twill let them keep up with the contin-
uous increases that have been applied
to the living costs ever since wages
were frozen in 1941.
0. p. A. was supposed to freeze
prices on the cost of living, but what
misnomer that turned out to be. We
are much concerned in the reconver-
sion program: Full employment at
wages that will keep the economic
wheels turning; Full employment in
everything that the words imply. Ex-
cess profits should go into wages and
those industries where it is proven
they cannot meet the best standard in
the payment of wages should be per-
mitted to increase prices.
This in conjunction with the pro-
tective tariff like this country never
had before, one that will be fool
proof and insure that no workman
will walk the streets because of the
large volume of foreign products be-
ing sold in our markets. 1t is time
the American people call a halt to
our representatives permitting condi-
tions mentioned to exist.
In acknowledging the request of the
o. c. of Local No. 6, sometime ago |
stated through these columns that
many of our members were expressing
themselves as impatient with the red
tape and slowness in action of the
War Labor Board on our pending
propositions. However, since that time

increases cannot be accepted under
any circumstances" Truman declared.
ITO accept it would mean but one
thing-inflation. /. ;. An increase in
wages, If it were accompanied by an
increase in the cost of living, would
not help even the workers themselves.
Every extra dollar that would be put
in their pay envelopes under these
circumstances would be needed to
meet the higher living expenses re-
sulting from increased prices"
At the same time Truman told labor
that 1--WE cannot hope, with a reduced
work-week, to maintain now the same
take-home pay for labor generally
that it has had during the war. There
will have to be drop. But the ma
tion cannot afford to have the drop
too drastic"
} He also vigorously attacked two con-
gressional committees for holding up
action for months on the full employ
ment bill and proposals to increase
unemployment compensation pay
ments, and call on Congress to reverse
it's decision to kill the U. S. Employ
ment Service.
Truman's wage raising recommen-
dations were implemented with an
amendment to Executive Order 9599,
issued Aug. IS, which had permitted
wage increases where they would not
be used as the basis for asking higher
prices for products.

Marking Time
For Conference

Trenton, n. 1.-Two meetings have
gone by since our last letter to the
Herald and outside of the regular
business transactions, nothing of a
serious nature developed that would
warrant comment on the two sessions.
Strikes are fairly prevalent here in
Trenton, as elsewhere throughout the
country, due to the changes being
brought about in the change over from
war to peacetime conditions. The pot
terry industry has been fortunate in
not being affected so far, although
many are anxious to return to the
five-day week
Two new members were initiated
and their names added to the roll
Frank Wysocki, mouldmaker and
Frank Maruska, caster. We welcome
these newcomers to our ranks and also
the following who were recently must
cred out of the service: John Harper,
Charles Templeton, Jr., Paul Biesick
er, Edward Malice, John Stan, Jr, and
George Smith.
Chief Petty Officer Merton En-
mons, has been a welcome visitor at
the meetings recently and other SER
vicemen are in evidence which coun-
teracts the false propaganda issued
by the enemies of labor that our boys
would return anti-unionists.
We are glad to see Fred Thompson
back at work following long illness.
Brothers 'AP Culvert and Bob Young
were reported on the sick list.
Howard Walker has been promoted
to Inspector and to try out new de-
signs. We wish him success in his new
position.
Members of Local Union 45 who
are in the service at Christmas time
will not be forgotten, thanks to the
cooperation received from the Trenton
Potteries Co.
Local Union 45 has two important
objectives in mind at the present time.
The first is the return of all our SER
vicemen and second a get-together of
all sanitary pottery workers. We ask
for patience on the part of our MEM
bers in this matter-O. c. 45.

LUST FOR PROFITS

Washington (FP). - Charges OF
Withholding goods from the market
pending more profitable conditions an
ticipated for 1916 were brought
against some companies in the textile
and clothing industry by the War
Production Board and the Office of
Price Administration Oct. 81.
Reasons for Withholding materials
from normal channels of trade were
found to be:
/. Hopes that OPA would lift exist
ing price ceilings.
2. Hopes that pending 1916 tax
legislation would lower tax burdens.
8. Speculation that labor would be
more plentiful in 1916.
a. End of overtime pay.

The Mae. r.AraEFgHH' Method

A MOTHER of Americas distin-
guished war leaders Gen.
George c. Kenney-has returned to
this country to report that AIR
POWER must henceforth have
primary position in our martial
forces.
He believes that we should have
A UNIFIED DEPARTMENT OF
NATIONAL DEFENSE in which
air, sea and land power would be CO.
equal and co ordinated components
Gen. Kenney thus fully supports
the recommendations made by Gen.
Carl Spaatz and 1t. Gen. James II.
-Doolittle. whose exploits contributed
enormously to our victory in the
European war
And it is especially important to
note that Gen Kenney brings to us
the equivalent benefit of experience
in the Pacific, for he served for three
and one half years as Gen. Douglas
Macarthur s chief air officer in the
unprecedented campaign that ranged
from Australia to Tokyo
THE magnificent Macarthur STRAIT
L egy is itself Gen Kenney's main
argument for unified operations.
Each time when a new invasion
was to be made all the way from
New Guinea to Leyte and Luzon-
Gen. Macarthur applied the air

He would call together his three
leaders Gen. Kenney as air com
mander, Vice Adm Thomas G. Kin
kaid as naval commander, and Gen.
Walter Kruger as commander OF
ground forces and talk things
over on a co-equal basis. -
Not one of Gen. MacArthur's ven.
lures failed, or was even seriously
retarded, although his advances were
made over great distances and there
was never a time when he had forces
to spare or even to equal those of
the foe.

THERE were, of course, TWO

1t would be most unjust to Gen.
Douglas Macarthur not to acknowl

But it would also be most unwise
to disregard the practical lesson
which he has taught in the way war
should be waged in the airplane age.
