The Great Emancipator'' was
born in North Carolina.
Stories concerning Lincoln's
birth are legion and even his
greatest biographers fail to estab-

biographers ever produced any
authentic records of his birth there
except a fly leaf from a family
Bible, the entries in which admit
teddy we're all written at one sit

In the mountains of North Caro-
lima, there is a story which may
be something more than a legend.
According to those who sell it,
about the year 1905, a farmer by
the name of Abraham Enloe
moved his family from Rutherford
County to the upper reaches of
Ccona Lufta in what is now Swain
county. Besides his wife and child

making her home with the Enloes

name was Nancy Hanks, accord

The story goes that some two
years later Nancy Hanks gave
birth to a boy, which was rumored
about the neighborhood to bear a
striking resemblance to Abraham
Enloe. At any rate. its advent pro-
vided an unsettled domestic life

Won AIKEN Veto

Regardless what reasons lie behind
Governor Thomas Herbert's veto OF the
Van AIKEN anti-labOr legislation, he de-
serves the congratulations of all the work
ers of Ohio.
There is only one harsh note in the
veto, and that was the role reported to
have been played by Senator Robert a.
Taft in influencing Mr.. Herbert to reject
the bill. If the senior Ohio senator advised
Mr.. Herbert to veto the bill because it is
"unworkable," then it becomes obvious
that Mr. Taft is thinking in terms of poll
tics, in terms of votes, and in seeking to
retain Ohio in the Republican column for
the 194S presidential competition.
If the Van AIKEN bill is "unwOrkable"
as Mr.. Taft says it is, it would seem
strange indeed if the Taft-Hartley bill
isn't the same type of legislation described
by President Truman in similar language.
Can il be that Mr.. Taft is beginning to get
worried about his new law and realizes
that the Van AIKEN bill would add fuel to
the fire and surely turn Ohio back to the
Democrats in the coming national cleo
tions?
AS a matter of fact, and Taft's action
confirms this, the Republican party ale
ready is iittery about the coming presi-
Dental election, recognizing that the Taft
Hartley and similar anti-labor bills which
have been passed in the various states
have backfired and succeeded in forcing
the labor movement into a growing unity
for political action.
Ohio is key state in national politics.
1t has always been an important battle
ground in the vote gathering competition
between the two parties. Moreover, ii is
highly industrialized state whose thou
sands of workers have been antagonized
by the legislation which Mr.. Taft and his
party have succeeded in enacting into law
despite the presidential veto.
No doubt, political expediency had
much to do with Governor Herberts de-
cisiOn TO turn thumbs down on the Van
AIKEN bill. AT the same time, his action in
rejecting the legislation should serve no.
tice upon labor that the Republican party
is going to work TO win in 1948 and al
ready is pulling the strings to break up
the new-fOund labor unity occasioned by
the Taft-Hartley bill
We congratulate Mr.. Herbert for his
action, even as we see through at least one
of the motives behind it,

Protest TIUc Action

I read in the Journal where
the TIUC had refused to al
low Joe Sokol, representative
of the Communist Party to
speak at the TIUC hall. l
wish to call to the attention
of the readers the fact that
labor is now fighting to re-
store lost civil rights and to
save those we still have.
We are setting a poor ex-
ample in denying the basic
right of free speech to a
representative of a political
party. Our opinion of the
principles or lack of them of
his party has nothing to do
with it.
Either we believe in free
speech or we don't. If we do
not we are in an indefensible
position when our civil rights
are attacked as they are now.
We cannot fight comunism
by using methods condoned
by both communists and fas-
cists. ] do not believe in COM
munism. / do believe in free
speech. l cannot sign this let
ter as l work in a CIO shop
and do not want my position
to be misunderstood.

wonder how many people can remember
back a few years ago when President Frank
lin D. Roosevelt asked that more members be
added to the Supreme Court of the United
States. He was accused of stacking the court,
of flouting Democracy and defeating the
wishes of the citizens of our Country. II you
do remember the INCIDENT, ask that you COM
pare the present situation which seems to be
developing in connection with the TaftHart'
ley Labor Bill wherein the forces that con-
demned President Roosevelt are now promot'
ing larger National Labor Relations Board.
Can you imagine, the same forces who
did condemn this practice as proposed by
President Roosevelt now promoting 1t with
any decent Justification The proponents OF
this thought want to increase the National
Labor Relations Board from three members
to five members. At the present time two of
the three members are considered liberals and
one is considered to be conservative. 1t is
readily admitted by everyone watching these
maneuvers that the object of increasing the
Board to five is to allow two additional con-
servative members to be appointed to the
Board, thereby, making a three to two vote
on the Board on the side of the conservatives
Now I have spoken of liberals and con.
servatives Perhaps, so that few more people
can understand this, it should be termed the
Labor side and the Big Business or Capitalist
side of the Board Just few months ago, the
proponents of enlarging this Board succeeded
in cutting down the appropriation which was
to be allowed to the National Labor Relations
Board with which it could function. Now
these same people are out to increase the
appropriation to the National Labor Relations
Board, the aim and goal of which is to add
staff and offices out of which to administer the
strictly antilabor TaftHartley Bill to the
disadvantage of all organized labor and, there
by, tear down the standards and benefits
which have been achieved by the unorganized
worker indirectly from the action of or.
ganized labor.
If you as reader of this article are not
member of the Union think seriously on how
this is going to affect you too. 1t is certainly
time that the voting citizens of the Country
recognized the symptoms of the Boom" and
Bust economy facing us in the future The
Boom" period will undoubtedly mean good
times for everyone, but remember that the
Bust period will mean good times for a
very small minority,

Our Children

The following was Richard Gosser's
message in the Dedication Program of
Local 12'S Children's Summer Camp at
Sand Lake, Mich last Saturday.
To-day, as we meet at Sand Lake to
dedicate the new Local IL, UAW-CIO
Children's Summer Camp, we are deeply
aware of our responsibility to our children
and the children of our community. 1t was
this thought which moved us to embark
upon this project
1--WE of organized labor are greatly
concerned about the welfare of our COM
munities and our nation. We realize that
from the children of today come the men
and women of tomorrow, and we are fully
aware that the future of this nation de-
pends upon the children and how we help
them to develop themselves, physically,
mentally and morally.
1T is my belief and hope that the pos
sibilities of this camp which we have
established at Sand Lake will be realized
to the utmost and that il will be the means
Of contributing healthy bodies and clean,
sane minds TO the children who partici-
pate.
ITO those who have aided us finan-
cially, physically and morally, want to
give my sineerest heartfelt thanks. To the
Units of Local II, our sister CIO unions,
and to our good friends outside the unions
who have shown their interest and good
will in assisting us in establishing the chill
drens summer camp, l say that we are
most grateful.
"All of us who have played a part in
the establishment of the camp feel that
your presence here is a sincere cOmpli-
ment TO the ideals which moved us to be-
gin this work. More than this, we feel that
It signifies your agreement with these
ideals and promises your continued inter-
est in the future.
we are pleased to have our Interna-
tional and clio officers here with us to
dedicate this project, and we deeply APP
preciate their interest and cooperation in
helping us get our new activity away to
good beginning.
I'm the name of the officers of the
camp and on behalf of Local IL, want to
take this occasion to urge all of you to
come back here to visit after the camp Is
In operation. I'm sure you will enjoy it
and get a better idea of what we expect
to accomplish here"

About the other matter, the Toledo delega-
ton to the protest meeting in Columbus last
Sunday, Toledo has received the congratula-
tions Of the state CIO officers for its good
showing.
want to pay my compliments to the Spcer
Unit which not only chartered three busses
for the trip to Columbus, but which took any
one who wanted to go with them in their cara
van
The Spicer Unit deserves the thanks and
congratulations of every union member in To-
ledo for the fine spirit 1t showed in organizing
its group and making an effective protest. l
wouldn't want to 60 so far as to say that Gov
ernor Herberts veto was because of our pro-
test, but think that the meeting helped and
Spicer was powerful part of that meeting.
UNITY NEEDED
The spirit of unity which the Spicer Unit has
shown and the attention it attracted in Colum-
bus shows the value of unity among the work.
erS. I'm sure that there is more of this feeling
now than for some time past and / hope that
we can gain and maintain the unity which we
need and must have If we are to survive the
next few trying months
I want to thank everyone who gave up their
Sunday and sacrificed time in which they
could have been playing golf, or swimming, or
spending time at cottage or other recreation
to 20 to Columbus. Those who made this sac
rifice show real union spirit, because Sunday
was hot day when most people relaxed and
tried to find a cool and comfortable place to
take it easy.
At least the Van AIKEN bill appears to be
killed for the time, and we can now concen- :
trate on the Taft-Hartley law against which l
am sure we will show the same spirit of unity
of purpose.

For The Comp

Enclosed please find my
check for the Local IL Chill
drens Summer Camp. re-
gret that l can't give you a
lot more at this time because
! think the camp is the great
est thing that has happened to
the union since Local IL was
organized.
AS a former member of Lo-
cal IL / have always had lot
of respect for the work that
the organization was trying to
accomplish for the people of
Toledo. / know, and a lot OF
people now know, that the
union Is trying to do more for
the people of Toledo than get
ting wages, better working
conditions and other benefits
within the shop.
Opening of the unions sum-
mer camp for all the children
of Toledo regardless whether
their parents are union mem
bers or not, coming close upon
the heels Of the Taft Hartley
bill should be powerful re-
ply to those who have told the
public that the unions are just
rackets in which democracy is
at a low ebb.
Local IL has shown by its
action that the union is a re-
sponsible and important part
of our city and that 1t Is max
ing its contribution to the en-
tire community as well as its
own members. Congratula-
tions and best wishes to Dick
Gosser and the people who
had the Imagination and vi
sion to open new field of un-
ion activity.
Sincerely,
