"Only hysteria entertains the idea that

Dulles was q bum prophet. FDR was .

Dulles, Dewey and Hoover would sell us out

Your Job and Your Poy EnveIop

Today 55 million workers are employed,
and IL million are In the armed forces.
Today the gross national product is $1ss
billion.
We must have o national program If we
are to keep full employment and ut least
present national income, while the boys are
coming home, and after the war.
Ten Senators, led by Murray, Kilgore and
Truman had bill (Senate Bill 2061) to do
Just that: help the USA carry out national
program. This bill was killed in the Senate by
II Republicans and ~ Poll-Tax Democrats.
FROM WAR TO PEACE
When war production ends, many people
will have to shift jobs. Some will be unem-
ployed for short periods some for long. How
many will be unemployed, and for how long,
depends upon YOU upon CONGRESS, and
upon WHO is PRESIDENT.
Labor, Industry and the Farmers can only
work out a healthy, prosperous postwar
world If Congress and the President lend o
hand. But majority of Congress Is lying
down on the job.
The war has shown that Americas capacity
to produce Is almost unlimited, Is far more
than anything known before the war. To har-
ness 1t we need a program.
If, without program, we have large scale
unemployment as we move from war to peace,
The CIO news., 1944-09-18

1t will be hard to get back to present levels. We
must keep the levels we have now.
To maintain purchasing power, we need
national standard Of emergency unemploy-
ment benefits. Families must eat. Rent must
be paid.
What Congressional Republicans and
POll-Tax Democrats did;
Voted 40 to 25 In the Senate to refuse
to provide for any planning In the postwar
period. And In the House they refused to
stand up and be counted ON the issue, voted
1t down by voice vote.
Refused to provide uniform national
standards Of unemployment benefits. Left
the entire matter to each State: Alabama
SIS maximum, $l4 average, SO minimum per
week, Mississippi SIS maximum $11.5O av-
erage; South Dakota SIS maximum, $12
average.
Refuse to provide transportation from
war jobs to homes or peace-time jobs.
Refused to include 35OO,OOO Federal
employees (including arsenals, Navy Yards
and powder plants) merchant seamen, wOrlx-
ers in small shops.
WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT 1T
Elect Congressman who will plan to pre-
vent depression even worse than In 1882.
Your future job and size of your pay en-
velope depend upon planning for full employ
ment and high level of national income.
The CIO news., 1944-09-18

AT A UAW-CIO convention, any
~ thing can happen-and almost
everything does.
At other conventions, you can
make a fair guess as to what will
happen, by studying the recom-
mendations of the executive Off
GERS ard the relative strength OF
administrative and opposition
forces.
Since most delegates thus know
the lay of the land, they pay little
attention to proposals that lack
substantial backins--and there are
few convention surprises.
But at UAW-CIO conventions,
the thousands Of delegates and
visitors include advocates OF
everything under the sun. CIR
culate among them and you will
hea. dozens Of different versions
of what is going to happen.
In this electric atmosphere, cau-
cuses grow, decline or change their
plans almost from hour TO hour
and few concede defeat for their
net projects until the final vote.
The slogan. of these most vocal
and self-assured delegates seems
TO be-"to the UAW-CIo, all things
are possible"
There are grounds for this self
assurance in the fact that the
UAW-CIO has done the impossible
time and again.
Consider the progress report
ed to the Grand Rapids conven-
tjon. SOO,0OO new members en-
rolled In . single year. An
average monthly dues-paying
membership of 1851 .455 In an in-
dustry where eight years ago
there were only few thousand
Mnionists.
The lively democracy of this
union is evident not only In its
constitution and procedures, but
also In the fact that Its members
have chosen 1t In the most demo-
cratic fashion possible, by secret
ballot in plant elections.
In the past year, the UAW-CIo
has won 297 out Of Ala Labor
Board elections; and since July /.
1889, out of s57,534 votes cast, ST.
971 workers have voted for the
UAW-CIO.
Not only has the UAW-ClO
made miraculous strides In organ
izing and improving conditions,
but II has also pioneered in the
widest variety OF educational, cul-
tural, political, legislative, consum-
ers, housing, health, recreational,
community and other activities.
A hall of exhibits, as big as the
convention hall itself, was devot-
ed to depicting a mere cross
section of the multifarious activ-
tiles OF this extraordinary union.

ports, listening to the proceedings,
one got the impression of a union
whose horizons are as wide as so
ciety and life itself, union that
considers no door closed to 1t and
nothing impossible that will make
this q happier world.
There are other reasons why
UAW-CIO conventions are so ex-
citing and seemingly 80 unpredict-
able.
They have more delegates than
other unions-as many as 2,3O0
at Grand Rapids. So each session
has the proportions and some
thing of the atmosphere Of o
mass meeting.
Yet under the patient and con-
siderate craftsmanship Of Pres. r.
J. Thomas, there is an extraordi-
nary degree Of rsnk-and-file par
ticipation In debate and the most
painstaking adherence to demo-
cratic procedure.
Another reason Is the very fac
tionalism which has come close 70
wrecking the union at times.
The opposing factions are usti-
ally SO evenly divided that COM
paratIvely few votes can throw
the balance Of power In either
direction.
Constant maneuverings to win
the in-between votes help to create
the feeling that every proposition
has a chance and that nothing 10
impossible at q UAW-CIO conven-
tion.
There ere dangers, Of course, in
all the outstanding characteristics
of UAW-CIO conventions.
Self-assurance can become RASH
ness, high spirits can lead to dis
order and indiscipline, rank-and-
file assertiveness can be distorted
into mob psychology, close divl-
sions of opinion on policy and cam
didates can degenerate into un-
principlcd factionalism, and dis
ruptive elements can sometimes
play havoc by pushing healthy Inn
pulses In an unhealthy direction.
Such dangers are inherent in all
democracy. but they are also sub
ject TO democratic control.
Though a hostile press may ex-
aggerate dissension and give un-
due weight to the clamor Of
unrepresentative nn:norities, the
most amazing fact about this
most amazing union Is it's basic
strength and unity of purpose.
Not a voice was raised or a vote
cast against Roosevelt or for Dew
ey. On every major issue Of pro-
gressive labor, social and political
policy, the UAW-CIO delegates
were almost unanimous. And even
on the much-touted moves to re-
scind the no-strike pledge. the
patriotic good sense of the mem
bership prevailed overwhelmingly
In the final vote.

Dispute between students of Will

then it was so unproductive that
they went down, S to 2.
Dutch Leonard, who opened fire
for the Mats, took a sound pasting
in his second round on the hill when
the Sox with six safeties got four

nine hits before giving way to Milo
