to) IF A SCHOOL BURNS
DOWN, MUST THE TEA
CEERS STILL BE PAID?

(A} One afternoon mlschie-
vous schoolboy sneaked into the
basement of his school to try out
some cigarettes he had found,
In his eagerness, he managed to
start a fire-and the school
building burned to the ground,
The school board cancelled
classes for the rest of the year
and stopped paying the teachers,
When one of the teachers sued
on his one-year contract, the
board said he wasn't entitled
to be paid when he wasn't work
ing. But the court made the
school board pay him anyhow
The judge said that, since the
situation wasn't covered by the
contract, the teacher could go
on collecting wages as long as
he was ready, able and willing
to teach.
Estate laws vary. For personal
guidance, see your local attor-

to) MAY "A DIVORCED
MAN ESCAPE HIS ALL
MoNY PAYMENTS BY GET
TING RID OF HIS MONEY?
(A) An actress married an
actor, but his brutal conduct
soon forced her to leave him.
She used for a divorce and ali
mony, and won a degree. When
the actor failed to keep up his
payments, she had him cited for
contempt of court. But when he
heard about this, he quickly ex-
planned his predicament to an
old friend to whom he owed
some money The friend prompt
ly ga1thshed the actors wages.
Thus, when the actor appeared
in court, he was able to say
that he Gust didn't have any
money" for alimony. But the
court was not impressed with his
story, and ordered him to pay
up somehow, The judge said
man cannot escape his alimony
payments by deliberately i'm
proverishing himself Just for
that reason.

Old Idea in Modern Form

Equality Of opportunity is an idea as ma
tive to this country as corn on the cob. we
have backed it up with schools and colleges
unequalled anywhere in the world. There is
lust one wide gap. Millions of American
adults. wage earners, cannot take advantage
Of educational opportunities because they are
tied to the routine of earning a living and
supporting families.
For many years education leaders have
recognized this fact. They have attempted
to bridge the gap by offering special courses
carefully designed to help working people
understand their jobs, their industries and
their communities. They have scheduled
evening classes, held Institutes, arranged dis
cussion groups. They teach the things work
ing people want to know: economic problems,
legislation, effecting workers, the structure
of labor unions, collective bargaining, arbi-
~tration, community problems, current events.
Response to these courses has been ire
mendous, but the resources for providing this
type of education are inadequate. Only a
very small percentage of working men and
women can attend these classes.
Recognizing these facts, congress has
been asked by labor, and by many leaders Of
industry and education, to make university
facilities IN. industrial problems available to
the workers, Just as the Agricultural Exten-
sion Act made such facilities on agricultural
problems available to the farmers. The bill
to do this has been reported out favorably
by the senate subcommittee on education.
1t is backed by many leading educators. The
bill was sponsored by Senator Thomas Of
Utah, and Senator Morse of Oregon.
1t is hoped that congress will view this
measure as a sound method of promoting bet
ter industrial relations. Sixty million Amer
leans, working citizens, want a modern ma
chine to bring to life our old American ideal,
equality Of opportunity. Wage earners are
convinced that they are entitled to equality
with the farmer.

Shan,

Action by the government in Selling con-
troll of the railroads seems to us consider
ably short of justice.
The government starts out with the prop
osition that labor in this country is free, that
a man can work or not as he chooses. But
it also holds that it must intervene in labor
disputes when the public welfare is con-
cerned, and that the government cannot toll
crate strikes against itself.
Now, there is no fault in this reasoning,
so far as we can see. But there is a very
grave fault in the fact that the Seizure" is
merely a sham.
The u. S. Army, which is supposed to be
operating the railroads has merely placed
its Chief Of Transportation in technical
charge and has detailed some 100 officers to
various railroad centers to observe what is
going on.
The result is that the trains are running
on time, and management continues business
as usual, in full control of the financial strings
and making as much money as before.
Only labor is penalized.-From The Ma
chinist, LAM.
Montana labor news., 1948-06-03

Many forward looking corporations are
giving serious thought these days to the prob
lem of retiring their employees after long Serv-
ice or upon reaching a certain age. lnsur-
ance companies also are giving the idea more
of their attention. 1t is believed that in the
next few years a great many methods will be
explored and tried out.
Social Security is all right as far as it
goes, but it is pitifully small. and there is
little hope. at least for a period of years. that
we will have a congress which will MODERN
ize the present system. Private means and
methods must be studied.
Even some of the most progressive ma
tional labor unions are adopting plans where
by faithful employees may be retired. 1t is
recognized that in many instances these peo-
pie are so deeply loyal to the labor movement
that they turn down jobs in private industry
which offer much greater financial rewards.
Furthermore. Labor does not want to lose
these employees to industry they are too valu-
able. Their experience is worth far more
than the small cost Of retirement plans which
will assure them decent incomes at some time
in the future, when they should retire.
Only a very small percentage of us ac-
quire enough of this worlds goods to make
us rich. Insurance statistics prove this fact.
Many of those who in early middle age are
successful in business or the professions, have
nothing when it comes time to give way to
Younger men and women.
Life insurance is a necessary part of our
economic life. There is no longer any argu-
ment about that. But this solves only half
of the problem. Retirement insurance of
some sort is badly needed.

Initiation and Your Wages

Publication Of recent studies made by eco
nomic researchers employed by the American
Federation of Labor has brought to light
some appalling facts. For instance: Work
ing people have lost ground in real wages in
the last two years. In 1947 the wage-earn-
ers were not as well off as they were in 1915.
Many prices, especially rents, went up from
two to five times as much as wages.
What about business? That's a differ
ent story. The Department of Commerce
and President Truman's Council of Economic
Advisors report that corporation profits
after taxes exceeded II billion dollars.

a fantastic total. That's more than three
times the total profits of 1889.
This much is plain. Wage increases have
not been the cause of price increases. They
were merely the excuse. Wage boosts that
had little effect on prices were used as ex-
cuses for tremendous price raises. Senator
Morse pointed that out the other day in con-
