elgn and domestic policy.
There are great issues today
and we shall either meet them
with courage or pay the costs
IN the misery of depression
and war. Let labor view with
alarm the danger imposed by
men whose primary interest is
the protection of their excess
sive economic power and who
will, perhaps unwittingly, give
US an American version of
Italian FasciSm, Or German
Nazism, unless labor acts.
THESE are the men who
who raise the loudeSt hue and
cry about the menace of COM
munism, and it is alarming to
hear them parroted by some
leaders of labor. We cannot
fall prey to such generated
fears. Unqualified devotion to
the principles of political free
dom-confidence in democracy
demands constant, untiring
efforts and does not permit the
luxury of self-indulgence in
factionalism.
The labor officials who help
find candidates for Congress,
who demand progressive pro-
grams, and who rally their
members around the only ban
ner they will accept-the ban
ner OF progress-can be poll
ticaily effective. They can help
change our present dangerous
course. They can help save

peril than many yet beheVe.

start to slump as production
falls off, but contemporary
business seems TO have slipped
a veto into the works. Produc-
ton has been declining since
March-but prices keep right on
skyrocketing.
Al couple of concrete exam
pies illustrate the trend. Take
shoes. High prices cut demand
SO sharply that in the first six
months of this year production
dropped 20%. Formerly, shoe
manufacturers would have
noted that drop in demand and
started trimming their prices.
Instead, retail prices just jump
ed another SOC to ST. a pair.
Then there's mems clothing.
Prices are SO high that trade
reports indicate production will
fail 20qS to 25 % by next spring.
But retail prices will go up an

THE Justice Dept. admitted
this in its statement when it
stressed that lone of the great
est threats to our welfare lay
in the increasing concentration
of power in the hands Of a
small number of giant organi-
cations. We find that to
greater extent than ever be-

then? Do the manufacturers
become good little boys, or do
they declare a holiday as they
formerly did under OPA? Their
profits are so swollen that they
could afford to take a vaca-
ton while starving the worker
and beating the government
into submission, keeping only
trickle of goods on the open
market, creating a false con-
dition of scarcity while clean
ing up in the black market.
After all industry is privately
owned. Patriotism runs a los
ing race TO the dollar. Our
laws against price fixing by
trusts and monopolies seldom
work. for government itself is
too closely lied to Big Business

key Washington posts.

LABOR'S leaders know that
they can't deliver a vote by
personally indorsing a candi-

The Democratic party should
not be fooled. Its hopes for
victory in 1913 rest not on the
occasional Endorsement of the
administration coming from a
trade union official, but on
actually getting the forces of
organized labor to ring door
bells and enthusiastically cam
paign for the party's candi-
dates. Such enthusiasm will
come only from a dynamic
program and truly progressive
candidates.
It is not enough for labor
to use the Taft-Hartley vote

find that leaping prices more
than wipe out our new pay

How much of the dollar YOU

the workers who prepare it for

According to recent Gallup

American Legion and un-Am-

still mounting cost of living.
In fact, only one person out

of 100 were mainly alarmed at
stratoSpheric prices and the
difficulty of making both ends
meet.

saved by public ownership of

in public housing projects and
compare them with rates for
similar quarters in privately
owned dwellings.

OBVIOUSLY. I see only one
real solution to the problem of
dizzy prices. Since private
enterprise is interested solely
in private profits and will re-
Sist to your last dollar the
government control of am
effective OPA or the "inter-
ference" of effective antitrust
legislation, we can turn no way
but to public ownership of
basic industry with labor hav-
ing an equal say-so in opera
ton.
In that fashion we can lower
and control the cost of living.
To make it a reality, all we
need do is elect able officials
committed to this course of ac-
ton. Labor can lead the way
in the 1913 elections.
