FLORIDA FISHERMEN
ION AL UNION

St Petersburg, Fla. (ILNS). - The
Gulf Coast Fishermen's Union, com
posed of more than 40 commercial
fishermen from Sarasota TO TarpOn
Springs on the Florida west coast has
affiliated with the International Sea
farers Union, American Federation Of
Labor affiliate.
Paul Crosser, president Of the union,
said that the chief purpose is to sta
biliZe the price of grouper. The union
is demanding s cent a pound for tn"
fish and has refused to sell to whole
salers paying less than that.
Organization of the union followed a
recent tieup of commercial boats in
protest against dropping of the whole
sale price from s cents TO 8 cents a
pound.
The wholesalers claimed that be-
cause Of the cost of shipping and their
slim margin OF profit it was impossible
for them to pay more than 6 cents q
pound.

It's Up To Us!
By RUTH TAYLOR

Certain tendencies have begun 10
make themselves felt which have al
ready caused people to ask: win
there be reaction after the war? Will
we revert to past petty politics and
secret alliances? VIII Democracy, once
1t has borne the brunt Of the fight, be
hampered and hamstrung at every
turnT' This Is the cry OF the isOla-
tionists, who are even now in the
midst OF war, trying to return us TO
the egg from which we came
Democracy will lose out, they say.
VIII it? 1t may-unless we sell Democ-
racy TO the peoples Of the world. Our
boys are selling our American way
wherever our fighting units penetrate
But whether we continue their work
after the war will depend on how well
we draInatize democracy.
No matter how good case we have,
we cant put it across just by think
ing Of it. Labor has had this lesson
driven home recently. The handwriting
was on the wall, plain for anyone to
read-but Labor did not do selling
job and it will pay for its negligence
for long time to come.
| 1t was bad defeat-but defeat Of
democratic principles would be an even
greater one for the entire Labor move
ment, because Labor depends upon
democracy for its existence. COntrari-
wise, Labor Unions, run according to
strict democratic principles where the
true will of the ma jOrity prevails, are
one Of the best safeguards of DemOc-
racy.
We must learn to dramatiZe DemOc-
racy in order to sell ito prove that
1t works in every aspect OF our lives.
We must prove that freedom Of speech
and expression, freedom Of religion,
freedom of enterprise are the basis Of
the best possible system under which
man can live and grow We must prove
that we can disagree amicably, that we
are good losers, and that when the
ma jOrity decides, the minority will
abide by the decision - until another
election.
We must get out and work for the
things in which we believe not sit still
and fight about them. We must use the
power of the ballot box wisely and
unselfiShly-but we must use it, not
allow it to rust.
We must make creed of Democ.
racy to be followed as closely as those
who wear the uniform of the foreign
tyrants follow their particular fetish
or ideology. We must make of Democ-
racy a glorious crusade in which the
whole world will want to join. But we
cannot do this by sitting still and
talking about it. We have to act-and
we have to begin by the practical ap
plication by democratic principles il
our own group, our shop, our factory
our labor unions, our community; thel
in our state, our natiOn-and last, il
our world.
