of this Nation Providence has pro-
vided an able and particularly fitted
man to handle each trial as it APP
preached. May we not feel that
Providence is now grooming a man
to handle the tremendous crisis
plainly visible just beyond the peace
that may not much longer be delay
ed? A world ferment comparable,
but much magnified, to that endur-
ed by the South in the decades fol-
lowing 1860. This new President
from old time forebears with the
virtues of thrift, knowing the value
of a dollar; the mental inheritance
of the common people, a manifest
desire to surround himself with able
c%ounselors and to seek advice; to
delegate responsibility; is likely to
surround himself with able men and
to call them in consultation when de
cisions must be made. Gradually
changes for the good of the Nation
will occur in the Cabinet. AS for the
War, the decisions have been made,
the military heads selected, NUM-
tons and requirements provided for,
the course set. The new President
has pledged steady prosecution to
unconditional surrender of the Axis
Powers, so that matter is fixed; the
Hun savage and the Jap rat are to
be smashed and as quickly as pos
sible. Likely troublesome questions
such as Poland and Spain and Italy
will be decided, as well as what to
do with Germany and the Jap's i'll
gotten gains. Almost the first utter
ance of the new President was a re-
quest for the prayers of the people
of the nation that he might be guild
ed Alright in his decisions. He shows
a humility to which we have become
unaccustomed, let is support him
Fundamentally in the very trying
times just ahead of him.

Current Comment
BY Henry Willis

The Heort of the Greut Precedent
Maker could stand no more and last
Thursday afternoon it ceased to
beat and Franklin d. Roosevelt pass
ed away in Warm Springs, Georgia.
Four times the people of the United
States gave him the highest honors
within their gift. Twelve years and
twelve weeks he served the Nation
rs chief executive, four and a quar-
ter years longer than any other man
has ever served. His History is writ,
its appraisal will reveal how great
he was.
A New Political Fro Comes in
with the succession of Vice-Presi-
dent Harry Truman to the Presi-
dency. Born and reared under on
ditions about as far from those OF
his predecessor as possible it is very
likely that he will bring to the Pres
idency a different point of view.
While the proceeding President was
the scion of an old and rich family
he trained himself to be the ablest
politician ever to occupy the White
House and Congress, and even the
Courts, followed his lead willingly.
His winning personality, charm Of
manner, skill in speech, radio voice,
combined toward making him un-
beatable once he was started. Mil
lions of us feel that we lost a warm
personal friend. Truman came up
the hard way, son of a small farm
er in Missouri, he learned to do all
Of the work about a farm-his moth
er boosted that he could pillow the
straighest furrow in the state-and
got such book learning as came to
him between times. Unsuccessful in
business he studied law, became a
member of the Pendergast DEM
-ocratic machine in Kansas City, a
superfine school in practical politics,
held some minor offices and was
sent to the United States Senate
from Missouri. He showed much
ability, was able to hold his WI in
that august body, secured and held
the respect Of his colleagues, thus
paving the way to the Vice-Presi-
dency.
With AL Humility We Are Not
Justified in thinking that Providence
has suddenly deserted us in a crisis
and left us to shift for ourselves as
best we may among the wolves Of
the world. Throughout the history

in channeling the reduced quota to
persons whose needs are regarded
as most essential to the war effort.
Local Boards have very little option
in making allotment. They very
much wish every tire applied for
might be at once handed owe but
mandatory instructions do not per-
init even if they did there are not
tires enough at local disposal to COW
er more than a small fraction of the
needs. That is why they insist on
careful use, sufficient air pressure,
frequent inspection, recapping while
it is still feasible. Inspection must
show care has been taken. No use
to fall out with the Board, they
have not the tires. Fall out with the
Japs, they kicked us loose from our
rubber supplies. Gas or tires used
in pleasure driving is Cor are) not
~replaceable.
Controls . Rotioning. Prices. Wog-
es-cannot be relaxed as soon as the
war ends. We remember too well
what happened at the close of the
last war. Prices jumped, there was
an orgy of speculation, everything
kited to ruinous heights. We paid
30c a pound for sugar, $500 for
shoes, $4,000 and acre for farm
land. Piling up of profits went on
until there was a buyers strike,
people simply refused to buy at the
inflated prices, business stopped,
there was a minor panic in the early
l920's. This time the Government
will have to maintain control until
the danger is past. That ruinous in
flation must not be allowed again.
Then the Nation owed $50 billion,
now it will be $500 billions and we
can't afford any more leaf raking.
There is one way all bills can be
~paid-print money and make it le-
gal tender, thus everybody al be
broke and a man with real property
would have it taken away by taxes.
Want that?

The American WAY
BY Maurice r. Franks

Editors Note: Maurice r. Franks
is National Business Agent of the
Railroad Yardmasters of North Am
erica, Inc, and Editor of that
Unions official publication, the
Railroad Workers Journal.)
The big cry of the working man
has been for his right to organize
and bargain collectively through
representatives of his own choosing.
This cry was heard by many poll
teal ffice-holders over a period OF
several generations, but yet, it has
only been in the last decade that it
has become recognized by law, and
the ~citizenry as a whole, that work.
ers do have the right to collective
bargaining.
Many business men, who just a
few years ago hated the word uni
on" have, through c~ontractual rela-
tons with them, come to the realiza-
ton that unionism is not just some
thing out of Hades. They realize the
fact that when unions are properly
operated, they can be beneficial, not
only to their workers, but to the en-
ployers as well.
In order for the workers fully to
enjoy the fruits of their great vic
tory, the recognition of their right
by law to bargain with their en-
ployers, they must encourage every
idea lending itself towards this at
tainment. In line with this sugges-
ton, it may be a good idea for some
of our labor leaders to look up the
definition of the word bargain" and
they will find it means (1) An a.
greement between parties to a trans
action, settling what each shall give
and receive; a contract regarding
terms of sale and purchase; as to
make a bargain. (2) Such an agree
ment viewed in its results as; He
made a bad bargain; or the agree
ment was advantageous.
Examination of many contracts on
collective bargaining makes one
wonder just where the bargain"
comes in. Many of these documents
practically tell the employer that,
for the consideration of being allow
ed the use of so many workers, on
conditions not always in accord with
good business acumen, he will be
allowed to operate his business. In
other words, through this condition
of unionism, a monopoly is created
whereby the customer of unionism,
the employer, must pay the "mon-
opolist" any price quoted, and under
any condition. This practice certain
ly cannot be in accord with the in
tent Of the law covering collective
bargaining. Until unions come for
ward with a plan within the mean
ing Of the word bargain, they will
never be accepted or respected as a
necessary part Of the American way
of life.
The only actual difference, today,
between the average union worker
and non-union worker is a member
ship card, and it costs more to hire
a union worker. Little has been done
to make the union worker stand out
as a better craftsman than the non
union worker, as for instance: The
bricklayer who is capable of, and
willing to. lay 1900 bricks per day
is forced down to the level of the
The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1945-04-19

man who can, or is willing to lay
only 600 bricks. This condition alb
solutely discourages incentive be-
cause: Why should a bricklayer cap
able of, and willing to, lay 1900
bricks, give full performance when
he can only receive the same COM
~pensation as his fellow craftsman,
who is not able or willing to do a
full days work?
AS industry is progressing today,
it is only a matter of time until the
skilled worker will become a thing
of the past. Through present
system of unionism, incentive is
definitely being curbed. 1t is recog-
nized by students of human nature,
that all men are not created equal
from the standpoint of ability. Some
are endowed with abilities far SUI
perior to their fellow workers. This
being the case, why should unions
be the means of retarding progress,
which, in the final analysis will
boomerang!
Unions must realize that their
longevity is entirely dependent up
on the success of capitalistic enter
prise. When this is more fully under
stood, unions will cooperate with
management and look upon the in
d%ustrialist as a partner in industry.
No partnership ever was successful,
void of, a condition of trust and CO.
operation.
The main reason why many labor
unions today are not being whole
heartedly accepted by the employ
ers, is simply because they lack that
