ZEMAN'S We are now taking orders . for New Radios 116 N. 9rfi Phone 7522 Across From Montgomery Ward on North 8th reiD.ye.ii m LWAVH MuLt .A IPMdPIPmAJL TQ TME NATEQN --to its lawmakers, its economists, its farmers, its industrial workers and its business men Every thinking American must realize that. this country now faces a situation without parallel either during the war or before it. Before the war we were busy at production of all the things required by a peacetime economy. .We maintained a high standard of living, supported the government with our taxes, exported to foreign countries and en joyed imports from them. Then came the war. Production was stepped up to unprecedented levels and devoted almost entirely to military needs. Production of civilian goods was reduced to the barest necessities. Now the war is over. We turn again to supplying civilian needs. But today these needs; unfilled for four long years, are at the highest peak of all time. -Our gov ernment's tax requirements are no longer the stagger ing needs of war but they are still the enormous needs of war's aftermath many times greater than before the war. There is also immediate, urgent need for all kinds of goods to aid the recovery and rehabilitation of a war , torn world. The simple fact is that we have a big job ahead of us. We can't get it done on the prewar basis of work. We must produce far more now than ever before! Recognizing these problems we have made the fol lowing proposal: October 27, 1945 International Union UAW-CIO, 411 West Milwaukee Avenue, Detroit 2, Michigan. Gentlemen: General Motors proposes that the UAW-CIO join with it in petitioning the congress to change the wages and hours act to make the standard work week 45 hours in place of 40 hours during the postwar reconstruction period. This proposal is made recognizing that the country hos a big load to carry in cleaning up the aftermath of the war and that under these conditions we can oil have more only if we all produce more. The reason for this proposal to change the law is that the present law putting the penalty of overtime of 50 on the extra hours over 40 dis courages employers and business generally from planning such extra hours of production thereby tending to reduce the country to a 40-hour week when the country and the world are demanding more production at' lower prices. e With this change in the work week we propose that all wage rates be Increased approximately 6 so that the men working 45 hours at the new straight time rate will make as much money as they do now for 45 hours of work. This proposal would increase the earnings of those working less than 45 hours, and would also Increase the extra compensation for ony Hours worked over 45 since such hours would be paid for at time-and-a-half based on the new rates. Your first impression of this proposal probably will be that it is a reacr tionary Idea and not in the Interests of labor. It is not reactionary any more than working longer hours In the war emergency was. We are sure that It Is in the best interests of all the people of our country and par ticularly In the best interests of all workmen. If the 40-hour week was sound prewar and the 48-hour week during the war, the 45-hour week is sound for the Immediate period following such a world catastrophe as we have been through. All Americans are expecting an even higher standard of living postwar than we had prewar. This can be accomplished at this time only by producing more as we must now carry the huge additional tax burden and other expenses growing out of the war. The simple fact Is that we have a big job ahead of us. We cannot get it done on the prewar basis of work. We must produce far more than we did in the past. The workmen of other, nations will work far more than 45 hours. In many cases they will hove only a bare subsistence living while they are doing it. Because of the lack of good tools and machinery like those sup plied by the employers of .our country. This proposal has much to recommend it. ;1. It avoids a substantial reduction in weekly earnings. 2. It prevents inflation and preserves the purchasing power of Wor Bonds, insurance, social security and other savings. 3. It does not upset the balance between agricultural workers, salaried workers and industrial workers. . 4. It will produce more goods and services and the people of our country will have more. . . , . ' 5. It will create more good jobs and the employment of more people. Just as many men and women will be employed . , in our plants on o 45-hour week as on a 40-hour week. And it will allow the use of our plants for the extra five hours when they would otherwise be idle. - 6. It will stimulate business activity and create more jobs - and result in the employment of many more people in all re . . lated businesses. . ' 7. If our plants could be scheduled to work on this basis we would produce nine cars where we would otherwise have produced only eight. It will mean that one man out of nine will have a car who would otherwise go without. We believe that a 45-houj week is necessary and desirable dur ing the period of postwar reconstruction for the following reasons: 1. During this period our country will be shipping .food, materials and machinery to other countries all over the world to help them rehabilitate themselves and avoid starvation. 2. We still have the extra expense of bringing our fighting men back home and fitting them into civilian work. 3. We still have high taxes which necessarily are a charge against industry and all producers. 4. To develop and apply technological improvements and to reorganize industry takes time years not months. It is hoped that at the end of this postwar reconstruction period: 1. Our relation with other countries will be on the basis of a two-way street where we shall get back goods and services for those we supply.' 2. The fighting men will be back at peacetime work and the aftermath of the war will be over. 3. Government expense and the number of government employees will be reduced and not be such an excessive burden on all producers. " 4. Technological improvements the better ways of doing all the things, that are necessary to deliver products to cus tomers will have become effective. We can then have a 40-hour week with more leisure time and more goods and services and can continue to improve the standard of living of all Americans. Your very truly, C. E. WILSON, President. WHY WE BELIEVE EVERYONE SHOULD FAVOR THIS PROPOSAL: It would help America to produce more and have more It would provide for higher wages without the certain necessity of higher prices It would help to strengthen buying power, sustain the tax requirements and maintain the value of War Bonds, savings and insurance It would be good for the working man, good for the employer", good for the farmergood for the professional man, good for the housewife Good for America!
