INVASION RATIO IS
MILITARY SECRET

WASHINGTON. - (FP) - Silencing a
wave of speculation by native defeatists
and Axis p~ropagandists, the joint chiefs
of staff in an official statement said
the ratio Of American to British troops
in the coming invasion Of western
Europe is "a military secret"
In obvious reply to Sen. Hiram john
sons D.-Col.l report that the United
States would supply 1879 Of the invasion
troops, the chiefs said:
THE exact proportion Of American to
British troops, in joint operations to be
conducted in northwestern Europe, is a
military secret which the Germans would
like to know, but will not learn from
any official source in this country.
There has been disagreement between
American and British chiefs of staff on
that proportion, for the reason that both
countries are going to hit the common
enemy with everything available.
THE British, with one-third as large
a population as this country, already
have a considerably larger number Of
troops in the Mediterranean theater
than we. For other European operations
they are going to put in everything they
have got, and we are going to put in
everything we can get there"

Sees l65 BILLION
POSTWAR OUTPUT

NEW YORK-FP)-Here's an excel
lent example Of the kind Of screwy post
war thinking business is trying to kid
the people with.
In its January issue Fortune maya
zine says a s165 billion peacetime ma
tional output Ctwice as high as ever be-
fore) is possible, but there would still
be four million unemployed.
imagined Twice as much production
as ever beforehand four million work
ers walking the streets, their families
in want, or on relief.
Fortunes figures are based on a sur
vey conducted by Fortune magazine. 1t
estimates that the average wage will run
around $4,000 a year. This, incidentally,
is about twice What the average wage
was in 1888.
How is this going to be done? Wen,
says Fortune, not by a planned society.
None Of this New Deal stuff. Its pre-
requisites for this prosperity are: "a
Faith on the part of both soldiers and
civilians that the U. S. is a S165 billion
country; 90 individual willingness to
invest savings in private enterprise; 90
recognition by business that government
is benevolent and by government that
business is indispensable.
Allowance" Fortune adds blandly,
"has been made for four million unem-
ployed.'

BIS Index Ignores Quality
Changes Claims CLIO

WASHINGTON.-qP)-"Wha price
quality?" asks the CLIO Economic Out
look in its December issue, pointing to
failure of the Bureau Of Labor Standards
cost of living index to register deterior-
alton in quality of goods, notably cloth
ing.
Reproducing charts prepared by OPA's
standards division, the survey indicates
the hidden price increases happening in
the field of clothing.
1.-THE shoes pictured in the first chart
sell in 1943 for the same price they
commanded in 1941," the survey COM
ments. However, the materials out Of
which they have been constructed have
changed as indicated. resulting in a 800
decline in the s%erviceability of the shoes.
This cut in quality is equivalent to a
42q6 increase in price. But the dollar
price actually is reported unchanged"
Similar changes have occurred in the
quality Of women's coats and suits, TN
some cases the decline in quality is as
much as 800 in others it is nearer one
quarter" the survey reports. This de-
velopment in clothes could be found
duplicated in some forms of food, par
ticularly meat"
Referring to a special wLB committee
appointed by President Roosevelt to
scrutinize accuracy Of the BIS index,
the survey said: Necessity TO take into
account quality, in correction of the in
dex before applying it to wage cases by
the wLB, would seem to be too obvious
for serious question"

Labor in 81 Countries
Invited to World Congress

NEW Observation-Disclosures to
attend the world labor conference OPEN
ing in London June 5 have been sent
to union organizations in 81 countries
by the British Trades Union Congress,
Allied Labor News said here December
30. In the U. s., four groups have been
invited, the AFL, the CLIO, the railroad
br~otherhoods and the United Mine
Workers (unaffiliated).
TUGS general council has realized
that the fact Of inviting some organiza-
tons may be a stumbling block in respect
to other bodies, and perhaps may furnish
some Of them with objections to send
ing delegates to the conference" TUG
Publicity Director Herbert Tracey told
Allied Labor News.
Nevertheless, the council holds the
view very strongly that if world labor is
to be rebuilt it must be undertaken on
the broadest possible basis. That basis
can only be achieved if all bona fide
union movements are invited to come
together to see how it may be possible
to rise above their domestic and national
difficulties in the task of rebuilding the
international movement"
In the invitation, the TUG makes it
clear its feeling that this is a supreme
testing time in the history of the trade
union movement

st. Louis ALL Seeks
Working Unity With
CLIO and BrOtherhOOds

ST. LOUIS-FP)-m a significant
move toward statewide labor unity, the
st. Louis Central Trades & Labor
Council has petitioned the Missouri
Federation of Labor ito contact state
organizations and representatives of the
CLIO, railroad b%rotherhoods and farm
organizations, so that common action
can be taken on all issues that affect
labor and the farmers in vigorous prose-
cution of the war"
The action was taken in support of
the coming offensive guaranteed by the
Teheran conference. Hailing Teheran
as marking the beginning Of the end Of
fascism and the sealing Of that friend
ship between the great powers Of the
United Nations without which there
could be no hope for victory and lasting
peace the AFL council said:
1.-THE Three Powers Declaration assures
early launching of the offensive which
will mark the doom of Nazi military
might, The new stage Of the war will
call for greater unity, greater sacrifice
and more firm support Of u com
mander-in-chief.
NOW is the time to act for statewide
labor unity, the council told the state
body, pointing to the unity already
achieved through the United Lobor
Committee in this city, which includes
AFL, CLIO and railroad unions.

RETROACTIVE PAY
ORDERED BY WLB
FOR STEEL WORKERS

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Philip
Murray of the United Steel Workers
(CIO) called for uninterrupted produc-
ton in the nations steel mills December
27 shortly after the National War Labor
Board issued an order providing for
retroactive pay of any wage increases
arising from present wage negotiations.
Murray's statement, urging full OBJ
servance of the WLB order, marked the
end of sporadic walkouts by steel work
ers resulting from failure by the WLB
to act on the unions petition for retro
active pay.
WLB action came after President
Roosevelt in a telegram to Murray
pledged the wage adjustments would be
made retroactive, provided they were
within the scope Of the economic stabin-
cation program.
WLB labor and public members joined
in voting for CLIO board member John
Brophy's motion that the wage negotia-
tions should be lin accordance with the
telegram addressed by the President Of
the United States to certain parties
under date of December 26."
In a dissenting opinion, the four in-
dustry members, VINO formerly said they
We're opposed to retroactive pay, con-
tended WLB action was unnecessary in
light of the Presidents promise.
In addition to granting retroactive
pay, the WLB order extends the steel
workers contracts with 500 companies
during the length Of the present wage
conference. The unions contracts with
214 companies expired Christmas week
end, While the rest expire about Janu-
airy g.
The whole incident was touched off
when the board adjourned after labor
and industry members voted against a
proposal by WLB public members that
retroactive pay be awarded only if wage
increases We're within the Little Steel
formula.
The s%teelworkers are basing their de
mand for a tic hourly increase on the
need for breaking the Little Steel
formula. The Presidents telegram to
Murray leaves room for revision Of the
formula, however, since it states gener-
ally that wage adjustments must be
within the scope of existing laws and
executive orders.

u. S. TAKES over
RAILROADS TO
AVERT STRIKE

WASHINGTON-FP)-Last chance
of a nationwide rail strike was avoided
December % when President Roosevelt
seized the nations railroads and directed
Sec. of Wa Henry L. Stimson to operate
them.
The Presidents surprise move came
two hours after leaders of is %nonoperat-
ing unions joined two of the operating
unions in resembling their strike call for
December 30 and accepting the Presi-
dent as arbiter in their wage case. Still
threatening to strike at the moment of
the Presidents order were three operat-
ing unions-the Brotherhood of Firemen
and Enginemen, the Switchmen's Union
(AFL) and the Brotherhood of Con-
ductors.
In signing the order, the President
said: Il cannot wait until the last
moment OF take action to see that the
supplies to our fighting men are not in
terrupted. I am accordingly obliged to
take over at once temporary possession
and control Of the railroads to ensure
their %continude operation.
1.-THE government will expect every
railroad man to continue at his post Of
duty. The major military @offensives
now planned must not be delayed by the
interruption of vital transportation IA
cilities. If any employees Of the rail-
roads now strike, they will be striking
against the government Of the United
States"
The railroads were taken over under
an act of August 20, 1916, enabling War
department seizure Of the railroads to
expedite transportation during the first
World war. The Smith onnally war
disputes act was not invoked since it
specifically exempts railroad workers.
At the same time, the President an
nOunced his wage decision covering the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
the first two unions to agree to arbitra-
ton.
The two unions were awarded a &c
hourly increase. This includes a 4c
hourly increase awarded by a special
presidential board under the Little Steel
formula, an additional Sc hourly in
crease in lieu Of time and a half for
overtime after 40 hours a week, and one
weeks vacation with pay.
Original demand of the operating
unions was for a 800 Oh SO daily wage
increase.
Still undecided are the wage demands
of the 10000 incorporating railroad

Full Employment, Free
Enterprise Don't Go
Together. CED Expert SAYS

NEW YORK-FP)-"A job for every
person willing and able to work is abso-
lutely incompatible with the free enter
prise system" Treas. Marion B. Folsom
of the Eastman Kodak company said
December 20, in%augurating the Commit
tee for Economic Development postwar
plan.
1T seems as unpopular not to want
full employment as it would be not to
believe in mother love-" he continued,
but we have to be realistic"
Aim Of CED is to stave off government
postwar planning. Business itself, Fol
some declared, will take responsibility
for devising bold plans for reducing post
war unemployment to a bedrock mini
num-" But it was made clear that a
bedrock minimum, which to labor means
no unemployment at all, means con-
siderable Unemployment to business.
Through its field development division,
Of which Folsom is chairman, CED
plans to send experts into industrial
communities to analyze markets, pro-
duction capacities, help manufacturers
re-design products and plan for post
war r~econversion.
Cornerstone Of the plan, Of course, is
free enterprise. But free enterprise has
proved so inadequate in recent years
that it probably won't be enough.

CRAFTS AID
TEEN AGE PROJECT

The Teen-Age Canteen project which
the Butte Building Trades Council, Sill
yer Bow Trades and Labor Council and
Miners Union supported is now a happy
realization through the splendid coop
Grafton Of the skilled craftsmen of Butte
who donated their work in reconstruct
ing the premises.
While the Canteen, located at the
Grand hotel on West Broadway, is not
quite finished an official opening will be
announced soon according to Mrs. Matt
Christy, who has taken n Of the lead
ing parts in getting it started.
It is doubtful if the Canteen could
have been successfully launched if the
unions had not shown such a generous
interest in it. Among those giving their
services to help we're the Carpenters
Plasterers, Lathers, Plumbers, Electro
clans, Painters, Hod Carriers and Cen
al Laborers.
Officers of the Canteen organization
include Lowell johnson, Matt Christy
Mrs. Robert Kerr, Mrs. Charles Hewett
Mrs. M. R. Leslie, Rev. John Sheehan
Rev. David McKechnie, Mrs. Matt
, Christy, Miss G.. Granting and Richard
Donovan. Also serving on the committee
are Rudy Auto, Elda Jean Martin, Ell
Banvich and Andree Flemming.
The purpose of the Canteen is to pro
vide a recreation spot where boys anc
girls can go and dance and have a gooc
time without being compelled to go to

KAISER READY FOR
PEACE ECONOMY

OAKLAND, Calif.-FP)-Day after
President Roosevelt broadcast his sober
warning of the tough, destructive days
of war that lie ahead, Henry J. Kaiser,
west coast shipbuilding king, declared
here: 'The peak of Americas war pro-
duction is over. The time has come to
begin the gigantic task of shifting back
to peacetime economy Of efficiency in
production"
Need of the hour, Kaiser said, is to
"retire the national debt" at the same
time keeping "the present dollar volume
of production when peace comes" Best
way to do this, he said, is through a
transaction Osales) tax" Both trans
action and incomes taxes, he said, must
be sufficiently equitable so that labor
will not be uniustly taxed and the entire
preneur will keep his incentive for new
ventures"
Waving away suggestions that he
might become a presidential candidate
in 1914, Kaiser busted his neat blue suit,
said modestly: Lets not talk about
that. I'm a builder"
He then proposed building a great
credit risk pool with the banks, invest
ment trusts, insurance companies, the
government and labor unions putting
billions into it" to retire the national
debt. Such a pool, he said, is needed
because credit has been reduced three
or four times the amount necessary for
private business because Of the war"

SHIPYARDS WILL
REPLACE YOUNG MEN

WASHINGTON-The Maritime Com
mission has instructed shipyards to pre-
pare to replace young men in the lower
draft ages.
1T is clear" the commission said,
that starting with the first Of the new
year, it probably will be necessary to
Withdraw from industry young men Of
the lower draft ages and induct them
into the armed forces"
Shipyards we're urged to recruit more
women, men discharged from the armed
services, handicapped persons and mer-
chant marine workers over the draft
age.
The Maritime Commission statement
followed an announcement by Congress-
man Andrew May. of Kentucky, that
younger men may be called first for in
duction. Selective service officials con-
fined their comment merely to stating
that such a policy was being considered.
AS part Of a nationwide program for
recruiting requirements, the commission

1890 -
, Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, de-
clared that the American people will
be shocked" when the profits already
made on war contracts are disclosed.
Under Secretary of War Robert P.
Patterson asserted that some of the en-
ployers who "holler the loudbst" for
changes in the renegotiation law are
making as much as so per cent net work
profits.
Senator Walsh made it clear he Will
oppose the proposed changes in the re-
negotiation section when the tax bill
comes up before the Senate for debate.
He said:
"In my opinion, there will never be
another period more favorable for OBJ
tanning from the taxpayers a larger con-
tribution to the costs if the a
1.-THE renegotiation law is, to be sure,
arbitrary and only justified in time of
war. But so is the drafting Of human
life.
we owe it to our fighting forces to
eliminate as far as humanity possible
excessive war profits, as well as to re-
move the possibility of a new crop Of
war profiteers. Profits outside Of what
are reasonable and legitimate and neces-
sary to prevent impairment of private
industry after the war, are indefensible.
when the record if profit n.aking Oh
war contracts is disclosed, the American
people will, in my opinion, be shocked"
Secretary Patterson declared that
profiteering in war industries is still
widespread, despite enforcement of the
renegotiation privisions.
we are doing our best to prevent
profiteering, - he said.
AS a result Of many complaints to
Congress from industry, the wal depart
ment's contract renegotiation program
was investigated by three different con-
gressional committees, Mr.. Patterson
said, and in al three "they came to
the conclusion we we're doing a good,
fair job and there was nothing to the
complaints"
MI. Patterson acknowledged that the
r-enegotiation contract board may have
permitted industries generally to make
too much money on their war contracts.
He conceded there was a possibility of
future censure from Congress on this.
Mr.. Patterson, discussing the case Of
the Thinker Detroit Axle Co., said a new
contract was in process Of negotiation.
He said that Willard F.. Rockwell, Tim
ken official, had charged that the Wal
department was threatening to cancel a
Timken contract with the Ordnance de-
partment.
Mr.. Patterson explained that the com
pany had made an annual average Of
$4,000 600 in profits. IN 1912, he said,
the company had income profit before
taxes which was nearly twenty times
the average annual profits from 1899 to
1910, which represented a 80 per cent
profits mark-up on volume OF sales, and
that after taxes-and before %renegotia-
tion-it made about $1,000 900, which,
Mr.. Patterson said, represented two and
one-half times its profits on average
earlier years afetr taxes and a 80 per
cent profit on the net book worth Of
the company.
"That showed" Mr.. Patterson said,
that he RockwelD had not been
robbed"
