On Isolation
BY Ruth Taylor
The StOIzle Foundation, Inc.

Why should I write about iso-
lationism to labor? If poll or
this subject were taken of the
workers-the majority would
answer, I'm agin' it," Organ
lied labor learned in its infancy
that the world, not the ocean
was its horizon-that slave labor
anywhere meant low wages and
low standards of living here.
But there's more than one kind
of isolationism. Avoiding your
neighbor on the block or the
man at the next machine is
isolationism just as much as the
ostrich tactics of any of those
crackpots who thought what
happened to Europe or the East
could never touch us.
When we draw ourselves into
our own group, whether that
group be one of hyphenated ma
tionality, religion, lodge or un-
ion, we are practising isola-
tionism. We are separating our
selves from our fellow men.
Condemn Groups
When we condemn wholesale
other groups, when we genear-
aliZe about our neighbors, lump
Ing them with their fellows. we
are guilty of isolationism. We
say, and rightly, that it isn't fair
to judge the ideals of all work
ingmen by the actions of a few.
But it is the sort of thing that
we all do every day, and the
employee is too often just as
guilty of group generalization
as the employer.
We have seen the devastation
wrought by isolationism. We
have learned that the breeding
place of the plaques of tyranny
lies in the shadows the high
wall of isolationism t h r o w S
about nation. Cannot we learn
that what applies to a nation
applies to a group as well? That
a nation is but a large group
with all its faults as we'll as its
advantages.
What we must do in working
as group is to scrutinize our
own aims, to be sure that they
are fair-that in taking for our
selves we will not take from our
brothers. Then as a group and as
individuals, we must cooperate
Fundamentally with o. h e r
groups and individuals for our
common good. Above all in our
own lives we must not isolate
ourselves from our neighbors,
nor withdraw behind the mar
row boundaries of race, class,
creed or color. We are Ameri-
cans all.
Don't be an isolationist!

That's the way with big COM

DECREASING
The rate of absenteeism for

the other plants of the city. De-
spite the incompetent, inefficient
and mediocre supervision, pro-
duction has steadily increased.
Now if we could get the fore
men to take long vacation we
think we could up the stock

Maintenance Clause
Ordered by NLRB

WASHINGTON, October 30
(LPA)-Over the contentious OF
the Cudahy Bros. packing firm,
the Natl. War Labor Board last
week ordered them to comply
with a regional WLB order. The
company on Jan. 20, had been
ordered to include the usual
maintenance of membership and
checkoff clauses in a contract
covering the company's 14OO
employees. The company said
that the Wisconsin Employment
Peace Act prevented them from
accepting the maintenance OF
membership clause. The labor
and industry members of the
WLB, in the majority decision,
said that the board could still
direct such a clause to settle a
labor dispute.

far this year the actual
amount of the profit wind
fall' to the cotton textile mill
men is about S92 ,OOO,O 900 over
and above already high profit
levels the industry has been
earning during the war years.
This wartime scandal has
made no ripple in the daily
press of the country, or any
important contemporary pub
lication, despite the fact that
the supplies of cotton textile
fabrics for both military and
civilian use have fallen danger
ously low, and in the face of
the fact that the plantation own
ers or cotton growers - who
were supposed. to benefit by the
Bankhead Amendment-haven't
gotten any such gains.
Rieve Gives Figures
The figures on the inflated
profits, poured into the pockets
of the cotton textile mill own
ers, were given here by Emil
Rieve, President, and Solomon
Barkin, Research Director, of
the Textile Workers Union of
America-CIO, at the public hear
ing before the National War La
Dor Board on the demand of the
Union for a demonstrations
wage increase for about half
million cotton-rayon workers
now earning average take-home
wages of from less than $4,000 a
week to about $23-$24 a week.
Senator Bankhead of Alabama
evidently did not intend this big
windfall to flow into the pock-
cts of the manufacturers; he
claimed he only wanted higher
prices for the growers of raw
cotton. But due to the fact that
, the mills have been taking few
er bales, due in turn to labor
shortages, which are caused en-
tirely as a result of sub-stand-
ard wages and working condi-
tions, the price of raw cotton
continued to lag, even after
Congress required the price of
finished textiles to be raised to
