Treasury Department Report Shows
Cause Of Current Labor Disputes

Akron. Litchfield received $175,000.
That included salary of 100000 and
$4,000 bonus.
At the same time the Labor De-
partment report shows the average
U. S. tire maker received wage of
S52.81 a week. Rubber boot and shoe
workers made S42.21. Other rubber
workers averaged $4,000 week.
Even taking the rubber industry's
highest average wage, that of the tire
maker, Litchfield received more than
SO times as much as his average em-
ployee. That doesn't take into ac-
count the thousands of rubber work.

It's a difficult job to convince

continuing their fight to compensate
for a low wage scale, the increasing
cost Of living and the reduction in the
work week since the war ended They
have been on strike more than 3
months.
The strike, called Sept. "a, was
partially settled when the large oper-

in Oregon, Washington, Montana and
Idaho, the operators have made only
token offers and are continuing a

throughout the war, the AFL lumber
workers in the pine belt STAYED or

Few AFL Members On Strike
President Green's statement to the
Chief Executive said:
''As of this date, only fraction of

American Federation of Labor and
its affiliated unions is on strike. Out
of total of close to 7 million men,

'Woll Urges
Labor Win
Own Bottles

New York City-ULNS).-Matthew
Woll, vice-president of the American
Federation of Labor, advised labor not
to depend on governmental or politi-
cal parties to win its battles, propos-
ed that further labor-managemen
conferences be held to promote indus
trial cooperation and called upon the
United States to stop "appeasing'
Soviet Russia and other nations.
In his annual message to the mem
bers of his own union, the Interna
tional Photo Engravers Union of North
America, Woll recommended that
this country set forth its internation-
al policies with complete frankness
and candor. He described Premier
Joseph Stalin's foreign program as
diplomatic aggression" and declared
that any efforts at appeasement of
Russia would be as unsuccessful as
the attempt to appease Hitler at Mu-
Mich.
The same prescription should apply
to our relations with Great Britain,
the Netherlands and all other foreign
countries, he said.
mo Substitute For Honesty"
Even in politics no one has yet
succeeded in finding a adequate sub
stitute for honesty" he observed.
The end of the war has dispelled
the hope of some labor leaders that
they could look upon the federal gov
ernment as "a sort of fairy godmoth-
er" who would protect them from the
harsh facts Of life, VOL said
"The political honeymoon for labor
is now definitely over" he added.
From here out victory will go to
those unions which did not barter their
trade union birthright. And among
these, as any intelligent trade union
ist knows, are the unions of the Am
erican Federation of Labor.
"Labor's strength lies in its own or
ganization, in its own membership, in
its institutions, its press and in its
tried and trusted leadership. The AFL
has consistently adhered to this phil
Osophy. 1t is the only safe and sound
policy for American labor CIO pub

electrical division reached instead for
picket signs-and the 16-state strike
of United Electrical Radio & Machine
Workers was on full blast.
Reports pouring in to UE national

in the long-threatened walkout which
shut down about 7S plants. Time of
the walkout differed in various spots,
according to the shifts which began
at 5, 6 and 7 a. m. The strike came
after last-minute offer by UE to
settle for a 15c hourly pay increase
now and negotiate the remainder of
the 25c (S2-a-day) raise was turned
down by GE and Westinghouse. GM,
in turning down a 1870 hourly in
crease for striking autoworkers pro-
posed by the Presidents fact-finding
board, also ruled out settlement with
UE.
Of the 100000 strikers, 100000 are
GE workers, $4,000 Westinghouse and
$4,000 GIN. Products tied up by the
coast-to-coast walkout include radio
sets, washing machines, toasters and
