DEMOCRATIC PARTY
MAKES
CONCESSIONS TO AFL

Chicago. - In a brief, streamlined
platform which contained no separate
labor plank, the Democratic Party
gave support to some of the outstand-
ing demands of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor.
At hearing before the conven-
tons resolution committee, President
Green emphasized the need for repeal
of the obnoxious Connally- Smith Act
and urged amendment of the National
Labor Relations Act to assure workers
the right to decide for themselves
which union shall represent them in
collective bargaining.
The platform, as adopted, favored
"the amendment or repeal of any law
enacted in recent years which has
failed to accomplish its purpose"
Mr. Green declined to comment on
this declaration or on the platform as
a whole, but A. F. of l.. represent
atives attending the convention gen
orally interpreted this language as a
concession to the A. F. of l.. de-
mands.
Other platform statements which
received favorable comment were
those which pledged adequate COM
pensation for workers during mobili-
zation" and enactment of such ad-
ditional humanitarian, labor, social
and farm legislation as time and ex-
perience may require"
This was far cry from outright
endorsement of the Federation-spon-
sored Wagner Murray -Dingell Socia
Security Bill, but it was considered a
step in that direction.
The platform also endorsed in
creased Federal aid to education, as
recommended by Mr.. Green
In one particular only did the plat
form openly reject labor's united pol
icy. 1t recommended to Congress
submission of an equal rights amend
ment for women, measure which
would wipe out all of the Legislative
projections for women in industry
enacted in the last half-century.
With respect to foreign policy, the
convention took a strong stand right
in line with the Federation's recon-.
mendations for the formation of ar
international organization to establish
to peace, maintain the peace, ano
enforce the peace, if necessary.

the Republicans have forgotten and
want the voters also to forget this
inconvenient fact.
We might avoid postwar slump
with careful government planning.
But the Republican Senators and Con-
gressmen voted almost unanimously
to end the efficient government PLAN
ming bureau, the National Resources
Planning Board, which was outlining
proposals to prevent unemployment
by useful government projects and by
methods to insure an adequate in
crease in purchasing power for the
mass of people above the pre-war
level.

return to 4O-hour week. In addi-
tion, millions of workers will have to
shift from relatively high paid war
production jobs to lower paid civilian
work.
Despite the fact that farmers aver
age income has increased during the
war by 204 per cent, the study does
not charge that farmers are making
too much money. Pointing out that
the farmers average income has gone
up from $691 to $2,103, the study
said: "the war has brought much
needed increase for millions of farm
ers who were desperately poor"
Nor does the study complain of the
94 per cent increase in incomes that
the war has brought to business men,
since this group is made up largely
of small businesses whose average in
come before the war was compara-
lively low.
Corporations, the study shows, are
the ones that have been making the
big money out of the war. That is
especially true Of some 1,4O0 large
corporations, including 95 per cent of
the nations largest companies, which
earned (after payment of taxes) 7.9
per cent on net worth in 1889 and
10.4 per cent in 1943.

ward coming because of this sacrifice
ought to get by with sane and in
telligent persons.
Too many are willing to cry, "pin
medal on me because / gave my
boy" It may sound harsh, but it was
the boy who gave and no one else.
Was it Columbus, or was it his
father and mother who discovered
America?
Is General Pershing acclaimed be-
cause he had son, or because he led
victorious armies?
AS the months unfold we shall see
Congress bedeviled by terrific pres
sures, some of which will seek to
guide policies, or to get rewards be-
cause of relationships and because of
alleged sacrifices that never were
made.
Tears will roll and bunco profundo
will thunder forth. Some congressman
will get scared and will yield; some
will yield because they think that
way, too.
Let us hope, for the welfare OF
the nation, that enough stand up
and act like intelligent adults.
Let's get over the insanity of vi
carious sacrifice and vicariouS virtue
Look out for the mothers" of this
and-that and, isn't it fair to add, re-
member that lot of them didn't
volunteer for motherhood either.
We come, day by day, nearer to the
hour in which our good sense must
be tested in the making of new
peace which must be sound and en-
during. The process of its making
must not be clouded and colored ant
stained by fake pretensions and mis-
erably assumed sorrows and senti
mentalities. Ideas and thoughts AM
/ plans must justify themselves on in
trinsic merit and if they cannot d.
that, then out of the window will
them! - G. M. w.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1944-08-04

Watch now for a recurrence of
groups for this-and-that kind of a
peace with Germany Whatever may
happen within Germany, the groups
of pro-Nazis in the United States can
be expected to revive their propa-
ganda campaigns for peace that will
breed another war.
The mother" outfits that loused up
the landscape before we entered the
war will be at it again. The bundists
will be at it, probably under other
names.
The one thing that will slow them
up somewhat will be the fact that,
though war with Germany ends, we
shall continue to live in state of war
until Japan is crushed. But it will
not stop them entirely.
Of all the groups probably the most
thoroughly disgusting are the So
called mother" groups. "Mothers" of
this kind and mothers" of that.
By virtue of having been mothers
they make some sort of special claim
to influence.
Motherhood of itself confers moth
ing. Neither does fatherhood, nor any
other kind of relationship.
AS matter of fact, there is en-
tirely too much Of the business of
claiming some special rights or in
fuence because of something done,
often unwillingly.
Even the soldier doesn't have too
much special claim, if he ends his
service sound and well.
Doesn't citizenship carry with it an
obligation? Must every service to
freedom be paid for? Is citizenship
a commodity, subject to barter
But to get back to the mothers" !"
We had the "Mothers of America" and
it is possible the outfit still exists,
openly or otherwise. They clamored
and generally cut sorry figure of
sordid propaganda.
Be on the watch for more of such
aggregations, for they will bloom,
even as the green bay tree.
To get slant on just how pre-
sumptious and idiotic this claim to
consideration by reason of motherhood
actually is, ask any one of the pro-
fessional mothers" of propaganda
Istripe how much they would now care
to be guided by their mothers!
Each member of mother" outfit
also had mother. But it's only the
current mother who counts. Let the
"Grandmothers of America" come into
the picture and see how fast the
| Mothers of America" would run them
| off the lot.
Adults stand on their own, or ought
to, whether they are soldiers, farmers
or workers. They do their own work

CORPORATIONS
PROFITS DOUBLE
WHILE WAGES LAG

Washington, d. C. - Corporations
are making the big money out of the
war and the workers are paying for
it "by the dollar bills left out of their
pay checks" the A. F. of L. charges
in it's current Labor's Monthly Re-
view.
In the case of corporations it was
possible to obtain figures after taxes,
and these show that net earnings of
corporations were still 101 per cent
higher than their pre-war earnings.
In other words, during the war
years 1939-43 corporations showed a
greater increase in earnings after
payment of taxes than workers and
businessmen were able to show be-
fore paying their taxes.
The article charged that the Ad-
ministration's wage policy discrimi-
mates against wage earners by hold
ing workers pay down while the in
comes of other groups were permitted
to rise without restrictions.
AS result, said the study, only
per cent of American workers today

BASIL O'CONNOR
THANKS LABOR
PRESS FOR DRIVE aid

Washington, D. C.-Basil O'Connor,
President of the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis and newly ap-
pointed head of the American Red
Cross, thanked the labor press in
glowing terms for it's particularly
fine support" Of the Foundations an
nual Embarrassing appeal.
In a letter to the editor of the AFL
Weekly News Service, Mr.. O'Connor
said that the drive was the most sue
cessful ever conducted and the money
raised can now be used to help thou
sands of children and adults stricken
by the disease which is now taking its
customary summer toll The text of
Mr.. O'Connor's letter follows:
"While all reports are not yet in,
we know now that our 1914 Fund
Raising Appeal was the most success
full we have ever conducted.
During this appeal, the labor press
of the United States gave us particu-
larly fine support. Undoubtedly the
editors of the labor papers realized
that large share of the benefits Of
the National Foundations work would
return. to the families of the men and
women workers of America who are
doing such a commendable job in
Americas vital production army.
To-day, with infantile paralysis
again on it's summer march, | want
to extend our sincere thanks to you
on behalf of the thousands of chill
dren and adults who will be aided
through your efforts and through
the contributions from labor gener-
ally"

FULL EMPLOYMENT AND THE
G. O. P. PLATFORM

The Republican platform promises
full employment after the war-as of
course it would have to. But the really
significant thing is that it doesn't offer
single constructive suggestion as to
how to achieve full employment and
prevent a disastrous depression with
millions out of work. Apparently the
Republicans never heard of the figures
which tell US that, owing to the i'm
provements in the methods of produc-
tion and the use and invention of new
machinery, we could produce as much
in 1916 as we turned out in 1910 and
still leave five million people unem-
ployed than were jobless in that year.
What the Republicans specifically
promise is lower taxes, balanced
budget, less federal government ac-
tivity, and more power for the states,
and no bureaucracy But that is ex-
actly what the Republicans were Civ
ing us when Harding, Coolidge, and
Hoover were in office, and we had a
terrible depression, the worst the
country has ever known. Apparently

FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1914.
HOW ABOUT THIS AMENDMENT?

A new amendment is proposed for
the Constitution Of the U. S. 1t would
be the twenty-second amendment, and
it's purpose is to limit the power of
Congress to tax incomes more than
25 per cent or to tax gifts or to tax
estates more than 25 per cent.
You have perhaps heard nothing
about this modest proposal, or if you
know about it you have probably
given it little thought. 1t is one of
those things which sometimes slip
through Congress, and the bang comes
later.
If this amendment were law, Henry
Ford, who now pays about $S00,000
income taxes on an income of ST.
100000, could be charged no more
than $250,OOO.
But Joe Smith, who now pays per-
haps SITS on his $4,000, could have
his taxes boosted to $500.
Of course, Congress wouldn't do
anything like that to Joe, but under
such law Congress could not collect
much from Henry.
If all our big-income boys can save
such huge sums by the enactment of
such an amendment, perhaps you can
figure how much they will kick into
a fund to get such law across. Cir
culars have been sent all over invit-
ing contributions, and you can expect
a real campaign for this amendment.
To be adopted it must get by rs
per cent of the state legislatures, so
even though Congress sends it out you
will still have chance in your home
state.
So, do your stuff, but don't forget
that money talks.
