THEN AND NOW

THEN AND NOW
All of us remember the slogans that were
put out during the war. 1t was war for de-
mocracy; the war which would make real the
ideals of the Atlantic Charter and bring the
Four Freedoms to the people of the world.
Today, nearly four months since the end
ing of the war, we awake to discover that not
only have the slogans been forgotten, but that
reaction has set in to such an extent that we
cannot even get the things upon which we
semed to be in agreement during the war.
Congress has just completed the job Of
knocking the full employment bill to pieces
despite the President making it must legis-
lation. 1t has not passed a more liberal unem-
ployment compensation bill raising the ben
efitS of the unemployed to $25 for 26 weeks
and has in general ignored the workers and
plain people of this country who made it pos
sible to win the war.
ANTI-LABOR LAWS
What Congress has failed to do for labor
has not been matched by what it has in mind
to do against labor according to the legislation
which is now awaiting action in Washington.
Bills to obstruct, and if possible, render la
Dor unions weak and ineffective are about to
receive consideration. Bills which would make
it impossible for workers to strike and others
which would deprive them of their political
rights waiting for action.
No matter what happens in the General
Motors strike, it is almost certain that out of
the present Congress will come efforts to pro-
tect the interests of big business. Labor is
about to discover what we have been talking
about for the past several years when we were
urging the workers to become part of the Po-
litical Action Committe and take an interest
in their political fate.
Failure of the Labor Management confer
which ended in Washington last week
because labor would not agree on a program
of anti-labor legislation will add fuel to the
fire. Management will use the conference, the
same as some of the congressional reaction
aries to attempt to pass anti-labor legislation.
What will be our answer to the efforts
which are about to be turned full force against
us? Will we be able to prevent the anti-labor
legislation from becoming law by political
action, will we still continue to sit back
and expect our Union leaders to do the entire
job for us?
OUR ANSWER
The situation facing the American workers
today demands the interest and action of every
individual. 1t demands their support and ac-
tive participation in the political action which
will be our answer in 1946 to the things which
are now being forced upon u.s. You can do
your part by joining the Political Action Com
mitee and taking active interest in your
own welfare. The new PAC membership cards
are now ready and hope that we will show
an increased membership in 1946 in order to
combat those who now trying to liquidate
our labor organizations.

Action

of the Political Action Committee
EMPLOYMENT BILL
The majority of the daily
papers are going all out to
create confusion on the Muir
ray-Patman full employment
bill. l wish to clarity couple
of points on which most of the
attacks are centered.
The purpose of the full en-
ployment bill is ID coopera-
tive planning for a maximum
of satisfactory jobs in private
industry, (2) a guarantee on
the part of the federal govern
ment that jobs will be pro-
vided, 90 adequate pensions
for the aged.
The Toledo Times in an edi-
torial Sunday, Dec. 2, CLOSED
over points l and 3, but raised
vigorous objections to point
2. The Times then proceeded
to quote the suggestion of DR..
George S. Benson, president of
Hardin College, Searcy, Ark,
who has told the House Execu-
tive Expenditures Committee
that the section should be
amended to read as follows;
"The federal government
has the responsibility to assist
always in providing conditions
which will enable competitive
private enterprise to provide
at all times sufficient employ
ment opportunities for all
Americans willing and able to
work"
MEANINGLESS
l don't know whether DR.,
Benson and the Toledo Times
are cognizant of the fact that
such a clause is meaningless.
The fact remains that such a
pious announcement has no
value at all.
The purpose of point 2 of
the full employment bill is to
assure to the American people
the right to tOork. Other sec
tions of the bill guarantee that
private industry will be given
every opportunity to provide
full employment, it then be-
comes the responsibility of the
federal government to pro-
vide jobs for the remainder,
at living wages, doing socially
useful work (such as flood
control, soil conservation,
rural electrification and con-
struction of roads, parks and
public buildings paid for on
a tax system based on ability
to pay
IMPORTANT
1t is important that the full
employment bill be passed
without such crippling and de-
structive amendments as the
one favored by the Toledo
Times.
Industries are social insti-
tutions. Whenever private in
dustry fails to provide jobs for
all, it is CALLING for their
Spokesmen to ask that the gov
ernment refrain from proVid-
ing jobs for the others.
Such selfish outlook which
puts the desire of the indus
trialist to have some people
always out of work Ito serve
as an example to dissatisfied
employees) ahead of the citi-
zen'S right to useful employ
ment, must not prevail in
America.
Everyone should write at
once to Representatives Ramey
and Bender and demand pass
age of the full employment bill
without sabotaging amend
mentS.
World Peace is an important
part of the PAC program.

DREAMS AND PLANS
Of
RMHS SENIOR CLASS
BIZ ANNA STEVENS

Have you at some time wonder
ed what the senior class at Richard
Montgomery will be doing this
time next year? Upon inquiring
among the seniors, this is what we
have found.
About $500 of the senior class
are planning to further their edu-
cation, either in college or some
other school for special training.
Some of the colleges being con-
sidered are: William and Mary,
Western Maryland, George Wash
ington University and Maryland
University.
Resale Nichols, whb is already
practicing in ner field now, will
attend the State Teachers College
at Towson; our class artist, Elean-
or Mill, is planning to go to the
Pratt Art School in New York
City; and Murray Hamilton plans
to go to the Academy of Dramatic
Art, also in New York. Our clasa
president, Martha Holland, wants
to go into the study of x-ray tech
nology and two of the other girls
plan to attend a secretarial school,
A large number of the senior
girls are planning to be typists, at
such places as the court house, the
Naval Hospital, General Account
ing Office, the Health Department,
and in various other locations.
Danetta Louthan hopes soon to
realize her old ambition to join the
Cadet Nurse Corps and Anna Ruffo
also plans to attend nursing school
in the fall.
Most Of the boys seem to have
their future all planned for them
by Uncle Sam. Several have al
ready been sworn in and are only
waiting to graduate before leaving.
Arson Ball and Bill Wisner have
been taken in to the Air Corps and
Howard Bailey into the Navy.
Harold Smith and George Hatha-
way have both passed the A-12
exams. The number of boys in the
graduating class is small as many
Of them left for service in their
sophomore and junior years.
This takes care of the plans of
most of the senior class with the
exception of a very few that are
undecided. We wonder how many
of these people will, in the next
year or two, be actually doing the
things they are planning now?

was the best ambulance and had
our medical supplies. In a short
time l saw six men carrying Col.
Brown in a blanket. l rode down
the road to meet them, and in a
few minutes the ambulance re-
turned.
We put him in as carefully as
we could. l got in, he leaned
his head on my shoulder. l soon
saw that he was fatally wounded,
the ball had entered the corner of
his right eye in a line with his
ear, and came out the back of his
head. l gave him some whiskey,
he raised up once and spoke, said
81 am so sick".
Then Colonel Gus Dorsey came
and asked me if he were seriously
wounded. / told him he was. Then
Colonel Dorsey said he would give
me a guard of eight men, as the
enemy was in Ashland. The am
bulance started back, the mules in
a run, we had gone a mile or two
when Colonel Dorsey rode up
again and asked how Colonel was.
l told him he was suffering very
much and could not live but few
hours, and suggested that I stop
at the first farm house that came
to and send the guard, ambulance
and my horse on to Richmond. Col.
Dorsey gave me permission to do
so.
In short time we came to a
house where there were a number
of trees, we got out a stretcher
and took the Colonel in the yard
under the shade of the trees. The
lady in the house gave me a pill
low to put under his head. l took
the effects of Colonel Brown,
which consisted of his pistol, Bible,
pen knife, pipe and tobacco pouch
and hid them under the pig pen,
expecting the enemy to arrive any
minute, as some of them were in
sight. The Colonel fingered until
about six o'clock in the evening,
and then passed away peacefully.
The lady gave me white shirt to
put on him. ] bathed him as well
as l could. With the assistance Of
the old colored man, we carried
him In the house and put him in an
unoccupied ROOM.
