administration OF this law"
Sen. Taft (R., o. one of the lead
ing advocates of lynching price con-
troll by the amendment method,
undertook to tangle with Murray
in his discussion of profits-but
quickly retreated when Murray
threw the book at him. the book
being u. s. Treasury figures and
findings.
According to these figures,
profits after taxes jumped 119
per cent in Al; 154 per cent In
AZ; It's per cent In 43 and 1873
per cent In "a. This, he added,
was after re-neg0tiation Of war
cOntracts-the process by which
the government tries to recapture
some of the more fragrant excess
rake-Off.
Taft then undertook to argue
against the facts of life in trying
to knock down the figures on the
share of the national income going
to profits and wages. Here again
Murray floored him with u. S.
figures showing that industry's
share had almost doubled in 43,
while labor's share had gone down
over five per cent.
Dipping into the guaranteed
profits feature of the current tax
law. Murray showed that corpora
tions could not possibly lose money,
no matter how much they operated
in the red, because the Treasury
would make up their losses.
Taft, In disputing this also,
stumbled around to half-hearted
and grudging agreement with
Murray, saying i'm the end: :.
since the postwar period Is the
result of the war period also, that
(the profib was not really an
earning and you would have
losses the following year, but 1
quite agree there may be a dis
elimination there"

ments that would give profteers
IAN open rate and a clear road,
Carey said:
"Ten food chains, including
several large ones, but not A&P,
have increased their profit take
rs times over pre-war. Seven
variety store chains, source OF
many household necessities for
low-incOme families, made 1943
profits three times their pre-war
figures.
Fifteen clothing chains made
In 1943 more than four times
the profits they made pre-war.
The combined profits of Is meat
packers In 1943 were almost 5.5
times their pre-war profits be-
fore taxes. Eight fruit and veg
etable Gamers, including sew
eral large ones, made AZ times
as much profit on their 1912
pack as they made pre-war."
Yet these same people are those
who argue most persuasively for
new loopholes in price control 10
bring their profits to even dizzier
heights, Carey said.
A big source of these super
profits comes from cheating the
consumers on quality, he pointed
out.
Low quality goods that should
sell at low price ceiling sell at
high ceilings. because manufac-
turers and distributors are able 10
pass off these goods on their Gus
TONER'S" Carey declared.
LET me point out that cheat
Ing on quality can add as much
as 26 per cent to the retail cost
of can of peas. Cheating on
both size and quality of eggs can
add as much as 80 cents to n
dozen of eggs. That's what eva
sion of OPA price ceilings can
mean to the housewife"
In reiterating the CLIO plea for
renewal of the act, Carey ended
his testimony by saying: Let me
say again, I have confidence that
OPA wants to do the job. I have
no confidence, however, that it
will be able to do 1t unless Con-
gress clearly and forcefully puts
itself on the side of the people and
against profiteering."

Egg Prices
Soar, Even
For Taft

Washington, April 22 - Talk
about price control really got
down to the price Of eggs when
CLIO President Murray was teSti-
flying this week on renewal of
the act before the Senate Bank
ing Committee.
Murray was telling the Sena-
tors that workers felt they had
the same right 10 protection
from rising living costs that in
dustrialists and farmers now
enjoy, and had pointed out that
farmers were guaranteed price
increases on the things they sell
as prices on the things they buy
went up. No one, he said,
had any objection TO farmers
getting protection-but workers
wanted some too.
But not eggs, said Sen. Taft
(R., o.. The price Of eggs has
been going down. so the farm
er hasn't got anything like the
maximum fixed for eggs over
the past month.
Said Murray: "That may be
true 80 far as IL applies to the
price Of eggs today. But, Sena-
tor Taft, i am quite sure you
win conceds that only a couple
Of months ago these eggs, re-
Gently down so low, were up
very high.
IL know that my wife, and
I am quite sure that your
wife, II you do not own any
chickens, and / do not, had to
nav around 90 cents a dozen
Cor eggs, and 60 cents q dozen
only six or eight weeks ago."

other civic groups. urged united
community action to rally the ma
ton for renewal of the price con-
troll act without erippling changes.
The CIO news. (Cumberland, Md.) 1942-????, 1944-04-24

Citing the Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics study showing that
farmers living costs have gone up
426 per cent, Murray pointed out
that farmers are compensated
under parity Ga formula for fixing
farm prices) for this increase,
which almost equals the 43.5 per
cent rise in workers living costs.
He was careful to point out
that no one disagrees with this
protection for the farmers, both

setting by the Agriculture Dept,

Murray said:

He was followed by CIO Sec.-
Treas. James B. Carey, UAW-CIO

]. Fitzgerald and Clio Auxiliary
Pres. Mrs. Faye Stephenson. Two
rank-and-file witnesses, Mrs. Rich
ard D. King. wife of an Ambridge,
Pa, Steelworkers Union members,
and Mrs. Annie Stein, Auxiliary
member, also testified.
Murray's testimony, which was
given extemporaneously and was
preceded by a brief written state
ment, dealt in detail with the effect
on living standards of the Little
Steel wage formula in situation
Of constantly rising prices.
BACKS FDR'S POLICY
In his opening statement, he
made it clear that the CLIO sup
ports price control renewal and
urges defeat Of all weakening
amendments that have been pro-
posed or may come up.
"CIO has consistently sup
ported and will continue to sup
port the Presidents national
economic sterilization policy"
he said. 1.-THE October 2, 1912 law
carried q mandate that wages and
prices were to be maintained as
Of their relationship which pre-
vailed on Sept Is, 1912.
This commitment has not been
carried out. The cost Of living has
risen 43.5 per cent since Jan. /,
1871. But wages have actually been
stabilized. The promise that an ex-
tensive rollback of prices would be
initiated to reestablish the rela-
tionship between wages and prices
has not been fulfilled"
STEEL FORMULA RIGID
For these reasons, Murray
pointed out. the Clio is asking for
a general wage increase to make
up the serious losses labor has
suffered in the spiralling cost Of
living. Describing the rigidity of
the Little Steel formula, Murray
told the Senator's:
"The application of the 10 per
cent rule as 1t affects steelwork-
ers definitely freezes those people
to the Is per cent rule of the
WLB. IL makes no difference to
the Board under existing cir
cumstances how far the cost Of
living goes up i'm the meantime.
"It Ia recognized by the BIS
that living costs have gone up
23.5 per cent. Well. one would nat
urally assume that even II labor
were prepared TO accept the
figures of the BIS and the law
of Oct. 2 was applied, then labor
would be entitled to an increase
of approximately 8.5 per cent
under the rigid application of this
law.
But the WLB has said. We do
not care whether living costs have
gone up 23.5 per cent, that makes
no difference 1t may be they've
gone up ABS per cent. We intend
to freeze wages and maintain them
at the levels established according
TO the Little Steel formula
