Price Cut Bunkum

The much heralded price break has re-
solved itself into a colossal piece of ballyhoo
with employer associations beating drums
and waving flags in an about attempt to
create the well-known mountain out of the
well-known molehill.
Even the authenticity of the slump is
under direct fire, with the UAW-AFL and
other prominent labor organizations pointing
to the probability of a big business ruse de-
signed to take the heat off labor's third round
OF wage demands.
Even by stretching a portland a long
stretch is required--and granting that the
slump is authentic, how deep did it actual
~ go?
This is what t.. S. Commissioner of Labor
Statistics Evan Clague told a press confer
ence a week ago: 'Outside of the agricul-
tural commodities markets, there has been
no appreciable drop in prices of commodities
traded on organized exchanges In fact,
latest reports from manufacturers indicate a
continued rise into February in the price Of
such commodities as coal and petroleum,
lumber and cement, wooden goods and steel
products
Referring to the food price cuts, Clague
said that Even in foods, which have declined
on the average, the important declines have
centered in a few foodstuffs while others
have been only slightly affected and som
have even increased. Price cuts have diff
fered widely in different stores. Many
grocers have apparently cut prices on selected
items before they themselves have received
the benefit of lower wholesale costs. Wheth-
er these cuts are maintained or extended de-
ponds largely on the extent to which the
drop in primary market prices is reflected in
lower wholesale costs of foods in local mar
kets."
Clague at the same time released figures
showing that on January Is, the consumers
price index reached a new all-time high each
of the groups of the index-food, apparel,
rent, fuel, house furnishings, and miscellan-
eOus-was also at a new postwar high. He
indicated that the three or four per cent drop
in food prices between January Is and mid
February might easily turn out to be offset
by rises in rents and apparel. and perhaps
also fuel.
And in the midst of all the slump fanfare
the steel industry boosts prices again! With
the basic raw material, steel, still looming up
ward, and practically every durable product
thus given an excuse to follow, the so-called
price break can undoubtedly be put down
as another effort on the part Of industry to
keep profits at record highs while maintain
ing wages at their present inadequate level.

Security

Every working man and woman who pays
Social Security taxes from his pay has a con-
Germ with the current failure of congress to
adjust old age benefits to the increased cost
of living.
The old age insurance benefits of the
Social Security Act were passed by congress
in 1885 with the express purpose of allowing
men and women to retire at IS with "some
measure of self-respect and independence
Yet today the average retired worker with
a wife to support receives a benefit of only
$500 a month for the family. 1t is ridic-
ulous to expect them to maintain a living
standard of any kind on such a pitiful
amount.
Today living costs have more than
doubled. Old age benefits have not been
increased one cent. Congress is responsible
for all our laws-including Social Security.
A committee of congress is expected to
consider the recommendations of the Social
Security Administration for increasing bene-
fits sometime in the next two months.

Best Wisllc,

March / was the Labor Departments 35th
anniversary.
1t was the late President William Howard
Taft, father of the present senator from Ohio,
who signed the act creating the Department
OF Labor as an executive branch Of the gov
ernment on March 4, 1913.
At times since then, it has appeared that
the department was reluctant to acknowl-
edge its obligation to organized labor, pre-
ferring to consider itself as a social agency.
Under Secretary Schwellenbach. however,
trade unions have been given greater recog-
milton than ever before in the departments
35 year history. unhappily, the Taft-Hart-
ley congress takes no better view of the
Department Of Labor than it does of organ
lied labor. And in the same year that it
enacted the Taft-Hartley Act, it slashed the
Departments appropriation until today its
usefulness is seriously impaired.
To the Department and its employees, we
give our best wishes for better times next
year.

Action by the supreme court in upholding
the power Of the federal government to con-
tinue rent control is heartening to trade un-
ionists.
The decision is Of particular Importance
because if rent controls had been declared
invalid, the government would have been
equally powerless to continue all other nee
essary types of wal emergency legislation.
Quite appropriately, we think, the court
passed over the argument of those hoping to
end controls with the brief statement that
states rights are not being invaded.
Now that the supreme court has done it's
part in clearing the way, it would be reassur-
ing to know that congress is prepared to pass
a really effective law, to replace the rickety
law that expired on February 20.
But the truth is that congress deliberately
delayed action on this important measure
until the last minute so President Truman
would have no chance to veto an inadequate
measure.

Fate of Trapped Troops .

NANKING, Dec. 16 (P.-The Chi
nese government and the Commu-
nists made simultaneous announce
ments tonight, one saying the gov
eminent 18th Army Group had
escaped a Red trap, the other say
ing it had been completely wiped
out"
The government announcement
by the Defense Ministry, said the
18th had broken through the Com
munist encirclement and joined
other Nationalist forces northwest
of Pengpu, a little over 100 miles
from Nanking.
The Communist broadcast said
the remnants of the 18th, after "a
days of close entrapment, had been
destroyed Wednesday night as they
tried to break out towards the West
The 18th had been trapped In
the Suhsien sector 145 miles from
Marking. A previous government
report that it had broken free last
week proved incorrect.
The government admitted three
days ago that the 18th had lost
some $4,000 men-about half Its

New Wage Increases
Would Boost Prices,
Steel Official SAYS
By ]. A. O'LeoN

A four round of wage increases
would lead to another round of
higher prices, H. G. Batcheller, pres
ident of the Allegheny Ludlum Steel
Corp, told a congressional commit
tee today.
Senator Watkins, Republican, of
Utah reminded the witness that the
claims are being made in some quar-
ters that industry could stand an
other wage increase without chang
ing prices.
Il don't see how can absorb
another round Of cost increases from
any source" MIR. Batcheller replied.
He explained it would have to come
out Of $2-a-share dividend now
going to stockholders, or through
curtailment of expenditures for new
plant or research.
Mr.. Batcheller took the stand
after the Joint House-Senate Eco
nomic Subcommittee had received
the views of Moses Pendleton of
the American Woolen Co., whose
statement was presented in his alb
sence by Robert H. Montgomery, q
director and secretary of the COM
pany.
Declaring that any comparison
between 1910 and 1948 profits is un-
sound, Mr.. Pendleton told the SUBJ
committee that a corporation must
earn several times as much as In
prewar years to make a profit.
I'm this industry, which is the
most competitive imaginable I"
we are sure that competition and
the old law of supply and demand
will make short work of profits that
any one considers too high" Mr..

He said the German-made rife

to him shortly before the invasion
by Capt. Luis Somoza, a son of the

He said the invaders were under

returned last night with the state
ment, "Calderon is a traitor to

Mr.. Calderon was the candidate
OF government parties for the presi-

ran second to the opposition candi-

Congress, however, nullified the
election of Ulate on grounds of

Mr.. Figueres, a backer of Mr..
