, lack of child care facilities
to let women work, lack of hous-
ing and feeding arrangements,
discrimination against Negroes,
labor boarding, and the like.
"The most efficient national
utilization of the services of the
men and women of the country is
not merely a question of drafting
those workers." he wrote. 1T is a
question of adapting manpower to
virtually all the elements of our
production machinery and pro-
gram"
VINO regulations still lack the
"hardheaded, widespread thor
o~ugh-going" approach which will
cure the conditions rather than
Furnishing the people who suffer
from them.
And the Austin Wadsworth bill
still remains a menace not only to
labor's rights, but even more i'm
portantly, to war production-be-
cause it will only freeze workers
under present conditions.

OF the ClO by acclanatlon: and j;
clamation.
Nationally known speakers at
the convention were, Henry A.
Wallace, vice-president of the
United States, who stressed the
necessity of full time employment
during the postwar period. He
also stated that labor, agriculture
and the white collar workers must
stand together if we are to achieve
a better standard of living.
Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of the
President of the United States,
talked on the principle of greater
education of the workers to the
realities of the present day world.
The first lady congratulated the
Go on their upholding of the
"no-strike pledge"
The following points were the
highlights of the convention from
the report given by CLIO Presi-
dent Murray:
, 1943-11-11

report declares. "This problem
must be solved through collective
bargaining in specific cases be-
tween the union and employer
affected"
The board is praised for its
policy of trying to prevent dis
elimination against Negroes and
women workers, for its established
policy of granting union security,
and for other significant gains
for organized labor"
, 1943-11-11
CLIO On Taxes

CLIO members know what taxes
mean to them this year, President
Murray wrote in the legislative
section of his report to the con-
vention meeting.
This education was acquired at
first hand, Murray said, in the
1912 tax bills direct impact on
the pay-checks of Americas
working men and women
The impact, he pointed out, went
right down to workers making
as little as $12 a week, and took
a five per cent bite out of the
paycheck in the mis-named "Vic-
tory Tax"
Number l job of CLIO legislative
work now is to push for a decent
tax bill for 1913, Murray wrote.
CLIO must convince Congress that
taxes are not "a statistically alb
stract subject of debate" or some
thing of interest only to big fl
nancial interest but r bread
and butter considerations affect
ing all the people.
