THE UNION label

TT WOULD be a wonderful thing if union wages
were spent in buying union made goods ane
services. When one thinks of the vast amount OF
buying which is done with union wages it pre-
sents great possibilities for organization II only
a fair percentage was diverted to buying union
made goods
One often hears the statement that the reason
union made goods are not bought by union people
is because there are so few union label goods. 1t Is
true but the reason for that is that there is little
or no demand The fact is that when one is buying
they are also employing If they buy union, they
are employing union. And when they buy non
Mon they are employing non-union workers with
good trade union wages. Actually they are dong
all that they condemn the non-union employer foI
doing The lady who spends the money OF the
union man in purchasing union products Wields
more influence than her hubby on strike. The
striker can lose out and another take his place,
but there is no substitute for the union label
IT is a regrettable fact that there are many
localities today where finds, for instance, the
barber shops and restaurants operating on non
union basis with rotten wages and poor condl-
tions. 1t is the people who patronize them who
have to accept the responsibility 1t is about time
we started campaign to build up the label trades,
A more consistent demand for union label goods
and services is long overdue, so let's get going.

NOTICE RECORDING SECRETARIES

IT Is very important that the directory OF Local
Unions published each week in the Potters
Herald contain the following information:
The correct initials, name and address OF the
Recording Secretary.
The correct address of their residence.
The correct address of the meeting place OF
your local union.
The correct meeting nights of your local union.
At any time the meeting place, meeting nights
or any change is made in this respective office OF
your local union, the editor of the Potters Herald
should be Immediately notified and send him the
correct meeting place, meeting nights, name and
address OF the respective officer.
1t is important that the directory be kept up
to-date and correct, not only for the benefit OF
National Headquarters but also for our Vice
Presidents and Organizers, as many times Organ
izers have found that the local union does not
meet on the meeting night listed in the Potters
Herald, and therefore they sometimes go to a city
to attend meeting only to find no meeting is to
be held on the night as listed in the directory.

RACIAL HATREDS AND LIBERTY
DEADLY FOES

T'TIE VERY forces which promote racial and
: religious hatreds are destructive to freedom
and democracy. Intolerance and liberty cannot
i've side by side within any nation or within our
world. They are deadly enemies We know now
hat Hitler's way of death is the supreme threat
20 the American way Of life. By the same token
we accept the fact that the existence and spread
Of racial and religious hatreds within our own
country are likewise dangerous to American
democracy.
Today we are engaged in gobal war for the
survival Of that democracy. Yet occasionally we
hear Americans, whose sons are risking their
lives against the enemy overseas give aid and
comfort to the enemy by voicing hate and dis
Of racial and religious groups in their
own communities. Anyone who does this is be-
traying his own blood and his own-humanity.
Fortunately most Americans have learned the
pitfalls into which intolerance leads
the unwary. This war has given us a much needed
education in our own basic theology and it has
opened our eyes to the false precepts Of the Nazi
creed. / am proud of the fact that organized labor
has contributed extensively to this educational
process.

BOOkBINDERS UNION ASSAILS
POSTAL BAN ON ESQUIRE

Kansas City, Mo. (ILNS)-The 23rd
convention of the International Bro
therhoOd of BOOkbinders condemned
what it asserted was the unfair and
unconstitutional action" by Postmaster
General Walker in banning the maga
zine Esquire from the mails.
A copy of the resolution, in which it
was declared that free speech is in
jeopardy" if the courts sustain the de-
cision, was ordered sent to President
Roosevelt, members of Congress and
the Postmaster General
The resolution expressed the fear
that "an untold number of printing
trades workers" might be deprived of
job opportunities if the Postmaster
General were given authority of sus-
pending "all publications not sutng
his personal or political pleasure"

DEFECTS In AMERICAN SYSTEM
SEEN ENCOURAGING FASCISM

Gary, Ind. ULNS)-NOrman Thomas,
Socialist candidate for President,
warned here against rise of Fascism
because of defects in the American
economic and political system.
Thomas, speaking at a Socialist
rally, asserted that the platform of
both jor parties presented no pos
siblity of solving the real issue faced
by this country. He cited the simil-
arities between Republican and Demo-
cratic platforms on peace, and said
that the people would have no chance
to participate in the postwar world
Actually" said Thomas, lit is
doubtful if the American people, in
spite of the election, will have much
more TO say directly about the peace
and the postwar world organization
than the people of Russia or even
China.
Thomas added that other undemo-
cratic features in American life were
the method of electing Presidents
through electoral college rather than
through direct vote; the poll tax;
and the cumbersome deadlocks between
committees and govern
ment agencies.
He advocated formation of q party
similar to the Canadian Cooperative
Commonwealth Federation, VIII C h
would act as a vehicle for the interests
of democratic action for the mass of
American people.

OVERSTATEMENT WINS NO WARS

THE NEWSHOUNDS in the war area must do
their bit. In their enthusiasm to show the
progress of American arms they often overstate
the facts A case in point is the news which came
over the radio last week The commentator was
describing the great speed with which the Ameri-
can tanks advanced. He was doing an ALFRED
good Job, until he put in the following sentence:
American tanks have stopped only to refuel
or TO repenish ammunition after having travelled
miles WITHOUT FIRING A SINGLE SHOT"
We can understand the necessity of refueling,
but why was it necessary to repenish ammunition
when not a single shot was fired?
If everything is going along at such rapid
rate over-statement and eXaggeration are not
needed They will win no wars The home front
does not need to have its morale built up by such
Just at present it may prove bad for
the people on this side Of the pond to have their
optimism pumped up to the bursting point

BEST INSURANCE in THE WORLD

I TNCLE SAM is running the largest life insur-
ance company in the world Policies carried
by men and women who have had a hand in this
war total $117,670,0 100000. Veterans of the first
World War have an additional 81, 900, 100000.
Total insurance carried by all private COM
panieS is about $40 000, 100000 Before this war
is over, Uncle Sam may exceed that figure.
The average of all policies for this war is above
$4,000, and the cost is from 64 cents monthly per
$1,000 for an l8-year-old boy to $945 monthly
for a man Of rs.
Those rates are extremely low, but the govern
ment will probably come out more than even. 1t
mad to go into the insurance business because
private companies Didn't consider a soldier in
active service good risk.
This government insurance is the best in the
world. Every service man and woman should
hold on to it.

WHAT WE'RE VOTING FOR

A S WE VOTE, so shall we live. For by our votes
we directly influence the kind of homes we live
in the food, education and fun our kids get, and
their opportunity for developing and using their
abilities.
On election day, the people of the United
States choose the local. state and national govern
ment officials who will make and carry out the
laws that shape our lives. The government today
regulates wages and farm prices, runs schools and
hospitals builds roads and dams and airports,
levies taxes, makes provision for the unemployed,
the aged, the needy, and, directly or indirectly,
determines how many job openings there are.
The Lawmakers and executive officials set the
framework within which business, unions, and
other groups carry on from day to day. In world
affairs, the actions of the government decide
whether our children will die in World War III.
All citizens are free to vote as they wish, but
they have definite responsibility to register and
to use their ballot wisely. BY joining with others
with similar goals, they can make their influenced
felt both in the selection and final choice of candi-
dates

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

A recent study by the American Labor
Conference on International Affairs
comes to the conclusion that a system
of far-reaching social and economic
reforms, revolutionary in their final
elects, achieyed by democratic methods,
will be the aim Of the European
masses, after Germany's defeat.
Sweeping social, political and eco
nomic reforms visualized for postwar
Holland by representatives of both con-
seryative and leftist underground
groups now in the occupied homeland
seem to bear out this prediction, in
part at least. The nature of these re-
forms was outlined in a joint mani
festo issued by the conservative news
paper Vrij Nederland and the Socialist
publication Het Parool.
The manifesto calls for the continu
alton of parliamentary democratic
state with Queen Wilhelmina as its
recognized head, and for unconditional
obedience to the authority of her re-
turning government. The democratic
principles inherent in the Dutch gov
ernmental system, are to be extended
to the social and cultural field. This
will call for representatives of workers
and consumers in industrial man
agerial affairs. National and interna-
tional governmental participation in
the productive processes is also a goal
of the manifesto writer's. They believe
that such participation will minimize
the frequency and shock of economic
crises and depressions.
Along with a liberal extension of
social security, such as old age pen
sions, aid in times of sickness, equal
opportunities for those
qualified, the manifesto declared that
the ''state is required to participate
more actively in the development of
the nations spiritual and artistic
talents; it's arts and sciences and the
of its cultural inherit
ance."
Freedom of press is demanded. There
is also the stipulation that papers
which continued publication under
German occupation and thus served
the enemy, be banned. The ban is to
be followed by the removal of editorial
and managerial undesirable ele-
ments."
All traitors and indisputable col
are to be immediately |
and severely punished, but .'undis-
,iplined and illegal manifestations of |
popular rage, such as the 'hatchet day |
measures proposed by some elements |
ire to be rejected
The tradition of bank secret Dutch |
practice against revealing details of

o aid in the tracking downeof Nazi
oOt. Along with this demand was one
lrging the confscation of war pro-
iteers' capital. The manifesto also
.alled for the speedy repatriation of
leported Jews and the abolition of
DEGREES.
The document concluded with the
wO-fold demand that a. Immediately
fter the liberation 1.-The peoples repre-
entation must be regulated by reOr
,anization which will give those who
ave fought in the underground army
he representation due them until
lections are held; (2) human equal

IL discrimination on the ground of
eligion, race or class is to be re-
ected."
