Changes in
Wages
BY Robert J. Watt
AFL Representative on. NWLB

Signs are multiplying that the
federal government will soon adopt
a new spolciy on wages. It's about
time. Since the war the federal gov
eminent has been regulating with
a firm hand the wage rates of Am
erican workers. The government
has not only settled disputes over
pay, but it has taken upon itself
the authority to tell an employer
that he couldn't grant his employ
ees an increase in pay, even if he
wanted to. The purpose of this
unusual degree of government
regulation was to avoid wartime in
flation and thus help win the war.
With that purpose organized labor
agreed.
But now we are emerging from
that wartime economy and entering
a new reconverSion period. Instead
of initiation, we are faced with de-
fIation. Instead of q scarcity of
workers, we may soon have wide
spread unemployment. That's why
a new wage policy is imperative.
The fight against initiation may
be likened to adjusting the flow of
gas for an automobile. Too much
gas and the engine will race. Too
little gas and the motor will stall.
While unemployment and de-
cline in purchasing power are on
the way, there is still no sign of
lower prices. This means the ma
tons production motor is bound to
stall unless more gas is fed to it
quickly in the form of increased
wages and consumer buying power.
The American Federation of La
Dor has been petitioning the gov
eminent for over year to adjust
basic wage rates. We have recon-
mended that the government keep
hands off collective bargaining
whenever an employer and his
employees can reach agreement on
wages without increasing prices to
the public.
While it may be necessary dur
ing war to maintain control over
disputes, American Federation of
Labor believes that when men and
management agree, collective bar
gaining should be given free field.
Profits of business are great enough
to finance collectively -bargained
wage increases.
Tough times are ahead unless la
Dor and management work together
for their own salvation and the
public interest.
Business will suffer as well as

u. s. Senator from Wyoming

Involuntary unemployment must
not be tolerated In the postwar
world if we hope to prevent anoth-
er depression. When the govern
ment stops buying the products of
the farm and the factory for the
purposes of war we shall be face
to face with another collapse I'M
less we undertake by constructive
and intelligent action to provide
full employment. All business, all
agriculture, all industry depends
upon it. For If people cannot pur-
chase the goods and the services
the nation Is capable of producing,
business will go into another tail
spin.
The last depression cost the
business men of America 1856, 00O,-
100000 in sales. It cost the farmers
billions in income and corporations
billions in profit. The cost of the
depression was actually greater
than the war debt.
The full employment bill, of which
I am happy to be one of the spon-
sorS, is not q bill to provide only
industrial jobs. 1t Is a bill to pre-
vent business depression.
It rests upon the firm basis of
fact that the best market for the
business men Of America is to be

found among the people at the bot
tom of the economic scale.
The total income of the people
who in 1914 received less than
$4,000 a year was three times great
err than the total income of every
body who received $4,000 year
or more. There were more than
100000 persons receiving less
than $4,000 year and only $4,000
receiving more than $4,000. OBJ
viously the 100000, if they are
steadily employed, can buy more
food, more clothing, even more
luxurieS than those at the top Of
the economic scale. For 100000
at the bottom have a total income
vastly greater than the total in
come of those at the top.
The economic history of the
country proves that every war has
been followed by depression. The
full employment bill is a bill to
prevent a depression after this
war.
Industry acting alone has never
in the past been able to prevent
depressionS. Government must now
assume the responsibility, not by
regimenting the people but by CO.
ordinating all economic activity so
that opportunities for employment
shall be extended to every person
capable and willing to work.

Labor Advances

1t is hard for an ordinary human
being to grasp the meaning of the
newly discovered atomic power
which was so dramatically dis
closed to the American people this
week. Only history will reveal the
gigantic effects which this new in
vention will have upon the world.
Yesterday a complete city was
wiped out by this new atomic
might. Tomorrow it can bring peace
and light and a higher standard of
living to the whole world. There
is no doubt that it has revolution
lied world science. This new split
ting atom may be used one day to
run our ocean liners, aeroplanes,
radios, and countless other devices.
1t opens up new fields, new oppor-
tunitieS, new challenges. A whole
new continent in the field of
science has been discovered.
But while the new atomic power
opens up potentialities for greater
good in the world it also unleashes
potentialities for evil. Thank God
this secret did not belong to the
Nazis or japanese. If it did it is
possible that the whole world
would have been destroyed by now
Fortunately it is in our hands to-
day and we are debating the terms
of peace to the NaZiS and Japan.
csc. Such a weapon in fascist hands
would bring nothing but devaSta-
ton to the world. That is why it is
of the utmost importance that the
proper controls be exacted so that
atomic power will never be in the
hands of sundemocratic nations.
Most of all this new weapon must
be handled through world coopera-
ton TO assure that it will never in
volve us in another war.
The efforts of many people have
been combined to bring us atomic
power. The brains of science to-
gether with management and labor
helped produce this new miracle.
Many AFL members working in
government plants had a direct
hand in the production of atomic
power. And just as many hands and
brains brought us this new agency
of mechanical power so should we
insure Its use to bring q better life
to all people.

Chapter 2

saturday 6 pm. to Glib p.m.l
WHEN Frank was gone Julia
w paced unevenly back and
forth across the floor, her sandals
silent on the white goatskin rug.
At the west end of the room was
4 spinet of blonde mahogany in
recessed rectangle. A vigorous
modern statue on a pedestal stood
at the back CT the piano and faced
the room. At the opposite end was
a circular fireplace built in the
wall Ike a portfolio, the lower
half encased in silver mesh and
holding lighted glass Goals. The
upper semi-circle was an opening
into the dining room. When she
walked toward the fireplace
.Julia's steps slackened as she
watched through the opening for
a glimpse of Moore. He had to
pass the fireplace to come into the
salon.
Her first reaction to Franks
announcement that Grace and
Alma were coming had been the
impulse to flee. She had married
Robey because of her inbred sense
of gratitude. He had saved her
life and she could not refuse the
only thing he asked. The memory
of that moment of terror when
she had fallen from the platform
of a subway station to the track
below came back too wildly for
her ever to forget the debt. It had
taken sheer courage to leap after
her and drag her to safety In the
face of an oncoming train. Only
Robey of all that stricken mob
had possessed it.
Whenever the strangeness of
her married life threatened to
overwhelm her and her desire to
get away became almost unbear-
able she relived that stark mo-
ment she had lost all contact with
reason and was sunk in a delir-
ium of fear. Even now, knowing
that Robey planned some new hu-
initiation to crafty his appetite
for drama, she could not desert
him. It was probably that same
characteristic that had brought
him to her rescue. She was begin
ming to believe It was his craving
for publicity that had made him
insist on their marriage. The pa
perS had been full of stories about
the heroic rescue of an unknown
girl by the Prince of Broadway
When he had married the same
girl, the headlines had rung with
the triumph Of romance. Julia's
surprising beauty had seemed {
smashing coincidence and il made
pictures a joy for the tabloidS
The great room with its mas.
sive modern furniture made he

while she hung on the handles be-
tween her and the carriage. The
little girl in plaid jacket swing
ing roller skates was little Julie
in grade school, happy and be-
loved. The men leaning against
the park wall waiting
With a sudden start, she recog-
nized Robey as one of the loung-
ers standing almost directly across
from the door of the apartment
house.
There was no mistaking the
arrogance of his carriage and the
slight fiamboyancy of his brown
sport suit and hat. He wasn't tall
but his rough blond head was
spectacular. His body was well
built, tapering from wide shoul-
ders to narrow hip3 and giving a
sense of balance and power. Once
she had thought she would learn
to know the person back of his
pale eyes and the disturbing emo
tional voice but now she knew he
was forever hidden behind voice
and gestures that were ruled sole
ly for the effect they could
create.
Her slender fingers were white
against the binoculars and she did
not feel the increasing violence
of the uncertain wind that licked
her bare arms and held the chit
fon gown against her body like a
shifting mold.
A WOMAN coming along the
~ street stepped up to Robey
and Julia saw them talking. The
woman was almost as tall as he
and wore a black dress that the
wind jerked as a child viii pull
at its mothers skirts. A revealed
/ red petticoat matched the purse
and the hat that sat pertly on her
/ creamy cOlored hair cut Garbo-
fashion. Julia didn't remember
ever seeing her before.
/ She took something from her
large red purse and gave it to
Robey. He looked at it briefly,
scribbled a line on it with a pen
Gil from his pocket and put it
away carefully in his billfold.
With a hasty glance to each side,
he handed the woman some
money from the leather case.
Quickly she damned the roll into
the purse and stepped into the
street, regardless of the heavy
traffic.
When she was halfway across,
Julia saw a gust of wind, in1u-
enced by some cyclonic past, pick
the red hat from the woman's
head and toss it to the top Of a
passing cab. The long curls waved
IN the wind as If in farewell. The
woman heSitated, then dashed on,
no doubt realizing the futility of
running after the Grant hat. The
cab continued toward Sixth ave-
nue. with the hat perversely cling
ing to the top.
/ Instead of amusement at the
antic of the wind, Julia had 3
feeling of irreparable loss.
