demand and (2) Monopoly. When supply is low
and demand is high market price will be high
Where however, supply is plentiful but mon
opoly exists large supply accompanies high
market price.
Let's be realistic. Initiation has followed
ever war in which we have participated: The
american Revolutionary War, the War of 1912;
the Civil War and World War !. Aggregate
demand drought about by the diversion from
the manufacture of consumer goods to war
materials was already excessive at the exist
ing price level and prices were bound to rise

or other segments of the population" states
w. A. Morton i'm the current issue of Ameri-
can Economic Review. He further points out,
that, Salaries, wages and other labor income
raised SIT billion between 1916 and 194S;
properties and rent income increased S12 bill
lion, part of the SIT billion additional payroll
would have been diverted to other groups and
prices would have still risen from the impetus
provided by non labor expenditures"
The times to the contrary notwithstanding,
experience shows that demands for wage in
creases have always followed price increases.
The wage-prce spiral has been with us so
long that we have almost forgotten how it all
fetarted. 1t is relatively easy therefore, for the
fess to convince us that it is we, the working
people, who started the ball rolling with our
constant demands for more pay. The truth is
that wages always lag prices. Labor leaders
have been accused of never admitting that they
knew what was going on because more dol
lars in the pay envelope was what they were
after simply because it endeared them to their
union members" What trite Labor leaders
like any other officers in democratic society
and unlike editors of newspapers, are the
elected representatives of the people. The term
"Labor Leader" is, in sense misnomer

nothing of it it is a chore that

ahead and do it. That is the way
it should be at the shop, we

1t isn't one of them that it's here

believe some people just don't
care what happens as long as
they are not affected, what an
attitude to take, maybe not at
present oh, what's the use, the
future will take care of it self
Very true but didn't you in your
own mind think that little

statement is pensions, now is the
time to think of what will hap

like you in their future years
So those phamphlets that are
passed out by your steward are
not just some paper to scribble

1t seems the days of slavery

to put out more production witt

no more, but what they wan

these fellows are always watch

don't stay to long in one spor

We also have foreman whc
thinks he is king, maybe he hal

Lehman, in explaining to the
Senate why he thought that
even the House bill, on which
the Senate committee will work,
is not liberal enough, pointed to
the Overwhelming support" for
a better bill. Both the AFL and
CIO, he told the Senate, have
urged more liberal old-age pen

AS an example of what the
bill would do, Lehman said that
an average industrial worker
who had earned $500 month

20 years would receive retire

of 500 as provided in HR 5000.

Tells Congress He Wants
Experiments on Hydro
qen Bombs Also Pushed

WASHINGTON. July 7 = R :
President Truman today asked Con-
gress for s26O,OOOO0O to speed de-
velopment of atomic bombs and
push experiments on the hydro
gen bomb.
Mr.. Truman said the money would
be used to enable the Atomic Energy
Commission Ito build additional
and more efficient plants" to carry
out his directive of Jan. 81 ordering
work on the H-bomb.
The President said the funda-
mental objective is to use atomic
energy for peace, but he added:
Until this objective is achieved,
however. we must strengthen our
own defenses by providing the
necessary atomic energy capacity
He pointed out in statement
that his January directive called on
the Acc "to continue its work on
all forms of atomic weapons, includ-
ing the hydrogen or fusion bomb"
Mr.. Truman did not mention
Summer T. Pike, who has been
acting chairman of the Acc by
name, but he had these words to say
in connection with his confidence
in the commission:
I'm this new undertaking (speed-
ing the progress of the atomic
energy program) the Atomic Energy
Commission has my complete conf
dence. based upon the vigorous
leadership it has given to the atomic
energy program in the past"
Pixies nomination for a new term
has been bottled up in the Senate
where a vote on confirmation is set
for Monday. The President empha-
sized yesterday his confidence in
Pike and said he is backing him 100
percent.
Pixies term expired last Friday.
Concerning the new money asked,
Mr.. Truman said the plants to be
build would be "of advanced design
and their operation will provide
new knowledge that will speed the
progress of the atomic energy pro-
gram"
THE expansion in the scope OF
our atomic energy program gives
added emphasis to the fact that
atomic energy has great potentiali-
ties both for destruction and for the
benefit of mankind" Mr.. Truman
said.

DRAFT Will
BE USED BY
GOVT. NOW
Some 100000 Men 10 Be
Added 10 Armed Serv-
ices-0rder Issued

WASHINGTON, July 7 = tR -
The government today ordered use
of the draft to add some 100000
men to the armed services.
Voluntary enlistments also were
invited. Presumably the number of
volunteers will determine how many
will be drafted to bring the fighting
forces to full strength to back up
American troops fighting in Com
munist-invaded South Korea.
No men have been drafted in the
last Is months.
The Selective Service System,
however, has continued to register
and classify youths.
On June % some 7,638,000 men
between the ages of 10 and 26 were
classified. Of that number 100000
were in 1-A-meaning fit for mil
itary service.
Announcement of the decision to
invoke the draft was made at the
Pentagon. President Truman SIM
ultaneously summoned congressional
military leaders to the White House
to tell them of the decision.
AS the use of the draft was or
dered, defense officials announced
that overall ceilings on branches
of the armed services had been
lifted. This means that the Army,
Navy and Air Force can go beyond
their present budget ceilings on
military personnel
Economy restrictions up to now
have prevented expansion of the
fighting forces.
The latest total strength figure
given for all the services was
about 100000. The authorized
strength is zoos, 1892.
The draft act, which last week
was renewed for one year, calls
for registration of men between 10
and 26. Only those from 10 to 26
can be drafted.
