Melvin Schultz
Local IL, UAW.ClO
President,

The question of the So-caled Portal to
Portal Pay claims is one which Congress
has been very cautious in its steps to enact lie.
gislation which beat down Labor. 1t does ap-
pear however some Congressman feel now
that they should enact legislation regardless of
its ultimate legality just as means of delay
ing settlement under the Wage and Hour Act
Under Union contracts, seniority is estab-
lished for employees and under the Wage and
Hour Act the Supreme Court has held that EN-.
ployees are entitled to pay for all time which
they are necessarily required to be on the EN-.
ployer's premises Seniority means nothing
except for the significance which is attached to
1t when according to Union contract it gives
a worker the right to job. AS such seniority
is a property right.
The Constitution of the United States. by
virtue of its 5th Amendment, protects property
rights and the Courts of our Land have always
been very outstanding in upholding this provi.
sion of our Constitution.
1t seems to me therefore, that if Congress
now passes a law which would DESTROY the
claims made under the Wage and Hour Act as
property rights of workers, that the Supreme
Court could not help but eventually declare
such law unconstitutional The delay: how.
ever, In hearings and appeals through the
larger part of our remaining lives as physi.
caly qualified workers.
In view of this situation, which we are far.
ing today, think that everyone working for .
living should take stock of the caliber of our
Congressman now meeting in Washington Ger.
tainly when the next election rolls around
again, working people should be on their feet
and willing to elect people who will truly re
present them.
Other legislation which will indirectly hin.
der and impair the efforts of Labor is likely TO
lind widespread support within the present
Congress- For l..
that those agencies of Government, set up for
the protection of Labor, will probably have
their budgets cut to a bare existence level
thereby hampering the efforts of Labor ,In.
reasonably. Watch the actions of Congress and
analyze them deeply. Your future is at stake.

Price increases of pork and other food COM
modities which have been shouting at us from
the front pages of our newspapers this week
have a deeper meaning than the explanations
which are given to us.
Basicaly, the price increases which are
again being forced upon the public are not only
indication of the arrogance and contempt of
the food monopolsts, but may be- and possibly
are bait to lure labor into more forceful
wage demands than have been made up to now
Labor has demonstrated its willingness to
stay put while negotiating for wage increases
1t has done more than this. Actually, labor has
in effect said, "shoW us a substantial reduction
in the cost of living so the income of the work.
ers will not be out of proportion with the cost
of living and we will go along with it."
THE ANSWER
And now comes the answer in sharply adj
vanced prices from those who control the food
which we put on our table
Make no mistake about it, the same minds
which exerted every effort to needle labor dur.
ing the war on the strength of its mo strike"
pledge are still operating. This time, the need.
ling is done with a reactionary anti-abor Con.
gress in the saddle and hopper full of anti.
labor bills written for the sole purpose of
crushing collective bargaining and destroying
the American labor movement as it now exists.
Sooner or later labor will come to the
point where all the cards are on the table and
it may be soon, based upon the price tags
which are now being put upon all commodi.
ties. The issue is, will industry pay its labor
enough money to maintain purchasing power,
or will 1t again attempt, as it did back in 1929
to destroy itself in its haste to make money by
destroying the only thing from which profits
can come - the work and wages of American
labor.
If prices were forced down before because
of the revolt of the people against high prices,
then the workers and plain people are again
being called upon to again do what they did
before. We must either have wages to meet
the increased cost of living, or, and this we
doubt we must have radical reduction in the
price levels.

think we should cooperate
with the union in fighting such
legislation. We should, pass out

"K"-Its like anything else, You
have to educate the people. l
think its PAC's job to get out
and educate the people in what
to do. Writing letters is your
biggest stick, but they must be
bona-fide letters. Your biggest
trouble is in getting working
people to write. The average guy
when you ask him to write says,
"Oh nuts, what's the use. Moth
ing's going TO happen anyhow"
Educating the people in political
activities is PAC's job. If it isn't
their job whose is it? Why not
get a speaker from PAC to talk
at all union meetings if its only
for five minutes.

Behind the
Scenes In
Politics
BY
Clayton
Rusch
Chairman

Political Action Committee
The next few weeks are cru
clal ones for people who .have
10 work for a living.
The rights which the labor
movement has won through
so years long struggle are
now under attack.
Two congressional commit
tees are now considering labor
bills to be presented to Con-
gress.
There are five chief issues
which are drawing the fire of
the reactionaries: The right to
strike, the right to make in
dustry wide agreements, the
union shop, protection from
court suits, and Gripping
amendments to the Wagner
Act.
Every local and unit of
amalgamated locals should
send kilograms and resolutions
to the members of the Senate
and House labor committees.
Every worker should sit
down and write to the mem
bers of these Congressional
Committees, protesting pass
age of anti-labor legislation.
Every worker should also
write to his representatives in
Congress and to Senator Toby,
Chairman of the Senate COM
mlttee on rents and protest
the lifting of rent controls or
any increase in rentals.
The time to act is now. A
few weeks or even few days
may mean the difference be-
tween saving and losing our
hard-Won gains.

Stock Market Uneven,
Declines Of Fractions
To 81 Predominate
BY Victor Eubonk
Associated Press finoncioI Writer


NEW YORK. Nov. 25.-Attempts
to get the stock market back on the
recovery track continued to meet
with considerable opposition today
although individual favorites man
aged to achieve some progress.
Dealings picked up at intervals
after the opening but slowdowns
were frequent. Declines of frac-
tions to a point or more were well
in the majority near the fourth
hour
Many potential investors stood
aside to await more light on business
prospects, foreign affairs and con-
greEsional antiinfation moves. Pleas
ing dividends again were ignored in
most cases. Mounting commodity
prices were deemed more bearish
than otherwise.
Rising money rates and softening
high-grade securities chilled senti-
ment. Tax selling persisted as a
brake but switching operations were
helpful.
