THE UNION LABEL

THE Union Label formula has been and will re-
main the best economic program for al
American workers. The returning victory veteran
IS rapidly discovering that fact. When he seeks 9
Job he finds that the wages offered by sweatshOr
employers are so low, even though he is single he
would not have enough income to live in decency
He would therefore have greater difficulty in sup
porting family.
With all the wartime postwar planning by
so-called experts" who cost the taxpayers mil
lions OF dollars, not one proposal to solve our eco
nonic and industrial problems came out of the
the numerous governmental agencies, made up
planners" They prepared
volumes OF handouts for the press, and talked a
lot over the radio networks, but to date no one
has witnessed any definite results.
Management of industry meeting with repre-
sentatives of bona fide labor unions, without inter-
ference of governmental "supermen" can do more
to solve our economic problems and industrial dis
putes than they can when dominated by bureau
cratic controls set up by administrators who have
no practical experience and cannot carry out a
plan, If submitted to them.
The Labor-Uuon-Labe plan is the most prac-
tical one. When workers receive union wages and
spend their union-earned money for only Union
goods and use only Union Ser
vices, union labor receives better wages and union
employers make greater profits under our Ameri-
can economic system.
If this unon-made purchasing power is not
used to patrOniZe only union manufacturers, fair
and other union business firms
wages do not mean much. If some men,
bers of trade unions and their families spend their
dollars across merchants counters
for sweatshOp goods, they uncOnscOuSly set upl
competition for union employers; they certainly
ruin chances for higher labor union standards );
and definitely create unemployment for fellow
trade unionists.

NO COMPROMISE POSSIBLE

| ABOR has fought from the beginning for the
enjoyment of the right to organize into free
equal terms with employers. 1t cannot afford to
compromise upon these fundamental principles
Through its steadfast devotion to this line of pro
cedure, organized labor has established itself a
vital force in the economic and industrial life of
the nation. 1t has mobized its economic strength
and through the exercise of its power, strength
and influence has served to promote the economic
and social welfare of the working men and women
of our country.
We cannot accept regimented economic phil
osophy formulated and imposed upon the workers
by the government Instead, we insist and demand
that labor shall be accorded the right to form its
own unions, to consolidate and utilize its resources
and its economic strength in conformity with de-
mocratic principles and procedure.
Freedom and liberty are just as essential to
the welfare of the workers as the -Four Freedoms
are all the people of our own country and all
others throughout the world

PUBLIC WANTS PRICE CONTROL

CONGRESSMEN who are toying with the ides
of letting price-control die in June are flirting
with defeat. If they want to go back to Wash
ington after November, they would do well t(
study the recent polls taken to determine what the
people think about OPA. While nobody thinks the
OPA or the price control laws perfect, the
overwhelming majority of people who work fol
their living is unwilling to see the whole system
junked at this time.
Here are the latest figures, the results OF
polls taken by interviewers who discussed the
problem with many thousands of people in all
income brackets:
Answering the question: "Do you want price
control to end in June?," 73 percent said they
wanted controls continued, only Il percent wanted
an end to price ceilings, and percent had no idea
on the subject Analyzing. these figures more
closely however, it was discovered that wage
earners generally are five to one for retention OF
the OPA Business and professional men are three
to one, and farm workers two to one for keep
ing the controls.
This vast majority however, doesn't get the
publicity. It's the ationa Association of Manu-
facturers-the big fellows who would cash In II we
abandon OPA and price cengs-that gets the
publicity and runs the million-dollar advertising
campaigns
Incidentally the u. S. Department of Com
merce issued some interesting figures a few days
ago that have direct bearing on the problem that
faces the workers nowadays. The net savings of
individuals have dropped around three billion dol
lars since the relaxing of prce-control started.
Higher prices have quickly eaten into the savings
of the public The take of the retail stores Jump
ed around five billion dollars in 1915 over 1914,
despite the fact that there no appreciable in
crease in the amount of goods available for pur-
chase 1t is plain that even the slight relaxation
of price controls has cost the common people at lot
of money
Take away all price contros--and figure it
out for yourself!

VETERANS ARE LEARNING NOW

A great many returning veterans are learning
a from bitter experience that the high-pay Jobs
they read about IN the ant-Umon press, while
they were overseas, simply do not eXist-and
never existed. The lies Of Labors enemies are
coming home to roost Government statistics
prove concusively that veterans are refusing tc
accept the poverty-wage jobs in industry they are
demanding decent living. They are also learning
that only through the strength and protection OF
Labor Unions have they any chance whatever OF
achieving good wages and working conditions

KNOWLEDGE Is POWER

ONE OF THE greatest lessons learned from the
war has been the value of systematic saving,
to the individual members of the American work
ing people Millions of people have found that the
Payroll Savings Plan offered them an easy and
sure way of saving.
Those of us old enough to remember the years
following World War did not have to be sold on
the idea that some savings, while we could, would
be good thing. We had learned it the hard way.
We might say here and now that every work
ing man and woman should try to save q few dol
lars out of every pay check, You may need it some
day and we know of no better way than to con-
tinue to buy L. S. Savings Bonds. The knowledge
that you have them will give you more power to
carry when the going gets tough.
There will be no more bond drives, but you
should have learned by this time the value of Sys-
tematic saving. That knowledge will give YOU
power to save more and protect your future.
