Pensions And The Government

MIR. MAURICE ]. TOBIN, us. Secre-
4'A tary of Labor delivered himself OF
some highly important points in Toledo
the other day when he addressed some
700 people in Ursuline Auditorium.
Among other things, Mr.. Tobin declared
that private pensions will not solve the
problems we are facing" Mr. Tobin con-
tended that the real solution to the prob
lem of pensions is action by the Federal
Government II am for sound collective
insurance policy to cover the old-age re-
quirements Of all workers in the United
States through expansion of the Old Age
and Survivors Insurance plan Of the Fed
eral Government" Mr.. Tobin declared.
There is a great deal of merit in what
Mr.. Tobin said. On more than one occa-
ton we, too, have said that the best posi-
bic solution TO the problem of providing
for our aged people-all Of them without
exception-must come through action on
the part OF Washington. We still feel that
way.
However, we must bear two things In
mind. First, we cannot wait forever for
Washington TO act. Heaven knows the
Congress has been sitting on this serious
problem since the adoption of our Social
Security and Federal Old Age Pension
laws back in 1896. Not only were these
people doing nothing to really provide at
least minimum measure of security for
our people by increasing the obviously
inadequate provisions of our federal laws,
but on the contrary they failed TO even
carry out the provisions Of the original

its infinite dangers, the SIS per day basic
wage rate they want is certainly not much.
AS for their pension and medical plans, If
they need additional funds to properly care
for their needy people, well, who is going to
argue about that.
Personally, / don't think that this strike
was brought about because of these monetary
demands of the coal diggers. 1 feel that the
mine operators would have conceded those
points long ago Why not? After all, il they
would grant the miners these increases, the
operators wouldn't pay for it anyway. They
would simply increase the price of coal and
more than make up for the added labor cost
Just as they have done throughout these many
years whenever the miners were able to force
wage increases out of operators.
1NHE REAL problem In the coal fields lies
in the demand of the operators to curb
the power" of the coal miners union. OF
course, they capitalize on the unpopularity of
John L., the bushy browed chieftain of the
coal diggers But actually they would take the
same position against anyone who would stand
in their way to weaken the miners union. That
is the real issue and nothing else.
For the coal operators are a special breed
Of the most contemptuous employers in all the
history of our country. Long before John l..
became the leader of the miners, the coal
operators were just as bitter against the
miners as they are now. In no other industry
do we find parallel to the fierce and bloody
struggles as in the dreary and miserable coal
fields of our country.
In 1902, long before John LIS time, when
the hard coal miners struck against their mis-
cradle conditions under the leadership of u.
M w. A. President John Mitchell, the situa-
tion was the same, maybe bit worse because
during those years Pennsylvania's dreaded
Cossacks, the notorious Coal and Iron Police
were openly terrorizing the hard coal regions.
And when the coal operators, in court
hearings and public Investigations, were con-
fronted with the stark sufferings of the coal
miners, Mr.. George Baer, big time mine opera
tor and president of the Reading Railroad
with all the contempt of real Bourbon brush

This You Ought To Know
By PETE ZVARA

ed facts aside by making this incredibly stupid
statement:
'Why they don't suffer-" he cried indg-
nantly, why they don't even speak English
EURTHERMORE, to justify the bloody vio-
Il lence directed against the striking hard
coal miners, this same operator arrogantly
told the court and the investigators that the
miners deserve nothing better since, and we
quote him from the records, God in His in
finite wisdom has put the control of business
into the hands of Christian Gentlemen"
There you have it, bluntly and with cold
blooded brutality the dictum of the divine
right of Kings"
That was the attitude of the coal operators
at the turn of the century And that is their
attitude today. What the principles of true
Christianity has to do with the bloody sup
preston of the coal diggers is something that
/, or no one else, can explain.
Just before the present injunction against
the coal miners was issued, John L. Lewis was
asked by the Presidents Fact Finding Com
mission if he, Lewis, felt that the coal dispute
could be settled fairly and quickly.
II believe we can settle fairly and quick
ly," John l.. replied.
But when this same question was directed
at the representatives of the Operators, their
reply was mo" 1t was at this juncture that
John L. stood up and, with all the irony and
eloquence that only he is capable of, shouted
at the arrogant operators
"Why the hell should they settle with
court injunction issued against the miners
waiting for them within a week"
Perhaps these are not the exact words that
Mr.. Lewis used. But I'm sure that that is the
essence Of what he said. And again he is alb
solutely right. The mine operators, knowing
full we'll that such injunction would be
issued under the notorious ft-Hartley Act
simply had to stall for time
LET the miners defy the court Injunction"
they reasoned. "And when that happens the
fight against the coal diggers will be taken
over by the Government and the mines will be
opened under the same conditions that pre-
vailed before the dispute started"
This is a classic example of how dastardly
the Taft-Hartley Act works against the work
ing people. Yes, this time 1t Is against the coal
diggers and their union, the United Mine
Workers of America. But tomorrow that same
weapon may very we'll be leveled against
workers in other industries.
Had there been no Taft Hartley Act; had
there been no possibility of court injunction
against the coal diggers, the operators would
have been compelled to settle on fair and
equitable basis long ago And we would not
today face what President Truman calls ma
tional emergency" We would have coal the
trains would be running and our people would
be working producing the wealth that makes
this country of ours so big and powerful.
In all humility bow my head before the
mighty power of our coal diggers who are
fighting so heroically for their rights.

MIR. DRUCKER'S second point - the
1Tl huge sums he mentions that would
be necessary to fund" an overall pen
sion plan-is not quite as serious as he
pretends. Naturally, $50 or 5000 billion
is a huge sum- Especially if such huge
sums are or would be necessary to pro-
vide pensions for our people. We are not
so sure that they are.
However, we are sure of another fact
very pertinent to this entire problem. We
know-so does Mr.. Drucker, If he cares
to remember-that the Great Depression
of the thirties cost our people $500 billion.
We know, and so does Mr.. Drucker,
that right now there are approximately
five million unemployed workers in the
nation. That simply means that these five
million unemployed workers - fgu-
ing their average earnings at the very
modest figure of 81 per hour-are losing,
and, therefore the nation as a whole is
losing, $40 million per day or $10.4 billion
per year
But this isn't all The nation as whole
and the five million unemployed-lose
much more than the $10.4 billion. How
much does it cost to maintain these people,
together with their families? That must
be huge sum in itself. Yet, someone has
to pay for their maintenance, or else they
live on what meager savings they might
have been able to accumulate. In any
event, the cost to the unemployed direct
and the cost to the nation as a whole is
certainly terrific.
+ + +
MIR. DRUCKER'S argument that II Is
IVA impossible to provide adequate pen
sions for our aged people =. his sugges-
ton that we keep our elder folks pro
ductively employed" even when they
reach the age of seventy or more is false
and malicious He knows that it Is hard
enough for a worker 40 to get a job let
alone workers in the higher age brackets.
And IL he doesn't know this, we refer him
TO the recent speech of Mr.. c. f. Wilson,
G. M. president, right here in Toledo. Mr..
Wilson said bluntly that some kind of pen
sions are necessary because men over As
find it difficult-if not impossible in most
cases-to keep up with the speed of our
modern production lines
We can have pensions and together
with II rounded out medical service
plan.
We're not going to get 1t, however, un-
less we are ready to fight for it with every
means at our disposal.

Gems OF Thought

There is a strength of quiet

courage as the most daring
feats of prowess.
Tuckerman
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1950-02-17

TODAY THE SITUATION is somewhat
Il different. Big industrialists like Mr..
c. E. Wilson, c. M. president, and many
more like him, are saying that they, too,
believe in enlarging our federal pension
program. They take this position now
since they themselves through their
companies don't want to assume any
pension responsibility toward their
workers.
They want the Federal Government TO
shoulder this responsibility, whic h, of
course, would mean no expense or rela-
lively very little expense on their part
Such program means maintaining their
exorbitant profits In other words, they
have adopted the slogan "let the govern
ment pay" In the long run that means
that the people will pay and not them.
4
ID EGARDLESS of that, however, we do
~ not oppose as matter of fact we
very much favor increased government
pensions and other social security bene-
fits.
At the same time, however, we feel
that in addition to that business itself
must adopt increased responsibilities to
their employees in the form of privately
instituted pension programs. We agree
with the Presidents Fact Finding Com
mission In the Steel Case that social in
surance and pensions should be considered
a part of normal business costs to take
care of temporary and permanent depre-
citation In the human machine in much
the same way as provision is made for
depreciation and insurance of plant and
machines"
In any event, the harder we fight for
privately instituted pension and social
security programs, the quicker the Con-
gress will act to bring about the desperate
ly needed relief in this vital sector of our
society.
