Good News From Washington

TOP AFL-CIO LEADERS virtually elec-
Il trified the entire American L O r
Movement W hen they announced the
formation of a Permanent AFL-CIO
Unity Committee" to join the two giant
labor organizations together in a common
front to promote the welfare of our people
and our country.
I'VE will work together in the fields of
legislation and political action" the his
toric statement declared, "to insure the
the continued Strengthening of our
American democratic institutions"
The statement also declared that 1--WE
will continue to work together in the field
OF International relations, through the In
ternational Confederation Of Free Trade
Unions, as means Of strengthening
democracy throughout the world"
This was particularly good news for us
right here in Toledo. For in Toledo we
have decided long time ago - in concert
with our AFL, Railroad Brotherhoods and

the masses or people.
We might add at this stage that President
Reuther got his figures from the cost OF
World War ii. He reasons, and believe with
devastating logic, that if we are willing to
spend such incredibly huge sums for pur-
poses of destruction in global war, we should
be able to do likewise for purposes of peace
and general welfare.
IINFORTUNATELY THE PROPOSAL made
- by President Reuther received very little
notice from the so-called public press" In
most instances the suggestions was dismissed
as a "crack-pot" idea. Mr.. Reuther was told
- and in most instances with biting sarcasm
and outright redicule - that he ought to mind
his own business and give UP making such
ridiculous proposals.
What made me think of the Reuther Plan
for Global Peace is the frequently recurring
suggestion that the us. be placed on a semi
military basis "for years to come" to over
come the Korean situation and any other
similar situation that may develop in other
parts of the world.
President Truman has just suggested to
the Congress that further military apprOpria-
tiOn of approximately sos billion be made
Immediately to take care of our Korean needs
and to further increase our military pre-
paredness
Even Senator Taft of Ohio Is plugging for
appropriations of this sort. Taft, of course,
goes further. He wants to provide the neces-
sary income" to cover these additional ex-
penditures And he, Taft, suggests what
amounts to a "b a ke I tax increase" with
heavy emphasis on hiking personal income
tax levies rather than reinstituting the excess
profits tax law which operated during the
last war and which was SO quickly removed
after the shooting stopped. Actually, W tn
profits tax alone would more than make up
the required $105 billion President Truman is
asking for.
X + K
TNHE CONGRESS will undoubtedly grant
\ President Trumans request for the addi-
tionl military outlays. 1t is likely also, that
similar, and perhaps much greater expendi-
lures will be voted for the military in the
coming years. This is to be expected even if
the Korean situation is finally settled and the
shooting stops. The US. will not take any
more chances.
If on the other hand, conflict should COM
mence In other areas of the world between the
forces OF the East and the West, the ultimate
development of such a situation is wholly
unpredictable. Such development may easily
develop into full scale global war with all
Its CHASTITY consequences.
1t is interesting to note in this connection,
Tor example, that the Wall Street Journal
speaks OF the Korean situation as the open
ing of "a hundred years war" If that predic-
tion should prove to be correct the world
is, indeed, got itself into frightful situation.
X X X
PREFER TO THINK, however, that we are
not on the eve of hundred years war"

Ponie-Mongers Are Deadly

IRON ALL OVER the country we get
- news reports that say:
stores are mobbed by buyers,
the sugar shortage is growing acute,
new automobiles are getting scarce,
hard to buy,
once again money is passed under the
tables,
speculation in every field getting out
Of hand,
used car lots rushed by prospective
buyers,
prices in every field skyrocketing to
new highs,
women forming long lines to buy N.Y.
Ion hosiery,
wholesale, retail prices reach new
peaks,
cost of new homes, rents lacked up to
the skies,
price initiation threatens everyone.
And we could 60 on and on reciting
these highly damaging situations.
For they are damaging Damaging to
the working people first and foremost.
Because it is the workers, the wage earn
ers who pay to begin with every time
prices 60 up.
Unfortunately, however, most of these
panic runs are either started by our own
people, or permitted by them. Certainly,
cold-blooded spectators of all types are
only too eager to make a buck" at the
expense of the people whenever and
wherever they can. But we should have
sense enough not to encourage them. We
should know better than to play into the
hands of these blood suckers, for, after all,
we are the people who get hurt first and
to the greatest degree. We must refrain
from boarding, from starting any "runs"
on any commodity. We should keep our
heads. There is plenty for everyone in this
fortunate country of ours. There is abso-
lutely no reason why we should panic our
selves into scarcities and prices that are
way out of our reach
On the other hand, government agen-
cies should take immediate steps to stamp
out speculation and profiteering. Such
steps are necessary to protect our people
Ito protect our economic system from
what promises to be most serious and
grave dangers.
Long ago it was said that "there is a
sucker born every minute" Well, we are
the suckers unless we keep our heads in
these critical days.

High Wages. Higher Prices

u RECENT OURVEY conducted Dy the
4 n Ohio State University bureau of busi-
ness research S h ows that the average
weekly wage of Toledo workers - for all
industries amounts to $62.78 as of last
May A breakdown, according to indus
tries, indicates that the average weekly
wage in the building industry leads all
other fields with $8314 while in manu-
featuring it drops to $69.73 and to $50.63
in the so-called service trades.
We in Toledo may well be proud that
with the sole exception of Dayton, Toledo
earnings in the manufacturing industries
are the highest in Ohio. Our average earn
ings in all fields are considerably higher
than the national averages for those same
industries.
Unfortunately, however, high wages
and these are high wages especially
when we recall the prewar earnings, not
to mention the dark days of the Great
Depression when even a few bucks per
week looked good to most of us - don't
mean so much when we look at the prices
in our stores Food costs have gone up tre-
mendously. Building costs and rents-with
the exception of units still under rent con-
troll - are absolutely preposterous. What
worker, even with the "high" wages we
now enjoy, has money enough to buy
decent home for his family? Mighty few.
Even the most cursory survey will reveal
that homes in the $4,000 class it is
practically impossible to 60 below that
figure in new construction are SO small
that they are totally inadequate for even
a small family.
But even for these ZONES the monthly
payments run upwards of $50 per month.
Homes that cost more are clearly priced
right out of range as far as the worker
Is concerned.
Rents for new dwellings - these are
not controlled - begin somewhere around
$75 per month and 60 up to $l25 and
more for two bedroom apartments. Fac
tory workers simply can't afford to pay
this kind of money for their housing needs.
That is why even today, despite the enor-
nous amount of building activity, there
exists an acute housing shortage for the
average working family.
What can we say about prices in other
fields. The so-called small cars in the
lowest price bracket carry price tags up
wards of $500. The same situation pre-
walls in almost every field. Perhaps the
only field where there was noticeable
drop in the price level are in television
sets, but of course, these sets - like the
conventional type radios when they start
ed to flood the market many years ago
were way over-priced.
OF course, we are happy to see that
our people are making more dollars -
that their average earnings are high. We
are glad, indeed, proud that we lead the
state and the nation. But soon, very soon
we shall have to begin to devote great
deal of attention to prices and profits -.
% bring them down to earth where they
belong otherwise all our wage increases
will amount to nothing but an empty
mirage and we shall find ourselves -
md our country - holding the proverbial
empty bag.

MESA brothers - that the best way we
can protect the interests of our people
lies through unity of action between our
organizations This unity is best example,
fled by the formation of the United Labor
Committee-the organization that backed
Congressman Tom Burke in the last cleo
ton and sent him to the Congress; the
organization that spanked the election of
Brother Franz Berlacher of the AFL team
sters Union to the City Council; the organ
ization that will spearhead our election
drive this fall to keep Brother Burke in
the Congress, to elect Ferguson to the us.
Senate and to back all other candidates
who merit the support of Organized Labor.
1t is good to note, also, that the new
Unity Committee will concern itself with
two other vitality important problems: Q)
the problem of eliminating jurisdictional
disputes and (2) the problem of working
towards eventually organic unity between
the two great labor federations.
Al tiiAo NOllllCStlOli, LOO, We may ooJ
that our top. leaders can learn from us.
Toledo has not seen single jurisdictional
strike for over decade. We have learned
to live together with our AFL brothers.
They have learned to live together with
us. Certainly if that is possible within
the confines of metropolitan area such
as Toledo, it should be, an apparently it
will be possible on a national scale.
This is good news, indeed. Working
people, union members have been wait
ing for this news for many years - ever
since the unfortunate split that compelled
the CIO to leave the ranks of the AFL.
We hope that this is the beginning of
welding together the powerful House of
Labor We hope, too, that in addition to
the AFL and CIO unions, ways and means
shall be found to bring within this United
Labor Camp such powerful organizations
as the Railroad Brotherhoods, the United
Mine Workers and the Machinists Union.
Such United Labor Movement would
be able to influence the course of history
and the destiny of our people and our
country
We in UAW-CIO are particularly
proud that one of the chief architects of
these momentous events is our own Inter-
national President, Walter Reuther. And
we are just as proud to note that locally
the prime advocate of Labor Unity
through the United Labor Committee
is our own International Vice President,
Richard Gosser.
We are about to prove again that "In
Unity There Is Strength"
