HEAD
REPLIES TO MURRAY

By JAMES d. GRAHAM
A few weeks ago a newspaper article
was sent out from Senator Murray's
office in Washington, which is assumed
was written by the senator's publicity
man. condemning James D. Graham,
president Of the Montana state Fedora
ton Of Labor, for his opposition to the
Wagner-Murray-Dinge bill and also
state. that Graham was in attendance
at the A. r. Of l.. convention in Boston,
which endorsed the said bill and that
Graham calls the bill a T%otalitarian
measure"
While the writer was a delegate, he
left the convention and Boston before
the resolution on the Wagner-Murray-
Dingell bill was considered, although he
went to the convention amply prepared
to oppose the bill.
Surprising that the charges of Senator
Murray or his publicity man is correct
that Graham has stated the Wagner
Murray-Dingell bill is a totalitarian
measure, is Senator Murray ready and
able to prove that the bill is not totali-
tarianP
There is nothing new about the Wag-
ner-Muuray-Ding bill. It was first
proposed in Germany in the year 1879
by Prince Bismark, the Iron Chancellor,
as a part Of his progress of state social
ism in opposition to the program of the
German Social Democrats. State social
ism is called by Hitler, National Social
ism and Mussolini calls it Fascism, That
part Of Bismark's program Of state
Socialism, National Insurance, was
adopted by nearly all the countries Of
western and central Europe before the
First World War.
The Italian Charter of Labor of the
year 1926, which was drafted by the
italian minister Of labor (who was a
member of Mussolini's cabinet) is SINH
lar to the Social Security Act passed by
Congress in December l936-and the
Wagner-M y-Dingen bill. Any per-
son reading the italian Charter of Labor
and the Social Security Act with its
amendments, proposed in Senate bill
1l61, will reach the conclusion that both
are very much in common, and will be
inclined to believe that whoever wrote
the Wagner Murray-D ingell bill is a
plagiarist.
Where is Social Security in Italy now?
Gone as it is in the rest Of continental
Europe, excepting Sweden.

! The CLIO Economic outlook, in its
April edition released May 10, studies the
aircraft industry and finds that three
fourths Of the net worth of all but one
of the seven largest corporations was
the result Of excessive earnings.
Profits in the seven companies in 1912,
after all taxes had been paid out, were
$1.79 for each 81 of stockholders adjust
ed investments, the publication found.
Companies studied were Boeing, Con-
%solidated, Curtiss- Wright, Douglas, Lock-
heed, Glenn Martin and United.
The outlook reports that profits, after
taxes, in these companies in 1912 we're 10
times the 1887 level, and that dividends
were 6M larger. At the same time the
three highest paid officers Of each Of
the 7 companies received salary payments
increases of SAB, 200. Average weekly
wages, however, rose by only %.
workers have thus been treated most
unfairly during the war as compared
with n and management. Their
wage rates have been frozen while the
income Of other groups has scared. AS
war orders decline, workers will be laid
off in large numbers and earnings will
drop sharply with shorter hours. En-
ployers may try to cut wage rates even
though they have already Jagged far
behind rising prices.
Executives are not so likely to be laid
off or suffer pay cuts, and their salaries
will not decline automatically as over
time ends"

LABOR SUPPORTING
HYGIENE PROGRAMS

Organized labor's support of com
munity social hygiene programs during
the past year heightens confidence Of
continued success in the nations fight
against the venereal diseases" This
statement accompanied the Annual Re-
port for I943 of the American Social
Hygiene Association issued by Dr.. Walter
Clarke, the Associations executive direc-
tor.
Recognizing the Importance of this
support, the association in 1943 added a
labor consultant to its staff to stimulate
greater trade union participation. Under
his guidance, the associations report
states, a joint ACKNOWLEDGEMENT in
dustrial health education campaign was
~inaugurated in Brooklyn, New York. The
program covers all phases of health edu-
cation, including the venereal diseases,
and may serve as a model for other in
dustrial communities.
The associations most recent project
a special series of articles for trade
unionists on the prevention, discovery
and treatment of syphilis and gonorrhea
has won the enthusiastic support of a
number of labor newspapers throughout
the country.
An all-time high was reached last year
in the nations fight against the venereal
diseases, but all community forces must
maintain and strengthen their attack,
since gonorrhea and syphilis remain the
country's most serious wartime health
problems, DR.. Clarke states in the asso-
cations annual report, entitled Unity
Against VD."
The American Social Hygiene Associa-
ton, 1890 Broadway, New York 10, N. Y,
is a participating service of the National
War Fund, and officially represents vol
untary health agencies carrying out the
governments venereal disease control
program. 1t is teamed up with the
Army, Navy, U. S. Public Health Service
anda the Social Protection Division of
