the apple is perhaps the most

apple trees can be obtained which
Will bear fruit within a year or
two after planting.
One cannot expect good fruit
from apple trees unless they are
carefully sprayed at the proper
times. When spraying apple trees
keep in mind that the two most
important enemies of good apples
are the cooling moth and apple
scab. In controlling these enemies
of the apple with the proper
sprays you will incidentally con-
troll most other pests of the apple.
The spray for scab is applied in

A Delicate Matter
The CIO has never been able to
stand on it's own feet. In the begin
ming it was subsidized by the treas
ury of the United Mine Workers
Union And from the beginning it has
received active and vital assistance
from various government agencies in
organization and other matters. With
out such assistance, it never would
have been able to survive.
Why government agencies have
gone out of their way consistently to
help the CIO is a matter so delicate
that even our intrepid typewriter hesi-
tates to explore it.
There have been whispers to the eff
feet that the acknowledged political
partisanship of the CIO appealed to
the political ambitions Of certain Of
fce-holders
There nave even been rumOrS OF an
affinity of purpose and objective be-
tween pinkish government officials
and some Of the more deeply carmined
leaders Of CIO unions. Such rumors
were partly confirmed by the fact that
several government officials, after
being ousted because of their extreme
political views, quickly found haven
and a job in the CIO organization.
Regardless of such speculations, the
point we wish to make is that in the
l. L. o. case the American Federation
Of Labor finally called for showdown.
If the administration was going to
persist in showing favoritism to the
CIO, we wanted to know it definitely.
If the powers that be were determined

FACING
The
F ACTS
With PHILIP PEARL

Phil Murray's announcement that
the CIO had withdrawn it's request for
equal representation with the AFL at
the forthcoming LILO conference in
order to "save the President from en-
barrassment" is thinly disguised at
tempt to gain glory from defeat.
Who put the President in an en-
barrassing position in the first place
by demanding such representation :?
None other than Brother Murray. By
withdrawing that demand now he is
doing no favors to anyone. He is
merely confessing his original guilt.
The whole controversy over labor
representation at the LILO conference
may appear to be merely a petty
squabble to outsiders unfamiliar with
the labor movement but it involves
serious and fundamental issues.
AS labor organization, the CIO is
such a weak reed that it requires con-
tinual shots in the arm in the form Of
recognition" by the government in
order to support it's prestige and in
order to maintain the fiction that it
constitutes an equal and collateral
branch Of the labor movement.
Such recognition as it has been able
to obtain from time to time serves
only to cement the split in the labor

and their brothers in intellectual pan
syism on the Daily Worker find no
difficulty in distorting and misinter-
preting them.
That's no trick at all for these boys
for they have been trained in school
of mental prestidigitation which can
denounce the war one day as sordid
imperialistic struggle and embrace the
cause of the United Nations the next
day as a holy crusade for freedom.
With the same magic the CIO Com
munists manage to slap the polltaxers
in the South with one hand and grasp
the paw of Frank Hague with the
other.
Caught right in the midst of Wilt
flying the Badoglio regime in Italy by
Stalin's sudden recognition of that
regime, the CIO Communists, with
reptilian ease, squirrel out of the hole
and found complete justification for
Soviet Russia's action.
How such completely unprincipled
and thoroughly hypocritcal puppets of
moscow can ever hope to turn the
workers of this country against the
American Federation of labor is be-
yond us.

NO APPEAL FROM

Washington, D. c. (ILNS).-The
Court Of Appeals quotes the u. S.
Supreme Court to show the Railroad
Labor act makes no provision for re-
view of certifcation made by the
National Mediation Board in a labor
dispute and dismissed appeals in 8
cases involving NMB certifcations
as bargaining agencies.
The court pointed to the Supreme
Courts recent decision in the Switch
mems Union VS.. National Mediation
Board: "The Supreme Court distinctly
held that Congress had given the
board exclusive and final jurisdiction
over representative proceedings !.
under the Railway Labor Act, had
provided no method of review Of it's
certification, and that it's action there
in is conclusive and without right of
review in any court"

Texas AFL Took Lead
(From National Committee to Abolish
the Poll Taxi

the Poll TAXI
The rightful place which labor plays
in the leadership of the anti-poll tax
movement follows an old tradition. In
1908, the very same year that Texas
adopted the poll tax, the Texas State
Federation Of Labor in convention
voted its opposition In 1907, it adopt
ed the following resolution:
Whereas, the present Texas poll
tax violates all the cannons of just
taxation, inasmuch as it % bears
equally on men of most unequal abil-
ity to pay, (2) is unnecessarily bur-
densome, (3) must be paid at a time
when workers find it most difficult to
pay, namely, in midwinter, and (4)
has in its penalty of taking away the
right to vote, a punishment which is
unreasonable and disproportionate.
Furthermore, "The amendment fixing
this penalty was adopted at a time
when it's full result in disfranchising
workers was not foreseen by u.s."
At this same 1907 convention. it
was recommended that each local
union in Texas increase it's dues to
cover the cost of their members poll
tax receipts in order that labor would
have full voting strength.
