WAGES
Cutbacks leading to layofs and increasing
unemployment brings to our attention the
necessity for raising wages
AS overtime work draws to a close the
loss of income to the worker is not only going
to be hardship him, but on the people
with whom he does business. The grocer,
butcher, druggist, hardware man and other
small businessmen will suffer along with him
It's not too difficult to figure out what loss
of overtime is going to mean to the worker.
Workers who now receiving $50 or more
each week will receive $40 or les when their
plants go back to the 40 hour week. The loss
of S12 week is bound to effect everyone. Null
tiply the Sl2 by thousands of others and the
figure is high enough to be serious economic
loss to the worker the community and the
nation. If 1000 workers each lose S625 in one
year, 1T means an economic loss to the worker
and those who depend upon him
sumer
La Dor is one of the few things that has not
been unfrozen since We Day Everything
seems to be breathing easier, all but the work
ers who still working at frozen wages In
spite of the admitted fact that the cost of
living has risen out of all proportion to the
increases which the workers have been able
TO get for their labor.
INCONSISTENT
Even President Truman has taken the po-
be increased still he did see fit to ask that the
unemployed receive SIS week for 26 weeks.
1t strikes me being bit on the inconsistent
side for the President to resognize the need
for maintaining the purchasing power of the
unemployed, while at the same time watch
ing the purchasing power of those who are
employed seriously lowered by cut in hours
which is the same a cut in wages
1t is necessary to maintain the purchasing
power of the American workers during the
reconversion period and the best way to do
this is to maintain wages for the workers re-
gardless of their loss of extra hours work.
This is no more than proper, for it is fact
which everyone seems to know and admit ex-
cept government that the wages of the work.
ers are out of line with the prices of the things
they must have to live.
There perhaps is good way to bring
about a change in the wage limitations and
that is by changing the law.
We of organized labor must find some way
to change the situation that increased wages
can be paid to the workers based upon living
costs until some such solution is found de-
creasing work and unemployment will lead
to increasing restlessness and dissatisfaction
which can in turn become a serious obstacle
to reconversion and normal production.

Then And Now

Last fall Virgil Cramer and Raymond
Hildebrand, Republican candidates from
the Toledo district were elected to the
Ohio State Senate without the backing of
the Political Action Committee.
Last week both Senators broke their
promise to the PAC to vote for the SIS
for rs weeks proposal in the new unem-
ployment compensation bill after pledging
their support to the bitter end. In return
they were given assurance that their al
tentative vote of $40 for 20 weeks would
be acceptable to PAC after they had dem
onstrated their inability to win on the
original proposal.
Possibly it was a difficult choice to
make, no doubt it was, but both Senators
Cramer and Hildebrand could have been
less polite and accomplished just as much
had they not attempted to hold the sup
port of both the Republican organization
and the PAC without getting caught in the
act.
In their somewhat frenzied and vain
attempt to deceive the representatives of
the Toledo PAC present for the final hear
ing and vote on the unemployment COM
selves so obvious that nobody was fooled.
They wanted to retain the support of the
Republican machine and earn the support
of the PAC, but it just couldn't be done
their way.
And so Senators Cramer and Hide
brand have made their choice. They have
struggled with the horns of their political
dilemma and accepted the Republican
party and rejected the PAC. So it shall
be. They have written their own ticket
their record in Columbus on the state un-
employment compensation, and shown by
their actions that they have no fear of the
PAC.
Neither Senator can claim that he
was not given every opportunity to deli
yer and we hope they will bear this point
in mind in 1916 if they decide to seek re-
election to their present political posi-
tions. Senators Cramer and Hildebrand
have been weighed in the balance and
found wanting, not because of their vote,
but because of the way they failed to vote
when given an opportunity on a major
issue which involved the living of every
worker in this state.

asSure ond Pressure

Despite the labelling of labor as a
pressure group, and approximately IS per
cent of the inhabitants of this country
work for wages and salaries, it will take
all of labor's pressure to insure the con-
tinuation of the Price Control Act for an
other year in the face of the counter
pressure groups.
Obviously, there are pressure groups
and pressure groups, but the really inn
pOrtant pressure groups are those con-
sisting of landlords meat packers, food
professors and others whose commodities
come under the terms of the Price Con-
troll Act.
Using the plea that reasonable pro-
fits" be paid to every professor on long
list, our own Senator Robert A. Taft has
led the fight against the Price Control
Act, not too destroy it outright perhaps,
but to so modify it with amendments that
it becomes meaningless and Intellectual in
protecting the consumers of the nation.
We are at the beginning of down
ward economic spiral, one in which less
ened hours and growing unemployment
coupled with inadequate unemployment
compensation will slowly but surely de-
Stroy the purchasing power of the Amer
lean people. To cripple price control at
this time would be tragic and give added
impetus to trend with which our gov
ernment thus far seems hesitant or un-
willing to deal.
We cannot all go to Washington to
speak on behalf of price control, but we
can and should write letters to our re-
presentatives in Congress and tell them
exactly what we want them to do. To
weaken the Price Control Act would be
to bring about chaos in our economy and
jeopardize both the war effort and an
orderly reconversion to peacetime pro-
duction

Continuing on the National Labor Relations
Act if a worker believes that the employer is
engaged in one or more unfair labor practices,
he or his Union may file charges with the Re-
gional Director of the National Labor Relations
Board on forms supplied by that office.
Charges must be sworn to before notary or
agent of the Board.
After charges are filed the following pro-
cedure is generally followed:
% These. charges are Investigated by field
examiners. During this investigation,
charges may be ABUSED, withdrawn, dis
missed or otherwise closed without for
NAL action.
% A complaint is issued if charges are found
to be well-grounded and the case is not
settled by adjustment.
90 A public hearing is ordered to be held
before a trial examiner.
"a A trial examiners findings and recon-
mendations are served upon the parties
and sent to the Board in Washington
in form of an intermediate report. At
this point the case is transferred to the
Board in Washington. Where compliance
is not secured the agrieved party may
file statement of exceptions and brief
and may request an oral argument be-
fore the Board
go The Board reviews the case and makes
decision.
(6) In case of failure to comply with the
the Boards orders the Board asks the
Circuit Court of Appeals for an enforc-
ing order. 1t is possible for the employer
to, also, request review of the Boards
order.
(0 The employer and the Board have the
right to appeal from the Circuit Courts
to the Supreme Court
When an unfair labor practice has been
committed the Board usually holds that such
action be taken as follows:
- To disestabliSh a company dominated
union.
~ To reinstate Immediately all persons dis
charged to former positions without
prejudice to seniority or other rights
joyed prior to the unfair labor practice.
3) To pay back for the lost time while such
worker was discharged. The amount of
such back pay is usually the difference
between his net earnings since discharged
and what he would have earned had he
not been discharged
40 To discharge all persons hired in place
of those unfairly discharged
Sd To cease all interference with rights of
employees.
This procedure may seem rather lengthy
o the people who become involved yet it is
he employees only means of achieving JUS
ice under the National Labor Relations Act.

the daily papers to run few
editorials acclaiming Mr.. Nor
ganthau's announcement of his
intention to employ World
War III veterans to track down
the tax-dodgers and profiteers
who have grabbed off millions
in plenty heavy sugar out of
this war.
1t seems that some of our
best blue-blooded plutocrats
have not allowed their patriot
ism to interfere with their ma
tural hunger for the long
green stuff
On the books, the record
shows that profits more than
doubled from 1910 to 1914.
They went up from AZ billion
annually to SO per year.
These figures are for the
take that is on the legit.
UNHAPPY FLUTES
But Mr.. Morgsnthau says
that some of the plutes, un-
happy about the small pota-
toes represented by go billion
in legitimate profits, have
made off with great bags of
Doodle that were never tailed
for tax-paying purposes.
In the noise and confusion
of the war, the Treasury De-
partment has been too busy
and too short-handed to keep
tabs on these boiled-shirt
brigands.
Unhampered by law, their
consciences calloused by long
years of profiteering, these
thieves now loll in their count
ing-houses, gloating over the
stacked up booty they have
pilfered from the American
people.
While plants close down,
and workers dig out their War
Bonds, the tax-dodging bandits
finger the sheaves of lucre
they lifted behind our backs.
WISE CHOICE
Mr.. Morganthau, with the
approval of President Truman,
has indeed made d wise choice
of personnel for the job of
hunting out the plutes who
have pillaged the public purse.
BY all means let veterans
do this job.
Did we not tell the men who
enlisted voluntarily and those
who were drafted, too, that
they were going to fight for
God and Old Glory-and not
to fatten the already swollen
purses of the American plutes?
Did we not promise them
that we would watch over
their interests while they were
gone overseas fighting their
country's battles?
Did we not assure them that
this was a war for democracy
mot a battle for bank notes?
LET THEM KNOW
Okay, we gave them all
these assurances! now let us
face the music and tell them
we fell down on the job, that
we slept at our posts, and that
the plutes stole our pants
while we nodded.
Let us point out to the vet
erans that the strikes they
fumed about were in large
measure caused by the greed
for profits of these tax-dodg-
Ing criminals whom they are
to be hired to find and punish.
Let us display the physical
facts of war profiteering to
the veterans, and explain to
them the very devious tricks
by which the plutes have elud-
ed the tax-collector.
Then let us happily watch
the veterans chase these
scoundrels who fattened on
the nations misery and stuffed
their Golfers with loot behind
the backs of the boys over
seas.
