Washington, d. C.-Having won
smashing victory in the Senate, the
American Federation of Labor pre-
pared for showdown battle in the
House against compulsory 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 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 63 to 16 by which the Senate re-
jected the House-approved May-Bailey
Bill and adopted the O'Mahoney-Kil-
gore substitute.
The latter measure contains no pen
alties against workers but provides
fines and Jail penalties for employers
who willfully violate manpower cell
ings and other controls of the War
Manpower Commission.
The bill gives the VINO statutory
authority for the first time to go into
war plants and eliminate manpower
waste and boarding.
Labor will be affected in this way:
If the War ManpowerS 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
VINO to take other and more vital
war jobs. If they fail to accept jobs
approved by the VINO, 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
VINO 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:
81 want to congratulate the Senate
for using, as it did, reason over emo
tional appeal"
Powerful forces, including the mill
tary authorities and the White House,
lined up against labor in the Senate
fight on manpower legislation. These
forces demanded the passage of the
May-Bailey Bill or an equally forcible

Green Urges Stronger Price Control
AS Safeguard For Two More Years
Gives Fold Need For Price Control To Save Peoples
Money; OPA Most Important Stabilizer For Dollar.

cheating ourselves out Of our future
incomes. We will be cheating the ma
tion out of its future prosperity"
While conceding that administration
of the price control program has i'm
proved considerably during the past
year under Chester Bowles, Mr.. Green
pointed out that there have been and
still remain dangerous weaknesses in
the enforcement of government con-
trolls on living costs. He said:
"For example, since May, 1943, the
cost of clothing increased by 11.6 per-
cent House furnishings went up 14.3
percent On the face of it this means
12k percent increase in prices which
constitute one-sixth of the total living
cost. In reality this increase was far
greater. Quality deterioration has
continued and is still continuing at
precipitous rate. This is especially
true in clothing, house furnishings and
other textile products.
'It is, of course, impossible to find
a precise measure of the increased
cost to the consumer imposed by quail
ity deterioration. We do know, how
ever, that when shoes and shirts wear
out twice as rapidly as they do nor
mally the family's expenditure for
such essential cost of living items is
doubled. In addition to outright price
initiation in wearing apparel there has
been tremendous imitation resulting
from the lowered quality Of the prod
uct.
"We believe it is possible to assure
to the consumer future stability in
the quality of goods as well as stabil-
ity in prices. We believe that inn
mediate study should be given by the
agencies concerned and by Congress in
establishing effective quality control
in all lines of goods essential to the
cost of living.
cit is also important to note that in
flationary pressure has gone un-
checked in several important sectors
Of the economy not subject to price
control For example, sale prices for
homes, farmland and other real estate
properties have registered a sharp in
crease which has been rapidly accel-

Washington, D. C.-AFL President
William Green urged the United
States Senate to continue the Price
Control Act for another two years to
protect the American people from the
ravages of imitation.
Appearing at public hearing be-
fore the Senate Banking Committee,
Mr.. Green said:
"The nations need for price control
is two-fold. First, it provides tool
for saving peoples money. Price con-
troll has effected enormous savings to
the American people in holding down
the prices paid by the government for
munitions and equipment. 1t is esti-
mated that the current volume of war
production purchased by the govern
ment since July, 1910, would have cost
us nearly $100 billion more in the
absence of price control. That is a
direct saving of peoples money.
Second the OPA price control has
been the most important stabilizer OF
the wartime dollar Continuation OF
price control now is necessary if the
hard earned money the holders of War
Bonds have entrusted to the govern
ment is to be repaid in full when the
bonds mature. When our soldiers re.
turn they will expect and demand op.
portunities for work and income as
well as compensation due to them un.

prices to run away and the dollar te
depreciate, we will be cheating the
servicemen, the worker, the farmer
and the businessman-we will be

resumed to go any higher than the
levels maintained in 1941 and 1912
when such production was halted by
the war. If prices are raised beyond
that point, Mr.. Green said, commod-
tiles will be placed out Of the reach
Of the great mass of wage earners
and the prospects of high production
and full employment will disappear.
Mr.. Green emphasized that price
control has not cut profits, citing wide
spread high profit figures as proof.
Pressure to weaken or modify price
control based upon pleas of hardship
by business must appear somewhat
hypocritical in the face Of the fact of

dicates that the selling price Of single

"These increases impose heavy
pressure upon the established rent
ceilings and are making rent control
more and more difficult"
Full employment after the war de-
pends in large measure on the price
policies adopted by OPA during re-
conversion, Mr.. Green warned. He
said OPA must not permit prices of
