provide jobs, but it will continue to
strive for it's goal of full employment.
Also, it will work towards placing
veterans in the kind of position they
desire.
The disabled veteran presents a
special problem. In his case jobs must
be analyzed, individual capacities
studied and placements made where
he may be happy in the knowledge
that he is contributing to society and
not depending on it.
Gen. Omar Bradley has pointed out
that more and more readjustment CEN
ters for veterans will be required as
rehabilitation progresses. The Amer
ican Federation of Labor executive
council foresaw this year ago. 1t
directed its 900 Central Bodies to
form special committees to help vet
Grams find employment, and stimulate
concerted action by the community in
establishing veterans centers. The
Labor League for Human Rights urg-
ed similar action and assisted in set
ting up the committees.
Today, the results of this planning
and direction are bearing fruit. Not
only have great numbers of central
bodies set up their own veterans COM
mittees, with liaison representatives to
community readjustment centers-but
in many instances operate their own
centers.
In Los Angeles the AFL Veterans
Employment and Rehabilitation Ser
vice is handling more cases than any
other similar agency in that city
Since Jan. l, 1945, this labor center
has handled hundreds Of cases each
| month. A recent survey of services
given include 658 job placements, 900
instances of apprentice training and
1,570 services in job, vocational coun-
selling and personal analysis.

challenge the facilities of all existing
readjustment centers. The Labor

W AGE
HIKE in CHALLENGING
WORDS TO CONGRESS

Washington, D. C.-President Tru-
man declared in his annual message
to Congress that American business
can afford and should pay "substan-
tial" wage increases to labor.
To set industry a good example,
the President urged Congress to in
crease the pay of government en-
ployes and to vote an immediate boost
in minimum wage levels from 40 to
65 cents an hour.
The President emphasized that
wage increases in private industry
should be negotiated through collec-
tive bargaining. He also pressed for
prompt action on full employment
legislation, social security improve
ments, higher unemployment compen-
sation and insurance against medical
costs.
Full employment and increased
production, Mr.. Truman said, are the
only safeguards against the disaster
of initiation and consequent depres-
sion. He warned that another de-
preston in this country would upset
the entire world economy.
Deploring work stoppages, the
President called upon management
and labor to settle their disputes
through collective bargaining. He also
reiterated his request for fact-finding
legislation.
Private capital and private man
agement," the President said in his
message, "are entitled to adequate
reward for efficiency, but business
must recognize that it's reward re-
suits from the employment of the re-
sources of the nation.
Business is a public trust and must
adhere to national standards in the
conduct of its affairs. These stand
ards include as a minimum the estab-
lishment of fair wages and fair en-
ployment practices. Labor also has
its own new peacetime responsible
ties. Under our collective bargaining
system, which must become progress
sively more secure, labor attains, in
creasing political as well as economic
power and this, as with all power,
menus increased responsibility"

AFL STARTS DRIVE

Washington, d. C. - A double

ion for action to deal with the i'm
mediate housing emergency and for
enactment of the Wagner-Ellender-
Taft bill to meet the nations long
range housing needs was announced
by AFL President William Green.
Mr.. Green called upon AFL Cen
tral Labor Unions in 800 cities
throughout the country to take the
lead in organizing community CAM
paigns for prompt construction OF
new homes to meet the acute short
ages confronting returning veterans
and war workers.
Mobilization for more and better
housing is the most vital step in AM
erica's mobilization for peace and re-
covery," Mr.. Green said.
His action followed White House
conference with Federal Housing Ex-
pediter Wilson Wyatt, at which Mr..
Green was accompanied by the AFL
Housing Committee.

Dor stands ready to cooperate fully
with Mr.. Wyatt in the emergency
program to meet the housing crisis
which affects almost every American

World security will strengthen
democratic tendencies inside Russia
Harold d. Lasswell says in research
paper prepared by the Committee for
Economic Development Research Di-
vision, just published by the McGraw-
Hill Book Co. The author is the direc-
tor of war communications research
for the Library of Congress.
Entitled "World Politics Faces
Economics" the paper offers, in part,
an analysis of the political and eco-
nomic factors involved in preventing
World War III. Emphasis is placed on
the Importance of Russia and America
as the worlds bi-polar powers. Efforts
of other nations to achieve security
will move them into the orbit of one
or the other of these two powers.
Both Russia and America proclaim
the dignity and worth Of the indi-
vidual," but the achievement of this
democratic ideal depends on the solu-
tion of two quite different problems,
one political and one economic, Lass
well points out.
Russia's problem is to modify an all
encompassing bureaucratic dictator
ship into flexibly balanced society,
says Lasswell. "Russia needs to move
from Capitalization into decentraliza-
tion, from dictatorship to democracy,
from regimented communication to
free communication" he declares.
Americas problem, on the. other
hand, sis to achieve more stable eco
nomic basis for freedom. We have
many elements of balance in our in
stitutions. But what we have of free
dom is imperiled at frequent inter-
walls by theresults of economic inse-
curity and, over longer periods, by the
inroads upon genuine business enter
prise of economic restrictionism."

WASHINGTON, Jan.
Is - Philip Murray, CIO
president, met in emer-
gency session with lead
ers of the UAW-CIO here
today to prepare an an
swer to President Tru-
mans proposal that the
steel wage conflict be set
tied for 1872 cents an
hour.
Murray's answer, along
with that of the u. S. cteel
Corp, was to be delivered to
the President at noon today
at the White House.
Acceptance by both the COM
pany and union would avert a
threatening strike of 100000 steel
workers set for Sunday night.
MAY LOWER FIGURE
1t might also set a pattern for
the automotive industry where a
similar wage dispute has kept
General Motors Corp. idle for
nine weeks and threatens both
Chrysler Corp. and the Ford Mo
tor Co.
Although Murray has been
standing firm for the 1914 cents
an hour for his steel workers,
there were indications here that
the union would probably accept
the cent lower figure.
Reaction OF the steel industry
was not Immediately clear. It's
