NUMBER / PROBLEM

Labor is facing many problems as peace
nears, but the most important of all is the
problem of full employment
We can work for increased unemployment
insurance and many of the other things for
which labor has been striving for many years,
but unless we are able to secure employment
for at least so million workers, we will miss
the mark and suffer for many years to come.
In this country, we have reached new
idea of government. We can all remember
when our government changed its position
from one of indifference to the economic well
fare of the people, to one of responsibility We
cannot turn back the clock to those days when
government sat back waiting for private
terprise to give men jobs and then, when
jobs could not be supplied, still waited for the
situation to automatically change itself.
GOVERNMENT is RESPONSIBLE
Our idea of government has changed to the
point where we believe that government is
responsible for the welfare of all its citizens
We believe that government owes it to the
people of the country to do everything in it's
power to see that all who need jobs are pro-
vided with them at wages high enough to per-
nit decent living.
We believe that government must regulate
business and industry in such way that they
will be able to supply work to as many as
possible; but we also believe that when private
industry is unable to supply jobs, it is up to
government to see that employment is given
to those, who through no fault of their own
are unable to secure work.
With this idea we agree and because of
this we think that it is up to the federal gov
ernment at once to pass bill which will guar
antee full employment to all the workers of
this country.
CONGRESS INDIFFERENT
What we want and what government does
are two different things, for while we sit here
with the prospect of an unexpected peace star
ing us in the face because of the successful
operation of our fleet air corps and armies in
the Pacific, Congress has declared a holiday
and gone on its longest vacation since the war
developed in Europe. Congress seems to think
that the war is over and that everything is
settled
When our congressman come home (some
of them are going to Europe to view the ruins)
we should make it point to take up our
problems with them, particularly the necessity
of providing full employment for all the work.
ers of this country at all times. While they play
and rest, we are in danger of sudden ending
of the war and the beginning of the fight for
living and our jobs.

Sink or Swim

Dear Sir:
This letter is addressed to my
fellow members at the Auto
Lite who have reached the sink
or swim stage.
l have been on sick leave
from the plant for the past two
months, but | would like to ap-
peal to all the people out at

| would like TO appeal to my
fellow workers whom / repre-
sent in Departments 222, 223
and 227 to do all in their power
to defeat the move that has been
started to take the Auto-Lite
Unit out of Local II. 1t is my
opinion that setting up sep
crate Local Union would gain
nothing and lose everything for
the workers.
Let's all be at the meeting
at Moose Hall on July 20 and re-
member as we attend that the
old saying is still true-"United
we stand-Divided we fall.

Next, I wish to discuss Wage Sterilization.
The agency responsible for stabilization of
wages and of salaries below $5,000.00 year
paid to employees not engaged In executive,
administrative, or professional capacities and
not represented by a Union is the National
War Labor Board.
Congress established he National Stabiliza-
ton Policy in the Sterilization Act of October
2, 1912. The purpose of the Act was to stabil-
ize salaries, wages and prices at the level of
September Is, 1912, allowing changes only
where necessary to the effective prosecution
of the war or to correct gross inequities.
In accordance with that policy the Board
has developed basic rules.
One of these rules is General Wage Rate
Increases. These increases across the board
are prohibited except where required to bring
the average straight-time hourly earnings of
a substantial group of employees up to level
Is percent above the level that prevailed on
January /, 194l.
Then we have the ruling known as the sub
standards of living. These substandards may be
corrected In voluntary cases, substandards
may be corrected up to so cents an hour, to
whatever rate or rates below so cents an hour
each regional board has fixed as the standard
for Its region. When substandards of living are
involved in dispute case, the Regional Boards
consider, IN duuitIon, the appropriate prevail
ing rates.
The Board is authorized to approve mini
mum adjustments for workers in immediate
interrelated job classifications to the extent
necessary for the maintenance of production
efficiency in connection with the approval of
wage adjustments necessary to eliminate sub
standards of living or to give effect to the
Little Steel Formula or in connection with
the adoption of a larger workweek
d
Adjustments. The test used where wage rate
increases are asked for the ground that
higher wages are paid for similar work in
other plants is known as the Bracket System"
The bracket for given occupation is the
range of rates normally paid for that occupa-
ton in the area are discarded and the remain
ing and tested rates make up the bracket.
If the existing rate lies within the bracket
established for that occupation and area, it
cannot be increased. If it is below the mini
mum of the bracket of sound and tested rates.
it may be brought up to but not above the
minimum, except in rare and unusual cases
in which the critical needs of war production
require the setting of wage at some point
above the minimum of the going wage bracket

The FiddIers

When Nero fiddled as Rome burned,
he set an example of official indifference
which those other fiddlers called congress
men seem to be initiating with vengence.
With sudden peace starring us In the
face as more than a wishful possibility,
Congress has voted to take its longest
vacation since the onset of the war in Eu-
rome. With the speed of events today, the
adjournment of the legislative branch OF
our government until October outdoes
even some of its former acts of aSsinine
lack of timing.
Nobody would deny Congress a vaca-
ton during the worst weeks of heat in
Washington, yet, the boys in the hot
damp climates where the Pacific war is
being waged do not get an IL weeks vaca-
ton. We could not expect the Japs to sit
pIacidly back waiting for them to resume
the attack after they have had their little
rest.
Congress passes laws like the Smith
Connally Act forbidding strikes and then
stages the greatest sanctioned sitdown
that has occurred since the war started.
And while congressman go on their Euro
pean junkets to view the ruins and shake
their heads and give tsk, tsk through
their teeth, millions of workers are facing
an attack of peace jitters occasioned by
the prospects of enforced widespread idle
ness if the war comes to an unexpected
end
And if the worst does come, if sudden
ending of the war occurs and jobs end
with hostilities, what will happen to the
e he hca nf
any overall planning for the postwar
period?
Important legislation lies dormant in
Washington waiting for the vacationing
congress, but important events such as
the termination of the war and joblessness
will not wait. They can descend upon us
and catch us as unprepared now as we
were when Hitler marched into Poland.
We can just picture Congress hustling
back to Washington il the war does end
quickly. We can see their JOY and happi-
ness that the whole thing is over, but we
can also see the CONSERVATION of the work
ers faced with immediate unemployment
as well as the dissatisfaction and unhappi-
ness of the veterans who will be returning
to the second act of the same scene which
played in this country in 1919 following
the end of World War l.
While the fiddlers revive their "frayed
nerves" and recover from their exhaus-
ton, the nation is waiting, hopeful that
sanity will return and that somehow or
other ways and means will be devised of
getting our congressman off their patriotic
seats and back on the job again. Eleven
weeks vacation for Congress while the
world is burning out-Neros Nero.

"If we leave everything to God and the
National Association of Manufacturers, the
postwar world will look pretty grim"
Alvin Johnson.
With no intent to show how retailers have
marked up the price of goods over their costs,
an OPA report to Congress reveals the follow
ing interesting examples of price gouging:
While hardware wholesalers were getting 179
percent more for the goods they sold to re-
tailers, the hardware retailers were getting
365 percent additional profit; while wholesale
grocers showed a profit increase of 80 per-
cent, retail grocers were making up their
profits of 1877 percent.

Woqe Cuts

Employees of the Packard Motor Car
Co. who have been temporarily on the 40
hour week due to material shortages, have
had taste of what faces every worker in
this country as the need for war prOduc-
ton lessons.
1t is quite a comedOwn from 48 or
more hours pay to 40 hours, fact which
every employee who has had the exper-
fence will verify, yet, despite this, prac-
tically nothing is being done to ease the
situation by breaking the little steel for
mula which, in the face of cutbacks and
layoffs still blindly and rigidly gives the
workers the same old refrain about the
cost of living.
If il were not for overtime work, thou
sands of workers would not have been
able to get by during these years of ac-
celebrated production and manpower shor-
tages. The production requirements grow
less, but unfortunately, the requirements
of human beings remain about the same.
If prices would be lowered on COM
modities to conform with the decreasing
incomes of the workers, the situation
would be more hopeful. But again, unfor-
tunately, prices do not come down until
the workers have suffered from privation
and want and great surplus piles up on
the counters and shelves of those who pro-
duce and sell commodities.
In the long run it will be either to
break the silly formula by which the WLB
grants raises, cut prices, or bring about a
period of strife and chaos.
