As We See It
by
THE STAFF

WE, THE PEOPLE, didn't get
much of break on the new tax
alton bill presented to Congress by
the Ways and Means Committee.
The joint income tax return for
husbands and wives, which would
have brought $4OO,OO 900 into
the Treasury, was defeated; many
of the rich are still able to avoid
taxes by buying tax-exempt state
and municipal bonds; and Presi-
dent Roosevelt's recommendation
that all individual incomes be linn
tied to $25, 900 after taxes are paid,
was thrown i'm the waste basket.
Nevertheless, you hear some people
say that workers wages must be
kept down to avoid initiation!
Who's screwy now?
POOR PUBLIC RELATIONS
cork, If you ask us. We're referring
to former Coz. Ray Bold1Cin opening
his election campaign Nth an inn
bortcnt speech at the Westpoyt Coms-
try Club. The pictures aVe've seen of
the gathering of $500 Republicans
at the Country Club, and the stories
7Ce've read give the impression of a
szCGnky group in SzVonk setting.
These people can help, but they're not
going to elect Baldwin. It's the
horny-handed son of toll, zUho has the
Uotes ("The Lord mast Ioye him, he
made so many of him") and Baldwin
aOo"ld haze been better advised if he
had fired his opening gun in less
yitsy setting. Connecticut is an indus
trial state noa0, and the old situation,
aOhen O man could be elected If he got
the rural 0otes, is o thing of the past.
AND, BY THE WAY, z0Jsat is the
situation in the Connecticut G.O.P.?|
WENDELL WILLKIE told the boys
and girls at Westbort that the party
must bar all isolationists from leader

BALDWIN,, on the other hond, said
there is room in the Republican party
for them. Is there, or isn't there?
Somebody had better make UP his
mind soon.

Egan States
Federation Sec. Scheduling
Addresses By Ellen Mar
shall and Ann Gould

Secretary Treasurer John ]. Egan
of the Conn. Federation of Labor,
expressed satisfaction this week
with organized labor's representa-
ton on county, local and appeal
rationing boards in the state. He
pointed out that labor is still not
represented on a few local boards,
but is represented on the all-im-
portant appeal boards.
SCHEDULING ADDRESSES
In order to help clarity the mem
bers of the American Federation of
Labor in the state on rationing, con-
version, price control and related
problems, Egan is continuing to ar
range to have Miss Ellen Marshall,
Hartford Office of the Office of Price
Administration, and Miss Ann L.
Gould, Conn. and R. I. representa-
tive of the industrial dispute section,
labor division of the War Production
Board, appear before the central labor
unions. Any body seeking to have one
or both speak before it, Egan declared,
should communicate with him, in
order to avoid conflicting dates.
Miss Gould was to speak before the
New Haven Central Labor Council
on Thursday evening, July 2. She will
also address the Norwa1k Central
Labor Union on Thursday evening,
July 10.
Questions concerning labor rep
resentation on the rent control
bodies which have been raised by
AL members, Egan felt, could be
considered answered by the pres
ence of labor people on the appeal
boards. The appeal board, accord
ing to his information. could rule
on protests from decisions by the
rent control body.

We Commoners
Win For Once!

WASHINCTON.-A great victory
for the common man was scored
a few days ago when the District
of Columbia court of appeals up
held the conviction of the American
Medical Assn. and the District Med.
ical Society for conspiring to vio-
late the antitrust law.
CHARTER OF FREEDOM
The decision is called a charter of
freedom for the medical profession
by the Cooperative League of the
U. S. A. But it is more than that,
for it breaks the AMA's monopolistic
hold and gives the common man a
to obtain care without exorbitant fees.
chance to form medical co-operatives
It will help bring medical care to
millions of American who have never
been able to afford it.
Throughout the court hearings the
two roads for the medical profession
were clearly marked. One was a DEM
ocratic approach to the solution of
the tremendous problems of medical
care. The other was the AMA's road,
a road of restricted practice, monopoly
and their inevitable results, high cost
of service and inadequate care.

One Big Union For

ISOLATION of Machinists this week
laid low malicious rlimors circulate
ed by company stOoges to the effect
that the employees of the High
Standard Mfg. Co. of Hamden and
New Haven would be distributed
among the different American Fed
Grafton of Labor bodies.
Cederholm told High Standard
employees in series of meetings
with different department and
shift groups that all eligible main
tenance and production employees
would be organized into the Inter-
national Association of Machinists
and only into that union. The only
employees excluded will be foremen,
watchmen and those having a con-
fdential rating, that is confidential
~ inc management
ASSIGN HAYES HERE
Cederholm also reported that the
international was very pleased with
the response of the 5000 employees to
LAM. organization, so pleased, in
fact that an additional grand lodge
representative is being added to the
High Standard organizing committee.
The newcomer is Alfred Hayes, who
was former LAM. system general
chairman of all members employed by
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford R. R. and has been organizing
in New Jersey until his transfer here.
The influx of new book members and
signed authorizations brought about
the decision to speed up the organi-
cation drive.
PROTECTION FOR ALL
s'Any High Standard employee on
production or maintenance, except
those excluded for obvious rea-
sons," the organizer told High
Standard bookmembers, ''irrespec-
tive of skill or lack of skill, whether
he works on the most complicated
machine or sweeps the floor, will
receive the same protection from
our organization. Our slogan, AN
injury to one is an injury to ALL
has been most responsible for the
record growth of our union over
the past year in which time we
averaged 10000 new members a
month.
s'The policy of preserving the
right for its members to name the
price of their labor has made the
Machinists Union known through
out the u. S. and Canada as the
organization which has done most
for its membership in guaranteeing
them a decent home, the right to
rear and educate their children, and
the ability to lay something aside
for a rainy day. The records of the
LAM. can and will show that its
members in mass production plants
such as High Standard, receive the
highest rates in the country" he
concluded.
The special High Standard commit
tees named by the New Haven Gen.
trail Labor Council and Elm Lodge 42O
continue to hold joint meetings Tues
day nights at the Labor Temple.
Elm Lodge has urged all its MEM
bers to attend its regular membership
meeting Tuesday night July 7, also at
