Political Action Was First Round In
 Battle For Fall Emb mbloyment-Fe Feinmark

Washington, and replace him with James P. Ceelan, member of or ganized labor. The same thing hap pened in other parts of the state. All labor and liberal groups were united, and on the whole we were successful.
 | have gone into detail on this be- cause the decision as to whether or not we are to have full employment after the war, or another great de- pression, will depend on our state legislatures and on Congress, which IS supposed to represent the masses of people. We should be true to our American heritage, and insist that not only should all who are able to work have jobs, but jobs which pay wages which make possible a decent stand ard of living. We cannot do less, if we are to protect the best interests of our nation, and do our best for the ten million American men and women in the armed services who are giving their lives not only to rid the world of the Nazis and Fascists, but to make this better world for all.
 I have tried to show that political action by organized labor and its friends is one of the great develop ments in recent American history. A second development is the in- creasing cooperation between man. agement and labor. The American Federation of Labor stands for free enterprise, but we insist that it be free, and that it be enterpris- ing. We oppose mOnopOlies and cartels, as we'll as any artificial re- strictiOn on our productive capac- ity. We believe that large section of management realizes that there are no profits to be made if work CTS are underpaid, and consumer buying power is limited. We want to carry over into the postwar pe- riod the benefits of cooperation, and we hope that management feels the same way.
 All of our energy is directed today towards winning the war, which will mean an end to slave labor, and chance to build a better world. With out relaxing our efforts for one mo ment, we also are giving thought to some specific improvement which can be made now, in order to help bridge the gap from a war to a peace-time economy. We have introduced into the Connecticut Legislature a com prehensive legislative program which will benefit all of the people of our state, and believe that good part of it will be enacted into law.

(The fOIIosoing address was giUen Saturday before the NesO Hauen branch of the Workmen's CircIe.-EditOr.)
By HAROLD V. FEINMARK Secretary-Treasurer, Conn. Fedora
 tiOn of Labor.

The Workmen's Circle has a long and honorable history which closely parallels that of the American Fedora tion of Labor, and 1 am glad to have this opportunity to speak to you.
 Organized labor, as you know, was not always accepted. In fact, there are a few places I could mention where 1t is not accepted today. But l have in mind especially the early days of the trade union movement in this country, when a strike was likely to be called a conspiracy, and an organ izer was often escorted out of town by the local police. In those days, and today as well, the Workmen's Circle, and groups like it, were haven of refuge and support. There are some cities in the country, especially in the South, the deep South, where the Workmen's Circle hall is, the center of liberalism, and sometimes is the only liberal force in the community.
 Today organized labor, with to- tai membership of fifteen million members, is at a high peak in strength and influence. But-even if we had twenty-five or thirty mill lion members, we would still need every bit of strength we could mus ter. For, make no mistake about it, the enemies of the working man and women are preparing now for the battle to come.
 And there will be a battle, and every one will have to decide what side they are on. On one side there will be organized labor and its allies, who are determined that we shall not go back to the days of 1882 and 1883, with twelve million unemployed. At the cost of much suffering, millions of Americans are now able to see that we can pro- duce for war, but not for peace. We have achieved miracles in the production of guns, tanks, air planes and ammunition, which is as it should be. We simply insist that, within the framework of American democracy, we should, after Hitler and the Fascist gang sters in Japan are defeated, repeat those miracles in producing hOus- ing, clothing, food,-in fact, every- thing that goes to make life more livable. We are now world leaders in every form of production, and it would be a crime against civiliza- ton if we permitted the skills we have learned in the field of total production to be scrapped.
 I think we fired the first gun in this battle last November 7th, when we reelected President Roosevelt, and defeated isolationists like Senator Danaher of Connecticut, Gerald Nye of North Dakota, Ham Fish of New York, and replaced them with fiber als. I've always wondered why isola- tionists, in most cases, are also anti labor, but that's fact.
 The fact that organized labor par ticipated in last 'November's cam paign in an effective and decisive way is a good indication of what we may
The union times., 1945-03-24

expect in the future. That is what mean when I say that we fired the opening gun at that time. At long last, we now realize that economit action alone is not enough. Equally important is the fact that we also real ized that organized labor has many friends in the white collar and pro fessional groups. Finally, we also learned that our skill in organizing for economic action could be used in organizing for political action.
 l am proud that the Connecticut Federation of Labor took leading part i'll this new development. Realiz- ing the danger we faced in this state and nationally, if our enemies were successful, the State Federation ot Labor, for the first time in its his tory, set up a Non-Partisan Political Committee, of which 1 had the honor to be chairman. We organized on a State, City, and local basis, and made an intensive drive to see to it that our membership was on the voting list, and that they voted on Election Day. We endorsed progressive candidates, and worked against those who were anti-New Deal, anti-1abor. Many of the white collar and professional groups, as well as small businessmen. accepted our endorsements, and voted accordingly.
 The results you know. We were able to defeat Congressman Comp ton, of this District, one of the most anti-labOr representatives in

AFL Urges O.PA. For Two More Years
ShowdownConing On Draft Of Labor
Hopes For Passage Of Voluntary Manpower Plan In- crease Majority Of House Of Representatives
 Expected To Agree With Senate

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Having won smashing victory in the Senate, the American Federation of Labor prepared for a showdown battle in the House against com pulsory manpOwer legislation.
 Efforts will be made to induce the House to concur with the Senate bill which is satisfactory to labor. While the House passed a dangerous forced-labor bill, it was considered likely that majority would now agree to go along with the Senate measure.
 One of the important factors in the situation was the overwhelming vote of 6 to 16 by which the Senate re- jected the House-approved May Bailey Bill and adopted the O'Ma- honey-Ki1gore substitute.
 The latter measure contains no penalties against workers but pro vides fines and jail penalties for em- ployers who willfully violate man. power ceilings and other controls of the War Manpower Commission.
 The bill gives the WING statutory authority for the first time to go into war plants and eliminate man. power waste and h0arding.
 Labor will be affected in this way: If the War Manpower Commission decides that the working staff of an employer is too high, it will set a lower ceiling, thus requiring the dis charge of a number of workers. These workers will then be directed by the WING to take other and more vital war jobs. If they fail to accept jobs approved by the WING, they will be denied certificates of availability and will be unable to get another job. In other words, displaced workers will have to take jobs approved by the WING or have no jobs.
 This arrangement was considered severe enough by organized labor but far preferable to the May Bailey Bill which meant work or jail.
 Senator O'Mahoney of Wyoming, one of the co-sponsors of the legisla- ton passed by the Senate, said:
 "I want to congratulate the Senate for using, as it did, reason over emo tional appeal"
 Powerful forces, incIudig the military authorities and the White House, lined up against labor in the Senate fight on manpower legislation. These forces demanded the passage of the May-BaiIey Bill or an equally forcible labor draft. Labor's opposition to such drastic legislation was supported by in- dustry and, to smaller extent by farm organizations.

Undersecretary of the Navy Ralph A. Bard has been called upon by the A. F. of l.. Metal Trades Department to halt inter- ference by commandants at navy yards with the internal affairs of unions.
 More and more of the commandants have been putting out orders forbid ding supervisory employees = even though they have been union members for many years-from holding office in unions or engaging in any other union activity. Some commandants have extended the restriction to non- supervisory employees and to "straw bosses" who have little or no author ity.
 As pointed out two weeks ago, the ban has stirred widespread re- sentiment among navy yard work CTS. President N. P. Alias of, Dis trict No. A, International Associ- ation of Machinists, protested ve- hemently.

 The VILE. sustained decision previously handed down by the sixth regional board in Chicago, requiring the Marmon-Harrington Company, Indianapolis, Ind, not only to rein state "vets" who come back to their jobs, but to give them the benefit of whatever automatic wage increases they would have received had they been continuously employed.
 Such safeguard was demanded by the union at the plant as part of its agreement with the company. The company appealed to the VILE, but lost its fight against such clause.

Fitzgerald Against Selling In Plants

State Manpower Director William J. Fitzgerald of the War Manpower Commission today announced that the War Manpower Commission in Con- necticut was not in accord with any selling mediums employed by profes- sional organizations or others to sell books or any other articles to war workers during working hours.
 'It has come to my attention that many firms in this state have been approached by agents of various types asking for permission to approach workers with various selling proposi- tions. believe that such ideas should not be encouraged inasmuch as it would interfere with war production at a time when Connecticut industry is doing its utmost to maintain its high production levels"

Stamford C.L.U. .Favors Increase
 For Workers
Basic Salaries Of Govern ment Workers Not Raised
 Since 1925

Support for H.R. 2071, which would adjust the salaries of postal employ ees, was voted by the Stamford Cen tral Labor Union at its last meeting. The following resolution was adopted |:
 Whereas, the postal employees of the nation have not received an increase in their basic salaries since 1925, or twenty years ago, and
 Whereas, these men and women receive less than the regular hourly rate of pay for service performed in excess of eight hours per day or forty-hours per week, and
 Whereas, the Post Office De- partment has turned over to the General Fund of the Treasury of the United States surplus to be used in the operation of the other branches of the Government, and
 Whereas, we believe the Post Office Department was not intend ed to be operated as a commercial profit institution, but as service to all the people, and
 Whereas, these faithful em- plOyees have cOOperated in all ac- tivities of the Government and the War Effort, and
 Whereas, any Postal surpluses should be turned into bettering the salary conditions of Postal Person. mel, therefore
 
 ''Be It Resolved, that the Stam- ford Central Labor Union place it. self on record as being in favor of H. R. 2O7I, bill to adjust the salaries of Postal workers and use its influence in having this bill en- acted into law"

As We See It \ by
 THE STAFF

WE ARE confident that the Legislature will pass a state Labor Relations Act in the not too distant future. Our confidence is based on the fact that both political parties are, on record in favor of such an act; also the fact that a bill accept. able to organized labor is now in the hands of the Joint Labor Com. mittee of the Legislature. A favor. able report from the Joint Com. mittee would ensure passage of the bill in the House and in the Senate. We think this report should be made as soon as possible.
 AS VIE co TO PRESS. q st0te- n.ent is published in the Ne,O HaUen newspapers concerning the fact that q committee repre- senting the .Nes0 Hauen School CHstOdians Union, the Neu Ha- Uen POIicemen's Assn., No. 53O, and the Central Labor Council has asked Alderman Dimenstein to Uithdra,U his proposed or dinance ,0hich sO0uId giue legal protection to city employees ,UhO join unions. TsOO sOeeks ago soc explained that Dimenstein acted \On his O,On in presenting the biU. ard that organised labor prefers to present its OsOn ordinance to the Board of Aldermen, SO that the measure ,OOuId be free Of any tdint of politics.
 Shortly after the committee spoke iUith Dimenstein, he issued q long statement to the press, etc., etc. We are beginning to sOOnder # the alderman is inter- ested in organized labor, or in getting some free publicity. In any eUent, he has finally agreed to ask pOstponement Of the hear ing On his ordinance. ...... ..... ....
 IN TWO cases during the past week, the National War Labor Board sustained continuation of wartime wage rates where plants convert from war to peace prOduc. ton.
 CuneO Press, Inc., Chicago, was turned down on an application to cut wage scales, even though il had recOnverted some operations to peace-time orders. At the same time Dunbar Furniture Manufac. turing Company, Berne, Ind, was informed it could continue war time pay levels even though it had shifted from production of airpIane parts to regular furniture.
