Who Can't Bowl?

When John DeFanti makes statement, you can rest assured that he will back it up! Only the other day he was expressing him. self in no uncertain terms on his prowess in a bowling alley.
 In his usual soft-spoken manner (that can easily be heard through out the yard over the din of chip ping hammers) he was expounding to the high heavens how fearful people became when he steps into a bowling alley, particularly the pinboys! Why" John exclaimed, with both hands waving like wind mills, "when I let that ball go it tears down the alley like a meteor and then when 1t crashes into the pins, many people in nearby towns haul out their kerosene lamps ex- pecting another terrific thunder storm. I have a lifetime average of 122 and only in recent years since I haven't practiced as much as I should, has that average come downw But all this raving by John was only a we'll planned scheme to acquire little of that folding stuff to help the 9th War Loan. He knew darned well that Mike Pac- zowski Iformer erector boss) was within earshot and wouldn't let all of this talk go unchallenged!
 Amid much discussion and the belittling of one another's ability, they reached an agreement that on November 18th, at 9:30 p. m. at Scuris Alleys, John and Mike are to bowl five strings total pinfall. Then at later date five more strings at Westerly. John has an- nounced to the world that If Mike hadn't been so abusive to me, I would have bowled left handed and given him a chance, but he only cut his own throat, so will give him the business"
 Yet Mike is confident and is tell ing all of his friends, If John will only keep his mouth shut while he is bowling and knock the pins over with the ball instead of his hot air, I should win hands down.
 Perhaps Mikes confidence is well founded, but the boys of Lo- cal B-261, I. B. E. w., and their treasury are laying it on the line for John to win by a wide margin.

It can't be done because prices are away up on most of our necessities, much more than 20 per cent.
 The great argument put forth by the learned expert, political and otherwise. against the 30 per cent increase we are asking is that prices would have to go up, and we would have imitation. If prices a. ways have a definite and constant relationship to wages, I want to know who stole the difference be- tween the 20 per cent wage increase since 1899 and the 30 per cent in- crease on many commodities we are compelled to buy, because they are necessities of life. We already have much imitation without any noticeable wage increase, and there are many keen students of politicai economy who believe we can have higher wage standards without any further imitation.
 Now let us consider what the in- creased income tax rate has done to the purchasing power of our "take home" pay. We have approximate ly IS per cent taken off before we get that pay check home, which leaves us with about the same in dollars as we had in 1889. No doubt some of these Congressmen who voted themselves 100 per cent in- creases will try to persuade us that everything is O. K. because every body and every company pays in- creased income taxes.
 Any worker who can take his mind off baseball and beer for ten minutes can answer that one. Per- sonally, I lay awake at night wish ing belonged in the income tax bracket where I would have to pay the Internal Revenue Collector $10,0O0 instead of the measly $500 he got last year. Boy, I would still. have plenty left to take day off and go fishing. would like to plant

There is neither Divinity nor ex- actitude in economic law. Econ- omics is not an exact science. The academic. pros and cons of economic values and their relation to one an- other is something WE do not, nec- essarily have to give exhaustive study to, ecause we, as workers, know first hand some of the an- swers, and we don't like the way they work out.
 Let US try working back to the problem from the answer and see if it cannot be made more simple, yes, and the solution more in keep ing with the aims of true democ- racy.
 Suppose we eliminate the dollar standard in measuring wages; it has no real value as measuring stick because of fluctuations that affect it. Instead let us consider the pur- chasing power of our TAKE HOME" pay against the purchasing power of our pre-war "Take Home" pay.
 A first class mechanic at the E. B., for instance, has $1.20 an hour today as against $1.00 in 1889. Ap- proximately the same ratio applies everywhere in the U. S. A. Can you go out and buy for $1.20 today, what you bought for $1.00 in 1889?

Turbine Concern Added to Roster

York, Pa. - Exclusive bargain ing rights for members of the shop clerical force of the s. Morgan Smith Co.,, manufacturer of tur- pines, have been secured by the Office. Employees International Union.
 The campaign among the work CTS. conducted by an active com- mittee assisted by AFL Organizer Robert A. Warner, was so success ful that stipulation recognizing the exclusive bargaining rights of the union was obtained from manage ment.
 Hutchings and Warner have been meeting with the group, which is preparing to apply for local char ter, and has named a committee to work with the temporary officers in drafting 8 proposed working agreement for presentation to the company.
 It is anticipated that this first bona fide organization of office workers in the York area, which was achieved with the cooperation and support of Machinists District Lodge 98 and Business Representa- tive R. R. Ebersoie, will greatly stimulate interest among the hun- dreds of employees of other York concerns.

3O%o Increase vs Production Cost

Let us look this thing over because individual units of great labor organization ought to try to understand just what ourorganizaon is doing for The against the 30 get in the press and the rado by alleged expert economists and hide bound partisan po tcians The latter group recently themselves 1OO increase in pay but in spite of that fact of them can twist economic values to show that 3O% increase for the workers to insure fair standard of living, would destroy our whole social order.

Wisdom from the Great!

The following are thoughts that are good for all Union men to re- member:
 Tt has been my experience in public life that there are few prob- lens which cannot be worked out, if we make real effort to under stand the other fellows viewpoint and if we try to find solution on the basis of give and take, of fair ness to both sides,' = President Harry s. Truman (from his address of October 30th, 1945).
 We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang sep eratelyw-Benjamin Franklin.

this little thought seeding in the fertile soil of labor'S growing in- terest-a mans sacrifice should be judged by what he has left after he pays his income tax, and not by what he pays.
 Now to the mechanics of the 30 per cent and what it will do to pro- duction costs. This 30 per cent is based on g hours pay for 40 hours work. Now first off the 52 hours was paid for 48 hours work on the production line, so production costs are only affected on that score to 20 per cent. There are other fac- tors that still further reduce the supposed 30 per cent increase in production costs. For instance, at the Electric Boat, as at most other manufacturing companies, when the second and third shifts are eliminated they have seven per cent reduction which reduces the production costs on every hour worked by that percentage of men reassigned to day work. Then again any organization built around a 40 hour work week incurs addi- tional overhead when it goes on 48 hours; that also affects production costs.
 Lastly, 1t is usually found that the hourly production on 40 hour week is greater than on a 48-hour week. Time and motion study ex- perts attribute this to what they call "the fatigue element" Now I think it is quite fair to estimate that 30 per cent increase could not possibly mean any more than a IS per cent increase in production costs.
 We have to go back now to the theory of economic values that tells us that wages have very def finite relationship to prices. If those commodities which are the necessities Of life have gone up in price more than Is per cent since 1889. (and who would dare dis pute they have) then prices must either come down to 1889 levels, or wages must go up to leave Ameri- can labor as well off as it was in 1889.
 Unless the purchasing power of Americas greatest consumer group the industria, worker-is held at a good healthy level, the reduced purchasing is going to immediately be felt, because of the transition from war industry to peace indus try that is now taking place. That accelerator of business slump - Hack of confidence"-would not, as is usual, cause tapering off, but would be more likely to start a headlong dive towards depression. To us that means less security and more unemployment. To industry it means less security and less prof. 1t. To all of us it means social un- rest.
 The paradox of scarcity in land of plenty and in world seething with economic discontent would seem to be revolutionary dynamite.
 A 30 per cent increase at this time will not usher in any kind of a Golden Age for labor. All it can possibly do is to take us back to approximately the pre-war stand ards, the Marines, the Gobs, the Doughboys and the Air Corps trust ed us with defending while they were holding in check our enemies without. We cannot, we dare not, expect these returning veterans to accept lower standard of living in their homeland than they en- joyed before they went away. And rest assured, fellow workers, we cannot kid them with words and fine phrases. Therefore we must at least hold our pre-war standards and the 30 per cent will do no more than that.

District Heads Defend
Change in Inspection
OF Rooming Houses

Protests over transfer OF rooming
house health inspection from the
Health Department to the Building
Inspection Division brought the dis
closure yesterday that the Com
missioners have rejected a congress
sional request for reconsideration
and public hearing on the issue.
The proposal for reconsideration
and a hearing came from Senator
McCarran, Democrat, of Nevada,
acting on protests filed with him
by the Washington Housing Asso-
citation.
In reply, Commissioner John Rus
sell Young contended that no change
In health standards is involved. He
held that only proceduraI change
was made and that, therefore, the
city heads felt public hearing was
not necessary. Elimination of du-
plication of inspection, he said, was
the main consideration in the move.

-,----a H. Reconsideration OF tilei-
April order. He made the point
the changes were ordered without
public hearing and added:
1T is not my purpose either to
question the authority of the COM
missioners to change these regula-
tions nor, at this time, to make any
representations with regard to the
specific changes made, except to
make clear my feeling that since
the original regulations were the re-
suit of public hearing, it might be
deemed only proper that public
hearings should be held on the
changes"
Would Increase Confidence.
If new hearings were ordered, he
said, "the action would be acclaimed
widely throughout the District and
would tend to increase the conf
dence of the people in the Board of
Commissioners"
In reply, Commissioner Young
wrote on September % it is by an
act of Congress, not regulation, that
the building inspector is required
to inspect all premises to be used
as rooming houses and to certify
that they comply with provisions of
the Building Code.
Prior to action by the Commits
sioners in April" he continued, in
spectors Of the Health Department
also were required to inspect, in
addition to matters pertaining. to
health, for compliance with certain
provisions of the Building Code.
1T was only to correct this dupli-
cation of inspections that the reg
ulations were changed. AS there is
no change in health standards, it
was not considered necessary to hold
public hearings"
