Clio OPPOSES
C0nCEN RATION
CAMP BILL

Stating that "the Congress of In
dustrial Organizations is in absolute
opposition to H. R. and all similar
repressive legislation" Russ Nixon
National Representative of Labor's
Non-Partisan League, voiced official
condemnation and opposition of four
and one-half million workers organ
lied in the C. l. o. to the provisions
of the Hobbs Concentration Camp bill
at hearing on the measure last week
before the house Judiciary committee.
THE organized labor movement"
Mr. Nixon said in part, "has been
aware for generations that attacks on
the rights of the non-citizen and the
foreign born are a prelude and a cover
for attacks on the rights of the labor
movement"
In discussing the case of Harry
Bridges, president of the International
Longshoremen and Warehousemen's
Union, who is facing deportation, the
c. |. o. representative said, 1.-THE per-
secution of Harry Bridges is not an
isolated case. 1t is part of familiar
pattern used against the efforts of
workers to organize to better their
lives and the lives of their families.
This pattern of anti-labor use of the
cutlery against non-citizens helps to
explain why organized labor, and par
ticularly the G. l. o., has constantly
opposed this bill and similar discrim-
inatOry measures"
Summing up, Mr.. Nixon told the
house committee: at is clear that this
bill will act to discriminate against
organized labor. 1t is clear that this
bill is not needed, that it will serve
only an additional evidence of de-
sire to curb civil liberties in this
country and ultimately worsen the
freedom and living standards of the
working men and women of this ma
ton"
Other organizations opposing the
bill at hearings before the house jul
dietary committee include: American
Committee for Protection of Foreign
Born; National Negro Congress;
American Youth Congress; National
Federation for Constitutional Liber-
ties; Descendants of the American
and the c. l. o. Maritime

IN OTHER
WORDS
BY JOHN STAHLBERG

Not long ago | heard three mel
talking about the eager tendency o
thirty-cent politicians to attempt t
dismiss criticism by shouting Com
munism!" One of them argued that
like the charge of witchcraft made b,
the bigots and dimwits of other days
the libel clings by sheer appeal to pop
ular ignorance. If the libelee dis
dams to reply to it, his silence is in
terpreted as a confession; if he denies
it, the denial is held in evidence
against him
One of the other two, a genuine be-
lever, replied dispiritedly:
81 guess they can just about prove
what they say, too. Anybody that
cares about the good of the people is
a Red, all right. That's the only class
of people that's done any progressive
thinking since way back"
The statement isn't true. | know
of no intelligent person who could be
brought to believe it. Nevertheless,
uttered thus, with entire conviction,
it had familiar sound 1t was fam
iliar-and here, Mr.. Dies, is the snap
per-because every ultra-conservative
in this broad land is loudly convinced
of the same thing The disgruntled
Stalinist, admit it or not, has found
soulmates, not among the much
abused liberals and intellectuals, but
in the darker corners of the reaction
airy camp.
1t is true that the radical and the
reactionary see the matter from wide
ly different points of view, but they
reach precisely the same conclusion:
towit, that anyone who now enter
tains or expresses an intelligent
thought is a Red In the mouth of the
radical the conclusion is boast; in
that of the Tory it is denunciation.
1t would be hard to determine which
is sillier, the denunciation or the
boast; the Tory who screams "Red!"
at anyone who can read and write, or
the communist who manages to look
the Finland episode and the Axis-Rus-
whoop it up for Stain. Both these
gentlemen give me, for one, highly
censorable pain.
The most striking recent example
of the Tory weakness for denouncing
anything that seems intelligent and
reasonable is the sudden attack on the
Free Company following its presenta-
ton of the Orson Welles radio pro-
gram called His Honor, the Mayor"
Those who heard the program know
that it was the calmest possible dis
cussion of the right of assembly.
more scrupulously fair and inoffensive
piece of writing could not have been
done by Orson Welles or anyone else.
Yet certain groups which, not so long
ago, expressed their Americanism by
raiding the nations treasury, called it
subversive" and designed to poison
the minds of Americans" Why? The
absolute zero of ordinary sense was
by the American Legion of
fetal who declared that the very
name Free Company sounds SUSPECT
ously communistic."
Before the inconceivable empty
headedness of a person capable OF
such statement, one can only stand
GREATNESS and awestruck, in total dis
belief 1t just isn't possible for a
human being to be as dumb as that!

Goa Grocery Reports
Increase in Business

N. KANSAS CITY, Mo.-The Gro
Gerry Department of Consumers Coop
erative Assn reported a record break
ing sales increase of 500 in March
over its sales in the same month a
year ago. The increase was credited
to canned food sale in which the
Coop wholesale distributed 5000 cases
of canned goods; the addition of sew
eral new associations handling gro
ceries; gradually rising prices; and
an increased use of COOP label mer-
chandise.
The Grocery Department, which is
just four years old, is serving 125 of
the 4S6 member-association in Goa.
A. f. Katka, manager of the Grocery
Division, urged all local co-operatives
to add grocery divisions as rapidly as
possible in order to broaden their
service to Coop members who need
groceries as well as petroleum prod
ucts and services.

CANT GET
INSPECTORS
Returning $4,000 of Mon
ey Appropriated for Inspec-
tors Because Civil Service
Unable to Fill Needs; Labor
Officials Skeptical.

Observation-Disclosures
division officials will return to the US
treasury $750,000 that should have
been used during the last year for the
employment of inspectors in the en-
forcement division, Administrator Phil
B. Fleming revealed here.
Last year the division returned
$4,000 allotted to it for inspectors
after labor organizations put up a
successful fight in congress for ad-
ditional funds for the division.
Fleming contended that the sum
was not spent because the division
was unable to obtain from the civil
service commission the 1000 inspec-
tors needed. He indicated that he ex-
pected to be criticized severely by Ia
Dor organizations.
Labor officials here were inclined
to doubt Fleming's difficulties with
the civil service commission contend
ing that the Federal Bureau of Inves-
tigation was able to increase it's staff
of investigators from 1900 to 5000 in
the same period
During the last three years, these
labor officials said, the wage-hour d.
vision has visited 25 per cent of the
covered establishments once A rea-
sonable requirement, they said would
be for one inspection of each Of the
100000 establishments once year.
