Ray Madden (D.) of Gary, Ind., points out prices must be controlled before wages can be stabilized, “Ninety per cent of the wage problem today is brought about because of high living costs and ineffective price control,” Madden told the House June 27. "It is j unrealistic to talk about trying 1 to stabilize wages at a time when our over-all economy is not sta- j bilized and prices and profits co?i- j tinue to soar ... “The vicious circle has been ] expanding since 1944. In 19441 industry and business considered their annual profit* satisfactory, but during the last seven years profits have increased 97 per cent and wages increased, on the aver age, only 26 per cent.” HOUSE PATS PROFITEERS ON THE BACK The profiteer got a pat on the back when the House toted June 29 to prohibit price rollbacks. j “You may recall that last De cember the President asked the businessmen of this country to voluntarily restrain from price increases so as to make manda tory controls unnecessary,” Rep. Clinton McKinnon (D.t Calif.) said in the House June 29. “You know what happened . . . A lot of good American business men did hold the line . . . Unfor tunately ... a number of Amer ican businessmen . . . took ad vantage of the situation. ... “Now ... we say in effect that the irresponsible and unpatriotic businessmen are to be rewarded. . . . We . . . pin about a billion dollar prise on the guilty and un deserving. We are legalising un necessary—in many cases—price increases. ...” STEELWORKERS WIN Jacksonville, Fla.—The em ployes of the Bushnell Steel Com pany voted to authorise the In ternational Association of Bridge, Structural and Ornamental Iron Workers', Local No. 616, to repre sent them in collective bargaining unit election.

The migration of tobacco carers to Canada, chiefly the Province of Ontario, has started as usual each season from North Carolina. Us ually around 1.200 experienced curers from this State go to Can ada to handle the curing for Canadian growers. Many of these Canadian growers, incidentally, are North Carolina natives who migrated to Canada in years past and started tobacco growing in their adopted areas. Compiling Job Descriptions Job descriptions of four of the ten different job classifications re quested by National office of USES have been completed, one each by the four occupational an alysts in the State office.

Workers For Tobacco Harvest Numbers of local offices are busy supplying workers for to bacco growers in their areas as the tobacco curing process ap proaches a peak in the Border and Eastern growing areas. Most of these green tobacco workers are secured by personal recruiting activities, including opening local offices at 5:30 in the mornings to direct workers to the growers. Newspaper articles and radio an nouncements supplement the re cruiting efforts.

BENTON THINK CONTROL BILL VIRTUALLY NO GOOD Two Democratic Senators think the Senate's price control bill is about like having no coatTol law. Herbert Lehman (N. Y.) and Bill Benton (Conn.) considered the measure passed by th Senate on June 29 so bad that they didn’t want to vote for it. When the Senate forced Leh man and Benton to take a stand on the bill, they announced they would “reluctantly” vote for the measure. “I cannot see how we as Mem bers of the Senate can in good conscience wash our hands of the obligation to provide for the gen eral welfare in the matter of controls by the passage of this bill which does not truly control inflation but merely legalises it,” said Lehman. Benton considers the bill "so weak that under it those in au thority lack the power to de the great job of stabilising the econ omy which we must seek to do in this time of crisis.” I FEE CENT BOOST IN COST OF LIVING ADDS $2 BILLION TO PRICES Inflation is a billion-dollar busi ness — with billion-dollar profits for the profiteers, and billion-dol lar losses for the American peo ple. “Every 1 per cent increase in the cost of living adds $2 billion to the consumers’ bill for goods and services,” Economic Stabili ser Eric Johnston wrote to a Wheeling, W. Va., businessman June 19. The businessman, President W. F. Kennedy, had criticised John ston for trying to control infla tion, “Already inflation has cost the American people some $21 billion since January a year ago,” John ston continued. “That $21 billion is an appall ing sum, especially when we con sider that the consumer got no benefits. Instead he got it in I the neck. “It’s more than all farm fam ilies received in income in the peak year of 1947. It’s more than all of us spent for housing or much as all profits after taxes clothing last year. It’s almost as from all businesses in I960.” He cou/efrit dffbnjto //Ve A MW lira? BnkwraHntd?
