Economic Necessity

Labor has no choice in the matter save
to seek at least 80 per cent increase In
wages in order to bring the income OF the
uorkers into balance with the cost OF llv-
ing.
Decision of the United Auto Workers
CIO and other unions to force the issue
was thrust upon them as result OF the
failure to cut back commodity prices
and in so doing maintain closer balance
between wages and prices.
AS early as 1912, the United Auto Work
ers were seeking to roll back prices which
had increased far in excess of the ID per
cent increase allowed by the War Labor
Board under the terms of the little steel
formula. Scientific surveys undertaken by
the UAW proved that the cost of living
had increased 43.5 per cent which was
only partially overcome by overtime pay
earned by the workers.
Despite the fabulous wages which were
supposed to be paid during the war, the
average workers income in the automo-
tive industry amounted to slightly in ex-
cess of $50 a week Today, with overtime
at an end, the workers are suffering
minimum Joss of IL hours pay each week.
This loss of wages due to a return to
the 4O-hour week has not been followed
by similar cut in living costs. AS mat
ter of fact, OPA has permitted manufac-
turers of washing machines and other
scarce articles price increases of ~ per
cent, because these industries have prac-
tically been on strike to force UP their
prices before releasing their products to
the market.
Even with a 30 per cent increase in
pay, the purchasing power of the Amer
lean people cannot be distributed on
sufficiently large enough scale to main
tain full employment without government
playing its part in insuring employ
ment program for the entire country
Modern mass production methods, plus the
contradictory and self-defeating principles
of the profit system are the best guaran-
tees in the world that there will surely
be another depression if government does
not act to prevent it by underwriting a
full employment program.
In the meantime, economic necessity
on the part of the workers demands that
the wage increases so urgently needed be
granted without a bitter economic
struggle, and that the manufacturers use
this and whatever other means they are
capable of using to insure the continual
tion of the private enterprise system.
The next few months will be crucial
ones for labor, but they also will be test
for the economic system and to a consid-
erable extent determine the future of
capitalistic enterprise in this country.

WAGE DEMAND

WAGE DEMAND
In our demand for 80 per cent increase
in wages we of the United Auto Workers
CIO are doing what we are forced to do in the
light of the situation which exists among the
workers.
During the war, our union through price
survey discovered that the increase in the cost
of living amounted to As per cent dating back
to January 1912. This increased living cost was
Offset to some extent by the workers overtime
which was done to get out the war production
Now that the war is over and we are
back to the 40 hour week, the actual take
home pay has been reduced to such point
that the workers are unable to make ends
meet
TAKE-HOME COUNTS
1t is the take-home pay that counts in
determining the living standards of the work
ers Real wages, or what money will actually
purchase, is more important than the amount
which we receive. This is not hard to under
stand for those of us who went through the
depression. We could buy more then for one
dollar than we can today for two, because the
prices were cut down to the point where they
were more in line with the income of the
average worker.
Today the cost of commodities shows no
sign of coming down so that the income of the
workers is in relationship to what it costs them
TO i've. II we cOulQ lnQuce the SOVeIHIHeLL to
cutback prices in relation to the cut in wages,
there would not be the unrest and dissatisfac-
ton which now exists.
Wage rates must be based upon actual
living costs. When wages and commodity pri-
ces are out of line, they must be adjusted. If
wages are so low that workers are unable to
maintain an adequate standard of living, then,
one of two things must be done. Either wages
must be raise dto ah igher level, or prices
must be raised to higher lever, or prices
the reach of the workers income
This is the issue at stake today, and the
reason why the workers demand 80 per cent
increase in their wages. We have no alter
native except to demand and receive what we
must have in order to preserve decent living
standards.

From The Desk
Melvin Schultz
President,
Local II, UAW>ClO

We have in our Community an organization
of social agencies These various agencies
can be very helpful to our CIO members IN
times of distress 1t does require, however
that our membership become familiar with the
services that are available and the times and
occasions for which they can be obtained
Such services as medical aid, child care, family
welfare hospitals and clinics can be used by
our people whenever necessary.
Brother Richard Lazette, who has an office
located at GIL Huron Street, is charged with
the responsibility of aiding all those needing
help for whom help can be given through
these agencies Of course, in order to make
these services possible funds have to be cre-
ated to give the financial support. This has
been accomplished in the past through con-
tributions to the War Chest new drive is
being promoted now to raise funds Tor the
coming year. / would like to urge everyone
to consider very deeply the good which is ac-
complished through the services mentioned
above and also to suggest that If you have
desire to know a number of cases and the
amount of financial help which has been given
our members that you contact Brother La
zette who has the records available.
Veterans in good many instances, can be
helped through this same office; however,
should they not necessarily be In need of any
of the services mentioned we do have a Vet
erans Department esta abliShed here in our
headed by Brother Chris Topel, a member of
Regional director Richard Gosser's staff.
1t is well that everybody remember the two
particular offices mentioned above as in the
near future there will be many thousands of
returning soldiers coming back to our COM
munity These services are backed and sup
ported by the UAW-CIO and are for the use
of the membership just the same as would be
your disqualification insurance which you con-
tribute to in the plant.
would like to suggest to every plant COM
mittee that they enlarge their Welfare Com
mittee by adding the Servicemen's Department
and that the names of these people be recorded
not only at Local No. II headquarters but
also in the Servicemen's Office and in the Of
flee at Gil Huron Street, These people then
could be called together from all plants SO that
information could be disseminated and their
activities all coordinated under correct pro-
cedure.

While labor-hating newspapers continued
to exaggerate the strike situation, they failed
TO point out that strikers comprised no more
than one-tenth of one percent of all workers.

it that lumber is unavailable for homes but

Spain but holds out on the home market?

PAC'S Future

In his talk before UAW-CIO leaders
last Wednesday evening in which he ex-
planned the UAW-CIO wage program,
Regional Director Richard GOsser said,
1--WE could have done in the halls of Con-
gress what we are now preparing to walk
the streets to VIM
Mr.. Gosser placed his finger very ac-
curately upon the principal program to
which the labor movement must devote
itself now and in the future--pOlitical
action.
The UAW leader made il very clear
that the situation today in which the
unions face the prospects of being forced
to strike to secure the higher wages which
the workers must have in order TO main
tain decent standard of living, is due
primarily to the failure of PAC to elect a
sufficiently large number of progressive
congressman who would vote for the
things for which labor now prepares to
use its economic weapon.
No open minded worker can deny the
charges made by the UAW director, for
labor, which in reality crosses all lines,
color, creed, nationality and sex, has not
yet learned that its political interests are
economic interests and the best way to
secure them is by uniting for political
action without respect to partisan politics.
Labor learns its lessons the hard way,
but we believe it is learning them.

lated jobs. There is a dearth
of material on economic and
labor problems which adult
workers can profitably use.
The proposed Bureau could
prepare such material.
Teaching workers groups is
like no other kind of teaching.
Every union educational direc-
tor sooner or later comes to
grips with the lack of COM
petent teachers. Here again
the Bureau of Workers Edu-
cation could develop teacher
training programs to meet this
need.

|LaborReport
BY Bradford v. Carter
LPA COlumnist

Labor people here agree
that one of the most signi-
ficant contributions which a
revitalized Dept. of Labor
could make to the well-being
of workers generally is the
establishment of an active
policy of encouraging work
ers education. BY workers
education is meant not so
much vocational education
(for which there is substantial
government support) but edu-
cation in collective bargain
ing, history of labor, and other
subjects related to the pro-
gram of developing an intel
ligent and well informed
adult worker.
The Dept. of Agriculture
and the u. S. Office of Edu-
cation as an important part of
their functions are engaged in
giving financial and technical
aid to practically every phase
of organized education except
workers education. Supporters
of this latter kind of program
argue that the time is now
overdue for effective encour-
agement by the Federal gov
ernment of education for eco
nomic citizenship.
APPROACH
There is ONE agreement too
on the broad avenues of ap-
proach which federal partici-
patton in a workers education
program should follow. One
of them is negative but of
primary importance-that is,
that the Dept. of Labor should
not itself conduct classes for
workers but rely on coopera-
tive arrangements with states
and local communities for this
phase of the program.
Borrowing a chapter from
the experience of the Dept. of
Agriculture and the u. S. Of
flee of Education, it is felt
that workers education can
be most effectively encour-
aged by providing the Dept.
of Labor with funds to allo-
cate to the state depts. of edu-
cation and to state and pri-
vately endowed universities on
matching basis. In the
process of such ALLEGATION of
funds the Dept. of Labor, ac-
cording to these proposals,
would be authorized to set up
minimum standards n d e r
which an agency would have
to qualify before it could re-
ceive Federal funds.
Here is a hypothetical case.
The Dept. of Labor would al
locate $250,000 to tn e
California Department of Edu-
cation on the condition that
the state would appropriate
an additional $125,000 for the
program. Another condition
for receiving Federal funds
would be that the state would
adhere to certain standards of
efficie ncy in setting up
classes, employing teachers
and administering the pro-
gram with the help of an ad-
visory committee.
CONGRESS APPROVAL
Those who know something
about these matters say that
only under such an arrange
ment could you get Congress
TO approve a program of this
sort and at the same time get
the workers education pro-
gram adjusted to local needs
and interests.
Aside from this major func-
tion a Labor Dept. Bureau of
Workers Education, in the
thinking of labor education
people here, could carry on re-

 Cutting the Navy's requirements in half puts it's May call roughly at 2,OOO.
 Two reasons given, one that 17-yr-olds were enlisting at high CT rate than expected, and that the peak strength is being maintained through fewer casualties than cal culated. By July 1st. the Navy will have $500, ,ooo men.
