mot ON THE BEAM"

TWO important facts that every American Fed
Grafton of Labor member would do well tC
keep in mind and to impress upon his fellow cit
izens at every opportunity are emphasized by the
American Federationist in its current issue. Says
the Federationist:
There's much unwarranted talk these days
that collective bargaining has broken down. 1t
is undeniable that the headlines have been shout
ing for some time about strikes in certain indus
tries, but sight should not be lost of two highly
pertinent facts - first, that while many other
branches of organized labor may monopolize the
notoriety, the largest branch by far is still the
American Federation of Labor, with approximate
ly 100000 dues-paid members; secondly, that
AFL unions and their employers are, in the over
whelming number of cases. continuing to practice
collective bargaining as they have done for years
past.
considerably less than l percent of AFL
members are on strike as we go to press So it
can be readily seen that statements about break
down of collective bargaining are not exactly on
the beam.
"The practice of collective bargaining is con-
tnuing There is no substitute for it-uness we
want to adopt the distasteful philosophy we so
recently warred against Fascsm may appeal to
some people. We prefer democracy"
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1946-01-24
MAILING ANOTHER FALSEHOOD

SOME of the apologists for employers who op
opose wage increases are trying to muddy the
water by claiming that increased wages can come
only through increased productivity and by pro
noting the idea that productivity of workers is
declining. The inference is also made that labor
unions oppose an increase in productivity.
These contentious fly in the face of the facts
of the case. Labor unions do not oppose an in
crease in productivity. In fact they were largely
responsible for the great increase of productivity
during the war
Furthermore productivity increase, as reveal
ed in a survey made by the War Production Board
is expected by employers themselves to be nearly
40 percent after reconversion
Great grief, how much more productivity
could any one expect!
This estimate by the War Production Board
is based on some $3.50 concerns in AZ industries
which say that by the middle of 1916, they will
have increased production by sc percent with only
a 33 percent increase in employment over the
1939-1941 average.
There will be increased productivity as en-
ployers very well know And since increased pro-
ductivity lowers costs, wage increases can be
granted without increasing prices and profits will
still remain nigh.

BIG BOOST FOR UNION LABEL

TT is important news when the head of the u. S
government endorses the principle of the unior
label. This President Truman has done in letter
to the Union Label Trades Department of the
American Federation OF Labor, thereby setting
his seal of approval on buying of union label goods
and services to maintain good pay and working
standards.
Union label boosters throughout the nation
can make good use of President Truman's en-.
dorsement, in urging consumers generally to ask
for union label goods and services. 1t is assumed
that union members don't have to be sold on the
union label idea. But the general public isn't so
familiar with the reasons for union label buying
and the Presidents endorsement should prove
very useful in enightening them.
President Truman gave his endorsement
when invited to address the 1916 AFL Union
Label and Industrial Exposition in st. Louis, Oct.
20 to Nov 3. He did not refuse to attend the ex-
position, but said he could not make definite ap-
pointment at this time.
Here is what the President wrote:
Il trust that the 1916 Union Label and In
dustrial Exhibition will be an outstanding success
in full keeping with it's laudable aims.
''Ihe purpose of such an exhibition, and of
the other work of your department, is important.
Through other types of labelling the consumer
has guide to the content and quality of the
has knowledge that the men and women who make
the product work at fair wages and under decent
cent conditions.
"By educating consumers in general to the
full meaning of the union LABEL you will enabe
them to give added impetus to the establishment
and maintenance of fair labor standards"
Success of the exposition is already assured
and |. M. Ornburn, secretary treasurer of the|
label Trades Department and director of the big
show, says that plans and preparations are underI
way to make it the greatest affair of it's knd
,yer held.

THIS BILL MUST PASS

DENDING before Congress is bill, which if
passed would be one of the most important
steps ever taken to cure the economic i'll of the
South. This measure, introduced by Senator
Claude Pepper of Florida, would make it illegal
to pay wage of less than 65 cents an hour to
workers engaged in interstate commerce.
The substandard wages paid to great ma
jority of the Souths economic ills. Directly they
have kept a large proportion of the Southern
population poorly fed, poorly clothed and poorly
housed. Their secondary effects on the life of
the South have been even more disastrous
They have kept the Southern farmer poor by
undermining the market for his products. They
have depressed Southern business by restricting
the purchasing power which is it's lifeblood. They
have distorted the South's economy by discour-
aging the manufacture of finished goods in South
ern states
Some of the Southern delegation in Congress
led by Senator Ellender of Louisiana, are oppos-
ing Senator Peppers bill. They claim to speak
for the South. Actually they speak for interests
which profit by the South's misfortune The
Southern people-and the people throughout the
remain silent in the face of this
which threatens defeat of this
measure. They must deuge their
Senators and Representatives with messages from
both organizations and individuals supporting the
Pepper bill.

DANGEROUS POLICY

FRENCH politicians are reported opposed to the
rebirth of German labor and the unificaton
of Germanys working men and women into one
centralized and united trade union movement
They cling to the belief that Capitalization of
German politics and economics means the revival
of strong German Reich, and thus danger to
the security of France.
To believe that one power or combination of
powers can for all time keep a large, Industrious
and determined people from getting on its own
feet at its own terms, is so shortsighted view as
to make any discussion superfluous. But when this
belief goes so far as to be applied to the German
workers as well-themselves victims of Nazism-
it becomes truly an obsesson. 1t will be interest
ing to see what the Big Three and the UNO have
to say to that kind of policy which concerns not
only French-German relations but endangers the
none too stable foundations of future peace

SWEDEN SETS GOOD EXAMPLE

SWEDEN had many trying experiences during
- the war and even now is uncertain whether
her big neighbor, Russia, is friendly or hostile
but Sweden refuses to get jittery. Instead shf
makes bold plans for the future.
Opening the Rikstag, or Parliament the 9th
er day, King Gustav said the national budget
would not be curtailed, but funds heretofore SET
aside for national defense would be devoted to
social reforms -$600-a-year pensions for aged
couples free meals for school children, paid va
cations for housewives
Old-age pensions will start at 63-two years
earlier than in rich Amerca-and it is predicted
will be sufficient to support the beneficiaries ac-
cording to Swedish standards.
Thus, there is hope that the people of this
comparatively small country will be relieved from
the crushing burden of military expenditures.
When will the great powers" follow this whole
some example?

WILL REPEAL OBNOXIOUS LABOR LAW

TT HAS taken 20 years to do it. The British
Labor party is about to repeal the Trades Dis
putes Act, put through Parliament in 1926 by
Conservative chieftains including Winston
Churchill.
The unions attempted to stage a general
strike. 1t was a failure. Their enemies seized the
opportunity to put over a statute which they were
confident would keep Labor in its place" for an
indefinite period
One provision on which Conservatives placed
great stress had to do with poicica contributions
The old rule was that if member of union did
not object to the proper union official the political
assessment was valid. The 1926 law specified that
a political contribution could not be collected un-
less the union member agreed in advance.
The Conservatives argued that workers did
not wish to contribute to the Labor party, that
they were being dragooned by their leaders We
near the same talk in this country today. For a
time the law did curtail the Labor partys funds
out not enough to head off the great victory Of
last year.

PERSEVERANCE GETS RESULTS

MEMBERS of Local 1861, UphOIsters' Interna-
~ tional Union of North America employed at
the Dubuque Casket Co., Dubuque, Iowa, needed
raises and demanded them of the company
Committees headed by Business Representa-
tive Frank Lange were gloomily told by company
representatives that no raises could be paid. IL
they were, the company would have to go out OF
busness--their competitors were underselna
them-nothing could be done, etc. and ETC.
So the casket workers held firm, repeated
their demands insisted upon them, voted dowr
puny company offers at membership meetings.
Their perseverance paid off, resulting il
agreement on a Accent hourly increase.

Realization
"a NEW ERA"

We are the English speaking sect OF
Syrian and Lebanese heritage, whose voice
will no longer remain obscure from the
public scene, and principally among our
own people.
In the year of 1912 preceding the Mid
West Federation's annual Conventional
a gathering held to make the plans for
carrying out the scheduled convention, a
man, older and wiser than any of us, lis
tened to youth cry dispairingly of the lack
of a voice for the Syrian Lebanon colony
of Detroit and environs. Throughout the
evening he went about his work of prin'
ting the booklet for the convention while
we continued our dreams orally.
AS the years rolled on, and the dread
full realism of war replaced the pursuit of
happiness, he in his progress and success,
remembered our discussion and planned
to see that our wish would become a reali,
ty.He had made a promise and at times it
seemed a futile and not reachable idea
Several weeks ago this same man con,
tacted a member of the American Syrian
Lebanon Association, who had been at the
meeting in 1912, and was asked if we still
were interested in securing a voice for the
Syrian Lebanon colony of Detroit.
1t is very difficult to extoll the virtues of
