ORGANIZE

We, the people-the workers,
the farmers, the housewives and
the small businessmen - must
organize for political action
right in the block where we live
in the precinct and the ward
where we vote.
That is why the CIO Political
Action Committee is making the
organization of communities for
political action it's number one
job. That is why ward and pre-
cinct organizations are being es-
tablished in hundreds of cities
and towns throughout the coun-
try.
The time is growing short.
Start organizing your COM
munity without delay. No one
will do it for us. We have to
do it ourselves. And by we
we really mean you. 1t is as
much your job as it is anybody
else's.

clO. Leaders
Endorse
Truman

NEW YORK. - Officials of
CIO international unions re-
emphasized their support of the
Roosevelt Truman ticket this
week, throwing the full strength
of the CIO membership into the
fight to elect the Democratic
candidates and a liberal Con-
gress in accord with their views.
From CIO President Philip
Murray on down, CIO leaders
were unanimous in their belief
that victory for the Roosevelt
Truman slate would insure a
speedy and total victory in the
war and postwar era of full
employment and security.
In notifying Chairman Sidney
Fillman of the CIO Political
Action Committee Of their sup
port, the top CIO heads stressed
that Republican victory
would bring the nation nothing
but chaos. Here are some of
those statements:
CIO President Philip Murray;
THE, Democratic party is
presenting two liberal candi-
dates in President Roosevelt and
Senator Truman. II shall belthe

lend every possible degree OF
support to elect them"a sM.i 20

dealings with him, to be an

paign for modification, of the
wage freeze, his fight for such
vital legislation as. the Kilgore
Reconversion bill, price con-,
troll, FEPC and the Farm Sc
curity Administration show him
to be one of the handful of
genuine liberals in the present
Senate.

dent, United Rubber Workers

that this greatest of all liberals

government during this time of
emergency and crisis. 1t is un-
thinkable that his magnanimous
offer of continued services be
rejected
Other CIO heads also issued
statements giving Senator Tru-
man their support.

Remember
November
Election

NEW YORK, N. Y.-The Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Ma
tional Citizens Political Action
Committee, meeting here for the
first time last week, adopted
as its objective the election of
President Roosevelt, Senator
Harry S. Truman and a prog
.ressive Congress "as the best
assurance that the will of the
people will be realized"
Warming that the November
election is a turning point in
history" the Committee pledged
itself to bring to the electorate
"the issues of this election-the
great issues of war, peace, full
employment and full produc-
ton; the records of the candi-
dates their promises kept and
unkept-; the urgency for all
eligible voters to register and
vote, and the need to fight for
the servicemen's right of fran
chise."
The November z elections is
not a battle between political
parties, but is a contest between
two ways of life, the Committee
said Under Roosevelt and Tru-
man America is offered Co
operation among nations for en-
during peace and a program to
give full employment and real
security to our people by utiliz-
ing our rich resources for the
benefit of ALL"

Labor Gets
Smallest Part
Of Income
Overtime Work
Important Factor in
Workers Income

Labor receives but 72 per
cent of the national income,
much of which is due to
overtime work and pay or
average wages from 81, ,372
to $2,360.
This figure was given in a
pamphlet issued by the CIO
Department of Research and
Education "Steel Fights for the
Nation" In comparison with
labor, the corporation received
302 per cent-or from nearly
six billion to over % billion
dollars. Farm income received
179 per cent of the national in
come or from over four to $12
billion dollars.
There is no truth to the story
so widely broadcast that labor
is profiteering from the war,
says the pamphlet. The story
about labor's prosperity is a
myth, a smokescreen behind
which a new generation of war
profiteerS hide their colossal
gains, an effort to direct the at
tention of the public from the
truly guilty.
No SiIkshirt Era
Figures supplied in the book
are a digest of the Brief sub
mitted by the United Steel
Workers to the National War
Labor Board in March 1914,
Summing up the case for the
Steel Workers President Philip
Murray said, "this is no silk
shirt era for the nations steel
workers"
Not only are the steelWorkers
failing to receive proper wages;
but the American people as a
whole are not getting rich says
the article which states that
there are more than 20 million
families with incomes under
$500 per year, comprising 81
per cent of the nations families.
In contrast with the steel
workers wages are the salaries
of the officials of the great steel
companies. Salaries of top flight
officials in the steel companies
range from $527,000 paid to
Eugene Grace of Bethlehem Steel
to c. Verify, vice-president of
the American Rolling Mills
whose annual salary is $103, ,433
per year.
The book presents the de-
mands of the Steel Workers in
clear and concise form, and is
recommended reading for all
union officials who have briefs
to draw up for the War Labor
Board. .r t

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7 -
(LPA)-American Legion COM
mander Warren Atherton will
be under attack at the Legion
convention September 18 to 20
because of his attempts to put
over on the membe- hip en-
dorsement of a labor draft bill.
This is revealed in documents
made public by the Conference
of Union Labor Legionnaires,
which charges Atherton exceed
ed his authority when he en-
dorsed the Austin WadSworth
labor draft bill.
The Samuel Gompers Post of
the Legion in Oakland, Calf,
one of the 80 labor posts in the
country, has sent in a protest
pointing out that while the
Legion is on record of uni
versal draft of men anc dol
lars, no convention has ever
endorsed the Austin -WadSworth
proposal, which would draft
labor alone. AS an answer,
the executive board of the LIE.
gion has passed a resolution en-
dorsing the bill, an action with

the bill had previously ap-

Kuenzli's article, in which he

hinder and not help the war
effort, is being reprinted by the

er would be entitled if his war
job folded up. Labor repreSen-
tatives opposed the states-rightS
measure because it would have
meant inadequate benefits in
almost every state.
Contracted with the success
full George bill-supported by a
coalition of Republicans and
anti-labor Democrats-was the
Kilgore-M Murray bill, 1t would
have amended the CT Bill of
Rights, to raise the benefits for
an unemployed veteran with
three or mere children to $25 a
week for as much as two years
after the wars end. For war
workers unable to find new
jobs, the bill provided unem-
ployment benefits of 75qo of
their wages during a base
period during the war; in no
case would they get more than
the Servicemen. Even these
provisions, weaker and less gen.
erous than those under the
original Kilgore measure, were
attacked by the reactionary
Senator's.
The vote was 55-l9 against
the measure, which was rushed
through on August 18th when
most labor-supported Senators
were out of this city. However,
a fight on the floor was made
for several days by such men
as Robert Wagner I'd, N. ",
Harley Kilgore Cd, w. VaD,
Claude Pepper 3D., Fla.), and
Francis Maloney Cd, Conn.,.
Labor spokesmen here indi-
cate a hope that, in the House,
there will not be such a firm,
uncompromising anti-labor COM
bination, and that the House
version of the unemployment
pay bill will be much more ac-
ceptable to organized labor. 1t

gress' scheduled recess from
September first until after cleo

Judge THUR an w. Arnold,

Consumer-Purchasing Coopera-
tives, it was announced today
by Gil Calkins, Centennial di-
rector and Congress program
chairman.

and prosecution of monopolistic

tices while in the Justice De-

Judge Arnold served as assist

Govt Owned
Tools Sold
Below Value Y,

Thousands of government
owned machine tools which
could be used to produce badly
needed civilian goods may be
turned over to industry or to
spectators at prices far below
their actual value.
This was indicated last week
with announcement by Surplus
War Property Administration
that it had settled on a price
policy for sale of machine tools
no longer needed for war pro-
duction.
CIO leaders have warned re-
peatedly that quick disposal of
machine tools either now or at
the end of the war could pro-
vide field day for profiteers
and spectators. Without strin-
gent regulation of sale prices,
machines could be withheld
from civilian production for
months or even junked for
scrap.
Sale prices set by the govern
ment are much too low and con-
stitute an invitation to specu-
lators, according to expert labor
opinion. No allowance is made
in the prices set by SWPA for
the actual number of hours
machine has worked.
A 30-month old machine can
be bought for just 500 of the
original price. But this machine
could have been working either
one eight-hour shift a day or
three shift "a hour day.
The. governments pricing,
however, doesn't recognize that
machine that has worked only
eight hours a day is far less
worn and therefore more valu-
able thar the machine that has
been operated a greater num-
ber of hours a day.

work since 1941, as chairman
Of the Committee to Investi-
gate the National. Defense
Program. Truman has served in
the Senate for the past ten
years.
Major test given every candi-
date by AFL, CIO and rail
unions is on his voting record.
Truman's record is, on the
whole, a clear one.
On the anti-labor Smith-Con-
ly Act, Truman's batting
5erage was rs. There were
four important votes in the fight
on this bill, labor legislative
w or k RS say. On Senator
Wheeler's move to send the dan
gerous bill back to committee
in other words to bury 1t for
the time being-Truman voted
right. However, when the bull
finally came to vote, Truman
was one of these who joined the
poll-tax D De m o ra t coalition
with the Republican to push the
bill through. Like others, not
a large enough number to
change the decision, he relented
when Roosevelt vetoed the bill,
and on the final vote he was on
labor's side.
The CLOS voting record for
this session shows Truman voted
right in four out of seven in
stances. He was absent twice
when cloture was voted on the
poll tax filibuster, and when the
appropriation for the United
Nations Relief and Rehabilita-
ton Administration came up
He voted for overriding the
Presidents veto of the tax bill
last February, the one minus
mark on his record in the ClC
reports of important votes.

Livery.
Worker
Voter

The 1914 elections will be un-
like any other elections in our
lifetime. What will be decided
in these elections, will be de-
cided not just for four years,
not just until the next elections
come around. Our entire fu-
ture may be signed and sealed
by the outcome.
How quickly and completely
will we defeat the Axis? How
secure shall we make the peace?
Will we have jobs for all after
the war or sink into the quick
sands of another depression?
Will the rights of labor be up
held or will the trade unions
be smashed? Will housewives
be able to make ends meet?
Will the small farmers be al
lowed to live in peace or will
they be tractored out and auc-
toned out of existence? Will
small businessmen enjoy free
dom of competition and growth
or will the last breath of life be
choked out of them by trusts
and cartels? Will there be an
extension of civil liberties to all
classes and races or will there
be an increase in prejudice
against particular races or
creeds?
These and many other issues
will be decided in 1944-issues
that will affect our lives and
the lives of our children unto
the third generation.
How these issues are decided
will depend on the kind of
President and the kind of Con-
gress we elect this year.
If we want a President and a
Congress who will truly repre-
sent the interests of the people,
the voters must understand the
issues of this election, and the
voters must vote.
The best way to get all the
people to understand the issues
and to vote, is through well or
ganized Political Action Com
mittees in every community.
That means in the wards and
precincts where people live
and vote.
