elections. Yet, under the nose of
our military and diplomatic repre-
sentatives Soviet puppets in both
countries have conducted Hitler-type
elections, or even worse.
The elections were such shams
that the report submitted by Mark
Ethridge, the liberal editor whom
Secretary Byrnes sent last year to
investigate the elections, were never
published. 1t was such a strong
condemnation of the methods used
to gain large majorities for the
Russian puppets that it would make
Hitlers tactics seem almost mild
in comparison.
There is no reason to believe that
the policies adopted by Moscow in
all the countries it wishes placed
behind the iron curtain will not be
repeated in the case Of Italy.
The only mitigating factor Is that
there are no Russian armies on the
Italian territory. But even this dis
advantage need not be an insur-
mountable difficulty for the U. S.

With Europe and Asia staggering amid the ruins of
the worlds most destructive war, the United States
appears more attractive than ever to millions OF
foreigners.
Since the revolution, the United States has admit
ted 3sS200o0 immigrants, and the character Of
America as land of many natonaties led one Eng
ish observer to remark that Europes greatest achieve
nent is the United States Nevertheless unrestricted
immigration, which once was bringing more than a
million aliens annually to these shores, has been
thing of the past since shortly after the First World
War In 1924 Congress established quota system
tased On the number of previous immigrants from
European countries, and this limits theoretical imni-
grafton to about $4,000 year.
Actually this figure has not been reached since
the late 1e2os The depression lowered the number
of applicants for decade, and then the further
dried up such movements. In 1916 there 108721
legal arrivals while perhaps twice that number lille
gally crossed the border.
Change Is Controversial
Now with transportation returning to normal,
Congress faces the need for immigration policy.
An immigration subcommittee of the House Judiciary
Committee is commencing hearings on the Stratton
bill which would admit permanently, on nonquota
basis total of 100000 displaced persons now wait
ing in the American and British zones of Germany
and Austria and in Italy.
The issue promises to be controversial one, be-
cause the White House. State Department and Justice
Department have approved the measure while leaders
of organizations such as the OAR and the American
Legion are expressing disapproval Many fear that
the United States might be inlltrated by Reds, while
others take the view that the abundance of "the
American way might be menaced by new arrivals at

probation for the assistance of those friends who
worked in my behalf.
The office of Floater Representative is of great
Importance: especially to the Coast Counties. To prop
erly represent the people of Jackson County your
Floater Representative must understand the problems

our seafood industry, and have had experience as a
member of the State Senate.
I am in favor of improving our port facilities, de-
velopinq our seafood industry and shall advocate the
state refundinq to municipalities all amusement taxes

priations for our schools and better pay for teachers
and bus drivers, liberalization of Old Age Assistance
Laws with increased benefits, and state assistance to
War veterans.

times warrants a thorough investigation of the quail

Labor Exposes Phony Union

ATLANTA (LPA)-Union-hating Atty. Gen. Tom Watson, of Florida, has concluded that "anti-c1osed shop legislation isn't going to save us" ac- cording to officials of the AFL south ern drive.
 "He ought to know" declared the AFL leaders. "His latest move was to call a meeting of Florida firms and employer groups at whcih he sought to promote the fortunes of something called the Federated Unions of Ameri- ca, an Indianapolis group"
 Watson, the AFL men continued, touched briefly on his earlier unsuc- cessful venture with an Arkansas out fit, the Veterans Industrial Assn. "The wrong people were associated with that outfit" Watson was quoted as saying.
 The fanatica1 attorney-general claimed that "the Federated Unions would organize locals, charge initia- ton and charter fees and then would end its connections with the locals, '' according to the AFL officials.
 Watson didn't say who would take over the locals at this point but pre- Sumably it would be the bosses as this was the group that Watson called together for his promotional work Apparently some of the industrialists present had heard of the Wagner Act as the meeting adjourned without talk ing action"

Reinstatement
 Closely Defined

If an employe is fired in violation of the Wagner act he is entitled to be reinstated to the job he had, and not merely to one which is claimed to be equivalent to it. An NLRB examiner ruled, in the case of Atlas Imperial Diesel Engine Co.,, that reinstatement to a job on a different shift and in a different department did not satisfy the law even though the job was otherwise equivalent
 The examiner also decided that in figuring the amount of back pay due the discharged employe, the employer was not entitled to credit because the worker had meanwhile refused a job with another employer which was not equivalent to the job he was fired from
 Lack of equivalence in this last case arose from the fact that the employe would have been required to travel 12O miles away to do the work for the other employer.
