WORKERS. DILEMMA
By GEORGE s. BENSON
pTssidsni q Hordins College
Secrecy. ATkonsos

WHETHER TO ask for another
raise in 1949 is question now vex-
ing our unions. Shall they go on
through the year without asking
for another raise? Some unions are
aging 1t will be bad business for
he nations workers to insist on
mother round of increases. Others,
"ecalling that raises have been OBJ
tanned three years in row, insist
that labor keep 1t up and demand
no her raise
How's the way to answer this
"a question, so that the American
Workman may have the s64 - and
much more? Because 1t makes sense
hal any sound gain made by Amer
ican workers will be a gain for the
sntire nation. I favor whatever will
ave the greatest long range benefit
For American workers.
Consider the Facts
PEOPLE WHO have their facts
straight. know that any substantial
Use in wages must be followed by
J jump in prices. This is elemen-
airy fact-and-figure economics. If
we could have another wage boost
With the rise in prices 1t would bring
End the nation would keep on
buying = that would be one thing
But there are strong indications
that won't work again.
Pipelines of supply to consumers
are beginning to fill up. The pub
lie is refusing to buy as it has for
five years. Consumers are getting
more price conscious Many manu-
facturers ere even now finding 1t
hard to market what they produce.
Some are already compelled either
to decrease hours of operation or
lay off workers. If a wage boost
now would result in more unem-
ployment and lower wages In the
long run, would labor unions de-
mand the increase2 No, they would
not.
Danger Signal
YET THAT is exactly what would
happen. if we should crowd the en-
tire economy toward a depression.
There are certain serious danger
signals. Here is a sample. On jan
uary 90 a Cleveland utility company
awarded contract for two gener-
ators to a Swiss firm. They cost
81, 140,0 900 which was nearly 100000
less than bids of three American
firms. The Cleveland company had
to accept the foreign bid, despite
protests by American companies and
by American workers

u. S. LegisIatiOnS
Interest Japanese

WASHINGTON, D. c., April g.
Prof. Shichiro Matsui, professor of
economics at Doshisha University.
one of Japan's oldest Christian UNI
versities, said today the japanese
re highly interested in American
legislation dealing with japanese.
Prof. Matsui is spending a year
in the United States studying the
trade union movement under a
Rockefeller grant.
On brief visit to the JACL Anti
Discrimination Committee office,
Prof Matsui said the people of ia
pan are hopeful this nation will
remove the stigma caused by its
Oriental exclusion laws.
The professor came to the United
States last fall to deliver a series
of lectures for the Institute of m
ternational Education.
He studied at the University of
Wisconsin from 1923 to 1927.
On his return to Japan, Prof. Ma
tsui will take up his teaching duties,
and serve as labor adviser to the
japanese government.

Now that Europe is beginning to
get into the market, it will be seen
that America has no monopoly on
manufactured goods in the world
markets. Competition there is just
beginning, and it will get tough a.
plenty Wage increases that push
up prices, besides making more
trouble just now in the home mar
ket, would make it hard for Ameri-
ca to compete in foreign markets.
Foreign production will also con-
inue 70 invade our home markets.
Since living costs are already def
initely going down, and since a
wage increase would be very bad
for the industries we work for, and
would endanger our own jobs, I'd
say let it go by. If we can keep
present wage levels, and let prices
come down. that will mean a. real
raise for everybody. That way, not
only union members, but everybody
will have their standard of living
raised full notch.

9 We Salute Our Army Today
Today. Saturday. April ., is Army Day in
Seattle.
We join the nation in saluting the men and
men who wear the proud uniform of the United

On this Army Day, should also like to
call and honor those Nsc who served in the famed
442nd Combat Infantry team which distinguished
itself on the European front during World War II,
and those Nisei who participated as intelligence
servicenlcn in the Pacific theatre of war;
It is especially gratifying, indeed, to note that

ready to guard peace in these troublesome
times.

JURORS ACTION In MALLARD CASE STIRS
LAWYERS OF NATION, DECLARED LEGAL

CHICAGO - (ANP) - The I'M
usual action in the Mallard case
in Lyons, Ca, in which two jur-
ors got on the witness stand and
spoke in favor of the defense has
stirred up the legal minds of the
nation.
General consensus, however, is
that such action is legal, although
practically never practiced outside
the south. In most states, it is
agreed, when a juror is sworn in
he is asked to declare that he
has no prejudices in the case.
II he knows something about
the case that should be brought
out in the trial usually one of
the attorneys challenges him, and
he does not become a Juror.
In Chicago legal experts were
shocked" to learn of the proceed
ings in the Mallard case. States
Attorney Boyle said:
obviously there is one law for
the white man and one law for
Negroes in Georgia. Thank God
there are no two sets of laws in
Illinois"
Emory J. Smith chairman of the
Chicago Bar association commit
tee on criminal law, branded the
action as "revolting to our sense
of justice"
New York attorneys agreed that
such action is legal under state
laws, but added that it was not
likely to happen because of the
attorneys rights to question pro-
spective jurors before they are
sworn in.
Arthur Garfield Hays, general
counsel for the American Civil
Liberties Union, commented, II
guess they didn't ask the right
questions"

led the act, said: 1.-THE same trick
