When War Needs End

BOSTON, Oct. 81 (LPA-
Secretary of Labor Perkins told
the Community Church forum
here that there were three mil
lion workers who, after the war,
"must be pushed off the labor
market"
Fear of a "jobless era" after
the war is an "overshadowfng
handicap to improved social
conditions" she said, and added
that eight or nine million more
Jobs must be available after the
war than there were in 1910.

The Gannett Philosophy
The Gannett philosophy is
trumepted nationwide by Rum
ely and Samuel Pettingill, rene
gade Democratic Congressman
who authors most of the Com
mittee's literature. Both men
conveniently visited Texas at
the time of the recent Demo
Gratis split, and it is generally
known they worked with the
Pew disciples and Sen. Lee
(Pappy) O'Daniel in aggravat;
ing the rupture.
Minority rule - such as the
Republican Party is seeking to
achieve through the blocking of
registration-is a Gannett aim.
In one of the more recent
pamphlets this succint sentence
appears. GA minority group
which knows what it wants and
how to get it may send a human
rubber stamp to Congress al
though the minority may num-
ber less than five per cent of
our population" Nice talk for
a Dewey backer.
Gannett On Labor
Where does Gannett stand on
labor? A recent letter signed by
Committee member Sumner
Gerard attacked the CIO Pol
itical Action Committee, stating
Never has there been such a
threat to orderly, constitutional
government" The Gannett group
is presently seeking the reduc-
ton of the federal income tax to
25 per cent minimum, direct
aid to the controlling industrial
interests of America, and his
proposal has been already ap-
proved by IA state legislatures.
He has also united with other
reactionary groups in fighting
the Wagner Murray Gingell
Bill, a must" for labor in the
postwar period.
But even more important,
Gannett has certain special
plans for the Wagner Act, cor
nerstone of labor's rights. Here's
his opinion on that piece of
legislation.
''The Wagner Labor Relations
Acts has brought about compul-
sorry acceptance of trade union
ism in every case where the
employees vote for it. But the
one-sided argument has done
much to develop i'll feeling rath-
er than confidence and friendly
relations. Remove those sections
of the Wagner Act which pro-
mote strife, prolong disturb
ances and work havoc with in
dustry." All of this is merely a
disguise for junking the Wagner
Act.
Any comment, Mr.. Dewey?

Food For
Thought
BY Eleanor Fowler
Sec'y. Treas. Congress of
Women Auxiliaries- -CIO


thought for consumers in the
Voting Record on Consumer
Issues" just put out in Wash
ington by the Consumer
Clearing House. 1t shows the
House votes of each Congress
man on five clear consumer is
sues during the past two years.
If you total up all the Con-
gressmen who voted for the in
terest of the consumer on each
of those five votes you will find
there are 80. If you add to
that Congressman who were alb
sent on one or two important
consumer votes, but who voted
right when they were present,
you get a grand total of ITO
friends of the consumer in the
House.
Of that 10, four are Republi-
cans, one is American Labor
Party, los are Democrats.
In the Senate the picture is
even worse. On the eight issues
listed in the chart, only three
Senators voted consistently for
the consumer. Four others voted
right two or three times and
were absent for all the other
votes. If you add to those all
tn Senators who only voted
against the consumer once or
twice, you got total of Is Sen
ators who favor consumer in
terests three-quarters of the
time or more. All of those are
Democrats.
Two Conclusions
There are two conclusions to
be drawn from this voting rec
ord The first is that the Re-
publican leadership in Congress
does not have the interest Of
consumers at heart. Senators
Taft (Ohio) and White (Maine)
voted right on two of the eight
issues. Wherry (Nebraska) voted
against the consumer every
time. Vandenberg (Michigan)
was half right. Joe Martin (Mas-
sachusetts), House Republican
leader, voted against the con-
sumer four times out of five.
All.of these men are support
ing Dewey.
But there's more to protecting
consumer interests than elect
ing the right president. Only
about a quarter of our present
congressman and less than
quarter of our Senators can be
called friends of the consumer.
AS the introduction to the
Clearing House voting record
says:
During the past two years,
legislation of vital interest to
consumers has followed a thorny
path through Congress. The
Emergency Price Control Act
was threatened with enough in
flationary amendments to render
it practically ineffective. Food
subsidies did not pass through
Congress until spurred by Pres
idential vetoeS of anti-subsidy
legislation. Measures designed to
protect consumers against hid
den price rises through quality
deterioration have been blocked
altogether.
"Thc importance of measures
to combat initiation and to in
sure fair dealing to consumers
will be as great in the period
of adjustment which lies ahead
as it has been under the war
time conditios of the past two
years"
Let's hope that the consumers
who receive this voting record
will act quickly on the con-
clusions they draw from it. Let's
h pc they'll mobilize their
friends and neighbors to 60 TO
the polls November z and see to
it that we get Congress start
ing next January that will vote
right on consumer issues.

Army Chief Rebukes
Smearing Of Labor

Army officials, anonymous" or
otherwise, who have resorted to
"smears" of labor lately, do not nee
essarily speak for all their associates.
That was indicated this week when
Brigadier General Albert ]. Brown
ing, director of purchases for the War
Department, paid tribute to labor for
a miraculous job we'll DONE"
Browning declared the army is
deeply grateful for the help, cooper
alton and tireless effort of both labor
and management.
Never before in the history of the
world have such industrial and mill
tary problems been faced and solved
as have been in the case of this coun-
try before and since Pearl Harbor. "
he said
Workers have delivered fantastic
quantities of superior weapons neces-
sary to win this war with minimum
loss of American soldiers" Browning
pointed out.
The same kind of labor manage
ment cooperation that made the huge
production achievement possible should
be continued to solve the problem of
tapering off output once victory is
won, he added

A DECENT JOB

Recently, in a radio broadcast.
a worker was asked: ''What do you
want most after the war is over?"
He Immediately replied: "A decent
job and a small house just outside
of town."
In this answer you will find the
key to all of organized labOr's ac-
tivities, aspirations, and detectives.
The militancy, or sO-called ''radi-
caIism'' of American working men
and women is based on the age-old
quest for security. What better
guarantee do we have for a sound
and progressive future for the Uni.
ted States?
The ALL. has just announced
that labor's No. / postwar objec-
tive i'm the domestic field is "A
Decent Job for Everyone. The
Federation is fighting and will con.
tinue to fight-hard- jobs for
all after victory. If full employ.
ment can be attained in our
country in time of war, full en-
ployment can also be attained in
time of peace.
Americans after this war will
not be satisfied with the DOLE" the
ALL. says. ssThey will not be con.
tent to sell apples on street cor
ners.
ssThey will want jobs-real jobs

Cleveland Cheers
Fourth Term Call

Friendly Congress

Cleveland rushed ahead in labor's
cross-country march for political ac-
ton when 400 union leaders, rep
resenting all AFL and Go local
unions and railroad brotherhood
lodges, cheered a call for a fourth
term for President Roosevelt
A working conference of Labor's
Joint Committee for Political Ac-
ton gave unanimous ovation to
Sec.-Treas. Phil Hannah of the
Ohio Federation of Labor as he
declared: ''The way to bring the
war to successful conclusion and
to win the peace to follow is by
reelection of Franklin ID. Roosevelt
for fourth term and a friendly
Congress to support him."
The unity achieved in Cleveland
must serve as 'an example for every
city in the state and for the entire
nation" he said, expressing regret
over the divisions that still exist in
the labor movement. More is the
pity that we do not have organic
unity of labor in this time of trial"
the ONO ALL leader said, asserting
that the workers are ready for such
unity and hope it will be achieved il
the near future
The conference was called by
the committees executive board to
set up more representative gen.
eral committee of so members,
each directly representing the
major locals of the AFL, CIO and
railroad brotherhoods and every
ward club of Labor's Joint Conn
mittee.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT SUFFERING?

Did you ever stop to think about the suffering of the ordi- nary man and woman and child in the conquered countries of Eu- rope? Have you ever, just for a moment, thought of the Hell they have gone through. during the years they were being tortured and starved and mistreated by Hitler's gang of barbarians?
 Did you ever stop to think that even when our own sons and brothers were liberating these un- fortunate people, that very lib- eration was bringing to them un- speakable agony and suffering. That with every bomb dropped on the cities of Holland and Bel gium and Denmark and Greece, there were fresh wounds and maimed legs and sightless eyes?
 Have you stopped to think that after our boys had marched in and liberated a people from slav- cry, there was still a lack of al- most every single thing consider ed necessary for life? A lack of medicine and of food and of clothing? These things do not grow in the wake of an advanc- ing army, even of an army of freedom. They must be supplied by those who do have and who are generous enough to give, gen. erous enough to be able to find the midst of plenty, thought for those who are in need.
 You have not had to suffer, you will not be called upon to suffer in this war but you are called upon to make a small sacrifice to help those who have suffered

United States to turn more and more of our industrial system over to government. In spite of protests from industrialists who are in a position to know the differ ence in efficiency between private and government plants there are millions of our people who lean to- ward still greater sociali- zation of business. Yet any intelligent study of prob lems involved should prove the desirability of contin- uing our system of private enterprise.
 We have built Tn this country a great economy and a highly successful so- cial system through use of the profit motive: Under government this motive is entirely lost. We do not doubt a moment that mone- tary reward is the only force in our economic and social advance. Certainly it is too important a force to, eliminate. Our own exper- fence should teach us that. The New South Wales will lead to that conclusion (Juneau Empire).

GOVERNMENT PRODUCTION

A study has recently been completed in New South Wales which adds new evidence to the al- ready strong contention that industry under private management is more eff cient than industry under government control. Work men in government-owned factories in New South Wales were unable to meet production records of en- ployees in private industry by an average of $208 per capita a year. In other words each employee. un- der political employment lost $208 of his productive potential each 12 months.
