That's another thing oPA has
been fighting for. OHicials there

supply back under rationing, in.
Guiding utility beef. They could
then make rationing work to give
fair distribution. VIA has sug-
gested lifting rationing from meats
entirely-a step which would create
enormous pressure for price in
crease because supplies are short.
EUROPEANS STARVING
There's another point we Ameri-
cans should keep in mind when
we think about rationing. Millions
of people in Europe are starving.
In Italy almost half of the infants
born die before they are one year
old Yugoslavia and Greece are in
just as desperate plight.
It's our responsibility to help.
We've escaped the horror and
devastation of war In our own
countryside. The least we can do
is to keep our suffering allies
from dying of starvation.
If we're going to do that we can
not be wasteful with our food sup
plies. We should distribute them
carefully and according to need
and build up some SURPRISES.
And the best way we know to do
the job Of distribution according 10
need Is rationing.
It's up to the consumers to con-
vince government that they APP
prove of rationing and want 1t re-
tanned and extended as long as
shortages exist. Marvin Jones. Di-
rector Of the War Food Administra-
ton. should hear from us and
Judge Fred Vinson, Director of
Economic Sterilization. And let's
let Chester Bowles, Administrator
Of OPA, know that we think OPA

The War Food Administration,
which decides what food shall be
rationed, has wanted to remove
controls. They forced the original
meat holiday last spring and the
August removal Of canned vege-
tables from the ration list.
Consumers have been afraid that
the food professors were the real
power behind the scenes there.
They want to sell this years poor
quality canned vegetables at pres
ent high prices as quickly as pos
sible for fear they might have TO
lower prices In case of an early
victory and release of some army
stores.
GAMERS UNCONCERNED
They don't seem to be too con-
cerned about the fact that this
years civilian supply Of canned
vegetables is considerably under
last years. Maybe they even look
forward TO the time when shortages
develop, as they will II the present
reckless policy Of no rationing con-
tinues, because shortages build
pressure for increased prices.
The blue point holiday on
canned vegetables has had anOth-
err serious effect. 1t has reduced
the amount Of prOcessed foods be-
Ing ratloned to such a small frac-
ton OF the total supply that the
system doesn't work. So few
things are being ratiOned that
rationing does not achieve its goal
of fair distribution Of short sup
ply.
For those two reasons OPA has
been pleading for authority to re-
store at least peas, beans. corn and
tomatoes to the ration list. So far
WA has refused to give that au-
thority.
At present only some % per cent
Of the meat supply Is rationed.
Every housewife knows what that
has done to distribution and she
wants more meats back on the

their work I'm the recent

Walter Reuther, vice-pres. Of the
JAW. commenting on the discus
sion Of seniority rights by the con-
ference delegates. said important
as the question Of seniority Is, I'VE
make a mistake IL we believe that
seniority Is the answer to post
war employment. 1t Is not the
answer at best. 1t Is the rule for
dividing up scarcity when there
aren't enough jobs to go around"
"The answer to CT Joe's post
war employment problem cannot
be solved by laying of Mary
Jones or Joe Smith, his neigh
bOr," Reuther said. "There has
got to be job for everyone"
He warned that the CIO In the
immediate postwar period better
fight for a 30-hour week with a
guaranteed annual wage with
wages coming up and prices COM
ing down or we are just kidding
ourselves that we can achieve full
employment, full production, full

including the CLIO Congress Of
W0men's Auxiiiaries and the
CLIO Cost Of Living Committee,
called on Mrs. Eleanor Roose-
welt last Monday to discuss
with her two pressing consumer
problems, the need for low-cost,
durable clothing, and for more
food ratiOning.
The auxiliaries were represented
by their secretary-treasurer, Mrs.
Eleanor Fowler, and Donald Z.
Montgomery appeared for the Cost
of Living Committee.
Lack Of adequate clothing con-
trolls by the War Production Board,
these organizations maintained, has
resulted in the appearance Of
sleazy articles at high prices, the
disappearance Of necessary, serv-
iceable garments for children, war
workers. and farmers, and an album
dance of luxury apparel. They
objected to the continued use of
scarce manpower In producing
luxury and sleazy materials and
garments, while needed clothing Is
often impossible to obtain.
UNEVEN DISTRIBUTION

and meats from rationing, they
asserted. has led to uneven distri-
button of supplies. This penalties

The $50 delegates. representing
100000 JAW members, the largest
group of women workers in any
trade union, rejected proposals for
super-seniority for women workers.
and cast their lot with all war
workers and veterans in pledging
cooperation in q program aimed
at full production and full employ
ment after the victory In Europe
and Asia.
The conference was opened on
Friday morning with message
from JAW Pres. r. J. Thomas. who
Is in London attending preliminary
meetings Of the World Labor Con-
ference which Is 10 convene there
In February.
Thomas told the delegates that

termined by its success in wealth
ering the period of reconverSion."
The conference unanimously OPP
posed the equal rights" constitu-
tional amendment, labelling it as
a device to break down Federal
and State laws protecting the
rights Of women in industry.
Following a speech by Joseph
Velosky, director of the veterans
bureau, war policy division, of the
UAW. promising that the status Of
returned service men would not be
used as a club TO destroy the sem
iority rights of women or other
workers, the delegates endorsed
the JAW veterans program which
gives TO returned soldiers seniority
privileges for the accrued period
of their service with the armed
service in addition to their prior
service, II any, in shops covered
by JAW contracts.

LABOR WILL SUPPORT
INFANTILE CAMPAIGN

Labor organizations and the labor
press throughout the United States
have pledged their cooperation to the
1914 Fund-Raising Appeal of The
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis, it was announced today by
Basil O'Connor, president of the
Foundation. The 1914 Appeal occurs
January 14-31, in connection with the
celebration of President Roosevelt's
birthday, January 80.
Thomas C. Cashen, chairman of the
Railway Labor Executives Associa-
ton; William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor; and
Philip Murray, president of the Con-
gress of Industrial Organizations,
head the Labor Division of the Ma
tional Foundations 1914 Appeal.
In appealing to labor organizations
for treasury and membership contri-
buttons, Mr.. O'Connor points out that
the 1943 epidemic third worst in
the recorded history Of the disease in
the United States struck heavily at
Americas war production workers
| and their children.
"We know that the year 1914 will
present real challenge to the Ma
tional Foundation" he said. CAL
though the present epidemic is SUBJ
siding, there are many thousands of
its victims who will be patients in
1914, and some of them for many
years thereafter. But - the Crippler
will march again. And so the work of
the National Foundation must be in
| tensifed."

ones and just as politicians have
made some pretty bad ones.
President Roosevelt has made some
pretty bad mistakes.
What's the sense of attempting
to make the public believe in a
perfection which does not exist
and could not exist?
On top of the basic mistake in pol
icy or action, there is the mistake of
badly presenting case in which the
unions have been right. An example
of this is the call for strike on the
railroads.
The governments mistakes got
pretty fair apology and explanation;
the union case got shot to pieces be-
fore most people knew it. Generally
the public still thinks the unions were
rather dictatorial and lacking in an
appreciation Of the needs of war. This
could have been otherwise.
There are two basic faults which
labor does not admit, but which, in
time, it must admit or take beating
First, there is an all too general
failure to understand that there is
something beside a labor interest at
stake in most big disputes-there is
that vague thing called a public in
terest.
Second, there is the rather general
fact that such public relations men
and press agents as unions employ are
not accepted as advisors in special
lied field; they are errand boys who
do what they are told, thus defeating
the purpose of their existence. They
don't have much voice in fixing poll
cies; they do their best to explain

not making money out of the war,
for it's 1912 profits of $5,461 900, after
taxes, because this was four times it's
peace-time average and 49 per cent of
it's investment.
The Harnischfeger Corp, for it's
1912 profits, after taxes, of $2,795, 900
as compared with $561 900 in 1910,

to that time. This was almost five
times it's best prewar year.
The minority report warned that
the amendments approved by the FL
nance Committee to the renegotiation
law would exempt all of these COM
panies, and the exemption for the last
two would be retroactive, so they
would get big refunds on excessive
profits already returned to the gov
ernment.
"These cases are not exceptional
instances" the Walsh report said
Similar profit figures are general for
such articles. In 1912, the profits
| (after taxes) of 10 companies making
| perishable tools were IL times their
prewar (1936-39) average. The 1912
profits for 25 woolen textile compan-
les had increased nine-fold. Profits of
10 lumber companies for the same pc
riod quadrupled. Fifty-three cotton
textile companies realized eight times
as much profit (after taxes) in 1912
as in the average prewar 1896 -'39)
years. These figures represent profits
before renegotiation."
