Strikes At Glance

100000 workers are idle by con- tinuing labor disputes. The major labor developments are the cleo trical nationwide strike of some 100000 CIO electrical workers in three big corporations who ap- proved in a ballot to enforce two dollar a day wage increase demand, but no walkout would be called until after January first.
 The strike vote shows a five to one majority favoring work stop pages.
 The strike of the General Mo tors workers, now in it's fourth week, may continue six weeks longer company officials predict as the impending court action broadens the breach between General Motors and the CIO Auto workers.
 JAW resumes negotiations with Ford, Kaiser, Frazer Corporation and are reported preparing q novel" company union security plan.

Government Must Help Development Of Alaska

WASHINGTON, Dec. l4-(P)- The development of Alaska is be- ing retarded because the govern ment pulls it's purse strings too tight, Governor Gruening said here while on his annual visit to urge the budget bureau of Con greSs to increase the Territory's appropriations.
 Gov. Gruening said in an inter view: "If we are to take care Of war veterans who want to settle in Alaska, the Federal Govern ment must develop a program to really open up and develop our great resources. We need housing, we need roads. The Federal Gov ernment doesn't even give us q fair share of appropriations, even though we are a ward of the Fed eral Government, we should have as much Federal aid as the States receive. We must be given aid for our roads the same as the States This federal highway aid is de nied to us noW' Gruening said Alaska pays excessive rates for poor and irregular freight serv-" ice"

Ickes Says
 Democrats Will Win In l948

CHICAGO, Dec. 14-(P)- In- terior Secretary Ickes ran a caus- tic tongue over the Pearl Harbor inquiry and the Hurley case, and opined that the Republicans "have already picked their opponent" for l948 which they determined to run against Roosevelt. My own confident prediction is the F.D.R. dead will give as sound trim ming as ever did F.D.R. living"
 He said he was sorry to only make a brief visit to his home town, but did mot want to miss any of the show going on these days in Washington" In this cate gory he placed the Congressional investigation of the Pearl Harbor attack, and the charges against State Department officials made by Maj. Gen. Patrick Hurley when he resigned as Ambassador to China.

sary than ever before, espe-
cially since larger Army induc-
tions will deplete the labor sup
ply"
Evidences of a new nation
wide anti-labor drive accumu-
late from every section of the
country. Daily press editorials
new anti-labor state laws, and
renewed activity by reactionary
employer groups particularly on
the West Coast, all add up to
concerted campaign that is
aided by the new advertising
project undertaken by the Ma
tional Association of Manufac-
turers in the nations leading
daily papers.
Labor leaders see in the new
apti-labor drive strategy de-
signed to counteract labor's S
own renewed efforts to obtain
a guaranteed annual wage. Big
business interests figuring the
best defense is attack, have rea-
soned that if labor is put on the
defensive on a threatened labor
draft law it will have to divert
much of its attention and energy
from the campaign to win the
guaranteed annual wage.

WLB Policy
Change Due
On FoundrieS
WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON - (LPA Ex-
clusive) A revamping of
the policy of the War Labor
Board which has kept the forg-
ing and foundry industry one
of the worst bottlenecks in the
whole war production picture,
is soon to be announced, ac-
cording to government officials.
In cases involving wage raises
in foundries where low wages
are responsible for a production
lag, WLB will now consider
groups of foundries. Previously,
it has acted case by case, and
permitted wage raises only in
rare and unusual cases to the
middle of the bracket.
1t is understood that several
agencies, including WPB and
VINO, have been asked by WLB
to submit lists of foundries
where such wage raises could
be considered.
Foundry cases constitute
heavy proportion of the cases
coming before the WLB. In few
cases are these consent" cases
where the employer agrees with
the union that a wage raise is
desirable. While foundries rep
resent only about 10 of critical
war production, their lag is now
holding up completion of enor-
nous orders for trucks and
other vital war materials.
ManpoWer authorities are
concerned because of the high
turnover of workers in foun-
dries. Employers are making
heavy profits and they are con-
tent to hire people and, when
they leave promptly because of
low pay, simply "call on us in
VINO for more men and Wo-
men," one official declared.

Heads
New Group

NEW YORK, N. Y. - (LPA)
"A pioneering venture, intend
ed to encourage clear and fun
damental thinking on the role
of labor in America, has been
undertaken by one of the ma
tons veteran labor editors.
j. B. S. Hardman, who re-
tired this month after almost Is
years of continuous service to
the Amalgamatel Cloth in G
Workers-CIO, is serving as
chairman of Inter Union Insti-
tute."
While the Institutes plans
are still the subject of discus
sion by the unionists associated
with the new venture, publica-
ton of national labor maga-
zine, Labor and Nation" is
projected for early in 1945. U.s.
ing the formal of Atlantic
Monthly" the magazine is in
tended to bring to the average
union official factual material,
discussions of basic economic,
political and intellectual mat
ters, and discussions of funda-
mental labor problems.
Only staff members of AFL,
CIO and bona fide indepedent
unions are being involved in the
project, which is aimed to help
them increase their understand
ing of fundamental labor prob
lens.
Hardman has been a leader
in such discussions among union
functionaries ever since the
publication of American Labor
Dynamics" which he edited n
the 1920's. This book is still
considered an outstanding work
on the functioning of the Amer
ican labor movement.

is vice chairman.
There are now 33 investi-
eating committees in existence,
including such important ones
as the Senate Committee Inves-
tigating the National Defense
Program first chaired by Tru-
man and now by Mead) and
such notorious partisan political
weapons as the Dies Committee
TO Investigate Subversive Ac-
tivities. Many members of Con-
gress want to cut down on these
committees, but it is doubtful
whether any agreement can be
reached on which ones should
be killed, since most represent
the special interests of some
section of House or Senate.
Resolutions to take the treaty
making power out of the hands
of the minority of one-third
plus one" of the Senate have
had strong support, but are not
likely to succeed, most Capitol
Hill reporters agree. The Sen
ate, by a thirds vote, has to
approve all treaties entered in
to by the U. S., and the House
has no voice in such matters, as
things stand now.

iuries in foundries is more than
double that for all manufactur-

Political
Action

OF INC OIl[tCQL HCLlOn COHlHlILLee
We are beginning a new
year. This is the time when
it is customary to review the
events of the past year and
resolve to do better for the
coming year.
Review in G briefly the
events of the past year, it is
safe to conclude that although
victory may yet be long
ways off, the forces of world
fascism have been dealt crush
ing blows.
When world fascism is de-
feated on the military front,
an important part of the task
will be done. Yet, unless the
fascist st-minded foes of labor
are prevented from ushering
in another era of want in the
midst of plenty, the seeds for
more fascist regimes and more
wars will be sown.
Despite the legislative at
tacks VIII h have cen
launched against it in the last
two years the labor move
ment has not been destroyed.
On the contrary the i'm
mense amount of war ma
terials forged by our members
have made possible the mill
tary victories.
NOT GLOATING
Reviewing the accomplish
ments of PAC for the last
year is certainly not case of
gloating over victories. How
ever, we played an important
part in the public elections
and this in itself constitutes
progress for American labor.
There were some victories.
One hundred and twenty Con-
gressmen and II u. S. Sena-
tors backed b. PAC were
elected on Nov. 7th. The PAC
also helped elect governors in
Ohio, Massachusetts,, Washing
ton, Idaho, Arizona and Utah.
Congressman and Senators
who were opposed by PAC
and were defeated include
Nye of North Dakota, Dana
her of Connecticut, Davis of
Pennsylvania, several Chicago
Tribune supporters in Illinois,
and Ham Fish in New York.
OF the five candidates for
judge endorsed by the Local
PAC four were elected.
1t might be we'll at this time
while in reviewing mood, to
point out the essentials of the
PAC program and our rela-
tion % political parties.
First of all it should be un-
derstood that we endorse can
didates on the basis of quail
fications and prog am regard
less of party affiliations.
While we intend to build a
ward, township and precinct
organization second to none
we are not a political party.
We are just what our name
implies a Political Action
Committee for Social Legisla-
ton.
A PROGRAM
Yet we have something that
cannot be said to be the pos
session of any political party
as such at present. We have a
CONCRETE PROGRAM for
the Improvement of the living
standards of the American
people.
We stand for an adequate
social security program; ade-
quate unemployment insur-
ance; adequate workers COM
pensation; adequate old age
pensions and protection of
civil liberties.
We support the principle
that industry must be operat-
ed in the best interests of the
whole people, and we stand
unequivically for full employ
ment.
We stand for a world or
ganization of nations to main
tain peace and international
goodwill.
Since this is the time for
new years resolutions, / wish
to suggest resolution to the
readers of this column on be-
half of the PAC.
Resolved that / shall take
out membership in PAC in
1945 and actively participate
In the ward and township club
organizations.
