Washington, d. C.-President Tru-
man continued his fight today for full
employment legislation by asking the
Congressional conferees to adopt the
draft passed by the Senate with it's
provision for federal investments and
expenditures to take up any slack in
private employment.
Basically the President demanded of
Congress a declaration of the ulti-
mate duty of government to use it's
own resources if all other methods
should fail to prevent prolonged unem-
ployment." The proposition was de-
feated overwhelmingly in the House
and received Senate approval only
after several inhibiting amendments
were added.
In identical letters to Senator Wag-
ner and Representative Manasco of
Alabama, as managers of the legis-
lation, President Truman asked final
passage Of the Senate version, explain
ing that while it modified the Ian
guage of the original bill, it did not
remove its essential provisions.
Recalling how the House had sent
to conference a wholly new meas
ure lacking the essential features OF
the full employment bill as passed
by the Senate" Mr.. Truman said he
believed many Representatives had
supported it Gin the belief that the
conference would have an opportunity
to restore the essentials of the Senate
bill"
"In my opinion no bill which pro.
vides substantially less than the Sen.
ate version can efficiently accomplish
the purposes intended" the President
wrote. 81 urge the conference to sup.
port the essential characteristics Of
the Full Employment Bill adopted by
the Senate by vote Of II to 10.
"The essential characteristics of eff
fective legislation to establish a ma
tional policy in respect to employment
opportunity as see them, were de-
scribed in my message to the Congress
on September 6 as follows:

tion of the ultimate duty of govern

Follows AFL Urgings In Preventing Blow To
Unemployment

Washington, D. C.-Carrying out
the urgent recommendations of the
American Federation of Labor, Presi-
dent Truman vetoed Congressional
"rider" which would have forced re-
turn of control of the United States
Employment Service to the states
within 100 days.
In his veto message the President
said:
$50 far as the timing of the trans
fer is concerned, the period desig-
mated by this bill-the next 100 days
lis the most disadvantageous that
could have been chosen. 1t will re-
suit in a disrupted and inefficient
employment service at the very time
when efficient operation is most vital
ly needed by veterans, workers, and
employers.
Our local public employment offices
are now and will be during the next
several months, in the midst of the
peak work load in their history. This
is because the offices are now engaged
in counseling and placing millions of
applicants who require individualized
service. These applicants include able
bodied veterans seeking assistance in
their readjustment to civilian life,
handicapped veterans requiring even
more time and guidance in finding the
jobs most suitable for them, and un-
employed war workers who are con-
fronted by difficult readjustments be-
cause of substantial reductions in job
opportunities at their wartime skills
and wage rates.
"At such time, any change in
management and direction is neces.
sarily disruptive to the service. A
change which would replace our pres,
ent single and unified management
by fifty-one separate arrangements
would be very harmful. Even with
every effort by the states to promote
smooth transition, the transfer OF
some $4,000 employees to new condi,
tions Of employment, and the adjust
ment of operations to the require,
ments Of fifty-one different state
agencies, will inevitably cause con
fusion and delay.
apart from the timing Of the
transfer, the. provisions of H. R. 440f
which govern the basis for federal
state cooperation in the maintenance

China, in Java, in Iran. Throughout
Europe and Asia, strewn with rubble,
stricken with hunger and stiff with

postwar harvest. Peace time recon

peace itself is far from secure.
At home, we have failed to tackle the
problems Of reconversion in united

final victory we are still plagued by
acute shortages and inflated prices.
The threat of more initiation is great
er than before. The wage income of
the nations workers has been dwind-
ling. Unemployment continues on the
rise. Congress failed to provide for
human needs; it did nothing to pre-
vent unnecessary suffering during re-
conversion. Returning veterans and
released war workers face an acute
shortage Of homes and severely limited
opportunities for steady jobs.

den the American people at the close
of 1916 and have dimmed the earlier

HlCHLICHTS OF 1916
By Boris Shishkin
AFL Economist

Hail to 1945, the year of victory!
Farewell to 1945, the year of frustra-
tion!
In reviewing the old year, the mill
tary achievement of the first half con-
trasts sharply with our cropping and
fumbling through the aftermath of
war.
1945 is date our grandchildren will
be required to memorize in school. 1t
will be known as the year of the
smashing triumph of the forces of
democracy over the relationships of
Germany and Japan. It will be re-
membered because Of the formation
of the United Nations Organization
at San Francisco and the decision of
the United States to engage for the
first time in international coopera-
tion to safeguard world peace. Above
all, it will stand out in history as the
year in which man first succeeded in
harnessing atomic power, power for
great good and, perhaps, greater evil.
1t was in 1945 that Franklin Roose-
welt, who had charted the nation S
course toward the defeat Of Foscism,
died with startling suddenness, his
task unfinished. In 1915, Harry Tru-
man took over the wheel and kept our
ship on it's victorious course.
Yes, the future historian will des-
ignate 1945 as pivotal year, per-
haps the turning point in civilization
But we, who live in the present, have
more to do than men ever had before
with the direction in which the future
course Of history will turn. Which way
are we turning? Let's take our bear
ings.
The course we travelled in the second
half of 1945 would show that the peo-
pie Of America and the peoples of the

PREVIEW OF 1916
By Robert ]. Watt
AFL International Representative

Troubles are transitory. Hope
springs eternal. So as we look ahead
to 1916, we can't help anticipating
better times. There is so much room
for improvement in domestic affairs
and in world affairs that an observer
would have to be a confirmed pessi-
mist not to see any indications of pro-
gress.
After all, the war is over and we
won it. To parents throughout Amer
lea and to the millions of young men
and women who are coming home, that
alone makes 1916 a year of promise.
No matter how grave the problems Of
readjustment may become, no matter
what disappointments may lie ahead,
the worry and the heartache Of the
war years have lifted and the relief
we all experience is blessing.
Is it conceivable that after the ter
rible struggle we have undergone to
win a war for the preservation of our
democratic beliefs that we should now
falter and hesitate and fail to over
come the far simpler problems Of
peace?
Labor refuses to admit that possi-
bility. We are determined that 1916
shall be year of reinforced peace
and reconstruction, a year of rededi-
cation to the noble goals which inspir-
ed us to victory.
So let's see what can be DONE Next
month the assembly of the United Ma
tions Organization will hold it's first
meeting. 1t will consider peace terms
for the liberated nations of Europe
and Asia and for our conquered ene-
mics. We, the American people, should
resolve that our nation shall stand for
justice at the peace tables and for the
opportunity for all peoples to enjoy
security and freedom. Only in that
way can lasting peace be assured.
Next month Congress will return
to work. These lawmakers are suppos-
ed to represent us, the American peo-
pie. Let US inform them in no uncer-
tain terms what we want. We want ac-
ton. We want legislation that will
promote the objective of jobs for all in
America. We want a law that will pro-
vide health insurance for all our peo-
pie. We want decent minimum wage
level and unemployment insurance to
protect those unable to find jobs dur
ing reconversion. We don't want any
new laws which will infringe on the
basic liberties of workers or farmers
or businessmen.
For its own part, labor is ready to
make some New Years resolutions.
The American Federation of Labor
will do it's utmost to cooperate with
employers for the immediate expan-
sion of peacetime production. At the
same time, we will keep up the fight
for higher wage rates and other condi-
tions necessary to protect and i'm
prove the living standards of Ameri-
can workers. For unless the wage
earners of our country are well off,
the entire nation will suffer.
We in the American Federation of
Labor firmly believe that if all ele-
ments and all groups in our popula-
tion pull together we are bound to win
the peace and establish a prosperous
economy in our country in 1916. And
we hereby offer to pull our share of
the load.

TEN WAYS TO KILL A
LODGE:
|. Don't come to the meetings.

!. Don't come to the meetings.
2. But if you do--come late.
3. If the weather doesn't suit you,
don't think of coming.
i. If you attend a meeting, find fault
with the work and the officers and
members.
). Never accept an Office, it is easier
to criticise than to do things.
6. Nevertheless, get sore if you are
not appointed on committee; but if
you are, do not attend the meetings.
:. If asked by the chairman to give
your opinion on some important mat
ter, tell him you have nothing to say.
After the meeting, tell everyone how
things should he done.
8. Do nothing more than is absolute
lv necessary, but when other members
roll up their sleeves and willingly and
unselfishly use their ability to help
matters along, howl that the Organiza
tion is being run by clique.
9. Hold back your dues as long rs
possible, or don't pay them at all.
10. Don't pay any attention to new
mcmbers-"Let George do it,
