American citizens have greater privilege than stand
in reverence before their flag
Into flags fabric is woven the sweat and toll -
blood of forefathers. George Washington and VI
Forge there. Abraham Lincoln and the Unknown Son

bor Corregdor and hundred other battle fields 1t is the
challenge of 48 states united in and holy
But flag is than the achievement and glory of
America because in it you and and every and
woman in this vast country of In it every Union
and union the business men, workers, farmers and
public officials and every element which has contributed

And because all in flag, it becomes
preston of our character, loyalty ideals 1t
bozes liberty and democracy 1t is the silent token of the
four freedoms for which have fought and for which
fighting.

HALF SHALL DIE
Mother Shipton, in the 14th Century wrote:
"When pictures move with actions free,
When ships like fishes, swim beneath the sea,
When spread wings that span the sky,
Then half the world, deep drenched in blood, shall die
We have moving pictures Ships swim beneath the
Men have conquered the sky and half the world deep
drenched in blood is dying.
God gave u.s. without any cost, other than labor, the
mountains with their buried wealth. the streams with their
power, and plains rich with plenty. We have mastered
earth and harvested its We have produced
abundance but have not always used these gifts for
benefit of all Gods children.
We shall not lasting peace the security high

Whatever may be the COST let continue our support
of all efforts to the end that loyalty
and devotion to the flag 1t cannot be- vsion the hope

COMPANY UNIONS
BY o. ]. Pecord

/ NONAA ShAN Il - SANASANo
At the time the NRA first went
into effect, many large companies
and some small ones, realizing their
employees had been given the right
to organize and collectively bar
gain, sought to beat their men to
the punch by organizing company
unions.
One of the biggest boomerangs
around this part of the country,
SO far as the union was concerned,
was a union formed by one of the
Great Lakes shipping companies.
After the union had been or
ganized under company stooges,
the employers sat back and and
congratulated themselves that they
had done a fine piece of work and
their worries were over.
But they had picked the wrong
men to head the company union. AS
a result, their own union began
making demands upon them, most
of which were far in excess of any
thing similar unions, not company
inspired were asking.
AS result, the company was
glad to get rid of their ungrateful
brain child and let the men enter a
regularly organized union which
was not eXorbitant in it's demands,
but simply asked for a decent wage
and better working conditions.
A LESSON?
Many similar instances have oc-
cured where company inspired
unions have kicked over in the
traces and double crossed the COM
pany. In fact, that is one factor
which the company can never be
certain about, for even company
unions develop ideas from watching
regularly constituted unions in ac-
ton, and these ideas do not coincide
with the idea which the company
had when it created it's labor child.
With so many illustrations of the
futility of company unions, not
only to stay put with respect to the
company, but to create other diff
cuities about which many COM
panies have learned to their sor-
row, it is indeed strange that there
are still smart business men who
fall for the idea.
In the long run, most company
inspired unions fail. Either they
cannot aid the members by effec-
tive demands upon the employer,
because that is the way employers
want it, and so drive members into
other legitimate unions, or they get
out of hand and the company is
glad to get rid of them.

POLITICS

Senator Claude Pepper, Florida
Democrat, was one of the outstand-
ing speakers of the convention.
Senator Pepper believes we
should have better labor legislation
and spoke on several recommended
pieces of legislation which met with
the hearty approval of the entire
convention.
AS Senator Pepper talked, many
of us agreed among ourselves
"it's too bad the senator isn't from
Ohio" We couldn't help comparing
Senator Pepper with Taft, and the
comparison - well, you make the
comparison.
Mayor Tobin of Boston, and Gov
ernor Leverett Saltonstall of Mas
sachusetts both spoke to the con-
vention. Believe it or not, both
openly Dragged that the CIO had
done more than a little bit to help
them into office. So that makes
the CIO political amateurs. Or
does it?
Mayor Tobin happens to be a
Democrat, while Governor Salton-
stall is Republican, which indi-
Gates that labor is not interested
in party lines so much as it is in
getting men into office who will do
something for it.
In this connection, the thought
occurred to me that it is a shame
that we in Ohio couldn't have elect

Tribute 70 The FIuq
BY LARRY NACHTRAB

American citizens have greater privilege than to stand
reverence before their flag
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-08-22
tReg. U. s. Pat. off.) BY JACK CUDDY

(Uniteu fTcSS oLdH OOTTCSpOHucHtJ
 New York, Aug. 22-(UP)-Ac- cumulating evidence today tells us that the time has arrived to indulge in the ultimate in superlatiVes and admit that Ray Sugar" Robinson a slender young Negro from Harlem is the greatest all-round fighter we ever have seen.
 We say this after Robinson's i'm pressive second-round technical knockout last night over Ruben Shank of Denver, Colo, an accom- lishment that many experts will shrug off as "just one of those things"
 But it wasn't "just one of those things" Despite the betting odds of Al, young Robinson tackled one of the most dangerous men he ever faced in awkward, bobbing, weaving young Shank. The unorthodox youngster was battering Robinson from rope to rope for the first min- ute and half of the second round, proving himself a mighty tough kid "a kid who had licked the former welterWeight champions Henry Armstrong and Fritzie--a lad who never had been knocked out.
 But when Robinson-Harlem's dancing dynamiter-finished with cowboy Shank, he left his spurs jingle -jangle jingling in such fashion that Referee Billy Cava- naugh could have counted 50 over him instead of stopping the sched- uled 10-round fight with Shank on the floor for the fourth time in that second round.
 The finishing punch-the "cour de grace"-Was a straight right hand that almost drove the brown haired Westerner through the ropes But the ropes served as a barrier and bounced the "comma-ed' Col oradan back into the resin dust or the canvas. Cavanaugh mercifully stepped in at 2:26 of the second

Gomez, Roach Easy Winners By K. o. Route

Three knockoutS, one of the tech nical variety and a pair of even Stephen decisions were recorded in the five-bout professional boxing program last night at Randolph Cloves Stadium which attracted some 1900 fans, most of whom came to see Indian Gomez of Cuba again. What they saw was some So-so op- position provided by one Mike Pis- kin, 155 pounder from Freehold, N. J. which lasted less than three rounds, as Gomez, using a "bolo" blow sent in two or three which landed near Piskin's heart; the lat ter going down twice and finally being counted out.
 Whistling Willie Roach of Will mington was supposed to mix with a boy who had decisioned him, one Nunzio Bisognia of Newark, N. J. but Nunzio missed the boat up the Naugatuck river, and Willie found another negro in front of him, with the tag, Earl MintZ. Before the round was well into the third min ute, Mintz was dropped twice and counted out.
 Young By Two
 Al Renick of Hartford punch from Frankie Young of New Haven which caused a tooth to rip through his upper lip, causing the loss of so much blood that AIS seconds jumped in the ring to stop the wound as soon as possible. Renick started well, won the first round, but couldn't hold the veteran Young away long enough to score with his boxing ability. Young scaled 150; Renick 155.
 Jack Donahue of the U. s. Coast Guard and Julian HalaVez of Puer- to Rico, wound up in a fast six round draw, while Willie Shanks and Al Barbosa were also even after four rounds of boxing.
 Waterbury A. c. announced that 1t would not run show next week, but will try to show return bout featuring Gomez and Jerry Fiorello in two weeks.

KOKOMO KLOWNS
 FROM MONTREAL FACE BRASSIES
Hartenberg or Verderdame to Pitch for Locals;
 Last Gafne for DOran

The Montreal Kokomo Klowns, Clown Princes of the Diamond" ]" will be the attraction at the Mu- nicipal Stadium tonight when they clash with Fred Davis Waterbury Brasscos in another night game, the sixth on. the schedule for the local club. The game is scheduled to start at 8:30.
 The Klowns are the first white cub to face the locals and are re- puted to be the hibhest calibred club yet to appear here. Winners of 61 out of 66 games this season, their records hcspeaks of their class as diamond performers. A ball club has to be good to specialize in com- edy and still be winning team, especially against such teams as the Brooklyn Royal Giants, Grumman Bombers, New York Police, Black Yankees and the other Negro Na- tional league aggregations.
 Leading the Klown galaxy is Os- car Seagert, "the Nick Altrock of semi-pro baseball" who is recog- niged everywhere as Altrock's great est rival in the business of fun- provoking in baseball. As if in de- fiance of the boast of Seagert as a laugh-maker, Manager Davi of the Brasscos has signed up Waterbury's own Tom Taylor, former colored Baseball star catcher and comedian, to spar with Seagert in the enter tainment line. Tom will hold down one of the coaching Eerths for be- sides being baseball wit, he is also a real ba"eball man.
 Manager Davi will use his entire regular lineup tonight including Tommy Sheehan behind the bat, either Johnny Hartenberf or Lefty Verderame on the mound, Lou Creddo at first, Charley Francello at second, Jack Tyler at short, Bobby Ray at third, and Goose Rosscmondo, Billy Moore and Razor" Doran in the outfield.
 FrancellO Continues Batting Spree
 Charley "Franjy" Francello uppe'd his h'atting average several points last Saturday night as the nickeid Brooklyn Royal Giant pitching for three hits in five trips to the plate to continue to pace the Brasscos at the bat. Francello has garnered 10 hits in IS trips to the plate for the magnificent average of .555, an in" crease of IT points. Billy Moore jumped from fifth to second plac. in the hitting department getting one for three last week or a total of eight safeties in g times at bat, and thus pulling into tie with Goose" Rossomondo.
 The batting averages of the Brasscos to date are as follows:
