To the Editor:

In reading your latest issue, I
note an article by William I.
Patterson, which I consider very
excellent, except for one flaw.
This weakness is not only APP
plicable to Patterson but to many
writers of the Left, and is, I
think, 10Th rather than mid-20th
century thinking.
refer TO the Jumping of
Catholics with Negroes and
Jews as suppressed or discrim-
mated minorities. requiring rect
ification by such measures as
FEPC.
I want to point out that in this
country today there are nearly
as many Catholics as all other
Christian sects combined. In 1910,
there were 100000 Protestants
and 100000 Roman Catholics.
The largest single Protestant de-
nomination had 100000 mem
bers.
In view of the great division
existing in the Protestant ranks,
how can we fail to take note of
the strength of present-day Cath
olicism?
/ never hear of any discrimina-
ton against Catholics. Even the
newly Ku Klux Khan rec
ognizes these changed conditions
and is concentrating its fire on
the Negro and the Jew and on red
batting.
Indeed, the Khan and Catholic
reactionary elements, like the
Coughlinites, have been reported
cooperating.
So let us people of progressive
tendencies try to live under pres
ent-day realities.

1t is said that employers dis
criminate. against the middle and
older age groups, when hiring
help, due to the requirements of
insurance companies. Group in
surance is practically a compul-
sion upon the employee.
Could it be that this mass in
surfing of workers entities the en-
ployers to rebates or reductions
on their plant insurance? Ger
tainly the worker should not be
blackjacked into paying for the
employers, industrial insurance.
How fortunate the Russian
workers are. No age discrimina-
ton, no insurance premiums to
pay, and free funerals and in

The Democratic Senator from Illinois = the onIv
Democratic Senator in the whole middle west-voted
against labor. He voted for the Taft-Hartley Bill
What to figure from that? Certainly Scott
Lucas no lone figure voting by whim He leading
member of the Democratic Party of Illnois-a savvy
political organization that figures the angles, calls its
shots.
Was his the TaftHartley anti-labor bill
an indication of switch in state party strategy?
Labor in Illinois must know the answer to that
question
Labor-which voted for Lucas-must know where
he and his party stand.
And labor must know whether Martin Kennedy who
won with labor support goes along with the Lucas
We must also know from, Jacob Arvey and Edward
j. Kelly the other big in the Illinois Democratic
Party whether they agree with this change strategy
Sen. Lucas must hear from the people. He must
be called TO his political senses. He be made

Roosevelt Democrat carry his political in their
hands.
He must be told that there is future for him as

If the Taft-Hartley Bill is vetoed-and everything
must be done to that is-Scott gets chance
to reconsider his vote He will be of senators

He should remind Barnes that
