ter and the Breton Woods pact, is
highly pleased by the outcome.
On domestic issues, the record of
this Congress is somewhat spotty. We
take off our hats to the lawmakers
for adopting legislation giving almost
two million government employees their
first basic pay increase in more than
twenty years. That was constructive.
Also labor wishes to commend Con-
gress' for defeating all attempts to
enact compulsory labor draft, Events
have proved the wisdom of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor's opposition
to such legislation. In fact, Congress
deserves boost for refusing to ap-
prove any anti-labor bills at this
session.
But there is another side to this pic
ture. Congress has failed dismally to
provide for human needs in the recon
version program. 1t has endangered
the situation of millions of war work
ers who may be laid off by cutbacks
by postponing action on President Tru-
mans urgent recommendation for in
creasing unemployment compensation.
1t hasn't lifted a finger to advance
the Wagner Murray -Dingell Social Se-
curity amendments, designed to safe
guard the nations health. 1t failed to
approve the Norton bill which would
permit the Labor Department to wage
campaign against preventable indus
trial accidents.
These are some of the pros and cons
on the record of the 10th Congress to
date. Labor is grateful to Congress
for it's constructive achievements and
hopes it will hasten to correct its er-
rors of omission when it gets back on
the job next October.

This does not mean we should over
look evil. Not in the least. We have
duty to condemn evil in all places
where it exists. We just condemn the
evil act--but we must not generalize
about evil doers, Jumping the innocent

the issue. We must localize it in order
to eradicate it.
1t doesn't matter what our neigh

LABOR LOOKS
AT CONGRESS
By Lewis G.. Hines

A. F. of L. Legislative Representative
The House of Representatives has
recessed for the summer. The Senate
is expected to follow suit in another
week or two. With the 10Th session Of
Congress heading for vacation, this
appears to be an appropriate time to
review the work it has done thus far.
High on the credit side must be
placed the accomplishments Of Con-
gress in the international field. It is
a foregone conclusion that the Senate
will ratify the San Francisco Charter
binding the United Nations to act for
the preservation of world peace.
Coupled with congressional approval
of the Breton Woods Monetary
Agreement, this action marks his
toric abandonment Of American isola-
tionism. The American Federation of

TELL YOUR CONGRESSMAN

Improvement of the unemployment
compensation system must now wait
until fall, perhaps much later. The
House has gone home and the Senate
will soon follow, if it has not already
done so by the time this is printed
When Congress reconvenes in Octo-
Der, there will have to be committee
hearings on proposed changes in un-
employment benefits and it may be
weeks or months befor any legislation
is enacted.
Congress went home in the face of
repeated indications that a liberalized
unemployment system was imperative
ly needed to aid in preventing hearship
and to maintain purchasing power in
the reconversion period 1t can hardly
complain if its prolonged vacation
meets with criticism, in view of the
necessity for legislation on unemploy-
ment benefits and other vital domes-
tice matters.
The vacation, however, gives labor
and other progressive forces an ex-
cellent opportunity to tell Represent
atives and Senators of the need for
liberalization and broadening of the
coverage of the unemployment bene-
fit system. Labor must take full ad-
vantage of this opportunity, so that
Congress will be impressed with the
demand for speedy action when it goes
back to Washington in the fall.

charging each commander with re-
sponsibility for providing such oppor-
tunity.
Any soldier who wants to vote in
1945 is required, under the federal
law, to ask his unit for a postcard ap-
plication which he must return, filled
out, to his home-state officials. Army
companies, batteries, troops, etc. must
supply themselves with postcard ap-
plications in order to make them
available to voting soldiers.
Each commanding general to whom
the special letter is dispatched must
see to it that qualified soldier-voting
officers be appointed throughout each
command.
Elections this fall will be held in
New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Virginia, Connecticut
and Massachusetts and in the city of
Detroit.

Six Senators Sponsor Bill
To Increase JObless Pay

Washington, d. C.-Six Senators in
troduced bill, endorsed by the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, designed to
carry out President Truman's recon-
mendations for more adequate unem-
ployment compensation during recon-
version.
While Congress rushed enactment of
a reconversion measure which will give
big corporations tax relief to the tune
of five billion dollars so they will
have ready cash for reconversion, the
new bill to meet human needs during
the same period is destined to go over
until Congress comes back tG work in
October. When the House of Repre-
sentatives recessed until the fall, ac-
tion on the unemployment compensa-
tion was necessarily postponed.
Senator Kilgore, of West Virginia,
said he was joined in sponsoring the
new measure by Senators Wagner
Murray, Guffey, Thomas (of Utah)
and Pepper.
Commenting on the bill, AFL Presi-
dent William Green said it will meet
emergency needs and therefore should
be enacted but he pointed out that it
does not provide the long-term basic
improvements in social security which
sare so sorely needed" and which are
included in the Wagner Murray Din
gell bill.
The emergency measure provides
that the federal government shall
supplement state funds so that persons
now earning $50 a week or more may
get a maximum of $25 a week for
twenty-six weeks in any one year
when unemployed. Those earning less
than $50 week would get lower COM
pensation.

NOT VAIN RELIGION
By Ruth Taylor

"If any man among you seem to
be religious, bridleth not his tongue,
but deceiveth his own heart, this mans
religion is vain"
Everyone of US who has gone to
Sunday school or chruch, has heard
and known that same text from James.
We bowed our heads in reverent lis
tening, but did we also NOW our hearts
in prayer that by these same stand
ards our religion not be counted vain ?
We may observe all the conventions
of our religion, but it will count for
naught if we deceive our own hearts.
We know what that means-the twist
ing of facts, the coloring of things
to make them appear different, the
hedging, mental-apologizing, alibiing
SO that we might evade our own re-
sponsibilities, creating mental pic
lures that do not exist. We know that
if we permit prejudice, unreasoning
bias, resentment, dislike of our broth
love and a willingness to be of service,
we are deceiving our own hearts.
Furthermore, we may lead exem-
plary lives, but if we do not bride our
tongues, our religion is vain We know
what it means to bride our tongues
not to pass on gossip as fact, not to
tell what we think as what we know,
not to spread rumors, not to speak un-
kindly or discourteously.

MORE MEAT
THAN POINTS
pensation

Since the Armed Forces are now
taking only 0per cent of the federal
ly inspected beef instead of so per-
cent which was at one time set aside
for the military, OPA District Food
Rationing Officials warned retailers
today that some of them may face a
situation of having more meat than
their customers have points to buy
with, unless they exercise caution in
ordering.
While the reduction in point value
on certain cuts of beef and lamb ef-
fective Sunday, July 20 and the re-
cent lowering of points on butter will
afford some relief, Jacob Neumann,
District Food Rationing Officer, said
reports the OPA District office had
received, would indicate that some
stores may be getting more meat than
their customers are able to buy with
the points available.
This may be accounted for Neumann
said, by the fact that some retailers
have standing order with their sup
pliers for all the meat they can al
low them, and because they are afraid
if they cut down their order they can
not later increase them.
Mr.. Neumann said the District Of
flee had request this week from one
retailer to sell meats without points
because of danger of an over supply
of their meat spelling. While there is
provision in the regulations for such
emergencies, Neumann pointed out
that in such case permission would
have to be obtained from the District
Office and the seller would have to
reduce his price so per cent of his
ceiling price which would result in a
financial loss to the dealer.
To avoid this situation Neumann
suggested that retailers order only
what they can legitimately dispose Of
and thereby assist in q fair distribu-
tion to all.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

cooperation committees in the Ad-
dressograph Multigraph Company,
Euclid, Ohio. In this plant also, alb
senteeism was reduced from z percent
to 1 " for men and from s percent to
2 percent for women-an exceptional
record. In these and other plants
safety has been improved, accidents
reduced-particularly eye accidents in
one plant, workers health has been
improved by supplying wholesome,
nourishing food and providing medi-
cal care at the factory.
Thousands of similar examples could
be cited to show the amazing results
of this new form of democracy in in
dustry. A report from one plant states:
| "Back of these methods is a certain
| spirit or attitude more important than
the methods used This is possessed by
an increasing number of persons. A
student of method can never quite
catch that faith and put it in cold
print. This cooperative attack on pro-
duction problems is most effective.
1t has resulted in outstanding increase
in production in a continuous process
and highly technical industry Union
and management are working for fur
ther improvements with full convic-
tion that this joint machinery has
lasting value" Without a strong
union, true cooperation cannot exist.
''The Chemical Workers Union AFL
gave further preparation for the spirit
needed for cooperative work"
After the war, collective bargain
ing can make sure that the increased
income resulting from union-manage
ment cooperation is justly shared by
workers. By this means workers can
| help to create the funds for more
wage increases.
Here is way forward for Amer
lean industry through partnership of
management and workers based on
democratic representation. Here is a
new faith for industrial relations
Will American arrangements accept
partnerships !? Will they make the
democratic way possible? Or will they
choose warfare against unions? The
future depends on their decision.

Unions don't grow of themselves.
They must be made to grow. In the

militant trade unionists to stir some

doing it. In many towns and cities al
most every day presents organizing
opportunities if only we will train our
minds to recognize and exploit them.
We can't hope to make a good job of

The world looks to America for
leadership in the democratic way of
life. We have fought war at i'm
mense cost to maintain that way of
life. Now it is for us to lead the way
forward with a new faith for a new
age. What we do here on the home
front, the kind of relations we build
between management and labor will
have immense influence, both at home
and abroad. For the eyes of the world
are upon US. American workers are
ready to meet this challenge.
The way forward has already been
shown, tried and proved in our war
time experience; nion-management
cooperation. Turning every effort to
get out production for the war front,
union members and manamements
have worked together in shop and fac
tories through system of joint COM
mittees where workers and manage
ment have equal voice. These commit
tees deal with every type of produc-
tion problem -bottlenecks, wastes, in
efficiencies, problems of safety and
health, tools and equipment. In fact
any shop problem which could affect
production is examined and discussed
in these weekly or frequent joint com
mittee meetings.
Workers are making an immense
contribution to the war effort through
union-management cooperation, in
those plants where good faith exists
between management and union, anc
collective bargaining is we'll estab-
lished. Here are few examples: Out
put of much needed chemicals was in
creased from $50 to LOO tons per
month in one department, and output
in another department was raised SO
percent by cooperation of Chemical
Workers Local with the management
of Monsanto Chemical Co., Moncanto,
