REMARKS OF
HON. FRANK E. HOOK
of Michigan

MIR. HOOK. Mr.. Speaker, in
few weeks, have been assured
this Congress will be given the
opportunity to consider legis-
latiOn on the most important
problem to come before this ses-
sion Of Congress, the problem of
providing stable, highly pro-
ductive postwar economic sys-
tenn in this country.
This is the most important
problem before us because on its
successful solution will depend
not only the welfare of the Am
erican people, but also the pres
eryation of the American system
of production and the American
way Of living. I do not think it
is at all an exaggeration to say
that the possibility of maintain
ing international peace also de-
ponds on our ability to solve the
problem of postwar full en-
pIoyment. For, unless we can
have stability and prosperity
here at home, how can we hope
to have it in our international
relations?
Mariner S. EcSles, Chairman
Of the Board Of Governors of the
Federal Reserve Board, recently
told the National Industrial
Conference Board that, "a high
level of consumers expenditures
Is the basic requirement for
postwar prosperity" He went
on to say that "a high level Of

Of wage and salary income. If
our economy is to operate at full

Nobody knows better than the
man in the shop that new pro-
cesses and labor-saving devices
have been developed. Tell every
body you can what this has
meant in increased production
per hour Of work and in savings
in materials used in production.
Arrange with your o. P. A. La
Dor Advisory Committee to talk
the matter over fifth the o. P. A
district director and his price
staff. Give them the, information
that will help them to see why
prices husband can-be held.
Have your unicn show you
what the profits have been in
the company you work for. Find
out what that means in the abil-
ity of the company to absorb
temporary losses while produc-
ton is still going up. Tell that
story to those who feel that
higher prices are necessary for
the period Immediately following
reconversion.
Get articles and letters into
your union paper and the daily
press. Have meetings in your
union hall; send speakers to
community meetings to explain
that prices can be held down
and must be held down for post
war prosperity.
If management tells you that
an increased price is necessary
to protect your job or your wage
rate, demand the facts before
you accept that statement. Tel
management to prove to you
I. What has happened to the
labor cost per unit during the
war? Remember that labor costs
may go down while wage rates
go up. Wage adjustments should
therefore not be used as an eX-
cuSe 70 rautomatic price in
creases.
2. On what level Of output is
management figuring? Remem-
Der that how high costs go de-
ponds on the level output at
which plant operates,
3. What is the financial con-
dition of the company as far as
reserves are concerned? The
Federal Reserve Board says that,
in general, small corporations as
well as large are in good posi-
ton to finance their reconver-
sion costs out Of savings.
4. What tax refunds are
available to the manufacturer in
case his earnings should be tenn
poraryily reduced during recon-
version? Congress has already
provided tax refunds to Offset
reduced earnings that manufac-
t'lrers are expected to encoun-
ter when war production ends
and before civilian production
gets fully under way.
5. In saying that his labor
costs are higher. has the manu-
facturer taken into account the
lower average hourly costs O.
labor due to the reduction of
overtime, night shift differen-
tials, ETC.?
6, When he says that mater
ial costs have been increased, IS
he allowing for possible saving
in material due to technical
improvements developed as g
result Of war expense?
Get everybody you can to see
that prosperity depends on high
wages and Jobs, and jobs -
pend on low prices.

chimes and new processes in
crease output per worker. In
some industries productivity has
increased as much as 40 and so
percent.
Business analysts say that the
possibilities of reducing labor
costs through Improvements can
be carried over into peace-time
production. We believe that this
will be found true in most
mechanical industries.
2. The prices of materials haze
gone up very little during the
Udr
Steel prices have not gone up
since 1941. The prices Of other
metals and materials are up
about percent. However,, new
metals which are cheaper and
stronger will be available for
use in civilian production. Also,
many industries are redesigning
their products to make them
lighter.
AS a result of these things, the
cost Of materials used will in
many cases be lower even where
the prices Of the same quanti-
ties Of these materials may be a
little higher.
8. Production at capacity tCiH be
loD-coSt production
Soon after the war ends pro-
duction can be at capacity lev
els because demand will be
great. This will reduce produc-
zion costs because the cost of
producing each unit goes down
as volume goes up.
The public must not be re-
quired to pay high prices for
goods produced at low cost.
4. ReconUerSion costs are
already paid for
Prices on war production were
set high enough so that indus
try could set aside money to pay
reconversion costs. Over $4,000. :
100000 has been put aside by in
dustry for this purpose.
The public paid the costs of
reconversion once-advance. We
should not pay for them again
through increased prices on
peacetime production.
5. Industry has other protection
against short time losses
Congress has insured industry
against losses for 2 years after
the war. The Government will
refund taxes already collected
from industry to pay for losses
which may be incurred during
the first 2 years attire the war
Long before this period is over
production will be at high,
profitable level.
6. Selling and promotion costs
1oiH be 11ay 6otOn
For sometime after the war
demand will be high, and sales
resistance will be at an all-time
low. Consumers viii buy without
urging. Since the cost Of distri-
button is such a large part Of
the price of an article, this
should save manufacturers and
dealers millions of dollars.
7. Exceptions tctu be te,r and
far bettDeen
A company may require a
price increase because it paid
Scab wages before the war and
is paying a union scale now.
Some other unusual conditions
may Justify price increase,
but such condition will be rare.
Moreover, such conditions
among few manufacturers
should not justify q price in
crease for many, nor should
such a condition in a plant be
used to boost prices more than
IS necessary to cover the in
| crease.

I especially want to urge that
this statement be given consid-
GRAFTON by the Office of Price
Administration, and by every
other agency of the Federal
Government, because there is no
use in even considering legisla-
ton for full employment if the
Federal agencies are going to
permit prices to go UP and thus
wreck the possibility of our
people being able to buy the out
put Of our plants and our work.
ers.
Under the permission granted
me, I am including the state
ment on what workers can do
about reconversion pricing:
WHAT WORKERS CAN DO
ABOUT RECONVERSION PRIC-
ING
THE PROBLEM
After the war, full employ
ment will depend on the people
being able to buy everything
that our workers will be able to
produce. This means that prices
must be low enough and wages
high enough so that there is
money enough to buy all the
goods and services which our
farms and factories can provide
If 1941-42 prices were to pre-
vail, prices would be so high in
relation to present wages that
widespread unemployment would
be forced upon the people of
this country.
However, most industries
which were converted to war
time production are command.
ing even higher than 1941-42
prices for their new peacetime
goods. Every increase in prices
over the 1912 level will in
crease the number of unem-
ployed, and increase the number
of jobs which Government will
have to provide to save the
country from a severe post
war depression.
While o. P. A can do moth
ing to force prices back below
their pre-war level, labor is con-
WINGED that o. P. A. must not
permit prices to go any higher
than they were in 1941 and 1912.
For this reason labor is urging
o. P. A. to, require producers,
with very few exceptions, to
stick to their old prices when
they go back into civilian pro-
duction again. This position is
supported by competent, impair
tial economists, by the evidence
produced by governmental and
other fact-finding agencies, and
even by the statements Of & few
Of the Nations enlightened bus
mess leaders.
You can help to protect your
job and the welfare of your
country by helping to get these
facts out to labor and the gem
eral public.
(NOTE.-We are talking about
goods which have been out Of
production and will soon be
coming into production again,
Don't let anyone confuse the is
sue by dragging in questions
about which have been con-
tinuously in production during
the war. That is another issued
which mus be dealt with, but
It's different from the one we're
discussing here.)
