I Remember
 By Richard E. CrOskey
 Local 4O4 Cooks & Walters Union
FORTY YEARS AGO

It might be we'll to relate some of the things that an organizer of any craft was up against before we had the many advantages, such as the Wagner Act, that have been given organized labor in the way of official recognition in recent years. There are many men in the New England States that were ac- lively engaged in this work at that time and, therefore I feel confi- dent that the statements that I make will appeal to them as being correct.
 You were strictly upon your own when you visited an unorganized town and about the only help you could expect would be from the Central Labor Council, if the town had one. It was up to you to dig your way into the confidence of the workers and get them to believe in your doc Urine and be ready to go along. That often meant the loss of their jobs, being victimized and blacklisted, so that it would be difficult to get any other job in that town. So the life ot any man or woman who was en- gagged in trying to organize the mem bers of their crafts was no bed of roses. fully realize also that it is no easy task today with all the new laws tavoring organization. It never can be as long as human se1fshness and greed exist.

 The wealthy class represents only small group. The Government can get 40 to 50 times more money by going after half the country which have never paid an income tax. It can do this by cutting out the ex- emptiOns. Everyone should pay taxes.
 Anyway, the wealthy man is be- coming as scarce as the dOdO. You can't get much more out of him. Corporations are paying from 6 to s times in taxes what they are pay ing in dividends.
