JUNEAU TR0LLERS
TO HOLD MEETING
WEDNESDAY, NIGHT

Trollers of Juneau and vicinity are
being called today into a general
meeting on Wednesday evening by
officers Of the United Trollers of
Alaska for the purpose of starting
discussions about their problems for
the approaching season.
The meeting will be held in the
Miners Union Hall starting at 1880
o'clock.
There are many problems facing
trollers," a spokesman from the
Juneau local of the trollers union
said in announcing the meeting.
And the union means to get to work
at them right away.
I'VE will be working together with
local of the United Trollers of
Alaska that was established last
week at Ketchikan and which has
already begun working. We sent
delegation down there and invited
them to join us ten days ago, and
with excellent and enthusiastic re-
suits.
There were so trollers in Ket-
chikan who responded right away to
our invitation to get organized and
get together with us for solution
TO our troubles. And we feel assured
that the movement is really going
to result in something
The trollers union spokesman said
that prices and other Federal regu-
lations hindering their earning abil-
tiles were among the most acute of
their difficulties because of injus-
tees and inequities. The unions
program in seeking solution to their
complaints includes taking their
problems up through its parent or
ganization, the International Fish
ermen and Allied Workers of AM
erica, a CLIO affiliate, which also
has other affiliates among fishermen
along the Pacific Coast which face
similar problems.

Then these cases were referred to special
panels, and the Job Of preparing and presenting
these cases again at panel hearings had to DO
gone through for weeks on end.
Finally in September, 1914, with labor's pa
tience almost at an end, we have the first Off
cal findings released In the form of panel re-
ports to the War Labor Board.
These panel reports substantially sup
port labOr's arguments for revision of the
Little Steel formula.
The public panel members agree that
living costs are much higher than the
BIS claimed, and far beyond the 1870 on
which the formula Is based. They agree
that upward wage adjustments need not
have inHationary effects.
But even this Is not the end. The full
Board has still to pass on the panel findings,
to conduct more public hearings and then to
make up its mind on facts and arguments
with which its members have been fully IA
mliar for months. Then finally it must pre-
sent its recommendations to Pres. Roosevelt.
There Is limit to all human patience, how
ever. That limit will be passed. 80 far as
labor is concerned, If Dewey-supporting indus
trialists make any headway with their present
plot to stall off a final determination of these
union cases until after the elections-in their
effort to make a political football of labor's
deep sense Of injustice over the wage freeze
and the long delays in remedying 1t.
The public members Of the WLB
should be public-spirited enough to resist
such plots, and to render their final de-
cision on the wage cases Of the Steel
workers and other unions without any fur
ther delays or stalIing.
Labor's case for defrosting the wage freeze
Is matter Of simple economic justice that
should be decided NOW on its merits, with
out regard to selfish pressures or political
calculations.
The CIO news., 1944-09-25
Defrosting Job Long Overdue

It Is nearly \ year now since the CIO
started the present movement to defrost the
Little Steel wage freeze
In line with the wage policy adopted at the
last CIO convention, the United Steelworkers
Of America led off with Its demand for 17c-
an-hour wage increase a guaranteed annual
wage and other improvements.
The basis Of the Steelworkers' case, as
OF similar demands of other unions, was
that living costs have risen 50 far above
the level of frozen wage rates that upward
wage adjustments are clearly necessary to
fulfill the intent Of the Price Control Act
stabilizing prices and wages at the level of
Sept. Is, 1912.
To secure these adjustments, 1t was nee
essary to convince the Natl. War Labor Board
Of the need for revising the Little Steel for
nula, which limits wage increases to 15%
above the level of Jan. /, 1941-on the long
outdated assumption Of q 15% living cost
increase since that date.
So, for many long months now, the
Steelworkers and other CIO unions have
been going through all the lengthy and
tortuous procedures Of the War Labor
Board-proving again and again the most
obvious facts, but still awaiting remedial
action.
voluminous studies were made by the CIO.
which showed 1880 increase In living costs
between January, 1941. and March, 1914. These
had to be checked against reports Of the Blu
reau Of Labor Statistics, studies made by the
employers, and finally a special study by
committee Of experts appointed by the WLB.
Then the Steelworkers had to present to
the Board the most elaborate and thoroughly
documented case ever prepared by labor UNI
ION. in support Of their case for revision Of
the Little Steel formula and their other de-
saands. Half a dozen other CIO unions had
also to present their cases similarly.

American labor's hopes for the
future run to an administration
that will really plan for full pro-
duction and Jobs for all, providing
adequate social protection and use
ful work at decent wages for any
whom private industry may fail to
employ.
For such hopes Dewey offers less
than nothing. The record of his Re-
publican followers In Congress in
defeating the Kilgore-Murray-Tru.
man bill, and in opposing properly
planned reconversion and even the
most limited protection for dis
placed workers, indicates more
clearly than anything Dewey can
say just what might be expected
from an administration he would
head.

Looking Ahead

NEWEY'S labor speech made q
- great hit with the toilers In

over big with the DuPonts, the
Weirs, the Pews, the Sewell Averys
and others who work at working
the workers. The unionists Of the
Union League Club were enthusiast

working" newspapermen like
Roy Howard, VIM. Randolph Hearst
and Berthe Mccormick found much
to praise In 1t. The Scripps-Howard
press for the first time In years ran
an editorial giving 'labor's side
as told by Mr.. Dewey!
Az to the rest Of the working
population, the speech might have
gone over with them too, but for
the fact they have memories Of
the past and-hopes for the future.
h X X
The memories that rose to razz
Dewey's eloquence included the
wage-cutting open-shop drive and
the unchecked layoffs Of the 'twen-
ties-the back to normalcy" of q
Republican administration that linn
tied Its postwar planning to "en-
couraging business to create jobs
and opportunity"
There were mocking echoes too
from the long years Of Harding,
Coolidge and Hoover-when m-
employment insurance, old age
pensions, minimum wage legisla-
ton etc. were SO bitterly opposed
and when collective bargaining
was crushed by the purse-proud
COP "angels" with their private
armies, their company unions and
their labor spies.
When Dewey spoke of BREAD
lines, leaf raking, settling labor dis
putes with gunfire and gasbombs,
wholesale farm foreclosures" and
millions Of unemployed, he stirred
only memories Of the CHASTITY Hoov-
er depression, when the govern
ment lifted not q finger to provide
work. social insurance or any check
on the violence Of anti-union en-
ployers.
This depression was the logical
outcome OF the policies Dewey
now advocates of letting busi-
ness do II" without government
interference"
X 4 X
When Dewey spoke Of the New
Deal, 1t only reminded labor lis
teners how Roosevelt's New Deal
established the right of collective
bargaining through the Wagner
Act; enacted old age pensions, un-
employment insurance and other
social security legislation; checked
sweatshop exploitation and long
hours through the wage-hour law;
and created the Fair Employment
Practice Committee to cope with
Job determinations.
In fact, the only constructive
mote I'm Dewey's speech was such

New Deal polltax Democrats.
This Republican anti New Deal

Act, is a dead cat that Dewey can't

Since about the only prominent
Dewey supporters from labor's
ranks are John L. Lewis and Big

evoke little enthusiasm from the
countless labor unionists who
have suffered from the dictatorial
arrogance and raiding tactics Of
these two individuals.
