Labor is Concerned
The sudden removal of ration
ing restrictions on all meats, fats
and oils by Anderson was also
the subject of sharp criticism by
labor and consumer representa-
tives here. They are especially
concerned because, at least in the
initial announcement by Ander-
son, there is no hard and fast
assurance that these foods, urg-
emily needed by the people OF
Europe, will be available to them
in anything like adequate
amounts.
On the removal of subsidies,
even the Wall st. Journal said
in a news story, sit will bring
the overall cost of food to the
highest point since 1920, when
soaring food prices brought ma
tion-wide parades and protests
against the high cost of living" "
Despite protestations by Stab
ilization Administrators Collet
that the subsidies can be re-
moved without any increase in
the overall cost of food, a secret
study done by the Dept, of Agri-
culture and the OPA lists some
of the actual price boosts that
will take place by next summer.
Meat will cost 1872 to 25%
more; canned vegetables will
cost the consumer 10h to 1879
more; bread will cost III more,
and butter will cost 40l2 more.
Milk will cost 90 more, and

Congress Wrecks
Full Jobs Bill

w A S II N G. I IN, Nov. 26
(LPA)-Rep. Carter Manasco
3D., Ala) has made good his
threat that the full employment
bill, backed by all sections of
organized labor, will come to the
floor of the House of Represen-
tatives as anything but a full
employment bill.
Still buried in a House Ex-
penditures, the measure as now
rewritten is a completely dis
embowled edition of the bill
that labor supported when it
was first demanded by the Ad-
ministration. Manasco fulfilled
his promise that at will not be
full employment bill"
After the legislation, which
was seriously weakened before
it passed the Senate, reaches
the full House committee next
week it will go to the floor
where supporters of the original
bill will have an opportunity to
offer amendments which can re-
store some of its original
strength.
Change of Title
The full import of Manasco's
rape of the legislation is evil
denced in its change of title.
Originally it was called: "An
Act to establish a national
policy and program for assur-
ing continuing full employ
ment." Coming out of the sub
committee-to which Manasco
appointed himself chairman-it
will be named: can Act to de-
clare a national policy and pro-
gram to promote high levels OF
employment" :"
The hight of American work
ers to a job and the responsible
ity of the Federal government
to assure employment when pri-
vate industry fails was knitted
out of the bill. Instead, the new
measure INDUCES in vacuous
phrases, echoing the traditional
programs of the Natl Association
of Manufacturers and the Cham
Der of Commerce. The bill calls
for encouraging individual en-
terpriSe the American eco
nomic system of free capitalistiC
enterprises !" and avoiding
competition between govern
ment and private business"

Majority Or
Minority
BY Ruth Taylor

/ wish it were. possible to
eradicate those two words from
the English language-but un-
fortunately, if one could do this,
other words would be thought
up to express the same idea.
There should be no place for
such discriminatory words in a
democracy. And, mind you, they
are discriminatory, and of them
selves are creating bad feeling
and prejudice.
Majorities feel that their very
numbers entitle them to supreme
power, that their interests as a
group must come first. Minori-
ties too often place the privilege
of their group before the rights
of all citizens. In both cases far
too frequently those rise to the
top, to positions of power, who
seek personal aggrandizement
and who by their actions hurt
the group which they claim to
represent.
DIFFERENT
The majority looks upon the
minority as not quite as they
areas something different from
the herd-and they don't like
that. Minorities for their part too
often have a chip on their shoul-
der. When banded together for
"self-protection" they become g
powerful pressure force which is
irritating to the majority. And
much too frequently both sides
forget that they are Americans
governed by the same laws, ano
subject to the same response
bility. The labor bloc, the public
utility bloc, the farm bloc, etc.
when they put their own in
dividual ambitions to the from
and forget the nations needs
are un-American.
This is equally true whether
the difference be of politica
party, class, religion or color
what is more, in each of those
groups there are minorities anc
maiorities. 1t is the whole idea
of segregation and separation o.
people into groups, or classes
treating them generally, not in
dividually that we have beer
fighting. In the brave new
world for which we hope, let u!
guard against group thinking
Let us remember that we are al
citizens of nation, and citizen!
of a world of United Nations.
Let us-majority and minority
work together as individual!
regardless of the group from
which we come. Let us accep
our personal responsibilities anC
fulfill them before we star
fighting about our rights. Let u
prove what we are, forgetting
whether we be minority or ma
iority. Just let us only be Amer
leans all.
