How do you read? How do you listen? Are
you carried away by positive statements with
out stopping to consider they might have been
made for that very purpose?
Or--are you free reader? Can you study
both sides calmly and collectedly weighing the
source of each statement judging by past per-
tormance and arriving at your own decision
after careful thought and due consideration of
all facts in the case? If you can do this, you
are free reader.
If you do this, you can effectively combat
those who try to stir up trouble by false ru-
mors authortatively stated, by vitriolic charges
against those in authority, by untrue accusa-

constant harpng criticism of anything and

Now that our summer camp at Sand Lake
Mich. has closed, l would like to take this
opportunity to express my sincere thanks to
everyone who contributed their bit, in time,
service, or money to make the project sue
cessful in its first season.
Based on the letters which have come to
me and the expressions of men and women in
and out of the union l believe that we of the
union have every right to be proud of this
undertaking We have been blessed with real
friends who are really interested in the chill
dren of Toledo.
One thing l must confess, was my anxious
moments before the camp was opened for
the season. 1t seemed to me that the weather
was against more than anything else. When
it wasn't raining, the grounds were still too
wet to work and when it wasn't too wet to
work, cold weather made the job difficult.
OUTLAsTED
But somehow or other, we outlasted the
weather and eventually, we did get the camp
opened.
While we did our best to give as many
children as possible an opportunity to enjoy
the benefits of the camp, we feel positive that
we will be able to do lot better next year
ties to take on much larger bunch of boys
and girls.
1t Is my hope that lot of the people of
Toledo who believe in the boys and girls
and want to provide them with increased op-
portunities will again come forward to spon-
sor children whose parents lack the means to
send them to Sand Lake for two weeks We
of the union will, of course, continue to send
a large number of children next year, the
same as we did this season.
We of the union have high hopes for our
camp and are looking forward with lot of
pleasant anticipation to next season. A lot
of us who did not have such an opportunity
when we were kids are happy to be able to
do few of the things for the youngsters of
Toledo which we missed know that those
OF you who feel that way, and there are lot
OF you, will help us to help the children next
year Your support was wonderful and l ap-
preciate it from the bottom of my heart.

The Republican party
stumbled into a Congressional
majority in the last elections
by promising to economic,
economize, economic. And
economize they did-by starv-

crippling the vital functions OF

But just TO prove that they're
not narrow-minded about this
economy business, the Repub-
licans increased their own

with 1000 employees cost
$4,000 a month to operate.
The next session of the Re-
publican-controlled House
with 220 employees will cost

only one way to correct this
and the Republicans know it.
Next January they'll open an
other attack on the children's
school lunch program.

he concluded with this incredible statement.
when this bill is signed by the President you
will find Lee Pressman, counsel for the CIO
and Joe Padway counsel for the AFL, holding

tn Law Compliance

Militant unions with strong sense OF
iustice. such as the United Auto Workers,
Steel Workers and practically all CIO In
ternationals, have a serious dilemma TO
face and solve because of the ruling OF
NLRB Attorney Denham.
There is, of course, more to be consid-
cred than justifiable resistance to an un-
necessary and unjust law. And 1t is these
considerations which are imposing serl-
GUS burden upon all real unions as they
seek to find way to meet the law with
out sacrificing their principles or weaken
ing their protests.
What makes the matter complicated
for militant unions and honest trade union
leaders is their opposition to being forced
to sign an affidavit that they are not COM
munists. This is a practice so foreign to
our American traditions that the argu-
ment advanced by union leaders need not
be pursued Needless to say, no business
or industrial leaders are required to sign
any type of affidavit before they can Sc
cure recognition from the National Labor
Relations Board.
ASIDE from tne Issue VI
dition and personal convictions involved,
there is another and more practical con-
sideration involving other unions, whose
leadership, while il may be 100 per cent
American, sees in the present indecision
of the militant unions an opportunity
which they are loathe to give up.
As result of this unwillingness of So
called independent" unions to act In
solidarity and unity with their trade union
brothers of other jurisdictions, the more
militant unions are faced with the situa-
ton of finding themselves at a distinct
disadvantage i'm cases where there is COM
petition along organizatiOnal lines.
The independent" union which has
given its non-cOmmunist affidavits can pc
tition for and receive an NLRB representa-
tion hearing. On the other hand, those
unions which may be competing with the
"independent" union for the right to rep
resent an industry's employees are power
less to intervene in the hearing or to Sc
cure a place on the ballot, because they
have not complied with the requirements
of the Taft-Hartley law.
IL is because Of these facts that both
the AFL and CIO and few of the better
independent unions find themselves in
position where they are tugging back and
forth seeking to find an answer for what
will become an increasingly more serious
problem. Thus, il becomes obvious that
both of the larger bona fide unions will
devote some very serious study and dis
cussion of the issue in an attempt to find
some workable solution.
While we hesitate to predict the final
outcome of the debate which is now
raging in all CIO unions, it is our belief
that some way must be found to prevent
independent" union OppOrtunists from
profiting from a law which, If II is not re-
sisted, will eventually wreck even the
unions presided over by union renegades
