Last February the carpenters failed

Sen. Robert A. Taft's blunt "eat less

his job is to see that Americans con-

There is to be no official sugges-
ton that bakers sell loaves for a
penny cheaper when their bread goes
into the stores considerably lighter in
weight, and no control on retail prices

certain that when prices of beef

The voluntary program, to meet the
emergency, calls on Americans to buy
cheaper cuts of meat and avoid fancy
steaks; dish out smaller helpings and
don't ask for second servings; do
roasts and steaks on the rare side to
avoid s%hrinkage; consume leftovers
in hash and stew; and go sparingly

for years and is in fact now affiliated

Prejudice Strikes ALL, CLIO Alike
All OF which goes to show that both
branches of labor are very much out
on the same limb when its comes to
tho necessity of fighting off prejudice
propaganda. Anti union employers
will stoop to racism whenever and
however they think it will work against
any and all bonafide unions.
There have been a number of cases
down south Of employers buying. dis
tributing and even reprinting litera-
ture produced by the unions commit
tees against discrimination. The bos-
ses do this in the hope that their own
prejudice propaganda will have so poi
soned their workers minds that they
will rebel against the antidotes pro-
vided by the unions.
When this fails to work, cases of
outright forgery have cropped up. For
instance mimeographed letters address
sed ITO Our Colored Brothers have
been sent to the white workers Of Bibb
Mfg. CO., with the forged signature OF
the unions committee against dis.
elimination. This forgery falsifies
and misrepresents the unions aims by
saving, I'VE have no argument with
pay or working conditions. We seek
to make it impossible for management
to forbid members OF our race from
indiscriminate use of drinking. toilet
and other facilities"
BY such hateful devices are the un'
ions Dixie drives being fought. But
with the continued support Of unionists
throughout America, the south will
continue to join the unions.
