Guam May Seek
u. S. Workers TO
Finish Hurbor

GUAM LPA) - War has
Scared the face of Guam fright
fully but now with peace it is
probable that this 225 square
mile island will recapture some
of the pristine beauty that made
it one of the most magnificently
scenic spots in the entire Pacific.
With the end of hoStilities
hundreds of workers in the u.
S. may be asked within the next
year to come out here to work
5400 miles from the mainland.
If the Navy turns over the job
of finishing Guam's huge harbor
project to private contractors the
civilian workers will be needed
in many capacities. There is
some official sentiment, how
ever, for the Navy to do the job
itself using Seabees, as at pres
ent, on the work.

ly it reconvenes, to adopt Presi-
dent Truman's emergency pro-
posals for $25 week for 26
weeks for unemployed war
workers, as embodied in the
Kilgore- -Forand bill.
We urge the speedy adoption
of the guaranteed annual wage
in collective bargaining agree
ments throughout industry.
Urges Security Expansion
So the American people may
have freedom from fear and
want, we urge expansion of our
social security system, as pro-
posed in the Murray Wagner.
Dingell bill. And to end un-
American determinations, we
call for a permanent Fair En-
ployment Practice Commission.
We also urge an immediate
start on overall planning for
full production and jobs for all,
for which a first step is passage
of the Murray-Patman Full En-
ployment bill.
At the same time, we warn
against the national uivIs4on
threatened by plans for anti-un-
ion drives and by such anti-la-
Dor measures as the Ball-Bur-
toni Hatch bill, and call instead
for national unity and cocpe~a-
ton in promoting national pros
perity.
In the difficult days ahead,
American labor must above all
build its union strength and in
crease its political activity, so
that it may make its full con-
tribution to complete victory
over all anti-democratic forces
and to free and prosperous
postwar America.
For the achievement of these
goals, the CIO offers its closest
cooperation to all other Ameriz
cans who love their country and
seek its welfare.

ing the vicious" practice of
the United States Employ
ment Service in referring
skilled workers who are unem-
ployed to jobs at drastically
lower wages than they have
been receiving heretofore. This
is done, according to reports
from local unions, even though
the new job is one that does the
skills of the unemployed work
er.
The CIO called on the USES
to refuse to refer men to jobs
at lower wages than they had
previously received or to jobs
that will not utilize skills in
full. They urged State CIO
councils to bring this matter
forceably to the attention of
the Unemployment Compensa-
ton Divisions in their respective
states and demand the disconti-
nuance of this practice where it
is now in vogue and to take all
steps necessary to protect the
unemployed workers in their
claims for unemployment COM
pensation."

Student Aid Urged

WASHINGTON - (LPA) -
Ire nation should act now to
find ways of giving public aid
to students who wish larger
educational opportunities than
are now open to them, says the
National Commission on Chill
dren in Wartime. In a discussion
of the problems of school age
boys and girls, the Commission
recommends that the experience
being gained in the administra-
ton of educational benefits un-
der the CT Bill of Rights should
throw light~en~vhow a program
of student aid might be run. A
federal system of financial as
sistance or scholarships might
enable students to continue
high school, or take advanced
work in vocational and agricul-
tural schools, technical institu-
tions, college and professional
schools.

IfcIian Workers Strike

A general strike of state en-
ployes in Northern Italy began
on August 10. Railroad workers
and other workers in essential
public services are not partici-
pating. The cause of the strike
is the refusal on the part of the
Allied authorities to meet in full
the demands of the state en-
ployes. The Allied authorities
had decided to put into effect
measures for the equalization of
wages between the North and
the South on August /, but the
state employees claim that they
should be retroactive to May
1st.

done its part for the contlnu-
ing unity of the United Ma
hs. The San Francisco
Charter has laid firm founda-
ton for world organization
against fascism, aggression and
future war, while the World
Conference of Trade Unions has
made splendid progress in unit
ing the working people of all
countries. for these and other
common purposes.
But on the domestic scene,
unfortunately, American labor
finds fewer grounds for salts
faction.
In its unpar e i d war
achievements, A m erica has
shown a capacity for organiza-
ton and production that should
assure the full employment of
our people after the war in Gre
kting unparalleled prosperity for
all. But, with reconversion al
ready under way, there are
many tragic signs that selfish
privilege and governmental in
ertia are obstructing the fulfill
ment of this promise.
Purchasing Power Slashed
The mass purchasing power
of American working people
must obviously be one of the
main pillars of our postwar
prosperity. Yet today this pur-
chasing power is being cruelty
slashed by layoffs, loss of over
time, downgrading and gene
rally reduced take-home- pay,
while the infamous incubus of
the Little Steel formula smoth-
ers collective bargaining and
holds wages far below sky-high
living costs.
Congress meanwhile has been
eager and quick to provide
rofit guarantees and other pro-
Hctions for business in recon-
version, but has not lifted fin
ger to aid the worst victims of
reconversion, the laid-off war
workers.
There is also a lamentable
lack of national planning for
full employment, and a ten
dency to lift production and
price controls in such way as
to restore the "normalcy" of un-
limited grabbing for the few and
depression and unemployment
for the many.

Reufher
Demands
5000 Increase

DETROIT, Mich. - Wal
ter P. Reuther, vice-president
and director of the GIN De-
partment of the UAW-CIO,
today served demands upon
the General Motors Corporation
for 500 increase in wages of
the 100000 auto workers cover
ed by the Agreement between
the Corporation and the Inter
national Union.
In a letter to c. E. Wilson,
Corporation President, Reuther
pointed out that President Tru-
man had just announced a new
wage and price stabilization pol
icy for the reconversion period.
Under this policy, wage increases
are permissible so long as they
do not necessitate increases in
prices.
He said: with this policy we
in the UAW-CIO are hearty ac-
cord. We have maintained all
along that the public interest de-
mandS effective, stringent price
control; and we in the ranks of
organized labor are proud of
the role we have played in pro-
tecting the consumer interest
against the pressure of war pro-
fiteers."
Cites GM Profits
Reuther's letter cited the tre-
mendous profits, reserves, tax
refunds and insurance provisions
which serve to cushion the Cor
poration against the impact of
reconversion. He stated: "The
profit and reserve position of
GIN provides ample margin for
absorption of this adjustment
without necessitating any price
increase.
/ Reuther charged that GIN pro-
fits before taxes in 1914 were
1870 more than the yearly aver
age for 1896 to 1889, and that
the Corporations net worth in
creased 22%o during the war.
Labor productivity has increased
sharply as we'll, while the Cor
poration has available to it from
the government many millions in
cash refunds on excess profits
taxes and additional refunds in
the event that profits fall below
prewar levels.
The demand for a 800 in
crease, Reuther said, is neces-
sary to maintain take-home pay,
which has been reduced 30%
by reduction to 40-hour week,
if we are to avoid the threat of
drastic deflation. He emphasized
that his proposal would neces-
state no price increase, due to
the swollen profits OF the Cor
poration.
He further proposed that the
General Corporation take the
initiative in calling an industry
wide conference to negotiate
such an increase on an overall
industry-wide basis, so that there
would be no problem of jockey
ing for competitive position in
this situation. In the event of
the calling of such a conference,
the demand on GIN would be
withdrawn in favor of an in
dustry-wide demand by the
UAW-CIO.

Growing Up
Enotionally
By Ruth Taylor

The one point upon which
almost all of those who discuss
the postwar world are in ac-
cord is that it will be def
nitely different than the world
we knew before the war. They
are agreed that we are in one
of the great transition periods
of world history.
To face the problems of the
new day will require clear
thinking and calm judgment,
self-control and mental poise.
We must meet this challenge
emotionally mature. No longer
can we indulge in the imma-'
turity of adolescence. We are
not a nation of children. We
are a nation young only in
years.
In what to a nation is
small span of time, we have
accomplished much. We have
proven beyond doubt the
worth of that brotherhood
which is democracy. We have
struggled through the serious
illnesses of the early years of
our Republic to form a union
of states. We have even con-
quered the near death of
Civil War, to prove that all
men must be free.
Practical Youth
We have more than pulled
roug h. We have shown
clearly that the ideas of our
youth were practical, that our
youthful dreams of world in
which all men were free,
COULD be fulfilled. We have
demonstrated that our way of
life could give (and what is
more to the point, has given)
to all classes, all creeds, all
conditions of people better
opportunity to develop to the
full stature of free man than
any other form of govern
ment.
This we have done with the
impetuousness - though often
with the clumsy stumbling
of youth. Revolution, change,
short cuts are the expression
of the impatience of youth. A
stable and enduring peace,
however, requires reasoned
and e a o n d judgment to
maintain it. We must grow
emotionally to show that we
are capable of taking our
place at the council of free ma
tions, of playing leading role
not by force but by virtue
of calm, collected logic.
We must not be sWayed by
our prejudices, played upon
by demagogues either of the
left or the right. This does not
mean we must descend into
what the realists call "prac-
tical thinking" We must be
practical but we must use the
yardstick of our ideals to
temper our emotions.
onfid ent in our own
strength, confident by virtue
of our experience, that a
world, in which no man need
fear because of his beliefs, his
faiths or his ancestry, is the
safest world for all, we must,
with proper dignity, accept
the responsibilities of matur-

Senate Unit Approves
Price Act Extension
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Extension of the Price Control
Act for one year without change
was approved today by the Senate
Banking Committee.
The decision was reached after
OPA officials assured the commit
tee they would try by administra-
tive means to adjust policy practices
against which some business groups
have complained
Chairman Wagner told reporters
he thought the committee action
was now AL set" but that it could,
of course, change it's mind and rec
ommend amendments before filing
its report. The report probably will
not be filed until next week.
In approving an extension of the
act without change, the committee
not only turned down amendments
asked by industry groups but a
series of changes proposed by Price
Administrator Chester Bowles, in
Guiding his recommendation that he
be empowered to place ceilings on
movie tickets and barber and beauty
shop charges.
