Torch of Freedom

July 4th is a solemn day;
a day which recalls the
basic principles by which
our way of life has been
gloriously, happily lived for
165 years. Nothing can
stand in the way of our
perpetuating that way of
life, which is so fully the
realization of Democracy.
The torch of liberty, car
ried by America and every
right-thinking American,
has Illuminated history
since it was lit on the first
Independence Day, in 1776.
= That it's light may be
eternal, now is for us to re-
determine. And that we
are united with that COM
mon purpose has already
been evidenced by the con.
certed effort to speed-up
every defense activity. Our
armed forces; the men in
business who are a civilian
army of "officers" and
"privates" producing and
distributing, and the Labor
of America-all of them,
now must cooperate in the
sacred duty of holding high
the torch of freedom.

Think 1t Over

One of the best reasons
for the organization of all
workers, no matter in what
line of endeavor, was pub
lished by the Cleveland
Plain Dealer recently in the
column written by Russell
Weisman, economist at
Western Reserve univers-
ity. Doctor Weisman per-
haps did not intend that
this should be the case if
one is to judge by some of
his past articles, but there
it was, nevertheless.
He says in part that
wages of industrial workers
have risen above that of
those in other lines and goes
on to carry his point into a
dissertation on initiation.
Inasmuch as all of us are
interested in the govern
ment's future economic well
fare we must admit that DIR.
Weisman is pretty close to
the true picture of things in
his analysis, but what inter-
ests us more directly is his
admission Indirectly that
the unorganized white COL
Far workers are the ones
who have to suffer during
any period of price initiation
and that the industrial
worker has already seen to
it that his union has done
the job for him for which
it was formed.
Right there DR.. Weisman
said a mouthful. 1t is a
known fact that the lowest
wages are paid to those
who have not had the bene-
fits of a labor organization
back of them to press their
demands for increased
wages during any period of
prosperity or to forestall
unnecessary cuts during pc
riods of industrial recess
sion. Unions, regardless of
any personal opinion one
might hold as to their lead
ership, have seen to it that
the entire membership at
s'east has a voice in what
-Aappens to their wage scale
during emergency periods
and have protected wage
levels more than any other
factor in our economic sys-
tenn.
To the unorganized we
say, "Think it over. You
may be robbed of one or
two dollars a month in dues,
but your yearly income will
skow about a thousand per
cent return on the invest
ment."
