LABOR'S WEAKNESS
HANDICAPS ALL
Some idea of the difficulty of
reaching a satisfactory condition of
labor-management relations and
understanding in this country, par
ticularly so far as large and nation
wide groups are concerned, can be
gained through looking at the re-
cent fare-up between top figures of
the United Automobile Workers Un-
ion (CIO) in Detroit.
When the president of this large
union and it's secretary-treasure
push charges and counter-charges,
including those of wasting a half
million dollars in workers dues,
payroll padding and effort to sabo-
tage a pension plan in the interest
of personal advantage in a union
!. political scrap, how can those on
the management side of discussions
expect much in the way of concrete
results?
If the current situation in the
UAW-CIO were unusual, or if like
conditions did not exist to a GER
tain degree in many of the other la.
Dor organizations that are not domi-
mated entirely by one personality
such as a Lewis or Petrillo, il

Tax Reduction Coming

A Democratic senator back from
the Rockies says people are not
much interested in tax reduction.
His vote for the Truman veto was
not protested by his constituents.
Other Democrats back this view. In
fact, they back it so well as to sug-
gest concerted plan has been made
to talk along this line.
A Republican from the western
farm belt found exactly the oppo-
site situation, unsurprisingly, in his
nearby state. He says people are
alive to the needs of venture capital
and tax reduction, and are not over
conscious of the high public debt.

lJnion Members 0nieiiered

MI AIN I thousands OF members OF
AsA labor unions, those affiliated
with both AFL and CIO. have been
individually interrogated on various
provisions of the Taft Hartley labor
law. On only one provision of that
law have as much as so per cent OF :
labor union members voiced disap-
proval That provision was the one
that prohibits closed shops unless at
least so per cent of the employees.
union and non-union, vote in favor
of such a shop. Only 48 per cent OF
union labor members favored that
part of the law. OF all other provi-
sions, from so to as high as IS per
cent were in favor.
The labor bosses have raised y
a loud wall of protest against
the law. They have branded it
as ''sIave labor" enactment,
but they are not supported by
the rank and file of the MEM
bership OF their organizations.
The labor bosses have threatened
to defeat any candidate of either
party who does not stand for the
repeal of that law. That threat has
frightened the politicians Of both
parties. The politicians believe the
wild statements of the labor bosses,
rather than the demonstrated facts.
The congressional elections of 1946
fully demonstrated that the union
worker votes as an American citi-
zen, not as a member of a labor
organization; that the demands OF
labor bosses have little effect on
union members once they are inside
a voting booth. They vote for candi-
dates they believe viii be best for
America, not as a labor boss di-
rects. That is the American way,
and the rank and file of labor union
members are first of all Americans.
CAN'T CONTROL VOTES
Latest evidence of this loyalty to
the American way on the part OF
members of labor unions was an
election to fill vacancy in congress
in the eighth district of Pennsyl.
vania. That district is distinctly In
dustrial. A majority of the voters
are members of labor unions EN-
ployed in factories and mines.
The campaign was fought on
the one issue of approval or dis
approval of the Taft-Harsley
act. The one candidate, sup
ported by the labor bosses. was
an official of labor union. The
opposing candidate, who sup
ported the Taft-Hartley act, &C
cepted the issue as demanded
by the labor bosses. The labor
bosses put back of their candi-
date everything they had from
all over the nation. The pro-
Taft-HartIey candidate won by
the largest majority ever given
} a candidate for congress In that
district.
; That was another thorough dem
onstration that the American unio
workman votes as he wishes, an
not as he is told. The labor bosses
threats of retaliation at the polls ar
! but bluff. They cannot control votes
The same thing is true in the cas-
OF every minority group in Americs

THE AMERICAN
RUBBER INDUSTRY

RUBBER INDUSTRY
P. w. Litchfield, chairman of the
board of The Goodyear Tire & Rub
ber Company, said in a review of
the first two postwar years in the
rubber industry that the tremen-
Gous tire shortage of VI Day would
be filled by the end of the year with
the price to consumers less than the
1889 prewar list price.
In another of his series of Notes
on Americas Rubber Industry" Mr.
Litchfield noted that his particular
field could look back upon a record
of brilliant performance for vic
tory.
"A new source of rubber supply
had been created and adequate pro-
duction rates from this source had
been achieved in time to avoid ma
tional disaster" stated the dean of
the American rubber industry.
In order to record concrete ach-
ievement of the rubber industry in
the interests of the National econo-
my and those of individual con-
sumers of rubber, Mr.. Litchfield
compared the year 1947 against the
prewar year of 1889.
Nineteen hundred forty-seven
production, he reported, is at the
rate of 20,0OO,000 more passenger
car tires than in 1899; 14,000.OOO
more truck and tractor tires than in
1889. Besides today's passenger
tires are unqestionably giving sub
stantially more mileage than those
Of 1889. They are priced to the con-
sumner at per cent less than the
1889 list prices, and Mr.. Litchfield
insists that the 50,000,000 tire shor-
tage of VI Day will be completely
! filled before the end of the current
year, and he asks: 'In price, quail.
ty and output, what American in
dustry can match this record?"
Mr.. Litchfield stated that tota
employment and annual wages il
the rubber industry were up prac
tically 10 per cent. He placed tht
number of production workers a
121 900 in 1889 compared with 224,
900 in 1947. He listed the average
annual wage as $1,448 in 1889 al
compared with $2,814 for this year
"In 1885," he added, "the Rub
; her Industry's tax bill, Federal
State and local exclusive of excise
was $13,000,000. In 1945 (the las
available statistics). it was 1928,
100000.
,, The rubber company executiv
asserted that "only under tn
American system of free, competi
: tive enterprise could such signifi
cant human progress be achieved
and outlined the peacetime prob
lens in this way:
Space and facilities which ha
been used in the production of wa
: items had to be reconverted and re
organized to the goods of peace. La
: : Dor had to be retained. Men flooG
, ing back from the service had to b
. absorbed. War plants had to b
: closed and new plants had to b
acquired"
By using an historic comparison
Mr.. Litchfield revealed these cunt
lative results:
. . Forty years ago a Goodyear tiT
: worker received 40 cents an hou
= while the price of the tire he bui
was $35 and could not be expecte
to give more than 1000 miles {
service-making one hours wOr
equivalent in value to % miles (
q tire service.
Today the tire workers averae
: hourly rate is $1.63, price of the til
; to consumer is $14.40 and it can /

! 900 miles of service-making OF
2 hours work equivalent in value
$500 miles of tire service.

Incentive Pay in Britain

LEWIS H. BROWN. chairman Of
the board of Johns-Manville corpo-
ration, made a two-month trip to
Europe at request of Gen. Lucius d.
Clay, commanding American occu-
patton forces in Germany. In his re-
port to General Clay and the state
department, Brown strongly urges
incentives be paid British miners as
a means of producing more coal. In
all probability it would work, but
can it be expected that socialistic
government will violate the basic
and fundamental principle of social
ism that provides for an equality Of
distribution of everything for every
body, regardless of individual effort
or ability? More food for one miner
than another would do just that, and
the fundamental of socialism would
be wrecked. The best way to dig
more English coal is for England to
discard her socialistic government
and the bureaucracy that operates
the mines, and put the mines in the
hands of those who possess the know
how of coal mine operation. Brown
could not say that in his official
report.
The general public and many of
the big corporation rank and file
stockholders severely criticise the
large pensions provided for corpora
ton executives. They feel the pen
stoned executives might have prsc-
ticed bit of thrift when they were
earning and receiving big salaries.
That 81 per cent In freight
rates the railroads are asking
for would add about $50 to the
price of an automobile on the
Pacific coast.

DON'T GIVE UP YOUR

Washington, d. c. October-Dis-

fies the fact that Americans cashed-

faster rate in the past few weeks

No matter how poor you are you
CAN meet your insurance premi-

per cent interest. But just take your
policy around to the local banker
and he will give you all the money
ii calls for, at around four per cent.

S. G. Brown Takes
Over AS Engineer

One of the mandates of the cleo
ton of November, 1916, was the re-
placement of Democratic appointees
with Republicans. Accordingly, on

as the office secretary. She was for
merly employed by The Farmers &
Merchants Bank in Caldwell, as
bookkeeper and later assistant cash
ier. At one time she worked for The

Kentucky, as bookkeeper, and for
almost two years has been an asso-
ciate of The Lazarus Store in Col
umbus.
