BUREAU REPORTS
ON INSURANCE

WASHINGTON.-At least 3.0OO.OW
American workers are covered by
health pension insurance contracts with
their employers. according to a report
released bv the Labor department.
The number OF workers is about tive
times as many as were included under
such contracts in l945, the Bureau OF
Labor Statistics survey disclosed.
Behind the figures is the tact that
/ workers have shown increased interest
| in additional economic security Denefits
| and unions have been successful IN
| transmitting their desires into tangible
| contract provisions.
In MANY cases workers. through their
! unions, have voluntarily refused part,
or all, OF any immediate wage Increase
offered By an employer to devote the
money, instead, to the promotion OF an
insurance program. This same interest
in welfare is demonstrated III union
demands Tor a broad expansion OF the
federal governments social secur-
ity plan.
or the trends a new Labor department
publication has this to say:
"These tinsurance) programs, III one
form or another, exist today i'll varying
degree in nearly 100 national or inter
national unions.
Large numbers OF workers IN 'he
following industries are covered by
some type Of health. welfare, andfor
retirement benefit plans secured
through collective bargaining
"Clothing (men's and womens s., tex
tiles, coal mining. construction. ma
chinery particularly electrically, rub
Der. paper. furniture, %shipbuilding, steel,
utilities, retail and wholesale trade, To-
cal transportation, fur and leather,
cleaning and dyeing, hotel, commercial
telegraphv. and p~laythings and jewelry.'
In the past the federal government
did much to help unions win insurance
protection.
First. the governments social Sc
curity program, begun early III the late
President Rooscvclt's administrator
encouraged labor unions to amply
those benefits through private plan:
with employers.
Then, in the war years, the govern
ment limited wage increases, but per
mitted employers to inaugurate, or ex
pand worker insurance plans (sinc

gaining with unions. -,
Some OF the plans are financed D
the employer and workers jointly, son
by the employer alone: Some are vi
tually industry-wide, but most OF n
benefit plans cover only members OF
local, rather than an entire union.
With such plans seemingly on
steady increase, the Department
Labor reported that the trends are:

WHICH SIDE OF THE BREAD IS
OUR MARGARINE ON?

The time has come when. in all fairness. we
may a. vel admit that there are two sides to
every question. Even in politics.
ABB Lincoln once explained this by showing
that the word liberty has two meanings. The
Shepherd," Lincoln said, drives the wolf from
the sleeps throat for which the sheep thanks
the shepherd az his liberator, while the volt de-
nounces him for the same act as the destroyer
of liberty"
When we listen to these political speeches on
the radio, we try to figure out which side OF the
bread our margarine is on. In other words,
are we sheep or WOLFF
Take Bob Taft's recent speech in which that
son of a president presented as the official Re
publican view that labor is primarily respon-
aible for high prices.
Here is what Taft said:
The situation which gives concern to MEM
bers Of both parties is the spiral OF initiation re-
sulting in constantly higher prices. But, OF
course. the higher prices are caused directly by
the greatly increased purchasing power Of the
people competing for all kinds of food and
other commodities.
Prices, Taft believes. have been chasing
wages ever since he helped kill OPA.
That's Taft's side of the story. Now lets
look at the other side.
Let's see whether wages went up higher and
faster since the wartime peak. The year 1914
was the last full year of war. Profits were at a
peak. Prices were controlled by OPA. And,
there was no unemployment.
Here are the official Commerce department
figures:
From 1914 to l947. profits of manufactur-
ing corporations jumped sc per cent.
From 1914 to l947. income of farmers rose
80 per cent.
From 1914 to l947, total wages paid by
manufacturing corporations actually declined
VI Of ! per cent. from $42.9 billion in 1914 to
$42.7 billion last year. This decline resulted
from a sharp reduction in working hours after
the war. During this same period, profits Of
these same corporations rose from $50 billion

OK NOW

Sit back and relax-and quit worrying about
high prices. Make like you re a Republican
congressional leader.
There's nothing to worry about-realiy.
Most Of your financial troubles are imagi-
narv-not inflationary. And you'll be able to
get adequate housing in a few years.
Those big profit figures you We been reading
don't mean a thing. Theyr re based not upon
real but upon inflated dollars.
And besides. you've now been protected
from yourself. You can no longer get your
self in a bad hole by buying on the installment
plan the necessities for which you re unable to
pay cash.
What are you gripping about. anyhow
You re working, aren't you? Things are bet
ter than they were when millions were unem-
ployed.
Suppose round steak does cost more than a
buck a pound. You don't have to eat steak,
do you2
And why be so stupid about economics?
Haven't you learned that til fitting and proper
for the big corporations to act like hogs now
and then2 They re going to use their profits to
expand, not so they can make more profits
but so they can provide jobs when theyr re
needed.
There's really nothing to worry about as
long as the Republicans are in power and the
corporations make bigger profits every year.
And if you don't believe it just ask the Re-
publicans and the corporation executives.
But don't ask us. High prices and the hous-
ing situation have us in such a dopey state we
might tell you the truth. And the truth bears
no resemblance to the COP-big business story.
