PRESIDENT URGED
TO- TOUR NATION
Ma tional Committeeman
Proposes Political Swing
Before Campaign

WASHINGTON, July 9 - ~
President Truman is being urged
by officers Of the Democratic Ma
tional committee to make a ma
tionwide tour around Labor Day
as a preliminary to the 1948 cleo
ton campaign, but has made no
commitment.
Party leaders made this known
today coincident with a visit to
the White House of members Of
the national committee and state
Chairmen from six Southern states
Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas.
They said the suggestion for a
cross-country swing did not come
up today, but had been preached to
the Chief Executive several times
over the past several weeks.
The President, however, did re-
ceive an invitation to visit Texas
from Myron G. Blalock, Demo-
cratic national committeeman
from that state. He responded
only with asmile and a thank you
to Blalock's statement that, most
Texans would like to see and
hear him in person from the pro-
verbal rear platform.

Party chiefs said the cross-coun-
try trip, If made, could begin with
a bang at Chicago where 1t has
been suggested the President at

radioactive element to become
known to society. He was APP
preached by the chemical car
telists in the early nineteen
hundreds, and was offered
great wealth for the privilege
of permitting the private pro-
duction and exploitation of ra-

Such is the course of events
that, not very long thereafter,
when the Curie Institute was
formed in order to study the
effects of radio-activity, the
Curies were too poor to afford
radium to be used in their
work. 1t had to be purchased
for them through popular
subscription fund, into which
many American scientists gave
their dollars, SO that the Insti-
tute might continue its. pion-

To obtain this material it is
merely necessary to show a
need, or a potential use for the
material, in research project.
THE Curie Institute is in
Paris. 1t has asked for some
of this material. The request
was made many months ago.
To date nothing has been done
to fulfil the need. The Eng

are having great difficulty in
obtaining similar materials.

From the moment that the four page

its obvious hatred for the people.
On January 80, 1947, the Tribune, in
a signed story by Col. Mccormick, pro-
posed that we ship mongrel dogflesh
to feed the hungry people of Europe.
On July IL. 1877. the Tribune pro-
posed solution for, the unemployed
problem. Put a little strYchnine or
arsenic in the meat and other supplies

This paper applauded the work of
the police when 10 strikers wire killed

the railroad strikes of 1877 editorially
approved the police plan net TO fire

Although this was the party of Lin
coin, Medill himself was entirely with
out sympathy for the humanitarian
ideals of the Emancipation.
In Battle for Chicago, Wayne An
drews describes him as follows:
sFilled with indignation at the sight
of European immigrants overrunning
our country. MediH made himself the
champion of the Know Nothing doc
trine that America belonged TO the
Anglo-Saxon Race. and whenever
laboring men organized to offer their
living conditions. scented a conspir-
acY of the foreign born against the
American way of life."
MOREOVER. he dreamed of am Amer
lean empire. He conceived of wars to
conquer Canada and Mexico. And the
Civil War, to him, was a means for
turning the South into a colony of the
North.

troops who hate her. How easy for us
to hold the South with black troops
who love the north and are devotedly

In later years, this same Tribune was
to be linked with the Ku Klux Khan
under publisher who expressed even
more forcibly the doctrine of aryan
supremacy.

The pools are open from 1900

THE SAVING to Chicag,

under public ownership would
be tremendous. An idea can be
gained from comparison with
ether cities.
Los Angeles, Calf, with a
population of one and half
million is the closest in size
to Chicago of the 1871 Amer
lean cities which now enjoy
low-cost power under munich
pal ownership.
In the II years since Los An
geles decided to operate its
power system for the good OF
the people, consumers there
have saved more than $1l, 000,-
900 in electric bills!
In addition, the municipality
owned power system continued
to pay the same taxes that the
monopoly had previously paid
to the city.
In Los Angeles, electric rates
are far lower than the rates
you pay in Chicago. Public own
ership paid off in dollars and
cents, as it could here.

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP al

helps to build a better life for
low and middle income groups.
The cheap electricity avail
able under public ownership
enables fuller use of the labor
saving devices and luxury items
which use electricity-radios,
refrjgerators, ashin ma
chimes and scores of others.
The average residential and
rural USE here was only 1885
kilowatt hours in 1916. Con-
sumers used two to three times
more electricity in cities enjoy
ing public ownership = 3,640
kilowatt hours in Tacoma,
Wash, and 3,246 kilowatt hours
in Seattle, Wash, just to cite
two examples.
In short, public ownership
of power production and dis
tribution helps the people, and
curbs the power of reactionary
monopoly capital.
Public ownership results in
cheap electricity, wider use of
electricity by the people, and
better conditions for the work
ers in the power industry.

is Los Angeles, with its saw
ing to consumers, an exception
to the rule? Statistics prove
otherwise. A publicly-owned
power system completes with a
private utility in Cleveland, o.
Rates charged by the public
utility are far lower than those
of its rival-and public owner
ship in Cleveland has meant a
saving of $50,0O0,000 to users
of electricity there, according
to city officials!
Likewise in Chattanooga,
Tenn, where the city paid off
utility bond debts, cut rates by
so per cent, and saved $16,000,-
900 in six years. The entire cost
of purchasing the power system
there was lower than the saw
ing.
LABOR collectively, as well
as individual workers who pay
electric bills, has a stake in
public ownership.
The International Brother
hood of Electric Workers (AFL)
which represents a majority of
Commonwealth Edison employ
ees, has given support nation
ally to public ownership as a
matter of principle, because of
the better wages, shorter hours,
and improved working condi-
tons prevailing under munic-
ipally-owned power systems.
In other words, the monopo-
lists who own the power sys-
tenn, and the top executives
who manage it for them, take
the gravy under private own
ership. The workers and other
consumers enjoy the benefits
of public ownership.

BY BILL CARR

You paid at least $3.50
too much for electricity last
year!
You could have aved
that money-but the power
monopoly took it from you
in profits.
The Commonwealth Edi-
son Co. and its subsidiaries
ran up profits amounting
to $26,275, SAG in 1916 after
paying all taxes.
Spread over an average of
1888 electric customers,
that means that each customer
paid $17.59 and a fraction more
to line the Golfers of the mo-
nopolists who control the power
system. From that figure you
can estimate what Common
wealth Edison has taken from
you in the so years of its fran
chise.
And that figure does not in
elude the huge salaries paid to
senior executives of the COM
pany and reserves" which
mean hidden profits.
HOW could you have saved
$3.50?
By public ownership of Chi
eago's power system!
The City Council utilities
committee is now considering
what action to take when the
Commonwealth Edison fran
chise expires Sept. II. One of
its alternatives is to renew the
franchise under which the city
permits Commonwealth Edison
to drain profits from your poe
textbook.
Another alternative o u d
save that $3.50 for you: public
ownership. If the city were to
operate Chicago's power sys-
tenn, your electric bills would
be a third to half lower than
they are now.
The profits now reaped by
the lcwer monopoly would go
to you In the form of lower
rates.
