LETTER
To C. l. JOE

Dear Joe:
The path from the GiIa, any other
American River, to the heart of the enemy,
is, as we'll you know, strewn with toll,
suffering sorrow, privations. And the
comrades you left behind in the hallowed
fields Of crosses, gIistenine white, will
oft draw from you soldiers tear, for they
fought by your side, and fell in honor
To the living who have trod the path,
the end of which is Victory, your country
men who stayed in the Homeland, wish
you a speedy return to the Land and
those you Love. And may America prove
worthy of you.
Your mother sends all her love, in
which join.

Washington, D. C. = A new, far
reaching plan making the Govern
ment responsible for guaranteeing
every American job after the war
was submitted by a group of pro-
gressive Senators for action by the
next session of Congress.
The key provision of the new pro-
gram calls for the setting up of new
kind of Federal budget production
and employment budget - which
would require the Government to ap-
propriate whatever funds may be nee
essary, over and above investments
and expenditures by all other indi-
viduals or groups-to provide 6O,OOO,-
600 or more jobs each year.
This plan was drafted in legislative
form by the War Contracts Subcom-
mittee of the Senate Military Affairs
Committee and made public by Sena-
tor James E. Murray, chairman of
the group. 1t was conceded that it
may become the major legislative
proposal of the new Congress.

EDITORS Note-In view of the
widespread interest labor has shown
in the Moral Re-Armament (MRA)
program, and the support it has
received from leaders of U. S. and
world labor, we present in this
issue a special article reviewing the
war service of MIRA and what it
can contribute in 1945 to victory
and the kind of postwar world that
labor wants.1
What is Moral Re-Armament !?
What is it out for in 1945? Why have
leaders of the AFL, the CIO and the
British Trades Union Congress back
ed MIRA? Why has MIRA been banned
in Nazi-occupied countries, and many
of it's leaders killed or sent to con-
centration camps? Why is MIRA op-
posed by reactionaries, and by Com
munist dope-sheets pretending to be
friendly to labor? Why do thousands
of union men and women, housewives,
business men, CT Joes, and statesmen
across the world see in MIRA the most
practical way to postwar world
that works?

Edgell Makes Report
Of Wuge Conference

Local Union 1872 met in regular
session last Monday evening and
after disposing of routine business,
elected the following officers for the
coming term: President, Emma Ed
gell; vice president, Bernice Reddick;
recording secretary, Gladys Myler;
inspector, Lenora Dotson; trustees,
Opal Langford, Thomas Baker and
Nellie Hayes.
Due to our regular scheduled meet
ing falling on New Years, it was de-
cided to postpone our next meeting
until January Is. Beginning with this
meeting and continuing throughout
the year, a door prize will be given
each night. We hope the innovation
will increase attendance.
Sister Emma Edgell made her re-
port of the proceeding of the wage
conference. Due to the present wage
ceiling we were denied wage in
crease at this time, but we are look
ing forward to the day when govern
ment officials will see the injustice of
the "Little Steel" formula and raise
our wages to meet the increase in the
cost of living.

Set At $l80.000.

Washington, d. C.-American Red
Cross operations at home and abroad
will reach their wartime peak in
1945, Mr.. Basil O'Connor, chairman
of the American Red Cross said in
announcing that the minimum goal
for the Red Cross War Fund to be
raised in March 1915 had been fixed
at $1SO,OOO,0OO.
To mobilize the support of organ
lied labor in achieving this goal,
agreements were reached last April
between the American Red Cross and
the official war relief committee of
the American Federation of Labor
and the Congress Of Industrial Or
ganizations. Special labor posters,
literature and recordings for local
broadcasting and for use over loud
speaking systems in industrial plants
now are being prepared in anticipa-
tion of the campaign.
"Our new budgets" Mr.. O'Connor
said, represent an appreciable in
crease in the services we will render

but we have been able to keep the
total 1945 goal slightly under the one
for 1914 because of oversubscription

operations in England and on the
continent, and after comforting with
Generals Eisenhower, Bradley, Pat

Camden, N. 1.-THE Universal Pot
terry Company has given it's en-
ployees another treat in the form OF
nice Christmas party which was
held on December II.
Each employee received a cash
Christmas gift which shows the good
will of the officials of the company.
Wives and children of employees, in
cluding those members who are now

presented with gifts.
President Keith McAfee in his re-

exists between the firm and their
employees, and hoped that such would
continue for many years to come.

bers who are now in the service, he
praised the wonderful work the union
is 4ss0isi1 90 let them know their
buddies back home have not forgotten
them. Each pay every member con-
tributes 35c to fund which is used
to purchase gifts for service men.
The fact that many employees have
been with the company for many
years speaks we'll for the fair treat
ment the officials have shown toward
their employees. We are fortunate in
having foremen and officials who lend
all possible aid in creating harmony
and goodwill and keeping their en-
ployees in a satisfied frame of mind.
The attendance at our meetings has
been fairly good throughout the year,
but we hope the new year will bring

Campaign To Put
Over Price Rdise
Pressure Tactics Used
By Stove Manufacturers

Wa sh ington, d. C. QLNS). =
Minorities in some industries are
plotting pressure campaigns for price
increases, Price Administrator Ches-
ter Bowles has warned the nation.
In weekly broadcast, Bowles as
sailed a misguided minority" of
stove manufacturers and an unidenti-
fled publicity firm for attempting to
counterfeit public opinion" in a drive
for higher profits on stoves.
81 am told that other such plans are
in preparation by other small minor
ity groups in industries" he said.
ALREADY sincere and honest business
men have warned us of of them"
Quotes From Plan
Bowles quoted from what he said
was a plan prepared by a publicity
expert and presented to the stove in
dustry as means "by which he felt
Congress and the OPA could best be
into granting higher
stove prices"
The papers and letters in which the
plan was outlined, he said, were fur
nished to OPA by several members
of the stove industry itself" The
who supported the
scheme, he said, were only a small
group from an industry (which is on
the whole one of the most patriotic
and forward-looking business groups.
For editorial background, he said,
copies of the presentation for higher
prices were to be sent some 700
and to radio commenta
tors and economists.
Says Profits Have Jumped
"The publicity firm and their clients
also plan, according to the report in
my hands, to appeal in skillful way
% you who are waiting to buy
stoves" the OPA chief added.
Bowles asserted that the stove

Tribute To Liberty"

Under cover of program filled
with glittering generalities, the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
at its annual convention in New York
tried to dress itself up as champion
of liberty" and of the common
people.
It's program was literally smother
ed with such high-sounding platitudes
as "We believe in freedom; "We be-
lieve in free enterprise; "We believe
in a sound currency"
The N. A. NJ also called for a war
against government dictated econ
omy" and demanded that taxation be
confined to the costs of "limited gov
ernment" and should not be used to
"redistribute national income" That
means reduced taxes for the very
rich.
There was little indication, when
the convention adjourned, that the
leopard had changed its spots," or
that the N A. M. had abandoned its
long record of unionism.
Mosher Is New President
One evidence of this was in the
election of Ira Mosher, head of the
Russell Harrington Cutlery Company
of Southbridge, Mass, as new presi-
dent of the association.
Union officials in Massachusetts de-
scribed Mosher's company as one of
the states old "open shop, paternal-
istic corporations" They said South
bridge was a traditional "bad spot"
insofar as unionism is concerned.
