SHORT .JABS

One of the immediate postwar goals
is an adequate housing program. Be
sides Kidding the nation of its stun
areas, such a program would pro
vide millions of jobs in all industries
1t is one of the key points in oul
drive for full employment
How do we get an adequate hous
ing program? The National Housing
Agency, reporting on the current sit
uation, states: "Pre-war low-rent prof
ects suspended during the war total
some $4,000 units -. about one third
are in war-congested areas and may
be eligible for construction under the
program to relieve wartime conges-
ton. AND ADDITIONAL LOW-RENT
PUBLIC HOUSING WILL DEPEND
ON CONGRESSIONAL ACTION. y
Congress holds the answer.
Wallace Stegner, writing in a re-
cent issue of the New Republic, pin
points the need for political action in
destroying all traces of racial hatred
and prejudice. Debunking claims
that the people of California are gull
ty of assaults on relocated Japanese
Americans, Stegner fatty states:
ct is not the people of California
who should have to take immediate
responsibility. The people of Califor-
mia (who, because they have come
from all over the country, are fair
cross section of the people of Amer
ica) are guilty of the common Amer
lean crime THEY ARE GUILTY OF
HAVING ELECTED A CERTAIN
NUMBER OF PREJUDICED, IGNOR-
ANT AND VENAL PUBLIC OFF,
GALS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICERS"
Labor has taken leading part in
the formation of Regional Commit
tee for Missouri Valley Authority,
similar to the successful IVA opera
ton. A recent conference found both
clio and AFL, joining with farm or
CARNATIONS in providing leadership for
t h e movement The conference
adopted a resolution calling for
drive to obtain one million signatures
from Missouri Valley citizens favor
ing establishment of the MVA.

OTHER SIDE OF THE RAILROAD
MANPOWER PROBLEM

riers are charging that our efforts to
relieve the conditions that drive work
ers from the railroad industry are
only efforts to extend "featherbed-
ding. 1t is such attitudes on the
part of employing interests that bring
about the most encouraging election
results recently experienced in Eng
land
Briefly, what are some Of the griev-
ances and hardships railroad workers
endure, while the carriers would have
the public believe that these workers
earn their pay by lying on feather
beds? In the first place, railroad
workers in many parts of the country
would be glad to have any kind of
bed on which to rest from their ardu-
GUS wartime duties, which entail end
less hours of work, with brief rest
periods; with inadequate, if not tot
ally absent, eating and sleeping
places; with no extra pay for Sun
days and holidays, or nightwork; with
no sick leave with pay; with no ade-
quate time off to rest, except on doc
tors orders; with countless hours
held away from their homes and fam
lilies, most of which are without pay;
with the employers requirements that
they wear uniforms and expensive
watches and pay for both the uni
forms and watches and for their clean
ing and upkeep.
Countless communications come to
my office from our members in which
those and many other grievances are
related, with the advice that newly
hired men soon leave the railroads
because they can obtain better pay
and better working conditions else
where. 1t is demoralizing and shame
full for the employers of the victims
of these sorry conditions to utilize an
extravagant propaganda machine in
an attempt to make the public believe
that railroad workers are "featherbed-
ders'. To a railroad worker who can
not even obtain a bed at his away
trombone resting point, it is some
thing more than demoralizing and
shameful is downright temper in
