GRADUAL PRICE DECLINE NEEDED WASHINGTON, IX C.—The American Federation of La bor Monthly Survey declared that “a gradual and orderly decline in high prices is greatly needed now to increase baying power of workers and other consumers and bring them back into the market.” - Tile danger of inflation is gradually disappearing, the sur rey said. “The need at present,** it said, “is rather to make up the serious lag in workers* buying power so that business can reach a norma] peacetime balance without sliding off into a recession.” The present business situation was characterized as “pre carious.” Unemployment could increase or inflationary poli cies ‘'might check the normal downward adjustment of prices,” the survey said. “Much depends oh the wisdom of union leaders business executives, government officials.” it added. Suggesting that buying power of workers must increase each year in order to absorb the country’s output i*f goods, the AF1. said it could be accomplished “by continued down ward adjustment of prices” or “by raising wages, without increasing prices as productivity rises.” 3N EELK’S STUDENTS’ SHOP i STUDENTS' SPORT SHIRTS 1.95 to 5.95 Be attractively attired for your spring activities in a smart sport shirt.

AFL Leaders Back Postal Pay Boost « i » * r n i • n I _ 1UIV1V.-oaiai \ UlUCttPCS lur rcucmi uuac employes were urged here by AFL President William Green, William C. Doherty, president of the National Association of Letter Carriers, and Senator William C. Langer of North Dakota. The trio spoke at a meeting held under the auspices of the local postal unions of the American Federation of La bor here. They supported proposals of the post office employes for Fed eral legislation for a pay in crease of $650 a year, a 26-day annual vacation, and credit for longevity service. In addition, the speakers op posed the plan to boost second class postal rates on grounds that smaller newspapers could not af ford higher costs of operation. Mr. Doherty opposed the idea of tying salaries in any way with rates charged by the postal sys tem. He said the post office is essentially a public service. He contended that rate reclassifica tion had been used as a smoke screen, “a red herring dragged across the path of our salary bill, longevity and the annual sick leave equalization bill.” Mr. Green, in referring to leg islation outlined by Mr. Doherty in behalf of postal employes, said: “Now surely this is a modest and a justified program, one that should commend itself to every member of Congress who believes in good government and who be lieve that government workers earn the right to live in accord ance with American standards. If the >81st Congress persists in re peating the same follies as its immediate predecessor, the AFL will spare no effort to rid Con gress of its coalitionists, its re actionaries and its die-hard ob structionists in the 1950 elec tions.” Senator Langer said he, too, en dorsed the program of the post office employes as detailed by Mr. Doherty. The Senator expressed belief that Congress would grant the postal employes the increase sought. He added that “the Sen ate will do all possible to get the bills passed.” STETSON HAT SIGNS AGAIN (Continued From Page 1) expire on February 15, 1950, also contains a clause to the ef fect that if the present unsettled economic conditions create a sit uation in which the cost of liv ing rises from February 15, of this year, the commencement date of the agreement, to August 15, of this year, the firm and the union will confer regarding a fur ther adjustment in wages. Letter-Press Printing Letter press printing in the graphic arts means the direct application of inked type and engravings or other type material to paper. It is the simplest of all graphic methods of reproduction and at the same time.the most lasting. It was the method employed by the medieval craftsmen who first ap plied type to paper and it has persisted throughout the centuries over all innova tions, until today, when the best of crafts manship is sought in a job, there is no al ternative to letter press printing, along with high grade paper and typographic good taste.
