same tyranny

IN THIS sense, Mr.. De Mile is rem
dering ARA a real service by
opposing and condemning a course
which in the end will lead to public
suspicion and distrust in the motives
and methods of organized labor.
AS he points out, any agency or
organization which in bid for power
interferes with the doctrine on which
this nation is based, free election and
free will, has taken the first step
toward its own dissolution.
No one doubts or denies the legiti-
mate and just detectives of labor.
But those legitimate ends do not
include the power to dictate to
citizen whom he shall support or vote
for, nor the power to enforce the
order by abolishing the citizens
right to earn his bread.
That is the inescapable connota-
tion in AFRA's assessment, and that
is why Mr.. De Mile deserves all
gratitude and respect for bringing
the issue out into the open, where
Americans can pass on it's merits as
freely. as they have hitherto voted.

BE Just to the Mailman

This inequity wiH be corrected IL
Congress passes the Burch bill which
is noW under confederation.
The bill will make complete re-
classification of postal employees, the
first in 20 years; it will grant an i'm
mediate increase of S400 in the an
nual basic pay, with honest overtime
of time and "a half for more than 40
hours of work a week; and it will
provide for annual increases over
limited term of years as an incentive
to keep men in the service.
IN AN appearance before the post
roads committee of the House of
Representatives, Mr.. William G.
Doherty, president of the National
Association of Letter Carriers,
warned Congress that the future of
the postal service will be determined
by it's action on the Burch bill.
Speaking hopefully for the letter
carriers, he said:
at Would appear that at long
last the carrier Dill be given an equal
opportunity with his felloU Ameri-
can to share in a decent standard of
liuing."
The country can we'll afford this
act of justice, which has been too
long withheld.
The mail carrier and the postal
clerk are essential workers, in war
or in peace.
They should be respected and re-
warded as such.

DE Mile and Free
Elections

zen shall be compelled, by economic
coercion, to contribute money to
whichever side of a political contro-
versy the coercing power favors.
From saying "you shall give
money to this candidate, or meas
ure," to saying "you shall vote this
way-or else," is a natural and al
most an inevitable step in the his
torical process of first vitiating and
then abolishing the doctrine of free
elections.
THAT SUCH A TENDENCY is
A DIREC AND OMINOUS
THREAT TO THE FREEDOM OF
ORGANIZED LABOR ITSELF is
PATIENTLY CLEAR.
It lures men into the very trap of
tyranny they are trying to avoid, by
substituting another name for the
same tyranny.

IN THOUSANDS of communities
l. and rural areas the mail carrier is
one of the most familiar figures.
Throughout the years, in all kinds
of weather - to paraphrase the
famous line from Herodotus which is
the motto of the postal service-he
goes his appointed rounds
Nowadays, when millions of men
and boys are away from home with
the colors, his visits may be as COM
forting to anxious households as
those of the family doctor.
And in these war years his task
has been as endless, and his burdens
often have been heavier, than in the
times of peace.
For the postal service has had to
break all records in the Uolume OF
mail delivered, and it has had to do
this uith the most serious ronpoWer
shortage the department has eUer
knorUn, so that eUery employe in the
postal service has had to Work
harder than eUer before.
MOREOVER, these men have re-
1A ceived no extra pay for the extra
and even extraordinary service that
they are giving
Their salaries are fixed by law
and, because the law is obsolete, the
salaries are grossly unfair and in:
adequate = which is doubly unjust
since at this very time the monetary
receipts of the post office department
are the highest in it's history.

THE energetic and enlightened pro
l. test of Cecil B. De Mile against
arbitrary assessments by labor
unions for the support of political
issues which the union member as
free citizen and enfranchised voter
may personally oppose, is focusing
attention on democratic principle
which needs close examination and
vigorous reaffirmation.
Mr.. De Mile has been barred
from radio broadcasting by the
American Federation of Ra ado
Artists because he refused to pay 81
demanded the-uH feH-fFem- ait
members for fund to fight the
"open shop" measure in the last
California election.
Both by reason of his prominence
and the important revenue which Mr..
De Mile sacrificed rather than sur
render his principles, he has become
the spokesman not only of those who
believe in the DOCTRINE OF FREE
ELECTIONS but also of those mem
bers of ARA who protested the
assessment but were FORCED TO
PAY it or be deprived Of their iveli-
hood.
An ironical circumstance is that
most Of the protestants were against
the measure in question and so voted.
AS Mr.. De Mile said in his st.
Patrick's day address at Omaha:
"This is an issue betWeen all
Iiberty-loUing citizens and feW un-
scrupulous men Who are trying to
gather into their oWn honds-for
their oWn use - the polDer OF the
people. Just as il Was gathered in
Germany and Italy and in other
totalitarian countries. II il is not
quickly stopped, all individual rights
and freedom wiil be gone and only
the right to obey left to us"
In other words, this is not at all
an issue of unionism, pro or con.
The issue is only whether citi

In your sincere desire to help you inadver

S2100 grade would be raised to ST. 700 minimum" The
word minimum should have been maximum
Under the proposed Burch bill H. r. 2071, the postal
clerks and carriers in the service would be given
500 more per year than they receiving they
would also be given the opportunity to advance annually
until they reach maximum of S2.700 Provisions
