LABOR VIEWS

Commerce, the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers, Chase Ma
| tional Bank and others still see
nothing to get unduly excited
about.
The u. S. Chamber of Com
merce further believes 1854 will
be good year, citing Com
merce Department report to the
effect that manufacturing activ-
ity has picked up substantially in
recent weeks.
But getting down to a matter Of
cash in hand, the Studebaker Cor
poration in report to its stock
holders decided to omit the last
quarterly dividend. The circum-
stances given-that dealers gener-
ally are finding it difficult to op-
crate profitably and dealer NOR
tality has increased considerably
Even Secretary of Labor Mitch
ell says unemployment has leV-
elled off "and that here WILL BE
a BUSINESS upturn before the
years end. We have less than six
months left in which to see all
this take place.
No, you won't get much help
from these boys. They are much
too busy painting pretty pictures.

LOCAL 4q7, UAW-CiO

The layoffs that took place al
Standard Products last week put
81 more of our workers out OF q
Job. This lay off and rumOrs OF
more to come certainly gives us
reason to reflect upon our eco.
nomic situation.
You will hear from sources that
we should keep quiet about lay
offs and you will hear some rosy
predictions. While that may sound
noble and bright, / doubt if these
responsible workers will fall for
that line. Their families can't eat
rosy predictions. These laid off
workers will be too busy trying to
find work and meanwhile trying
to qualify for that meagre employ
ment check that helps a little
but not enough.
You can bet these workers will
be busy trying to solve their
problems while the "see no evil"
crowd sit back so smugly wrapped
in delusions of economic riches
miraculously trickling down.
Who then are the noble ones7
Tie complacent dreamers or those
working and searching for bet
ter future?
How are the millions of unem-
ployed of the nation and those
fortunate enough still to be work
ing to help solve the economic
problem? The best answer to that
is-through their PAC Dollars.

in the economic crises that grew
increasingly worse from 1929 to
1888.
The basic fact is that too many
men are without work. Unem-
ployed throughout the nation is
around 5 million people. To bring
the picture closer home-here at
Standard Products the layoff of 81
people last week brings our num-
Der working down to 200. Com
pare this with 1851, with a peak
of slightly over 1850 employed.
From that figure we began stead
lily to decrease to this present 200.
Who is suffering? Those who
made more than they could spend
in lifetime? Or those wAo are
held in a class that must live
from pay check to pay check?
Those who still are lucky
enough to have work are put on
guard to buy only bare essentials
with fear that tomorrow they,
too, may be without work. There
fore, these people cannot be ex-
pected to start the Big Business
Boom. So at this point we must
turn to our government and you
can well see the need OF your
PAC DOLLARS.
There is the picture-from
those who give only pretty
speeches to the laborers who must
live off relief because their un-
employment Qnsurance) Compen-
sation has expired. The pretty
speeches aren't going to help
when it is better legislation that
we need right now.
No one is going to do it for you.

paign actively for better legisla-
ton. Look over the 10-point legis-
