Green Says Prices
Must Be Lowered
Tells Senate Group That
Yearly Subsidy Is Nee
essdrY At Once

Washington, ID. G.. ULNS). - Will
liam Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, told a Senate
Committee that $2,OOO,0OO,O00 year
ly subsidy is necessary to roll back
living costs to levels of 13 months ago.
The only alternative, the AFL chief
said is to increase the Is per cent
Little Steel formula controlling wage
increases per cent for per cent of
our failure to cut the cost of living
down to the May, 1912, level.
"The workers of the Nation feel
that their Government has gone back
on it's promise to extend them equality
of treatment in the cost of living
control" Mr.. Green said.
Unless immediate and express ac-
ton Is taken to carry out the policy
pledged and promised to the wage
earners of the Nation, a widespread
protest and spontaneous revolt on the
part of the workers against the rising
cost Of living is inevitable"
"Since May of 1912, the cost of liv-
ing, as measured by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics has risen over Z per
cent. During this period, the prices
of foods have risen over 16 per cent.
The inevitable effects of this was a
propOrtiOnate curtailment in buying
power of wages of all workers, even
when measured by the cost of living
index
This statement by Mr. Green was
challenged Immediately by Senator
Taft, Republican, of Ohio. Mr.. Taft
said:
The average weekly wage increase
since last June 80 to March Is was

adding:

were frozen as of May, 1942."

Local Union 81 To
Hold PdrtY In July
Foes Of Labor Prosper
When Members Foil To
Attend Meetings

The party which Local Union 81 in
tended to hold in June has been post
poned until July. This change was
necessary owing to our inability to oh,
tain the basement in the Brotherhood
hall on Thursday evening. However
with the weather aS it is, l am sure
it was all in our favor and we hope by
the time our next meeting rolls around
in July, cooler weather will prevail
Judging by the action taken by the
enemies of labor in securing the pass
age of the Smith-C Connally bill by both
houses, we had better be on guard if
the working man is To maintain any of
the privileges he has fought for years
to attain. While we will go on record
as denOuncjng the unpatriOtic move OF
our representatives in Washington, we
also wish to go on record and ask each
and every member Of Local q what
he has done to oppose the passage OF
such bill. Have YOU attended the
meetings and acquainted yourself with
this bill? Do you know what actually
will happen if the President does not
veto it? Think this over Brothers and
when you stand around on the street
corners and blast the enemies of labor
ask yourself if you have not been
guilty in your support of Labor.
Come out to your meetings and sup
port your officers in maintaining your
working standards, lend your shoulder
to the wheel and | am sure way can
be found to repay those who speak fol
us in Washington.
Don't forget our next meeting will
be held on July 1St, with a banquet
and entertainment program after a
short business sessi0m--O.C. l21.

RdilwdY Official
Censures The OPA
No Serious Attempt Made
To. Halt Rising Living
Costs. Whitney Says

There has been no serious attempt
by the Office of Price Administration
to control rising living costs or to curb
imitation since the spring of 1942, a.
+. Whitney, president of the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen, asserted
when he appeared as Il witness before
the Emergency Board of the National
ings on the 80 per cent wage demand
of railroad workers.
The brotherhood chief-On the stand
for the second day-alsO struck ut the
railroad industry, which he charged
is now in the process of forming 'the
most powerful monopoly the American
people have had to contend with" This
projected monopoly, the witness said,
is part of a transportation program be-
ing sponsored by the Association of
American Railroads under the pre-
text of promoting the American war
effort"
Mr.. Whtney's organization, largest
of the five railroad brotherhoods, has
Il membership of $4,000. He told the
board headed by Justice Walter =.
Stacy of the North Carolina Supreme
Court that in his opinion the OPA
technique has been to depreciate tn"
workers dollar, penny by penny,
rather than to stabilize it's value. He
charged that Leon Henderson, while
OPA administrator, had also keyed his
policies to the continuance of profit for
production rather than to consumer
price control.
"'The question is" Mr.. Whitney said.
HAS the OPA made any real attempt
to do job of price control? Evidence
answers that it has not From the day
the decision on general maximum price
regulation was made in the Spring of
1942 the OPA has evidenced no in
tentiOn of controlling prices or stop
ping imitation"
