A BELATED RECOGNITION OF LABOR'S
SOTJND JUDGMENT

THE OFFICE Of Price Administration is re-
ported to have prepared survey showing that
he steel industry can absorb an cent an hour
wage increase without increasing the current
)rice Of steel. 1t shows this increase will be
needed by the steel workers when their overtime
S reduced and they go back to the normal 40 hour
week.
Following upon the recent announcement by
the War Labor Board that the President would
be asked to alter his wage freezing order to permit
higher wage rates, because of conclusive proof
that living costs are far above the Is per cent
wage level of January 1941, which is the base of
The Little Steel wage freezing formula, we can
shortly expect the long overdue thaw in the
present frozen wage level
These belated admissions by the government
agencies, bear out allegations which organized
labor has been making for many months Over a.
year ago the Steel Workers Union published fact
giving booklet which gave conclusive proof that
the steel industry could afford to pay substantial
wage increases out Of its large profits without
quiring price increases.
In independent surveys, both the AF'L and the
CIO showed that the cost of living had risenI
twice as high as the Department of Labor index,
and even the latter showed that in 1914 livingI
costs were "a per cent-not Is per cent-abovel
The 1911 level
These are but several of many instances which,
revealed that organized labor has been realisticl
and accurate in its judgments than has either theI
government or business and industrial oEganiza-|
lions.
Nevertheless, in spite of the impressive record
which organized labor has made in the war pro-
juction effort, it is being given minor role nI

TOO CLOSE TO HOMEl

WALTER EDGE, elderly and reactonary gov
~ eTnor Of New Jersey is one of the staunchest
advocates Of the newly revived dogma of states
rights. With Governor Dewey and other Repub-
cans as well as conservative Democrats, the Gov
elnor believes that the people of the nation can
best enjoy The blessings of expanded social Sc
cmity, public employment and medical care by
these activities, taking them out Of
the supervision of the federal government and
putting them into the hands of the several states
and private industry.
Yet, when the recent hurricane struck the
Atlantic Coast and wrecked among many other
things, the famous board walk at Atlantic City,
a strdent demand was made that the federal gov
ernment supply funds and priorities to replace
this peacock alley" by the seashore which four
generations OF American tourists and vacationists
had walked or were pushed around over in wheel
chairs
Did we hear any loud protests or even whispers
from Governor Edge that this is a function Of the
state and local governments and that the federal
government should refrain from Quitting in' !?
Not ut this moment of writing.
We don't favor public works Just because they
are public, but because they provide jobs that
private enterprise can't or won't provide and be-
cause they are socially and economically useful
and constructive. Since the Board Walk is an in
centive that draws the tourist trade annually
thus making work for thousands of people, we areI
IN favor of replacing it pronto. But we think thatl
the check should be assumed by the hotel keepersI
and pro-rated and amoltised among their guestsI
over the anticipated life Of the walk In mattersI

AFL SP0kESMEN SUPPORT
NATIONAL HEALTH PLAN

Washington, -. c. ULNS). - In q
statement To the Senate's subcommittee
on wartime health and education
Lewis G.. Hines, representing the
American Federation of Labor, gave
strong endorsement to the national
health plan recently proposed by DIR.
Thomas Parran, surgeon general of the
t. $. Health Service.
Under DR. Parran's plan, doctors,
research workers and hospitals would
cooperate with state and local govern
ments to assure adequate medical care
for all.
Medical witnesses before the COM
mittee were opposed To any plan so
extensive as to place great numbers of
members of the medical profession on
Il salaried basis. One witness asserted
that failure of the individual to seek
medical aid is the greatest single
reason for lack of correction of rem
ediable causes.
To this assertion, Hines declared
that failure to receive II proportionate
share of medical service cannot be
aScribed to individual indifference to
health needs but TO lack of economic
resources.

A KICK IN THE PANTS

rT'HE FATE of the Kilgore reconversion bill in
Congress is something for voting workers to
think about when they 90 to the polls next month.
This BILL had it been enacted by our national egis-
lators, would have provided an orderly shift from
wartime to peacetime production, with minimum
Of suffering on the part Of workers without em-
ployment during the process.
However, even before it got before The Senate
the so-called George bill was substituted for it.
and at the present time even this bill has been
emascuated to an extent which Just about en-
trey relieves it Of any effectiveness whatever.
Those Senators who supported the George bill
instead OF the Kilgore bin are thus placed in al
somewhat unenyi9ble light They claimed they
wanted to do something for the workers, but they
said the George bill was a better bill than the Kill
gore bill; il would do everything necessary in al
more orderly manner But the bill in its present.

Labor officials supported the klgore bin andI

see industry getting back to civilian production inI
the shortest possible time with minimum Of dis

for them; had too much influence on Capitol Hll;I

NON-PARTISAN POLITICS

SINCE early in its organization the American
- Federation Of Labor has consistently followed a
policy Of non-pmtisan political action with the
single exception Of a Presidential election in the
mid-Twentes when the Federation endorsed a
specific candidate for President. This policy has
proved itself sound and constructive for free
labor movement in this country, with its demo-
cratic institutions and ideals.
AS the first president of the American Fedora
tion of Labor put it. labor is partisan to principles,
not party: The standard by which the Fedora
tion determines the principles which 1t endorses
is the welfare of its members as workers and as
citizens of this country These principles we find
ways to apply through our unions IN collective
bargaining and by bringing union influences to
bear upon public opinion as well as upon law
makers
AS trade unonists we constitute an organized
opinion-making group through which we can sci
cure protective and remedial legislation. We cam
use our votes as citizens to help eliminate repre-
sentatves who oppose constructive measures. wei
can best promote the cause Of labor economically
as well as politically if we maintain an organiZa-
ton devoted singly to the welfare OF those whoI
work making cur basic economic agency serve an
our needs.
Those who operate a political as well as AMI
economic organization must take all the rel
sponsibilites of a political party. separate or
ganzation must be maintained, positions found
for party representatives, and all the functons,I
good and bad, of poiticaLparty duly performed
Even when this was done, such a labor paltyI
would have to defeat both parties Of our trad-l
tiona two-party system ally itself with one OIL
them In the latter case, it would lose It's IDENTIFY
as a labor party.
The future is too serious to take the chance of
experiment at this time even If we were not cOn-I
vinced our non-partisan method had proved itself
through achievements Of the past--both in elect
ing representatives and in securing legislation.

FOR HOME TOWNS THEY FIGHT

A PICTURE comes from overseas of some of our
doughty air-borne troops and their glider
from which they dropped to assault the "impreg-

On the side Of the glider they painted: Look,

spelled individual addressed being of course, Der
Fuehrer's Field Marshal Fatso (Helmann) Goer-
ing, of The once dread LuftwalTe.
Beneath that liehthearted but confident jape
the u. S. troopers also painted the names Of their
home towns: Detroit, Cleveland, Wash, ID. c."

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

As Allied armies on the continent OF
Europe have been forging toward
Berlin in bloody fighting, workers in
southern England have been on the
front lines again, carrying on in the
| face of robot bomb attacks as they did
| during the many months of the Nazi
air bitz over Britain in 1940-41.
| For period of 60 days, the robots
were destroying or damaging an aver
age of 700 houses every hour of every
day. In June and July, casualties from
the robot bombs totaled 1892 persons,
of whom 1919 were killed Many more
have been killed since July and the
attacks are still going on, though on a
very diminished scale at this writing.
In facing the robot attacks, British
workers have shown, once again, that
nothing can defect them from their
determination to 90 on producing the
weapons and equipment that are need
ed in the fight, Labor and Industry
in Britain" published by the British
Information Services, comments.
A message to all factory workers,
reproduced in the publication men
toned in the foregoing, reflects the
spirit in which the robot attacks were
met. "Only one thing, says the mes
sage can make this worth Hitler'S
while-if we allow these bombs to
weaken morale or interrupt war pro-
duction 1t is up to industry TO see
that he fails"
The method adopted to save precious
working time was to rely on Il last
minute warning if a robot bomb was
directly overhead. When this warning
was given by the roof spotter, the
workers took shelter, but not until
then.
Not only have the men and women in
the factories and in the Offices and
London and southern Eng
land helped in this way to defeat
IIitler's desperate attempt to smash
British morale, but thousands of build
ing workers came to the robot area
from every part of the country to give
first aid repairs to buildings vital to
the war program. The builders, living
in camp conditions, formed a pool from
which groups were sent without delay |
to any point.
Labor and Industry in Britain" re- |
called that on Sept. Is, 1910, it was |
the young men of the II. A. f. in their |
Spitfires and Hurricanes who ended |
Hitler's dream of crushing England by |
down lS5 Nazi planes in the
Battle of Britain.
To-day, the tables are turned" the
publication points out. Britain and
ler allies are liberating Europe. The
few to whom so many owed so much
nave grown into mighty armies.
The earlier planes have been sue
,eeded, during those years, by adj
5anced models or by new British
,lanes ~ Mosquitoes, Typhoons, Tenn
,ests, Lancasters, Strings, Barra-
-udas The robots made life grim for
Britain; but they did not affect the
