How About Plight
Of Professionals?
$4,000 White Collar Workers Have Fixed Salaries AS
Prices Rise-Senate Committee To Hold
Hearings In Washington

WASHINGTON - Senate COM
mittee hearings on the plight of
''fifteen million white collar and
professional workers on fixed sal
aries f.. whose health and security
is imperilled while the cost of liv-
ing rises" will be held here Jan.
1927.
Announcement of the hearings, to
be held before the Senate subcom-
mittee on wartime health and educa-
ton of the Senate education and labor
committee, was made jointly by Sen.
Claude Pepper (D.-Fla), subcommit-
tee chairman, and Sen. Ebert Thomas
(D.-U), chairman of the full COM
mittee
In letter to Pepper, requesting
the hearings, Thomas said: Il am
told that there are some fifteen mil

workers whose salaries have remained
fixed while the cost of living has
The union times. (New Haven, Conn.) 1941-1948, 1944-01-08

Professional Workers after the ultra
conservative NezV York Times did a
so-called survey of problems of white
collar workers which developed into
an attack on organized labor. The
Times articles, completely ignoring
organized labor's fight for a stabil-
lied economy, attempted to blame
unions for sub-standard wages of
white collar workers.
Best answers to this was given
by Chairman William III. Davis of
the National War Labor Board.
Asked what underpaid white collar
workers should do to get wage in
creases, he replied:
swell, one way is to join an Or
ganizatiOn. That is the way would
do"

Powerful Lobby
Is Still Held Back

That money isn't everything
is a lesson that has been
learned anew by a powerful
lobby, armed with a ''slush
fund.- of $75O,OOO and plug
ging for legislation preventing
review by the United States
Supreme Court of the shenan.
igans of fire insurance com.
panies.
A Department of Justice case
against companies operating in
several Southern states is on the
courts docket, set for hearing
early in January. The lobby has
been trying to get through bill
depriving the court of jurisdic-
ton by holding that regulation of
the insurance business is solely a
matter for the states.
The measure was stymied in the
Senate Judiciary Committee, de-
spite desperate efforts of the lob
byists to dislodge it. Adjournment
of Congress prevents consideration
of the bill until after the court has
heard arguments on the litigation.
Beset by Fresh Troubles
About the only result of the lob
bys strenuous activities has been to
bring a demand for thorough-going
investigation of the insurance bust
ness. A resolution for a probe has
been offered by Congressman Walter
A. Lynch (Dem, N. W, which he
supported with a memorandum by
the Department of Justice indicating
the extent of monopoly operations
and the extortionate profits of the in
Surance companies.
The memorandum charged flag
rant discrimination i'm the rates
charged big business men as con-
trasted with those paid by little
fellows.
For example, it said that indepen-
dent drug stores and grocers were
compelled to pay from 40 to Is per
cent more for policies than chain
stores of about the same size and in
the same locations.
Reports Are ''Doctored''
The department said that the
financial reports of the companies
to state insurance authorities are a
sort of legal hocus-pocus" covering
up profits For instance, it charged
that 10 of the biggest companies in
1941 reported profits of only $780,
600 and half of them showed losses"
But analysis of the figures
showed profits of almost 3d.
100000 and total earnings, in
Guiding investments, of $4O,-
100000.
The departments charges were
echoed in a speech in the House by
Congressman Charles M. La Toilette
(Rep., Ind. }, an insurance company
lawyer before he came to Congress.
He said that insurance companies
were providing protection for big
factories at less than cost, but charg-
ing small factories and small bust
