cause of the growing load on their

JANUARY BRINGS VICTORY TAX"

THIS MONTH and the rest Of 1913 every Ameri-
can worker will find a Victory Tax deducting
So from his pay envelope contents.
In answer to questions on pay received by
workers this month for work performed in De-
cember of 1912 Treasury ruled the 5% tax should
be withheld in all cases, pointing out that the law
states:
"Iherc shall be levied, collected and paid for
each taxable year beginning after December 81
1912, victory tax of so upon the victory tax
net income Of every individual"
Wages received in 1913, added Treasury, will
be considered 1913 income regardless of the
period in which they were earned

UNION PRINCIPLES AND UNION PRACTICE

iHNHE UNION is a wonderful sot-machine, y
thought the new worker as he cashed his in
creased paycheck. ."You hit the jackpot every
time You put your dollar in every month, and
come out wage raises, better conditions paid vaca
|tions and job security. Even if you do something
you ought to be fired for it's up to the union to
|fx it up.
Of course no real union man or woman thinks
Hike that But doesn't each one of us know some
union members who do think like that, or act as if
they did? They're always on the "get" end OF the
union, and never give anything to it. They build
nothing and pull down what others are building.
And they don't see that the union is battling not
only for their pocketbook but for new social and
economic structure for the nation.
We have our union today because years ago
workers with less hours to spare and less money
Ito spend than we rsked all they had to build it.
To-day thousands of union members are reaping
lin every pay envelope the fruit of those earlier
battles and sacrifices. But union stays strong,
democratic and successful only long as we, it's
members, put into it not only dues but time
|energy and ideas, attend meetings, educational
conferences, vote in elections, and take respon-
|sibility
Recently five-point program of action for
|every unionist and his family was presented by
the "You Can Defend America" group, which has
|aready shown it's Victory Revue in twenty states
Here it is
Live out the principles of sound trade
Fight for the right wherever you are
Start with yourself in the home and the shop
lSee what you can contribute.
2-Build teamwork in the union and the plant
Remember friction among men is wortse slower
ldowner than friction in machines.
3-One cool head can avert a crisis. When
Itempers get hot, concentrate on what's right, not
lon who's right.
4-Inspire such spirit in labor that it will
have the moral authority to call upon all interests
ito unite and win Sefshness is the arch-saboteur
|of natural strength.
Build and back leadership that will fight
for those moral standards of honesty and un-
|selfshness which are one sure foundation for a
new world
If our union is to maintain it's grains and ad-
vance still further; if it is to make it's full contr
Ibution to winning the war and building a new
world afterwards, it needs more union men and
women who will live out these principles of union
ism all day every day.

PAY NOW

TWENTY SEVEN million Americans will soon
be paying income taxes that as time goes on
will become even heavier. TO all but d mere frac-
ton of this number personal income taxes will be
ia new experience In fact according to recent sur
veys, good proportion of these people do not yet
realize they have been included in the taxable
brackets. They are making no preparations to pay
taxes. They are spending their money at fast as
they earn it. The threat to government authority
and solvency by mass of potential tax den,
quents, is serious
practical solution is the prompt adoption
of pay-as-you-go arrangement such as the Rum
plan. Mr.. Ruml, formed dean of social sciences at
the University of Chicago, and Chairman of the
Board Of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
observes that: Nothing can be gained by argu
ing that people ought to have saved the tax or
last years income out of last years income. The
fact is that they did not do it and now they
cannot do it,
Every taxpayer must realize that we cannot
survive war, and return to system of individual
freedom unless the government remains solvent
If it is to do that, the people will have to pay
taxes and buy bonds on a devastating scale. Ta>
laws must be mercilessly far-reachng and eff
|cient

BANKING'S PUBLIC RELATIONS
IF INTELLIGENT bank directors ever

IF INTELLIGENT bank directors wonder
= why voters support with unvarying enthusiasm
any action of Congress regulating bank opera
tions, they might ponder the persistent alienation
by bank and bank publications of the most power
full segment of voters in the United States.
Bankers trained in the traditional vacuum of
bank clerks cage usually try to close their ears
to any reference to labor, especially to organized
labor Their publications dare not discuss prob
lens effectively. Any reference to labor is usually
accompanied by sneer that does more to antag-
onize sincere believers in trade unionism than
would an honest attack on unions. Typical of this
banker concept that Labor" even when shorn of
ANY faint of unonism, is evil, malignant, and ac-
cursed such, is the opening sentence in arti-
Gle on labor in the last issue of The Guaranty
Survey:
"Athough labor problems have continued to
present considerable difficulty, their effect pro-
duction has been very much less harmful than it
was before our entry into the war"
Now substitute for the word labor in that
sentence any other word, including banker,
management" financial Supervisory" "edl-
catonal," and ask yourself whether the majority
Iof voters in the United States, including 1--WE
|hope) some Of the sons of toll whose many years
|of labor have earned them place on the board
of directors of the Guaranty Trust Company of
New York wouldn't like to swing an axe on the
neck of this guilty spawn of bankers mental
vacuum and prostituted intelligence.

THE COST OF INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS

INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS are robbing us of
vital manpower. In 1871, nineteen thousand
workers killed or crippled for life. One Hun
dred Thousand others lost either arm, leg,
hand foot eye
Since Pearl Harbor, more. workers in the
United States have been killed by industrial acci-
dents than The Navy, Coast Guard and United
States MarineS-ail combined-have lost in battle
Industrial accidents are largely preventable
They are due mostly to carelessneSS and negli-
gence Those who fall in battle die for cause
Those struck down by industrial accidents die in
vain.
Besides this loss of manpower-suficient to
build hundreds Of warShips every year--indus-
trial accidents interrupt the orderly flow of pro-
ducton, and often result in serious damage tC
machinery, equipment and work in process. They
delay delivery of war materials.
A nation at war cannot afford this waste OF
manpower, machinery and materials.
Industrial accidents have caused more loss OF
man-hourS than all the strikes, material short
ages and transportation difficulties put together
It's Number One Personnel Problem
Effective ways and means of reducing the
number Of industrial accidents are known to all
American labor and management must utilize
these ways and means and drastically reduce
industrial accidents if we are to achieve efficiency
in war production.

THE BIGGEST political job confronting organ
zed labor from the point of view of dollars and
cents is to defend the forty hour week law. De-
spite the gains made by Republicans in Congress
this is a genuine political possibility, since some
leading Republicans afraid of political roper
cussonS if they take the lead in repeating the
law. For it is easy to explain that the forty hour
week law does not prevent longer weekly hours;
and its repeal would merely result in decreasing
the wages of the unorganized and mostly un-
skilled workers who are not protected by union
contracts, and increasing profits correspondngly,
except for the governments take in profit taxes.
1t would also cause series reduction in labor
morale and an increase in strikes, as the workers
who are now used to overtime pay in war indus
tries endeavor to gain back their weekly wages by
hourly wage rates. There would also be some
slowing up in the expansion of war industries.
For the higher weekly pay made possible by over
time rates acts magnet to draw workers to
the localities where war industries are expanding
and where rent is high and municipal services are
frequently poor for newly arrived workers, so
that such workers would not put up with them eX-
cept for the substantially higher pay.
Another similar job is to defend the Wagner
Labor Relations Act, the National Labor Rela-
tions Board, the War Labor Board and the main
tenance Of membership clause which has become
its standard practice. Unless the two factions of
organized labor get together politically Congress
may force change in the personnel of the Ma
tional Labor relations Board and the War Labor
Board

COMMENT ON WORLD

report from it's Berlin correspondent
on what happens nowadays in meet
! ing of Polish workers.
"a few days ago in big POZnan
factory Gauleiter Greiser addressed
the Polish workers of both sexes, y
and "for the first time Greiser showed
loyal and willing Poles in Wartheland
how they could become masters of
their own happiness through work and
the adoption of positive attitude, y
the correspondent said.
"If they accept German leadership
all will be we'll with them.
The Gauleiter announced Polish
workers organization will be created
"tO observe the work of willing Poles. "
People will enter it when they are
summoned and later, if they are
good, the Germans will give them 'spe-

forget it's boasts which overloaded
Axis wave lengths year ago. Lest
they forget, here are some tid-bits,
which they based on fiction, not fact.
Ribbentrop, in an interview with a
Spanish newspaperman: "In 1912 the
Bolshevik problem will be definitely
disposed of by the German armed
forces under the personal command
! of the Fuehrer."
Radio Rome, after the British occu-
patton of Benghazi "The relative calm
in the Mediterranean shows what little
practical cooperation in reality exists
between Britain and the U.S.A."
Radio Rome: "Since Japan's entry
into the war, the U.S.A. must forget
all about Dakar and Africa and con-
centrate on the Pacific
German home stations, Radio Rome
Radio Friesland: "Where is the Amer
lean fleet?'
Soldiers in the German occupation
forces of Northern Europe, who re.
Gently returned from furlough in
Vienna, are of the opinion that the
underground labor movemen in
former Austria has been weakened in
the last two years, mainly due to the
fact that practically all the former
opposition elements have been called to
the cOlOrS.
Nevertheless, few strOngholds of
labor resistance in industrial plants re-
main and are active in so far as the
circumstances permit. Many instances
of sabotage are reported and even
open resistance of workers against
compulsory payment of contributions
to the NaZi winter help organization.
The same sources report that about
Onefourth of the Viennese population
regularly listen to Allied broadcasts
from overseas or hear of their con.
tents through friendly and under
ground grapevine. The number of Ger
man dead at the Russian front is eSti
mated at more than 100000. About
half of the people are convinced OF
ultimate German defeat, but there is
considerable and almost hystericaI
fear AS TO what will happen afterward
