UNIONS AT PEAK?-

It's our opinion that the strength OF
unions has reached its peak in this
country. When union heads refuse to
abide by the decision of mediation
boards, or when they refuse to heed
the call of service to country above sell
fish gain, they are digging free labors
grave.
An encouraging sign was voiced
over the radio Sunday night by Pear
son and Allen when they pointed out
that the women had become interested
in this senseless strike.
With Christmas coming on, and colo
weather here, they didn't see the rea-
son for going without heat, food and
the opportunity to do little Christ
mas shopping, just because John L
Lewis was trying to hold up defense
for the closed shop in every plant.
John L. Lewis gets $4,000 annually
as salary, and he gets it from dues
of the United Mine Workers.
That salary doesn't stop when ?
strike is called, but the pay of miners
does.
Lewis has a brother and a number Of
relatives who are also getting largi
salaries from the same source.
They don't suffer when the strike !:
ordered, but the miner does.
Organized labor is fine-f the or
CARNATIONS don't go to extremes.
Communists in labor have mad
these organizations go to extremes an(
the reaction throughout the country
Is becoming unfavorable to the union
After all they are trying to use die
tator methods in forcing people to be
come members Of their organization,
against their will. Free people dom
relish such tactics, and that is ONT
thing the people of this country are
determined about. They are determined
to remain free. They are determined
to keep the rights that the Constitution
has given them.
If organized labor doesn't recogniz,
that fact, they will lose some of tn,
gains they have made in the pas
twenty five years, and the fault will lii
with their leaders, John L. Lewis ant
others.

WASHINGTON, Aug. % (UP)-
The era when 81 down and 81 a
week could buy a car, radio, or wash
ing machine neared an end today
as the federal reserve board Or
dered sharp curbs on installment
buying beginning Sept. l.
Approximately $1,000, 100000 is
spent annually on installment buy
ing and the new regulations we're
designed TO reduce this sum drasti-
cally to conserve materials needed
in national defense and prevent an
inflationary spiral in consumer
goods prices.
The federal reserve, acting under
authority of a presidential executive
order, issued regulations covering
virtually every type of business
which uses installment credit.
After Sept. /, no credit for pur-
chaSes of "a selected articles may be
extended for longer than 18 months.
