Furse's Fresh Flashes EDITORIALS UNLESS LABOR CLEANS HOUSE " Victor RicscI, the well-known labor columnist, recently had an article in Look entitled, "Labor Still Hasn't Cleaned House." He then made sev eral specific charges, including: "There is a cold and brutal dictatorship in many unions . Many unions are closed baronies that refuse to admit new members, charge ludicrously high initiation fees and ban applicants for racial and religious reasons . . . Skilled communists, now using key labor unions for political purposes, have not been ousted by national labor leaders." Such charges have been made before. But they are especially impressive when made by Mr. Riescl, as he is completely sympathetic to the legitimate organized labor movement and writes about nothing but labor matters. It is evident that labor's best friends are now dismayed by the policies and points of view of some of the enor mously powerful lenders. These leaders have lest almost all touch with actual labor the people who do the work of the country. They are busy creating dynasties for themselves and the inner circles which surround their courts. And, as the growing concern over communists in labor's ranks shows, some of them are moved by ideol ogical beliefs which are at the opposite pole from the American tradition.. What this all adds up to, as Mr. Riesel also ob rerves, is that the unions must clean house or the pubLic will clean it for them. The labor lead ers who are now spending much of their time indiscriminately denouncing the Tuft-Hartley law should rcaJize that this measure is innocuous in the extreme w;rh what will come if labor ex cesses continue. Union labor is not bigger than the nation. THE PAY ENVELOPE No theory has been more thoroughly explo ded than the argument that higher wage rates Saw a sign on a barber shop Sunday that read, "Closed on account of improved financial condi tions. May reopen next week." He who can take advice is sometimes superior to him who can give it. A pessimist is a man who looks at the world through morose colored glasses. A local woman says she thinks it's perfectly wonderful how little chickens get out of their shells. We think it is more wonderful how they get in 'cm. Any kind of a child will grab at a straw if you put it in the top of a bottle of pop. " Another thing this country needs this fall are weekends that last until about Wednesday. Be stubborn if you want too but the fellow who sets his head seldom hatches out anything. Prices are so high in restaurants that it is forcing some bachelors to get married. Every hubby shculd have a hobby which is what lots of women don't have time to have be cause they have a hubby. The biggest trouble with one word leading to another is that it usually ends up in a speech. need not be reflected in the selling cost of com modities. Since 1939, the wholesale prices of manufactured goods have risen 78 per cent. That corresponds almost exactly to the increase in wage costs since 1939 73 per cent. The theory might have had validity had it in cluded the stipulation that production per man hour rise along with wage costs per unit of pro duction. But that has rarely been mentioned by the labor economists with one or two disting uished exceptions. On the basis of the latest available figures, production per man hour is only about 12 per cent better than in 1939, despite that 73 per cent increase in wage costs. And production per man hour is under the 1941 level. There is only one real arbiter of prosperity and that is the amount of goods the people can buy. It is obvious that doubling the number of dollars in a pay envelope does no good if each dollar will buy only half as much. In the past, we managed to hold down prices even as we raised wages because workers and management steadily increased output per man hour. WTe are now seeing what the reversal of that docs to the wage-price structure. So far, pay increases for most workers may have offset the price increases. But if inflation ever gets the bit thoroughly between its teeth, the purchasing power of everyone will decline catastrophically. The solution is more output to offset the record wages paid in all industry today.
