Marshall generally regarded as second in of 12 UAW officials to suryey con- ditions in auto and plane plants of Western Germany, France, Italy ar Stor. del tion in king for the delega' a press interview at UAW head- quarters in New York immediately after arrival, Livingston said ECA funds have enriched the employers of those countries but brought lit tle improvements to their working people. The group’s criticism is directed at ECA on the ground that “we must see that the common man feels he has something worth fight- ing for in case of aggression.” NV , admitting that the workers away from the left, they spoke of “low morale” among the the workers.” French stores, he said, bulged with goods which workers earning $25 to $40 a month could not buy. Workers of the Fiat auto plant in Turin had to work an hour for an ounce of butter, or two hours to pay for a lunch, he said, with week- ly wages of $12 to $15 considered high in that Italian plant. In West Germany, there was widespread resentment among Nazis to head private firms. _ Livingston and other UAW offi- cials who made the tour are still not ready to conclude from the Marshall Plan is a failure. . They expect to present recom- “mendations for “improvements” in distribution of ECA funds, but fail to indicate how they intend to get such changes in face of plans to turn the Marshall Plan into a mili- ‘tarization program and the trend in the U.S. Congress to shave down ‘non-military appropriations to a rock-bottom minimum. ers!

In Canada the battle against the iniquitous practice of robbing workers’ pay envelopes through a garnishee has yet \to be won.
