force for the building of gen

only in America but all around
the world" Thomas said.
Pledging the full support of the
UAW-CIO to the expansion of exist
ing co-operatives and the founding of
new ones in the coming year, Thomas
declared that consumer cooperation
is a living answer to those who say
that people only can prosper through
dog-eat-dog tactics of economic COM
petition.
sit is the policy of our union, by
convention action" Thomas pointed
out, ''to encourage and aid in the for
nation of co-operatives. We have
passed such a resolution, but we are
not going to stop there. The Con-
sumers Division of the UAW-CIO, in
conjunction with our Educational de-
partment, is going to actively engage
in the work of building the co-opera-

'In the coming year, we are going
to work closely with the Cooperative
League in bringing our union mem

ST am convinced" Thomas stated,
''that the consumer co-operatives offer
sound economic solution to many of
the social problems which have sub

plenty, and which have had much to |

A LOOK INTO THE FUTURE
"a Broadcast by LowNDEs MAURY of Butte)

Fellow Americans:
honor of addressing you tonight.
Our brave boys have been fighting
two years around the world In tropic
! jungles, on snow clad Apprentices, with
Josip Bros, that hero of Serbia and
| Montenegro, on the frozen plains of
Russia, in the icy clouds of Berlin.
They have made it safe for us at
home. Their mighty work may soon
be done in Europe.
And, now, what welcome home
brave lads?
Five and twenty years ago the faith
ers of these same splendid Americans
, did the same work. They expected to
find good job at home, to raise a
family, to settle down to social Sc
curity. They got loud welcome of
words, but no work. In rags they fl
nally assembled at the nations CAPT
toll. They presented their petitions to
the White House. They were fired
on by regular troops. Their howell
camp was scattered like rats nest.
One who is still giving us much advice
from the side lines about how to run
this country was then president of
these United States.
Can we give our returning soldiers
a better Homecoming this time? 1t
is possible. But, to do it, we must
not be as those whom the Savior con-
demned; they who stoned their prohp-
cts while alive, built splendid sepul-
chres to them when dead. We must
heed the words of our social philos-
ophers.
One-half of our workers are now
either in the armed forces, or making
munitions. Such work, in times of
peace, does not produce useful goods.
The other half is supporting, in sur
prising comfort, under strict govern
ment RECOMMENDATION, not only the
armed forces, but also the munition
makers, and also the civil population.
With less than one-half of our able
bodied farmers and factory workers
in production, the total product is
just two and one-half times as much |
in 1943, as it was in 1889. No body |
is unemployed. All sensible people |
fear that with our awkward system |
of distribution, production for profit |
instead of for use, when demobiliza- |
ton comes, and the other half of our |
farm and factory workers return, anx- |
ious to go back to work, the gross |
output will be not more, but far less |
than what it is now; that the men |
now being sustained in the armed |
forces will be displaced; that more
than 10 million ex-soldiers and NUM- |
ton workers will be starving dere-
licts in one-sided social system.
This can all be avoided, but | fear
it will not be done until after nation
wide suffering from idle factories and
farms That we will final
Iy adopt production for use is written
in the Book of Evolution. The peri
odic depressions of the last one hun
1red years will keep coming until fl
nally the American people will learn
how to avoid them. But will that
happy day come as a well considered
plan, or will it be convulsiye-forced
Upon us by starvation? In plain Ian
suage, will it come by revolution, or
by decently worked out, organized
effort of the people of America.
We were at the same crossroads

R00SEVELT'S
REELECTION
FAVORED BY Two

NEW YORK.-A fourth term in the
presidency of the United States is
advocated by the general executive
board of the International Workers
Order, Inc, in their official call to
the sixth annual convention of the
order to be held in New York City
during the week Of July 4, 1914.
Setting forth the principal ques-
lions which will be taken up at the
national convention, the call, appear
ing in the January 1914 Fraternal
Outlook, the IWO's official monthly
magazine, declared.
HTile destiny of our country, now
held in the strong arms of our service
men, will depend, as we'll, upon the
high public officials to be elected by
the people; the president, who is
also the commander-in-chief of the
armed forces; the congress of the
United States; the governors and
other important public officers.
Eve therefore, place before the con-
vention, our recommendation that the
order support the reelection of Frank
lin Delano Roosevelt :"
The call was signed by the follow
ing national officers of the TWO, who
are members of the GEB: Max Be-
dacht, general secretary; William
Weiner, president; Peter Shipka, ma
tional treasurer; and the three ma
tional vice presidents, John E. Mid
dleton, Louise Thompson and Rock
well Kent.
The last national convention of the
TWO was held in New York City in
1910, its opening session at that time
taking place in the Worlds Fair
Grounds.
The GEB, in the convention call,
declaring that the decisions of the
Moscow and Teheran conferences, de-
manded greater sacrifices of all Amer
leans in winning the war and the
peace, pledged that the TWO member
ship was ready for those sacrifices
and would strive, with all other Amer
leans, to sweep away complacency, to
increase production and meet the
tasks and duties required to help vic
tory.

NEW FOOD PRICE ADJUSTMENTS

NEW FOOD PRICE ADJUSTMENTS
To allow food professors upward
adjustments of their maximum prices
because of wage increases, the Office
of Price Administration has amended
food regulations covering canned
fruits and vegetables, frozen fruits,
berries, and vegetables, jams, jellies,
pickles, and picked products, and ap-
pie products. OPA estimated that in
creases at retail will not run more
than one cent can or, in the case
of frozen fruits, one cent pound.
There will be no increases in prices
civilians pay for tomatoes, peas, snap
beans, corn, peaches, and pears.

CIVILIAN MEAT SUPPLY

About two-thirds (67 per cent? OF
the United States supplies of meat
available for all needs in 1914 has
been allocated to U. S. civilians, &C
cording to the War Food Administra-
ton. This ALLEGATION will allow about
the same per capita civilian meat con-
sumption in 1914 as in 1913. On a
dressed weight basis, it is equivalent
to approximately 1872 pounds per CAPT
ia for. the year compared with the
pre-war 1859 average of about 126
pounds.

Washington-"This, Mr.. Chair
man, is perhaps the Negroes
temporary farewell to the Ameri-
can Congress; but let me say,
sphinx-like, he will rise up some
day and come again"
These words were spoken by
Representative George H. White
of North Carolina, the last Negro
congressman of the reconstruction
period, in an address to the final
session of the Seth Congress in
1901. Up to that time, % Negroes
had been elected to the Congress
of the United States since 1868.
The North Carolina congress-
mans prediction came to pass in
1881, 80 years later, when Oscar
DePriest of Chicago, was elected
from Illinois, and from then on,
at least one Negro has served in
every Congress.
Now, for the first time since
Reconstruction, two Negroes
will be seated simultaneously in
Congress, the 18th, converting
in January. They are Adam
Clayton Powell, Jr., New York
preacher, publisher and former
city councilman, elected on the
