1870 Raise .eded
TO Stop Recession

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10
(LPA)-A small but powerful
group of U. s. employers would
like to see n business recession
because they want to see men,
hat In hand, waiting for Jobs" /"
according to Richard v. Gilbert,
former chief OPA economist.
Gilbert, In an address here,
declared that an average 15%
wage increase would hold a
price decline to only s to 1917
in a recession that just about
everybody expects" He told a
labor relations conference that
1T would be craftsmanship of a
high order, craftsmanship that
would head off a recession, II
business would grant wage in
creases to increase buying power
at the same time that II reduced
prices to push sales"
Thomas I. Emerson, former
general counsel of the Office of
War Mobilization g. Recover
sion said that pending anti-labor
legislation presented two pos
sible paths. One school OF
thought, he said, sought return
to q period of repression and
curtailment of labor's rights.
The alternative. which he en-
phasized as "the only hope Of
preserving the structure of de-
mocracy," would be a conscious
and affirmative effort TO recog-
nize labor's place of responsible
ity In a modern industrial So
ciety,

Is, d. c., and senator's at Sen
ate Office Bldg, Washington rs
D. c.
Stressing the Importance o.
maintaining rent controls, Mr.
Rusch called upon all unior
people, particularly those whC
rent their homes to write then
senator's protesting S AIS, the
Hawkes. Rent Control Bill
which extends control to 194t
but destroys its effectiveness by
granting a Is per cent increase
and exercises absolutely no con
troll on new homes.
Other bills recommended foI
protest by the PAC chairman
are HR I, the Knutson bill, Il
soak the poor by granting &c
per cent tax cuts which would
mean little to the small tax pay
ers but results in millions oi
dollars In savings to big bust
ness and the wealthy.
Bills to limit portal-to-portal
suits and weaken vital sections
of the Wage-Hour Law should
also be protested. When you
write your representatives and
senators mention these bills
They are s 40 and 10, Capthart-
Wiley bills, and HR $50, the
Gwynne Bill.
Asks Union Cooperation
'If our people will just take a
few minutes of their time and
write TO their congressman, II
would make II a lot easier for
our CIO representatives In
Washington TO put pressure on
the law Makers" said Rusch.
"All of US should realize by
now that unless we take a firm
position and fight against the
vicious legislation that Repub-
licans and reactionary Demo
Gratis are aiming at the unions
and plain people of this country
that we are due for some very
serious trouble. None of us can
afford 70 be indifferent to the
things which will have a seri.
Gus effect upon our every day
lives and our standard Of liv-
Ing" he concluded.

the oldest of his three works in
the exhibition, is done in deep
tones and modelling of the Munich
school. Eary in his Paris life he
came under the influnce of Matisse
under the influence of Matisse,
and was the first American paint
err to adopt "fauvism". He and
Hartley We're both friends of Ger

can be seen in his painting
Head.
Mervin Jules Kids at Play" in
strong contrast to his Still Life"
which makes up his works in the
exhibition is representation of the
modern movement. His sharply
defined forms, slightly exaggerat-
ed, as well as the types depicted,
remind us of the joyless recrea-
ton in city alleys, by underprivi-
legged children.
All of these paintings are good,
