And it is a basic reason why tn> CIO t°day is a great force for vie tory, why the five million men, and women of the CIO are able to give so much to their nation an -t to our allies in the war for free dom from fascist slavery. The men and women of the CIO are at work today in the arsenal of democracy, turning out tanks and guns, planes and ships the Un ited Nations need to crush Hitler ism. They are the soldiers of production, the people who stand beside the machines that are dig ging Hitler’s grave. The CIO is organized in the bas ic industries of America, in coa and steel, in machine building, in electrical industry, in oil, in alum inum, ;n copper and other vital metals, in textf,es, in packing. }r the maritime trades, in the thous and and one industries working io arm our nation ;nd the nations with us.

The United Mine Workers or America has union shop contraers with nearly every coal mine in tin; country. Negro workers have a! ways stood side by side with white workers in this union. Only rec ently the Mine Workers struck a great blow for the Negro peop'e when they abolished the different ial pay scale between North and South. The Steel Workers Organizing Committee has contracts covering more than 00,000 workers. Negro workers in the SWOC have equal voice with all others. The United Automobile Workers of America has contracts covering over 700, 000 workers. Negro members have equal voice in the UAW-CIO with all members. In all these unions, Negro members can and do take official positions, are el ected to places of leadership by their fellow members. All of the unions of the CIO have won benefits for their mem bers. The CIO has raised and maintained the standard of living for many millions beyond its own membership. Between 1940 and 1941, the CIO added one and a quarter billion dollars to the annual payroll of American workers. This has mesant a better chance for the kids, an easier job for the wif who has to stretch the paycheck to meet the cost of living. And just.as important it means better health and higher morale for Am erican workers—health and mor ale we desperately need to defeu* Hitler and Japan.
