LABOR ALL-OUT

LABOR ALL-OUT
 Labor has gone all-Out in this election campaign because it is in- terested in the welfare of our cOun- try" Collins continued. ''We are not interested in politics as poli- tics. We believe that under Presi- dent Roosevelt, the best interests of all of the people will be served. MT. Dewey's dOuble-talk, his rec ord, and the people who are behind hlm serve notice on all who are willing to see that he is not the man for the office of Chief Execu- tive of the United States.
 We in Connecticut have the further duty of seeing to it that we help President Roosevelt carry out his policies by sending to Congress Brien McMahon as our next United States Senator and the men and women who have been nominated to oppose the incumbent members of the House of Representatives.
 Tn the difficult days ahead, organ ized labor wants Congress that will cooperate as far as possible with our President, not Congress which will block and ObStruct.
 And in our State Capitol in Hart ford, we want as our next Governor Robert A. Hurley, the man who keeps his promises.
 ''The members of the American Federation of Labor in Connecticut have done outstanding work in making new voters, and in explain ing the basic issues of this cam paign. Now it is up to all of us to take the final step, and vOte.''

 Donoghue predicted that an ex- tremely high percentage of the mem bers of the railroad unions would vote despite the difficult work hours kept by the railroad men.

The maneuvering which delayed,
and came near denying, a public
hearing before the War Labor
Board for the CLIO United Steel
workers reflects little credit on the
employer and ALL representatives.
1t was perhaps understandable
that the employers should do
everything possible to block
hearing that would expose their
extortionate profits and other spe-
cial privileges, and prove labor's
case for revision Of the Little Steel
formula.
But what excuse was there for
the blocking tactics of the AFL
leaders?
They simply did not want the

CLIO to get the credit. Yet they
had no case of their own like
the Steelworkers' which had
gone through all stages of WLB
procedure and could furnish q
real test Of the Little Steel for
mula.
The CLIO was not so petty. 1t
supported an AFL petition simply
asking in general terms for re-
vision Of the formula. But when
this was voted down, the AFL
tried to stop the Steelworkers
from being heard.
1t only agreed finally to q hear
ing when an extra panel was also
voted to let Il do some general
talking.

hid YOU ever hear OF the carry
back carry-forward" No, ii has
nothing TO do with 1--WE. But it's
certainly smooth.
It's a tidbit the profiteers have
been keeping all 10 themselves.
They don't think II nice TO talk
about such things in public. That's
one reason the CLIO United Steel
workers had so much trouble in
getting a public hearing on their
wage case.
Not TO keep you In suspense
too long, the "carry-back carry

corporations are guaranteed good
and regular profits until two
years after the war, no matter
what happens. They just can't
lose.
Congress has generously guaran-
teed them profits that are at least
equal to, and may exceed, their
profits for the years 1859. II
company's profits drop below this
level, 1t may secure refunds from
the u. S. Treasury up to the total
amount 1t paid in income and ex-
cess profits taxes during the last
two war years. That's the carry
back angle.
II a company's losses should ex-
coed what it paid in these taxes,
then the excess loss can be carried
forward in the form of tax savings
for two years.
For instance, the average annual
net profits after taxes Of u. s. Steel
were $44, 732.OO0 from 1896 to 1899.
If the company breaks even in 1914,
which means operating at less than
500 of capacity, 1t will receive
nice little check of $4o, 100000 from
the u. S. government-and still
more, IL It's earnings drop lower.
III after the war the company
should curtail its operations and
lay of half It's workers, Uncle
Sam will see that Il IL still guar
anteed normal profits for two
years, so nO-coupon-clippers may
go hungry, but only the workers.
4 4 X
This is one Of many startling
and little publicized facts revealed
in the brief submitted by the Unit
ed Steelworkers to the War Labor
Board panel.
In this brief, Pres. Philip Muir
ray presents not only the steel
workers case for a lie wage adj
justment, but also the case of all
labor for revision of the sO-called
Little Steel formula.
The outcome of this first test Of
the wage-freeze formula concerns
every worker in the United States.
Upon II depends the restoration Of
some stability to our wartime econ

omy, so badly unbalanced now by
frozen wages, on the one hand, and
sky-high living costs and profits, on
the other.
Here are some of the main facts
and arguments in the Clio brief:
ID The Clio has been the
staunchest supporter Of economic
sterilization, as outlined in the
Presidents seven-point program.
When wage rates were stabilized
at the level OF Sept. IS. 1912, the
WLB assumed living costs would
also be stabilized under this pro-
gram; and the President himself
asserted wage earners would be
entitled to higher wages II this
were not done.
But Congress blocked enactment
of the tax, price control, and other
points of the seven-point program.
And the later attempt to roll back
prices was also prevented.
~ As a result, living costs have
gone up 1870 since Jan. !, 1941,
while the Little Steel formula has
limited wage increases to 1870.
(S) Corporate profits meanwhile
have increased 1890 before taxes,
over pre-war levels, and as much
as 1880 after taxes; and Congress
has prevented any adequate taxa
ton Of war profits. Such profit
eering, particularly excessive In
the food industries, has been the
chief cause of imitation.
(4) Through the farm parity sys-
tenn, farmers are protected against
increased living costs. which for
them are estimated by the u. S.
Dept. OF Agriculture to be up 42.6es.
This leaves labor the only substan-
tial group without any government
guarantees such as are enjoyed by
industry and farmers.
(5) Labor has suffered q reduc-
ton I'm Its share Of the national
Income during the war. The cor
poratiOns' share has risen 5000.
The farm-owners' share has risen
1870. But labOr's share has risen
only 72T.
t6) Labor's wage demands are
not inflaiionary. The steel wage In
crease, for instance, can easily be
paid out Of excessive profits with
out any increase in the price of the
product.
The idea that increased purchas-
ing power for low-paid wage-earn-
ers will cause imitation, because Of
shortage OF consumers good (the
"infationary gap" theory Is fall
lacious. 1t does not take into ac-
count increased savings and the
fact that wage earners do not have
excess purchasing power.

Lobor's Case For Fair Wages
And a Stable Economy

More than this, it has guaranteed high level
of profits for two years after the war, through
tax refunds to any company whose profits fall
below their pre-war level.
Farm proprietors through the parity sys-
tenn, also are granted a certain guarantee Of
assured income for two years after the war,
thus leaving labor the only substantial section
of the population that can count on no degree
of economic security.
The Steelworkers' demand for guaranteed
annual wage is one method proposed by Pres.
Murray to remedy somewhat this gross dis
elimination against Americas wage-earners.
The CIO brief gives ample proof that
labors wage demands are in no sense infia-
tionary. They can easily be met out of high
profits without increasing prices
Initiation can and must be checked bv
rigid price control, food subsidies rationing,
adequate taxation of profits and higher in
comes and other steps outlined in Pres.
Roosevelt's seven-point program.
In seeking revision of the Little Steel
formula to adjust wages to increased living
costs, the CLIO is not trying to upset the eco
nomic sterilization SO necessary for q
healthy wartime economy.
On the contrary, 1t is trying to bring
about the balance and stability envisaged In
the Presidents anti-inHation program, and
to make effective the spirit of the stabilize
ton legislation requiring prices as well as
wages to be stabilized at the Sept. Is, 1912,
level.
This balance was completely upset, when
Congress allowed prices to rise far out of
range of frozen wages.
In order to restore this balance and to
achieve some degree of stability either prices
must be rolled back to the Sept. Is level
which has not be done-or wages must be
adjusted upward. There Is no escaping this
logic.
The Steelworkers' case is not their case
alone. 1t is the case of all labor and the
whole American people-the case for an eff
cient, productive and balanced wartime econ
omy.
The CIO news. (Cumberland, Md.) 1942-????, 1944-03-27

Labor's case for revision of the Little Steel
formula got its first full-dress hearing last
week, when Pres. Philip Murray presented the
arguments of the United Steelworkers OF
America for TIC wage adjustment TO panel
of the National War Labor Board
With a certain appropriateness, the
hearings were held in the auditorium of the
National Museum. For the wage-freeze
formula is by now so far unrelated to the
present conditions of our wartime economy
that it is a museum piece.
It's dry bones should be stored away with
those of the museums extinct animals
Murray pointed out that the Little Steel
formula was admittedly based on the assump-
ton that living costs would also be stabilized
at the level of Sept. IS, 1912, and that the
other six points of the Presidents seven-point
program would also be carried out.
Instead of that living costs have risen
1880 since Jan. l, 1941, while the Little
Steel formula limits wage increases to 1870
over the level at that date.
Labor's figures on living costs have been
challenged by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
But the Steelworkers' brief points out that
they are fully confirmed by another govern
ment agency, the Bureau of Agricultural Eco
Monies, which estimates the increase in
farmers living costs at approximately the
same percentage as labor has done.
Pres. Murray's brief includes the most
comprehensive study yet made of the glaring
determinations against wage-earners as COM
pared with other sections of our population.
Through case studies of thousand or
more steelworkers, he shows that the average
steelworker's family is actually going into the
hole, despite longer working hours and greatly
increased productivity.
Labor's percentage of the national income
has also decreased, as compared with other
groups.
Corporate profits, on the other hand,
have risen to fabulous heights, even after
increased wartime taxes. This prOfiteering
Is the chief cause Of present infationary in
creases I'm living costs, and Congress has
refused to check It by fair taxation.
Congress has enacted tax legislation to
relieve the greedy at the expense of the needy.

ACareer
Or a Homer
BY HELEN ROWLAND

A CAREER-GIRL writes to
ask me to settle her problem
for her. Shall she marry now
tat 22) or put IL of until she
has made good at her career?
Nearly every girl, In these
days, has 10 answer that ques-
ton for herself. She alone can
guess which will mean more to
her-professional success or a
happy marriage-and whether
she can manage to wangle them
both.
The time 10 make good at a
career is while you're young
and full of life and enthusiasm
and high hopes. But also the
ideal time TO marry is while
you are young and ardent and
adaptable. This doesn't mean
leaping straight from the bas-
sinet 10 the altar nor cutting
YOUR teeth on a wedding ring.
YET THE GIRL who insists
on putting off marriage until
she has tried her wings or seen
a little more of life may be
preparing herself for a diet OF
dead sea fruit in the future.
Marriage is for just one pur-
poSe-and that is the purpose
of making a life together,
whether it's a home life, a
gypsy life, an adventure or a
career. And when you have
already made your own life and
found your place in the scheme
of things all by your lonesome.
a husband is apt TO spoil the
ensemble or disrupt everything.
Taking a brand new man into
your life after il is all set and
after you have fixed ideas about
the temperature Of a room or
the way a steak should be
cooked is as risky as bringing
a brand new piece Of furniture
into a room that has already
been artistically completed by
an interior decorator.
If HE FITS into the arrange
ment, doesn't crowd out every
thing else and seems just the
finishing touch necessary to
give your life charm and
balance, you are lucky and wise
to marry him no matter what
your age. But If he is too
young or too old, too brilliant
or too dull-if he doesn't blend
with the tempo and arrange
ment of your life, your expert
ment will end in failure and
establishment.
Two young things in the
twenties can adjust themselves
to each others ways and tenn
peraments and even each
others careers-so that they
grow together like two punches
of iris planted in the same
garden.
THEY CAN START life on a
shoe string and get used to eat
ing spaghetti and meatballs and
sleeping on hard studio touches
and can dream sweetly of
their golden future instead of
lying awake and nagging each
other about the bills. But after
two peoples lives have jelled,
it's different.
Congenial companionship d, Is
the sweetest and most precious
thing in the world. Every
man needs it and every woman
longs for it. And the best time
to find 1t is in the springtime
oil life, at the beginning of your
career.
So if this column ever gave
advice, I'd say obey that i'm
pulse-marry the boy! There
is no career, however, dazzling,
that can take the place Of
young love.
