FIRST THINGS, FIRST!

&C. C. Coulter, in The Retail Clerk
The time has come, then, when la
Dor and management must stand
shoulder to shoulder in the firm deter
mination to remain as united for peace
as they have in war. United in their
demand that security no longer mean
"many things to many men,, but that
it means justice in all things to all
men. Let those who would have it
otherwise realize now, that security
for some at the expense of justice to
the many will in the end, result in
security for none
The Retail Clerks international Pro-
tective Association, an affiliate Of the
American Federation of Labor, is
ready to take it's stand along with
management at the starting line of
what must be new, greater and
better era Of American enterprise in
which there must be security for ALL
We propose to travel this new road
with management in harmony and CO.
operation and we hold no fears for
the future or of what lies ahead. For
we take added courage in the know
ledge that our strength continues to
grow through an ever-increasing men,
bership among the retail sales-people
who know that the cause for which
we fight, is theirs. And, they know
that we are winning the fight!
To management we say: There will
be mistakes, dissatisfaction, differ
ences of opinion and perhaps disap-
pointments; but let us both firmly
resolve that they shall be honest ones
and that each Of US will hew to the
line of that which is just in all things.
Let us enter this new era of American
enterprise together, in a new faith
in harmony and cooperation!
Above all else, let us keep that faith
by doing the right thing, the first
things, first!

Disabled Workers Job
Opportunities Helped By
Growing Enactment OF
Second Injury Fund

Washington, D. C. ILNS) Postwar
job opportunities for disabled veterans
and war workers are aided by the en-
actment in 8 state legislatures so far
this year of second injury fund bills
to overcome the reluctance of many
employers to hire handicapped work
ers lest they suffer second injuries,
become permanently and totally dis
abled and cost employers increased
workmen's compensation charges, Sec
retary of Labor Frances Perkins re-
ported
This action brings to % the number
of states which have such provisions,
many enacted in recent years. The
District of Columbia, Hawaii, and the
U. S. Longshoremen's Act also have
second injury funds.
''The legislatures in Arizona, Colo
RADIO, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Oregon,
Tennessee, Washington, and Wyoming
are to be especially commended for
bringing their states in line with a
growing movement all over the coun-
try to facilitate in every possible way
the employment of handicapped vete-
rams and workers." Miss Perkins said.
Similar measures are pending in
California, Connecticut, and Pennsyl-
vania legislatures now meeting and it
is to be hoped they will also follow
the recommendation of experienced
state labor administrators and trade
union officials who know the value
of such funds"
In general, these laws require en-
ployers to pay workmen's compensa-
tion only for specific second injuries.
The fund pays the additional costs of
permanent total disability resulting
from the loss of hand, arm, foot,
leg, or eye, following a previous loss
of one of these members or organs.
The fund is usually financed by pay
ments of fixed amounts by an employ
er or his insurance company in the
case of death of an employee having
no dependents Freed from the fear
of heavy permanent total disability
charges in these cases, employers are
much more willing to employ handi-
capped workers, Secretary Perkins
said.
The cost of maintaining second
injury funds is small for recent
studies show handicapped work
ers are actually more careful than
normal employees and have lower
accident frequency.
States which established second in
jury funds previous to 1945 include:
Arkansas, Idaho, Illinois, Maine, Mass
achusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mis-
souri,, New Jersey, New York, North
Carolina, Oklahoma, Rhode Island,
South Carolina, Utah, Wisconsin.
North Dakota, Ohio, and West Vir-
ginia have equivalent arrangements.

KNOW YOUR RENT
Limitation on EvictiOns of Workers
Under OPA Rent Control

Tenants in areas under OPA rent
control, are protected by OPA against
unwarranted eviction.
Many tenants who have been un-
aware of their rights have been evict-
ed illegally. In addition, the threat
of eviction has been used:
a. to compel worker-tenants to pay
overceiling rentals; and
(2) to force worker-tenants to pur-
chase their housing accommodations at
inflationary prices.
The OPA Labor Office urges that
tenants, in order to safeguard them
selves against illegal eviction, do these
things:-
G) Always consult the OPA Rent
Office when informed by the landlord
that he intends to evict you. He is
required by OPA to give you written
notice;
(2) Find out from the OPA Rent
Office what your legal rent is. You
cannot be evicted for refusing to pay
more than the OPA maximum legal
rent.
Remember These Facts:-
(D You do not have to move until
a court order is issued. The written
notice given to you by your landlord
or even the OPA eviction form is not
court order;
(2) You cannot be evicted when
your lease expires unless you refuse
to renew it on the same terms for
the same length of time However,
you do not have to sign for longer
than one year.

Christmas Shoppers Stare AS Horse
Drawn Covered Wagon Plods Thru Town


For three months the Bolsters
have. been on the road. During that
time they have Travelled from Lead
vile, Colo. They are enroute to
New York state where they have
bought farm near Albany. An
indication of the rate of their prog
ress is the fact that they spent Fri
day night near the State Highway
patrol headquarters north of Lima,
and it was midafternoon on Satur-
day they reached Bluffton.
The wagon is heated by small
coal burning stove with the stove
pipe sticking thru the canvas top.
When the Rolsters reach their farm
they expect to convert the vehicle
into hay wagon.
The Bolsters are natives of New
York state, and 26 years ago the
elder Bolster and his son made a
similar trip from Albany to Port
land, Oregon. They made their ex-
penses enroute by cleaning chimneys,
sharpening lawn mowers and scis-
sors, and doing odd Jobs.

Covered wagons Of the 49'ers were
brought to mind last Saturday after
noon when a horse-drawn, canvas
topped house wagon moving slowly
thru Buttons business section
brought a halt TO the Christmas
shopping rush of incredulous on
lockers.
1t was an almost unbelievable
sight in this age of mechanical con-
veyances-the crealing wagon home
drawn by three horses, with spare
trudging along behind-and the
conveyance disrupted the busy Sat
urday afternoon rush as it followed
its leisurely route down Main street.
Chalked on the back of the cam
vas topped vehicle were the words
World War ii Veteran On His
Way Home"
Occupants of the crude conveyance
were 70-year-old Clark Bolster; his
son Leonard Bolster, SO, veteran of
the war, and the sons wife, Effie

How YOU con Avoid
Danger Of DENTURE BREATH
DLAY SAFE! Soak your plate in
L Polident. Brushing with makeshift
cleansers may scratch plate material.
Such scratches make food particles
and film collect faster, cling tighter,
causing DENTURE BREATH.
Besides, plate material is so times
softer than natural teeth. Brushing with
ordinary cleansers often wears down
fitting ridges, can cause loose plates.
There's no brushing, so no danger
with Polident. Millions keep den.

easy way. So play safe. Daily Polident

CAN you tell us why at times, V-mail letters

DOLORES SPERRY
Milwaukee, Wis
Authorities say the main reasons are:
l. In some theaters, there are no facilities
for processing because the Army moves SO
fast the service divisions cannot keep up with
them.
2. In some areas, there might be a mail
plane leaving and therefore it would be
quicker to send the letter that day rather
than hold it up for processing.
