ALL Halls WAGNER
POSTWAR
HOUSING BILL

WASHINGTON OPP Introduction
Of a postwar housing bill by Sen. Robert
F. Wagner D.-N. y was hailed by AFL
Pres. William Green and Chairman
Harry c. Bates of the AFL Housing
Committee as the most important step
yet taken in Congress toward the posi-
tive assurance of full employment after
the war"
Pointing out that the Wagner bill en-
bodies major proposals for a postwar
housing program offered by the AFL a
year ago. Green and Bates said:
These are sound, fOrward-looking pro-
posals, designed to generate a large
volume of productive activity and sus-
tain full employment. They place the
prime responsibility for postwar hous-
ing squarely upon private enterprise and
local initiative, with the essential mini
mum of government ad and guidance.
They specifically relate housing policy
to employment and investment activity"
The two AFL leaders called enactment
of the bill extremely urgent and asked
speedy hearings Immediately after the
congressional recess.

WORKERS
GRANTED VACATIONS

The Ninth Regional Wan Labor Board
approved one weeks vacation after
one years service, with 48 hours pay,
for 1913 employees of the Pacific Car and
Foundry Company, Billings, Mont, Chair
man J. Glenn Donaldson announced to-
day.
An application from de company and
the United Steelworkers of America, CLIO,
also requested wage increases of five
cents an hour for Glass A and B me-
.chanics. The proposal was denied,
since similar firms in the area, with the
exception of one. have the same differ
entail now in effect in the Pacific plant
for the classifications involved, n it
would prove %unstabilizing to narrow this
.differential as it is not the general prac-
tice in the industry and area involved.
Requests for Ca) an increase in the
night shift differential pay from five to
ten cents an hour, Do payment for lunch
periods and (c) two weeks vacation
after three years service at 90 hours
pay, were deferred, in order to ascertain
the practice Of companies in the same
industry and area with respect to these

ALL CLIPSHEET
SAYS WAGE
FREEZE ON WAY OUT

WASHINGTON-FP)-Public mem
bers of the National War Labor Board
haze approved a new policy thawing out
the national wage freeze, to be put into
effect as soon as higher government
officials give the all-clear signal, the ALL
weekly news service said July 81.
The new policy, which the news serv-
ce said it had heard of exclusively, pro-
ides that:
/. Voluntary wage rate increases ar
rived at through collective bargaining
will be permitted even though they ex-
end beyond the limits of the Little
Steel formula whenever the employers
critics he will not seek or require cor
e~sponding increases in prices.
.. The WLB will be given authority
to order wage rate increases above the
formula in exceptional cases, even if
higher price ceilings are required, when
ever downgrading loss of incentive pay
and reduction of overtime earnings
cause real hardship to workers and m
pair their living standards.
These WLB recommendations will be
submitted to Economic S%tbilization Di-
rector William H. Davis shortly, the AFL
service said. If davis approves them he
will ask President Truman to issue an
executive order to put the new policy
into effect.
The WLB public members ARE not sug-
costing complete abandonment of the
Little Steel formula but partial relaxa-
tons from its rigid limits to meet new
situations facing labor and industry
during the r%econversion period" the
service said. Wage rate boosts now
could not increase the income of work
ers and lead to initiation, as the WLB
public members previously believed, but
would compensate them for losses in
take-home pay that have occurred since
We Day, it said.

LARGE CONCERNS
GETTING BEST
OF SURPLUS GOODS

Senator Tom Stewart chairman of the
Surplus Wan Property Subcommittee OF
the Senate Small Business Committee,
today charged that large concerns were
receiving favored treatment in the dis
posal of surplus machine tools. Declar-
ing that congressional detectives in the
Surplus Property Act were being flouted,
the Senator warned of a worse postwar
scandal than the Teapot Dome scan
dial which rocked our nation after the
first World War"
Senator Stewart recommended a de-
tailed central inventory Of machine tools
as a prerequisite for their equitable dis
tribution. Pointing to the fact that the
government owned nearly 21a billion dol
lars worth OF tools representing IS years
normal production, Senator Stewart
asked: Can you imagine, Mr.. Presi-
dent, a large business sales organization
such as Sears Roebuck attempting to sell
its goods without having an accurate in
ventory Of the things which is owns?
Yet, here is the government with the
largest stock Of merchandise ever accum-
ulated and with no exact knowledge of
its nature or its Whereabouts Senator
Stewart charged that this situation DEM
.onstrates the impossibility, the foolish
ness of the government in business"
Citing the proposed sale Of several
million dollars worth of machine tools
to General Motors while small business
coud not obtain similar items, Senator
Stewart foresaw a headstart for big bust
ness in r%econversion. Small business
could not obtain similar items, Senator
jungle of unknown" in its search for
surplus machine tools in the absences of
an accurate inventory, he said.

THE WASHINGTON
SCENE
BY Federated Press

Let's pretend tomorrow is Vi Day.
What would happen? Throngs of de-
n~riously happy people erowding the
streets, footing horns, throwing confetti,
celebrating the end of a long and ter
rible war. Yes, OF course, but what about
the morning after vi Day? Here the
picture changes and we have a group
of very distinguished senators predict
ing that the morning after" this ma
ton will wake up with the worst hang
over in its lengthy history of economic
ups and downs. What's their picture?
we will be largely unprepared to cope
effectively with the many home economy
problems. Reconversion will not have
progressed far enough to absorb the
manpower that will suddenly be released.
Government work programs, designed to
cushion the shock, will not have been
established. We will probably experience
widespread unemployment.
This warning from the fourth annual
report of the Mead war investigating
committee confirms what responsible
labor Spokesman have been saying for
months now-that, unless the govern
ment act quickly, the U. S. is heading
for a fall that will make 1929 seem like
era of delightful prosperity.
The widespread unemployment re-
ferred to in the Mead report may mean
anywhere from eight to y million work
ers out of jobs after the defeat of Japan,
according to expert government econo-
And, according to another distinguish
ed senator, mass unemployment would
drive us toward both economic isola-
and economic imperialism-eco-
nomic isolationism in the vain hope Of
creating market abroad for American
products at the threat of the sword"
Those words were spoken by Senator
Robert F. Wagner (D.-N. y in a report
to his Senate banking committee as it
opened 2-day hearings on the Murray
full employment bill. Enacting the full
employment bill won't make up lot the
fact that Congress has don too little
and been too late in acting on matters
of r%econversion and postwar economic
affairs Wagner said.
But, he argued, one of the reasons
Congress has been busily lodging its
responsibilities is because it has not de-
cided in which direction to lead the
nation. once it accepts the perspective
of an expanding economy and Jobs for
all. it will be easier to enact specific
Like the Mead committee and
organized labor spokesman, Wagner too
struck the note Of urgency.
If we act promptly, transition unem-
ployment can be held to a minimum and

RUSSIA DECLARES
WAR ON JAPAN

The announcement that Russia had
declared war on Japan, effective August
g, was received with excitement in
Butte. According to news advices the
Moscow radio made the broadcast at 1
p. m. MWT, or 10 p. m. Moscow time.
In the United States the news was given
by President Truman at a hurriedly sum-
moned news conference. The President
SAID he had only a simple statement to
make, but it was so important that he
could not delay it. He then said Russia
has just declared war on Japan.
The news that the Soviet Union had
Joined the United States and Great Brit
ain in the battle against Japan was not
unexpected. There have been many
hints in the recent past that Russia
would declare war. It was only a few
months ago that Russia made a denun-
citation of its n-on-aggression pact with
Japan. What with the news of the
atomic bomb and the Russian declara-
ton, the people of the world have been
subjected to astounding and %bewildering
news.

The ex-soldier was fired when he at
tempted to settle a grievance for his fell
low employees in his capacity as stseward
for the Weirton Independent Union.
which the NLRB has ruled is a company
union although Weirton continues to
recognize it as the bargaining agency in
its plant here. Name of the veteran is
Kenneth K. Weir, no relation to Com
pany Pres. Ernest T. Weir.
Weir has been a walking delegate for
the VIII for the past three years. dur
ing which time he also served nine
months in the U. S. Army. After five
months in an army hospital he was hon
orably discharged a year ago and is still
receiving an army pension.
In a signed statement given to the CLIO
union, Weir told how for the last 10
months he had been trying to get pay
rates for store room employees raised up
to those paid in steel plants organized
by the s%teelwOrkers' union. On June IL
he learned that VIII Pres. Larry Laf-
erty mad deliberately pigeOnholed the
pay raise request and was instructed to
forget about it."
Weir promptly resigned his VIII stew
ards job and reported back to work on
his old job as a milIwright on the day
shift. He was transferred to the second
shift and when he protested to the fore
man he was told: THE CT Bill of
Rights don't mean a damn thing around
here"
Later in the day the manager walked
yer to Weir and told him: we don't
iced you any more" Weir also charged
hat when he got his paycheck later it
was Ss9,69 short.
Robert J. Davidson, director of the
steel unions organizing campaign IN
Weirton cited the incident as proof of
the disregard of the company union for
the workers. THE only grievances the
company will take up" he said, ARE
those deliberately planted by the COM
pany in advance" The case has been
referred to the NLRB for action.

RECESSINC SENATE
WARNED INACTION
INVITES DEPRESSION

WASHINGTON. - (FP) = The Senate
adjourned August for its longest recess
since 1898 after hearing warnings that
it had left untouched more than a dozen
urgent and immediate" problems af-
~fecting home-front prosperity.
Not due back in the capital until oct.
8. the Senate was given a point-by-point
account of the major reconversion job
still facing it by Majority Leader Alben
Barley CKy), who implied that his col
leagues were running out on their duties
at a time when the nation needed them
most.
Senator Claude Pepper CD.-Fla) com
mended Barley and predicted that if
"the people lose their prosperity" they
will put the fault upon this Congress"
Immediate legislation confronting Con-
gress when it gets back on the job, Bark
ley said, includes:
/. Full employment legislation, asked
by President Roosevelt in his annual
message to Congress last January.
2, Legislation authorizing the Presi-
dent to %reorganize the agencies and de-
partments of the executive branch Of the
government.
3. Expansion of unemployment insur-
ance coyerage. Barley remarked that
Congress had promised action on this a
year ago. that President Truman had
requested emergency action May %, but
that still nothing had been done.
4. A federal housing program.
S. Revision of the surplus property
law.
6. A national medical care program
and expanded social security legislation.
7. Removal Of %monopolies and c%artels.
8. Creation OF a single surplus ad-
m%inistrator instead of a board.
8. Development of waterways and
water power.
10. Agricultural legislation dealing
with farmers in the postwar period.
II. The economic bill of rights sub
mitted to Congress more than a year
ago by Roosevelt.
Following Barley on the floor, Pep
per warned his colleagues that the ma
ton is threatened by dangers no less
than those which faced it when the
New Deal cam to power.
Again unemployment rushes toward
us with growing speed" Pepper said.
THE people have seen, the world has
seen, what America fully employed can
do. for the like of it is not in all his
tory. The people want-nay, they de-
mand-that we have full employment in
peace as in war"
The people know that " a government
devoted to the interests of the people
can lift them to the heights which they
never have reached before" he said.
These knowing people are on the march
they are on the march in Britain. All
over the world man is moving forward
and upward. america has been leading
that march. We shall not now lag be-
hind"
Day before the Senate adjourned, Pep
per co-sponsored a meeting Of Demo
cratic senators to map progressive legis-
lation needed for the reconversion period.
The House quit July 81 but the senate
remained in session to act On the United
Nations charter. Congress can be called
back into session at the demand of Tru-
man. the majority leaders Of the Senate
and House or the two minority leaders.
