Washington, D. C.-AFL President |
William Green urged Congress to ex-
tend the Emergency Price Control Act
for two years to protect consumers
from war profiteering and postwar
imitation.
Appearing before the Senate Com
mittee on Banking and Currency, Mr..
Green warned of a postwar danger
zone" in which prices for the necessi-
ties of life may shoot sky-high, as
after the last world war, unless strict
Government controls are enforced.
Unless this is done, he said, Ameri-
can workers now investing a large
part of their savings in War Bonds
will not receive full value, dollar for
dollar, when the war ends and the
bonds are redeemed.
Mr.. Green offered the following
program for enactment:
1-Extension of the Price Control
Act without change for two years
after the war.
Congressional support of in
creased appropriation for effective en-
forcement of price and rent control.
3-Provision of subsidies essential
to continued price stability of key cost
of living commodities.
"A restoration of the relation
ships between prices and wages which
existed September Is, 1912, as abso-
lutely essential to make the law work
equitably and build the morale of
American workers to the highest de-
gree of eficienc.
The AFL chief continued:
''The issue before Congress involv-
ing the future of price control IS now
drawn Gigantic pressures are at
work to secure the emasculatlon OF
price control and to permit wartime
profit gains through price increases at
| the expense of consumers-workers in
| industry and trade, white collar work
ers, farm workers and wives and de-
! pendents of soldiers at the front.
"The drive against continued price
control does not take the form of open
opposition to the price control itself.
Every worker, every housewife, every
soldiers wife is so deeply convinced
that price control is necessary to pro-
tect the budget on which rests their
livelihood that no enemy of price con-
troll has dared come out and attack it
openly.
Instead, the drive is On to make
price control unavoidable and inef-
fectiye through piecemeal technical
changes, complicated enough to es-
cape the understanding of the ordin-
ary man on the street. Ineffective
price control is worse than no price
control at all. Price control which re-
mains on the books but permits creep
ing price increases, or price control
which is impossible of enforcement
and understanding by every house
wife and every consumer, would be
nothing short of gigantic fraud.
cit has been urged that price con-
troll would be broken up among a

Scattered Stocks Up,

NEW YORK, Oct. l6.-Scattered
stocks managed to work UP a little
further recovery steam today, but
market leaders generally did virtual
ly nothing or stumbled into mild
losses.
Potential buyers seemed to hesi-
tate, partly because of the fact the
averages were in the vicinity of their
years highs of last July where SELL
ing had stemmed the tide. Gus
toners also held alOof to await i'm
portant war news, including pos
sible big. naval battle in the Far Pa
|cif1c, and more definite election in
dications at home. Special situa-
tions such as dividends and earn
ings prospects aided individual Is
sues, but most of these failed to get
far in front.
A few steels, rails and preferred
industrials did fairly well at the
start. The direction then turned
foggy as profit cashing stalled the
utilities. Near closing prices were
well mixed. Dealings were negligible
throughout, transfers running to
around $4,000 shares.
Occasional improvement was reg
istered for Allegheny preferred

caused cancellations in the sheet

producers expect production to be
sustained at least until after the

In spite of the easing in hot
rolled sheets, cold-rolled deliveries
show little change. Galvanized
sheets are becoming steadily tighter

available for first quarter. Most

Division Of Tax Sources
Urged by Sears Official
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-"Complete
separation" of revenue sources of
Federal, State. and local govern
ments was advocated today by Ar
thur r. Kaiser, general manager of
Sears, Roebuck tax department, as a
means of. avoiding duplicating tax
alton.
In an address prepared for deliv-
cry to the City Club, the mail order
executive asserted: II do not believe
that fiscal order can be restored un-
less The principle of assigning to
each level of Government certain
particular sources of revenue is
adopted"
He offered a three-point plan to
accomplish this end. Under it local
governments would use property
taxes together with a small portion
of the motor fuel levy for their oper-
ations; the State governments would
depend on gross income tax, occu-
pational licenses, a franchise tax on
capital, and the remaining portion
of the motor fuel tax as well as the
vehicle license revenue.
The Federal Government, Mr..
Kaiser said, would utilize excises on
tobacco and alcohol, severance taxes,
inheritance and income taxes, and
the net income tax.
