Legion Seniority

Members of the National Conference
of Union Labor Legionnaires took occa.
sion last week to condemn the American
Legion of which they are members for its
stand on demanding superseniority.
Said the labor legionnaires, "TheSe are
not just harmless resolutions adopted at a
convention and forgotten. They are
authority to the Legions full.time lobby
lists in Washington to buttonhOle a repre-
sentative or senator and say $500, 900
veterans want it this wayp"
What the labor members of the Legion
say is true, for the fact of the matter Is
that there are thousands of veterans who
do not want superseniority and are glad
that the decision of General Hershey was
reversed by the Supreme Court.
In pointing out the danger of passing
nl-eonsidered resolutions and steam.
rollering them through a convention.
whether II be the American Legion or any
other organization, the labor members of
the American Legion are pointing up one

What's
New?
By
Edward Duck

One thing that we all like
about Christmas is the way
everybody, even a lot of our
enemies smiles so sweetly as
they chirp Merry Christmas"
at us.
And that isn't all. It's a
time for giving and receiving
and time for remembering
that, sits more blessed to give
than to receive"
And that isn't all. It's a
time when people, even the
most careful spenders, reach
into their pockets and give
to, the Salvation Army, the
Old Newsboys Goodfellow AS
sociation and other worthy
causes because they get a
kick out of doing things for
their fellow humans at least
once a year.
Maybe some people think
that they do the things they
do at Christmas time because
its charity, or because they
have compassion for those
who need a helping hand, but
mostly, its because they get
more pleasure out of doing
and giving than those who
receive.
REALLY GLAD
But who am I to try and
investigate what makes peo-
pie do what they do at this
time of the year. I'm really
glad that so many people do
so many nice things on at
least one day of the year, and
because / feel that way about
it, instead of trying to dig
into the reason why, I'm 60
ing to do what everybody else
does.
I'm going to reach into my
self and grab a handful of
words and toss them down
on the paper, and for me, and
hope for you too, they will
mean as much or maybe more
than a steriotyped card with
a Christmas wish upon 1t.
And I'm reaching right now
to come up with the words
which you will hear and read
dozens of times in the next
few days - Merry Christ
mas to all.
The words are old but the
sentiment Is always new. !
do wish everyone a Merry
Christmas and hope that it
will be for them a great day
long to be remembered.

OUR LOSS

OUR LOSS
Our loss of President Roosevelt at a most
crucial period was deeper than many OF US
thought at the time. Ever since that day, the
labor movement and the nation as a whole has
seemed to get itself into a hole from which
nobody in public life seems to be able to lift
us.
Elimination of practically all controls, first
through congressional sabotage and then by
the surrender of President Truman has proved
to be everything that the labor leaders and
economists predicated it would be-
Without controls, the industrialists and
other lines of endeaver have been able to
charge the worker and public all that the
traffic would bear, until in the past few
months, the real wages of the people have
gone down just as effectively as though actual
wage cuts had been made without change in
the prices.
Because of a lack of control and congress
which was willing to do all in its power to-
return the country to the so-called free en-
terprise" system, the workers today face q
situation in which it now appears certain that
wage demands must be made, but which will
be seized by industry as the excuse for further
initiation of prices, or by Congress to impose
repressive legislation the situation causes
widespread strikes.
OUR FUTURE
Our future in the face of what has occurred
recognize constitutes threat both on the in
dustrial and legislative fronts is not very rosy.
But despite the difficulties with which we
are confronted, despite the dangers and critical
conditions which already are beginning to
show themselves as we go forward to meet the
future, we can win through if we believe in
our cause and are wise enough to keep our $
selves united.
It was belief in organization, right princi-
pies and unity which brought us where we
are today 1t will not fail us, if we do not fail
ourselves
I wish all the officers and members of the
UAW-CIO Locals and Units of Region 2-B,
their wives and families a Merry Christmas
and hope that all will determine to meet the
new year with the same fine courage with
which we have met and overcome the diff
ficulties and threats of the past.

Region 2-B.

There's been q lot of talk in some news
papers about an invasion of the south That's
nonsense 1t gives the impression of sworn
of people coming to hostile area-and nothing
could be farther from the truth. Today, right
now, with the CLOS southern organizing drive
under way, we have more than 100000 CIO
union members throughout the length and
breadth of Dixie. In another year or two, that
number is going to climb to 1,40O, 900 workers,
living in dozen states and working in a
dozen or more industries.
People have said to me- on number of oc-
casions: "You know, this is just like the be-
ginning of the CIO organizing drive in steel
ten years ago. Actually, that's not altogether
the case. When we first went into Chicago in
1896 to set up headquarters for the midwest
regional office of the steel drive, didn't know
soul in the city. There were few members
of some of the older CIO unions in the city,
but the automobile and steel and packing in
dustrieS-the backbone of Chcago's industrial
might-were completely open shop. We had to
start at the ground up to build our union
structure.
Now, ten years later, we are embarking on
another big organizing campaign to build the
strength of CIO. But in the south, there are
organized plants in every major city, in every
principal Section-and in a lot of places, too,
that people call "backwoods."
The list of our contracts in the south Is big
and impressive; to cite only few of them
Alabama Dry Dock, Aluminium Company of
America, American Tobacco, General Motors
Chevrolet, Goodyear Tire & Rubber, Libbey-
Owens-Ford, Shell Oil, and the Republic Steel
Corporation, which Tom Girdler- once Cvore, :
by all he keeps holy, would never sign CIO
union contract.
CIo can be proud of its achievements south
of the Mason and Dixon line, and workers can
take equal pride in the manner that their
organizations have developed during the last
decade.
So it's obvious that the plow has already
broken the plain. What we're going to do in
the next few months is extend the boundaries
of southern unionism. We're going to organize
until we're blue in the face-on a 24-hour
a day basis-but we're going to build our
unions.
No cop or deputy sheriff is going to chal-
lenge the rigths of our organizers to do their
job,or to question their Americanism Organ
izers who have proved their mettle in the far
reaches of the Pacific and on the Continent of
Europe, and don't envy the policeman or com.
pany stooge who tries to push them around. or
to deprive them of their constitutional liberties.

JAW Wage Demands

Nobody was surprised at the acuOh
taken by the United Auto Workers-CIO
executive board in announcing its new
wage demands at its New York meeting
last week.
That the 231z cents increase is ur-
gently needed by the employees of the
automobile industry cannot be doubted in
the light of the present price structure
which has effectively wiped out wage in
creases given early this year and made
severe cuts into the real wages of all
workers.
In making the new wage demands on
the autOmotive industry, the UAW-CIO
is again insisting, as it insisted last year
during the General Motors strike, that
the wage increases can be given without
an increase in the price of cars, con-
tention which President c. E. Wilson of
General Motors is again disputing and
which he is promising to resist.
Once again JAW President Walter p.
Reuther is pointing to the arithmetic In
herent in the production chain, pointing
to wages, prices and profits and showing
that the corporations are now making the
largest margin of profit in history.
And again c. E. Wilson has announced
that if the wages of the workers are in
creased by 25 per cent that the prices of
cars will be increased by similar amount.
This is, of course, the crux of the whole
economic problem, problem which can
not be solved by a constant Spiraling up
ward of wages, prices and profits. The
answer to the workers problem is not and
cannot be solved by the mere expedient of
asking for and receiving general wage in
creases if the imbalance between wages
and prices is permitted to persist.
Sooner or later there will be a show
down, or more precisely, an economic
reakdOwn, when the system shakes itself
down to realities and adjusts prices down
ward because of constantly increasing in
ventOries which cannot be moved because
the workers wages are insufficient. Un-
employment and want will result, but the
profit takers will still continue taking
their profits, possibly at a reduced rate,
as long as there is anyone to buy and re-
duce their inventories.
Labor, having failed to hold the price
line because of the stupidity of legislative,
administrative and industrial dolts, now
has no other alternative save to seek i'm
creased wages, at the same time recogniZ-
ing that wage increases will add fuel to
the fire and fail in their purpose unless
wages and prices and production and con-
sumption can be brought into a more
equitable balance with each other.
Unfortunately, there is no sign that
added wages will solve the problem in the
light of the declarations of c. +. Wilson
and his fellow induStrialists, fact which
gives added weight to the dire prediction
that we are again hell-bent for depression,
reduced prices and mass unemployment.
It's black and dreary outlook, but those
who control the system seem determined
to wreck and perhaps even destroy it,

This is our new national
housing policy.
Perhaps you didn't know. Per-
haps you thought that, when
Reconstruction Finance Corp.
Director George Allen won Ref
cree Truman's decision over
Housing Expediter wilson
Wyatt and Wyatt pulled out, we
were left without policy. Not
at all.
We have a complete housing
policy. It's very thorough. It
will work this time just the
way it worked last time. It's in
harmony with the trickle-down
theory of prosperity to which
we are now committed. The
profits must be allowed to boil
to the top so they can trickle
back down to us working stiffS
on the bottom. 1t worked in the
Twenties, more or less, pieced
out with installment buying, un-
til too many people ran out of
something to use for money
when they wanted to buy some
thing. That's the way it'll work
this time.
Our new national housing
policy was announced five
months ago by Arthur w. Binns
of Philadelphia, president of the
National Home & Property
Owners Association and leader
of the private housing lobby
that opened the way to killing
the Wyatt veterans housing
program by strangling the Wag-
er-Ellender-Taft Housing Bill
in the House after it had passed
the Senate.

resents our national housing
policy, was put in the Congress

July 27 by Rep. Richard M.
Simpson Or. Pa.)
IF we are sincere, said
Binns, sin desiring to provide
a good home for every Ameri-
can family in the shortest pos
sible length of time the
thing to do Is to pour into the
top the greatest number of new
houses Providing 100000
new homes for people who can
afford them, for perhaps seven,
eight or ten thousand dollars
purchase price, they automatic
ally provide 100000 new homes
for people less able to pay.
Homes, not new In construction,
but new to the family who will
occupy them >.
How may a good house be
provided for every American
family in the shortest length of
time?
Il am quite convinced that
he answer lies in the Sec
ond, third, fourth, and fifth
hand house.
Had enough?

plan during the campaign, said
