SERVING THE MILLIONS

ORGANIZED labor has on it's heart the welfare of the
millions 1t has had the dare only organize unions
to launch for shorter hours better pay good working
conditions but also to demand high standards In hold
ing public office and to fight for good government.
But in recent years. in many instances division has
crept in not only between worker and the man who hired
him. but also between worker and worker between union
members and officer between union and union The divisions
growing daily They make it impossible for labor to get
its feet sody the ground and to come to grips with prob
lens that face millions.
Yet in the midst of this turmoil labor is looking for the
distinctive action take to make great moral force
for justice and freedom in the life of the nation Finding
the to division would gain the respect of the public
everywhere. There is simple key 1t demonstrated by
labor editor who after attending the Moral Re-AImamen
conference Macknac Island Michigan wrote editorial
in which he said:
Recently have come in contact with an idea that has
been forgotten by many people, communities and nations
It's the idea of teamwork and honesty and unsefishness
have it in operation and know that if going to
write happy ending to drama then all of us must follow
those simple codes of living.
Like charity, the place to begin practcng these things
is with yourself isn't easy but it's the only way square
yourself with othersby first squarng yourself with your
Therefore (and hope no drops dead) want to
take this opportunity of saying to the members of the City
Council and to the County and other officials who have in
the years gone by if not recently felt the sting of my men,
that not totally in the right in stirring up suspicion
disgust and contempt for them have never written
thing that untrue to my knowledge. But my fault lies
in the fact that did not far enough offer constructive
understanding.
"It is easy enough to criticize and hurt people, 1t is
another thing to ahead and work with them, attempting
teamwork and help and honest dealings of the useless para
site fobes which too often important than the
welfare of the community That's what failed to do and for
which | apologize individual"
This simple act dissolved suspicion that people in the
community had towards him and organized labor Opposi
ton disappeared People him for advice because they
knew that what he said was based on what right and
not who right.
He gave labor moral backbone that left its mark ON
the life of the community Isn't this the destiny of the ord
nary rank and file member and union officer? What will
happen to the labor movement when its members live this
level? Divisions would be solved and effective would
be given to millions everywhere

GOOD SUGGESTION

THE editors of, Army Times the CT newspaper, have
posed to President Truman that the government pro-
vide free mail transportation for food and clothing packages
to Europe order to enlist the enthusiasm and
erosty of 1S million veterans and their families in the
gram to feed and clothe friendly Europeans.
The Gil newspapers editors asked the President to take
such action be to provide such free ship
ments and said the plan would materially aid in the present
desperate situation in Europe assist in the conservation of
critical food supplies in the United States and utilize vast
quantities of food and clothing which might otherwise be
discarded or wasted.
"The present mailing costs limit-or discourage entire
ythe sending of many such heavy packages that other
wise might be sent Army Times wrote the President "f
these costs could be borne by the government and national
appeal made by you to Americans to send such packages
free believe the who fought the free Europe
from toaltaran domination would rally to the plan by the
millions
"The American people, a whole, thrilled to
spond such program of aid that involves direct nv
dual participation and feel that huge amounts of food
and clothing which might otherwise go unused would be
rbuted" the letter continued Through such plan mil
lions Of veterans and their families would ship directly to
relatives and friends living abroad oodstuffs taken from
their family supplies and items of clothing that present
ly lie unused in attic other storage space"

EDUCATION AND PREJUDICE

THE report of the Presidents Committee Civil Rights
focuses attention the mperfections of de-
mocracy and the need for action to further professed
ideals of freedom and equality 1t bears the marks of much
thought and every American should give careful reading
and consideration
Perhaps the report may put forward objective that
will take long time to realize But that is why
real beginning should not be made at ending discriminatory
practices and pressed with all possible speed In this endeav
education must play big part The impatient will
aside education putting their faith in law forgetting ig
nong the fact that effective law enforcement must be back
ed by active public support AS the Washington Daily News
remarked:
Ihe educational process is slow. But it is responsible
for deal of the progress far made toward protec
ton of civil rights 1t would be tragic mistake to neglect
education and place too much reliance on the passage of laws
For the key word is prejudice. Prejudice like charity
also begins at home. And government reflects the pre-
udces of its people Tolerance is hard thing to impose
But when tolerance prejudice representative
government inevitably will reflect it, 1t is for of good
will of whatever creed to strive for that goal

The postwar 202 is designed for

pioneer who still retains control Of
his own company. Glenn L. Martin
entered the business in 1909. and
his company was one of a very few
to make money last year during the
