Regional

By Richard Gosser
Director Region 2B, UAW~ClO

We are all proud of the showing that has
been made by the General Motors strikers in
their long fight against the richest corporation
in the world, but we are just as proud of the
workers in and out of our union who have rec
ognized the significance of the fight and given
the GIN workers their moral and financial
support
After ALL none can deny that the advances
which have been made in tn wage scale in our
own and other unions has come because of the
determination and courage shown by the GIN
strikers. Does anyone imagine that the wage
increases which are being granted in many
industries would have been granted had it not
been for the GM strike?
On our part, we too must show our deter
mination to stick with the GIN workers until
their strike has been satisfactorily settled and
they are back on the job. 1t has been a lot
easier on us to make donations to the strikers
than it is for them to give up their jobs for
principle. We cannot and must not let them
down now.
STRIKE SETTLEMENT
Nobody knows, unless it is the officials of
the GIN corporation when this strike will end.
Certainly, the union has shown every de-
sire to end the situation by offering
bitration to the company and other means
which could have been used some time ago to
break the deadlock which exists between the
management and union.
Nobody thought when the strike began last
November, that it would go this long. The
fact that the workers have had the courage
to stick and their willingness to see their fight
through to the bitter end cannot help but i'm
press everyone
Only by continuing to support the GIN
people can we insure their continuing until
victory is theirs. We can do this by continu-
ing to make our donations regularly to the
strike fund in our shops and Locals The
strikers have helped and we in turn must
help them win.
To all the Locals of Region 2-B as we'll
as those who do not belong TO the Automobile
Workers who have given generously to the
strike fund, l want to extend my sincere
thanks and appreciation The support which
our people in this region have given to GIN
workers is sure sign that they are awake to
the situation and aware of the urgent necessity
of winning this strike.
This region has compiled an outstanding
record all during the strike for its support Of
the GIN workers of whom all have cause to
be proud. l know we will not let our fellow
workers down at this late stage of the situ-
alton.

Labor Report
BY Bradford V. Carter
DERACLE

DERACLE
There is no such thing as Republican
Party or Democratic Party as far as Con-
gress is concerned. There are only liberals
and conservatives or progressives and reac-
tionaries. Whichever words you use to de-
scribe the alignment of forces one thing is
clear. The boys "agin" the interests of the
people who have to work for a living are in
control, and they intend to remain in control.
The reactionary coalition previously had
been only cloakroom alliance. Last week,
however this alliance gained new courage by
its ability to emasculate the Wyatt emergency
housing program and came out into the open.
1t actually got some rs congressman to come
to meeting to discuss program and appointed
a committee for further investigation. There is
evidence, too, that the coalition movement is
gaining strength in the Senate as well.
What makes the upsurge of reaction in
Congress even more remarkable is the fact
that Truman's chief asset was said to be his
ability to get along with Congress. Maybe 50,
but the fact remains that Congress has turned
down every important recommendation which
the President has submitted to it and on which
it has taken action.
DANGEROUS
The situation is dangerous in the extreme.
Extension of an anti-inflationary- price con-
troll law is seriously in doubt. AS we have
noted, the veterans emergency housing pro-
gram is on its way toward emasculation. The
version of the full employment bill which
emerged from the Congressional slaughter
house has, as its only striking feature, provi-
sion for three S15000-a-year men to advise
the president economic trends. At that,
it is not unlikely that some deserving ex-con-
gresham or ex-governor or needy politician
will be rewarded by getting at least one of the
jobs
The legislative situation is worrisome not
only in retrospect. There is also enough to
worry about the next several months. Sched-
uled for legislative action from here on out
are such crucial pieces of legislation as the
health insurance program, the Csc minimum
wage law, the Wagner Murray Dingell COM
prehensive social security program, the ex-
tension of unemployment compensation bene-
fits during the reconversion period, and the
Wagner -Ellender-Taft general housing bill.
In its present temper Congress will con-
sign all of this legislation to obscurity. A con-
Sistent pattern of opposition is clearly evident
If there are powerful vested interests of busi-
ness in opposition in piece of legislation,
Congress will likewise be in opposition.
WAY 1T WORKS
Tbs was the way it worked out in the hous-
ing program which was fought by the real
estate lobby. And this is the way the situation
will work out in health insurance which runs
counter to the interest of the powerful Amer
ican Medical Association in the 65c minimum
wage bill which sweatshoppers all over the
nation don't want, in price control which busi-
ness in general doesn't want You can figure
cut the rest for yourself.

The GIN Settlement

After Drawing three months of cold,
snow, rain and little sunshine, the work
ers of the General Motors Corporation
have ended their long strike.
If the weather was the only thing the
union had to combat, the settlement could
have come long ago, but they faced the
most powerful industry in America, hos
tile press, reactionary congress and
timid and indecisive government, COM
bination which at times must have caused
their spirits to sink.
But the workers never faltered. Strong
in their belief in the justice of their cause
and fortified by courage and determine
ton, the men and women of General Mo-
tors never faltered. They kept the faith
and their spirit could not be successfully
dOwned.
While the strike represents great eco-
nomic loss both to the workers and the
company, it is one of those things which
cannot be measured in dollars and cents.
The fact that the workers maintained their
lines and stuck to their just demands can
not help but do something for the morale
of every labor union in America.
Nor can the benefits which have come
and shall continue to come to all labor
unions because of the struggle of the Gen.
eral Motors workers be determined only
by the actual dollars and cents settlement
given to them, for it must be accepted that
the gains which have been made in steel,
shipbuilding, auto and other industries
have been won as an indirect result of the
fight of the GM workers.
We do not minimize the economic re-
suits obtained by the GM workers, but it
appears now that there was much more in
volved than mere fight for living wage.
The precedent set by the GM strikers In
their demands, both before and after the
strike, will set more than a wage pattern
for the unions of America.
From the GIN negotiations there will
come a new phase of negotiations In which
the industries of America eventually Will
share their good fortune with their work
ers. Out of this strike can come the real
groundwork for the ideal of labor, an an
nual guaranteed wage.
To the workers of General Motors and
their leadership we offer our sincere con-
gratulatiOns upon the successful ending OF
their Atrike and hope that they will now
enter a. era of peaceful and satisfactory
relations with corporation which on its
side has done everything humanity pos
sible to break the union.
To those of the United Automobile
Workers and other CIO and AFL unions
who have given their moral support to the
GM workers we offer our thanks and
praise and repeat the admonitiOn "an in
jury to one is an injury to alp in reverse
a gain for one is gain for all.
Nothing that we can say to the GM
workers will mean as much to them as the
fact that they alone had the courage to
face one of the toughest situations that any
group of workers ever faced. Theirs and
theirs alone is the satisfaction that comes
from having won through in the face of
great obstacles.
1t was a great fight and great VIC
tory for great group of workers.

Political
Action
by
Clayton
RusCh
Chairman
of the

Last August long and ter
rible war was brought to
sudden end by use of a new
and unique weapon.
In answer to those who ar
gued that the atomic bomb
caused the deaths of noncom-
batants including women and
children, it could truthfully
be said that the destruction
of grown men who were SOL
diers in the war was hardly
less tragic.
The war is over and the
song is ended, but the melody
fingers on, as can be seen by
looking at the daily paper or
listening to the radio.
FRUITS OF VICTORY
The immense sacrifices en-
tailed in winning total victory
can only be justified if the
fruits of that victory are the
assurance of a just and per-
manent peace.
Now, seven months after
the cessation of hostilities it
would appear we have won
the spoils of victory, but GER
tainly not the fruits.
We find the old game of
power politics in which I'm
Gle Sam is to be the Santa
Claus for all those who wish
to assure the peace of the
world on the terms of their
respective desires and ambi-
tionS.
In the course of the war ,un-
der the leadership of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, the people of
the United States had resolved
to carry through the aspira-
tions of Woodrow Wilson and
participate in a world organi-
zation of nations which would
maintain world peace by solv-
ing difficult problems in sci
entific manner.
Steps have been made in
Even while the war was
being concluded the United
Nations Organizatio. was in
augurated, It's purpose was
and is, to find ways and
means to establish and main
tain world peace.
This objective must not be
Sidetracked. 1t must not fail.
Those who died, died for a
great cause. To us the living
is life the sacred responsible
ity of bringing into actuality
that world which they gave
their all to make possible.
Now is the time to prevent
the next war, This cannot be
accomplished by this or any
other nation holding the threat
of the atomic bomb, like the
sword of Democles over the
world.
World peace can become a
reality only when the welfare
of the plain people is consid-
cred above profits and mo-
nopoly.
Passage of legislation to as
sure that everyone has a job,
with high enough wages so
that all can live decently, is
the only guarantee that we
can effectively participate in
an organization which can
really guarantee world peace.
