through circumstances beyond their
control do not own one inch of this
land they are asked to defend. The
minds of these are fertile ground in
which to sow the poisonous seed of
communism. Wide spread ownership
of property is the best antidote
against this evil.
Since the products of industry are
joint result Of capital and labor,
with labor being the more important,
for without labor capital would have
never existed, l can see no sensible
reason why this profit should not be
divided between the two parties con-

Democracy, like charity should be-
gin at home, little democratic action
and not so much talk, would in my
opinion tend to eliminate most of
these communistic ideas of which our
leaders of industry express so much
concern.

For Approximately the past two
years, the retail clerks have been
striving to secure a wage agreement
with East Liverpool business con
Germs providing for fair wages and
reasonable working conditions without
success.
A very small percentage of the
business men have given evidence of
any desire for maintaining collective
bargaining with the union; the ma
jority being definitely opposed to the
unionization of their establishments.
In many cases, clerks who are de-
tcrmincd to secure union arrange
mcnt have been the objects of Scorn
and have been much maligned by
those who do not see fit to give any
assistance towards the establishment
of an American employeremploye re-
lationship.

hands of Communist agents. | cannot
think Of any single thing you might
do that would be better calculated to
increase membership in the Commu-
mist Party than to tell the workers

Mr. Meany scored another point
when he asSaiIcd the "freezing" of
present open shops and the prevcn-
tion of new closed shop agreements
which the bill seeks to enforce. He
pointed out it would be unfair to es-
tablish business firms which are fair
to labor because newly formed com
pctitors would have an advantage
over them.
''rhc American Federation Of La
Dor has been and is consistently in
favor of voluntary mediation and ar
bitration but it is absolutely and un-
aItcrably opposed to compulsion," Mr.
Meany concluded. "We suggested the
creation of the National Defense Me

been highly successful. We ask that
it be given a fair chance to handle
this problem along voluntary lines

would leave labor helpless. Labor
turnover will more than likely result
in many C. |. o. unionists becoming
members of A. +. of l.. unions and the

have to be shelved. The average
unionist is interested in labor's well
fare, not in harmful name calling and
counter action.
If three nations can live at peace

America Needs More Food Production
''Some people are saying even now
that our principal problem is still one
of surpluses," said Secretary of Agri-
culture Claude R. Wickard, in re-
cent speech. So far as our export
crops are concerned, wheat, cotton, to-
bacco, and another commodity or two,
they're right. But so far as pork,
dairy products, poultry, eggs, toma-
toes, and some other foods are con-
cerned, they're wrong, dead wrong.
Remember that thousands upon
thousands of our own people have
never had enough of the right kinds
of food. We can put the food we
store up to good use here and abroad
A part of any program for the defense
of democracy is to be certain that oui
men, women, and children have enough
good food to keep them strong anc
healthy"
