GOP Congressman Stephen Day, who sent a telegram of congratula- tion to Hitler when the latter rose | to power and who had one of hls? (Day’s) books published by the| Nazi-financed publishing house, ‘ Flanders Hall. When local AFL units heard of Bill Green's unusual action, there was a storm of protest. Oscar Sturm, vice president of the Staun- ton, Ill, trades council, represent- ing all AFL unions in the vicinity, started a revolt against Green ana, secured vigorous support from Dan ! Tobin and T. E. Flynn of the team-| sters’ union, the largest AFL af- filiate. 3 In East St. Louis, Ill, the central AFL also has started a revolt against Green's endorsement of| Congressman Day. i These revolts in Illinois and Ne- vada come on top of similar situa- tions in North Dakota and Texas, where Bill Green endorsed rabid isolationist Senator Nye for re-! election and also Congressman Mar- | tin Dies. In both cases, local AFL | councils overrode their chief in Washington. It was labor oppo-| sition which had much to do with! Dies’ decision to back out of the re-election race. ’ “LITTLE STEEL” BATTLE | Biggest issue facing both labor! and the Roosevelt Administration is the Little Steel formula and the intensive campaign on the part of | the CIO steel workers to break it. For nearly a year, they have been | making representations to the War| Labor Board demanding an increase. | The steel workers’ argument is based partly on President Roose-l velt’s statement in September, 1942. | “If wages should be stabilized and | farm prices be permitted to rise at any rate like the present rate,” he said orkers will have to bear the major part of the increase.” | Steel workers point out that lhe; Bureau of Labor Statistics now | admits the cost of living has risen | 25 percent. The Mitchell Comlmt.-l tee, appointed by War Labor Board | chairman William Davis to mvesu-i gate the cost of living, goes further | and says costs have risen 30 per-; cent. Organized labor economists | figure the cost of living has leap- | ed 45 percent 1941. ! Labor is now charging industry | members of the War Labor Board | with playing politics with the Little | Steel formula. Inside fact is that all the pyblic members and labor members of the steel panel are now agreed that a wage increase for steel workers is esseptial.
