NOT An Anti-Strike Act

Let's get the record straight on the Smith-Con-
nally Act.
Some of labor's press critics are denouncing the
Go for allegedly attempting to "bulldoze" members
of Congress for having "legislated against wartime
strikes and stoppages."
This is the direct opposite of the truth.
Labor's complaint against the Congressman who
voted for the Smith onnally Act is that they passed
a bill designed to provoke and encourage wartime
strikes, and to curtail labor's rights.
The act disregards labor's solemn pledge against
any strikes or stoppages whatever for the duration of
the war, and actually provides procedures for the call
ing of wartime strikes. Furthermore, it has provisions
which encourage anti-labor employers to provoke stop
pages for union-busting purposes.
Labor's big objection to the Smith-Connally act is
that it stabs in the back our war effort.
It threatens war production by provoking strikes;
insults and demoralizes loyal war workers faithfully
observing their no-strike pledge; u~ndermines the
unions which are doing so much to boost production;
creates national disunity, and strikes at the democracy
for which we are fighting.

Be American, Register Now

How many people who read this editorial would
actually like to be of assistance to Hitler? How many
would like to destroy democracy? How many want
one Fascist state instead of forty-eight United States? ?
There is not an American whose answer to these
questions is mot ME" But there are many Amer
leans who are unknowingly playing the role of a helper
to the very things that millions of our finest men are
fighting against on the multiple battlefields of the
world.
YOU ARE AN AMERICAN =. Not a Nazi -. Not
BUT AN AMERICAN!
Remember what the word American stands for
Free speech -. the right to worship as you please =.
No taxation without representation Equal rights
to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness -. regardless
of race creed or color.
No taxation without representation. In the
past few years that phrase has become a standing joke
to the average American. A SELF-MADE JOKE!
Failure to register, failure to vote, has put the Amer
lean worker in the well-known and welloccupied posi-
ton behind the proverbial eight ball, and will keep
him there until he awakens.
How many Americans would stand for the tax
robbery of the little man if those tax laws had been
passed by Hitler? How many Americans would hest
tate to spring to arms if Hirohito dictated the terms of
the Smith Connally Act? How many Americans would
not rise in revolt if Benito had dictated the Price and
Rationing set-up?
It amounts to the same things when Americans
stand idly by, unregistered and failing to vote, while
the tail wags the dog and a minority group of reaction
aries dictate unbearable conditions to the mass of the
nations workers 49,.
Are o registered? Can YOU VOTE?
