C. w f w B E n f Die 1 PATRON! - 1 1 11 i JOURNAL ADVERTISERS Robert Reynolds (Continued From Page One) members of labor organizations was never enacted into law. “Now, let’s get to capital which in many instances is equally at fault with labor in the matter of our all out war production efforts. Some of these giant corporations with con tracts totalling hundreds of millions of dollars have made millions upon millions in profits as a result of the toil and sweat of our laborers. The millions in profits have been made right under the nose of the working men who produced them. Some of these profits have been so outrageous that one company became so consci ous stricken that its officers actually voluntarily turned back into the treas ure of the United States millions of dollars in profits it had made on one job alone. Is it any wonder that it appears to the American people that every one is trying to get all they can out of these war efforts, rather than putting all they possibly can into these efforts. Is is any wonder that the unions and the labor ing men of this country should de mand their just and proper propor tion of these billions that are being expanded, thus providing unconscion able profits and tremendous waste totalling billions as was revealed by the Truman Committee of the United States Senate. “If we are to regulate labor then we must regulate industry by elimi nating its war profits. I favor a limitation of six per cent upon all war profits directly or indirectly wherever they may be found. It would be manifestly unfair to at tempt to limit wages and overtime, and not limit and control war profits. We do not want a repetition of 1917 and 1918 which produced thousands of war millionaires overnight. Cap ital and labor must share equally of the sacrifices necessary to win this great conflict so that they may better enjoy the sweets of victory when it is won. Senator Reynolds concluded by say ing: “I’m for fair treatment to be provided both labor and capital. ' I am ready and willing to vote for any legislation which in my honest opinion will aid our war production to attain its maximum and thus insure victory. I am ready to vote for any legisla tion which will bring to an end exist ing differences between certain groups in this country. However, I AM NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR ANY BILL AIMED TO REPEAL THE FORTY hour WEEK, ELIM INATE OVERTIME, ABANDON THE CLOSED SHOP, AND OUT LAW STRIKES, UNLESS AT THE SAME TIME, AND I MEAN AT THE SAME TIME, I AM GIVEN AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY TC VOTE A BILL LIMITING THE PROFITS DERIVED FROM THE MANUFACTURE OF WAR MA TE RIALS. If labor is to sacrifice then capital likewise must make sacri fices equally as great for the dura tion. |r Eddie Cantor Volunteers to Aid Unde Sam “While I stand behind the Presi dent and the administration one hun dred per cent in the prosecution of this war, and shall strive to do my individual utmost part in the prosecu tion of that program, I shall feel free at any time to oppose these leaders on any question wnen I conscientious ly feel that such opposition is for the best interests of the people of the nation.” APPRECIATE * ^-AMERICA UfttUMIIE &o&&*ee4, PATIENTLY WAITING —for your command! ©IW» A seldom used outlet, but when you want it— That's the reason REDDY KILOWATT is truly your most patient friend.
