Labor Day Statement Issued by
NCWC Social Action Department
(N. C. W. C. News Service)
WASHINGTON. — Congratulat-
ulating American labor for its ad
herence to spiritual motivations
and inviting individuals and eco
nomic organizations to join in
“asking the assistance of (lie Holy
Spirit for the solution of critical
economic and social problems.”
the Social Action Department of
the National Catholic Welfare
Conference, in its 1947 Labor Day
Statement, pleads for the estab
lishment of a system of Industry
Councils through which labor
and management, with the as
sistance of the government, may
jointly and democratically work
out all of the major problems of
economic life.
Since its Labor Day statement
of last year, the Department re
calls, in which organized labor
was encouraged “to extend its
activities beyond the traditional
limits of collective bargaining
over wages, hours and working
conditions into the field of labor-
management cooperation and
eventually into an organized sys
tem of industry councils,” little or j
nothing has been done to set up j
such a system of industry eoun- 1
eils.

sumed to be partners,” the state
ment points out. “but the system
needs to be modified so that the
declared partnership can be
fully realized in terms of greater
mutual benefit.”
Congratulating labor on its re
cent pronouncement emphasizing
the need for increased productiv
ity per man-hour of work, the
N. C. W. C. Social Action Depart
ment states that what is needed
“is a socially just and reason
ably automatic system to distrib
ute the increased productivity of
industry as it develops.”
Such a modified wage system
on a nation-wide scale presupposes
the existence of an organized
council of industry, business and
agriculture,” the statement notes.
“Each should function within its
own sphere, but all should coop
erate with one another on the
local, regional arid national levels
with government supervision to
insure equity for all.”
The statement quotes the re
cent address of President Truman,
following the suggestions of the
Council of Economic Advisors,
asking full recognition of re
sponsibility on the part of indi
viduals and groups in making the
basic readjustments necessary “to
complete the transition to a per
manently stable and maximum-
level peacetime economy.”
These ^responsibilities lo which
the President referred, the state
ment notes, cannot be carr ied out
by individuals or groups acting
alone. The N. C. W. C. Social Ac
tion Department recalls therefore
as follows the separate Catholic
introduction to the inter-faith
economic statement of 194(1, “Pat
tern for Economic Justice.”
“The government can make its
greatest contribution to the gen
eral welfare by actively encour
aging the bona fide organizations
of labor, business, agriculture
and the professions to set up a
system of economic councils for
industry-wide and national eco
nomic planning. Wc urge the
government to call the leaders of
these organizations together im
mediately and to assist them in
establishing a workable system of
industry councils.”
In (be field of legislation, the
statement urges enactment with
out delay of a Federal housing
measure which, “while respecting
the rights of private enterprise,
will provide decent accommoda
tions for low-income families;”
second, extension of social secur
ity “fo provide wider coverage
and greater benefits both as a
stimulus to full production and
employment and in fairness to
the beneficiaries;” third, increas
ing, the statutory minimum wage
from 40c to at least 65c per hour
under the Fair Labor Standards
Act; and fourth, simplified tax
legislation providing fair incen
tives to industry, while giving
“more equitable treatment to
low-income families with depend
ent ehildrer ”
