Wards Off Blow Aimed at
Nation Workers
Senator Ia Toilette Defeats Effort to Cripple Job
Insurance System by Withholding Funds
for Administration

A crippling blow aimed at the So
cial Security system was warded off
by the Senate, and for that the
lions share of credit goes to Sem
ator Robert M. La Toilette, Jr.,
prog, Wis.,
The Senate vas about to approve
a $40, 000,0 90 cut in funds for admin
nistering the unemployment insur-
ance system, when Young Bob
took the floor and warned that if
the slash was allowed to stand it
would seriously impair protection
on which millions of workers are
relying for postwar security.
The House previously 'okayed''
the reduction on recommendation
of its conservative Appropriations
Committee, and the Senate Appro-
priations Committee has gone along
without looking closely into the
matter.
Worst Time to 'EcOnOmize"
Of all times, La toilette insisted,
this was the worst in which to
weaken the only buIwark that
stands between the workers and
privation.
Commenting on young Bob's''
position, Senator Clyde M. Reed
(Rep., Kans.) pointed out that the
Federal government is allowed to
retain three-tenths of l per cent for
collecting job insurance taxes and

LABOR NOTES

Phil Murray's plans for the expan-
sion of the steel union is proceed
ing. The Steel Workers have alb
sorbed the Aluminium Workers;
they already have about $4,000
men who normally would be in the
Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers,
and r preparing to absorb that
union and possibly the Shipyard
Workers. The last convention also
saw the revival of talk about mer-
ger with the United Auto Workers.
The background to this expansion
is Murray's fears of a postwar de-
flation in union membership. He
wants to build, therefore, a power
full Metal Production Union which
would have strength and money.
Steel people are being placed in
key CIC regional offices over the
country, and it seems likely that
Phil Murray will move into more
active control of the Political Ac-
ton Committee -. There is talk in
auto union circles that George Adj
des is seeking to drop the Commun-
lists out of his caucus, preparatory
to a peace talk" with Walter
Reuther. Rumors of Adde's drop
ping the Communists has been cur
rent for some time, but he never
took the step. The story is given
more credence now because of the
new Communist line, which is en-
~barrassing the most CLIO leaders

Plans to Preserve Peace Are Mild

Those who expected a sharp clash between President Roosevelt and
his Republican opponents over postwar peace plans discover they are
not good guessers.
IF. D." has made public a tentative draft of his plan. It's very mild
and follows the lines of the old League of Nations. The big Four"-the
United States, Britain, Russia and China-would be supreme, but the
little nations will be given a voice, If a war starts somewhere, the big
Four" could intervene, but they must be unanimous.
Probably that is as far as our Allies will care to GO, but n will
contend that such a plan will lend wars"
The Republicans have drafted a somewhat similar scheme. They
speak of collaborating" with other nations to preserve peace. But they
are close to Mr.. Roosevelts ideas.
There are plenty of other plans, but apparently the much-discussed
schemes for al international police force and for Union Now" of all
the Engish-speaking nations, are n o longer receiving serious consider
alton.
It's easy to figure out a lovely peace plan o paper, but it isn't easy
to make it work. That's something those of us who hate war and love
peace should endeavor to keep in mind-Labor.

Endorsed by Labor

Today 2R million families in the
U. S. do three quarters of a billion
dollars worth of business a year
through their consumer cooperat-
ives. Most of these coops were
started by farmers and white collar
and professionl people, but 100 CO.
OPP stores and service stations and a
couple of hundred credit unions
have been organized by union men.
The AFL, CLIO and railroad brother
hoods have all endorsed cooperat-
ives and the United Auto Workers
have set up its own consumer divi-
sion. One of its jobs is to help or
ganize c~ooperatives.
The first hundred years of the CO.
operative movement were the hard
est. AS the co-ops swung into their
second century millions more will
join or organize their own co-ops
as part of this growing peoples bu-
siness' in which the consumer
members own and run their own
enterprises and reap the advantage
of non-profit business.

Competitors forced manufactur-
ers to refuse to supply the co-ops
so the co-ops started factories of
their own. Oil interests then threat

co-ops built and bought refineries,
built pipelines and drilled their

The co-ops have come through
trial by fire-100 years of it.
On Dec. 81 it will be 100 years
since % weavers in the textile town
of Rochdale, England, opened a
drab little store onToad Lane. Com
peting merchants hired some of the

to stand outside and jeer as the CO.
op members came in to buy their

In the 100 years that have fol-

Trusts and combines have tried
to kill the co-ops by price wars =
the consumer wners calmly
