Portugal. The exchange was sched-

Organized Labor Is
In Politics for Keeps
BY the Associated Press.

15.-Organized labor is In politics
for keeps, James b. Carey. secretary
treasurer Of the national CIO, de-
clared yesterday.
Speaking before the Institute on
Conditions for m Enduring Peace,
Mr.. Carey asserted 1t Is up to the
workers themselves to help or de-
feat omcials responsible for labor
and social legislation, for, he said,
business has long Influenced Gov
ernment In passing bills which
"crucially affect" workers.
The CIO Political Action Com
mittee Is now fighting to elect ad-
ministrators who will oppose rule by
cartel once the war Is won," MI,
Carey continued. Organized labor
must regard the political front as q
year-around job"
The CIO leader also asserted Gov.
ernment-owned war plants costins
$16, ,000, ,000. 900 should be run aftel
the war in the interest Of all the
people"
these plants belong to all of us,
he said. They should not be sole
ut . cheap price to those Who eithel
allow them to become idle or use
them only enough to guarantee ex.
orbitant profits"
He said Bethlehem Steel had Dur.
chased $22.O00. 900 worth Of Gov.
ernment-financed modern facilities
which they will be able TO writs
OH within i've years. with no stipu.
lation as to their future use."
The postwar plans of the CIC
are two things: Peace and plenty
first, Last and always" Mr.. Carey
said. "Other powerful groups wan
peace and plenty IF. AND BUTTE
they can 60 on making greater
profits than they ever made before
AND If they don't have to Cooperate
With Government or labor unions
BUT only when q very fancy kind O,
power politics Is allowed to con.
tinue In their special interest"
