Poll Of Opinion

With this issue, this paper institutes a
poll of opinion of the members and read
ers of the paper upon various subjects of
public interest.
II is the hope of the newspaper staff
that the response to the various questions
will be sufficiently large enough to be
able TO draw conclusions. For that reason,
every reader of this paper is urged TO fill
out the QUESTIONABLE ON page l and mail
il in with yes or no vote.
Results obtained by the Gallup poll in
past years upon number of political sub
jects and questions of great public inter-
est indicate that the poll can be of great
value in predicting the results of public
opinion upon a great variety of subjects
The UNION JOURNAL pledges its
readers that the results of all polls will be
given faithfully and without bias We
believe that the members of a union as
large as ours want to know how the group
reacts to various conditions and situations
which are of vital interest to the workers.
Labor is interested in all phases of
life, in education, science, social problems,
economic conditions, politics and every
other subject which touches the lives of
the public.
These interests will be dealt with in
future polls, the same as other newsnaners
conduct them.
Readers will not only want to know
how union members react to these ques-
tions, but will wish TO express their opin-
ion. Do not hesitate. Use the blank on
Page / and mail il in.
Your cooperation in this weeks poll of
opinion will be greatly appreciated.

Lobor ond Politics

Little Alf", the anonymous writer
who airs his sometimes bright remarks in
the morning newspaper on a great variety
of subjects, recently took occasion to criti-
cize the CIO for what the writer con-
ceived to be the CLOS political activity,
and expressed the view that the members
were more interested in getting raises than
they were in electing men to public office.
We would scarcely expect such naivete
from sheet which not only shows it has
log to roll; but which is constantly rolling
that log and slanting its unbiased" news
columns at the expense of labor to get
night meetings of city council, to advance
the candidacy of various political candi-
dates, and for many other equally altrustic
aims.
Little Alf", who might be named
Harold for all we know, has put his finger
on the entire situation and bears out bet
ter than dozen labor orators, the claim
that enlightened labor leaders have been
making for years, that labors interests,
and we mean economic interests, are in
separately bound up with labor success in
the political field.
Such frankness as that shown by the
writer in the morning paper should be
sufficient to convince most workers that
the paper is not interested in how much
wages they get, nor in anything else that
concerns them so much as it is in whom
they might vote for
Maybe Little Alf' would like to tell
us that the National Association of Manu-
facturers and the United States Chamber
of Commerce are merely groups of indus
trialists, business men and large security
owners who are only interested in attend
ing annual meetings to discuss their mu-
tual problems?
People who wear Overalls and get
themselves dirty would never suspect that
the NAM or Chamber of Commerce would
send lobbyists to our national and state
Legislatures TO put the heat on the repre-
sentatives when they want legislation
passed favorable to their economic inter
ests, or to defeat legislation that might
favor the workers.
And what is wrong with labor seeking
its economic advantage through the same
means used by the business people? Is il
bad when labor seeks to protect its eco
nomic interests or advance them through
political methods?
Our only regret is that labor has not
yet reached the point where its political
consciousness calls for the formation of
labor party which could become an effec-
tive political weapon. In the meantime,
for the benefit of Little Alf'' and his kind
the CIO, which really seeks to advance
the economic interests of the workers, is
up to its ears in politics and has every in
tention of staying there.

NOT WORRIED

We who are looking forward to the post
war and planning for full employment are not
particularly worried about the belief which
now seems to be prevalent that women hav-
ing become accustomed to earning their own
way and establishing greater measure of
economic independence than some of them have
ever known before, will be reluctant to return
to their own jobs or their homes.
1t is my personal belief that women
will still want to continue to be wives and
have children and raise families Moreover,
it is my conviction that if the male workers
can hold their organization, and believe they
will, that they will be able to earn sufficient
money to enable them to maintain home and
raise family in decency and security
When we went through the depression
years, women were just as hard hit as men.
There was little distinction between the sexes
on the economic scale. I am convinced that
there need be none in the postwar period for
those women who must work for their 80
living, or for those women who marry =
devote their lives to the work of raising GOT
children to whom we look for leadership in
the future.

Women have always shown
their willingness in times of
storm and stress to do their
part and make sacrifices for
the common good or to ad-
vance the common cause, and
it is not surprising to find
them doing all sorts of work
