(By N. b. O. p. Delegates)

San Francisco-James F. O'Neil,
National Commander of the Ameri-
can Legion, warned that Commun-
ism is "the most virulent threat
ever faced" by this nation.
Speaking before the AFL conven-
ton in session here, Mr.. O'Neil
charged that Russia "has worked
out master plan for the expan-
sion of Communism that has over
looked no front on which the AM
erican people and every other free
nation can be attacked"
n O'Neil praised American labor
HSor providing the munitions and
materials Of war with which our
gallant forces won brilliant mill
tary victories.
"We have won a military vic
tory" he said, "but we have not
won the peace. There is no peace"
Freedom is still mocking myth
to most of the people of this post
war world. Freedom is again under
attack throughout the world. 1t is
not safe here because an attack on
freedom anywhere on this shrink
ing globe today is a direct threat
to our own liberties. Our free world
is shrinking, month by month, be-
fore our eyes.

Interpretation of this clause by
Sen. Joe Ball (R., Minn.) were
roundly denounced last week by the
st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Freedom of expression, it seems,
is a matter of who pays for it, ac-
,ording to Sen. Ball, the paper
pointed out editorially. Ball, the
editorial noted, replied to wide
spread criticism of the ban on elec-
.ioneering by the labor press with
this "clarification":
"The question is involved only
where a union paper is supported
by the union treasury instead of
subscriptions We don't care
who publishes a record on Con-
yressmen. They can also publish
resolutions about anyone" But
what Ball does object to, said the
editorial, is the use of such pub
lications as political campaign ad-
vertisements" at union expense.
"Such bumbling distinctions SIM
ply cannot be accepted" the Post
Dispatch declared. Full of the
spirit of the 18th century pamph-
leteers, the authors of the Consti-
tuition did not so hedge and hobble
free expression. 1t makes no diff
ference how publication is finan-
ced or distributed, whether it is
sold or given away.
"The attempt to limit the right
of unions to present their case
against an adversary is a glaring
fault of the Taft Hartley law" the
editorial concluded, "it needs cor
rection, not justification that can
not justify"

ALREADY the world has been split
in two. One half is now enslaved,
the other is yet free. Communist

trying to seize control of govern

the will of the Kremlin. Their
agents are busy right in our midst
here in America.

flayed the enemies of labor and
called for immediate political ac-

labor who failed to come through

Camden, New Jersey. - It has
been some time since your 0. G.
from Camden has taken the time
and effort to tell the news from out
New Jersey way. With the vacation
season over and the fishing tales
all told, everyone seems in the
mood to settle down for a period
of continued work until next sum
mer. Needless to say, it is real
pleasure once more to be able to
enjoy a one or two weeks vaca-
tion at whatever one chooses for
his own particular enjoyment. Dur
ing the next few months the main
topic of conversation around the
shop will be bowling.
During the spring and summer
quite few new employees found
work at Camden Pottery and | am
glad to report that although sew
eral were laid off at the end of the
vacation season, work is being
found for few. 1t is regrettable
that a few neglected to keep their
dues and assessments paid up be-
fore they left and had to be sus-
pended at the last local meeting.
They will have to pay their sus-
pension fees if work is found for
them later.
Brother Joseph Booth has been
granted a transfer to L. U. No. ",
and he is already at work at the
former Bowers Pottery.
Joseph Nizio was suspended at
the last meeting for non-payment
of dues and assessments.
We received the new issue of our
plant magazine recently, "Univer-

was given copy of the Redland's

the shop are more satisfied than
formerly.
Brother AL Kato is recovering
from an operation for appendicitis

ITO the fact that Senator Robert A..
Taft approved the terms of the con-
tract. He said it did not violate the
terms of the act. 1t is also signi-
ficant that the shipowners on the
Pacific Coast joined with Lunde-
berg in demanding closed shop
contract and union hiring hall.
Behind the action of Senator Taft
and the shipowners is a desire to
join with the SUP in keeping Com
munists out of West Coast ship
ping. Senator Taft was told that
the Taft-Hartley law makes it, an
unfair labor practice for an EN-
ployer to refuse to employ non
union man, even if he is a Com
munist. The only way to keep Com
munists out was to make it pos
sible for the Seamen's Union to po-
lice the situation. And both Senator
Taft and the shipowners had con-
fidence in the ability of Lundeberg
and his seamen to do the job.
Old Wording Changed
Of course, the wording of the old
union shop contract was changed
to make it legal. The old contract
provided that only members of the
SUP could be employed. The new
contract, just signed, provides that
prrsSrment in employment be given
to sailors who have worked with
