IN part satisfied that need only fraction of in this
community would be justification enough
Consider problems which are the problems not only
of all labor every standing besides our Com
mandernChief Franklin Deano Roosevelt i'm our nation's
crucial war:
WE MUST PRINT THE TRUTH for the truth is found in
all too few commercial papers, column by Philip
PEARL ALL News Service which reprinted March

WE MUST MAKE ARTICULATE LABOR'S FIGHT FOR
EQUALITY OF SACRIFICE
AS you read this congressional committees are mutilating
Rooseves annaation program which, alone can assure
equality of sacrifice PROVIDED TT is ENACTED AS A
WHOLE! These committees have approved lowering of
personal exemptions $500 $1,000 for
family breadwnners, besides threatening with sales
They have left the gaping holes in income
which permits finance capital from paying
share They double and treble the burden workers while
remain examp.
This paper fights keep labor giving every
thing has for victory for repeated every

do fight for equality of sacrifice the
and cement national unity. We do fight for ceiling ON

by their words but by their records the offensive for vic

guarantee of victory
We only little such as VicePresident Wallace
spoke of, putting little paper for little man and
with the little mans support.
Yet if shall have done all to help our countrv
achieve victory in the shortest possible time, perhaps we'll
have time for less crowded birthday come Nav g 10A3
