For wages, it means fixing
them so that even the War La
bor Board has trouble when 1t
wants to raise them, which ism I
often. For prices, stabillzlng
means letting them go up, pillng
profits on profits, every time
some pressure group can find
some new, complicated sound
ing reason for pushing them up
And these millions of men
and women are beginning to
catch on that what this stabillz-
ing adds up to is-the old run
around.
STABILIZING WORKERS
That's what the steel workers
have been getting since they
first asked for a tic per hour
increase over a year ago. They
have finally gotten a WLB dl-
rective ordering adjustments
which will cost the steel in
dustry about 7c per hour when
they are put into effect. That
much un-stabilizing, it seems,
the economy could stand. How
ever. even before it puts these
adjustments into effect, the steel
industry has already been given
PRICE increases which Will
bring in about So million more
than the wage adjustments Will
cost-and the steel industry was
already making more than 4
times its prewar profits.
The textile workers have
been getting the same kind of
stabilizing, and they're even
worse off than the steel work
ers. They asked for a raise of
1Oc for workers getting soc per
hour. The WLB finally decided
that the stabilization program
could stand a SC per hour in
crease, but no more. But even
this raise has not yet been put
into effect, because the industry
would demand a price increase.
1t would get it even though 1t
is already making twelve times
its prewar profits.
Q know that this list isn't
complete, but let these examples
stand for all the rest of you
who are getting the same kind
of stabilizing, so that we can
get on with the story.
The workers who are getting
this kind of stabilizing are pay
ing for it now. But very soon
the whole country will pay the
price for it. For sometime soon
the fascist axis is going to break
apart, right in the middle. Wher
that happy day comes, millions
of men and women are going tc

SCRANTON, Pa, LPA)-
Workers here can show you
10000 reasons why the nation

,r wages that 1t means Tor prices.
Join the thousands who are al.
ready out of work, and the cry
for jobs will go up.
Many of these millions will
find that, for them, there are no
Jobs. Because jobs depend on
customers, and customers de-
pend on money and the wage
rates now being paid are going
to be too low to provide the
money which will be needed to
support the so million jobs our
people will have to have.
All of a sudden we're going
to be faced with the fact that
we lost a golden opportunity to
bring prices and wages into bal
ance while the war was on. Only
by holding prices down now and
bringing wages up to meet them
could we avoid new and ter
rifle postwar depression.
STERILIZATION THAT
UNSTABILIZES
The conviction that there is
something wrong with that kind
of stabilization is growing on
lot of people. But they still are
haunted by the fear that infla-
ton would come about if more
money were to be put into cir
culation through wage increases.
1t might be that, while we're
worrying about initiation, the
country is getting ready to slide
down deep deflationnary
roller-coaster. But even if infla-
tion is still a threat, why do we
make the lowpaid worker the
goat? Why stabilize him on less
than his share of the available
goods and services while the
big money family is left free to
spend as much of its money as
it feels willing and able to
spend? Why is 1t wrong for the
man who works in the factory
to put away a few dollars while
it's right for the stockholders
to pile up record highs in div
idends and the corporations can
put away reserves such as they
never dreamed of before?
THE COMING DEFLATION
But the deflation that l men
toned above really bothers me.
When the government orders
stop coming in, the plants are
going to have to depend on the
purchasing power of the people
to keep them going. Most pur-
chasing power comes from
wages, and the present hourly
wage rates will supply little
more than two-thirds the pur-
chasing power that will be
needed to support full employ
ment.
Outside of an occasional ar
ticle in some government mag
azine, there is almost nothing to
show that the government
agencies, or Congress either, is
ready to tackle the problem.
Two things have to be done;
get wages up and prepare the
public works to provide jobs
for those who can't find them
in industry. Neither of these is
being done. And quite soon
millions of us will have to pay
the price because business can't
plan and government won't.
The only way l can see to at,
tack the problem is to try to
awaken the Congressman to the
dangers that lie just ahead. Per-
haps they can stock the Presi-
dent of the United States and
his executive agencies into re-
alizing that, by doing nothing,
they are betraying the faith of
those who died in the war and
the hopes of those who will still

Spending
Your Buck
Local IL Research Dept.

At last some figures have been
released on the joint program
of OPA and WPB designed to
roll back costs and increase the
supply of low and medium
priced clothing.
Ceiling prices have been set
on some cotton garments in
what OPA describes as the first
step toward a contemplated roll
back in clothing prices of from
6 to percent.
Clothing prices which have
shown more of an increase than
any other item in the workers
budget have long been one of
labor's major problems in its
fight to roll back living costs.
A 7 percent roll back while it
is a step in the right direction
seems inadequate, to say the
least, in the face of figures COM
piled by the Office of Civilian
Requirements WPB. These fig
ures show the low income con-
sumner paying So percent more
for standard items of clothing
in 1914 than in 1941.
This report, prepared but as
yet unpublished, bases its find
ingS on a survey of consumers
actual expenditures for cloth
ing. Increased costs were COM
puted for clothing purchases of
families at the same income
level in 1914 as in 1941.
PHONY FIGURES
Why this report has not been
published can perhaps be ex-
planned by the BIS cost of liv-
ing index which registers only
a 27 percent increase in cloth
ing prices from 1941 to early
1914. War Labor Board findings
are based on BIS index and
labor's demands for revision of
the little steel formula have
been countered with phoney
figures from this index. which
even WLB admits contains in
accuracieS.
OPA says some relief in the
clothing situation should become
evident by early summer. How
ever, viewing the past record of
the textile companies for STALL
ing and even outright non-com-
pliance, it is doubtful if any real
relief will be felt before fall, if
then. Labor must be alert to see
that ceilings are enforced and
that the roll back becomes a
fact. Continued pressure must
be brought to bear on agencies
in Washington for further roll
backs.
