Rubs Out
Gain

WASHINGTON, Jan. Il
1PA) - The most serious
problem facing the nation is
to bring wages into line with
prices-so Secretary of La
Dor Lewis B. Schwellenbach de-
clared this week in his annual
report to Congress.
Events of the past II
months" Schwellenbach told Con.
gress, ''have demonstrated that
our greatest need, from the
standpoint of continued prosper
ity for the individual wage earn.
ers and the whole economy, is
to bring about a more stable bal.
ance between prices and wages.
The overall picture for the
year was lone of prosperity
with employment hitting the
60,0o0,000 mark and national
production reaching the S225 bill
lion mark, Schwellenbach ex'
planned.
Price Rise Continues
At the same time, however
prices were continuing to rise
at such a rapid pace that mil
lions of families found it in
creasingly difficult to maintain
their standard of living" he
pointed out.
Whatever wage increases Ia
Dor won during the year "gen-
orally were erased by the spiral
ling cost of living" Schwellen-
bach asserted.
Where workers were protected
by strong unions, they weathered
the year in better shape, he made
it clear. 'The hardest hit were
the unorganized workers, espe-
cially those in the lowest income
who received fewer and
wage increases, as well
as white collar workers and
other persons on relatively fixed
incomes" Schwellenbac hsaid-
The Secretary also cited the
fact that within the limits of
the authority granted by law and
to the extent of its facilities and
personnel, the Labor Dept. made
contributions to full
and high level pro-
duction of civilian goods"

Gosser Hits AT
Wallace Action

Richard Gosser, Interna-
tional vice-president, las t
week hit at the third-party
movement headed by Henry
Wallace and declared that he
believed it was playing into the
hands of both the extreme left
wing and reactionaries.
In a press conference at the
Commodore Perry Hotel, Jan.
8, Mr.. Gosser declared that "by
announcing his candidacy for
president, Henry Wallace does
nothing but confuse real lib
eral-thinking people who be-
lieve in democracy and the
American way of life.
"The far-leftists believe that
the third party will force upon
us a reactionary government
which will deprive people of
their right to organize trade
unions and to bargain for real
wages, hours and working con-
ditions. They hope and believe
that this will create the con-
fusion on which they thrive" !"
ST hope that the American
worker does not become con-
fused by this move"
Expressing the hope that one
of the two major parties would
become a liberal party, the
UAW head declared that, Il
agree that if one of the two
major parties will not become
a liberal party to represent the
people, it is up to the factory
workers, the white collar work
ers, farmers and small business
men to form a liberal third
party, but this is not the time
for it.
"I predict that an attempt by
anyone in Toledo to promote
Wallace's candidacy will get
very little support from organ
lied labor"

Experts Give
Bosses Advice

NEW YORK, Jan. IA (LPA)
20. c. Cool, Director of Labor
Relations Institute, an old hand
at a dyising management on
chiselling the workers, and Sid
ney Fish, N. Y. Journal of Com
merce labor expert" last week
told employers how to make the
best use of Taft-Hartley.
Anti-boycott provisions of the
law can be interpreted to void
union contract clauses which
have prevented employers from
sub-contracting work out to
other firms, Cool says. Sub-con-
tracing, the basis of the sweat
shop system against which union
labor has fought, is very profit
able at times, Cool reminds.
Anti featherbedding provisions
of the law, Cool says, if used
vigorously can help reduce costs.
Taft Hartley's provisio n
against unions "coercing" en-
ployers in the choice of bargain
ing agents may be used to avoid
requests for industry-wide col
lective bargaining, Cool thinks
1t permits employers to "insist
upon genuine bargaining at the
local level"
The Journal of Commences
Fish is very much afraid that if
employers aren't on the alert,
labor may win too many union
shop contracts despite Taft
Hartley hindrance. DESERVING the
old employer propaganda line
that rank and file workers don't
want union security contracts,
he admits that unions have been
successful in NLRB elections on
the union shop issue, and urges
employers who grant security
contracts to use this clause as a
bargaining feature against other
labor demands.

Mr.. Gosser stated that mass

the setting of the specific wage
increase to be proposed to the
automotive industry plants for
the two-fold purpose of organ
Iizing "a drive. to- force down
prices and uniting the UAW
members here for their wage
drive.
'It is our intention to unite
our people so that their inter
ests will be protected as well as
the interests of those who may
be called upon to make a sacri-
flee to secure their demands,
said the UAW head.
Substantial Hike Expected
While the UAW Vice Presi-
dent did not divulge the amount
of the wage boost, he said, lit
will be a substantial amount. "
He repeated the position taken
by the international union that
failure of the federal govern
ment and industry to stop the
inflationary spiral forced the
union to demand a cost of living
wage increase.
Initial announcement of the
unions intention to seek a wage
increase was made Dec. 2 by
Philip Murray following meet
ing in Washington of all top
CIO officials.
President Murray in announc-
ing the forthcoming wage drive
said:
