Entire Nation Would Benefit From
Establishment Of MvA
IN answering the second question:
who would benefit by an MVA?' 1t
is obvious that an area so s~tupendous
as the Missouri basin. containing more
than a half million square miles OF ter
ritory and with a present population
Of more than sever millions OF people,
would. if developed as the Missouri
Valley Authority would develop II.
benefit not only the people living with
in the valley itself but would benefit
the people of the entire nation, yes,
even the big interests which are now
opposing ii. A Missouri Valley Auth
ority would be of immediate benefit
to our own International Union. ThOus-
dllu vi Oul UlCiilbVis i uNSiiihc NiN
working in the great Missouri valley
in various industries and thousands
more would be here ii the valley were
properly developed. The ClO would
benefit enormously both Immediately
and in the future. According to reli-
able estimates an MNA could give EN-
ployment to 100. 1000 men for five years
on construction, $500 for four years
building power lines, 5000 for six
years in manufacture Of transmission
and distribution appliances. providing
for $4,000 jobs in the electrical equip
ment industry alone. This would be
just a commencement and does not
take into account the vast increase in
population and prosperity which would
come to the Missouri valley states by
the irrigation of millions more acres
Of land and the building Of innumer-
able more industries which would I'M
doubtedly occur under the MVA as it
has under IVA. A half million square
miles is an empire in itself and if
properly developed to the fullest extent
would unQuestionably benefit all of the
people of the United States.
For this reason we of lUMM&SW
should make the establishment of a
Missouri Valley Authority one of our
major detectives. Let's go after il
with everything we have!

emanating from the fertile brains of

final result was the temporary defeat

Would An MvA Function Properly,
And Who Would Benefit BY It?

10 answer the IlfSt question one has
only to look at the accomplishments
OF the Tennessee Valley Authority.
Before the act establishing it was fin
ally passed by congress it was assailed
just as v~iciously and by the same mon
opoly groups as are opposing the MVA
movement. The same arguments we're
used and for the same motives. Time,
however, has proven all arguments
against the IVA utterly false. It's bit.
terest former opponents have been
forced to concede that the IVA turned
out to be the greatest development of
ancient or modern times. Before its
establishment the unfortunate inhabit-
ants of the Tennessee drainage basin
had suffered from all the ills visited
on the people of the Missouri Valley
and from the anne causes. The Ten
nesse drainage basin is small compar
ed to the great Missouri basin, con
tanning only about Al, 900 square miles
as compared to over a half million
square miles for the latter, but mil
lions of dollars worth OF damage had
frequently been done by the floods,
much valuable land and property had
been destroyed and thousands Of peo-
pie had been forced to flee their homes
and try to make a living elsewhere.
All this has been changed. The Ten
nessee valley, 81 eroded and wasted
IL years ago that it was providing only
a miserable living for most of its peo-
pie, is today our nations most promis.
ing postwar frontier. Industry and
agriculture are developing together in
the river valley as a unit. The IVA

The record in New York is typical
of all states.
The war brought home building to
a stop and when the shooting war ended
the bureaucrats saw to it that materials
were still hard to get. But despite this
handicap, home building would still
have had a hard time keeping up with
the demand if the birth rate had been
so large without the war.
The overcrowding of schools, espec-
tally the colleges and universities, is
largely due to the return Of veterans
whose schooling was interrupted by
the call to arms. Again at home, they
are going back to school determined to
complete their education, and the
schools have not been able to expand
their facilities in proportion to the

Labor Day

For the most part business is sus-
pended in honor of Labor Day.
While the holiday spirit prevails and
recreation in general is in or der, it IS
still worth while to consider the days
deeper significance.
It is because American labor had
such an important part in the great
development of the United States that
it was deemed eligible for national
recognition, with the result that on
June %, 1894, Congress passed a law
setting aside the first Monday in Sep
tember for the purpose. Annually since
then, Labor Day has been widely OBJ
served.
+ Because this country is about to test
3 new Labor Control law enacted in the
first session of the 80th. Congress over
President Truman's veto, and no man
can foretell what the results will be-,
there is reason for every worker in
every union to devote part of the day
to serious contemplation of the re-
sponsibilities that rest upon him, as
well as upon industry and capital, en-
ployers and government, that the record
of achievement in the formative years
of Americas greatness may not be
marred.
In his great story, 'The Man Without
"A Country" a fascinating book which
ought 20 be as widely read now as in
the past, Edward Everett Hale wrote:
Behind all these men you have to
do with, behind officers, and govern
ment, and people even, there is the
Country Herself, your Country, and .
you belong to her as you belong to your
own mother. Stand by Her. as you
would stand by your mother"
Think this over, whatever your work,
whether in labor's ranks or official
position, whether in manufacturing or
business, as you celebrate Labor Day
today.
