ANOTHER Clio UNION
BACKS GOLD MINERS

Sydney, N. S. (ILNS).-The Steel
Workers Union local here, affiliated
with the CIO, is threatening to start
either showdown or complete strike
in sympathy with the CIO gold mine
workers at Kirkland Lake, Ont, either
step to be taken if the Dominion gov
ernment continues it's hands-off atti-
tude on the dispute at the Kirkland
Lake area. The government has con-
sistently refused to interfere.
The Sydney local claims to control
about $500 men. The threat follows
closely on similar action by the Tren-
ton, N. S., local of the same union, as
a sympathetic gesture to the striking
gold miners. The CIO originated the
showdown process last year because
of a factional struggle within the
United Mine workers for District 26.
Thus far, the U. NJ. w. has not been
committed in favor of sympathetic
walkouts or production curtailment,
in the effort to have the Canadian
government end the gold mining dead
lock between operators and miners.

There's something about the Sa-
mural
Which really thinks that ideas can
be chained
There's something in Hitler's ide-
ology of hates
Which refuses to try to live in the
presence of free thinking
That something, is proving to be
like iron filings in the bearings
These would-be-superior beings are
finding certain limitations
They cannot tell the truth to their
peoples
They must lie and deceive, and con-
tradict the facts of living history
At least, they think that they must
do So
They cannot deal squarely with the
world in which they live
In which attitude they soon get to
where they deceive themselves
Which proves their defect, and the
littleness of them
They are the Little Peoples
Fat, and sleepy, our Giants have
been
But within them there is still the
native force which made them great
Overconfident, conceited, supercil-
ious. too conscious of power

Union Head Sees President

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-David
Dubinsky, president of the Interna-
tional Ladies' Garment Workers
Union, held a conference with Presi-
dent Roosevelt at the White House and
was reported to have discussed prob
lens affecting relations of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor and the Con-
gress of Industrial Organizations.
Dubinsky told reporters that the call
was made at the request of the Presi-
dent, and that he could not, therefore,
discuss the conference, except to say
that it dealt with many matters of
interest to the labor movement

Would ever dare to try anything so
ambitious
AS enchanting the Giant Democra-
cies-
Now the little lines tighten
Now the Little Peoples become ar
rogant-
And now the Giant Democracies are
waking up
Only to find their feet are bound,
their hands shackled-
Their sea lanes beset with sneaking,
treacherous, inhuman foes
Their brave soldiers and sailors
forced to face trained hordes-
Armed with all the paraphernalia
which the Democracies have given
them
Armed also with ruthless hate, de-
monic purpose
These Little Peoples
May destroy this civilization
But their minds are not equal to
taking it over
They are living in the killing level
of human Development
They can use the Giants tools for
killing, they think
They think of work and labor as the
functions of slaves
So they put guns and planes in the
hands of their hordes-
Expecting that these will be able to
do with them what the Giants do
Not being able to learn the meaning
of the wider intelligence
Which made possible the expanding
power and widening ideas
Which, curiously, have been found
only among free peoples

Lilliputians
Tied Gulliver up
So tight he could hardly wiggle-
With a lot of little strings, at which
he laughed
Until he tried to get up, and found
himself helpless
The Little People found him sound
asleep
Big and good-natured, he never
thought those little folks
Could tie him fast, and have him at
their mercy
So, the Little Brown Men
Have tied up John Bull and Uncle
Sam
Two most powerful nations on the
whole earth
With many little airplanes, and little
islands of sea power
Getting ready for their act, while the
Big Boys smiled
Not believing it possible that those

Ignoring plain facts, open to all the

They did not gamble on their great

But now is the day of reckoning, to
make up their balance sheets
And find out whether what they

Will outweigh the inherent forces
of freedoms on this earth

in the service who claim to be legal
voting residents of their respective
states.
The bill further provides that these
lists are to be returned to the gov
ernors at least 80 days prior to the
primary or general election where
upon the governors may supply the
secretaries with ballots directed to
the men who are found to be entitled
to vote. I can see considerable diff
ficulty in getting ballots to men serv-
ing in the combat areas but none that
are insurmountable. If the Martin
bill becomes law it will be interest
ing to note how the service men vote
in November.
Shameless Tax Evasion.
A number of the larger corpora
tions are evading Federal taxes by
greatly increasing the pay of their
higher officials. According to figures
made public by the House Naval
Affairs committee some of these pay
increases amount to as much as 375
per cent, the most glaring of which
is the case of vice president of the
Dupont Company whose salary was
increased from $45,000 to $213,813
in the 1938-1939 period. President
Grace of Bethlehem Steel, was
jumped from $751; to $776,258,
and vice president of General Elec-
trio had his pay boosted from $74,-
Askov American., 1942-04-23

157, to $135, 1000. General William S.
Knudsen, former president of Cen
eral Motors, and now working in
army production, was drawing down
$193,713 in 1888, which was increased
to $299,881 the following year.
When we read of salary increases
like these it is not to be wondered
at that the workers in war produc-
ton are asking for their share of the
profits. No wonder this war will
probably cost us five times as much
as did World War I. Fortunately,
we have the power to recapture these
padded pay checks through taxation
and this we are going to do. No one
has right to profit excessively from
this war and it must and will be
stopped.

The well known Associated Press
and Wide World correspondent, Clark
Lee, who was with Macarthur on

"The American air force on Ba-
taan usually consisted of one or two
combat planes in flyable condition
on good days, that is. Often there
was none.

Con at least two occasions when the
Bataan front lines were hard pressed,

Mr.. Clark's revelations make the
heroic defense of Bataan all the more
outstanding. To think that thou
sand bombers would have kept the
Japs out of Malaga and turned them
back from the Philippines! And there
are those who would lay the blame
on this and preceding Congresses
when, as matter of fact, the Presi-
dent has been given so much money
by Congress that he has been able
to spend only part of it.
If there be any complacency it is
