WHY?
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Why do | talk 80 much about bro
therhood? a good many people have
asked me- making all sorts of sugges-
tions as TO why | rake the line | do.
Most of them make the mistake of
thinking ! talk about tolerance. | don't.
| loathe the word TO say II tolerate"
is to say Il put up with you''-which
to my mind is almost as bad as active
dislike 1t is so unpleasantly patron
iziDg.
! talk about brotherheod' and neigh
borlin6ss and understanding for purely
selfish reasons ] happen to believe in
America. reckon hat by ancestry |
am as completely hundred per cent
American as anyone without Indian
blood can be. | believe in. the American
way of life. | believe in democratic
government and the rule of the people
by the people. | believe in Lincoln's
great line-no nation can exist half
slave and half free.
Since ! believe this, | feel that in
tolerance, prejudice, hatred because of
race, Creed or color, discrimination or
special privilege either for or against
any group-are denials of the things
to which | owe allegiance and are
termites gnawing at the pillars of our
national house.
| may be an idealist but ! hold that
idealism is part of the American pic
ture. AS Walter Lippmann said once
Let us remember when we talk of
realism and of being realistic, that
hope may be aS realistic as fear, faith
as realistic as doubt, and that George
Washington who endured the bitter
winter at Valley Forge was the same
hardheaded man who at Philadelphia
presided over The formation of the
Union
| believe that unless we put into
practical application the ideal that is
America we cannot spread the Ideals
of the Four Freedoms abroad. Like the
Communist old Style do not believe
the way of life which | want Is safe
here unless il is safe everywhere. The
world is too small for differing ideol-
ogies. No man can be free unless all
men are free.
| do not feel That | have To pick my
friends or my enemies by groups. | do
not feel that / have to open my home
to anyone whom | do not wish TO re-
ceivc-but | do feel that my neighbor
is entitled TO the same privileges that
! enioy-and that the best way to get
along with him is ny the strict appli-
cation of the Golden Rule, | feel that
the persecution of any American of
any race, creed or color is my affair
because il threatens my life and the
existence of the democracy which has
given me, my parents, my grand
parents, my great grand parents, my
great great grand parents, and my
great great great grand parents, etc,
so much.
That is why | preach brotherhood.
That is why | will continue to bear
witness for my faith.

Back Union Leader
For Congress Seat

New Haven, Conn. OFp). - The
United AFL Political Action Commit
tee representing all AFL unions in this
area unanimously indorsed Vice Presi-
dent James t. Geclan of the New
Haven Central Labor Council for the
Democratic nomination for congress.
The resolution adopted by the UAtL-
PAC declared that the people of Con
neciicuts third congressional district
ARE being deprived of their constitu-
tional guarantee of fair and just repre-
sentation by the partial. shortsighted
and narrowminded attitude of the
present incumbent, Representative
Ranulf Compton (R), whose consum-
ing desire seems 10 be To discrcdit
President Roosevelt no matter who
may suffer by such action"
III Is imperative If our democratic
form of government is to survive that
people who employ such tactics he re
tired 10 private life at this next elec-
tion and the United AFL-PAC has a
solemn obligation 10 aid in ending such
iNlf lHbNf iht itNb
tuition said, putting the AFL unions on
record for Geelan, who has been serv-
ing as stare senator, and has proved
his adherence Ia the Soundest philos-
ophy of government, that of the great
est good for the greatest number"
The UAFL-pAC instructed its exc
culiye board TO eXpend effort and re-
source within its power" To enable his
and election. Special com
niltecs reported on radio, publicity,
ward voting and registering and prog
ress IN getting Il political action booth
sci up on the central green.
Compton has bad record on the
CIO-PAC congressional yardstick. He
voted wrong ON subsidies, price control,
he relieffor- he greedy tax bill and
was absent when the Smth-C Connally
act was passed.

Orders Employer
To Sign Contract

Brooklyn, n. Y. (FP).-In the first
decision of its kind the National War
Labor Board told Il rebel employer
that il considered signed agreement
with the union "a minimum require
ment for sound and stable indus
trial relations"
The employer, Ira S. Bushey, presi-
dent of II Brooklyn shipyard, had in
formed the WLB he was willing to
grant Local l3, Industrial Union OF
Marine q Shipbuilding Workers, al
the conditions named i'm n board deci-
sion, but would not sign contract.
Upon appeal from the union, which
won collective bargaining rights for
,the ,shinyards 900 workers in three
NLIlS5 elections. the WLB
ordered the company TO sign the con
tract by August a. Busbey was warn
od that his further defiance would
mean certifcation of the ease to the
President aS unsettled. Usual procedure
in such hold-out cases is for the Presi-
dent TO order the army to take over
operation.
The contract provides maintenance
of membership, checkoff, c f, vacation
rights, seniority protection, a Z per
cent bonus for night work and Il milf
tary service clause.

were Glad to read i'm the Herald where
our vacations for 1913 were approved
and feel sure the rest period for 1914
will be granted us following the Cleve-

The housing situation is so acute
that anyone wishing to reside in Cam
bridge must first buy Il dwelling, then
give the tenant notice to vacate, the
tenant then must do likewise. We are
fast becoming ''pay-like-rent'' home

Final plans have been completed and
everything in readiness for the annual
picnic Of the employees of the Univer-
sal Potteries, Inc, which will be held
at City Park on Saturday, August 10.
Through the cooperation of company
officials and the city in general, there
viii be about $500 i'm bonds and cash
prizes, together with an extra large
selection Of fine gifts of merchandise TO
be awarded winners in the various
events on the days program.
The sports program which gets I'M
derway at 80 p. IN. will include con
tests for the young and the old, and
will come TO climax with Il champion
ship soft ball tussle which promises 30

i'm the Navy have increased much more
ropidly due principally to the addition
of numerous amphibious vessels.
Huge Jump In Aircraft
The Navy says that June 80, 1914,
IL had more than 10 times the number
of craft of all classes, exclusive of
small landing craft and small yard
and district craft, than it had in com
mission on July /, 1910. During the
fiscal year closed June 30 1914, the
number of naval craft of all types ap-
proximately doubled
And even this does not conclude
Iabor's spectacular performance for
the Navy. In the aircraft field, the
number of Navy planes on hand at the
close of the hast fiscal year was almost
20 times the number on hand on July
/. 1910, and the number of planes on
1894 fiscal year.
The Navy had no advance base pro
gram activity under way July |, 1910,
and from a modest beginning late that
year the program has grown TO one of
the Navys ma jor activities.
Stay On job, Is Plea
Despite this magnificent record by
labor. the Navy is asking that workers
continue to hay it on the line citing
the fact that the Nayy's main fight
is in the Pacific and that its need for
ships, planes and supplies will end
only with the defeat of Japan.

Hanpegan, now internal reve-

What occurred then attracted

NOW. obviously there is but

There is a dark-skinned gen.

Now, Of course. there might
