More ''Musts" For Congress

Two postwar measures of vital con-
Germ to the nations workers and
strongly endorsed by the American
Federation Of Labor are experiencing
rough shedding in Congress. They are
the Full Employment Bill and the
amendment to the Wage-Hour Act
which would lift the statutory floor
under wages to sixty-five cents an
hour.
True, the Senate passed a Full En-
ployment Bill. But it was so weakened
by amendments, so hamstrung by res
ervations, that it's effectiveness in
present form is doubtful. Senate Ma
jority Leader Barkley summed up the
disappointment of the sponsors of
this legislation when he said the bill
as passed merely says that worker
has the right to job-"if he can find
one."
Hearings on this legislation in the
House are now drawing toward con-
clusion and an effort will be made to
restore the legislation to some SEM
blance of it's original meaning and
intent when it comes up for vote.
The Executive Council pledges the
full support Of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor to this move.
1t seems inconceivable that there
should be any serious objections to
making full employment national
policy. The legislation seeks to pro-
mote full employment by encouraging
private industry to expand and make
the most of it's opportunities. 1t can
in no sense be called spending bill
because it authorizes public works only
when private investment falls short
of the nations needs.
The pending amendments to the
Fair Labor Standards Act, setting 65
cents an hour as the new minimum
wage in interstate industry, are en-
countering serious opposition from in
terests which seek to perpetuate a
low-wage economy in certain sections
of the country.
This narrow-minded viewpoint must
not be permitted to prevail. The post
war prosperity of America depends
upon a, high volume of purchasing
power among wage-earners. By keep
ing wages from falling below $26 a
week for forty hours of work, we can
assure great domestic market fol-
the products Of American farms and
factories. If millions of Americans
cannot afford to buy food and clothing

Equal Pay For
Women Urged

Washington, D. C.-Elimination of
wage differentials based on sex by any
employer of more than eight persons
engaged in interstate commerce was
advocated by Secretary of Labor
Schwellenbach, as mot only matter
of fairness to women but also from
the standpoint Of preserving wage
standards and consumer purchasing
power"
"The existence Of a group of work
ers who are employed at uniformly
lower wages than are paid to other
groups doing the same or comparable
work promotes destructive competi-
tive practices and depresses the whole
wage structure" he told Senate Edu-
cation and Labor Subcommittee which
opened hearings on the Women's Equal
Pay Bill.
Senators Pepper, Deomcrat of Flor
ida, and Morse, Republican of Oregon,
introduced the measure in June.
81 see no basis for making a dis
tinction between men and women work
ers in this connection. If they turn
out the same quantity and quality of
work, they should receive the same
compensation" Secretary Schwellen-
bach said.
Favorable action on the measure
was also urged by, Miss Frieda S. Mil
ler, chief Of the women's division of
the Labor Department

The labor Encouragement conference
was formally opened by President Tru-
man who warned, in brief address,
that failure of the parley would mean
regulatory legislation by Congress.
Speaking before a backdrop of mass
ed green ferns in the lofty auditorium
of the Department of Labor building,
with thirty-six delegates and an equal
number of alternates ranged at long
tables facing him, the President in
matter -of-fact tones called upon labor
and industrial leaders to work as
team" in drafting definite policy
in the field of labor relations"

Truman Supports 20 Percent
Boost for Federal Employees
Administration Proposal Seen Strong Clue to Trumans
Policy for Wage Hikes Throughout Private Industry

Washington, D. C.-President Tru-
man gave the nation a clear clue to
what he considers a fair pay increase
for American workers generally when
he threw the full support of his ad-
ministration behind a proposal to lift
salary scales of federal employees by
20 percent Immediately.
Practicing what he preached to pri-
vate industry, the President advocat-
ed program under which Uncle Sam
would give his faithful servants suffi-
cient added income to meet increases
in the cost Of living.
The administration plan was unveil-
ed before Congress by Civil Service
Commissioner Arthur S. Flemming,
Chairman Sheridan Downey, Of the
Senate Civil Service Commission, who
has introduced bill for 20 percent
federal wage increases, indicated his
committee would move for prompt ac-
tion by Congress.
Flemming told the committee that
the President had publicly branded
government wages as "pitiful and in
adequate" The Civil Service official
added:
"The Presidents statement is a chal-
lenge to all Of US who are connected
with the government to raise our
sights in terms of the things that need
to be done in order to make the gov
ernment stand out as one of the most
progressive employers in the nation,
and thus attract to it's service and hold
in it's service persons of outstanding
qualifications.
Flemming gave this justification of
a flat 20 percent increase in pay of
white-collar employees whose salaries

or obtain decent housing, all Ameri-
cans will suffer.
Some enlightened employers are be-
ginning to realize this interchangeable
economic truth. They learned during
the war that profits can be more GER
tainly assured by keeping production
high than by keeping wages low. They
are now showing increasing reluctance
to support the position of unfair COM
petitors who are unwilling to pay de-
cent wages regardless of the inter
ests or the nation.
Labor welcomes support from every
source. We are determined to rally the
full power of the American Fedora
tion of Labor and the backing of pub
lie opinion for prompt enactment of
this vital legislation.

represented outlined their views.
AFL President William Green, in a
powerful appeal for constructive ac-
tion, proposed four-point program
including more scientific collective bar
gaining, development Of union-man-
agement cooperation, improvement in
the U. S. Cancellation Service and the
extension of voluntary arbitration.

are fixed by the Classification Act:
THAT the average annual straight
time earning of federal employees COW
cred by the bill had increased from
1929 in January 1941, to $2340 in
July, 1943, or percentage increase of
21.3 percent.
2-The cost of living since January
l, 1941, he said, "has increased by
approximately 80 percent which means
that there must be an additional per-
cent increase in the present average
annual straight time earnings of fed
eral employees covered by this bill in
order to make sure that their 1945
dollars will purchase as much as their
1941 dollars"
3-That IL percent additional is be-
ing asked in line with the Presidents
statement Tuesday that ''wage in
creases are imperative"
"We submit" he said, "that the gov
ernment, as an employer, is being ex-
tremely conservative"
Flemming recommended far more
liberal pay increases for government
officials in the higher brackets.
He urged 100 percent increases for
members of Congress, from $4,000 to
$4,000 year. Cabinet members would
be raised from $4,000 to 5000. The
same boost was suggested for the
speaker of the house and the vice pres
ident. Increases of $4,000 year were
urged for Supreme Court justices and
for judges of lower federal courts.
Government employee unions of the
American Federation of Labor, which
originally started the drive for high
er pay rates, threw their full support
behind the administration program.

School Board Sees
Early Choice Of Site
For Sousa BuiIdinq

The Board of Education has an
nounced that prospects are bright"
for an early end to the 18-month
search for a site for the badly
needed Sousa Junior High School in
Anacostia.
Meanwhile, at the District Build
ing, Col. Joseph D. Arthur, jr., as
sistant Engineer Commissioner will
meet at 10 am. next Thursday with
a group Of seven parent-teacher and
citizens associations anxious to i'm
press him with the need for the
Junior high school,
School officials, at a board meet
ing yesterday. said there is a posi-
bility that the third Sousa site to
be considered in the last 10 months
may be satisfactory. The others
were too far from the proposed loca-
ton around Minnesota avenue and
Ely place Sc, and also too expen-
sive.
Robert L. Haycock told the board
that a special officers committee is
studying plans to make cafeterias,

Parent-teacher and civic groups
could use the cooking and recreation

no such appointments.

plan to raise SIS a month with
games and shows to adopt" a
