Main touches which sets the

Why Miners Should Core

Even if John L. Lewis were as bad as the commercial press of the
nation pictures him to be, we would still feel like thanking him for
one thought-provoking passage that has come out of the recent coal
controversy.
Reminded that people in New York City would freeze unless coal
was mined, n miner replied, why should we care? Does New York
care If w re get low wages or get killed !?
That passage OF words may have occurred. Or it may be the fig
ment Of some reporters imagination. But it is worth thinking about
because it expresses the attitude, not only of the miners and the people
Of New York City, but of workers of all trades and people everywhere.
Why should anybody r about the other fellow? That's the atti-
tude that capitalism develops in the minds of people. Wen get all
We wish every worker in the land would consider the implications
CT that attitude. What will it profit anybody if everybody gets higher
Wages-at the expense of everybody else? Nobody will be any better
of. Under the capitalist private profit system the only way to get
more is to take it from ONE other worker. That will be SO is long
as there are private owners to take a profit from the labor of workers.
Our purpose in making the above assertion is not to persuade
workers to desst in their efforts to get more of the good things of life.
We believe that workers m entitled to ALL that their labor produces.
But we also believe that workers must use a better method to get that
to which they have a natural right.
The method w e suggest is to make the industries the property
OF all the people and produce wealth for use instead of for profit
instead of merely striking for more money wages, workers should vote
to end the wage system altogether.
When the economy becomes social property and when the profit
system is outlawed, then the people in New Yorks offices and the
people in Pennsylvania mines will are about each other, because then
they will have a common interest in the achievement of a good life for
every useful worker-Reading Labor Advocate.

Whut Con Lewis Do Now?

John L. Lewis valnly attempted to make his back-to-work order
sound like a strategic retreat; it was, in fact unconditional surrender
Sure Of his own strength, contenptuous of the administration, Lewis
challenged the government and found himself Unanswered into fight
ing OF the issue of the sovereignty of the state. That is an indefensible
position OF any sectional group, and defeat became inevitable unless
The president lost his nerve. He didn't; on the contrary, having gained
the initiative in the court phase of the struggle, the administration indi-
Gated Its readiness to counterattack at all points. And, despite bitter
criticism by labor of the use of the injunction, Mr. Truman appeared
to have most of public opinion behind him. What can Lewis do now?
He has set March 81 a. the day for renewal of the struggle, but unless
the courts uphold his claim of the right to terminate unilaterally the
contract between the United Mine Workers and the government, his
position then will be weaker, not stronger. His one hope is to negotiate
a agreement with the operators, but they will not prove easier to
deal with than before the strike and may we'll stall in view of the
prospect OF stringent anti-labor legislation in the next session of Con
gress. Lewis, in fact, has committed the classic bunder of dictators:
through overconfidence he has exposed himself to a concentration Of
superior forces and suffered a defeat which may prove disastrous not
only to the miners but to all labor-The Nation.

Ball Reveals AntiIobor PROGRAM

When the new Congress convenes next month, Senator Joseph
Ball of Minnesota will be the top man in that body OF all labor
questions.
Ball reached Washington November 8 to prepare his program
and announced that he has a double barrelcd shot for American unions
First off, Ball expects quick passage of the Case antlabor bill
the measure tnat a Sc bad President Truman vetoed it. Ball thinks
hearings.
Following up o n that, the Minnesota Republican proposes to ban
the closed shop.
In IN interview at his office, Ball described the Case bill as g
relatively easy measure to pass, but pointed to the outlawng of the
closed shop is the primary COP objective. He wants to bar any form
of agreement o. contract in which membership in a labor union would
be prerequisite to employment.
Ball put it this way: There have been a lot of bills talked about
which would outlaw specific abuses of unions, but most of them just
chip away at the edges. The main bulwark protecting unions in their
abuse of power is the closed shop.
If we abolish the closed shop" he explained smlngly. "othcr
abuses within labor unions will be abolished by the rank and file
or union members themselves"
"a explained that he proposes to eliminate the clause in the
wagner LABOR Relations Act sanctioning the closed shop and claimed
tat a majority IN Congress believes there has never been any justi-
ficaton for the closed shop. It is the most liberal practice in the labor

NAM REDUCES WAGES
BY RAISING PRICES

Throughout the war and the
peace that followed, the National
Association of Manufacturers has
done all it could to wreck price
control, to secure ~unwarranted in
creases, and to keep wages and
buying power at the lowest level
possible.
What the big trusts would really
like to do is cut hourly wages to
the bone Notwithstanding the fact
that surveys indicate that take
home pay has already shown a
sharp decline. The strength of or
ganized labor is such, however,
that such direct attack on work
ers' incomes would have failed
~miserably.
The alternative attack against
the administrations price line was
conceived by NAM strategists as
accomplishing the same result of
robbing the workers pay envel-
opes in a less obvious manner

Who Profits From Imperialism?

I'VE British, like the Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch and French, grew
great by conquering continents for the white man.
I'VE grew rich by taking the land of backward peoples and using
the dspossessed owners as cheap labor Historically, every Western
democracy is grounded on pi1age and exploitation"
Then Crossman made a statement which LABOR frankly chaI
enges: 1T is not only the capitalist but also the working class who
benefit from the profits of empire"
If that is SC, why have the British working classes" ALWAYS been
so Wretchedy poor-much worse off than the workers of the United

Foreign Demand for
Silver Crows Greater

Commenting on the silver sup
ply of the world, The Economist,
widely quoted financial paper of
London, England, predicts a long
time shortage of silver. The de-
mand for the white metal from for
eign countries was never greater.
The 40 million ounces the United
States has lend-leased to six for
eign nations was only a drop in the
bucket toward meeting the demand.
England has even abolished her sill
yer coin in an effort to get enough
remelt silver to pay the loan, and
in India silver is selling on the
open market for $1.20 an ounce.
In all countries where compila-
tons r made of industrial con-
sumption of silver, figures have
been rising steadily during the war
years and the intake of silver for
the arts and industry was at a high
record in 1945. In that year the
United States absorbed for these
purposes the staggering amount of
40 million ounces, Britain used is
million ounces, Mexico 612 million
ounces, and Canada 6 million
ounces.
These figures were swamped,
however, by the absorption of the
eastern drain for silver-an alb
sorption which defies exact statis-
teal measurements because so
much of the silver went into
boards in India; for example, was
coin which disappeared from cir
culation.
The United States contributed to
some extent to the satisfaction of
this boarding demand for silver on
special lend-lease terms to India
and Saudi Arabia.
