WLB Report Explodes
High Wage Myth

Washington, D. Propaganda
about high wages was shattered in a
report by the National War Labor
Board, covering it's three years of
operations.
A special tabulation covering a 20
month period, showed that out of a
quarter million cases, involving near
ly 100000 workers, handled in
that period, the average earnings, at
the time of applications for increases,
amounted to less than 70 cents an
hour, scarcely subsistence level.
Average raises granted by the
board in these cases were 6.3 cents an
hour, which still left the pay rates
far below decent American standards
Significantly, the report disclosed
that employees in unorganized OF
company union" plants are paid far
less than workers in union establish
ments.
In the former, the average wage
at the time of applications for raises
was only 64 cents an hour, as against
72 to Is cents in the latter.
On an annual basis, that would
mean union worker, toiling about
$500 hours, including overtime at
time and one-half rates, would earn
approximately $500 more than non-
union employe.
Other statistics carried in the re-
port showed that throughout the
three-year period, the board and its
regional offices disposed of 100000
cases, covering 24,000,OOO workers.
Out of this vast number, there were
only 81 instances where either en-
ployers or unions defied board awards
and in only 25 of these was it neces.
sary to seize the plant to secure en-.
forcement.
"The small number of recalcitrant
employers and unions, in contrast tt
the thousands of rulings given, speak;
eloquently for the nations co-opera
tion. with the War Labor Board under
the labor management governmen
SYSTEM" declared Theodore w. Kheel
the boards executive director, wht
prepared the report.

Liberated Hollands First
New Labor Paper Issued

New York City (ILNS) The first
new labor newspaper for liberated
Holland has appeared at Eindhoven,
the Netherlands Information Bureau
says.
The paper is called Paraat Pre-
pared) and is published by skeleton
organization of the Netherlands So
cial Democratic Party which is being
revived after having been banned and
dissolved by the Germans during the
occupation.
Paraat is an entirely new weekly
and did not emanate from the under
ground Thus it ranks as the first
new organ to express the views of a
Dutch political party.
Social Democratic Party delegates
representing several freed localities
of Holland, in their first gathering
since the Germans were driven out
have decided to found Social Demo-
cratic Society for Free Holland" to
keep alive the party's principles until
Holland is completely liberated and
competent leaders can decide as to the
definite form that the party's new po-
litical organization will take.

2 AFL Women Workers, /
A Negro, Leave On Good
Will Trip To England

Washington, D. C.-Two American
working women, members of the Am
erican Federation Of Labor, are on
their way to Europe to represent labor
on a good will mission to the women
workers Of England. They were chosen
by AFL President William Green.
One of the AFL appointees is Mrs.
Julia O'Connor Parker, of Boston,
member Of the International Brother
hood Of Electrical Workers for thirty
two years and for the past twenty
years President of the telephone ope-
rators division of the union. She has
made previous trips to Europe as a
labor representative.
The other is Mrs. Mazda Stewart
Springer, a dressmaker and member
of Local % of the international Ladies
Garment Workers Union in New York
City. She is the first Negro woman
to be singled out for such mission.
A luncheon in honor of Mrs. Sprin-
ger, given by ILGWU President David
Dubinsky, was attended by more than
100 New York labor leaders and rep
resentatives of Negro organizations.
Before their departure for England,
both women came to the nations cap
ital to consult with Mr.. Green and to
be received by outstanding Govern
ment officials.
The National Council of Negro Wo-
men hailed the appointment of Mrs.
Springer "as an indication of the en-
crying status of Negro women" 1t said
Mrs. Springer was chosen not because
of her race but "as a qualified Amer
ican woman to represent American
labor"

THE WAR HOUNDS
AND SPOILS OF WAR

'The War Hounds" are now trying
to sell the people on compulsory mill
tary training. If there are to be no
more wars, why burden the people
with the immense cost. Putting chip
on the shoulder for other countries to
do likewise, great number of Ger
mans coming to this country to free
themselves Of military training.
And 1t seems Ito me) premature
for the powers that be to argue about
the "Spoils of War;" as who should
have this territory and who should
have that While our soldiers over
seas are dying, and untold numbers
being sent home crippled and MANNED
for life. The people are submitting
to lot Of Dictation. The masses will
never have theefreedom as in earlier
days unless we stop the Dictators.
There is too much politics in this
war. After this war is ended, we the
people should demand that regimenta-
tion be stopped,
Have read some Ancient History
and said then our heads of Govern
ment were following in the footsteps
of monarchial countries.
There are thousands of u. s. jobs
not needed. There are so many on the
U. s. payholl, which will have the
balance Of power against the common
people. New Jobs, New Taxes, seems
to be the slogan. -. T. d. I

VACATIONS NEEDED

(From the st. Louis Post-Dispatch)
The Cincinnati city government is
making mistake in sacrificing the
vacations of municipal employees ir
order to make up manpower short
ages.
Vacations aren't luxuries; they are
necessary. They aren't secondary to
war work; they are part of it. WIPE
pointed out these facts last summer
and the summer before, in speaking
up for vacations.
Rest and change of scene enable
workers to do more and better work
This is truer than ever now when ex-
ira demands are made on workers-on
among others, employees Of federal,
state, county and municipal govern
ments.

Business Group Backs
Lab0r's Stand On Higher
J0bless Pay Standards

Washington, D. C.-Organized labor
received partial-although welcome
support from an unexpected source in
its fight for better and more COM
prehensive unemployment compensa-
tion system to meet the dangers of the
transition period between war and
peace.
The Committee For Economic Devel-
opment, a nationwide group of busi-
nessmen headed by Paul C. Hoffman,
President of the Studebaker Corp,
made public report favoring higher
benefits, longer duration and wider
coverage in the unemployment COM
pensation field.
In one particular the report, pre-
pared by Associate Professor Richard
A. Lester Of Duke University, differ
ed with labor's views. 1t recommended
that the States make these changes,
whereas the AFL has long advocated
the establishment of uniform system
for the entire country to be set up by
the Federal Government.
The G. A. d. report said:
Unemployment compensation, as
the chief means for providing for
workers during the transition, should
have its coverage extended and it's
benefits increased. Coverage should be
extended to include Federal agency
employees, workers in Federal ship
yards, arsenals, etc., merchant seamen
and workers in firms with fewer than
eight employees"
Prof. Lester also recommended that
"those States which have not already
done so increase their schedules to per-
nit maximum benefits of $40 week
for 26 weeks"

What About RecOnversiOn =?
by Ruth Taylor

You know how we run word to
death. Well, the present fad is for the
word "reconversion." 1t is a gooc
thought-provoking word-but there is
one meaning of it which l don't think
has been properly discussed, and
which is even more important than
business reconversion.
1t is the reconversion, not of man
power, but of mental power, Of unity
power. The force that backs our fight
ing men is not merely force of arms
1t is the force of coordinated thought
1t is practical working together.
We have learned in war how import
ant it is to put aside our personal pref
erences and to do job that is in the
common interest. Are we, when the
war is over, going to forget our hard
learned lesson and slump back into q
selfish way of life? Are we going tc
scrap the plant we have built, the CO.
operative machine that did the job ?
Are we going to revert to pickering
among ourselves?
Why cannot we reconvert this moral
force and carry on our crusade? AL
we need to do is to change the objec.
tive of our war-to fight conditions
not men.
We have had man-power shortage
because we had to produce SO many
weapons of destruction. Cannot we
if we turn the same energy to effect
have full employment producing those
things which make life more enpoy
able?
Instead of building the paraphe
MALTA of war, cannot we build homes
If we fought slum conditions, power
ty and disease with one tenth of the
energy we have put into fighting peo
pie, we would destroy an olden enem!
and assure the future for those who
follow. We have worked hard to make
our soldiers healthy and strong-tc
face death and mutiiation. Cannot We
work as hard to make our children
healthy and strong, to wipe out the
plaques of disease?
When in forums, my audience ex-
presses concern about the problem Of
peace, | ask how many are doing
community war work. Most of then
are. Then | ask how many gave as
much time to their community IL
peace. The silence is awful. However
there was a man once who broke i
by saying "We get it,
Reconvert to peace by all means
but do complete job with the same
energy used in war. Can't you SET
what Utopia America could become
And we could bring it about.

Watch for Worthless Checks
The F. B. l. is endeavoring to appre-
hend man who is passing worthless
checks. He usually claims the check
to be salary check and that he is a
chauffeur or truck driver for some
concern. The amount of the check is
usually stamped on the back together
with request that the endorser be
required to show his social security
card. 1t may be well to be sure before
cashing any small checks which are
often presented to merchants or bar
tenders in payment for purchases.
