How PAC Raises Funds
New York Times


In the old re-unionized days the boss would oc-
casionally recommend his workers that they vote
for his candidate. There coercion or threat,
YOU understand, but the worker usually made to
feel that his job would be safer and his promotion
more likely if his political opinions turned out to be
the those of the boss.
How completely the shoe is on the other
foot in many cases is neatly illustrated by the ad-
mission of the Amagamated Clothing Workers of
America that at recent meetings called to consider
changes their union agreements with two employer
groups they solicited these groups for financial con-
ributions to the Citizens Political Action Committee
This latter organization is offshoot of the Com
mittee for Political Action of the CO. and, ike 1t,
is headed by Sidney Hman president of the Anal
gamated The PAC has made secret of the fact
that its funds to be used to help re-eect President
Roosevelt and Senator Wagner.
1t need hardly be pointed out that this manner
of soliciting funds does not show the most delicate
sense of propriety We assured that no open
threats were made that the contributions solicited
were to be purely voluntary" and so on. But the
negotiating employers could hardly be blamed for
feeling if they refused to make their contrlbu-
tons their collective bargaining agreement might not
be as favorable as otherwise and that their future
labor relations might not be smooth The Ad-
mnistration through the National Labor Relations
Board has been encouraging and sponsoring the
organization of unions Through the War Labor Board
it has been building up union membership by the
maintenance of membership provisions forced upon
EMPLOYERS The use of unions, in turn, to put pres
s,re ON EMPLOYERS to contribute to the continuance
If the Administration in office would be converting
organizations ostensiby developed for the economic
protection of the individual worker into parts OF a

How tough the problem of peace

In Philadelphia alone, a total OF

Along with the butchers, the

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not cOm,peW
WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 6

Benefic aspects rule strongly after
morning hours in which adverse
planetary influences are active. The
late evening is a time for caution.
HEART AND HOME: Under this
CONFORMATION the head of the fam
lily should benefit. Better financial
returns for work may be obtained
by firm demands. This is a for
tunate sway for aged members of
the family and for planning proper
education of children who must be
fitted for new order of American
life.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: The out
look for labor is promising at this
time, when the stars presage some
thing like a partnership between
employers and employees. Prosper
ity is forecast for the Winter when
war will drain private resources
even as they increase.
NATIONAL ISSUES: According
to the stars, thousands of women
now in industry will choose to con-
tinue as wage earners after the war
The trend toward financial indie
pendence of wives will be strong
Marriage will be a business as well
as domestic partnership
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS s.:
Normandy, the battle-ground that
proved the power of United Nations
forces, is to be of great benefit in
the restoration of France There
may be a critical situation some
time in 1916 but the future is most
promising.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury Of a year of pro-
fessional and financial advance
ment but domestic separations due
to war are presaged
Children born on this day prob
ably will be fortunate all through
their lives. Eventful careers are
