Adoption of MANS demands for
weakened controls, he said, would
have increased the cost of the war
by $50 billion and the cost of living
by $36 billion. Bowles pledged that
price controls would be dropped as
quickly as feasible, "but to remove
them before competitive conditions are
again established is to invite infla-
tionary chaos.'
NAM members, who shifted uncom-
fortably in their chairs during the

out with their loudest applause for
Sen. Robert A. Taft Or, o., when he
came on after Bowles.
Taft, ringleader of the pro-inflation
bloc in Congress, said he did not thinL
"OPA can be trusted with the decision
as to what articles must be controlled
after July /, 1946." "I believe" he
said, "OPA has entirely departed from
the original purpose of the price con-

complete control of profits instead of
prices"
If Congress does not relax the price
control program, Taft said, 81 believe
we would be better off to abolish it
altogether"

Consumers Advised On How
To Fight Price 'GOuging'

New York City--QLNS)-Consum-

the fight of the Office of Price Ad-
ministration against initiation, Alvin
j. Williams, Deputy Regional OPA

letter to the New York City Consum-

In response to letter from jeanette
S. Turner, council secretary, asking
how consumers can cooperate with
OPA to prevent "gouging" in clothing
purchases, Williams urged that shop
pers who believe they are being over
charged to obtain pertinent details,
such as, the garments style number
and the stores name and address, and
report this information to their local

Bowles Singles Out NAM
As Chief Infldtion Force

New York-(FP).-If the govern
ment had needed the demands of the
Natl. Assn of Manufacturers and
abandoned price control, it would have
cost the nation $66 billion, OPA Chief
Chester A. Bowles bluntly told the
NAM Dec. 6.
Facing some 5000 big business
leaders gathered in the grand ball
room of the Hotel Waldorf-Astoria
for the MANS annual convention,
Bowles warned that the MANS policy
of cunning for price control "repre-
sents a most dfhgerous threat to the
future health and success of our en-
tire free enterprise syste.b.p
Bowles named the NAM, the Natl.
Assn. of Real Estate Boards and the
Natl. Retail Dry Goods Assn. as the
chief foes of price control. But, he
added:
"The everyday people in this coun-
try are Fundamentally behind this
program of initiation control. Our
farmers are behind it. Our workers
are behind it. The consuming public
is behind it. And tens of thousands Of
businessmen, large and small, many
of them members of the NAM, are
also behind it,"
The MANS proposal that price con-
troll be ditched in go days is 'a risky,
reckless, gambling policy +. utterly
foolhardy and dangerous" Bowles
said. Estimating the savings made by
price control, he said his estimate was

NAM Emburks On
Strunge Campaign

New York; (FP) The Natl. Assn.
of Manufacturers is going to spend
1916 proving that management has
a heart"
NAM Vice Pres. Walter b. Weisen-
burger explained how in a pep talk
before $500 middle-aged and elderly
businessmen at the MANS golden an
niversary convention here. 1t won't be
done by meeting labor's demands for
wage increases, Weisenburger made
clear, but by making that proposition
the theme Of the MANS 1916 public
relations program.
Speaking i'm chatty, statesmen vein,
Weisenburger scolded his listeners for
being shy and modest in selling big
business viewpoint and letting "the
system-changers in the government
temples" and demogogic labor leaders
play on the emotions of the people.
A united purpose, common STRAIT
egy and the total strength of the busi-
ness leadership "is needed in this cru
cial battle for Freedom" he asserted.
"Stop permitting labor and govern
ment to picture you in the role of
throwing for loss the peoples ideals
of social progress.
"For instance, tell the folks of your
sympathy for working out better con-
tinuity Of employment, and the prog
ress that is being made; let them know
that higher wages, well earned, will
result from the improved productive
efficiency which management is stim-
ulating; help them to set that their
hearts desire for security can only
be obtained in any substantial way
through managementS production
plans."

Dor production of the War Production
Board, and later was a member of the
United States group control council in
Germany.
Says German Unions Vital
Setting forth that determined eff
forts are being made to reestablish a
democratic government in Germany
as first line of defense against fu-
ture aggression, keenan, said that the
basic foundation for such a move
ment is through such free institutions
as the German churches and trade
unions. He added:
"This attitude does not represent
pure benevolence on our part. Wheth-
er or not we like it, we are forced to
rely in the final analysis on the Ger
mans themselves to assume the bur-
den of running Germany, under ap-
propriate guarantees and supervision
Therefore, we must do everything In
our power to encourage and stimulate
the elements in the population which
are most favorable to our way OF
thinking" :
The revival of the German labor
movement is essential to democratic
government in Germany, keenan, con-
tinued, explaining that the policy on
unions in the American zone provides
that workers may organize under GER
tain specified conditions, and under
the general surveillance of the milf
tary government. This policy is part
of the pattern developed by the mill
tary government in the American
zone to rebuild German institutions
from the ground up.
In the case of trade unions, the OBJ
ject is to make certain that the or
ganizations develop out of genuine
workers interest and need uninflu-
enced by pressures from the top, Kee-
nan said.

Working II Out
BY FRANCES PERKINS

A recent newspaper carried in two
adjoining columns strikingly contrary
headlines. On the first column the
headline read "Job Bias Charges
Few" The second column on the same
paper carried the headline, Bridge
port Bars Jobs for Women" Both
stories are undoubtedly true. The first
relates to the report of the New
York State Commission Against Dis
elimination and the second is news
story from Bridgeport describing a
protest of large group of women
against the signs hung out in many
shops there "No Women Being
Hired"
Women are a part of the American
democracy too. Women are a part of
the labor force. Every investigation
that has been made by agencies of
government-the Department of Lab
or, the Womens Bureau, the Employ
ment Service-have all shown that,
of the women working for wages at
any given time, about 80 percent are
wholly dependent on their own earn
ings and that about go percent of them
have dependents whom they must sup
port.
Working men know this to be true
and, although there were many pre-
judices years ago against the entrance
of women into industrial life, the
necessities of their position--combin-
ed with the expansion of our produc-
tive program in the U. S. A.-has
served to reconcile a largt part of the
Labor Movement to this change.
But there is still discrimination
against women in places. There are
still few Unions which do not admit
women to membership.
The International Bookbinders
Union has clause in it's constitution
requiring certain number of the in
ternational offices to be filled by
women. This is an old provision in the
constitution in that union which to-
day is very proud to point out that it
was among the first in the United
States to make practical program of
"women's rights"
During the war an unusually large
number of women have been working
in manufacturing occupations. A large
part of these women have always
been wage earners but worked at
some other calling. They were office
workers, laundry workers, hotel work
ers, school teachers, artists and some
times unskilled labor For the most
part the girls who had worked pre-
viously did best at the new factory
heavy jobs. r4.
The total addition to the working
force of the women in the United
States was only about three million
during the war. 1t is probably true
that many of this three million will
disappear from the labor market as
their husbands and sons come home
from the wars and as they marry and
make future homes.
But many of the jobs which women
have done have shown that they are so
capable at that particular work that
there will certainly be an effort on
their part and on the part of indus
try to retain them in postwar jobs.
One of teh problems of trade unions
will be to find ways of accepting wo-
men workers who have entered un-
usual trades, and cooperating with
them rather than discriminating
against them.

Graphic Guide 10 Jobs
Published for Sailors

A graphic guide designed to show
discharged Navy and Coast Guard
veterans the links between civilian
jobs and what they did in the serv-
ice has been published by B'nai
Birth Vocational Service Bureau.
The guide, entitled What You
Can Do With Your Navy Training
as Civilian" is a tWo-color wall
chart, 38 by AZ inches, and covers
the 54 most important Navy and
Coast Guard ratings, including
those held by WAVES and SPARS.
Next to each rating, the chart
shows the related civilian job which
a veteran may be able to enter
with little or no additional train
ing, the job he could do with more
training and the related job that
would require extensive training.
The new B'nai Birth chart is q
Ecompanion piece to an earlier one
showing what soldier can do with
his Army training when he returns
to civilian life. More than 40,0O(
copies of the Army chart have been
distributed, the bureau reported.
