GREEN, MURRAY
PLEDGE YEAR OF
SUPREME EFFORT

NEW YORK-FP)-Victory in 194z'
is labor's major hope for the New Year,
AFL Pres. William Green and CIO Pres.
Philip Murray declared in the Jan. IL
issue of Look magazine, pledging a year
Of supreme effort from labor to make the
hope come true.
Green said: Labor is determined TO
do its utmost to speed this objective by
breaking all previous records. When vic
tory comes, American labor will insist
that an international organization Of
nations Of goodwill be established to
maintain the peace"
Pressing task Of the year will be plan
ming for peace production to meet do
nestle and world rehabilitation needs
and to provide full employment at de-
cent wages" Green declared, adding:
Labor is confident that industry, the
trade unions, agriculture and the gov
eminent, operating under a free enter
prise system, will recognize these facts
and act on them in 1914"
Labor will strain itself to the limit
so not one needless drop of blood may
be shed in making victory speedy, final,
complete" Murray said. But, he went
on, "a stable home front is also neces-
sary for victory. Labor will therefore
insist on restoring the balance destroyed
by frozen wages and mounting living
costs. It will demand reasonable wage
adjustments and a halt to initiation
through vigorous price control, overall
rationing and a tax policy that will raise
the funds for victory from high incomes
and super-profits and not from the food
budgets of workers"
1874 will witness the greatest ad-

KIDDIES' CLOTHES
NOW IN LIMELICHT

HELENA, Jan. 5-Increased produc-
ton of infants and children's clothing
in 1914, was announced today by B. l..
McFerran, WPB analys there.

yarns will be allocated to producers of
infants and children's apparel-includ-
ing outwear and hosiery to insure ade-
quate output of specific items in the
first quarter of 1914 and also during
succeeding quarters. Mr.. McFerran
stated, however, that such goods will not
arrive on retail counters until February
and March.
Production Of low-cost goods Of dur
able quality will be stressed, including
cotton fabrics such as b~roadoloth, print
cloth, flannelettes, denim, poplins and
other constructions. These materials
will be set aside for exclusive use in the
manufacture of kiddies' clothing. 2.00O,-
900 dozen Of the items viii be made in

creasing the supplies Of essential chill
dren's and infants apparel available in
retail stores during February and March
MIR. McFerran pointed out.

THREE RAIL UNIONS
BLAME GOVERNMENT
in WAGE DISPUTE

WASHINGTON r. (FP) r. Leaders of
three operating railroad unions and
spokesman for the administration were
hurting charges of bad faith at each
other December 80 with prospects for an
early settlement of the wage dispute at
a low point.
A statement signed by Pres. D. B.
Robertson of the Brotherhood Of Loco
motive Firemen and Enginemen, Pres.
Harry W. Fraser of order of Railway
Conductors, and Pres. T. G. Cashen OF
the s%witchmen's Union (AFL), accused
the government Of changing the rules
in the middle of the game"
we are firmly convinced" they said
chat if the administration had kept its
hands off and had permitted the rail
unions to proceed under the Railway
Labor Act, we could have reached a
satisfactory settlement with our en-
ployers without stopping work for a
single day and without causing the
slightest bitterness"
Earlier the War department accused
Robertson and Fraser of having misled
the government into thinking they had
cancelled their unions strike, set for
December 80, When actually they had
just postponed it for the length Of fed
eral operation Of the roads.
In reply, the two union leaders SAID
they had no authority to cancel the
strike which had been authorized by the
membership as long as the dispute re-
manned unsettled.
In their joint statement issued a few
hours later, the three unions, which

The programs are broadcast Sunday
afternoons at 3 o'clock, an ideal time
for this type of family educational pro
gram.
Outstanding programs broadcast to
date by the groups include an analysis
of the sales tax proposal on their No
vember 2lst broadcast and a discussion
of consumer subsidies on Sunday. De-
cember 26th.
Public reaction to the program is ex-
cellent according to reports from Great
Falls with a number of operators Of small
business establishments commencing the
participant in the program for their
scholarly and objective presentation Of
the effects Of a sales tax on small in
dependent business establishments.
John Evanko, Jr., secretary of the
Cascade Assembly brought out very
clearly the picture of what business
would benefit in his statement: "The
sales tax gives a bounty to large in
tegrated industries to the disadvantage
of small industrial units. To the extent
that large |integrated concerns decrease
their intermediary purchases in the
process of converting raw materials into
consumers goods, they will have a dis
tinct advantage over small independent
businesses. The sales tax will thus en-
courage vertical and horizontal combina-
lions of industry and SO crowd out the
small competitive producers. The bur-
den of a sales tax will ultimately be
shifted to the consumer, and so fall most
heavily on the mass of population hay
ing small moderate incomes. The sales
tax is a nuisance to the local merchant
It is cumbersome. 1t makes the mer-
chant a tax collector"
In answer to a question from Bruce
steinmetz as to the attitude of the
farmers and the effect on the farmer
group of the sales tax, Don Chapman,
Farmer Union president, stated: ANY
farmer who has made a study Of tax
alton is absolutely opposed to the sales
tax. To the farmer, a sales tax is an
income tax in reverse. It is a tax based
on inability to resist and not on the
ability to pay. No tax could be more
vicious and unfair"
The solution of the Farmer-Labor
group for obtaining additional revenue
and hopping up the "inflationary gap
was stated by Bruce Steinmetz, presl-
dent of the Cascade Assembly: Get
the tax from comfortable and large i'll
comes, unprecedented corporate profits
and larger estates. The tax must come
from those with incomes over $4,000
Commerce department figures show that
while the 1913 Initiation gap Of so
called excess spending power was 38
billion dollars, actually SO billion dollars
of this was taken up by savings and
only two billion dollars was left to in
crease prices.
When we have that example Of volun-
tary initiation control through savings
what possible excuse can there be for
crushing the workers with a sales tax
on the pretext that it is needed to pre-
vent initiation"
Discuss Subsidy Program
In their discussion Of the subsidy pro-
gram the group brought out the impli-
cations of the Presidents sterilization
program for every group in our national
economy and showed very clearly that
it was the large packers of food and
meat who we're conducting an under
cover campaign to confuse and bewilder
people as to the merits of consumer
subsidies. They also brought out the
