Building Trades In On Ground Floor

DETROIT-(FP)-"If wage con- ditions in basic manufacturing indus tries are adjusted upwards" says Bus. Man. Ed Thai of the Detroit Bldg. Trades Council, Tt is foregone con- clusion that the building trades me chanics will also ask for similar ad- justments.
 In Michigan the basic manufactur- ing industry is auto, where the United Auto Workers have already given notice of reopening the Chrysler Corp wage structure and the same recently at the Packard Motor Car Co.
 In General Motors, largest auto em- ployer, wages cannot be touched this year and the same is true of Ford.

of security which allows a man tC make his maximum contribution to his family, community and na ton.
 T submit to you that these two groups are in sharp opposition to eact other. The future history of Connecti- cut and of this country will depend largely on the outcome of this con- f1ict. Let no one have any doubt about that
 WHICH SHALL PREVAIL?
 The issue is simple and direct Which shall prevail, the welfare of the people, or the welfare of the cer- tain interests? Being one of them am on the side of the majority. And make no mistake about it. I want the people to win. I feel the clock of social justice cannot be turned back There may be delays, Interruptions and set backs. But there is no power on earth, no matter how many millions of dollars are behind it, which can stop our American democracy from reaching the full flower of its devel- opment. Franklin Roosevelt showed us the goal we are striving for. He started us on our way. There is nc turning back, unless we want to return to the days of Harding, Coolidge. and Hoover. I don't think we do.
 "The welfare of this country de- bends on whether our laws are de signed for the benefit of the general population, or for the few. It depends on whether we are willing to drift into depressiohs, or are prepared to plan within the framework of our ex- isting democratic economy, to avoid the cycle of boom and bust.
 AFRAID OF PROGRESS
 Those who are afraid of progress, who insist on the status quo, want to drift.
 "I say to you that the Republican Party has no positive program de- signed to prevent another great de- pressiOn. It has no program de- signed to reduce human suffering because of economic conditions.
 ssThe Republicans are opposed to genuine Full Employment Law 1; to real Minimum Wage Law; to a National Health Insurance Law which would go far toward provid- ing to every American family, in- surance against the financial disas- ter which results from illness, ac- cident, or disability. They bitterly oppose a national system of unem- ployment insurance, which has the double purpose of preventing de- pressions and protecting unem-
