that good showing regards output per manhour has

SOCIAL SECURITY

WHEN THE end of the year approached the bust

it was important figuring.
But it's important now, and sweeter. Ii the
figuring shows that the business lost money the next gur
ing job is to determine how much money the Government
must kick back to the business to make the losses
Under the tax kcback laws money collected for taxes

losses in 1916 It's sweet kick back for Big Bsiness-a
headsI-wn, talsyou-lose proposition.
There kicks backs and kick backs The kckback tax

collections careree about production costs and prices
Above ALL made them careless about provoking and pro-
longing strikes
What did Big Business how long strike lasted
since the Government had to strike losses and collect
the losses from the tax payers to pay the kick backs
Actually, many workingmen who have been paying with
holding since returning to work after strike have
also been paying the bosses for carrying strikes
No wonder management stubborn about settle

No wonder that many s0-caled strikes IN 1916
were, in fact thiny disguised lockouts

WHY ROAD BUILDING DELAY?

THOSE who peer into the future to forecast construction
developments go far afed baseball dopesters
horse players.
The postwar highway construction program is case
in point Before We and VI days, road building visual
lied sort of economic safety valve We needed lot OF
road work both construction and in rebuilding old
jects But that incidental to the benefits Of the work
itself
Millions of men would be discharged from the armed
forces and millions released by munton plants High
way building would supply of these jobs while equip
ment and materials would help take the slack in industry
Highway departments urged to have tockpe OF plans
ready for immediate letting when Congress gave the
light.
building program of at least billion dollars
fideny predicted for the first postwar This amount
to pyramid the country swung into real conversion
cycle.
But the rush of construction failed to materalize In
stead of supplying jobs hard to get trained personnel
and labor Rocketng prices and scarctes plus
ernmenta restriction presented obstacles that manufacture
found unsimounabe The vast stocks of used and
used highway equipment that contractors had counted did
not become available
When bids Forthcoming, they were often truned
down because they considered too high when the
figures could be justified the basis of high costs Est
mates the amount of road work for the 1916
reduced to 00O0 from billion Some estimates later
have this close to half billion Whether this amount
of construction gets started probemmac Notwthstand

the equipment and material for the job than anxious
to get things started They have for holding up
proceedings 1t their bread and butter If they not to

LABOR CRITICS

WE EXPECT criticism from the daily press We expect
aborhatng employers to attack We expect cantanker
people blast labor because they have nothing better
do But when labor people out of their blast the
fundamental principals of collective bargaining begin to
wonder.
Understand, will defend the right of anyone to
criticize anything with which they fit to disagree All we
ask that criticism be based facts not hearsay misn
formation
However, have heard labor people who have more
idea of what they talking about than the man in the
labor policies On the occasions when have heard
such comment from union MEMBERS have always tried
to do little investigating We have discovered that the card
holders who yell the oudest also the who
attend meeting participate in union activities
pay least bit of attention to current conditions in union
circles.
We believe there lot of things in labor that deserve
crticzng After ALL when that claim to be per-
feet may well fold up tents and quietly steal
away.
But union members who fail to attend meetings
fuse take any interest union affairs should be the last to
have opinions about labor Until you become active in your
union you have basis for criticism Until the time
that know all the facts you ought to keep opinions
to yourself because until then you talking in ignorance
That also goes for the daily press Until they know
whereof they speak they should shut up.
