Our Task to Raise World Standards Washington.—Labor’s Monthly Survey of the APL says that one of the most practical tasks of the newly-formed International Con federation of Free Trade Unions is to raise living standards in oth er countries. AFL Secretary-Treasurer George Meany says the goals of the world labor body are bread, freedom and peace. The Monthly Survey shows in the accompanying chart the pur chasing power of hourly earnings in terms of a typical American Worker’s diet. Assuming that it takes an av erage American worker 16 hours work to buy food for a family of four for one week, the Russian worker in 16 hours could earn only 13 percent (or about one-eighth) of this American family’s diet. Workers in Soviet Russia are worse off than in any other coun try. But in 8 other countries, the worker’s hour of work will buy less than half as much food as in USA. ' ' The result is that workers in these other countries buy foods that are either less nourishing or more monotonous than the Ameri can worker's food. Also, after pay ing for their food they have less money left to buy other necessities. If the chart were shown in terms ( of foods workers normally buy in their own countries, some countries would be a few points higher, and Australia would be above USA be cause meat is more widely used and cheaper there; but the differ ence would not be significant. Low wage levels and low productivity account for low living standards. The ICFTU recognizes the im portance of economic development to raise living standards and pro vides tht means through union or ganization and collective bargain ing for workers to share justly in the increasing wealth resulting from improvements in farming and industry. Tassler Proposes Reading Rooms Indianapolis. — Bernard Tassler, managing editor of The American Federationist, proposes that unions establish reading rooms and hold “open house" at least once a year to spread the worthy objectives of organized labor. His proposal, continued in an ar ticle in the AFL Laundry Worker, is in line with that made by Sec retary of Labor Maurice J. Tobin before the AFL’s 69th convention at St. Paul “to sell the idea that everybody is indebted to you." Mr. Tassler pointed out that in dustry is using the “open house” device and that unions can use it advantageously to win friends. “And we can never have too many friends—whither we are campaigning for repeal of the Taft Hartley Act or at any other time," he said. "The labor reading rooms would focus attention on labor pub lications.” You Can Always Comt an £Uft&SM*v *9-** Here ia a work shoe that is built for long hard wear.
