, KANSAS WOMEN

Following the signing of the treaty
with the Delaware and Shawnee
Indians in 1854, settlers poured into
Kansas. Women and children ac-
companied the men on steamboats,,
on horseback, in prairie schooners
and wagons. They went to make it
home territory and courageously
stayed to make permanent homes,
despite the bloody years of border
warfare over the slavery issue. They
were strong, purposeful women who
foresaw the opportunity for prosper
ity and good homes for future gen.
erations. Kansas has a monument
to them on the capitol grounds at
Topeka. Their grandsons battle for
an unspoiled future for all the Nation
and War Bond funds equip them.

Labor Strikes Pose
Tough Question

The gathering storm in the su-
tomotive industry and the out
break in oil are simply the pre-
ludes to labor's nationwide stru-
ggle to hold all it can of it's war
gains.
Why are the unions starting to
make their demands now in stead
of waiting uutil reconversion is
complete and unemployment on
the wane instead of on the rise?
In part, no doubt, because they
are forced by the demands of
members into some effort now to
halt the drop of take-home pay.
In part because they must hold
and unity their membership be.
cause too much of it is lost in the
shuttle of industry in redeploy-
ment. Perhaps also the unions
see the advantage of trying for
wage increases before price lev
els are established and publicly
&C cepted.
Does industry prefer to meet
the issue now rather than later?
Probably so.- Rising unemploy-,
ment works in its favor. Some
industries are not yet ready for
full production any way. A buy
ing public, hungry for, able to pay
for war-scarce goods, is not like
ly to feel kindly toward an OBJ
structionist. Labor, by moving
now, cannot escape that role.
What case does labor make for
increased pay? Basically, of
course, labor is applying its own
form of counter-pressure to that
Of ownership for . larger share
of the fruits of production. Spe-
officially. the unions warn that if
purchasing power is not to drop
from under the market, workers
must be paid something approach
ing wartime wages for peace
time hours. They plead that the
cost Of living rose around 80 per
cent during the war, without
commensurate rise in wages.
Therefore. with coming of short
er hours and no overtime, wages
must 60 up or the workers dol
lar may buy less than before the
war.
Can industry pay what
labor asks? First of all, labor
demands more than it expects to
get. Other than that, the an
swer leads into more and equally
complex questions. In some in
dustries and plants, yes. In 9TH
ers, no. Industry can if it raises
prices. But at what point will
consumers slow their buying? 1t
can to the extent that there are
economics in production and dis
tribution which are still to b.
shared with labor-without fol-
getting the consumer who buys
and the stakeholder who supplies
the capital. 1t can to the extent
that higher wages create expand
ing markets and thus make poss-
ible further economies out of
which the wages can be paid
