RUR4L ROADS-FARMERS NEED
MORE OF THEM

This month, Rural Free Delivery Serv-
ice embarks on it's fifty-second year OF
service to rural America. Rural mail car
riers, 32,1S9 of them, travel 1,Hl,994
mileage they cover each day through rain
patrons along their routes. Yet half the
mileage they cover each day through rain
and mud and blizzard is over dirt roads.
Access to market has meant increased
production and income. Better roads have
brought mail delivery, cons olldated
schools, churches, medical care, fire pro-
lection and trips to town. These add up
to better and happier life on the farm.
Higher standards of living sprea d
rapidly. Today's farmers who live on
dirt roads are speaking out for the i'm
provement of more back-roads They want
the year-round transportation that has
brought better living to their neighbors.
Transportation problems still handi-
cap much of the rural population. For
years, the farmer has been asking for bet
ter roads. Good or bad, he depends upon
them. He is the nations number one
road-user. He uses a third of all the
trucks that are built and more than four
million of the passenger cars. When he
makes trip over muddy or dusty road,
it's usually business trip.

First CIO union to indicate
that it would not bypass the
Taft Hartley version of the
NLRB is the United Brewery,

The unions general executive
board, meeting here in mid

with the law" The union will

mean that our organization ap-
proves Of the Taft Hartley Law,
or that we have departed from
the opinion that major portion
OF that law is unconstitutional
and will be so declared when
subjected to action in the courts.

NLRB Faces
Court Action

WASHING TON, Sept. 8.
(LPA)--The question of whether
or not unions that refuse to file
the on-Communit" affidavits
with the National Labor Rela-
tions Board will be able to
maintain their rights in cases
decided before the Taft Hartley
law went into effect Aug. 10 was
still open last week.
"Test case" may be the NLRB
decision handed down Aug. 21,
ordering the reinstatement of
eight employees of the Geraldine
Novelty Co. in Gloversville, NY.
The eight were members of the
Fur and Leather Workers-CIO,
whose international president,
Ben Gold, is an avowed Com
munist.
There are two questions which
have not been answered by
NLRB officials:
/. Can this union, which is
unable to file the required nom
Communist affidavits, ask the
NLRB to go into court to en-
force the NLRB's August 81
order that the company rein
state the eight CIO workers with
back pay?
2. Can the NLRB proceed
against the Ladies Handbag,
Luggage & Novelty Workers
AFL, which expelled the CIO
members from the AFL union
because of their dual loyalties,
thus precipitating the firing of
the workers under a closed shop
contract? Under the TIL law,
a union cannot expel members
working under a union shop
agreement except for non-pay-
ment of dues.
Hundreds of cases less COM
plex but equally perplexing,
will have to be reviewd by the
new five-man NLRB in the
weeks ahead.

NEGRO Troinmen
Sue For RIGHTS

w AS HIN G. T o N, Sept. 3
! (LPA)-Another suit aimed to
insure the job rights of Negro
railway trainmen and locomotive
firemen was filed in the u. S..
District Court here last week.
The st. Louis-San Francisco
Railway and % officials of the
Railway Conductors, Railroad
Trainmen, Locomotive Firemen
& Enginemen, and Locomotive
Engineers unions were named
defendants.
For more than 40 years, the
Association of Colored Railway
Trainmen and Locomotive Fire
men charges, the railroads and
the unions "have persistently
tried to drive Negroes out of
train, engine and yard service
solely because of race" The suit
refers specifically to a union
agreement with the st. Louis
San Francisco Railway signed in
1928, which restricts future
hiring of Negroes to the jobs of
train porters only.
The Supreme Court has ruled
favorably to the Negro rail
workers in two cases which in
volve southern railroads, cases
which were referred back to the
local courts where the cases
originated. Latest figures show
that there were 1000 colored
locomotive firemen - in skilled
jobs paying $3.50 to $500 a
month--in May 1945.
The Negro union lie d ers'
charge that, with the growing
use of Diesel engines and result
ing elimination of firemen, their
ranks are being depleted by
firings, instead of upgrading to
engineers as is the practice with
white skilled workers.

"Ours is probably the most
heartbreaking story in the post

president. After eight lone

Hitler destroyed the German

he had a better idea. He took
over the CAL, seized its proper

officers but continued to hold

practically no business from
What created this sltua-
ton was a ruling by Robert
NJ. Denham, the boards gen.
eral counsel, that before any
local AFL or CIO union may
utilize the services of the board,
each top officer of the parent
body must file the Taft-Hartley
affidavits disclaiming Commu-
mist membership or affiliation.
Most CIO unions have al
ready announced they will boy
colt the board, so it can look
for little business from that
group. Many AFL unions, on
the other hand, have indicated
they will comply, but before
they can use NLRB machinery,
each member of the AFL Exc
cutive Council must also sign
the affidavits.
AFL Is Question
If one member of the Coun-
Gil refuses to sign, the entire T.
100000 members of AFL affi-
liates would, under Denham's
ruling, be frozen out" by the
board.
Reports have been wide
spread in Washington tn a t
President John l.. Lewis of the
Miners may balk at signing as
a matter of principle. The AFL,
in its latest weekly news serv-
ice, left a broad intimation that
not only Lewis, but other men,
bers of the Council, may also
refuse.
while there is not the
slightest suspicion of a Red
tinge among the membership of
the Executive Council" the
AFL news service declared, "a
fundamental principle is in
volved in the filing of such af-
fidavits which makes the deci-
cion whether to comply a
weighty one. The only alterna-
tive would be to boycott the
services of the NLRB alto
gether."
Will Weigh Resistance
The news service added that
the Council, at its quarterly
meeting which opens Sept. 8 in
Chicago, will ''weigb the ad-
visibility of compliance or re-
sistance."
Should the Council decide
against signing, that would
mean no local lodge of any AFL
affiliate could utilize the NLRB.
If the CIO adhereS to a COM
parable position, all members of
both organizations - 13,500,000
In all - may then be barred ac-
cess to the NLRB's services.
In that event, the NLRBI
would become an agehcy hand
ling only cases filed by employ
ers and by independent unions
that is, unless Denham revises
his drastic ruling, or the parent
organizations decide to go along
with the affidavit require
ments.

Aleman's Greatest Task

 It is good to see, however, that there ndica- tions of rising protest Some of the businessmen in Alemans new cabinet have expressed themselves in no uncertain terms on the subject Some of them feel that honesty in government-as in the United States see tshould be of the primary objectves of the incoming administration If Mexico is to free herself of many of the handcaps-both national and international have retarded her progress-these leaders believe she must first establish confidence not easy to do business with any government if its officials known to be eternally "on the take

For a while no one could get into the Highway Depart ment without military pass. Tal- madge's chief use of the militia was to oust elected officials. It made no difference that the State Treasurer had been duly elected by the people of Georgia, Talmadge called out the military and forcibly evicted him from office. When the Treasurer locked the vault where state money was kept, Talmadge blew the door off the vault. For a while Tal- madge spent the states funds on a cash basis, with no record of ex- penditures. He employed an ex- racketeer to inspect the books of the universities and if he didn't like them, they were burned. Talmadge has promised to run Georgia just the way he did before. Those who know him say he is ruthless enough to do it.
