"Hoppy New Yeor!"
Strength Of
Freedom
1A
5kNtSAEHSE
By Ruth Taylor

The first time l heard that
phrase it came from the lips
of one of the truly great elder
statesmen of the Labor move
ment. There was a lifetime
of experience in his tone
when he said, "We underesti-
mate the strength of free
DOM"
When he had learned in his
years of struggle to improve
the conditions of his fellow
workers, is the secret of the
power of democracy. 1t is the
vital spark of reserve power
that makes us sure of the ulti-
mate victory.
There is a hidden strength
to freedom, an innate power
which is invincible. Fearful
souls speak much of the
might of the forces of des-
potism. But all of these are
as nothing beside the strength
of freedom. Ere e d m has
powers beside which the pow
ers of armed might crumble
into their native nothingness.
There is a balance of power
in freedom because it is APP
plicable to all without regard
to class, color or creed. With
out equal rights for all there
is no freedom for any-no
liberty, just license to oppress
for the favored few.
IT'S MEANING
Freedom means the posses
sion of self initiative and the
exercise of the powers of de-
liberation. 1t takes courage to
be free, because it demands
the acceptance of duties as
we'll as of rights, but once
freedom is achieved, it gives
to its followers a satisfaction
not obtainable elsewhere.
Freedom is unafraid. Where
there is free speech, there is
a remedy at hand. Truth is
free and the lie need not go
unanswered.
A man who is free is
strong man. He is free from
the chains of hate or preju-
dice, from fear, selfishness
and despair. The man who is
free has learned to walk
alone, to think and decide for
himself. He does not lean on
others. He stands firm by
himself.
We have underestimated
the strength of our freedom.
1t is like the education of a
child. If a child has been
properly trained, he can be
trusted as an adult to make
correct decisions. Those who
have been trained to freedom
have the strength to use 1t
wisely. This is our salvation
as a nation. This is the CO.
hesive quality of democracy.

Ifcon Be Happy

Ut SQH Dc H0PPY
If the workers and plain people OF
America will unite on the three point pro-
gram outlined this week by UAW Vice
President Richard GOsser, the year l94o
can become happy one for all OF us.
What the UAW head said this week is
a clear statement of the program OF the
United Auto Workers for 1948, program
which. if il succeeds, will be one of labOrs
greatest triumphs.
The program outlined by Richard Cos
ser contains three points which are recOg-
nized by labor leaders and clear thinkers
as the answer to many of the most press
ing problems facing the American people.
They are:
1. Continuation of collective bargain
ing to secure adequate wages for the
workers.
2. Organization and development OF
the cooperative movement to protect the
workers wages from inflationary prices
and excessive prOfiteering.
3. Unification of the workers and plain
people into a strong and progressive pO-
liticaI movement having for its purpose
not only a negative program OF removal
from office of the enemies of the people,
but positive program of electing public
officials who are pledged to definite pro-
gram of Iiberalized social legislation.
Labor has already demonstrated its
ability at the bargaining table. 1t has in
creased wages, improved working condl-
tions and established the dignity of the
worker as human being.
What labor has accomplished at the
collective bargaining table, it has failed
to do in sufficient strength in developing
the cooperative movement. Despite this,
there already is a large and flOurishing CO.
operative movement in this country which
has repeatedly shown its ability to force
down prices and protect the workers
wages and living conditions from those
who seek to gOuge the consumer.
Politically, while labor has achieved
some little success, it has failed to break
down the lines Of demarkatiOn between
unions to sufficient degree to permit ef-
fective political unity. As a result, we
have the Taft-Hartley Act as federal
statute, while anti-labor legislation has
been enacted in many of the individual
states.
Obviously, labor cannot save itself or
advance its interests solely at the bargain"
ing table. That we now know to be fal-
lacy. Labor must concern itself with its
complete interests and not merely one
part. II cannot succeed by directing its et-
forts exclusively to the wage question
while neglecting its purchasing power and
political interests.
AS 194S unfOlds the program outlined
by Vice President GOsser and other union
leaders will take shape. Its success de-
pends as the UAW leader so aptly points
out, upon the amount of work that is done,
the ability of the people TO unite and their
recognition Of the interrelation of wages,
prices and politics.
If labor unites on the program set
forth, 194S can become a happy year and
prosperous one. II can be the first of a
long line of happy and prosperous years
for enlightened labor awake at last to the
fact that its welfare begins, but does not
end at the bargaining table.
