Us Pat on Our Back
On 11th AnniverSar,

Editor: The eleventh anniversary
of the founding of the Minneapolis
Spokesman and the St. Paul Re-
corder slipped past me, but just
the same l must tell you it has been
an inspiration to me to see your
publications grow from their modest
beginnings into powerful commun-
ity institutions.
Your ability, self-reliance and
your dedication to community SER
vice are, in my opinion, the mott
waiting forces that have carried you
to your present level of achieve
ment. The fact that you have an
efficient and loyal staff and above
all, an understanding and coopera-
tive help-mate is further tribute to
your wisdom and sagacity.

ton to handle his complaint.
Rules Are Guides
Operating regulations which are
often spoken of as "the rules" are
frequently compiled and presented
to the new worker at the time Of
hiring. Sometimes the information
about the employing firm or agency
is printed or mimeographed, bound
and issued to the employee in the
form of a small booklet usually
known as a Manual for Employ
ees," Procedures" etc. Again, in
formation about the employing firm
may be found posted on bulletin
board. But, regardless Of the form
or the manner in which the rules
are presented, their observance is
required.
Operating rules and regulations
usually evolve out Of the company's
long experience, and they are pro-
vided for the guidance and protec-
ton of the employee. 1t is the duty
of each new worker to acquaint
himself with "the rules" and OBJ
serve them faithfully. The en-
ploying firm signs the pay check,
and it is the duty of the new en-
ployee to adjust himself to his en-
ployer's operating regulations. The
smart aleck" who sets out to
loosely evade "the rules" often finds
himself suddenly over the brink.
With an enthusiastic open-minded
approach to ones work, considera-
ton for fellow employees and a
determination to make good on the
job, the new employee should move
quickly and easily into his new en-
vironment.
There are different types of work,
however, that require different ap-
proaches. For instance, the prob
lens and relationships in the en-
vironment of the white collar work.
er are in some respect quite differ
emit from those of the factory or
shop worker. These two types Of
employment and problems per-
tinent to each will be discussed in
succeeding articles.

gress will be a difficult one. The
South is opposing this legislation
not because it objects to Negroes
working, but because it does object
to our people receiving equal pay
for the same work as white workers
and because under this federal law,
factories in the South would not be
permitted to refuse to employ Ne
groes solely because of their race.
The main thing the South wants is
cheap Negro labor. We can expect
its opposition to any legislation that
will provide decent wages in any
type of work.
Congress will do the whole labor
market in this nation a grave in
justice if it fails to pass legislation
creating a permanent FEPC. 1t
will be a clear indication that this
nation has learned nothing from
this war. The greatest problem of
reconversion will be labor. 1t will
be tragic if this is further broken
down into racial labor strife. Thou
sands of Negro soldiers will soon be
returning home looking for employ
ment. If they are greeted with
mo Negroes Hired" signs, or just
given mop and bucket jobs, we are
going to have serious problem on
our hands. The best way to avoid
this is to have ready well stated
FEPC backed by all the power of
this government. Unless the Ne
gro gets this, he will have lost all
he fought for in this war.

A FORMULA FOR WORLD PEACE

The United. States senate becomes the center OF world at
tention as the members prepare to expose the world charter
for peace to the an-reveaing light of open debate. Full pub
lefty has been given to all the details of the charter. Yet,
some of the phrases may be interpreted in more than one light.
President Truman tersely summarized the charter, when he
said the one essential to success in its use is the will to con-
form to it, says the Independent-Record.
Contracts of any sort are not worth much unless all parties
concerned wish to abide by the provisions. In the case of the
world charter, there are too many nations as parties to it's
provisions to expect full agreement on all occasions. But, if
the leading Allied powers can agree an excellent start will
have been made. There has been a disposition all along on the
part of the great powers to be fair to the smaller nations. That
too, is vital to success.
There are predictions the United States senate will approve
this important document. Once accepted in letter, the task of
conformity in spirit challenges world leaders. Our diplomats
appear convinced the machinery for world peace has been well
built. Let us hope current and future leadership will have the
patience to keep the machinery in working order.

THE WHY OF BORNEO

Borneo is a steaming jungle inhabited by 100000 tribes
Is4en and 5000 Europeans. The latter, before the Japs took
ever, controlled the place, the British the northwest coast and
the Dutch the big remainder.
Borneo is exceeded in area only by three other islands,
Australia, Greenland and New Guinea. 1t is nearly twice as
large as Japan. Head hunters, poisonous snakes and insects,
tropical diseases and sitting heat Notwithstanding, it is one
of the most coveted spots on the earth.
Just southwest of the Philippines, Borneo lies athwa1t Sing
apore. Hence it is strategic. Furthermore, it produces rub
Der and oil. Australian troops under General Macarthur now
are in the process of Kidding it of the Japs for these reasons.
Oil produced in the Brunei region, which once was a refuel-
ing point for the Japanese fleet, can be transported to Amer1-
can warships operating in the western Pacific in a fraction of
the time it takes to carry it from the United States.
AS the war continues, reserve supplies of natural crude rub
Der, needed in considerable amounts for mixing with artificial
rubber, are becoming lower and lower. Even modest shipments
from Borneo could be of major Importance to Allied military
Industries.

Truman's friends declare that
he sought the office with the
backing of the Legion and the
Masons. His hat already was in
the ring when Boss Tom Pend
ergast added his voice of ap-
proval. Be that as it may, Pend
ergast never Wavered in his
support nor Truman in his 10y
atty. Pendergast later put Tru-
man into the Senate race, ex-
planning that the more lucrative
county collectors job he wanted
had been promised to another.
WASTED WAGES |
The Truman Committee sat in
Kansas City in June, 1943, to
probe labor costs in the con-
struction OF the Sunflower ord
nance plant, one of the largest
in the nation. Truman and Sen
ators Ball and Brewster conclud-
ed that between 25 and 80 mil
lion dollars in wages were vast
ed. A labor leader testified that
less skillful Workmen were given
pay classifications according to
Department of Labor regulations
and there was no other way for
the matter to be handled.
"And yet in the face Of this
greatest of national emergencies
you couldn't let down." Senator
Truman exclaimed. when a job
of this magnitude costs the gov
eminent % TO 80 million dol
lars extra on account of labor
inefficiency, it is time for some
body to stand up and say some
thing about it,"
Then raising his voice and
shaking his finger at the labor
leader, Truman said: "You are
going to have to pay the bill
just like the rest of u.s."
Mrs. Martha E. Truman, the
presidents 92-year-old mother,
still is living and takes a sprite-
ly interest in politics. Her great
est compliment to the son who
followed a horse across the fer
tile acres Of their farm until he
was nearly 40 years old, is a
glowing tribute concerning his
ability to pillow the straightest
furrow to be found in Jackson
County.
But Of course, like airy good
farmer, Truman knows how to
skid the pillow over an outcrop-
ping of rock.

Truman's political opponents

On the other hand, Truman S

.hronit Fatigue
BY GEORGE MCCOY
Cady-McCOy Pharmacy

A complaint that is difficult
to diagnose is chronic fatigue
because both mental and ply
steal disease may cause it. In
adequate diet, lack of vitamins
and infections, such as tubercu-
losis and syphilis, diseased teeth
and early cancer may be suspect
cd. Sustained emotional tension,
lack of sleep, and disappoint-
ments are sometimes the root of
the trouble and these may lead
to organic disease.
After a diagnosis by a quail
fled physician has been made,
satisfactory treatment is usually
available to restore fitness and
efficiency necessary for every
American in these times.
Be sure the pharmacist who
fills your doctors prescriptions
is duly qualified.
