ANTI-UNION PROPAGANDA OF particularly subtle and
"A effective kind is exposed by article entitled, Are Pub

versty and then into the Congressional Record

One cannot escape the conclusion that the aborpo

In contrast the article few indeed the

THERE'S A BATTLE AHEAD

TT MIGHT MAKE US FEEL better if we used lot of harsh
words to damn the Congress that wound UP session
and went home the other day.
We have the words and know how to use them-but we
think it would be better tried to point ways of keep
ing of the senators and congressman permanently
home
But first, just for the sake of the record:
Enemies of labor in Congress attempted to deal the
ions staggering blow by enacng the Taft Hartley Act
They killed price control prematurely permitting prices
to spiral upwards
They made virtually attempt to solve of the
trys most pressing probemsthat of the acute housing
shortage.
They humbed their noses at most the social legsa-
ton that labor supported they enacted
designed to aid business and industry.
There only way to the recent trend in legs
ative actonand that is by eecting different group of
legislators.
It's that simple in theory but much more difficult in prac-
tce It's to state the theory but lot of hard will
be required to get results
Call political action Call it exercising the voting fran
chic Call it what may it all adds up to the thing
Real political action is not something that is carried out
by group of union leaders in Washington elsewhere The
leaders give advice and guidance They point pos
sible pitfalls
But real political acton-he kind that gets results-s
that carried out by the and in the plants factor
les and mills throughout the country
It's the kind of action that gets the voters to the polls
election day.
Organizing and political action GO together like hot dogs
and mustard though they may be handled separately.
The first adds strength to union The second makes it
possible for the union to translate desires into action at the
ballot box.
1t won't be necessary this time to look for campaign
They created by Congress and they stick
like thumbs
And they're issues that can be translated into terms of
bread and milk, pork chops and rent.

LET OLD FOLKS SHARE PROSPERITY

IN HIS ECONOMIC REPORT to Congress last week. Pres-
dent Truman pictured this country enjoying unpre-
cedented prosperity One large which obviously is not
sharing that prosperity the millions of old folks who
trying to live Social Security pension does averaging less
than $25 month";
These old men and women neglected in the past
sion of Congress- which not only failed to raise the pensions
and other Social Security benefits but also oze the pen
sion tax rate at cent of payro instead of letting
2 per cent provided by the original Social Security
Act.
The result of this freeze" that the fund will not be
able to pay increased pensions and benefits.
AS Congress next January it should
get busy bill introduced this week by four who have
long been fighting for better deal for the old OksSenatos
Murray of Montana Wagner of New York. Mcrath of Rhode
Island and Congressman Dingell of Michigan
Their bill would extend Social Security protection to
about Americans who not covered under the
present law 1t would raise the pensions, add disability

workers. and in other ways bring Social Security up
nearly to the level of the Railroad Retirement System

UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION

denounced enemies of Amercanism, the home religion
and heaven knows what else We have long distance

OVER MILLION WOULD BENEFIT

N INCREASE OF THE NOW totally inadequate minimum

Labor Standards Act to at least 65 cents hour would aid

The bureau says that than million 6 percent of
the II million workers employed in manufacturing industries
in October 1916 earned less than 65 cents hour More
than half of these the lumber tobacco furniture and
clothing industries which important in Southern industry
Workers earning less than rs cents hour numbered

BUYERS STRIKE WILL FORCE PRICES DOWN

THE EFFORT OF THE President to price reductions
from business and industrial concerns makes little head
and the presidential secretary reports that there
has been particular evidence of cooperation.
This, think will continue to be the state of affairs.
Consequently there nothing to be expected from the
pagn of the President Sellers will continue to exact the
highest possible price for their products Only DEPRESSION
caused by the strike of buyers will force prices downward
Intelligent consumers do little nothing to protect
themselves far products concerned but
they compel reductions by refusing purchase
