Council Doubts LGbor's Buying POuuer C0r1 Meet Price Climb

ChcagoA broad pattern for the nations toiIng in dealing with the complex problem of full reconverson and climbing living costs placed before the delegates to the 65th National Convention of the American Federation of Labor by it's Executive Council
 Summarizing the labor picture with reference to boom ing pces workers buying power production and employ ment the Council said:
 With this years rapid price increases there grave doubt whether workers buying adequate to main tain industrial production at full employment levels The
 immediate task before to build those economic forces which will bring prices down to reasonable level This not be done by parades, slogans buyers strikes It qures steady production of the goods needed to make shortages These shortages the main of the ination When the supply of goods adequate demand the normal reaction of the market will bring prices down. This will result in benefits to workers and all other groups than any other single economic ton. Steady production by workers essential to psh this end and controls must also be ad justed as not to interfere with production"

 Acceptance of the rights of workers follows in recognition of their freedom and those inherent qualities which give them dignity and worth. Rights of any one group have permanence only when these or similar rights are enjoyed by all other groups Society gains in stability as each group defines and establishes the rights that assure justice and opportunity.
 "The process of production re- quires coordination and coopera- tion. The same is true of human relationships between those who carry on these processes. The principle of representation and mutual agreement as developed in collective bargaining and union management cooperation gives promise of industrial stability with progress for all. It would assure free economy within contr ols vested in groups with experience that justifes confidence. A free economy operates within frame of law in the public interests and looks to Government for those serv- ices that aid management and un- ions in adopting wise procedures and reaching wise decisions on policy. As has been wisely said industrial peace must be founded on agreement between those con- cerned."
 The Council emphasized that col- lective bargaining and union agree ments are foundations upon which union services live and prosper.
 The Councils report expressed full confidence that the pendulum is swinging back in the way of decent American labor relations and that workers will be able to block bills designed to checknate their advances.

the USSR was bent on imperialism and aggressive policies to expand it's power. It is plain that free gov- ernment is imperiled by further policies of appeasement. We expect our government to insist upon jus tice for all states whether small or large"

Eastern Connecticut news., 1946-11-02

Workers of America has been re- stored with the stipulation that this organization would be admitted to the AFL with all the rights and privileges of affiliation enjoyed by all organizations.
 This is an achievement which is deeply significant. It must be interpreted as evidence of the de velopment of solidarity within the organized labor movement of the nation and as reflection of the de- sire of the workers of the nation to become united so that their economic strength can be fully mobilized in behalf of the member ship of organized labor. This re- turn of the United Mine Workers increases the strength of the American Federation of Labor by 600, O,OOO."
 Machinists May Return
 The Council reported discussions are underway between AFL leaders and officials of the International Machinists with reference to reaf- filiation with the AFL. No deci- sion has been reached by either side, but the Executive Council ex- pressed earnest hope that a com- plete understanding would be reached soon.
 Looking over the nationwide in- dustrial picture the Council re- ported:
 "The American Federation of La Dor believes that what is needed now to promote better industrial relations is honest effort by man. agement and union to bargain col lectively for their mutual benefit supplemented by genuine efforts to work together for better and great CT production so that there may be more for all. Cooperation, which is the spirit of partnership, constitutes grounds for increasing the propor- tional share going to workers, but if increased share is earned, justice requires compensation.
 "Cooperaion between unions and management to develop the rules and procedures of fair dealing which must undergird industrial peace, must be supplemented by objective and wise administration of the National Labor Relations Act to assure workers their basic eco- nonomic rights as choice of union the workers want to represent them. Balance has not yet been struck as between the economic power of employers and unions.
 Meanwhile unions must press home upon members and officials responsibility which must accom- pany rights. Union officials can best develop a sense of responsi- bility when all relationships with management are conducted in a spirit of consideration and fairness that compels reciprocal honesty and spirit of consideration and fairness that compels reciprocal honesty and forthrightness. Union responSibili- ty best develops when and function ing groups have grasped the impor- tance of dependability in human relationships and are striving to maintain standards. -...
 Rights of workers must be re- spected by management and accept ed in good faith. With the develop ment of relations guaranteeing rights should go responsibility for wise use of such rights as reflects

 Germany and a representative to keep in constant touch with other European nations. Touching on Latin-American workers conditions, the Council declared it's reports have been most gratifying. Workers of Latin-Ameri- can countries, the report stated, are looking more and more toward free trade union leadership and are indicating a growing resentment against communistic influences. Closer Latin-American Ties
 The Council suggested that an economic organization of Inter American trade unions would con- stitute a sure guarantee of demo- cracy and human welfare"
 The Executive Council pulled no punches in it's attack upon the Soviet tactics employed in tine Paris Peace Conference. In blunt langu- age the Council reported:
 "The USSR and it's subordinate
 friendly nations are not interested in making peace but in utilization of the peace forum as well as the occupation of conquered territory as opportunities to extend the con- trol of the Communist Party and expand a deSpotism as cruel and bloody as any recorded in history. Y1ie esf Party has fastened it's control over the eastern half of Europe by means of the Red Army and their secret police. The Canadian Spy Report describes the sort of work by which the Communist Party achieves it's purposes through it's Embassies and ConSulateS, even in the territory of friendly nations. Through Conn munist Party members in other countries, the USSR has the benefit of fifth-column divisions in many lands who immediately support the party line as soon as announced by officials. One of the most interest ing and significant aspects of the USSR foreign policy is the world wide chain of activity which is supporting the position of the USSR in the United Nations and the Paris Peace Conference.
 "The delaying tactics and ag- gressive accusations used by the Soviet representative in the Paris Conference make plain that the agents of the Communist Party are not seeking peace but new op- portunities for aggression. Repre- sentatives of democratic countries have been forced to concentrate on resisting new aggression instead of deliberating on terms and condi- tions of peace. Treaties with Italy, Bulgaria, Roumania, Hungary and Finland drafted by the Big Five are before the Conference. The smaller nations concerned have asked for modifications.
 "The peace aims of the Atlantic Charter have been obscured in diplomatic conferences but they still represent ideals for which in- dividual citizens of many lands gave their lives. The American Fedora tion of Labor suggests that the na- tions which value world peace with individual freedom should take steps to conserve the institutions they inherited from past genera tions and consider how best to further freedom in the years ahead"
 The Council expressed deep qualification to the House of La- bor" of the United Mine Workers. Citing this as an example of unions which have "experimented" with other labor movements to their dis satisfaction, the Council reported:
