The stormy petrol" of the labor

much in the limelight ut present. Some
people think he is the greatest labor
leader in the field today, others class
him as IL publicity seeker, who thinks
he can defy and dictate TO the United
States government. 'lir no matter
what the individual opinion may be,
and no matter how much you and /
may eXecrate, the miserable failure
of the L. $. agencies to hold down
prices of the necessities of life, the
naughty arrogance of the War Labor
Board and the stupid handling of the
miners i'm this unfortunate dispute,
the fact remains that 12,OOO,O0O tons
of precious coal has been lost. Coal
that was badly needed to further the
war effort.
The result is the passage of the
Gonna ly-Smith bill by the House and
Senate to curb union labor and forbid
strikes in any government-Seized in

the press and over radio networks was
inspired by the defiance of John l..
Lewis to abide by conditions us laid
down by the administration. 1t is un-
fortunate because of the demoraliZing

towards supporting Il government one

Washington, D. c. (ILNS).-Twen-
ty-one leaders of various groups
joined in a telegram of thanks to
President Roosevelt for his clarifica-
tion of the language of Executive Or
der 9346, making non-discrimination
in employment policies mandatory in
government contracts. Roosevelt thus
overruled Comptroller General Lind
say Warren, who had given the opin-
ion that industries were not forced to
comply with the clause. The text of
the wire:
MAY we herewith express our deep
gratitude to you for your action in
making clear that discrimination
in government and war industries en-
ployment is mandatory under Fair
Employment Practice Committee"
Signers included A Philip Ran

FRIDAY. NOVEMBER &c, 1943
GOVERNMENT CONTRACT
NOT KEPT

Some Congressman seem to really
believe that an increase in wages for
working people will mean imitation,
and they are perhaps right if there
were to be general increase in wage
levels of any considerable amount.
These same Congressman, however,
are little concerned about increases in
the cost of living for these same work
ing people. Even increases in their
own living expenses don't seem to
worry them. Perhaps it's because their
salaries are so large they don't notice
it, but working folks, who must pay
out everything they earn to buy
enough food, clothing and shelter to
live decently do notice it, and their
only relief is to get more wages.
American Federation of Labor off
Gals agreed to abandon the right to
strike during the present emergency,
and government officials agreed to
prevent any increase in prices of COM
modities we must buy every day. La
Dor, generally, has made good on it's
commitment, but everyone knows that
prices have been running wild, espe-
cially on foods-essential foods which
we all must buy.
A contract is an agreement by two
parties each to do certain things. If
one party fails to live up to that con-
tract the other party automatically is
released. Labor is still doing a 994
percent no-strike job, but the govern
ment has not effectively controlled
prices.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1943-11-26

the Presidents program in toto. In
stead, it adopted the Economic Stabi-
lization Act of 1912. This law held
that wages and prices were in equit-
able relationship as of Sept. Is, 1912,
and should be stabilized at that level.
That law has been enforced with
respect to wages, except in one or two
individual instances. 1t has not been
enforced to any appreciable extent
with respect to prices that enter into
the cost of living How much longer
does labor have to wait before this
law is fully enforced?
Is it any wonder that the nation s
wage earners are mystified by all this
talk of "stabilization" Is it at all
surprising that they are demanding
relief from an intolerable situation :?
