WASHINGTON LABOR OFFICIAL
SPEAKS TO SILVER BOW TRADES
AND LABOR COUNCIL

In a talk before members and guests
of the Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council held at Carpenters hall at 8
o. M. Sept. 10. Glenn r.. Atkinson,
iaison officer for the Railroad Labor
organization. in Washington, d. c.,
stated labor's position as it relates to
the problem of reconyersion.
Mr.. Atkinson began his talk by point
ing out that high WPB Army officials
have indicated that the moment Ger
many c%apitulates there will be a 40 PEI
cent cut in war production.
Many war workers will want to con
tinue working. Thus there will be many
more workers wanting jobs, so the prob
lem will be to provide jobs for all. MI
Atkinson stated that if manufacturer
are allowed to set prices too high it vii
directly affect labor by reducing tn
number of possible Jobs. High employ
ment can only be achieved by settin
prices low. which in turn will assist mas
purchasing, mass production and his
levels Of employment. Prices Of good
have definite responsibility to all tn
, people of the nation.
Manufacturers may ask for an ~
y crease i'm prices alleging higher cost
and the people should know that actual
Iv costs have not gone up. ANY sligh
increase i'm labor costs have been NOR
than offset by tremendous t~echnologic,
advances made in the last two yeal
under the impetus of the war cons6
uentlv OPA's policy is more than fai
Actually prices could even be lowered
some cases.
Mr. Atkinson stated the Governmei
is now spending 90 billion dollars a yea
% This is a higher sum than The entil
national income Of any previous yea
in the nations history. Since more tina
40 per cent Of the price rise during til
first World War occurred AFTER TIL
ARMIsTICE it means that the matte
is now facing its most critical initiation
arv period. and Labor must be ready
do it's part in seeing that such infla5l'
does not occur this time.
People will never again be contel
with unemployment, bread lines al
e, doles. They see no reason for a su
sistencg standard Of living in a nati'
m oapable of producing more than TIM
as Labor insists on jobs and a full standa
of living. Since the unions numb
d. more than IS million and represeI
rs about As million people it has the pow
ne tn do much. Labor must insist that
Wy dustry take small margins Of profit a
~ keep prices down.
