loney and all other officers were unan-
imously reelected at the seth con-
vention of the Glass Bottle Blowers
Association of the United States and
Canada held in the grand ballroom of

thew Woll, second Vice President of
the AFL and by Frank Fenton, AFL

POST OFFICE CLERKS
PROGRAM RECEIVES
SUPPORT OF AFL

Indianapolis (ILNS). American
Federation of Labor support for the
objectives of the National Federation
of Post Office Clerks was pledged here
by President William Green Of the A.
F. of L., in addressing the twenty
third national convention of the post
Office clerks organization and the Ma
tional Women's Auxiliary.
"The time has come when the double
standard for government workers
must co." Green told the convention.
"The time has come when govern
ment workers must no longer be pc
nalized because they refrain from
strikes. s.. :"
Permanent salary increases and
time and half for overtime for
postal employees, which he declared
were long past due, were listed by
Green as chief detectives of the postal
clerks which the A. F. of l.. will help
in securing.
"We have refused" President Green
added, ''to listen to the siren voice of
those who would lead us into the by
paths of economic experimentation
We have stuck to the practical way
of life and have refused to listen to
PHILOSOPHERS imported into America"

Hogerty's letter was written is
"Thank you, Governor.
But we may be permitted to Won
der. And we do wonder how much
time Mr.. Dewey will be able to spare
for labor if and when he is elected
President since he finds himself too
busy even as governor to perform the
courtesy of issuing Labor Day mes
sage.
What's Happening to the COP?
And we wonder, furthermore,
whether Mr.. Hagerty considers us
naive enough to believe that Governor
Dewey prepares his own messages.
And we continue to wonder what is
keeping the governors talented staff
so busy these days.
While we are on the subject, let US
begin to wonder what is happening to
the republican party and its presiden-
tial candidate. Governor Dewey found
time recently to journey to ST. Louis
for a conference with large number
of other republican governors to plan
strategy and map policies for the
coming political campaign.
Out Of this confab, lasting two or
more days, came the decision to make
the republican party the champion of
States rights.
Ever since the days of slavery,
States rights has been the cover for
opposition to progress to America. It
is a moth-eaten, dessicated and hypo-
critical device for the perpetuation of
ugly prejudices, for the division of
our nation into forty eight hostile
camps, for the protection Of do-noth-
ingism.
Traditionally, the republican party

FACING
The
FACTS
With PHILIP PEARL

On Aug. / we sent telegram to
James c. Hagerty, executive assistant
to Governor Dewey, requesting La
Dor Day message from the governor
for publication in the AFL Weekly
News Service and in the 300 labor pa
pers which it serves free of charge.
In making this request we were not
asking a favor; we were offering
one. Each year at or about this time,
the President of the United States
makes available advance copies of his
Labor Day message for release in
Labor Day editions. In conformity
with the AFL's non-partisan political
policy, we thought it would be good
idea to give Governor Dewey an even
break with President Roosevelt and
run their messages side by side.
Today we received reply from the
governors executive assistant. 1t
said:
"Due to the pressure under which
Governor Dewey is working at the
present time, it is just impossible for
him to meet the requests that he re-
ceives for specially written messages
and I am sorry to say it will not be
possible for him to write one at this
time"
All we can say in reply-and we say
it in the same spirit in which Mr..

FEDERAL AGENCIES
PLAN VETERAN
JOB TRAINING

Washington, D. C. (ILNS), - Dis
charged servicemen may use the ia
cilities of federal agencies in training
for Government jobs, Veterans Ad-
ministrator Frank T. Hines reported
here.
His agency twill train veterans by
the on-the-job method in as many as
possible of the various agencies"
Gen. Hines said, using their space,
equipment, instructional material and
instructor personnel.
Gen. Hines made his announcement
in letter to Representative Green, of
Florida, in which he reported favor
ably on suggested training program
offered by H. E. Bolan, head Of the

ice office.

A Disillusi0ning Event
Lest these candid observations be
considered a departure from the
AFL's non-partisan political policy,
let US remind our readers that an in
tegral part of that policy is to throw
the spotlight on what each party has
to offer so that the membership can

intelligently Judge between friends
and enemies.
If we are misjudging the policy and
the attitude of the republican party,
we will be only too glad to stand COR
tie d whenever any accredited
spokesman for that party chooses to
give US the facts.
In the absence to date OF any such
statement from Governor Dewey or
his lieutenants, we must judge by
events. One such event, of recent oc-
currence, has been sadly disillusioning
Our good friends on Labor, y
weekly publication of the railroad
workers, which maintains a strict
partisan policy, warned the re-
publican party some two weeks ago
that if it persisted in joining with re-
dictionary southern democrats in blind
opposition to postwar legislation COW
ering human needs, such as the Muir
ray-Kilgore-T Truman Bill, it would
be committing political suicide.
Well, the republicans have gone and
done it. According to press dis
patches, only three republicans in the
senate voted for the bill when the
showdown came, while twenty-six re-
publicans lined up against it. To-
gether with twenty three democratic
senators, mostly from the South, they
were able to defeat the Murray-K Kil-
gore Truman Bill and enact in its
stead the wholly inadequate George
Bill, which attempts to deal with a
grave national problem on state
by-state basis.
Opponents Of the Murray Kilgore-
Truman Bill tried to make it appear
that the measure was the brain-child
Of the CIO Political Action committee.
They deliberately ignored the fact
that the AFL and the railway unions
consistently and urgently advocated
it's passage. Such devious tactics will
not hoodwink the seven million MEM
bers Of the AFL.

GOVERNMENT UNSAFE

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). M The
federal government and state govern
ments compel private employment to
provide safe working conditions but
does not practice what it breaches,
says R. R. Zimmerman, assistant to
the chairman of the Council Of Per-
sonnel Administration.
Zimmerman reveals that during
1943, $4,000 federal employees were
injured on the job and 167 were killed.
Mishaps caused loss Of 100000
mandays, and the government paid
out nearly $1O,OOO,0OO in compensa-
tion costs.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1944-08-25

has fought States rights and favored
the creation of strong central gov
ernment dealing with national prob
lens in nationwide way. The fact
that the republican party can come
up with nothing better to offer the
American people now than a return
to States rights must be discouraging
to it's liberal supporters.
Does the republican party plan to
solve the nations postwar problems
on basis Of States rights? Does it
plan to meet the big national and in
ternational issues resulting from the

palaver that will attract those who
belong TO the opposite party or no
party at all. These few extra votes
will shift the balance, they argue.
The fallacy in this reasoning is
that It is based upon consciously.
designed untruths. For instance.
the great mass OF Republican vot.
ers do not favor a durable cohesion
with Great Britain, Russia and
China. just as the masses OF the
Democrats do not support Eleanor
Roosevelt's negro activities. How
ever there are votes for these
causes In the big cities, particularly
New York. And that is what the
American political party has come
down TO; II Is not national instru-
ment OF leadership; ii is a mechan-
ism for attracting votes. The peo-
pie need something more adequate
in this era OF crisis.

Congress Is to have a FIVE weeks
breathing spell. That doesn't
mean a vacation for our Il repre-
sentatives in the House or the two
senators. The schedule is pretty
much the same for'each one, eI'
cept that neither OF the senators
is up for reelection
Most Of the Republicans went
right from Washington to the Re-
publican convention in Chicago, al
though Fred Crawford, of Saginaw,
and Bartel Jonkman, Of Grand
Rapids, do not expect to attend.
Then will come a period Of in
tense campaigning before the pri'
mary on July II, although Clare
Hoffman, OF Allegan, Albert Engei,
of Muskegon. William Blackney, OF
Flint. and Jesse Wolcott, OF Port
Huron, do not have primary oppo-
sition. If they survive the pri-
maries. then more speeches and
more seeing folks" before their
return to Washington.
Detroit Congressman who Will
be delegates at the Democratic
Convention in Chicago on July 10
are George G. Sadowski, George D..
OBrien, and John Dingell.
Most OF the Washington Offices OF
House members will be closed dur
Ing the recess. which means that
the over-worked STATS OF the con-
gressmen will have a vacation, even
though their bosses don't. A few
will 70 along and electioneer with
their bosses. as will Frederick
Reed with Albert Engel and Bill
Hackett with Fred Crawford.
One of the last things Congress
man George A. Dondero, of Royal
Oak, did before he left was to in
troduce a bill to provide vocational
training programs for occupation
al adjustments of veterans return
ing from military service. The bill
is broad enough to include work
erS QemODlllLeu from wal pIOuu'-
ton plants. Actually, the bill Is
an extension of the present pro-
gram for vocational education.
The Michigan Republican will have
a chance 10 follow through with
this proposal because the bill has
been referred to his own commit
tee on education.
One economy-prediction that
Blackney will make to his consti-
tuents is that Congress will con-
tinue to tighten-up on funds for the
operation OF some rs agencies now
financed by blank check" appro-
priations.
Already Congress has cracked
down on the rs by insisting on ap-
propriations direct from Congress.
which OF course allows Congress to
exercise financial supervision and
control.

only TO whatever extent II will bring
true justice TO the individual. The
star Of individual freedom should
never be eclipsed one inch by col
lectivism as our ideal.
Our success in this war was not
due to collectivism but 10 voluntary
democratic cooperation by all
hands. To whatever extent labor
sacrificed its right TO strike, it ex-
poets TO get that right back, and
so with all Of Us.
DEMOCRATIC COOPERATION
Interns tionslly we did not win By
conectivism either. but by truly
democratic cooperation. One nation
did not dominate the military de-
eisions Of how TO proceed with the
Sighting This democratic way is
working well against a nation which
practiced collectivism and preached
subservience Of the individual to the
state.
These are rudiments Of sim
pie common sense for peace. II
we wish TO dispel confusion and
plan our way, we must first de-
fine our words and understand
our goals. We must decide that,
internationally or domestically,
the star Of real liberty must be
maintained as indispensable.
We must abhor coliectivism as
an ideal, and compromise with 1t
reluctantly and temporarily only
to the extent truly necessary to
bring justice to the individual.
We must abhor oneness domino
ton, totalitarianism. dictatorship,
and remember always that an indi-
vidual enslaved to the state by any
means whatever will have no more
liberty and democracy than the fuc-
tuating goodness and justice Of that
controlling force.
Men do not take well that kind OF
power either as heads Of worlds or
Of any subdivisions Of society.
