AFL To Go Forward

A study of 1908 wage negotiations from January
through November 1919 shows that the American Fedora
tion of Labor chiefly responsible for increases won
last year These negotiations covered at least 63OOO0o
workers including those in AFL and other unions Wage
increases 1882 negotiations of which 1884 or 6
percent conducted by AFL unions That is our afi
lated twice many increases as all unat
fated together AFL unions took part in 1861 of
these negotiations increases in 81 percent other
negotiations.
This is record for 1919; all know, these wage
gains without forcing general price rises, for v
ING costs declined during 1949 We intend 6 forward in
1850 to win further gains cooperating with employers
cut costs wherever they willing to make this possible

Challenge Of 1850
say Amen.

Can provide enough work for all those who failed to
find work in 1919 plus million newcomers? is the cha
enge of 1850 Secretary of Labor Maurice j. obn pointed
out in a New Years message
Another way to put the challenge, Tobn said is Can
sell all that able to produce? and continued in
words that meet with strong labor approval:
'The problem is of increasing the ability of great
numbers of people to buy the output of farms and fac
tories.
"In the American tradition, this has always been done
in two waysby cutting prices and by increasing wages.
We know from long experience that these two methods
entirely compatible; have been using both for
tonsand the result has been the highest standard of v
ing earth
I'VE must also take into account those who have been
overlooked and bypassed Programs such expanded

and special aid to lowncome groups necessary to

people will be expanded and improved during the coming
year. thereby contributing to prosperous productive and

The 64-Yeur Question

Pay GO
Levy Sought

guaranteed under the Ohio statutes
which clearly define permanent
municipal improvements. None OF it
can go to operating or mainten-
ance which is already being oper-
ated on the pay-as-you-go basis.
Under the present evaluation one
mill would return $65,000 a year.
This would go into the proposed
capital improvement fund. 1t would
continue to grow and when defi-
mite large expenditure looms, the
money would be on hand to meet it.
This does not mean that the city
might never again be called upon
to issue improvement bones, but it
definitely minimizes that posi-
bility.
AS of December 31st the city,
bonded debt will be $350,000, truly
a small amount for so well oper-
ated a community. The limit for
cities in this classification is three
million dollars. But, as one city
official put it, "Who wants three
million dollar debt? No one. It's
better to save little for that COM
ing rainy day. Good business does
it. Why not cities ?"
The answer is up to the elector
next November 7th.
A levy of this kind must be added
to the city as an amendment to the
charter. 1t should not be confused
with the proposal to adopt county
charter. There is absolutely no
connection between the two, ex-
plains Mr.. Apthorp. This levy for
a capital improvement tax is an
amendment to the East Cleveland
manager form of government
charter only. Read your ballot care
fully. Vote eyes" for the one mill

some of the infantry which be-
friended him. Looking ahead to his
examination for his first citizen
ship papers, the newcomer studies
twice a week at John Hay High
School, and every spare minute

study of the American language
and customs.
His one hope is that he will be-
come an American citizen of whom
his benefactors will be proud.
