8. T. w. ~
Answer-Because of the grisly
humor of some long-forgotten news
paperman who compared the files
to the morgue of q municipality.
But the real surprise is that the
French word morgue, from which
the English word comes, has the
primary meaning Of "a naughty and
contemptuous countenance." So far,
I haven't found an explanation for
the strange transition in meaning;

Washington ('PD-CannerieS should

The bureaus survey revealed that

THEY WANT THEIR GRAVY

'WAY BACK in the depression the federal gov
w ernmcnt rescued lending agencies from ruin
by setting up the Home Owners Loan Corporation
and taking off their hands millions of dollars in
mortgages in default because of unpaid interest.
And now the financial wizards who were gasp
ing for breath in the '3OS want to abolish the
Hole and get those securities back, so they can
collect the interest which is now being paid
The Hole is one of those agencies which has
returned a profit to the federal government, and
anyone knows that amt right. If there is any
money to be made it belongs to our private finan-
cial wizards. They were glad to have the govern
ment step in and relieve them of a heavy burden,
but now that the crisis is past they want their
gravy.
Director John H. Fahey say "They seem to
believe that the only purpose of the HOLC was to
bail them out Of their poor mortgages, enabling
them to put the cash received into good loans, and
then take back their relinquished mortgages after
the government had spent millions making them
safe. They seek easy profits regardless of the
public interests"
And that children, is a lesson in how to have
q big income without risk or work.

ARTICLES OF FAITH

NINE TIMES out of ten, an appeal for cOntrlbu-
~ tions TO a humanitarian cause like the Red
Cross consists of practical arguments, and practl-
Cal arguments alone. Your pledge will buy so
many surgical dressings, you are told, or so many
packages of food for prisoners OF war. And OF
course this is important, and of course you want
to know But you want to know well the
theological basis for the work that is being done,
and this point is much less emphasized than 1T
should be.
Last week the Labor League for Human
Rights official relief arm of the AFL, in radio
program dedicated to the American Red Cross
and starring Raymond Massey, quoted from the
articles Of faith adopted by one branch of the Red
Cross Here is that profoundly moving credo one
which any organization or any American -
should be proud to aVoW !
eve believe that strength was given to us to
succOr and to shield the weak =. to tighten the
burden of the sick at heart. We believe that all
children of this earth are brothers, and we shall
not recognize any barriers of race color, class or
creed, to set them apart, one from the other. We
believe that kindness and mercy and understand
ing will grow must grow . that this planet
may be a place for our children and their chill
dren's children, to live in peace and security. We
believe that as each one Of us has share in the
America we know and hope to shape, so each Of us
now must strive to save, those simple human
values which give dignity to man, and to life its
meaning.

A CHILDISH AND DANGEROUS
PERFORMANCE

|RECENTLY a couple of youthful, impulsve wal
veterans who just returned from Italy, visited
the office of John L. Lewis United Mine Workers
Ichleftain, to voice their resentment against the
|recent strikes in the coal mines. Daily newspapers
report that one of the boys boasted that he hit
Lewis in the left eye "as present from the
soldiers in Africa"
That was pretty shabby juvenile perform
ance of which right-thinking soldiers of this war,
and ex-soidiers of the first World War, who
fought for this country even before those two
boys wore diapers, are ashamed.
If military service should make one lasting
imprint in the minds of the man who honorably
wears the uniform of his country it is that he is
fighting for law and order that he must respect
the property and person of all fellow citizens,
even those with whome he vehemently dissents
and dislikes.
1t does not require great deal of courage for
a 2O-year-Old youth to strike a 65-year-old man in
the eye. While the method John L. Lewis used
to obtain wage increase for his coal miners was
arbitrary, and, in times of great peril to our
country while at war, was resented by all right
thinking union men, it must also be remembered
that Lewis had some very provocative grievances
and that the coal miners very much under
paid for their hard and perilous work. Not merely
Lewis, but the mine owners, the various govern
ment agencies, and President Roosevelt also were
at fault. If good will and good sense had charac-
terized the negotiations, everything could have
been settled amicably and decently without the
miners having to take extreme strike measures,
which in times of war is almost crime to get
well-deserved pay adjustments.
The rowdy and strong arm methods resorted
to by these two youths is an indication that anti
labor propaganda is doing it's insidious work
among our fighting men. If it is carried over into
the postwar era, we can expect revival OF
vigianteeism and mob violence in which deceived
and misguided veterans organizations will serve
as the stoodges and tools of pressure groups to
harass labor and to brow-beat and destroy those
who refuse to kowtow to fats of these self-ap-
pointed guardians of Americanism.

PROPAGANDA FROM HOME

OUR BOYS in the armed forces are concerned
" about things here at home, if we are to be-
lieve our daily newspapers, and they don't like so
many strikes. Labor here displeases them by try
ing to maintain good wages and working condl-
tons, again if we believe what we read in the
daily papers.
A Washington boy, veteran of Bougainville,
Guadalcanal, and Russell Island, is home on a
fulough, and a local paper printed a very inter
esting interview by this Marine veteran
He says the boys want to vote, and from the
stories they read they could believe that 'half the
country is on strike, with no food, no gas, no
nothing" And he adds
From what we had heard over there you'd
think the administration had ruined the country.
But we know better than to believe all those
garbIed stories about how the country is being
run to the dogs"
SO, it appears from the views of this soldier,
that, while the propaganda of the anti-abor anti
Roosevelt experts make a big splash in the daily
papers here at home, the boys on the fighting
fronts take it with several grains of salt.
However, our big, powerful corporations have
plenty of money to spend, and the propaganda
boys are trying to earn their salaries by writing
what they think the bosses want them to write.

EVENTS

Organized labor. so far, has wealth
cred several vicious attacks by its
enemies, the worst of them having
anonymous authors and propagated
by unfriendly newspapers. Even now
hundreds of small newspapers are still
printing absolute falSehoOdS about
union labor's part in the war effort.
All this could he counteracted by a
would reach every member of or
ganized labor and be handed around
to citizens not affiliated and talked
about by our brothers. a national
daily could entirely offset the constant
minute-by-minute propa ganda of anti
labor daily papers and the radio.
A national labor daily paper, how
ever, is probably far in the future. 1t
is one of those things which just
doesn't seem possible just now lnSur-
mountable obstacles Immediately APP
pear which effectively block justice as
far as labor is concerned.
However, it does appear possible
that organized labor could do Il couple
of things to protect the interests of
working men and women. 1t would be
comparatively inexpensive to set up in
Washington a publicity bureau to
function in getting the voices of lib
eral members Of Congress to their con-
sti and to tho n,lbli,
\ small sum of money which could
be easily spared from the treasures
of some of the larger unions would
suffice to maintain a research bureau
to equip labor and liberal Spokesmen
in Congress and State Legislatures
demolish SpeciouS arguments and eN-
pose phony statistics of reactionary
representatives of big business de
signed to hoodwink and misead the
public.
The recent dissent of the labor
members of the Presidents Cost of
Living Committee is an example of
the need for more publicity for labor's
and consumers angle of national
news.
It's dream perhaps; but still it is
something you can think about. And
you are out on Il limb until you get it.
In Los Angeles an AFL policemen's
union has just about got the town by
the ears. 1t is being strenuOusly Op-
posed by city officials. in spite of the
fact that its constitution prohibits
strikes for any reason.
Fire fighters, teachers postal work
erS, and even lawyers and doctors un-
queStionably have the right to or
ganize themselves into unions. Indeed,
in many states the lawyers have Il
closed shop by state laws. All attor-
news must be members of these bar
associations, and in some states they
even pay their dues To county clerks.
1t is not Il checkoif, but they pay or
else
But the idea of Il pOlicemcn'S uuion
seems to get in the hair of Los An
geleS officials, probably because of the
strike which made Calvin Coolidge
famous in Boston - years ago. Mem

Let us for brief spell consider the
case of one Lombardo Toledano, who
goes rip roaring over the hemisphere
building Il machine for himself.
We may we'll wonder how long this
gazabo is going to get away with ii.
LombardO Toledano, intellectual ad-
venturer back Il few years, during the
presidency of Lazaro Cardenas, was
professor at the University in Mexico
City.
Then he bloSSomed into the GROIN.
Then, to cement himself tight with
CardenaS. he started Il rival or@anlZa-
tion and started to go places. NIM
was his ticket. and u right smart
ticket he made out of it.
Then Mr.. Toledano organized the
Latin American Federation of Labor.
That means all of the nations in this
hemisphere except the United States
and Canada.
Lombardo ToIedano has Il nice house
in Mexico City and he is a follower of
the Communist party line.
Our State Department seems to
have put no blocks in his way. There
is Il temptation to wonder what in
blaZes is the matter with our State
Department.
--Toledano has Il meeting coming off
right soon now and his agent sent to
Washington To build prestige did n
pretty good job, pulling Il fast one on
Mr.. Hulrs boys.
Mr.. Rockefeller didn't fall for To-
edano this time
AS Il matter of fact Il very sloppy
Job. on the whole, has been done in
trying to stop Toledano, even though
Mr.. Rockefeller has given him a
somewhat chilly shoulder.
Toledano is playing game that
isn't helping the United Nations.
While John J.. Lewis headed CIO
Toledano played with him and vice
versa, more to Toledano'S benefit than
Lewis, as far as we know.
There is great deal TO be desired
about our handling OF Pan-American
relations. There are many items in
the agenIa. But the Toledano item is
one that hits most sharply at labor
and it is one that could have been
blunted long ago-but wasn't.
In forming his Latin Federation of
Labor Toledano started Il movement to
split the Latin nations of this hemis-
phere from the English speaking ma
