Ability To PoY'

AFL President William Green recently told Earl Bunt
ing managing director of the National Association of Manu-
facturers that he agreed whoeheaedy with the NAM to
the desrabty of paying for federal government expend
lures 'as we go along through higher taxes"
Green then cited recommendations of the AFL execu-
tive council taxation of the recommendations being
for progressive schedule of income taxes in accordance
with ability to pay
ability pay" does not sharp tax increases for
the people of low and moderate incomes 1t not in accord
with increasing on basis of genuine equality of
rfce urged by the AFL council This is point that
labor would do well to constantly emphasize and in the
future.
If taxes on small incomes drasticaly increased,
unjust and dangerous burden is going to be placed mill
ions People with incomes in the lower brackets simply can't
pay in fact that has not been given adequate
recognition AS this paper said few weeks ago. "a great
number of people having tough time to pay present

It's Lost Lap In Great Race And
Stokes Are High

Labor Day is past most primaries over, the Amer
lean peopeand particularly the Workersare on the aSC
lap of great Soon they VIII win or lose crucla COLI
test-the November elections
The issue at stake simple, but vital that it is I'M
possible to eXaggerate its Importance. 1t is this:
Shall be confused and misled by the storm OF reac
tonary propaganda wake too late and find this country
has another Congress like the SOth (Worst) one, or
Congress worse?
Or shall we be wide awake and on the job in the short
time remaining before the polls close election day. and
win Congress good better than the present 8lst
which far from perfect, but much the workers
side than the SOth?
It's up you! Each and every of you You can do
it. The workers and other plain people can WIN any tme
thew and members of their families register and vote
If you go the polls and vote for candidate whose
cords show they your side, and they VIII WIN
Nothing stop you The other side has the but
does not have the when the workers neglect
their privileges and duties American citizens.
In places is still possible register if you have
not already done If you don't register can't vote Ii
you don't vote you will live to regret it.
In just the past few days. Congress has enacted many
of vital Importance to workers and all the people
Often handful of voteSaS few fOuTSWung the decS-

ance between progress and reaction p this Congress.
If workers had done their duty IN the 1913 cleo
tons, Senate and House progessves would be winning all
hand The workers have another chance We hope
and believe they'll make the most of it.
The good, old American way makes it so simple Just
that you family and friends register and vote
There's nothing mysterious or difficult about it.
But take chances. Have your union lodge appoint
committee to get the vote by making each member

of such simple election organization Workers do it, too
Remember we're on the last lap Make strong finish
in this race Do for your sake and for your children
the kind of Congress elected less than two months

"A Fair Deal

All legislation which placed any responsibility for price
maintenance employers has carried clause eXemptng
such price fixing from the application of antitrust law
Such exemption is necessary to the cooperation OF
industries.
In the first and second World Wars, unions cooperated
with the government in all wartime construction and pro-
ducton Since 1947 the Taftartey Act has restricted and
curbed union functions that out of union shop
mens signed by representatives of employers and workers.
Foremost of these services of unions supplying
agement with adequate numbers of competent workers.
Many time union headquarters, through its network
of local unions notice that workers needed for
essential work given location and to report back the
number enlisted In short order the required carpenters,
metal workers. machnsts moving to the location In
like manner unions modified skilled workers for produc
tion when the plants completed.
In the building and stating for atomic production the
obligation of secrecy imposed upon unions and faith
fully observed
Under the Taft-Iartey Act, many of unions could
be penazed for such valuable service to the nation The adj
minstraors of Tafartey have not yet devised to
apply union shop provision to construction workers. yet they
hand down decisions holding the union shop Illegal
If the wants expert mobilization of workers,
is only horse and good administration to give unions
the relief from Taft-Hartey that employers were
given from antitrust law.
