Good Soldier

President Roosevelts decision to accept
the Democratic nomination for reelection is
the best of news.
1t proves again that he is truly good
soldier" who will stick 1t out on the job as
signed to him by the American people, regard
less of his personal inclinations.
The President Is much more than n
party candidate In these elections. The
unanimity with which his party dominates
him reflects the overwhelming demand of
the American people for continuance Of
his magnificent leadership until victory
IL won and firm foundation is laid for
postwar reconstruction.
The CLIO, of course, has been in the fore
front of this demand for another term for the
President
1t has endorsed him not only on the basis
of his splendid labor record and the achieve
ments of the New Deal in advancing the well
fare of the common people, but also for the
even more important reason that his expert
enced leadership is essential for speedy victory
and for winning the peace.
Inc TASKS anu opJeclVes WHICH nooSeVei'
himself outlines are those which comes first
not only with labor but with the whole Amer
lean people. They are as follows:
"To win this war Fundamentally, un-
equivocaly and as quickly as we can is our
task of the first Importance.
ITO win this war in such way that
there be no future world wars in the fore
seeable future Is our second objective.
''To provide occupations, and to provide
a decent standard of living for our men in
the armed forces after the war, and for all
Americans are the final detectives"
Roosevelt Is the man best qualified to lead
America forward to these goals.

Dewey Demagogy

The phrase in Tom Dewey's platform con-
demning the freezing Of wage rates is revealed
as the sheerest demagogy when one relates 1t
to the accompanying pledge to terminate ra-
tioning, price fixing and all other emergency
powers"
Certainly the CLIO is opposed to arbi-
trary wage freezing. But it Is equally op-
posed to relaxation of present price con-
trolls and the imitation that would follow
such action.
Ali the CIO asks in its present wage de-
mands is that the relationship between wages
and prices envisaged by the price control act,
to maintain stabilized economy, should be
restored by adjusting wages to present price
levels.
When Dewey proposes to let prices
rise uncontrolled, he completely negates
the value to labor of his vague condem-
nation Of wage freezing.
So don't let anyone kid you into believing
there Is any resemblance between Dewey's
stand on wage-freezing and that of the CIO.
There isn't any. m

Another essential step Is revision
of the Little Steel formula, so that
sufficient wages may be paid in
war industries to meet present liv-
ing costs.
This Is doubly essential ut the
present time, since the prospect
Of cutback layoffs and reduced
working hours has o demoralizing
effect on war workers who are
barely getting by with wages
that include much overtime.
Also essential to morale 10 the
assurance that purchasing power
will be increased, and not de-
creased, to make possible greater
civilian consumption, production
and employment as and when war
orders are discontinued.

Don't lead our country back into another

everything possible must be done
to supply necessary manpower to
meet all war needs.
Nor do they advocate any new
civilian production that will IN any
way interfere with war production.
But at the same time. labor
spokesman point out that many
cutbacks have taken place and
more may be expected; that low
wages are one cause Of manpower
shortages, and that another is the
fear of war workers of being out OF
luck when cutbacks occur II they
stick to war jobs.
Labor people point out further
that much of the opposition to any
resumption Of civilian production
comes from big business interests
who are afraid of competitors get
ting ahead in any partial resump.-
tion Of such production.

operation" Murray urged the employers
to provide the proper industrial states
manship to help this country avoid the
economic mire of poverty, restitution,
sickness and DEATH"
The CLIO leaders plea is challenge not
only to the steel industry but to all industry
and government.
The unions case for revision of the Little
Steel formula to bring wages into line with
present high living costs is an unassailable
one.
But even more far-reaching in its i'm
portance is the need for higher wages to ,
lay the basis for postwar prosperity and
to avoid another "apple-selling era" such
as followed the last war.
Industrial craftsmanship of the highest
order is needed right now to prevent the
vicious circle of reduced production, unem-
ployment and lowered wages catapulting the
whole country into depression as war orders
are discontinued.
If production is to be maintained and
unemployment prevented one of the first
essentials Is to adjust wages now, so that
increased purchasing power may cushion the
transition period and provide increased de-
mand for the production upon which our
postwar prosperity will depend.

THAT famous Washington Ian
guage known as "gobbledygook"
has prevented lot Of folks from
realizing how important are the
issues underlying the recent argu-
ments between War Dept. and
WPB officials over reconversion.
It's lives and jobs they're talking
about-the winning of the war and
the future livelihood of millions Of
Americans.
The CIO news. (Cumberland, Md.) 1942-????, 1944-07-17

Labor argues that the basic need
of the day-to meet the very situa-
ton of which the War Dept. COM
plains-is a carefully planned pro-
gram of gradual reconversion to
civilian production as and when
this Is possible without harm to
war production.
This requires passage Of the Kill
gore bill for centralized planning
and for adequate unemployment
benefits for workers thrown off the
lob by cutbacks and reconversion.
The assurance that such pro-
gram IL in effect, and that they
will not be victimized by sudden
cutbacIxs as I'm the Brewster case,
will set at rest the minds of mill
lions of war workers, will make
them stick to essential war jobs,
and will help to increase war
production.
At the same time, closer plan
ming and coordination of both war
production and reconversion will
remove most Of the real causes Of
such production lags as have oc-
Cured.

WPB officials and labor spokes-
men, for their part, may question

and some of the causes attributed
for production lags.
But they do not disagree at all
that adequate war production
must come first, that false optim-
Ism must be combatted. and that

The military men argue some
thing like this:
The good news from the battle
fronts is having bad effect on the
home front. War production is lag
cling while too much thought Is
given to what will happen after q
war that isn't half won yet.
Actually the more we 20 on
the offensive, and the better the
war news, the greater Is the need
for more and more war supplies.
The troops who are fighting the
Nazis and the Japs know what
tough customers they are-how far
they are from being licked as yet.
They resent over-optimistic talk
about an early end to the war.
There Is a greatly increased
need for heavy munitions and
other special weapons, since the
American command Is lavish in
It's use of artillery to save as
many of our soldiers lives as
possible.
Yet there has been a lag in re-
cent months in the production Of
many important war materials, be-
low estimated needs.
To make up for this lag, produce
ton will have to be raised to q
record peak by next November.
The next three months will be the
most difficult yet, from a war pro-
duction standpoint.

War Dept. officials attribute
much of the lag they report to lack
of manpower for making malleable
castings and forgings and other
basic materials.
They declare they have no objec-
ton to the resumption of civilian
production where this can be done
without harm to the war effort, but
that they are fearful Of too much
relaxing of present controls.
