There Ought TO Be a Low

If any new law is needed it is one to compel all societies, clubs.
couhclls, associations, foundations, institutions, and other such types of
organizations to operate out in the open and not behind a alias. AL
thou8h most Oh them do operate under their true colors, having nothing
10 conceal, there are far too many whose main adjective is % pull the
wool over the peoples eyes. Hardly a day passes in which the mail
never heard of before, asking for cooperation and assistance of a fin
anclaI nature, Tor the very special undertaking which that organization
has o unsefishly of course, undertaken.
In the olden days such a letter or press release would have honest
y identified the organization from which it came: today every effort
IS made to cook up a title a remotely connected with the organizations
u purpose as possible, and the more unattractve that purpose the
more attractive the title. Another thing we have noticed is that if the
organization is one engaged in spreading racial hatred Or religious
intolerance, you can be certain that some place in it's title you will
inc tn word American" or Democracy" II some equally patriotic
and misleading term, and if it happens to be a Communist outfit, you
will almost always find the name of Abraham Lincoln. Thomas Jeffer
son, II some other great American well known for his devotion to the
common people.
While we're on the subject, we would like to point out that the
Orys ar also VIGOROUSLY adept a. this alias business. For example
there's the so-caled American Business Mems Research Foundation up
IN Chicago, which, if honestly named, would be known simply as the
Dry propaganda and False Statistics Factory. Another alias the Drys
IKE TO hide behind is the word temperance, which can be found in
almost all of their organiZauonal titles, although temperance is some
thing they know nothing about, never having practced it. Incidentauy
the only ones who would really object to such a law IS We propose

alias or go out If busness-The Brewery Worker.

THE RIGHT TO STRIKE RETURNS

Now that the war is at a end the no-strike pledge, SO faithfully
honored by most Americas workers, is a dead issue. And so workers
all over the nation are striking.
There is reason for strikes. Prices have advanced despite the
pledge of or wartime president that the line would be held. Overtime
pay has stopped, with the result that the take-home pay of that large
number of people who worked in wa industries has been greatly
reduced. People need higher hourly rates now if they IT to be able
to pay the cost of ordinary living. r"
But an even stronger argument for higher wage rates is presented
by those people who take into consideration the effect of a shift from
private ndustry's biggest customer, as we'll IS it's banker. It a war
buying that made jobs. In the immediate future, however, it must be
private buying. a4 ISL
And unless the workers have the money to spend they will not be
able to buy Thereupon business will slump and unemployment will
come as a consequence of private industry's inability to sell what it is
capable of producing.
However, this is not written merely to justify labors demands
More important is the question
Why is it necessary for the workers of America to assume the
losses and inconvenience that are a part of every strike in order to
get what they want?
Ponder that quesdon-and remember that for more than IL years
who spoke often and persuasively about the rights of the common man
and the suspicion may develop that the workers of America have
not used their united power to the right end.
For many years we have been telling the workers of America Of
the need for a socialized economy. We have told how the private
ownership of the means of life divides people into classes.
