1.-The American Federation OF
Labor affirms as one of the cardi-
nal principles of the trade union
movement that the working peo-
pie must organize, unite and fed
crate, irrespective of creed, color,
sex, nationality or politics" This
statement was made by Samuel
Gompers, an immigrant Jew who
led in the organization OF the
American Federation of Labor in
1881, and who was its president
for 40 years. 1t is representative
of the clear and progressive phi
losophy upon which the founda-
lions of the Federation have been
based and without which the Fed
Grafton would not be the strong
and progressive force that it is
today.
"Freedom, democracy" and
'toleransce" are beautiful words.
Many of us use them, but not all
of us mean them and less of us
live them. When an individual
mouths these phrases because 1t
is considered the correct thing to
do but does not mean them, he is
rnoraI1v in fhe wrong. But when
group of individuals organized
for the purpose of bringing about
constructive change, is satisfied
with mere declaration of policy
without effective action. it is not
only morally wrong but economi-
cally unsound, and the organiza-
ton is doomed to eventual failure.

RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IS FOE
OF NATIONAL SOLIDARITY
BY NELSON IL. CRUIKSHANk
American Federation of Labor

/ This is particularly true in regard
to the labor movement.
Nothing approaching solidarity
of organization necessary for eff
fective action in the economic
field can be accomplished If the
labor unions refuse membership
because of the color of a mans
skin or the place in which he
worships. Where unity of all
workers does not exist, neither
does a healthy, progressive labor
movement.
Reactionary forces the world
over know this well and the stir
ring up of race hatred through the
controlled press and radio is one
of the most effective weapons.
Hitler successfully used anti
Semitism in Germany to weaken
the labor movement and confuse
the middle class.
This type of propaganda has
never taken root in the American
Federation of Labor. Its leaders
and the great majority of its
membership realize that discrimi-
nation is threat to the entire
labor movement hat a man
Pin xro Rod IN otfapopts - i0;p N
union because of race discrimina-
ton, does not need much per-
suasion to become a strikebreaker
and tool of reactionary industry
that when group of people are
denied jobs because of color, race
or creed, 1t serves as a wage de-
pressing factor in all industry.
"The American labor movement
must stand as the bulwark of de.
mocracy and freedom in the Unit
ed States and give to America the
spiritual and moral leadership of
the democratic forces of the world
With these words the last
convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor again went on
record condemning "discrimina-
ton in all trade unions as a
disruptive and destructive prac-
tice and which gnaws at the
heart of organized labor :" and
called upon the unions to set up
"anti discrimination committees
tor the purpose of teaching the
membership the dangers of
discrimination because of race,
creed, color, national origin and
ancestry"

BOY SCOUT PLEDGE

ITO do my duty to God and
my country, and to obey the
Scout law; to help other people
at all times, to keep myself phys
ically strong. mentally aware and
morally straight"
Few boy scouts who take that
pledge are found in juvenile
courts.
Errant scouts who break the
pledge and reminded, seldom break
it a second time.

Unlimited Foreign Aid
Can Pauperize U. s.,
IndustriaIists Say
ky the Assec;oted Press

CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-The advisory
board of the Midwest Manufacturers
Associations, Inc, representing man.
ufacturing and industrial groups
from II States, declared today it Is
opposed to the indiscriminate
transmission of large sums Of money
and large quantities Of goods to
Europe and elsewhere"
In q statement issued at q meeting
Of the board, the manufacturers
said: 'oThe sharing Of our wealth
will not materially increase
the wealth and well-being of the
citizens of other nations, and can
eventually pauperize and impair the
economic stability of our country"
The board asserted that Congress
should recognize that there is a
limit to the ability of the American
people to continue to carry the
burden of rehabilitating Europe"
since "a large proportion of the
citizens of this country are now over
whelmed with taxes"
recommendations of Board.
The advisory board, which serves
as direct spokesman for the State
groups, also recommended:
That Congress consider the feas-
ibilty" Of limiting loans or advances
ito the particular European indus
try requiring funds for needed re-
Mobilization
That the special session of Con-
gress beginning November II effect
immediate and drastic reductions
in governmental costs and in
the tax burden now carried by
American tax payers
The adoption of Federal legisla-
ton which would enable husbands
and wives to file separate tax re-
turns, each reporting half of the
family income"
, That Congress recognize "the fu-
tility of Government price controls
as means for stopping imitation"
The board said the recommends
tions would be submitted by the II
State industrial associations to the
members of Congress from their
States.
Manufacturers groups repre-
sented In the Midwest Associations
include those Of Kansas, Missouri,
Nebraska, Oklahoma, Illinois, Indi-
ana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota,
Ohio and Wisconsin.

Barber Wins Round
In Battle Over License

A District barber whose license
was ordered revoked on the grounds
ne was charging exorbitant prices
has won d first round in District
Court in his effort to block the
order.
Last Thursday, the Commission
ers approved a recommendation
that the license of Pat J. FiordeHse
to operate the Esquire Barber Shop
at 1904 New York avenue NV. be
revoked. Fiordelise had been ac-
cused of trying to charge two Army
sergeants $18.75 each for a shave,
massage and other barber services.
Last July, the sergeants at hearing
told the Board for the Revocation
Of Licenses that they had argued
with Fiordelise and that he COM
promised" by finally accepting, SO
from each. He also was accused Of
charging an Army officer $5.25 for
shave and massage last April.
In a suit filed at District Court
through Attorney Myer Koonin,
Fiordelise claims the Commissioners
exceeded their authority and that
his constitutional rights we're vio-
lated.
The suit asks that the Commits
sioners be permanently enjoined
from enforcing the order.
In the meantime, Justice Henry
A. Schweinhaut has issued tempo
rary restraining order against the
revocation order, pending hearing
on a motion for an injunction on
October 30. The suit names the
three District Commissioners and
Ed Bailey, superintendent of
licenses. as defendants.

Presidential Aspironts on Grill
At Annual Gridiron Club Dinner

were toasted to q mild crisp in the
ghost town skit, In which the Grid
iron Club poked satirical fun at
Messrs. Taft. Dewey, Stassen, Eisen-
hover and Speaker Martin.
The setting for this number was
a ghost town in the West. 1t opened
with a dance macabre. while half a
dozen ghosts fitted about the stage.
why do Dewey and Taft and
Stassen and all those Republicans
come visiting our Western ghost
towns?" asked one of the ghosts.
They're looking for the silent
vote" one of the spooks replied.
The entry of the chorus, headed
by Carroll Reece, led to the intro
duction of Senator Vandenberg, who
sang in part:
"Feudin' and fussin' and a-fightin'
Always the G. o. P.'s excitin'."
Senator Vandenberg faded back
and Carroll Reece asked Senator
Taft II party unity was not beau
tiful.
LAS we say in Ohio" replied Taft,
IT'S nice work, If you can get it"
He then sang:
I'm running as I never ran
before,
Since first I strolled upon the
White House scene.
Since nineteen-eight put Dads
name on the door.
Tom Dewey then remarked !:
Some people talk too much"
Saving Golden Baritone.
whats the matter with your
golden baritone, GOVERNOR asked
Reece.
I'm saving it for next year."
Dewey replied. Until then. you're
not going to hear anything from
me but a whisper" which served
as musical cue to:
whispering won't make people
fear me-"
Gov. Stassen, the next presiden-
tial entry to come forward, was
startled by the appearance Of
Eisenhower.

mer Minnesota Governor, shudder-
ingly. II see what every other Re-
