Wage Fight
'Nears Finish
Continued from Page One

Labor riddled those figures as
being "doctored" when they
were first put out, and Taylor
himself conceded that the $3.50
relationship wouldn't be true
any more when downgrading be-
comes general and workers are
reduced to lower classifications.
That, he said, will create new
inequities which will have to be
adjusted by increases in hourly
wage rates, and he indicated the
boards new policy will deal par
ticularly with that angle.
All in all, the thinking of the
boards public members points to
some relaxation-not by junking
of the Little Steel" formula but
by short-circuiting it through in
creases to correct new "inequali-
ties" that arise during the re-
conversion.
Union spokesmen made it
clear they will fight for more,
and that they won't give up the
battle until the Little Steel"
ceiling has been lifted to au-
thorize wage increases aggregat-
ing 81 -11% as a cost of liv-
ing adjustment and 20 per cent
to compensate for the loss of
overtime.

the American Bankers Associa-
ton is against it-that's just too
bad.
Just two months before he
died, our great President Roose-

stone for international economic
cooperation is the BRETON
WOODS PROPOSAL for an in

an international bank for recon-
struction and development"
1t is clearly your duty, who

'SpecioI Interests
Get SPeciaI
Prayer

SACRAMENTO, Calf, June
June 19-(LPA) - Legislators
and gallery spectators alike were
startled to hear the following
prayer by Chaplain Torrance
Phelps invoked at a recent meet
ing of the State Legislature here:
Eternal God:
"As we begin this morning, we
offer a prayer for the moral and
spiritual welfare of the people in
the gallery and the representa-
tives of the special business and
professional interests who gather
here.
'We pray that they may con-
stantly and uselfishly put the in
terests of the entire State above
merely personal interest and
profit, and may remember that
their own private prosperity de-
pends upon the prosperity and
soundness of every single in
terest, big or small.
MAY their patriotism always
prevent them from seeking
selfish advantage at the expense
of the total welfare and progress
of California.
Almighty God, keep before
the financial and industrial lead
ers, who are essential to the
prosperity of the State, the
nightmare of ruinous results of
political corruption and chican-
cry.
MAY they always remember
that Hitlerism began with the IL
licit greed of selfish industrial
lists, and France collapsed be-
cause of the ruthless rivalry of
special interests, preying upon
the National resources.
MAY we, the Members of this
great Assembly, consider the in
terests which are meritorious,
but may we have the moral
stamina to stand like a rock
against the pressure that would
darken or alter the character or
destiny of California. In the
spirit of Christ.-Amen."

PieceWork
Overtime Means
Time-ond-o-HoI

ASHIN GTON (LPA)-
Overtime under piecework sys-
TENS must be paid for at time
and one-half the actual. hourly
earnings of the employees. So
the Supreme Court ruled this
week in a significant decision,
involving the Harnisfeger Cor
poration, West Milwaukee, Wis,
and the Youngerman-R Reynolds
Hardwood Company, S a m o n,
Alabama.
Both companies had a basic
hourly rate, with an incentive
bonus based upon quantity of
production. They paid for over
time, however, at only time and
one-half the basic rate.
That method of computation
was challenged by the Wage
Hour Division of the Department
of Labor as in violation of the
Wage-Hour Act. The division
won in lower Federal courts, lost
in the U. S. Circuit Court of APP
peal, but emerged victorious
again in the final round before
the Supreme Court.
BY z to 2 majority. the high
tribunal held thai the overtime
should have been based on the
true hourly earnings, since the
piecework bonuses had become
a normal and regular part of
the income" of the employees.

cIo Fights
Peace Droff

WASHINGTON, June 19 -
(LPA) - Impressive testimony
against peacetime compulsory
military training was presented
to House Committee last week
by Nathan E. Cowan, who told
the Congressman he spoke not
only as Nathan Cowan, Chair
man of the Legislative Commit
tee of the CIO, but as Nathan
Cowan, American, worker, fa-
ther of thirteen children. Mrs.
Cowan and I have three sons
now in the service, one son-in-
law, and fourteen nephews. One
of our sons has died for his coun-
try in the Middle Eastern theatre
of war, and one was critically
disabled at Guadalcanal."
Cowan said, 1--WE want the
fighters and the workers to de-
eide their children's future, not
the armchair strategists far re-
moved from the tragedies of bat
ties and the inconvenience of
mushroom cities"
He was seconded by another
CIO man, Loren Gray, who
spoke for the United Auto Work"
ers-CIO. Gray is California rep
resentative of the UAW Veter-
ans Division and son of Zane
Gray, the novelist.
Urges Positive Program
Cowan urged positive pro-
gram to improve the health of
the nations youth, legislation to
insure full employment, as well
as an international program ad-
vocated by the World Trade U1-
ion Conference to assure a secure
and more abundant life for all
peoples of the world.
Gray told the Congressman
that pc &C e t m conscription
would be threat to labor.
Frankly, gentlemen" he said,
1--WE find ourselves in good,
wholesome company in taking
our position--with our churches,
with our educational organiza-
tions and with other sections OF
organized labor. l don't believe
that your committee can find a
more complete, a more represen-
tative, a mere sanely-thinking
and objective cross section of
public opinion. None of us have
any IKE to grind except the axe
of democracy and peace"

told the House Banking Com
mittee that they would be "satis-
fed with a 15% rise all
around.
Second most serious threat to
price control is the official Re-
publican proposal for a six
month extension. The OPA has
asked for years extension of
the Price Control Act. Labor
would prefer an 18-month ex-
tension.
The Wherry Hoax"
The Wherry amendment,
passed by the Senate in fast
play just as Administration
leaders were relaxing after de-
feating the Taft and Thomas
profit-guarantee amendments, is
expected to die an early death.
All three major farm groups,
which rarely present a united
legislative front, have attacked
the Wherry measure as "hoax"
of the farmer, and unavoidable.
Both AFL and CIO represent
atives appeared before tn e
House Banking Committee be-
fore hearings ended last week,
to urge the renewal of the Act
without amendments.
CIO spokesman James B.
Carey, after calling the Taft
Thomas-Wherry pro sails
frauds" aimed at lifting the lid
from price control, charged that
the false front on the profit
grabbing demands was the
meat crisis" The shortage of
meat is not due to price con-
troll or to OPA price ceilings,
but TO production policies, Carey
asserted.
'Barbecued Scapegoat"
Blaming OPA for the meat
shortage "is an attractive false
hood at this hour" Carey said.
The people would like to have
more meat. Since they can't
have more meat, maybe they
can be tricked into flocking to
a national barbecue. That is the
humiliating performance that
has been going on at the Senate
end of the Capital. OPA is truss
ed up for a roasting as barbe-
cued scapegoat, with the decent
citizens of our country being
egged on to behave in the same
insane way we have seen the
citizens of other nations behave
when they are fed on a diet of
national scapegoat. It's dan
gerous and a sickening spec
tacle."

Health Plan
Wins Support

WASHINGTON, June 19 -
(LPA)-Powerful support for
the Wagner -Murray-Dingell So
cial security bill has come from
an influential New York physi-
clan, Miles Atkinson, NJ. w. He
criticizes the American Medical
Assn'S opposition to the bill as
a "head in the sand" attitude.
"In the very country with the
finest doctors and hospitals and
laboratories in the world" DR..
Atkinson writes in the current
American Federationist, "there
is still far too much preventable
illness"
Stunning up a physicians argu-
rnents in favor of the bill (Sen-
ate 1850 and House Resolution
3293) DR.. Atkinson says:
"The bill would not rob the
patient of his right to choose his
own doctor, but would extend
that privilege to those who have
never had it before.
Standards of care would be
raised because a physician,
working in a group in hospital
or health center, could make free
use of costly equipment, special
lists services and laboratory
tests, now often too expensive
for patients to use.
Doctors would be as inde-
pedent as now, except that they
would be sure of getting paid.
"Most doctors incomes would
be raised Certainly the half of
all u. S. doctors who earn less
than $4,000 annually would ben
efit.)

We Are
IndividuuIisfs
BY Ruth Taylor

We are nation of individual
lists. Those who would isolate
us from the world urge us to
stand upon that individualism,
hoping thus to keep us from con-
certed action. Those on the other
hand who believe in a collective
society, whether it be under the
rule of the State or of Dictator
not that / have ever been able
to see any distinction-we con-
denim our individualism as ar
chaic.
We as individualists will listen
to neither critic. We have regard
for the person and belief in the
sanctity of the individual. We
respect and defend the State be-
cause it represents the composite
convictions of its individual citi-
zens. We believe in the respon-
sibilities as well as the rights of
the individual. We also believe
in the responsibility of the State
both toward its citizens and to-
ward all States in the fellow
ship of nations.
1t isn't always easy to be an
individualist. There are many
times when it would be much
simpler to accept the mental rule
of State or Dictator, to be told
what to think, to lave our minds
ruled for us. We who have the
heritage of free men must, how
ever, do our own thinking day in
and day out, in war as well as
in peace.
AS Father Cannon said re-
Gently: Group hate, therefore,
whether it be racism, Marxism,
militant atheism, Christian
ism or anti-Semitism, strikes at a
fundamental concept ofsour reli-
gion and our patriotism, the con-
cept that all men are equal as
persons. F"It is the fact that they
were created by the same God
to enjoy Him for all eternity; a
destiny that dwarfs all acci-
dentals-social, economic, intel
lectual; destiny that brings us
all not only dignity, but free
dom"
Let us therefore, stand firm
in our individual liberties, fight
ing and working together as one
for the good of all. We know
that if the rights of the least of
these our brethren are threat
ened, the rights of all are in dan
ger, for no great country has
ever been defeated from without
that was not first defeated from
Let us who wish to be
free men, to maintain our in
dividualism, stand firm on what |
we believe holding only that all |
men are created equal and
avoiding all congratulations of
our neighbor by his class, his
creed or his color. Let us at all
times preserve that unity of pur-
pose which has made us a nation
Of individuals and which has
given us freedom to live and to
pass on a greater measure of
freedom to each succeeding gen.
