Veterans Appeal To Labor
To Help Get Them Home

Washington-(FP Proof that the
average American CT knows his
friends are in the ranks of organized
labor came Jan. 8 in appeals for aid
as the Associated Press reported from
Manila that impatient Pacific veterans
there, fed UP with brass hat delays,
were fearful they were ticketed ''for
new American adventures in inter-
vention in the Far East"
Pres. James G. Patton of the Natl.
Farmers union received cable from
the elected representatives of 600 Gls
stationed at Batangas, the Philippines,
while Chairman Clinton S. Golden of
the Natl. Veterans committee, got
another from the same unit.
Patton Immediately asked House
Speaker Sam Rayburn Cd, Tex.) and
Senate Pres. Pro Tenn Kenneth Nc
Kellar Cd, Tenn.) to name joint con-
gressional committees to control the
gram.
Golden released a statement accom-
panying a copy of the cable, which
he dispatched to each member of the
House and Senate pointing out that
although over 4 million u. S. veterans
have been discharged, there are mil
lions more being held with little to
do, despite the War Dept.'s announce
ment it needs only lEa million troops
for occupation duty in all theaters.
"What about the millions who re-
main?" Golden's letter asked. There
are no legitimate tasks for so huge
a force at present" He charged that
"no responsible officer has given
satisfactory explanation as to why
these surplus troops cannot be releas-
ed now"
The Farmers Union statement said
the cable from Manila "is only one
of a series of demonstrations on the
part of enlisted men indicating dan
gerous dissatisfaction with the arbi-
trary actions of the military depart
ments of the government. In democ-
racy, even the military must depend
upon the willing consent of the rank
and file to support actions taken in
their name. 1t is becoming increas-

fled for unemployment benefits for re-
fusing to accept domestic or common
laborers work at less than half the
pay they were making in war indus
tries.
This was borne out by Dept. OF
Labor statistics which showed that
the average wage offered to men in
Atlanta i'm October was Sic an hour
as compared to Sl.lO on their last
job, and that offered to, women was
46c an hour as compared to 95c on
their last job.
A great deal of industrial expansion
is expected in the Atlanta area with
in the next year. Both General Motors
and Ford have started grading for
large plants in the area and some
smaller plants are also slated to ap-
pear when materials are available.
But while most of the unemployed
will probably be absorbed within a
year, USES policy of ignoring war
ime-acquired skills and stampedine
workers into jobs paying low prewai
wages is needlessly forcing down the
south's living standards.
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1946-01-17

ingly clear that this consent, which
must be based upon understanding
and sympathy, is lacking. To ignore
it any longer will have the most SER
ious repercussions. The time has ar
rived when the Congress. acting for
the people, should forcibly remind the
military of these simple facts"
Six elected representatives Of the
GIs in the Philippines signed the
cables and gave their address as Head
quarters Co., Subhase r, Philippine
Islands, APO 73. They were Sgt. Emil
Macy, chairman; S/Sgt. Gordon f..
Brewer; TISgt. Jerome Wasserman;
TSgt. Charles ]. Cohen; T/Sgt. Cliff
ford Stadler and T/Sgt. Robert Ewart.
Their cable asked aid in getting
their plea to Congress and complained
that at is obvious that the ancient
argument of military necessity is be-
ing foisted upon the public and Con-
gress. Many of the 'Pacific veterans
are doing occupation duty in the
Philippine islands, hostile country"

Seek To Avert
Meut Strike

Chicago-(FP). - Federal Concil
iator Edgar l.. Warren arrived here
Jan. 8 to attempt mediation OF d
threatened wage. strike by AFL ano
CIO packinghouse workers which
would leave retail butcher shops
empty within week.
Warren was expected to dangle the
promise of a price increase before the
Big Four packers whose refusal te
grant 17hc hourly increase to mem
bers of United Packinghouse Workers
(CIO) led to the unions call for a
walkout of it's 100000 members Jan

a 3O%t increase, but UPW Pres. Lewis
J. Clark said the union was willing
to settle for l7iac now and the bal
ance later when the general wage
picture becomes clearer"
Joining in the strike threat was the
Amalgamated Meat Cutters & Butcher
Workmen (AFL), which said it would
also order walkout Jan. l8 unless
packers came across with consider
ably better offer" than their present
one of 7Hc hourly wage increase.

Sons Of Higgins
Attack Wuiter

Cleveland-(FP). = The Cleveland
Union Leader, in a banner head story
Dec. 20 said that two sons of Ship
builder Andrew j. Higgins of New
Orleans attacked a Negro waiter at
the Hotel Cleveland Dec. IL because
'he forgot to say sir to southern
gentlemen" while serving dinner in
the Higgins boys private suite.
Under the by-line of Irv Gitlin, the
story said the Higgins boys have
gone unpunished since the attack in
which he was severely beaten and
kicked in the suite of Frank and Roll
land Higgins. The waiter is Orlie Day,
al, who won a monetary award in an
"out of court" settlement arranged by
his attorney.
According to the Cleveland Union
Leader story, Day arranged the table
and then went about serving the soup.
Maury Diggs, middle-aged guest of
the boys, tasted his soup and remark
ed waiter, this is very good. Have
you any cheese?"
Day smiled, the story says, and re-
piled "4es, In just minute" One OF
the Higgins boys jumped, to his feet
yelling What do you mean, Yes, in
Just minute?' " After voicing his
nasty opinion of Days race, Higgins,
reminded, "We're white gentlemen
from the south. Where we come from
we're addressed yes, sir and mo,
sir"
After calling the waiter impudent,
Higgins ordered him from the room.
Day said he would get the check and
Higgins again demanded he add the
word sir A melee followed in which
Day sought to defend himself from
Higgins blows, and the two other men
joined the fray until it was broken
up by hotel detectives.
Day was denied warrant for the
arrest of the New Orleans visitors, but
later his attorney, Charles v. Carr ac-
cepted cash settlement from Hig-
gins lawyers and agreed to holdup
further proceedings until he saw the
extent of the walters injuries.
Since then, the account said, the
Higgins boys have returned to Louis
lana, where no realist expects the gov
ernor to honor an Ohio request for ex-
tradition for face charges. The Cleve-
land Press buried the story in page IA
without full details.

Transit Dispute
Goes To Court

Kansas City, Mo. ~ (FP). = First
round of the dispute over union
agreement between the Kansas City
Public Service Co., and the Amalga-
mated Assn. Of Street Electric Rail
way & Motor Coach Employees (AFL)
is being fought out in the courts.
The union filed an application in the
Jackson county circuit court for an
injunction restraining the company
from cancelling the 1945 agreement
The agreement was signed only few
days before the end of the year, when
it was to expire. A year-long dispute
over terms of the 1916 contract had
held up the signing. Even before the
agreement was signed, the company
served notice of its intention to abro-
gate the contract.
Company attorneys succeeded in
having the injunction suit transferred
to a federal court. The union is also
asking the court to forbid the com
pany to change wages, hours or work.

YOUR WORK
BY RUTH TAYLOR

How do you work Do you finish
what you start to do? Do you have to
do things over? Do you work because
you have tor to fill up time?
1t was Carlyle who whote Genius
is the infinite capacity for taking
pains" And it is that ability, that
willingness Of spirit which is even
more important than manual dexter
| ity or mental skills.
All work is as seeds sown it grows
and spreads like the ripples from a
stone thrown into a pool. We do not
know against what bank it may spend
itself, or whom and what it may af-
feet.
Slipshod work hurts first the doer.
First in having to redo-for redoing
work is staying in rut, is not pro-
crossing or learning. Second, in the
weakening Of ability to do job right.
Carelessness is a habit forming drug,
insidious in its sapping of morale, but
deadly in its effects.
The work that each of us do, the
work that is before us, is our job, to
be done by us. We must prove that we
do it better than anyone else.
But there is another thing to be
remembered. DR.. Stelzle brought it
out in an article once years ago:
"The days work stands for social
lied effort, which has become possible
only because others in the past have
contributed their share to our effort.
To these we owe debt of gratitude.
There is only one way in which we
may pay this debt we owe them-we
have the privilege of building upon the
foundation laid by our forefathers, so
that other millions may be blessed be-
cause of our own labors.
"This may seem idealistic, but the
law of progress demands this of US,
unless we are content to become para
sites, living from the labors of others.
In a sense, every man is parasite,
who is willing to receive the benefits
which have accrued as the result of
others labors, without contributing
his share to the common good"
This is as true today as it was
when it was written. The way to get
materially and spiritual

you, is to do the days work as though |
it were the only job in the world
the one thing by which you would be

Enactment Of national health pro-
gram cannot come too soon.
Of course there's no danger that
il will come too soon, for there are
many members of Congress who want
none of it and who are happy to take
the promptings of the medlcos VINO
see red every time someone suggests
health program.
There are few spots in the United
States in which there is proper care
for all of the people in the matter OF
| health.
There are great gaps throughout
| the nation. There are gaps in which
there are either few doctors or no
doctors. And there are amazing gaps
in which diagnostic facilities are trag-
ically missing or inadequate.
AS for spitalization--well, that
has never been adequate or anywhere
near it.
Why the pundits of the American
Medical Association gang up to fight
a national health program is one OF
the great mysteries of life.
They wave a flag emblazoned with
the words "socialized medicine" and
that's that.
The funny thing is that almost no
two doctors define socialiZed medicine
alike and few have any idea of what
it really is.
However, if somthing called social
lied medicine gets us better health
and better care in sickness, then, let's
have it.
Now there are deep implications in
a national health program. One of
them is the fact that men and wo-
men everywhere would become more
conscious of health and of the con-
ditions that menace health
1t took long time to break down
the farmer prejudice against killing
cows afflicted with tuberculosis, but
education, plus payment for the cows,
turned the trick finally.
1t will take long time also to edu
cate farmer and consumer alike to the
further danger that turks in raw milk
fever; and to provide the
one and only remedy, universally. That
is pasteurization and nothing short of
it.
A national health program would
help, because it would reveal thous-
ands of new hidden cases and so raise
merry hell.
A national health program would
soon fix a stern and fishy eye on
the thousands of goat farms which
now flourish either unregulated or
nearly so, providing ready source
of infection.
Yes, there are implications in ma
tional health program, or even in a,
local one.
Pollution Of the sources of food
and drink would get new going over
by the people before long and health
would have a new inspir-
alton and new backing.
Today many health officer would
like to da things and urge things that
