For Speedy Victory

Everybody wants the as quickly as
possible and every patriot wants the war to end
In the total defeat and unconditional surrender Of
the Axis
The CLIO Is dedicated to this single end
above everything else. Every program 1t puts
forth and every action 1t undertakes IL aimed
toward the final offensive and the early return
Of our men from the fighting fronts.
CLOS tremendous production drive In all the
basic war industries of the nation is aimed at this
target
CLOS political action campaign to make Con-
gress true victory arm of the nation Is aimed at
this target.
CLOS drive for repeal of the polltax, for repeal
of the Smith-Connally BILL for fair and adequate
tax program, for price control and the rolback for
real social security, for united nation behind the
Commander in Chief are all essential parts of the
nations desire for the speediest possible total VIC
tory in this total war.
The men and women Of the CLIO have no
illusions that the struggle Is almost over. They
not guilty of over-confdence, any more than
our military leaders and responsible politi-
cal leaders think that the job Is simply one OF
cOastng from here
That is why the CLIO, Its leaders and its millions
Of members-their families and the people they live
among and infiuence-are putting everything In
their power into carrying and increasing the
fight for the survival Of nation and Its liberties
And to just the extent that this mighty power IL
poured into the tasks of war, 30 shall we shorten
the war and hasten our victory.
The CIO news. (Cumberland, Md.) 1942-????, 1943-08-23

want to stress three points about all this
activity
In the first place, 1t is in no sense an exclusively
labor campaign. Rather it is attempt to unite
all labor with farmer consumer, business and all
other groups for purposes to which all patriotic
Americans should subscribe
Secondly, third party intentions in
vOlved. On the contrary, the CLIO opposes a
third party at this time tending to divide
the labor and wn-the-war forces.
And finally, the main and immediate purpose Of
all this activity Is to aid the Of speedy and
total victory, by moblizing united national support
behind the win-the-war policies both domestic and
foreign, Of our Commander-in-Chief President
Roosevelt.
We urge all our listeners, whether labor or non
labor, to join with in encouraging and supporting
those members Of Congress who have really fought
to strengthen the home 'front.' to let those with bad
records know they will forfeit popular support
unless they do better in the next session; and gen.
orally to join with labor in every kind of legislative
and political activity that will help to give US q
real victory Congress.

sufficient amount of food and other necessities for
health and full efficiency on the war job.
Needed revenue must be secured by increasing
taxes on profits, by taxing big income down to
$4,000, by increasing rates the levels starting
at $4,000 and increasing sharply above $1,000.
This is the way to make taxes work for victory
as every part of our national economy must work.
The program of the CIO proposes these steps as
the to the drive for the sales tax and as the
means of clearing away the smoke screen of lies
about excess income coming to workers.
President Murray has issued a strong warn
ing to all CLIO members to get active on the tax
issue at once. The warning must be taken up
and acted Failure to do so means new
burdens. means new blocks placed in the way of
about mobilization for about war and victory.

LOOKING AHEAD
By Len De Caux

In the absence Of Len De Caux, the CIO
NEWS this weeks reprints a speech broad
cast BY Legislative Director Nathan COVan
on a recent Go Labor for Victory radio
program, dealing mifh the record Of Con-
gress. COrdn'S talk fOliOWS:
Labor has been shocked into greatly increased
legislative and political activity by the record of
the last session of Congress.
Despite the efforts of a splendid minority of
progressive and win-the-war Congressman all too
much time was devoted to administration-baiting.
labor-bating and potics-as-usual, and many ac-
tions were taken up which can only weaken our
home front, divide our national unity and retard
our war effort.
For instance, Congress actually pushed up
the high cost Of living and hampered price con-
troll by cutting OPA funds; by fOrbdding grade
labelling; by voting to turn over OPA admins
tratiOn to interested businessmen; and by fight
ing the Presidents program for rolling back
living costs through food price subsidies.
Then Congress prepared the way for making
folks with low incomes pay more than their fair
share of increased taxation by forgiving millions
to wealthy taxpayers through the 1876 Ruml plan;
by turning down the Presidents idea of limiting
individual incomes to SGT 000 $4,000 after taxes.
And drive for sales tax is under way to
make up for the failure of Congress to tax war
profits and surplus wealth sufficiently.
Then again instead of promoting national unity
behind Commander lin Chief, Congress set up
committee after another to snipe at, play poll
tics with and hamper various administrative
agencies.
You have heard on this program something about
the campaign to influence members of Congress
during the present 1t is being pushed by a
Special Clio Committee on Congressional Action,
headed by George Adde's of the United Automobile
Workers.
Then the CLIO has also set up Committee
Political Action. headed by Sidney Hillman Of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers. to plan united labor
political action for the coming elections and to pre-
pare the groundwork for a united labor political
league.

BY the Associated Press.
A War Labor Board committee to
investigate the cost of living and
report in so days was appointed by
President Roosevelt today with WLB
Chairman William H. Davis as it's
head and representative of the
public.
George Meany, AFL secretary
treasurer, and R. j. Thomas, presi-
dent of the CIO United Automobile
Workers, were named to represent
labor and H. B. Horton, treasurer of
the Chicago Bridge g. Iron Co.. and
George K. Bait, vice president of
Dugan Bros, as other representatives
of the public.
Many persons, the President said,
think of the cost of living only in
terms of food. He added that such
costs vary in regions, and that the
overall cost includes rent, clothing
and recreation. He expressed the
hope that this committee will make
quick survey to clarity for the
public what the cost Of living means.
The appointment of the commit
tee follows a promise the President
made recently to labor leaders

who insisted that Labor Depart
