GOOD WORK, BUT NOT ENOUGH

OK and Sc YOU gave a buck to PAC and you pushed door
bells and you made political speeches-and you read that
labor won a victory at the polls last Nov. Z.
You were positive that the TaftHarley Act would be
Kicked into the ashcan and that a large portion OF the luman
Fair Deal program would be enacted.
You started getting disguised when weeks and then a couple
of months passed without Congress enactng any domestic leg
islation in which you were vitality interested.
TIL came up in the House and you wired or telegraphed
your Congressman, asking him to vote for the Lesinski Bill.
Then came the shock By the very skin OF their teeth the
opponents of T n blocked enactment Of the Wood Bill.
Something's wrong, you said-and perhaps you began
wondering whether political action was worthwhile and whether
labor actually had won at the polls in November.
The TIL repeal move began rolling in the Senate-and
then came another shock for those who believed the Thomas
Bill might go through the upper house without Gripping
amendments.
By a two-vote margin, the Lucas amendment, which would
have removed the injunction feature from In was defeated.
Later the Taft amendments were adopted.
Labor had been kicked in the seat of the pants-and hard!
All of which makes this a good time to try to assess the
Congressional situation for what it's really worth
TOOK IL YEARS TO OBTAIN TIL
Let's begin by pointing out that the nations industrial and
business interests fought and campaigned vigorously Tor =
wears before they were able to bring about defeat OF the
Wagner Act and the enactment of theT-H.
The Taft1 Hartley Act has now been on the books two years
And it was put there because business and industry conducted a
vigorous no letup' political campaign.
Labor and other liberal forces did a good political Job last
: They halted what was regarded as a strong trend toward
clecting the President on a good platform.
But they didnt go quite far enough to assure easy enact
ment of their program by Congress.
The scales are fairly evenly balanced on Capitol fill. a
handful more prolabor votes in the House and a few more IN
The Senate would completely change the outlook tor con
siderable legislation in which the unions are Interested
NO TIM TO CRY, SO co 70 WORK
The easy thing for labor and other liberal forces to do would
he 70 moan that we We been sold down the river and make
accusation that Congress hash carried oct the mandate gwen
by the voters at the polls last November.
But that wouldn't help provide thu type OF Congress we
think we ought to have unless we re willing to combine our
complaints with a lot OF hard work.
So-reqardless of what happens on Capitol Hill during
The remainder Of this Congressional session-we have a job
cut out for us
It's political ACTON Of the same type we engaged IN last
year, but more OF 1t.
A lot more OF 1t!
Montana labor news., 1949-07-14
NO TIME TO CRY, so co TO WORK
THE AMERICANS CREED

Any fair minded observer isaware OF the tact that Tor many
years the cause of labor, particularly organized labor, has not
Leen fairly recorded in the news and editorial columns OF
the established press, speaking in general terms.
Never has the time been more opportune than the present or
he oneration of a press which will openly and fairly report
on labor and its actions in behalf of endeavoring to secure
. more equitable apportionment of the rewards OF our eco
nomic production in general and the protection OF the welIare
of American liberalism in particular.
Publication Of the news on a factual bans is a crying need.
The discharge of that responsibility We frankly admit is our
purpose.
Overtime rate OF pay arc set by unions at punitive levels,
not to provide swollen pay envelopes Tor a few workers. but
10 induce employers to spread the work among a greater
number Of employees at regular rates of pay and thus relieve
unemployment.
Public speaking is easy. It's the thinking before you speak
that's hard.

Thdt Living Cost Drop

According to late government figures, the total income
the people of the United States increased almost
the year 1948 947 During that period of time
however the working people, represented by the Labor
Unions did not make anywhere near that progress In fact
it might very well be said that the farmers and the corpora
tons got the entire increase.
Business Week, magazine published in the interests
of the corporations has this to about where the increase
in national income went by states Iowa UP $780, Ark
increased 15a Nebraska 1870, Minnesota and Mis-
souri, 1870 South Dakota 1536 North Dakota 1917 These
figures indicate very clearly that the farm bet the chief
farming states cashed in with vengeance The rest OF the
country Jagged far behind many of the industrial states
showing actual decreases in income.
Recently have been reading stories in the Seattle
press the effect that the cost of living gradually
ing down and that expect still further decreases All
this would be very heartening if could only believe it.
Last week there story in newspaper to the effect
that almost every item in the entire food list required by
working people had gone up On another there was
story stating that the cost of living had gone down. 1t is
difficult for working people to reconcile such statements
Business Week also gives some very pertinent facts
with respect to commodities In of II Of the lead
ing commodities showed that during the last month 18 Of
these advanced to 39 in price whereas declined an
average of much less than 3 What this indicates leave
the satstcan and the economists However, when they
tell that living costs crashing hope they will
don smile Perhaps in the long rum the cost of living
will down. We hope The working people haven't
seen much of decline as yet.

Strange Bedfellows

The long and bitter economy fight in the Senate spear
headed by Senator Byrd of Virginia makes for strange poll
tca combinations. Take for instance the overall apprOpa
tion bill for the armed services; economymnded Repubi
and nsurgen Democrats have reduced by $800OO0
900 and seek further cuts.
Yet on the money-savng item of letting the army buy

and Aiken lined with berenders in effort to restore
the ban margarine Fortunately the motion (Which would
have cost estimated $10000000 annually lost but
is well to remind ourselves that progressvsm and champ

the edge of state politics

statesman from Wisconsin muers of plots to se the dairy

living standards from feeding our boys oleo"
The Senator's remarks just silly they sound,
but things have to pretty pass when the ghosts of
moral and economic decay invoked behalf of the dairy
industry which least of ali organized labor wants to
hurt Yet this is the ammunition provided by the butter
lobby the fight against scientific progress and the material
advancement of the American people With sufficient repeal

II Does Not Make Sense

Most working people, and not few who do little toll
of manual character, eat potatoes The owly spud is a
standard cog in the American diet Yet thanks to the col
uson between fambet politicians and spud growers prices
going to be kept for at least another year This is
going to be accomplished by radng the IT, S. Treasury for
funds with which to buy millions of tons of potatoes and
keep them off the market create scarcity that will enable
the spud folks to cash in again
Tht people pay nearly all of the taxes thus put
up the cash for the farm belt politicians to to keep
living costs too high We twice in taxes and again
in fantastic prices
They call this system price support and farm relief
But there better accurate descriptive words which
could be used such as highway robbery"
It's interesting to note that the politicians who promote
these gimme programs chiefly for the benefit of the agr
cutusts and big business also hate Unions and vote for
laws to strangle Organized Labor.
In many instances they also fight housing programs
which would provide homes at prices working people
afford to pay though the gmme philosophy does not APP
ply to any of the housing proposals.
The government going to spend hundreds of millions
of dollars to keep potatoes expensive then destroy the vast
tonnage of food hungry folks may not eat it, not the
hungry people of Europe
The few millions that will go into housing programs for
working people will all be paid back, with interest.
