.C|0 Says Cash Saving
is Being Restricted 10
Top Income Group

The CIO said today that because
of high living costs only persons in
top income brackets are able to save,
and that since the end of price con-
trolls in 1916 nearly 100000 Amer
lean families have been forced to
cash their last Government bonds
to meet current bills.
/ Among families earning less than
( IS 900 a year, the rate of dis saving
/ depending more than you earn, has
been rapidly rising" the CIO publi-
cation Economic Outlook stated.
To-day, only the top families are
substantial savers" it said.
! Meanwhile, an administration Of
fetal predicted fourth-round, post
war wage increases will average be-
tween and 10 cents per hour. He
looks for prices to level off and
added the prediction that the fourth
will be the last round of Sizeable pay
hikes. In the future. he said, wage
rises will be based on productivity,
as they were before the war.
In demonstrating its point about
saving, the CLOS education and re-
search department published Sc
ries of charts, based on the Federal
Reserve Boards survey of consumer
| finances.
These are trends the CIO listed:
l. Savings reserves of families of
skilled and semiskilled workers have
dropped from $400 in 1947 to $3.50
in 1948, while families of unskilled
workers have watched average saw
ings of $50 in 1947 disappear alto
gether.
%. Twenty-seven per cent of all
families no longer have either
United States bonds or bank ac-
counts.
"3. Fifty-two per cent of all fam
lies own no United States bonds,
compared to 81 per cent who owned
none in 1916.
a. The top 10 per cent high-in-
come families received 80 per cent
of the country's money income in
1947, compared to % per cent in
l945, while the same groups share
of net savings rose from As per cent
of the total in 1945 to II per cent OF
the total in l947."

Governor Ford Issues
Statement on
u. N. Church DdY

Montana's governor, Sam @.
Ford, this week issued the fol-
lowing statement in regard TO
United Nations Church Day IN
Montana, according to a release
from the governors office:
Certain chosen leaders of the
United States of America will
meet on September 81, 1948,
with other leaders representing
the other counties Of the world
for the purpose of attending
the General Assembly of the
United Nations.
It is so essential that these
leaders work together in a spirit
of harmony and unselfishness
in order that all nations of the
world and the people who con-
stitute those nations may be
treated fairly, thus creating
world wide peace.
I have been requested by the
board of directors and members
of the Laymen's Movement to
give special attention to this
occasion and to issue an appeal
to all our citizens to join IN
prayer, each in his own faith,
asking that the wisdom of God
may be given to these world
leaders as they gather, for this
assembly.
I ioin with them in the de-
wont belief that it is essential
that more men come to believe
in the practical application OF:
the Sermon on the Mount,
which sincere prayer for peace
should prompt. 49,,

Finland is next on the list, if we

Awkwardly situated, geographi-

The will to live is before the will

grand chance for freedom-or for
a chance to grasp for it anyway.
Inexorably the world moves to

In Miami, Florida there has just
been another Illuminating episode
The CIO United Transport Work
ers, composed Of air line workers
with some 500 members, met some
ten days ago and voted overwhelm-
ingly that it didn't want anything
more to do with Charles Smoli-
koff, international representative.
Only members voted to favor
Mr.. Smolikoff, who is known as
smart cookie.
But he and another CIO official
had been found in restaurant in
company with Elizabeth Gurley
Flynn and another leading connie
and the union membership boiled
over.
Immediately, by direction of the
local, Michael j. Quill, boss of the
CIO Transport Workers, was no
titled and he flew hot foot to Mia
mi. Mike said that, regardless OF
what the local wanted, Smoli-
koff would stay. That, said Mike
in substance, was that.
The membership might yell its
head off, but Mr.. Smolikoff was
an international representative
and if Mike wanted him to stay
he surely would stay.
A special meeting of the union
was called. Mike laid down the
law and then another vote was
taken. Sure enough, this time the
vote was for Mr.. Smolikoff, with
fewer than 40 voting to have him
stay away.
What caused a local of almost
500 members to change its mind
so completely isn't clear. What is
clear is that wnen Mike Quill
cracks the whip, the law has spok-
en-.
Mike denies that he is a connie,
but he admits that he belleVeS III
a lot of things for which the COM
mics stand.
Whether this is in line with what
has been going on in Czechoslovakia
and in Finland, every reader can
decide for himself.
What is not disputed in the Mi
ami case is that Charlie SmOli-
koff and another CIO leader sat
down to confer with two connie
leaders. They haven't said what
they talked about, but it wasn't
the climate.

ble deportation. She's an old fire

WDL. Demands UN
Investigation
OF Slave Labor

New York (LPA)-Trade union
leaders, joined by educators, cler-
gymen and other prominent citi-
zens, called upon the United Ma
tions last week to investigate and
publicize the facts about slave la
Dor all over the world. In a resolu-
ton passed at a conference called
by the Workers Defense League
they said: "The very life of organ
lied labor is at stake when slavery
expands anywhere. Human liberty
and the rights of labor are indivis-
ible.
Among the signers of the WDL
resolution are: William Green, presi-
dent, AFL; James B. Carey, secre-
tary-treasurer, CIO; Hugo Ernest,
president, Hotel & Restaurant Ali
ance-AFL; John Green, president,
Shipbuilding Workers-CIO; Max
Zaritsky, president, Hatters-AFL;
Walter Reuther, president, and
Emil Hazey, secretary-treasurer,
United Auto Workers-CIO; Arnold
Zander, president, State, County
and Municipal Workers-AFL; Will
lard Townsend, president, Trans
port Service Employes-CIO; Israel
Feinberg, vice-president, Int'l La
dies Garment Workers-AFL; Sen.
Robert Wagner d., N. Y); Sen.
Wayne Morse (R., Ore.); Norman
Thomas, chairman, Socialist Party;
and A. A. Berle, chairman, Liberal
Party.
1t was estimated that the num-
Der of slave laborers in the world
today is 20,000,000. Some are in
the remote corners of Asia and
Africa. Many are in the slave labor
camps of the Soviet Union. But
some are right here in the U. S.
Virtual peonage still exists in
some mill towns in the south, Il
representative of the Textile Work
ers Union told the conference.
Francis Heisler, Chicago labor law
yer, recounted the story of a
Chicago rooming house operator
who has brought Croatian workers
into this country to work in steel
mills, and has an understanding
with employers that he is to re-
cieve a part of their wages.
While urging that UN, through
its Social & Economic Council, un-
dertake a world wide investigation
of slavery and peonage, the WDL
plans to establish a commission of
liberal spokesman to supervise its
OWE continuing attack on the prob
lem.

Editorial Workers
No More Professional
Than RepOrters-NLRB

Washington (LPA)-City editors
and such dignitaries are no more
professional than plain reporters,
the NLRB ruled last week. This
blow to the dignity of the editor
ial staff of daily papers was more
than compensated for by the fact
that the ruling protects their right
to be union members.
The company which publishes the
Jersey Observer asked the NLRB
to exclude its county editors, spec
ial editors, rewrite men and 9TH
er editorial writers from the bar
gaining unit which the American
Newspaper Guild wants establish
ed. But the board found that these
men are usually reporters who have
worked their way up, not men with
special training in the sense neces-
sary to qualify as professional
employees under the Taft-Hartley
Act.
Noting that all reporters are re-
quired to exercise judgment in
their work, the board held that the
difference in duties between re-
porters on the one hand and rewrite
men and special editors on the 9TH
er is zone of degree not kind y
Therefore, the NLRB decided that
all employees in the editorial de-
partment of the Jersey Observer
except the few in supervisory po-
sitions, may vote together as to
whether or not they will be rep
resented by the Guild.
