undermine the present world posi-
ton Of the United States.
1t is not "defeatest" or mega
tive" as some specifically say, to
oppose legislation Of the kind |
have been discussing. On the con-
trary, opposition to Legislation that
is ill-considered, that will produce
incalculable harm to our national
economy and welfare, is the affir-
NATIVE duty of every constructive
citizen and group. The truth is
that the sponsors of anti-labor leg
islation are defeatest and negative.
We have every faith in the
American worker, and we say that
that faith has been more than am
ply justified. We know that his
own progressive and patriotic inn
pulses, left free and unfettered,
will, in the future as in the past,
contribute to Americas growth
and greatness, and we are there
fore compelled to resist any effort,
legislative or otherwise, that
threatens his most cherished pos
session of freedom and dignity.

UNION LABEL BUYING
STABILIZES OUR DOLLAR

many before the time of Hitler say
that people generally complaineds
about high prices, labor union ii
and Communism, while the re,
trouble was that presses wt,.
printing bales of marks German
money! and that it was imitation
caused by German money which
brought about the terrible eco
nomic conditions and helped to
bring about Hitler. Today, in Ger
many, money is so cheap that Gig
arettes are used for the principal
medium Of exchange.
There is no better method of
standardizing the purchasing pow
er of the American dollar than the
Union Label plan. When this Of
fetal emblem appears on merchan-
disc it is a guarantee that it was
made in the United States or Can
ada. 1t is the symbol of the trade
unions that established the Amer
ican standard of living, and it
gives the best assurance of quality
and workmanship.
When members of labor unions
and of auxiliaries demand the
Union Label, Shop Card, and Ser
vice Button, they are doing more
to obtain the equivalent of their
union earned wages than they can
through any other economic sys-
TEN in the world. Patronize only
those firms that display the Union
Label, Shop Card or Service But
ton and you will stabilize the pur-
chasing power of our dollar. 4

Claims for higher wages are
often based solely upon increasing
prices of the necessities of life.
There are other important factors
which should always be included
when the question of pay is under
consideration.
The ever-increasing productivity
| of the worker is also an outstand-
ing argument that should be used
for greater income for labor. From
1911 to 1889 production per worker
per year in all private industry
rose 43 per cent.
Profits of an industry is another
factor that should always be kept
in mind. In manufacturing the net
income after taxes almost tripled.
From $4 200, 100000 in 1889 profits
increased to $4,000, 100000 in
1916. Workers should receive an
equitable share of the gains in in
come made in their respective in
dustries.
There is still another factor, the
real value of wages in terms of
purchasing power. From VI Day,
to October 1916, real wages fell
from $45.95 to 1926 in heavy in
dustries. In consumer industries
the average "real" wage fell from
$3.50 in September 1945 to 1920
in October 1916. All this occurred
in spite of the fact that actual
money in the pay envelope was
substantially increased over the
same periods.
The trend indicates that "real"
wages should be one of the prin-
cipal detectives of wage earners.
The dollar today purchases only
the same amount of foodstuffs as
it did eighty years ago in 1867, the
peak of initiation after the Civil |
War. In 1897, consumer could |
purchase three baskets of food for
what it costs him to buy one bas-
ket today. This was the period in
which one could purchase more for
his dollar than at any time during
the last century. Old timers can
recall that when they bought a
five-cent glass of beer, they could
obtain a better meal at the ''free
lunch" counter than we can obtain
today for a dollar.
Many observers who visited Ger

Uncle Sam Cracks
Down On Crooked
Business Mefhods

Washington.-As long as even
the oldest inhabitant can remem-
ber, manufacturers Of fire-fighting
apparatus have been charged with
monopolistic practices, including
exorbitant prices, and, worse of all,
systematic corruption of city Of
ficials.
The Department of Justice has
at last taken cognizance of these
charges. A Federal grand jury at
Columbus, O., has handed down in
dictments against the Seagrave
Corporation of Columbus and the
Observation-Disclosures Foamite Cor
poration of Elmira, N. Y, and
four of their principal officers.
They are charged with con-
spiracy to restrain trade and mon
opolize production and distribution
of motor-driven fire apparatus.
The Indictment sets forth that
the two companies sell American
cities go per cent of their equip
ment, and that they agree upon
terms of sale, prices to be charged
and trade-in allowances to be
given.
Corrupt City Officials
The companies are also accused
of having used improper influence
to have municipalities and govern
ment age.2cies draw plans and
specifications in way to prevent
other concerns from bidding.
That is a polite way of saying
that some public officials were
briDed to do the companies bid
ding.
While the Columbus grand jury
was dealing with the fire fighting
makers, the Federal
Trade Commission in Washington
vas probing other crooked busi-
ness practices.
In one case, the commission
recommended" reforms for the |
Union of Wood |
Screw Manufacturers, the Export |
Screw Association, and its mem
Der corporations.
In the other case, the commits

visible effect on what Joe Curran
(head of the Maritime Workers
union) calls pork chops'-pay and
conditions of work. And except
when the pork-chop problem is ex-
tremely acute, the rank and file
are not intensely interested in the
affairs of their unions"
-" Union meetings are COM
monty occupied with a deal of full
business. The rank and file
stay away" the authors write.
"But a Communist will come to a
union meeting if he has to crawl
to it from his deathbed. By
never failing to act together, by
never missing a meeting and by
never entering a meeting without
a plan, the Communists are able
to gain control of union local after
union local."
The cure for this control of ma
jority by a well-drilled minority is
ito arouse the majority to what is
to organize in self-pro-
lection, and to Illustrate the Com
munist blue-sky tactics by sheer
weight of ank-and-file votes" the
Alsops conclude. THAT is precise
ly what the powerful and effective
group of anti-Communists within
the CIO are now energetically
seeking to do"

beng younger, Is was more Vul-
nerable than the American Fedora
tion of Labor, the Alsops say. Su-
perior training in the technique of
union organizing gave them a foot
hold in the formation days of the
CIO; being well-drilled and thor
oughly united enabled the "com-
mics" to retain and extend that
control.
An effective method used by the
commies to control local union
meetings in the technique of ted
ium," the Alsops report. By end
less debate over matters of little
interest, the commies drag out the
proceedings until the non-Com-
munists get bored and leave. Then
the vital issue is brought to a vote
and the commies win.
The heart Of the whole prob
lem, according to the Alsops, is
that "the union rank and file are
not interested in issues with no

British Journalists
Blast Censorship as
Peril 10 Free Press
" the Asseeiotsd Prsss

LONDON, Sept. 16-The Insti-
tllte of Journalists, British profess
sional organization of 1900 working
newspaper men and women, has told
the government that official censor
ship and not editorial suppression
OF news Is the great danger threat
ening Britains traditionally free
press.
The institute referred to the in
creasing government use Of public
relations officers as trend toward
"monopolistic control of oficial
news
Press officers play up" the Sue
cesses of the departments they serve
and suppress news of the failures,
the institute declared In testimony
to the government-appointed ROYAL
Commission now investigating the
nations press.
Memoranda Of the evidence were
published today.
The institute attacked newsprint
rationing and served notice that
its members would oppose, unani-
mously and energetically. any pro-
posal to nationalize the press or to
introduce an element of government
control, no matter how benevolent
such development might be-"
The press can never be free from
unjustified charges and suspicious
of suppression until 1t is allowed
SUFFICIENT newsprint to give some
thing like comprehensive picture
Of events the institute said.
1t cited reports of a nation wide
survey to deny charges by the Ma
tional Union of Journalists and La
Dor members of Parliment-who in
spired the investigstion-that news
papers suppressed or colored stories
Of events not in agreement with
editorial policy.
Working journalists, some with
over so years experience, could not
recall any occasion on which their
freedom to report what they had
seen and heard at public occasions
had been interefered with by the
arrangements or owners Of the news
papers" it said.
The institute also opposed what 1t
said was "a campaign for a closed
shop" that would deny employment
Of journalists who were not MEM
bers of the National Union of Jour-
nalists.
Carried to the conclusion to
which it is now clearly directed" it
declared, this movement would
force every working journalist of the
country into single political party,
and it must inevitably mean inter-
ference with the editors control not
only in the choice of the journalists
to serve his paper, but in regard to
the news and views they write"
Like the American Commission on
the Freedom of the Press, the insti-
tute suggested development, 'in In
5titutional FORM of a professional
conscience"
The real need, as the institute
sees ii" 1t said, 'is a system of self
regulation which will protect and
fortify the integrity of the profess
sion. no matter what form current
pressures may take"
