have to do to win.
First, it was the depression OF
1929. Maybe you don't call that
a BUYERS strike, but it ends up
at about the same place. We
had a country that could pro-
duce security and plenty, but
the closest most of us got was
the wrong side of the plate
glass window - outside looking
in.
After ten years of that kind
of buyers strike, came the war.
We had jobs, then. But again we
had to tell ourselves, go easy.
That stuff's not for us. Be pa
triotic and don't buy. Hold
back. Win the war first" That
was buyers strike number two,
and we did a good JOB on that
one so that the war could end
quick - and right.
STRIKE THREE
OK, So we won the war. SO
we get buyers strike number
three.
Now it's not because of the

Harry Bridges, president of the
Int'l Longshoremen's & Ware

Await NLRB
Decision
Gosser Asks Subpoena
Of Recording

The National Labor Rela-
tions Board has received a
notice of protest from the re-
gional UAW-CIO office in the
case of the Flxible Company S
recently contested election, it
was announced early this week
by Richard Gosser, UAW re-
gional director.
In the formal objection sent
TO the NLRB, Director Gosser
charged violation of the Wagner
Act by the company and cited
the speech made to the en-
ployees on the eve of the cleo
ton July 10th.
Intimidation of organizers,
anti-union activity on the part
of foreme e n, and attempted
bribery" by a prominent stock
holder of the firm, in which the
JAW Vice President was prom
.ised a good job, a home, and
moving expenses to be paid, i
|he would leave Loudonville
where the Flxible plant il
located, were included in the
written protest.
The Independent Workers AS
sociation, which defeated the
UAW by a scant As votes, now
finds itself in a quandary, with
its top officers having rendered
their designations shortly after
the election.
A decision from the NLRB
will soon be forthcoming as to
the validity of the election, and
a phonograph recording of the
speech of President Hugo H.
Young to the workers is the
JAWS chief basis of evidence.
Director Gosser has asked the
board to subpoena the recording
in order to study the anti-CIO
remarks of the company presi-
dent.
Common belief of the work
ers, according to reliable sources,
is that if another election were
held the CIO would win quite
handily.

Worst Congress
In u. S. History
Sovs VIM. Green

BOSTON LPA) July % -
AFL President William Green
charged here last week that the
present Congress is the worst IN
American history.
Addressing the oath conven-
ton of the Int'l Brotherhood OF
Bookbinders, Green declared
that "never in the history OF
our political life was a more
reactionary Congress elected by
the people of the U. S. than this
one that is functioning in Wash
ington now"
Green said that the present
Congress sis the worst have
ever known of, it is the worst
I have ever seen" He charged
that "The reactionary forces in
both parties have united for the
purpose of making a drive upon
labor"
Keynoting the AFL's renewed
determination to retire Con-
gressional labor-haters from
public life, Green said, "It is my
opinion that the liberal forces
of the nation and the members
of organized labor must unite at
the next election and see to it
that a large number of these re-
dictionary members of Congress
stay at home and are not re-
elected.
And 1 am not engaging In
exaggeration when / say that
no Congress ever passed worse
anti-labor bill than did this
Congress when it passed the
Case bill"

Typos Seek
Wdge Increases

WASHINGTON (LPA)-Sec-
retary of the Treasury John
Snyder last week approved a
pay raise of % cents an hour or
$3.50 per 40-hour work week
for typographers and pressmen
employed by the governments
Bureau of Engraving & Printing.
Present scale is $1.57 per hour
or 5000 per week.
Negotiations here begged
down, meanwhile. between the
Columbia Typographical Union
and representatives of So local
commercial plants, the largest
manufacturing industry in the
nations capital.
The Typos are seeking wage
increases of almost 1907, from
+$1.53 an hour to So an hour for
daywork and 10% additional for
each succeeding shift. The union
also demanded a go reduction
in the work week from 37h
hours to 35 hours, except for
third shift work in which 25%
reduction to 80 hours is sought.
Other major amendments to the
contract proposed by the union
call for 80 days sick leave pay
per year; 3 weeks vacation in
stead of the one and two weeks
at present; seven paid holidays
instead of the present four;
double-time pay for all overtime
and triple-time for Sundays and

NAM Plots
20 Billion
Robbery

Robbery is the straight
word for what sixty Amer
lean families have been con-
spring to do to the wages,
savings, and living standards
of 36 million other families who
also live in this country. Rob-
berry at the $4,000, 100000 level
is the reality behind the sooth-
ing and hypocritical phrases OF
the National Association of Man
ufacturers as it slips the knife
into the heart of OPA. Robbery
crude, open and limitless-
was what a majority of Congress
voted for when it ended price
control.
No one can tell exactly how
much the attack on price control
is going to cost the average
Amerian family or how many
millions of flooding profits 1t
will bring to the Morgan or the
Rockefeller or dupont families.
A 10 per cent increase in
prices will clip $4,000, 900, 600
from the buying power of the
American people. A 20 per cent
increase will mean $24 900, ,OOO,-
600 soaked up in profits-$24,-
600, 900, 900 dollars bitterly need
ed for food and homes and jobs
and the future security of the
nation.
Supply And Demand?
"There may be a temporary
lift in prices" says the NAM
comfortably, "but the laws OF
supply and demand will bring
them back down again soon
enough"
Actually not the laws of sup
ply and demand but the NAM
itself will be controlling prices
if we allow OPA to be destroyed.
Anyone whose economic infor-
nation is less than century old
knows that the prices Of most
goods sold to consumers are not
set by the pure and impersonal.

Show Results

WASHINGTON (LPA) - The
only sign of a break = really
only a slowing down - in the
upward march of prices last
week was the result of a buy
ers' strike. Retailers and whole

steak and butter at prices only

piling up in their refrigerators.
On both meat and butter, house
wives had been so outraged at
the dollar-a-pound prices that
they simply refused to buy.
