STRIKES ALMOST AT VANISHING POINT

|'THE NEWSPAPERS haven't been saying much
about strikes have they? Only few weeks
to "save America" Congress should pass the most
drastic anti-union legislation. They came mighty
near putting it over, too.
At the time, this newspaper remarked that we
didn't need any new labor legislation, that if we
lust kept our heads and Congress refused to ex-
tend a helping hand to hard-boile employers, our
economic boat would come through the storm and
soon find itself in quiet waters.
Well, that's exactly what happened. LABOR,
the official organ Of the railroad workers. doesn't
claim to be prophet but it can't refrain from
pointing out that Congress didn't pass any anti
labor legislation worth mentioning and that the
rash of strikes ceased to irritate Uncle SAM
For example, according to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, during the month of June man-days
lost from stoppages fell to 3,8OO,O0O
Yes, that looks big, but as a matter OF fact,
according to the same authority, it was only
6510Oths of per cent of the time put in by
workers during the month
Matters were decidedly worse in February.
That was the peak of the strike wave and we lost
a total of 21,5O0,000 man-days. The unions were
certainly not entirely responsible, although they
got all the blame. Tough" bosses made their con-
tribution, and very important contribution it
was.
However, the point we all should remember is
this: Whenever our country gets mixed up in a
war which literally shakes the globe we can't ex-
pect to restore normal relations the moment the
issues the cease fire" order
Human beings not built that way.
The surprising thing-the thing that should
make us very thankful-is that we didn't have
more and sharper conflicts between employer and
employee The newspapers, the coumnsts, the
radio commentators and the labor-haters in Con-
gress did their best to stir up trouble They sue
ceeded to certain extent but, in the long run,
the majority of the members of Congress dem
onStrated they couldn't be Stampeded

we are out of danger.

UNION LABEL-THE ONE BEST BET!
BY |. M. ORNBURN,


Secretary-Treasurer Union Label Trades Dept, AFL
IN THESE critical times when so many problems
face the average American, it is difficult to con-
vince ali members of Trade Unions and Women's
Auxlaries that their best bets are to concentrate
on buying Union Label goods and using Union
services.
However, l believe our mighty army of con-
sumers in these two powerful movements can be
convinced that the best way to solve all or their
economic problems is to patronlze only those frms
that display Union Labels, Shop Cards, or Service
Buttons. When they are completely sold, every
store will carry a complete line OF Union Label
products, and employ only Union services.
To carry on the Union Label campaign it gives
the Union Label Trades Department of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor extreme satisfaction to
know that we have able leaders of both Trade
Unions and Womens Auxiliaries carrying our
worthy crusade into every business place and
home of America take this opportunity to ex-
press our sincere thanks for the good work they
are doing.
Buyers strikes against high-priced goods are
becoming popular. Why not turn these proposed
strikes into Union Label buyers strikes and re-
fuse to buy any article without Union Label
on it?
Union Label goods on the shelves OF every store
in America If there is no demand for them, man
ufacturers-many of whom are Union-wlll not
display the Union Label.
Of course, we desire to prevent imitation. When
prices are too hlgh we SnOuld purchase oniy Ine
necessities but a 100 per cent effective buyers
strike would create unemployment However, a
demand for Union Label goods at any time Sc
cures the jobs of Union workers In fact, this
must be done in order to have sufficient purchas-
ing power to keep the wheels Of Union industry
spinning Let's have our own buyers strike
against unfair products. Let's buy Union Label
goods.
urge all members of Trade Unions and Wom-
ems Auxiliaries to constantly look after their own
interests You can rest assured that the other
fellow is looking after "his"

PEOPLE WIN ATOMIC POWER BATTLE

I Asst WEEK the House put atomic energy and
bombs in the hands of a private Patent
Lobby"
This week. with dramatic suddenness, the
House reversed itself and handed control of
atomic materials, weapons, devices and patents
back to Uncle Sam.
AS result, there is far less danger that the
American people will wake up some day to find
atomic energy-and all it's immense possibilities
for war and peace-locked in the grip of an un-
precedentedly powerful monopoly, composed of a
few giant corporations.
The battle was about the Atomic Energy Con-
troll Bill, written by Senator Brien McNlahons
committee and passed by the Senate. The House,
under ANDY" Mays leadership gave everything
to private interests. The situation was saved in
conference.
The Patent Lobby, which is one of the oldest
and strongest in Washington, will continue the
fight for control of atomic power.
No law can keep the tentacles of monopoly en-
tirely out of this vast and vital new field, but the
American people have won great victory.

WE DIDN'T always find ourselves in agreement
W with the late Sidney Ellman, president of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers We criticized
him rather vigorously on two or three occasions
but, frankly, while we questioned Sidney's Judg-
ment, we never doubted his integrity.
Our good opinion has just been indicated
Hillman's estate has come up for probate. Al
though he was a powerful leader Of a great union
for quarter of century on more and received a
decent salary - $4,000 a year his estate is
valued at less than $4,000, and of that 100000
represents insurance policies.
In other words, while Ilillman was handling
tens of millions for his members he lived modest
ly and put what he could save into insurance poll
cies so his wife might have something when he
was called away.
He wasn't an exception. Labor leaders are like

PARTNERSHIP FOR LABOR

communistic let me quote you statement OF
those we-known Communists, the hierarchy of
the Catholic Church in America: America has
nothing to fear from Communism if we have a
social order that regards man as the beginning
and the end of life in human society. People who
are well fed, well clothed and well housed are not

Independent Party Adopts Platform

The Independent Party of Grot- ton have announced their six plank party platform, which includes first of all A REDUCTION IN TAXES AND A JUST PROPERTY VALU- ATION FOR ALL.
 2. An improved recreational and educational program.
 3. Encouragement of business and industry to locate in the bor- ough.
 4. A comprehensive borough re- port and annual publication of the borough grand list.
 5. A nominal annual bridge toll fee for residents of Groton and New London.
 6. Development of present water front and rail facilities.
 The INDEPENDENT PARTY is calling for the INTELLIGENT SUPPORT OF THE VOTERS, who can by their voting MAKE OUR BOROUGH A MORE PROSPER GUS AND PROGRESSIVE COM MUNITY.
 In order to alleviate the toll sit uation over the Groton-New Lon don Bridge that has cut heavily in- to the intercommercia1 activities of the two Townships, the INDIE PENDENTS,- when elected, ARE DETERMINED TO TAKE THIS MATTER TO THE STATE GOV EMINENT F O R READJUST- MENT.

 Waldo Clarke who sang the praises of Groton for a new build ing site to the Pfzer Company pointed out that the acquisition of the great chemical company would be- a boon to the development of the Groton-New London Harbor for Commerce. His fellow com- mitteeman, Stephen Hack1ey, de- clared that the location in Groton of concer nof the Pfizer Company standing was a matter affecting the entire state, and that the state would be proud to be the home of Pizer.
 Other concerns, now that Grot- on is receiving so much publicity, are becoming interested in setting up business in an area where ship ping and adequate railroad facili- ties are located.

The Non-partisans maintain that the ferry slip is the only possible site for a public landing for Bor- ough and Township owners of boats. The local boat owners are now obliged to use the New Lon- don, Mystic, Stonington, and other docks. They further maintain that it could also be very well used as a commercial pier, lending encour- agement to the fishing industry.
 The Non-Partisans have request ed the City of New London to in- vestigate the status of the ferry slip and name the conditions under which it could be transferred to the Borough or to the Town of Groton. It Is a general concensus of opinion that when the ferry ser vice was discontinued that New London thereby released legally their lien on the ferry slip.
 The Non-Partisans are now mak- ing plans to transport as many prospective voters as possible to the three voter making sessions that will be held before the Bor- ough elections in May. They esti- mate that from one hundred and
