BRITAIN WORKING TOWARD A SOUND
POLICY GOVERNING WAGES

The British trade unions are feel
ing their way. cautiously and-lor the
present-non-commiitally. towards a
general wage policy which Will take
account Of both the short.term eco
monte problems in which Britain is in
volyed and of the long-term interests
of labor in nationalized industry. BY
the more far-sighted trade union lead
ers il is regarded as ~regrettable tha,
the agenda of the annual Trades Tn
ion Congress. due to meet IN Sep
tember. contains no resolutions deal
ing directly with the subject Of wages.
The nearest approach TO the question
is Il resolution from the biz general
labor organization. the National Union
of General and Municipal Workers.
urging a government inquiry into dis
tribution costs. profits and prices,
with Il view to safeguarding the value
of real wages to maintain the stand
ard OF living.
The new general secretary of this
big union. Tom Williamson. member
of parliament. has expressed the hope
that a full-dress debate on this and
other aspects of the wages question. in
its bearings upon the problem of in
creasing production and providing
new incentives to the w-agaearners,
will arise at the forthcoming congress.
Like many other responsible union
leaders. he considers 1t necessary from
the trade union standpoint to counter
act the insistent' propaganda for a
down by Britain's government. This
would mean. he says. on close scrut.
my. that the government would regu

late wages by decree or by veto upon
particular wage claims.
II can be taken as certain that the
present government will not impose
any such wages policy upon the I'M
ions. The notion OF direct govern
ment regulation Of wages has been
explicitly repudiated by leading min
listers. and specifically by Mr.. Herbert
Morrison. who leads Britain's house
OF and who shares with
Sir Stafford Cribbs. president of the
Board of Trade. the responsibility OF
defining and defending the govern
ment's industrial policy. Other min
listers with trade union experience.
like sIr. Ernest Bevin. secretary of
state for foreign affairs. have lent no
~countenance to the view that the
practice of free and voluntary collec-
tive bargaining. which British indus
try maintained throughout World War
II. with the avowed approval and sup
port of the coalition government. must
row be discarded.

Whitney said the progressive spirit
that thrilled the masses during the
days Of Franklin d. Roosevelt has
been bridled. He invited American
citizens to inculcate into the minds
of the people the necessity Of exer-
cising their intelligent judgment and
keen vision. and to stampede the vot-
ing booths in l94S with sufficient bal
lots to reduce the near-Fascist groups
in our congress-
The speaker c%ontended IF we are
to continue to hold our advanced posi-
ton as leaders among nations we
never must relax our efforts to
strengthen the civic, moral and spirit
ual forces Of our country. That AN
not be done by Stacking the rights
Of the people, by permitting reins Of
government to continue in the hands
OF big business. No nation can pros
per if the masses are in distress or
suffer in degradation. Success Of our
form of government as well as our
general progress are so allied with the
great masses who earn their living
through salaries and wages, that they
constitute the very essence Of prog
ress.'
In opening his address. Whitney at
tackled Republican congressman, say
ing coming from Ohio where the peo-
pie are actually without representa-
ton in the senate and with but scant
representation in the house, | salute
and congratulate you citizens Of Mon

has resented and resisted to a greater

FACTS for
the VETERAN

While Dennis NJ. was undergo
ing his physical examination prior
to being inducted, the examining
physician accidentally punctured
his eardrum, resulting in a partial
loss of Dennis hearing. Because
of the hearing loss, Dennis was not
inducted and therefore saw no ac-
tive military service. Dennis filed
claim for pension. He is now re-
ceiving S23 monthly from the Vet
Grams Administration. But Dennis
has found that his impaired hear
ing a:ects his efficiency as a tele-
phone company maintenance repair
man and feels he should take
training for some other kind of
work. He feels that he can "get
ahead" if the Veterans Administra-
ton will pay him a subsistence of
S105 per month and will pay ex-
penses of his new vocational train
ing.
Although Dennis M. actually did
not have active service within the
meaning of the law, special legis-
lation provides a pension for those
inductees who incur disabilities Sin
line of duty" after being ordered
to report for service by selective
Service boards. 1t is because of
this special legislation that Dennis
is now receiving his monthly PEN
sion. But there is no provision in
this special law for vocational re-
habilitation under the Veterans
Smyrna times., 1947-07-03

Administration. Dennis, therefore,
is not eligible for this benefit.
He was advised by a Home Ser
vice worker in his local Red Cross
chapter to apply to the state for
vocational training because, under
present federal law, funds for such
training are available to each
state. Many states now are offer
ing subsistence allowances, train
ing expenses, and prosthetic appli-
ances, according to the neds of the
individual who applies.
