Ed Ducks weekly column. 1t is
particularly good when educa-
tional subjects are dealt with.
Education is, i believe, his special
field. And a very big field it is.

to occupy all of Ed Ducks time

Mr.. Duck does not always confine
himself to educational subjects. |

passes.
For instance | was somewhat
shocked by his comments about a
group of his fellow delegates who
happened to take an opposite
view from his about certain mat
ters at the recent national con-
vention. In criticizing his fellow
delegates he used the word COM
munist rather freely, In fact, he
sounded like a corporation public
relations council or Pegler HIM
self excoriating labor unions. Is
it too much to say that our ene-
mics should have no assistance
from us in slandering members of
our organization?
Further, Mr.. Duck has directly
and by inuendo pointed the finger
of criticism at our Auto Lite Unit
shop committee, Even if his criti-
cism is justified, which l do not
grant, it is strictly an Auto-Lite
problem to be settled within our
unit in a democratic manner.
Mr.. Duck also claims that
plant-wide collection in Auto
Lite was made for the purpose Of
securing funds for present to be
made to his brother, who is in
the armed services. He hints that
the present was not received by
his brother. One would think that
this would be delicate matter
for him, of all persons, TO bring
up. Be that as it may, the matter
is trivial. However, for the sake
Of the record, | am able to say
that no plant-wide collection was
ever made at Auto-Lite for such
a purpose. | mention these vari-
Gus references Of Mr.. Duck be-

unintentionally perhaps, to the
promotion of factionalism in our
organization. And this at a time

will be called upon to face a great
test. | refer to the presidential
election. In order to meet that
test successfully, labor must have
solidarity as never before. All
petty chickering's and factionalism
must be pushed aside. Undoubted-
ly the issue is life or death for
organized labor. We must all put
Our shoulders to the wheel now
before it is too late, The task
ahead is almost superhuman but
we can win if we work and use
our brains. The magnitude of the
job to be done should challenge
the imagination of so energetic
and talented a man as Ed Duck.

Regardless of what is done officially, it looks
like labor is going to be the principal target for
the unholy alliance, target which has been shot
at plenty during the past year, and on few
occasions hit quite badly.
Coming events cast their shadows, and from
the dark images which now appearing on the
political horizon, it is definite fact that labor is
going to become greater target than ever.

Catholic Magazine
Comments on Raid

NEW YORK, July % - (Pl
- The Commonweal, a Catholic
lay weekly publication, will say
editorially in next weeks issue
that no distinction should be
drawn between the bombing of
Rome and that of the industrial
city in the Ruhr, or that of the
English town
Another view Of the bombing
will be taken by the Tablet, Of
fetal organ of the Catholic do
cese of Brooklyn, which will say
editorially in tomorrow week
ly edition that the precautions
taken TO avoid striking religious
and cultural structures will not
lessen the sorrow shared by all
of us that the United Nations
had not seen fit TO spare the
city which enshrines most of the
most sacred reacs OF Christian
antiquity.
1t is true that Nazis and Fas-
cists have bombed churches in
England, Malta and elsewhere, :"

but we have no desire TO ape
them. II is the Nszi way of life

Jean Must
Forego Raise
Ruling Prohibits
Hike in SoIory

Hopes of Leo Jean. vi @
chairman of the Macomb coun-
~ board of Social Welfare TO
obtain an increase in salary
today when Prosecuting Attor-
ney Wilbur F Held cited the
following statutes:
Section 1925 of the Compil-
ed Laws of 1929 provides as fol-
lows That the annual salaries
of all salaried county officers,
which are now or may be here
after by law fixed by the Board
of Supervisors. shall be fixed
by said board on or before the
thirty-first day Of October prior
10 the commencement Of the
term of such officers, and the
same shall not be increased or
diminished during the term for
which such officers shall have
been elected or appointed. y
Article l6, No. 3, of the State
constitu on 1908) provides
Neither the legislature nor any
municipal authority shall grant
or authorize extra compensation
to any public officer, agent, en-
ployee or contractor after the
service has been rendered or
the contract entered into. Sal
aries of public officers, except
circuit judges, shall not be in
creased, nor shall the salary of
any public officer be decreased,
after election or appointment -
These statutes are self ex
planatory and il is my opin-
ion that from the above, an in
crease in salary would be en-
tirely illegal even if the same
were retroactive as Of January
], 1943, Held declared. The
fact remains that his salary
must be set prior TO October 81
of last year, and the board can
in no manner alter the minutes
of those meetings and provide
a salary increase, coupled with
the fact that Jean has already
entered into his appointment,
I ne said. =
