| Remove price controls on manufac-
tured goods and production will step
up FAST: Goods will then pour into
the market, and within a reasonable
time, prices will adjust themselves
naturally-as they always have /. !. :.
There are three things wrong with
this smoothly written statement. First
it does not mention what would hap
pen to prices BEFORE goods pour
into the market and prices adj
just themselves naturally"
Production Doomed 1869 Under
Price Control
after the last war prices sky-rock-
eted when even those rickety control
were lifted, the same would undoubt-
eddy happen if price control were re-
moved now-but the NAM would rath-
er not have you know that. Second
after World War l, initiation prices
did not adjust themselves naturally;
they collapsed with disastrous results
for businessmen, workers and farm
ers. Third, production during the last
war, with little or no price control,
increased only "a per cent; during
this war, under price control, it in
creased 116 per cent
"a second inflationary pressure group
is the National Retail Drygoods as
ISOLATION. The NRDGA recently pre-
pared and displayed in the house and
senate office buildings a horror ex-
hibit" designed to show that the OPA
had by it's pricing policy driven low
priced goods out of production.
I'm five cases (out of six) the state
ments made by the NRGDA were gross
misrepresentation
with loud blares, the Pied Pipers
of Profit try to drown out the facts
But | don't think the American peo-
pie will listen too closely to this dis
cord. They know we have a crisis on
the sterilization front, but they know
the reason for it, too" End of quota

PORTLAND.-First guaranteed an.

Coast, so far as is known here, was
signed recently between the United
Steel Workers Union (CIO) and the

Although no pay raise was involved
the scale is higher than that effec-
tive for comparable for work else

SIGNIFICANCE OF VOICE NOT :
CONFINED TO MONTANA
Feb. 26, 1916.
The Peoples Voice:
I haven't forgotten the free ads you
ran for our paper ACTION, so will
continue my support as long as l can
dig up the two bucks year.
Besides, the material you put in
your paper has a significance that
isn't confined to Montana alone. There
are economic and social matters that
concern people in AZ other states.
| tried to live in Montana and
tried to live in Colorado, but l had
to leave to find opportunities for max
ing a living. Reading The Peoples
Voice has helped me understand why
the opportunities are SO scarce in this
internal colonial empire. I was raised
in Western Colorado but all my rela-
tives have all left and are doing well
in other states to the East and West,
An MVA would help Montana, but
that would be only half victory. The
big non-competitive corporations must
be socialized before small business
and farmers who compete with each
other can really prosper.
So here's my two dollars for anoth-
er year of The Peoples Voice.

Opportunities For 5000 War Veterans

WASHINGTON, D. C. = The War Department has announced that the regular Army will accept up to 5000 disabled veterans having spe- cial skills. A partial list of positions opened to handicapped men include diesel and automobile mechanic, clerk, laboratory technicians, draftsmen, telephone operators, radio operators, medical, dental and photographic technicians.

Covering The National Scene

project will be in Tuskegee, Alabama.
 One of the most widely prOpa- gated lies which reactiOnary news papers, cOlumnists and radio conn mentators have spread is the state ment that 'an increase in wages must be followed by correspond ing increase in prices"
 THIS IS HOKUM! Wages, ac- cOrding to Federal Trade Commits sion reports, average only 2S% of manufacturing costs. This means that if wages rose lO%O, total costs would increase by only l /4th of that, or 23%o. With profits at an all-time high, manufacturers could easily absorb wage increases in their total manufacturing costs.
 THE AFL intends to strike back against the anti-labOr pollution of the public schools. The FederatiOn's 65th convention accused big busi- ness of attacking the labor move ment with subtle but effective pro- paganda in the public schools
 To cOunteract this the convention voted to start vigorous campaign on the part of all affiliated unions to promote teaching the true facts about the history, Objectives, and accomplishments of organized labor as an important part of the demo- cratic structure of our NatiOn.'

Conn. Garment
 Workers To Vote
 For Joe Tone
IL.G.W.U. Urges His Elec- ton Progressive Rec
 ord Cited

At a well attended meeting of Conn. shop representatives of the Interna- tional Ladies' Garment Workers Un- ion held Tuesday, it was unanimously voted to endorse Joe Tone, candidate for United States Senate on the Democratic ticket. The I.W.G.W.U. has 5000 members in Connecticut. In recommending the endorse ment, Jacob L. Banach, manager of the Connecticut locals, pointed out that Tone, ''when Commissioner of Labor, was instrumental in SUD- pressing the sweat shops and all they stood for. For the first time, women and children who were ex- plotted unmercifuIly, received pro- lection due to the energetic leader ship of Tone as Commissioner of Labor.
 Tone never severed his friendship
 with the Garment Workers and we, on the other hand, always considered him as our dear friend.
 We, therefore, urge all members of our union in the state of Connec- ticut, to vote for Joe Tone on Novem- Der 5th and elect him to the United States Senate where he will continue to sponsor the progressive ideals as he has done in his former positions. |"

We nominate for a quick death and an unpleasant one Harold Horsetail, the union member who spends most of his time at the bar, dropping into the meeting only when a vote is about to be taken and he must have the whole situa- ton explained to him under a Point of Information.
 THE AFL's executive council has received an application for chart CT from the Railroad Yardmasters of America.
 The council directed that Presi. dent William Green grant the chart CT after an investigation to deter. mine whether any other affiliated organization has objections. M. C, Shoch is president of the union which represents some $500 yard masters on the nations railroads. The council also moved the date of the midwinter meeting of the ex- ecutive council, which will be held m Mlaml, Fla.s up one week. The council will meet Jan. 29, instead of Jan. 22.
 The American Federation of State, County & Municipal Em- ployes requested jurisdiction over nurses in private hospitals. The union already has jurisdiction over nurses in public hospitals.

Organized Nurses
 Make Their Reply

NEW YORK (LPA)-The Amer ican Nurses Assn. should stick tc the establishment of and improvement of educational standards in the pro- fession, executive director Gene Hell big of the Registered Nurses Guild AFL asserted last week. The ANA at its recent convention began attempts to bar nurse from belonging both to union and a professional organ ization by passing resolution pro- claiming the ANA official and ex- elusive collective bargaining agent for all nurses.

AUTOMATIC PROMOTIONS

In Martello V. McKiernan- Terry Corp, a federal district court recent ly held that veteran was entitled to a 2-grade jump on his return from military service. Theory of the court seems to be that the veteran would have normally received such increases if he had not gone into the service and that therefore he is entitled to them on his return.

Lists Improvements In Field Of Benefits
(Contirued from Page One)

(Contirued from Page One) Anti-Injunction bill this was inn possible.
 We were able to secure the enact ment into law of the Second Injury Fund which will make 1t easier for injured veterans of the war and those who were injured on the production line to procure employment. It will also reimburse them for subsequent injuries received in the course of their employment.
 Benefits Increased
 A fund of $50,000 is set up, pay able at the rate of 14o of the total amount of money expended in the pay ment of liabilities under the Work mems Compensation Act for the pre- ceding calendar year. We have also each year increased the benefits to the employee under the Worknens' Com pensation Act. This past session we reduced the waiting period from three weeks to two weeks.
 We also increased the allowance for the loss of phalanges (small bones or joints in the toes and fngers), and provided for the pay ment of doctors bills, called in be- half of the employee to testify in his behalf before the Commissioner when the employee wins an award. We also made it mandatory for the employer to furnish a medical re- port concerning the injured em- ployee to the employee or his at- torney upon request.
 Another inspiring advance was the increase of unemployment benefits making possible payments of $200 a week for each dependent, up to three, and increasing the maximum number of weeks from IS to 20. The Con- necticut maximum of $28.00 a week is the highest in the country.
 More Can Be Done
 These gains were accomplished by long and arduous process, but in their accomplishment the relations of labor and management have become more friendly and more cooperative throughout the year. It is my humble opinion that much more can still be done in the same spirit.

Protests Bring
 No. End Buses

After constant pressure from residents of the North End who must depend solely on transporta- tion by the Connecticut Company. the situation has been temporarily eased and facilities expanded.
 The problem arose when trans portation patrons were being passed up by the bus drivers in the North End stations. Many of the persons were made tardy on their jobs because of stubborn drivers who failed to stop because their coaches were partially filled. There also were a lack of buses on the North End Routes to quote with the number of paying passen- gers and the resentment rose among these residents when it was exposed that some other sections had more buses on their routes than were necessary during the rush hours of early morning workers and afternoon or evening workers.
 The pressure was filed through written complaints to the company and to the Hartford Courant,

Citizens of Hartford and vicinity, we present you our first postwar issue of the HARTFORD CHRONICLE.
 Our first issue was on June 15, 1940, when we were associated with the Springfield, Mass, staff. Our first independent issue was on February 8, 1941, after we had come to the conclusion that Hart ford and vicinity could easily sup port an independent paper. Dur ing August of 1941, due to the complexity of the World War II Crisis, we were forced to publish our final issue for the duration of the world conflict. This temporary termination was necessary because
