The voice of labor. (Cumberland, Md.) 1938-1942, 1940-09-26

In common with many other people we are
coming to belief that this Teller Willkie runs
off at the mouth
To show you what we have in mind we refer
you to his lofty statements of his desire to
sacrifice" himself to save the nation by put.

to make the voters believe that he has grea,
sense of his obligations. II is apparently a
habit with him as will be seen from the quota.
ton we print below. You will notice that or
this occasion he wanted to sacrifice himself
in the great and holy cause of the public
utilities
Said the little Teller at meeting of the
Economic Club in New York on January q,
1885:
IL want to say to you that no duty has
ever come to me in my life, even that in
the service of my country, which has so
appealed to my sense of social obliga-
ton, patriotism and love of mankind as
this, my obligation to say and do what |
can for the preservation of public utilities,
privately owned"
The great wind of Indiana then proceeded
to praise Samuel insult. wrecker Of the for
tunes and livelihoods Of investors as "a force
full, dynamic and attractive figure"
From all present indications. though. i,
seems that Willkie will be able to return to
his service for public utilities in November
After all didn't he say that his obligations to
them exceed even that in the service of my
country"

Dear Frank:
read your open letter to Presi'

Frank. I am surprised at YOU
I looked at your union record In
the Headquarters and find that
you joined the Union OF Local
1874 in September and that you
paid two dollars which included
your joining fee and one month
dues.
In your letter you addressed
TO Mr.. Dundon In the public
press you wrote. This Is n per.
sonal letter" etc. but by some
strange proceeding yor failed
TO send even a copy Of this per

addressed. You repeat your
statement again In the letter

that President Dundon was able
only TO read this personal mat

such an insignificant affair.
After all. Frank. 1t Is insignifi-
cant when one. member out of
eight thousand workers decides
that he doesn't have the gdts TO

You wrote that sou joindd the

Vol. SEPTEMBER 2s, 1910 No. 8


Some weeks ago the delegates OF the
w..,ern MARYLAND CLIO protested the use OF
N.Y.A. boys to pain, the Homecoming SentraI
High School. The Union men made the point
that in the past the work had been done by
skilled painters paid from the ample approP'i-
alton which the Alegany County Board oil
Education receives from the pockets OF the tax
PAYERS. The employment Of N.Y.A boys to
do the lob robbed these skilled painters OF
work which they might fairly and reasonably
expect
A Committee of the Clio Council protested
to the local N.Y.A. head, who arranged con-
ference with the State NYA Director Kyiand
Dempster This conference was slated ahead
at a time when the painting would be finished
and immediate remedy would be useless.
However. even this late timed appointment
was not kept and the Clio Committee which
came in to Cumberland from County towns
was left sitting without any word from Director
Dempster. In fact the gentleman has not yet
had the courtesy to notify the ClO OF his reason
for running out and not yet set another ap-
pointment.
The pay of of the entire affair comes IN
brief editorial in The Orange and Black.
paper of the Central High School. The paper
reports that an estimated damage OF from
5000 TO $500 was done to sixty pictures. more
through earelessness than anything else
The editorial then reports that the boys were
supervised by William Paul Cooper. who by
the way draws his salary as member OF the
teaching staff.
This is very interesting information The
Himsy reason given for the use OF MA. boys
to paint the school was that they were being
taught the skill Of painting interiors 1t such
was the case it would be reasonable to expect
that a suitable number Of competent and ex-
perienced master painters would have been
engaged to mpart their knowledge to the
N.Y.A. boys BY no stretch of the imagination
can a school teacher be regarded as SUCH as is
evidently shown in the results Of the incompe-
tent supervision.
Let US make il plain that the Western
MARYLAND CLIO is heartily in favor Of
N.Y.A employment. After all the youth
are from the families Of the workers and
the unemployed. But labor wishes to
make it equally plain that il is opposed to
exploitation of N.Y.A. boys in perform
ing work which rightfully belongs to their
unemployed parents who would be paid
decent wage for their services The local
labor movement thinks that the Central
High School painting represents dis
graceful episode connived at by the
County Board of Education and the
N.Y.A. officials. Labor believes that
youths can be taught the skill Of painting
by methods which will not result in keep.
ing their elders from rightful employment.
Although the local NY.A. head and State
Director Dempster may believe that the incl
dent is closed they are going to find that the
Clio Council will take this matter in hand
until an official policy i, adopted which will
prevent a repetition of such exploitation and
abuse Of the NY.A. purposes.
