SAWING OFF THE LIMB
In one of the most remarkable statements ever made by
supposedly responsibly people the Railway Laoor Executives
Association has passed a resolution calling upon the govern
ment to “begin preparations for the transfer of railroad owner
ship from private interests to the United States of America.
Inasmuch as the railroads represent an investment of
something hke thirty billion dollars, that is a large order. Too,
it is a little difficult to understand in the light of our exper
ience in World War I when the government took over the
industry, lost billions, and standards of service declined sharp
ly. But, even disregarding these points, one wonders just
what the railway labor leaders have m mind.
Perhaps they feel they could blackjack the government
out of more wage increases. Maybe, they could, for the time
being. But the whole history of socialism and communism—
which are the economic systems based on government o\\ ner
ship of enterprise—is a history of the enslavement of the
working man. Xo one can strike against the government. Xo
one can go to work for someone else if government has a
monopoly. Xo one con protest against decision of government
and be sure of recourse and fair treatment. The commands of
government, like the commands of the head of a military force,
are necessarily final.
In the words of the New York Times, “These leaders . . .
have not merely crawled out on a very long limb; they now
seem intent on extricating themselves from their predicament
by the dubious technique of sawing off the limb.” Socialization
of industry would be the surest way to destroy labor’s gains
—and to destroy freedom for all of us.
PATTERN FOR LABOR PEACE
Settlement of the General Motors labor dispute on the
basis of a sliding scale cost-of-loving wage adjustment may
prove to be the most significant development in industrial
labor relations in recent years.
While similar arrangements have been successfully in ef
fect for some time in a few small businesses, the GM agree
ment. affecting 225,000 employees, is the first cost-of-living
contract to be worked out by a major industrial firm. It may
set a pattern for settlement of srikes presenly curtailing pro
duction in otther large-scale industries. If successful, it should
take the sting out of the traditionally bitter labor contraversies
that have plagued the Nation with increasing force.
One fault economists have found in cost-of-living con
tracts is their eventual effect of freezing living standards. The
GM pact, however, appears to have overcome that objection
by providing for annual supplement adjustments based on
improved industrial efficiency.
It remains to be seen whether the new agreement will
prove successful in all respects. But if industry and labor
prove they can develop a workable formula for lasting indus
trial co-operation without the necessity for Government inter
vention, a vastly important forward stride will have been aken
for the Nation’s benefit. -

GETTING THE STEEL OUT
Walter S. Tower, president of the Americap Iron and
Steel Institute, recently replied to a number of the wild ac
cusations that have been flung at the steel industry.
From some of the charges, uninformed people might think
steel production was at an extreme low. Yet, in 1947, tonnage
shipped was nearly 20 million tons above the best previous
non-war year, and in, the first quarter of 1948 it approached
the war peak.
Steel is supposed to have made incredible profits. But,
while 1947 shipments were 40 per cent over 1929, its profits
were actually less than in the earlier year.
The United States has about one-fifteenth of the world’s
population. Last year we had more steel than as made in
all the rest of the world.
Steel has been accused of callously running up the price.
Hut if anyone takes the trouble to read th^e dry statistical
tables he will find that increases in steel prices have lagged
behind increases for most other commodities. If stwl were
sold by the industry on a straight supply-demand basis prices
would hit the roof, as the gray market, which the industry
has been fighting, proves.
Fjnally, very large amounts of new steel capacity are
being installed as rapidly as materials can be secured. The
shortage of scrap, over which the industry has no control, is
a serious limiting factor on current output.’ Steel will produce
to the limit of its ability—and it will sell what it produces at
the lowest practical price.

vice president of the National
Broadcasting company, told the
Senate expenditures committee in

only “a check of the files” was
made on two men responsible for
the much - criticized “Voice of

COMMITTEE FOR
DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS
Len Goldsmith, Executive
Secretary of the; Committee
for Democratic Rights, today
called upon Leon Henderson,
Chairman of the Americans fo
Democratic Action, and Jack
Kroll, Chairman of the CIO
Political Action Committee to
appear before the Credentials
Committee of the Democratic
National Convention to oppose
the seating in the Convention
of all delegates elected by poll
votes and members and sup
porters of the Ku Klux Klan.
In the event that the Cre
dentials Committee refuses to
heed this protest, the Commit
te For Democratic Rights call
ed upon Henderson and Kroll
to carry the credentials fight
to the floor on the grounds
that the ‘‘‘Democratic Par'ty
cannot rightfully claim sup
port of any decent blinking
American as long as it per
mits, racists advocates of
white supremacy and inciters
of lynching to participate in
its deliberations.”
The text of the telegrams to
Kroll and Henderson are as
follows:
“As delegate to Democratic
National Convention, we call
upon you to appear before
Credentials Committee and
oppose seating of any delegate
elected by a poll tax vote, on
grounds that such election is
unconstitutional. Abstract
statements defndiug Negro
rights to vote and participate
in the affairs of our nation are
meaningless unless accompan
ied by action. We urge that if
Credentials Committee fails
to heed such protest that floor
fight be made against seating
of these delegates as well as
any delegate who is a member
or supporter of the Ku Klux
Klan. Democratic Party can
not rightfully claim suport of
- any decenpt thinking Ameri
can as long as it ermits racists,
advocates of white supremacy
and inciters of lynching to pa ■
ticlpate in its deliberations.
We call upon you and other
delegates associated with you
to stop talking and start fight
ing now.”
