Labor Report
by PAUL SIFTON
LPA Columnist

After years of beating off sponsors offering
bales of money or more time than they have to
SELL the big radio stations and networks have
become so prosperous and fat that they can
neither fight nor rum So they want protection
They also want to be excused from the vul-
gar business of broadcasting the political views
of every Tom, Dick and Harry in the 1948
campaign. They want free speech to be ra-
toned and issued only to professional poll
ticians. Hook this up with the prohibition
against political news and views in labor
papers and you have pretty thorough gag on
labor in the 1948 campaign.
The 1884 Communications Act declared
that the air belongs to the people, that radio
channels might be licensed for Six-month
periods and that each renewal should be
treated as an original application. No sta
ton or chain could ever build up vested in
terest by reason of previous licenses physical
plant advertising assets or the Vice-presldentlal
daisy chain that bothers Fred Allen.
Section of the White Bill would relieve
the FEC of the job of distributing radio serv-
ice on the basis of demand for the same and
would substitute the test of 'the needs and re-
quirements of the various communities AS
FEC Chairman Charles r. Denny told the COM
mittee this might be construed to mean that
the FEC should consider whether community
could support the proposed station, whether
it would cut the revenue of existing stations,
whether the old stations could drive the new
station out of business. In other words, the
FEC would have to step in to save the fat old
stations from free competition of the lean new
stations
Again, Section IL of. the White Bill would
make the FEC hold hearings on broadcast ap-
plications whenever "any person in interest
filed protest This is a net designed to catch
minnows. Big stations claiming interest
could tie up newcomers in long expensive
hearings and pile up cases that would take
years to process That would be just dandy for
the bigfat broadcasters

Director Region 2B, UAW-CIO

Passage of the TsftHartley bill this week
impresses me as being about the most un-
American act of which any Congress was
ever guilty.
We have listened to all kinds of explana-
tons by Mr.. Taft and other advocates of this
so-called labor control" bill, but not one of
them has been able to convince the labor
movement that this bill will do anything short
of destroying our freedom if its extreme
measures are enforced.
To my mind, the TaftHartley bill does
everything that every labor leader in the
country says it will do. 1t is step in the
wrong direction bill which is aimed, not at
correcting the abuses of which we have been
accused, but at placing the unions at the COM
plete mercy of the employers
We have been told that the bill would
equalize the positions of the employers and
unions in their relationship with each other,
yet, competent legal authorities advise us that
the bill is unequal and places inequitable bur.
dens on the workers.
NOT CORRECTIVE
We of labor say that the bill is not cor
rective piece of legislation and that the weak
ness of the Wagner Act-from the employers
standpoint and that of Congress anxious to
do the bidding of the employers-will not be
remedied because of the far-reaching and
unfair nature of the new law
1t is my personal belief that if the extreme
measures contained in the law are enforced
they will lead to unrest, dissatisfaction and
resentment which will spell loss of produc-
ton, larger number of strikes and return
to the old days when the labor unions had to
fight for recognition
How the new law will effect labor rela-
tions in Toledo do not know. 1t is my belief
that there are fair employers in this town
who will not attempt to use the law to their
advantage and who will use the machinery
which has been set up here for the settlement
of labor disputes, l am hopeful that we can
avoid lot of the situations which are going
to develop elsewhere, but l am doubtful If we
can escape all the effects which the law will
have in other places.
At this early stage of the law, it is difficult
to foresee what is going to come in the months
which lie ahead of us, My only regret Is
that Congress has made an error which can
only be corrected after the people of the
country change the political complexion of the
Congress.
l want to caution all the unions to follow
their leadership and not take any action that
is not sanctioned. Those who do so will be
playing into the hands of labor's enemies and
endangering the very life of the union.

THE COMMON DEFENSE
Test Of Americanism
BY REV. VIM. G. KEENAN,

There are people who talk 4
lot about human rights, but who
think of them as belonging only
to themselYes-or to their group,
race, or their religion. Others,
to their minds, are excluded.
A good example is found in
one of the current crop of hate
sheets which has on its mast
head the words Every indiyidu-
al has inalienable rights that all
Just persons must respect.
Sounds good. But, upon reading
this paper one finds that, in
the editors opinion. there are
people belonging to certain ra-
cial and religious groups whose
rights are not worthy of respect.
Every device, including doWa-
right falsehood, is used by this
writer to spread prejudice
against them. If he were be-
lieyed, how much opportunity
would they have to exercise their
rights? How much security
would they enjoy if he should
succeed in making them hated
as he hates them? What would
their rights be worth to them
if he could persuade enough
people to act against them as he
himself would do if he had the
power?
It is not enough to say that a
man is a patriot if only he
claims that he believes in inal-
ienable rights. For every sub
versive person - every fascist
communist, and anti-Semitc--
hides himself behind the Con-
stitution and pretends to be in
terested in saving America by
mounting the words of the Bill
Of Rights. That is common

CARELESS as to whether the faith

to being white in soul. This is
giving the green light to an ar

zen can advocate. That the

lowed this act is one of the

line which even Russia does not

RECIPROCITY
BY Everett r. cIinehy President National Conference
of Christians and LEWIS
For American Press AssoeiotionJ

There is a principle in human
relations as true as the physical
law that water boils at 212 de-
greeS Fahrenheit.
The spiritual law is this:
One can keep anything valu-
able only when others share it,
too.
What is true about economic
goods is true of political rights.
One can keep liberty only if
he gives liberty to others. No
one can long keep freedom of
worship, freedom of speech, free
dom of ballot and freedom of
press unless everybody is given
those freedoms, too.
This same spiritual law holds
in the realm of human relations.
Take the simple matter of hui
man trust. The man many pee
pie trust is a man who trusts
others, He who expects to find
good in others, will usually be
trusted well in return. It is the
strange, electric magic of good
ness, that it tends to attract
goodness toward itself
The virtues of kindness, mercy
and love are like that. too. Again
"he who would have friends
must show himself friendly"
A rabbi who is a friend Of
ours, Rabbi Samuel Goldman.
defines kindness as THE ina
bility to be at ease in the pres
ence of those who are ill at
ease" Anyone who wants to be
treated with kindness will re-
ceive tiff he works to the end

melted to them.
SO with the quality of mercy.
And so with human love.
When one looks at the fright
fully complex political and eco-
nomic problems facing the world
today, the primary step in their
solution is the exercise of this
spiritual principle.
So with interracial and inter-
religious situations.
A group that is unconcerned
about the treatment accorded to
other groups is. itself in peril of
mistreatment. A group that
denies justice to outsiders in
vites reprisals. To get justice,
you must give it. The AUTHORS
of injustice are as sure to suffer
in the end as are its VICTIMS.
That principle is the ultimate
source Of hope in the problems
of race relations. Not only is
1t true that you cannot keep
anything valuable unless othet5
share it, too, but positively
stated, it is just as true that if
you have something valuable to
give, and give it freely, you will
ultimately receive its equivalent
from those on whom you have
bestowed it. The constructive
contributions of any minority
group to the common good viii
win recognition in the end and
will call call forth from the
larger community of which it is
a part, the same qualities Of
friendliness and cooperation
which the group has evinced.

forced to bring Anna back home
by his relatives and then when
Rudolph, the son from Alabama
shows up, instead of being a hick
he is a gentleman who aspires
to be a college professor and Of
all things falls in love with Anna
who in turn falls in love with
him.

who played exhibition ball with
him in 1916. In this Montreal
grab bag this year, Hickey got
Robinson, who batted .349;
Tatum, 800, and Rackley, .3OG.
So the trio should be a decided
help to the Dodgers as utility or
reserve players.
SEEK MORE CATCHERS
Hickey is also gambling on his
infield at third and first. He
got away with it last year by a
miracle. Arkey Vaughn and
Cookie Lavagetto, two old war
horses, may turn the trick this
year at the hot corner. But it
looks as if a rookie whether it's
Robinson or someone else, will
see a lot of first base. 1t is I'M
fair to expect too much of Rob
bic" in his freshman year and
if he can hold down first base
steadily all year it will be a vast
achievement for him. He may
be switched at times and against
certain pitchers he may not play
at all. This will be fair enough.

Dodgers have the pitchers, in
Guiding Kirbie Higbie, Hugh

wards, one Of the games best
catchers. Brooklyn needs more
catchers so Hickey is developing
Roy Campanella at Montreal
this year after promoting him
from the Nashua club. Again
we stress the fact that Hickey
is building the Dodges as clav-
erly and as carefully as he built
st. Louis Cards.
The fast flying st. Louis Card
inals, world champions, are ex-
pected to capture the National
League race again this year with
q veteran club. But other teams
have been strengthened. Hank

wonders with the Boston Braves.
Hickey and Southworth are
