History Made As 
War Is Banished 
By New Charter

SAN FRANCISCO (FP) — The day was June 26, 1945.
History books will carry the date but millions of people 
throughout the world will remember it, without looking it up, 
as the day when representatives of 50 nations signed a charter 
to banish war from the world.

For nearly nine weeks more than a thousand men and women 
labored over the document in committee meetings and in open 
plenary sessions. Their work was obscured at times by the 
haze of sensational stories that rolled from the typewriters of 
the famous and not so famous newspapermen who came to San 
Francisco determined to squeeze every last ounce of drama and 
conflict out of the spectacle.

But while the newspapers puffed up minor incidents into ma­
jor international crises and distorted and misrepresented the 
conflicts that did arise, the day-to-day hard, unglamorous work 
of the United Nations Conference on Intl. Organization went 
ahead. And the result was a charter, modeled closely on the 
Dumbarton Oaks proposals, which outlines the framework and

Signing United Nations Charter

—Federated Pictures

Pres. Truman and members of the U.S. delegation watch while 
Edward Stettinius signs the historic United Nations charter at San 
Francisco. At the conclusion of the conference, Stettinius resigned 
as Sec. of State to become U.S. representative to the United Nations 
organization.

An Open Letter
To Pres. Truman

DEAR MR. PRESIDENT:

You are undoubtedly as troubled about the outbreak of a rash 
of strikes all over the nation as I am. I think I know the 
underlying cause of this outbreak—and it isn’t just cussedness. 
One word tells the story—fear. Fear that millions of workers 
all over the land will soon be walking the streets again looking 
for jobs and not finding them.

Workers are highly resentful of the inequitable way in which 
they have been treated. Nothing has been left undone to make 
the return of the business man to peacetime production as com­
fortable as possible. Renegotiation allowances, carry-back pro­
visions in the tax laws, and generous contract termination terms 
are the ways in which our government is solicitously taking care 
of the interests of business.

Compare this with the shabby treatment which the work­
ers have received. Your message to Congress on the need for 
extended unemployment compensation has been pigeon­
holed. As far as I can learn no legislation has been intro­
duced, much less brought to the floor.

But much more than unemployment compensation is 
wanted. Workers want assurance that something is being 
done in the way of planning for the longer pull to see that 
we don’t have 15 million unemployed again as we had in the 
thirties. But this is where we’re headed for, unless our gov­
ernment provides some vigorous leadership and direction.

The Murray Full Employment bill is good as far as it goes and

Labor Paper Is Vital, Says 
Director of P A C
By H. DEAN REED 
Director Lansing PAC

The bell has rung for the se­

cond round.

CIO-PAC is in action. PAC 
endorsed candidates in Newark 
won handsomely in the municip­
al elections on V-E day. Else­
where, state and local industrial 
union councils are prepared to 
endorse and support progressive 
candidates for local and state 
offices. Througout the country 
PAC is looking ahead to the 
1946 state and congressional 
elections.

In the campaign last summer 
the labor press was an effective 
instrument in the election of 
Roosevelt and Truman and pro­
gressive congressman.

In the state too, we elected 
many progressive representa­
tives. The CIO-PAC elected sev­
enteen of its own members to 
the State House last year, be­
sides many other progressive 
representatives. A magnificent 
record for the first year.

We have now in Lansing a

labor paper. Our paper can 
be of untold value to us in 
the coming campaigns.

I believe that politics is news, 
not merely during a campaign, 
but throughout the year. Polit­
ical issues are no less import­
ant today than in November 
1944.

Organized labor is as much in 
need of information and inter­
pretation now as then, and with 
our own paper we can do a first 
rate job in presenting the 
TRUE facts to our people.

This we will do.

Planning or Poverty 
That’s What America 
Faces After the War

By BEN DOR, LPA Columnist

England has it Beveridge Plan. America has the Murray 
Full Employment Bill. In both countries, the common man 
has his dream of a post-war world free from the fear of un­
employment.

The Chamber of Commerce doesn’t seem to mind the dreams, 
but it does have serious objections to our government trying 
to plan to make these dreams come true.

The Chamber believes that, because no democratic government 
has ever tried to plan jobs for all its workers, no goverment 
can attempt such plans and remain democratic. This analysis 
overlooks entirely the story of how the modern dictatorships 
came into being.

Murray, Thomas 
To Broadcast 
This Weekend

In each case where a modern country has gone totalitarian, 
the dictatorship followed a government which had been un­
able to provide employment for its people. The dictator 
rode into power on the promise of bringing order out of 
economic chaos and providing jobs for those who didn’t 
have them.

Three first class radio shows 
have been lined up by CIO for 
the next three weeks. “Must”

keep on top of what’s happen­
ing are:

Nash Local 13 
Presents Movies 
Each Thursday
The education committee of 
Nash Local 13 has a program of 
free movie entertainment to be 
held at the Local Union hall, 
1818 South Cedar street, every 
Thursday at 7 p.m. All workers 
in the city and their families 
and friends are urged to attend.
The program will be quite di­
versified and, as time goes on, 
we plan to have pictures on 
travel, current events, labor 
topics, general information, car­
toons, short musical features, 
and whenever possible, a fea­
ture-length film.

The first program will be 
held Thursday evening, July 5th, 
and will include the following 
films:

Naples Is A Battlefield
These Are The Men
Washington in War
See FREE MOVIES, Page 2

The record shows that the people will not tolerate widespread 
unemployment, and if democracy won’t provide the solution to 
economic stalemate, the people will turn to someone who prom­
ises that he will.

PRIVATE CAPITAL HAS ITS CHANCE

In this country, most of the people would still be willing to 
leave the job of running the economic system to private capital­
ism, rather than establishing new govermental machinery to 
do the job. So far, however, private capitalism, at least as- 
represented by the Chamber of Commerce has given the people 
no sign that it understands the problem of maintaining a stable 
economy at full employment levels and is ready to find an 
answer to the problem.

As a matter of fact, not only does it offer no plan for 
full employment; the Chamber tells us that we ought not 
even try to find one. In the summary section of this pam­
phlet we are told that we ought to be satisfied to try to pre­
vent mass unemployment instead of trying to make it pos­
sible for every worker to have a job.

Probably few Americans are going to be satisfied, when the 
war ends, with the kind of pecking away at the problem of un­
employment which the Chamber favors. Nor is such pecking 
necessary. The basic parts of the program for provding jobs 
are already clear to many of the leaders in both our own coun­
try and in England. Proposed laws to get us started on a pro­
gram are before both Congress and Parliament—and they have 
been placed there by people whose devotion to democracy has 
been at least as well demonstrated as that of the Chamber of 
Commerce of the United States.

THE KNOW-HOW OF PLANNING

In Congress, the Senate Bill was sponsored by four of the out­
standing liberal leaders of that body. The report which first 
discussed such a Bill carried the signature of the man who is 
now President of the United States. In the House of Represen­
tatives, over 50 of the most progressive members are reported 
ready to co-sponsor the Full Employment Bill when the time 
comes.

That planning for full employment is possible is shown by 
the exploratory studies which have been made by the National 
Planning Association and which have now been reported to the 
public. The approach which the Association used in its work is 
the one which the Chamber describes as being common to both 
the Beveridge and the Murray proposals.

This approach begins with an estimate of:

(a) The number of people who will be in the labor force, 

and the kinds of jobs they will probably have; and

(b) how much these people would turn out in all of the 
different kinds of goods and services if they were employ­
ed for a full year.

The point to the whole business is this: if the workers are to 
be assured a chance to keep on producing the goods which re­
sult from their labors, then someone has to see that all of these 
goods are actually sold. In the pastj even when there was strong 
reason to suspect that the demand for all goods and services was 
too small to assure their market, and workers went without jobs 
as a result, no one could or would do anything to provide the 
needed purchasing power to put these men back to work.

The Association has shown us how, by varying the expen­
ditures of business, of the governments of the States, and of 
the federal government, and by increasing the purchasing 
power of the people who actually use it, we can avoid hav­
ing large groups of workers in our economy go hungry and 
idle while others go without the things that these workers 
could produce.

SOMEBODY MUST PLAN

Certainly, if government were given a mandate to work out

“WE, THE PEOPLES ..”

Here Is the Preamble of
The United Nations Charter

SAN FRANCISCO (FP) — Here is the preamble to the 

charter of the United Nations:

We, the peoples of the United Nations,

Determined to save succeeding generations from the scourge 
of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to 
mankind, and

To reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dig­
nity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men 
and women and of nations large and small, and

To establish conditions under which justice and respect for 
the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of in­
ternational law can be maintained, and

To promote social progress and better standards of life in 

larger freedom, and for these ends

To practice tolerance and live together in peace with one an­

other as good neighbors, and

To unite our strength to maintain international peace and 

security, and

To insure, by the acceptance of principles and the institution 
of methods, that armed force shall not be used, save in the com­
mon interest, and

To employ international machinery for the promotion of the 
economic and social advancement of all peoples, have resolved 
to combine our efforts to accomplish these aims.

Accordingly, our respective governments, through representa­
tives assembled in the city of San Francisco, who have exhibited 
their full powers found to be in good and due form, have agreed 
to the present charter of the United Nations and do hereby 
establish an international organization to be known as the 
United Nations.

OPEN LETTER TO PRES. TRUMAN

(Continued From Page One)

the Administration’s support of this legislation is commendable. 
But the Murray bill is ABOUT full employment and will not itself 
provide full employment.

As I write this, your 'Mr. Vinson has issued his quarterly re­
port. Mr. Vinson says some good things. He asks for new unem­
ployment compensation legislation and for an amendment to the 
wage and hour act raising minimum wages to 50c an hour. But 
he blows hot and cold on the crucial issues of maintaining wage 
income. That is not good.

What is wanted, Mr. President, is a program for full em­
ployment, and then vigorous action on the part of your ad­
ministration to make the program meaningful. I know you 
have lots of things to worry about—what with San Fran­
cisco and all.

I am sure you realize, however, that unless the United 
State achieves full employment the San Francisco peace 
charter won’t be worth very much. At no time has the sta­
bility of the entire world depended so much on the extent to 
which our country can lead the way to useful peacetime 
jobs for all our people who want to and are able to work.

The full employment program will demand imagination and 
resourcefulness. We cannot afford to take seriously the cliches 
about private enterprise being able to assume complete responsi­
bility for full employment. It’s been tried time and again and it 
hasn’t worked—not only hasn’t worked but IT HAS BROUGHT 
SUFFERING AND DEMORALIZATION.

Please too, Mr. President, don’t let the current wave of 
strikes fool you into supporting anti-labor legislation along 
the lines of the blundering nonsense known as the Federal 
Industrial Relations Act. If anything, this will make mat­
ters worse.

What the workers want s basic stuff aimed at cutting out the 
roots of developing unemployment—not legislation to oppress 
them still further.

The workers of this country have labored hard under the most 
trying conditions—bad food, crowded living conditions and des­
perately inadequate community life.

They DESERVE SOMETHING BETTER THAN ANYTHING 

WHICH HAS YET BEEN COMMITTED.

Respectfully,
Bradford V. Carter

(Continued From Page One) 
duties of a new world organization known as the United Nations. 
Here are the main organs of the United Nations:

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY

INDUSTRIAL “PEACE”

This is the heart of the new organization. It is the only main 
body of the UN on which there is representation and an equal 
vote for every single one of the 50 members. There is unlimited 
right of discussion of matters within the province of the or­
ganization under its charter. Decisions of the assembly on im­
portant questions are made by two-thirds vote.

These questions include: recommendations with respect to 
maintenance of international peace and security, the election 
of the non-permanent members of the security council, election 
of members of the economic and social council, election of mem­
bers of the trusteeship council, admission of new members, ex­
pulsion or suspension of member, question relating to the trus­
teeship system, and budgetary questions. The assembly meets 
annually or n special session, elects its own president and adopts 
its own rules of procedure.

This is the watchdog of the organization. The U. S., Great 
Britain, Soviet Union, China and France are permanent mem­
bers of the council. Six non-permanent members of the coun­
cil will be elected for 2-year terms by the general assembly.

THE SECURITY COUNCIL

The council has the right to act immediately if an aggressor 
nation breaks the peace and has at its disposal the air, naval 
and land forces of the member nations. It also has the power to 
impose diplomatic, economic and financial sanctions against 
an aggressor.

The council can investigate a dispute, make recommendations 
for settlement and take other peaceful steps before resorting 
to use of force. Except on procedural matters, decisions of the 
council will be made by an affirmative vote of seven of its mem­
bers including the concurring votes of all five permanent mem­
bers. It will be in continuous session.

THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COUNCIL

This body goes after the roots of war. It consists of one repre­
sentative from 18 member nations elected for 3-year terms by 
the general assembly.

Its main job is to promote higher standards of living, full 
employment and conditions of economic and social progress and 
development, human rights and fundamental freedoms, and 
solve international economic, social, health and other related 
problems.

Under its province are all the various intergovenmental or­
ganizations in the economics and social fields. That includes 
the Bretton Woods fund and bank, UNRRA, the United Nations 
committee on food and agriculture. It is through this council 
that world labor and the national labor movements will have 
their contact with the United Nations.

THE INTL. COURT OF JUSTICE

It will consist of 16 independent judges, no two of whom are 
of the same nationality, elected for 9-year terms by the general 
assembly and security council. It replaces the old world court 
set up by the League of Natons and is regarded as potentially 
much more effective than its predecessor.

The charter also sets up a trusteeship system which may 
include territory now held under mandate, territories which 
may be detached from enemy states as a result of World War II 
and territories voluntarily placed under the system by states 
responsible for their administration.

Except for strategic areas, which will be under the supervision 
of the security council, trusteeship agreements will be in the 
province of the general assembly. Assisting the assembly will 
be a truteeship council, consisting of all member nations which 
administer trusteeships, any of the Big Five nations which do 
not, and as many other members elected for 3-year terms by 
the assembly as are needed to insure that the council is equally 
divided between members which administer trusteeships and 
those which do not.

Labor Bills 
Smothered 
By Congress
WASHINGTON (FP) —Con. 
gress was in the midst of its sit- 
down strike against President 
Truman’s proposal for increased 
Federal unemployment compen­
sation this week when it was in­
formed by Economic Stabiliza­
tion Director Vinson that “An 
adequate unemployment com­
pensation law is our number one 
requirement for reconversion.”

Despite its urgency, despite 
the Presidential request, and 
despite the fact that hundreds 
of thousands of workers will be 
laid off before Congress recon­
venes in the fall, little likeli­
hood is seen for any possible ac­
tion on the program before re­
cess.

Vinson, in the third report to 
Congress from the Office of 
War Mobilization and Economic 
Stabilization, also recommended 
that the Wage-Hour Act be 
amended to raise the minimum 
wage from 40 to at least 50c an 
hour “with provision for furth­
er permissive increase to a high­
er level . . .” There is similarly 
little chance that Congress will 
act on this before it recesses.

Pay Dirt May Not Pay

Are You Thinking of 
Buying a Farm?

By E. B. HILL
Farm Management Dept., MSC

We buy food almost every day. We buy clothing less often. We 
used to buy automobiles occasionally. If we are interested in 
farming we would buy a farm only about once a lifetime. Most of 
us have no experience and often but little guidance in making 
this all important step which means so much later on. Caution 
and much inquiry are desirable. 
Many folks lost their life sav­
ings during, and immediately 
after, World War I by unwise 
investments in farms.

and buy a farm? If farm prices 
fell as they have in the past fol­
lowing a war their savings 
would soon be wiped out and 
they would have to start all ov­
er again. Now is definitely not 
the time to start in the farm 
business on a “shoe-string” bas­
is. In this case it would be bet 
ter either to try to rent a farm 
or work on a farm as a hired 
man to gain more experience 
and capital before buying a 
farm.

Commercial banks, the Na­
tional Farm Loan Administra­
tion, the Farm Security Admin­
istration, insurance companies 
and some individuals loan mon­
ey on farms. At the present 
time, however, with the excep­
tion of the Farm Security Ad­
ministration, they will not loan 
in excess of about 50 percent of 
the long-time normal productive 
value of a farm. Write to the 
Michigan State College at East 
Lansing for further information 
and for Extension Bulletin 267 
“Do I Want to Farm?”

This is the concluding number 
of a series of eleven articles pre­
senting information of interest 
to city persons who are thinking 
of a part-time or full-time farm 
after the war. If you have furth­
er questions on this subject 
write to your editor, or to your 
county agricultural agent or to 
Michigan State College.

Discrimination
CHICAGO (FP)— R. R. Don- 
nelley’s Lakeside Press was ac­
cused by the Chicago Defender, 
Negro weekly, of “applying 
‘plantation’ pressure to its Ne­
gro employes in an effort to 
break the printing trades 
strike.”The Defender story con­
firmed a charge by AFL print­
ing trades unions.

The following letter from Mr. 
and Mrs. H. from Detroit is typ­
ical of many Michigan State 
College has received recently.

“We are interested in buy­
ing a farm, as having no ex­
perience in purchasing real 
estate we would like to know 
what is the safest or best way 
to finance a farm. We have in 
mind a 20 to 40 acre farm of 
a value up to $5500. We have 
$1000 in cash. We would like 
to finance the balance. Any 
information on this matter 
would be much appreciated.”

In the first place Mr. and Mrs. 
H. should be informed that the 
prices of farm land and of farm 
products have always been high­
er during and immediately fol­
lowing a war than they are in 
the post-war period. Farm land 
prices in Michigan in World War 
I reached their peak in 1920, 
two years after the war and 
then declined steadily for 13 
years to about one-half their 
1920 price. At the present time 
farm land prices in Michigan are 
25 percent above the 20 year 
1910-39 level. Present farm land 
prices are within 5 percent of 
peak reached during World War 
I.

Prices of farm products reach­
ed a peak of 218 in 1920 (1910 
14 = 100), declined to 135 in 
1921 and then with small ups 
and down reached a low of 64 in 
1932. Since that time farm pric­
es of farm products have in­
creased to 202. Farm expenses 
have increased proportionately.

No, not now

Thus would Mr. and Mrs. H. 
be wise with only $1000 to try 

Labor Fought 
For Seniority 
For Veterans
WASHINGTON (FP) — One 
of the major headaches ahead 
for both unions and manage­
ment is the question of seniority 
of returning veterans. It is a 
complex problem with many 
angles and as yet there has been 
no clear-cut, definite formula.

The U. S. Dept, of Labor, 
through its legal department, 
has held that “the returning 
veteran is entitled to restoration 
to the seniority he held before 
entering the service.”

The ruling said that the vet- 
an is to be placed on the senior­
ity list in the business establish­
ment where employed immedi­
ately before entering the mili­
tary service. It added that the 
selective service act does not 
call for displacement of senior 
workers to give the veteran em­
ployment in the event the force 
has been reduced. In other 
words, the returning veteran is 
not guaranteed a job regardless 
of seniority.

This analysis of the situ­
ation, permitting the estab­
lished seniority as set out in 
the contract to prevail, is the 
position of the AFL, the CIO 
and the Railroad Brother­
hoods. They are united in it.

On the other hand, Maj. Gen. 
Lewis B. Hershey, director of 
selective service, has interpret­
ed the law to mean that the ex- 
service man can go back to his 
old job with guaranteed protec­
tion for one year, without quali­
fications. This is the so-called 
“super-seniority.”

In considering the prob­
lem, however, it should be re­
membered that the original 
selective service bill in 1940 
did not contain a single guar­
antee to the veterans as to 
employment. The labor move­
ment, acting jointly, urged 
and insisted that protection 
of union members and work­
ers drawn into the armed for­
ces be included. The unions 
now have far more than 3 
million members in the ser­
vice and union contracts writ­
ten since the war started have 
universally included protec­
tion for veterans.

discouragement in a very short 
time after the event has taken 
place. That is why I kept the 
E-award pin.

I want to remember that we, 
the workers of Fisher Body, did 
all within our power to gain the 
desired end in this war effort, 
and should be able to wear this 
E pin with pride.

But the pin was not awarded 
to us alone, it was also award­
ed to management.

It was awarded to the hun­
dred or more supervisors who 
fooled around for months, and 
in some cases, with nothing to 
do except draw their money.

It was awarded to a Labor 
Relations Department which, in 
all the war period, has done 
nothing except to bait and ob­
struct the regular labor bargain­
ing agency within our plant.

It was awarded to a plant 
management who had to be 
bludgeoned into accepting war 
contracts in the first place, by 
a demonstration of the employ­
ees in the early stages of the 
war, and who have never com­
pletely utilized the floor space 
or general facilities of one of the 
finest and most up-to-date fac­
tory buildings in the world.

I wonder about all of these 
patriotic gestures and am frigh­
tened of the repercussions that 
may result in the event manage­
ment attempts to display the 
same type of patriotism in the 
post war period. Think it over 
and you, perhaps, will be frigh­
tened too.

But keep that pin—Lest you 

Forget!

Respectfully.

Minister Will
Aid Ohio CIO
How to make friends among 
liberal, church, school and other 
community groups is being giv­
en increasing attention these 
days by CIO unions.

Labor is coming more and 
more to realize the importance 
of making the program of the 
trade union movement under­
stood in the community so that 
all those concerned in advancing 
the welfare of the masses of the 
people may cooperate on com­
mon aims.

Evidence of this is the recent 
appointment by the Ohio CIO 
Council of the Rev. Orville C. 
Jones, ordained Congregational 
minister and teacher at the 
graduate School of Technology, 
Oberlin College, Ohio.

Rev. Jones, who will be the 
Council’s public relations repre­
sentative to interpret the CIO 
to churches, farm groups and 
other organizations, comes to 
the Ohio Council with many 
years of previous experience in 
working with such groups. For 
19 years he has served as a pas­
tor of various churches in Ohio 
and South Dakota.

Rev. Jones’ first hand intro­
duction to the labor movement 
was during the CIO’s struggle 
with the Little Steel companies 
in 1937-8, when he was pastor of 
a church in Youngstown and 
took a definite position in favor 
of unions.

The Lapaco Chemical case

3% vacation pay bonus but is 
being appealed because it stip­
ulated five years to qualify and 
it would eliminate all but one

The company and the Union

for three years.

BUY WAR BONDS

By George Nader

During the past week one of 
the most important problems 
to workers in war plants has 
arisen.

Some restuarant operators, 
who no doubt have made money 
during this war period and who 
feel a bit independent, are be­
ginning to forget their obliga­
tions to the war workers who 
are doing a great job on the pro­
duction lines and to the citizens 
of Lansing as a whole and are 
planning long vacations with no 
regard for you who are work­
ing to produce the implements 
of war.

Most of them either because 
they distrust their help or have 
more money than usual to spend 
are planning a complete shut 
down of their business, some for 
one month and others for two 
months. 

Just to show you how little 
regard they have for feeding 
the war workers, in North Lan­
sing one restaurant, the Gem 
Cafe, is already closed up. Bill’s 
Lunch is planning on a two 
months’ vacation.

When asked why two months 
inasmuch as those places feed 
war workers in Novo, Lunberg, 
and Oloffson, and as long as 
there are no other restaurants 
conveniently located to take 
care of these people, they 
claimed they had no points with 
which to operate.

I checked with OPA officials 
and found that they had never 
been contacted by these people 
for more points and also found 
that some restaurants who do a 
lot of crying about a shortage 
of points are operating on points 
turned in for a volume of busi­
ness done at the time of their 
initial report and some places 
have twice the business now 
that never have made a correc­
tion in their report to get credit 
for their increase in volume of 
business.

IN 10 YEARS
NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD

HAS HELD 24000 ELECTIONS

Around The Shops

A decade of progress in fair labor relations—that is NLRB’s 
record today on its tenth anniversary. Twenty-four thousand 
elections in which 7,250,000 were eligible to vote and over six 
million valid ballots cast. Two thousand company unions dises-' 
tablished. Back pay ordered for 30,000. Job reinstatement for 
300,000. Labor will not accept scrapping of NLRB.

Labor’s Magna Carta 
10 Years Old Today

WASHINGTON (FP) — La-: 
bor’s own magna carta, the 
Wagner Labor Relations act, 
reaches its 10th anniversary 
July 5, and its mainspring, the 
NLRB is looking back on a de­
cade of progress in which it set 
up a body of law that has met 
the tests of time and the U. S. 
Supreme Court.

Any changes in the nation’s 
basic labor law that may be pro­
posed by the congress or the na­
tional administration in the 
coming period will be judged in 
the light of the concepts, experi­
ence and decisions of the NLRB. 
The board is the only measuring 
rod at hand.

To propose the junking of 
the NLRB’s 10 years of con­
scientious work and begin a- 
new on another course would 
be unthinkable to American 
labor and to citizens who are 
willing to take an honest and 
objective approach to the 
problems it handles.

During 10 years of work on 
the complex issue of labor-man­
agement relations, complicated 
and made touchy by the split 
between the AFL and CIO, and 
more recently by the unusual 
situation caused by the war, the 
NLRB has handled over 74,000 
cases. Its decisions, in 11,000 
cases that were formally hand­
led by the national board, are 
contained in 60 volumes. These 
cover about 2,600 unfair labor 
practice cases and some 8,600 
representation cases.

But by far the larger number 
of cases, something more than 
62,000 were disposed of infor­
mally, without expensive hear­
ings, decisions and in some in­
stances, court litigation. This 
simple method of acceptance of 
the NLRB’s rulings was made in 
92 % of the unfair labor practice 
charges filed against employers, 
and 77% of the cases involved 
questions of union representa­
tion.

Topping off all this, there are 
more than 600 cases in which 
orders of the NLRB were taken 
into the Circuit Court of Ap­
peals and the U. S. Supreme 
Court. No other statue in U. S. 
history has been so intensively 
litigated in so brief a period, and 
no other governmental agency 
has had so high a degree of suc­
cess in enforcing its orders in 
the nation’s highest tribunal.

In 55 cases involving NLRB 
orders on which the Supreme 
Court acted, the board’s deci­
sion was rejected in only two,.

---------------------------------
or less than 4%, This would 
seem to demonstrate that the 
NLRB has prepared its policies 
with care and tracked the law.

Additionally, the NLRB has 
set up through the years, a few 
basic tenents, all tested through 
the courts, which are now the 
foundation Of sound relations, 
between management and un­
ions. These, briefly are:

1. Employers must be stric­
tly neutral as to the collec­
tive bargaining activities of 
their workers.

2. If an employer reaches 
an agreement with a union, 
he cannot refuse to put it 
into a signed and written con­
tract.
3. Employes who engage in 
unlawful violence remove 
themselves from the protec­
tion of the statute.
4. The integrity of the NL­
RB’s election machinery is 
fully protected to permit a 
fair test of the desires of the 
workers. Coercion and in­
timidation on the part of 
either the employer or the 
union is strictly prohibited.

Lewis Is Not
CIO President

NEW YORK (LPA) — The 
Gallup organization, recently 
took a poll to see what the pub­
lic thought of public opinion 
polls. Among other things, the 
results showed that “the public 
as a whole is appallingly lacking 
in the information which is oft­
en the prerequisite of sound 
judgments.”

According to the researchers, 
“The polls themselves show that 
a third of the population has no 
clear idea of what a tariff is; 
that a great majority of people 
cannot name a single provision 
of the Atlantic Charter; that 
two-thirds do not know that the 
U. S. has been receiving reverse 
lend-lease from Britain.”

Equally interesting was the 
discovery that “Not more than 
two-fifths of the population can 
reasonably identify either Philip 
Murray, Thurman Arnold, or 
Eric Johnston; 45% still believe 
that John L. Lewis is president 
of the CIO.” 

CLASSIFIED ADS

OPA regulations do allow for 
more points when business in­
crease is shown through meal 
slips and sales tax receipts. The 
funniest part about Bill’s Lunch 
is that when they were contact­
ed by the press of Local 872 and 
by the personnel director of that 
plant changed their alibi claim­
ing they were closing for a va­
cation and not for lack of points.

That statement on the part 
of a business man who rea­
lizes the important part his 
place is playing in this war 
effort to me is just as un-pa­
triotic as a man on a critical 
war job who walks off a job 
for a two months’ vacation.

I have contacted OPA officials 
in Lansing and will contact 
State officials today, June 29, 
1945, in an attempt to help 
those who are honestly in need 
of points to carry on their busi­
ness of feeding war workers.

I will contact the city mayor 
and have issued another state­
ment to the Lansing State Jour­
nal as no doubt most of you saw

Planning or Poverty-— 
That’s What America
Faces After the War

(Continued from Page 1)
such a budget of national production and expenditure as the 
Association has worked out, it would come out with an arrange­
ment of figures different from any of those which this pam­
phlet presents. But the important thing is that, if the Full Em­
ployment Bill is passed, some agency will have a mandate for 
providing the budget and for seeing that its provisions are car­
ried out, and many people will agree that there are no better 
agencies for doing that job for America than those designated 
in the Full Employment Bill—the President and the Congress 
of the United States.

Let it be clear that under the provisions of the Bill, the treat­
ment of business would be more than fair—certainly more gen­
erous than that provided in the English plan, as the Chamber 
of Commerce points out in its pamphlet. While the government 
would be given no new power over the expenditures of business, 
it would be required to try to stimulate business spending before 
engaging in spending itself to make the budget balance.

In other words, the Bill already provides that:

(a) private business shall be permitted to do as much of 
the job of providing full employment—the whole job, if it 
can—as it is able to do before the government intervenes;

(b) if business spends less than its share of what a full 
employment budget calls for, government shall try to stim­
ulate business to assume a greater share of the economic 
activity of the nation before coming into the picture itself;

(c) the federal government shall begin spending more 
than is normal only after it has helped both private business 
and the state governments to do more, and it is still quite 
clear that the spending side of the national budget has not 
been met, and that unemployment is inevitable without such 
spending.

U.S. PROSPERITY vs. WORLD DEPRESSION

A great deal depends on which approach to the problem of 
jobs this country adopts. If the Chamber of Commerce attitude 
prevails, not only will America suffer, but unemployment 
and depression here will drag the rest of the world down with 
us. If the Beveridge-Murray approach is tried—and the Na­
tional Planning Association has already shown how it might be 
done the world may indeed enter into a period of prosperity 
and international amity such as our soldiers and a weary world 
dream about.

CIO Education 
Leaders Meet 
In Detroit

(Continued from Page 1)

Saturday evening, June 30th, 
the Michigan CIO Council put 
on its program by and for lead­
ers in worker’s education at 
West Side Local in Detroit.

The round-up had a two-fold 
purpose: to hear reports on pro­
gress made in the various state 
locals; and to learn directly 
from discussion and resource 
leaders, details of the study in­
stitutes they will direct at Camp 
Chief Noonday August 12 to 
September 9.

The first section of the pro­
gram did not bring out the an­
nounced and anticipated discus­
sions. The second section of re­
ports, showed that the discus­
sion and resource leaders take

pride in their work, that they 
feel a deep sense of responsibil­
ity and desire to do an outstand­
ing job this summer. It has fin- 
aly been acknowledged that ed­
ucational leaders have difficulty 
in selling their programs, not 
only to the rank and file, but to 
union executives all up the line.
The CIO recreation technique 
is designed to limber up cramp­
ped nerves and muscles, and 
get the participants acquainted 
with each other. As usual, last 
Saturday’s program did a good 
job in this field. After a spot of 
food and refreshments, the re­
maining visitors drifted into 
groups to sing dozens of old and 
new songs that lend themselves 
to harmonizing. The last to 
leave probably enjoyed them­
selves the most. I am sure I did.

We Saved Britain 
From Destruction

WASHINGTON (LPA) — 
American military supplies 
and armed might saved Britain 
from defeat in 1941, Field Mar­
shall Bernard L. Montgomery 
declared in England last week.
“I admit it,” Montgomery 
said. “We were finished and 
you came along and gave us a 
helping hand. We owe you 
Americans a tremendous debt 
and I don't think we can ever 
repay it. The entrance of 
America into the war was the 
only thing that saved the Bri­
tish.”

In 1941 huge quantities of 
American war materials, much 
of it bearing the union label, 
were shipped to England as 
fast as U. S. war plants could 
turn them out and as swiftly as 
shipping was available. A ma­
jor percentage of the planes, 
tanks, guns and ships turner 
out by American labor were 
transferred to England.

Avery Blocked 
From Censoring 
A Union Paper
CHICAGO- (FP)—S. L. Av­

been temporarily set back in his 
attempt to censor the paper of 
his unionized employees.

Postal Workers 
Get $400 Raise
WASHINGTON (FP) - The 
“forgotten men” of U. S. labor, 
the 300,000 postal service em­
ployes, are finally due to get 
their first pay raise in 20 years. 
Approved by both the House and 
Senate, legislation providing for 
a pay hike of approximately 
$400 a year is almost certain to 
be signed by President Truman.
The increase exceeds by 5% 
the 15% adjustment permitted 
under the little steel formula. 
This was admitted by Sen. Mc- 
Kellar (D., Tenn.) who cham­
pioned the raise. “When we take 
into consideration, as the War 
Labor Board does,” McKellar 
told the Senate, “that the postal 
employes have had no basic in­
crease since 1925, it comes with­
in the rule laid down by the 
Labor Board and is thereby 
brought within the little steel 
formula.”

Sen. Mead pointed out that 
“The little steel formula goes 
back to January, 1941, and as­
sumes that industrial wages 
were stabilized at that time, 
while in this case we go clear 
back to 1925 before we find an 
increase granted. So in my 
judgement this is clear of any 
interference with the little steel 
formula.”

The Spotlight, newspaper of 
Local 20, United Retail Whole­
sale & Dept. Store Employees 
(CIO), may continue to attack 
Avery and Montgomery Ward & 
Co., pending appeal to the appel­
late division.

The union paper regained its 
press freedom when Superior 
Court Judge Joseph A. Graber 
stayed pending appeal to his 
own injunction restraining the 
local and 12 of its officers from 
publishing “untruths” about 
Ward’s and Avery in the paper. 
The judge also dismissed the in­
ternational union from the case.
A number of Chicago lawyers 
were in agreement with Union 
Atty. Francis Heisler that the 
order in effect assumed that 
material to be printed in the 
paper would be libelous before 
it was even printed or proved 
libelous.

In seeking the injunction, as 
part of its $1 million libel suit, 
the company claimed that the 
union, through its publication, 
had conspired to make employes 
and customers dislike and dis­
trust the mail order firm.

Leadership 
Training 
Institute
I think a word should be writ­
ten about the “Leadership 
Training Institute” which the 
Michigan CIO Council, in co-op­
eration with experienced labor 
educators has planned from Au­
gust 12 to September 9, 1945. 
Every union regardless of size, 
should send at least two dele­
gates to the institute. The cost 
is only $20.00 per week per stu­
dent and the place is Camp 
Chief Noonday, which is locat­
ed between Hastings and Mid­
dleville, Michigan.

Last year the institute was 
one of the most successful in 
the United States and drew high 
praise from national educators. 
This year it will be conducted 
along the same line but it will 
be much better and will cover a 
variety of subjects. The pro­
gram is as follows:

Union Counselling, August 12 

to 18.

Labor Journalism, August 12 

Invest in Victory — Buy War 
Bonds and Stamps.

to 18.

Educational Leadership, Au­

gust 19 to 25.

Collective Bargaining & Grie­
vance Procedure, August 26 to 
September 1.

Labor Union Administration, 

Sept. 2 to 8.

Political Action and Labor 
Laws and Legislation, Septem­
ber 2 to 8.

Everyone of the above sub­
jects will build union leadership, 
not only in the union but out­
side in other community activi­
ties. For example, let’s take 
Political Action and Labor News 
and Legislation. And I take this 
for an example because I’m bet­
ter acquainted with this sub­
ject than the others. What will 
this course teach our political 
eaders?

First, it will teach our union 
representatives how to make 
use of the laws already enacted 
for the benefit of our member­
ship and the community as a 
whole. Second, it will show how 
important it is to tie together 
the political and legislative work 
of unions and their members. 
Third, it will train for effective 
political action in the shop and 
in the neighborhood. Fourth, it 
will train our political and legis­
lative leaders how to rally their

membership on a political action 
program. Many other important 
points will be covered but the 
above are the most important.

Everyone that possibly can, 
should plan to attend at least 
one week of this institute, not 
alone because of what you learn; 
but because of the contacts you 
make with other members in the 
CIO, and because of what you 
bring back for the benefit of the 
membership in your own local 
union, and so we can build a 
better and finer union.

Political Director.
