The LOYALTY of every federal

The administration of national

Martin demands.
The American people, who have
expended the lives of hundreds of
thousands of their sons and crippl-

Mr.. Hoover warns, that communism

the force of fascism would impose
upon u.s."

Dancers of Communism
Recognized at Last

Reprint from The Detroit Times }
Jan. 7th Issue
COMMUNISM is at last being
recognized in Congress, and through
out the country, as a DANGEROUS
thing and is no longer escaping
public scrutiny and commendation
through misunderstanding and mis-
representation of it's dangerous and
terrible character.
The new Congress has before it
the report of the House committee
on un-American activities. which
cites the alarming number of Com
munists in federal employment as
the basis for it's recommendation
that the government be empowered
and compelled to refuse employ
ment and discharge from employ
ment any person "whose loyalty 10
the United States is found in doubt.
The Communist party in the i.
S., asserts the report, is provably
and actively and exclusively the
agent of foreign government an
tagonistic to the American govern
ment and covetous of American pos
sessions and wealth and openly con-
spring against the American peo
pie.
In the service of this foreign
power, which only the naive will
fail to identify as Soviet Russia,
the American Communist party is
described in the report to Congress
as an organization (which has de,
dicated itself to the overthrow Of
the American government through
any menas it deems expedinet."
While such reports have been
MADE before, this one is to be
distinguished by being HEEDED.
The speaker of the House of
Representatives in the new Con-
gress, Joseph Martin of Massachu-
sets, has made the elimination of
Communists from the federal en-
ployment the FIRST BUSINESS of
the legislative branch of government
by saying in his acceptance speech:
There is no room in the govern
ment of the United States for any
who prefer the COMMUNISTIC SI-
STEM, or any other form of abso-
lutism, to the American system.
"Those who do not BELIEVE i'll
the way of life which has made us
the greatest nation of all time GER
tainly should not be permitted to
occupy positions of trust or pow
er in the American government.
"They should be-they MUST be
removed"
But it is not in Congress alone
that the dangers of communism
must be recognized in order that
they may be removed.
AS Director J. Edgar Hoover of
the FBI has written in American
magazine. it is no less the fault
of the American people at large
than of Congress specifically that
Communist infiltration in govern
ment has become q fostering dam
per in our national life.
"Too often, liberty-loving Amer
leans dismiss the menace of Red
fascism as inconsequential,H writes
Mr.. Hoover.
"They judge is followers as a
vocal group of malcontents attract
ing a lunatic fringe.

BASKETBALL


THE St. George Seniors continu-
ed their drive toward the division
championship by trouncing st Philo-
mena last weel; C1-16. The Sc
niors scoring spree was spanked by
frankie Guzauskas who tossed in
p points while playing only half
of the game. The boys have won
six straight games = two exhibit
tions and four league games. Now
they're the first placers in the Sc
Nor Division Of the C.YO. Basket
ball League.
st. Georges intermediate outfit
dumped st. Aloysius 2O-16 Mon
day night. That puts them in Sc
cond place in their Division.
The Juniors suffered through a
30-7 defeat at the hands of st.
Joseph B. They had the misfor-
tune of having three of their start
ing men detained on the way to
the game by transportation diff
culties. They finally got to the
game after it was half over. BY
that time it was too late.
BASKETBALL CARNIVAL
The St. George c. Y. o: is spon-
soring a Basketball Carnival on
Sat-, Feb. 1st. The Seniors will
play the Lithuanians from Dubois,
Pa. and the Intermediates will play
St. Peters of Akron. Rev. Ber-
nard Bartis, who until recently
handled St. George athletics, will
bring in his St. Peters boys to see
what they can do against his for
mer hometown outfit. Reports COM
ing in from Akron tell us that
St. Pete's has a powerhouse.
The first game starts at 1880
and AL Neuman will play for the
dancing after the games.

Our most important task from now until
the November, 1948 elections is to educate,
organize and register the voters who are OPP
posed to the Taft-Hartley bill, so that when
the time comes to vote, they will not only
cast their ballot but will know how to mark
it.
If our most important task now lies on the
political front, the most important work from
now on out is that which will be carried out
by the Political Action Committee which must
begin to organize in the wards, precincts and
townships and get ready for the detailed job
that must be done if we are to succeed in CIV
ing back the right answer to a Congress which
believed the last election a mandate to
handcuff labor.
There is very little of the spectacular in
doing real job for the PAC and working for
political victory in 1948. 1t means hitting the
neighborhoods, knocking on doors, polishing
doorbells, explaining position and seek
ing the support of the voters. 1t means per-
suading the people to register and convincing
them of the urgent need for voting after they
have become eligible
BEGIN NOW
Now is the time for the PAC to begin to
reactivate itself. The organization needs thou
sands of new members to make it really eff
fective and many additional workers to go out
into the field and handle the detail work of
getting out the vote. There is plenty of room
for everyone who has desire to help beat the
Taft-Hartley bill. Those who are doing such
good job of tearing down Mr.. Taft and Mr.
Hartley could do wonderful job If they
would put those words out in door -to-door
canvass of their own neighborhoods
While l agree with everything that has
been said about anti-labor legislation and re-
cognize the Importance of defeating every con-
gresham who voted in favor of the Taft-Hart-
ley BILL l also realize that we must transform
words into action and by a combination of the
two win the members and the support which
are necessary for victory next year.
/ want to urge everyone who has not al
ready done so to join the PAC now More
than this become active by accepting the
work which PAC will assign you. Go into the
neighborhoodS where you live and organize
the sentiment and do what must be done. If
we do this, and it must be done, we can be-
gin to hope for victory in 1948.

Local II UAW-CIO

Trying to convey information to others by
means of this column is in some ways quite
puzzling to me as l usually am wondering
whether or not anyone else may get the same
thought out of it that l am trying to put into
it. 1t has occurred to me on several occasions
that questions and answers might be more
helpful than any other combination of words
for expression. Accordingly here goes for
few questions and answers.
Question: What law guarantees you the
right to strike?
Answer: The 18th Amendment to the Con-
stitution, which forbids involuntary servitude,
that is, slavery
Question: What law guarantees you the
right to picket?
Answer: The 1st Amendment to the Con-
stitution, which guarantees you freedom of
speech.
Question: What is the National Labor
Relations Act?
Answer: It is law passed by Congress in
1898 which gives to the men and women who
work the right to organize into unions and to
bargain collectively with employers through
representatives of their own choosing.
Question: Does it deny free speech to
employers?
Answer: No. If it did deny free speech to
employers it would have been declared un-
constitutional by the Supreme Court because
the right of free speech is guaranteed in the
1st Amendment to the Constitution. The
Supreme Court has upheld the constitution
ality of the National Labor Relations Act
repeatedly.
Question: Is the National Labor Relations
Act one-sded?
Answer: OF course it Isl it was passed
because employers were not allowing work.
ers to organize It prevents this kind of inter- I
ference. 1t is sided just the way laws
against holdupS are one-sided. Laws against
holdups punish the holdupmen and don't carry
any penalties for being robbed, Naturally this
is so because they are designed to prevent
robbery The National Labor Relations Act
was written to prevent interference with the
elf-organization of workers by employers.
Question; What is the Norris-LaGuardia
Act?
Answer: 1t was law passed by Congress
in 1892 which said that federal court could
not interfere with peaceful picketing or legal
strike actions by injunctions before:
ID The court had full and open hearing
on all the facts
(2) The court was shown that local police
were unable to deal with any illegal vio-
lence.
(3) The person appealing for the injunction
showed that the damage he was suffering =
was greater than the damage that would be
caused by the injunction.
Question: What is wrong with that law?
Answer: Nothing It was passed because
before 1882 employers could actually go to a
federal court and get an injunction against
the men working in plant without the men
themselves having a chance to present their
side of the story.
If this helps to get my points across, I'll
try more of the same next week, however it is
going to be necessary that those who read this
column let me know their thoughts and
whether or not they have found these answers
lingering in their memory.
