To Outlaw
Dies Methods

WASHINGTON, d. C.-(LPA)
- The Nazi-like investigating
methods and character-smear-
ing technique of Martin Dies
will never again put Congress
to shame if legislation intro
duced by Rep. Frank Hook 3D.
Mich.) is adopted.
Hooks bill would give wit
nesses and individuals accused
by witnesses protection against
vilification, defamation a n d
false accusations. A person de-
famed or adversely criticized
would be given the right under
the proposed legislation ito tes-
tify in person concerning such
adverse comment in a public
hearing to be conducted by the
committee.
The Dies technique of making
one-man reports would be pro-
hibited by a section of the new
law which would prevent any
committee from publishing OF
filing a report until it has been
approved by the majority of the
committee. Finally no report re-
flecting on any individual, group
or government agency could be
published or filed unless the ac-
cused had an opportunity to pre-
sent a sworn written denial, de-
fense or explanation.

Women Expected
To Stay On Jobs

WASHINGTON, April II -
(LPA)-The Census Bureau ex-
poets that women workers will
number about as many in 1880
as in 1914, according to its re-
port last week which indicates
that not so many women will
leave their jobs after the war as
has been thought.
OF the approximately 18,000,-
900 employed last year, the
Census Bureau says, Withdraw
ais are likely to be particularly
heavy among the wives of re-
turning Servicemen.
Many women who never
worked until the warmed
brought them into the labor
market will prefer to remain
there, the report indicates, but
generally high employment
level, which would permit the
men to hold well-paying jobs,
would send the women back into
their homes.

of all concerned. OF these. one
being a wage dispute of a

May we say here that we can
not accept all of the fish stories
from hearSay. We must have
proof. A mass of fresh caught
fish will do. From latest reports,
there are still a lot of fish to be
caught.

itics?
We do not belong to any
political party, we only try to
elect those who believe in and
will support our beliefs on the
best things for labor whether it
is National, State or City, or
County. We do not tell you
how to vote, but only ask you
to support those who are willing
to help us.
Have you signed the P. r. Re-
call Petition yet? To be eligible
you must be 81 years old, live
within the city limits and be
registered. One of the reasons we
would like to win is ''To be able
to elect more than one Tom
Burke on the City Council" Be
a good citizen and Union MEM
ber and remove that political
blight from our city elections.
There is only one person out of
twenty-five w h understands
how these votes are counted. If
you have not signed please ask
your Steward for a petition and
take it out in your neighborhood
and ask your neighbors TO sign.
