Kaiser and j. 5. Steel
Fight for Ownership
|0f Two Big Plants

OAKLAND. Calf, Feb. IA bat
tie between the United States Steel
Corp. and Henry j. KaiSer's mush-
rooming interests was in the making
today over postwar ownership of the
Far Vests two great steel plants.
Early this week, Benjamin Fair
less, United States Steel president,
said he had informed the Defense
Plant Corp. his company is interest
ed in purchasing the Fontana
(Calif.) steel mill operated by the
Kaiser company. The announce
ment brought sharp retort from
Mr.. Kaiser today that the plant ''is
not and will not be for sale"
Further, Mr.. Kaiser said, his COM
pany is making study of the $780,
100000 Geneva (Utah) steel plant
operated by DPC with view to
bidding for its purchase or lease,
exactly as the United States Steel
Corp. has announced it viii do"
The Western industrialist said he
is still at loss to understand why
the United States Steel Corp. writes
the DPC making an offer for the
Kaiser company's property. Ger
tainly the Kaiser company would
not consider making an offer to the
Government for any property owned
by the United States Steel Corp"
The Fontana plant was built at a
cost of 500 000, 900 and the parent
Kaiser company has repaid the Re-
construction Finance Corp. one third
Of its loans with money from sources
other than the steel company's
earnings An additional $37 70O0, 900
investment to prepare the plant for
efficient peacetime use is contem-
plated. Mr.. Kaiser said.
The real issue in the future of
Fontana is more than the question
of ownership, Mr.. Kaiser remarked,
1T is the creation of real competi-
ton. 1t is the decentralization of
power in industrial organization; 1t
is the independent disqualification
of the West and South, as well as
the East"

Soon or late every President has
to grapple with the problem of per-
sonal friends or politicians who in

through acquaintance with him

Roosevelt publicly forced various

they had set up law shops here

through all his terms by palace
guardsmen who laid their lines while
working at the White House and
then marched out into lucrative
private work.
The late Senator James Watson
q political sage, wrote in his
memoirs Of this aspects of Washing

must be well informed in the law

dustrious as the proverbial bee and

This is all well-known to Jackson
County ex-Judge Truman and he
ccepts it. He wants his friends

work but he does not intend to have
his personal or presidential honor
tarnished. He Is privately of the
opinion that Mr.. Roosevelt was toe

doesn't intend to be.

An
Appeal
By Ruth Taylor

When the last shot has been
fired, when the guns are stilled
and peace has again come to a
war torn world, then what will
happen to the workers of the
world?
Is any man so blind as to think
that overnight the trade unions
will emerge from the under
ground where their scattered
remnants have fought so vail
antly and take up their work
where they left off?
We know that we will have
not won our war against tyranny
until we have re-established the
greatest bulWark against dicta-
tors-a free, potent trade union
movement. But where will we
get the men?
These brothers of ours have
been prosecuted, tortured, killed
for their beliefs. Those who
have survived have lost five
years from their lives. Five
years filled with terror, five
years of oppression, five years
of watching their families
starve! Will they be the same?
These scars bite deep.
WE MUST HELP
If we want free trade unions,
free as we understand the word,
then we must stand by and help.
1t is not merely a question of
new equipment, new buildings,
new literature. 1t is a question
of building up, of training new
men, of strengthening the faith
of those who have survived, of
helping not just organizations
but men-our fellow men-our
brothers.
There will be winds blowing
from all quarters. There will be
all sorts of forces trying to seize
control of the workers for their
own ends, offering everything
to people who are ready to
snatch at anything. Workers
anywhere have moral obliga-
ton to assist workers every
where. If our aid to these labor
forces is 'too little and too late"
it may mean the end for a CEN
tury to come of genuine democ-
racy in Europe.
SLAVE OR FREE
AS Matthew Woll so cogently
put it: 1T is impossible for
labor to remain free for any
length of time while workers in
other lands are enslaved. Apart
from the organized labor move
ments in the democratic coun-
tries, the world accepted the en-
slavement of Italian and Ger
man labor with equanimity. Yet
out of this enslavement came
the crude totalitarian power
which was so terrifyingly
launched against the free and
| democratic world.
"Unles we take adequate
steps now, the same will be true
in the postwar era. If the Eu-
ropean labor movements are 10
become so many labor fronts for
totalitarian and near totalitarian
governments, we may be GER
tain that by these very acts the
seeds of World War III will be
Sown."

Gyp Exposed

SHIN TON, Jan. 16
(LPA)-Hundreds of thousands
of Montgomery Ward customers
are being charged illegal prices
in violation of the OPA ceilings,
Donald Montgomery, consumer
counsel for the United Auto
Workers-CIO charged last week,
In a letter to OPA Admins
traitor Chester Bowles, Mont
gomery stated that "These Gus
toners are paying increased
prices to Montgomery Ward be-
cause, without their consent,
their mail order purchases were
transferred during June and
July, 1914, from the Chicago
mail order house to other houses
which charge higher prices on
many items listed in the Fall
and Winter catalog of 1944-45." "
On some higher priced items,
Montgomery told Bowles, the
cost to Montgomery Ward Gus
toners "was increased as much
as So by the transfer. On
cheaper goods the increase fire.
quently amounted to more than
10%."
Wards explanation of the
transfer, Montgomery said, was
because the Shortage of Works
ers caused by the large numb%
of war plants in the Chicago
area has made it difficult to
maintain our usual prompt
service from there"

After RefusoI

WASHINGTON LPA)-Jan,
16-One of the most striking
examples of the way in which
failure to plan production has
resulted in severe injury to the
war effort and the firing Of
thousands of skilled workers
was disclosed here last week.
Early last year, over the Wig
orous protests of organized
labor. the Navy ordered drastic
cutbacks in production of Cor
sair Fighter planes. The cut
backs caused the closing of two
Brewster Aircraft plants, one
at Long Island City, N. Y, the
other at townsville, Pa. More
than $4,000 workers lost their
jobs.
Two other plants at Akron,
Ohio. and Stratord, Conn. con-
tinued production of the Corsair
Fighter. Both plants, however,
were and still are in tight
labor areas.
Now both the Akron and
Stratord plants, it is disclosed,
are falling behind in their pro-
duction schedule. Ironically, ac-
cording to top War Production
Board official, the production
drop during December amount
ed to approximately the num-
Der of planes Brewster would
have turned out for that month
had production continued.
Labor leaders point out that
the Brewster cutback was all
the more shortsighted because
the progress of the war in the
Pacific has pretty much follow
ed schedule and has not encoun-
tered reverses and stalemates
such as have happened in Eu-
rope with the consequent need
for vastly increased war pro-
duction.
Another casualty of the
Brewster shutdoWn-and an ex-
pensiVe one-was a large gov
ernment-built housing project
at the townsville plant, Costing
hundreds of thousands of dol
lars, the project consisted of
800 permanent units and 200
temporary units all built to
house Brewster workers. OF the
200 temporary units, built at a
cost of S636, 900, 1873 - which
would have gone to ruin other
wise-have been picked up and
moved to war plant commune
ties in Virginia and Maryland,
Forty-two remain empty.
