Can loft Win?

Current speculation about the identity
of the 1948 Republican candidate for the
presidency prompted the UNION JOUR-
NAL, to ask some of the workers of Toledo
this week if they believed Senator TAFT
could carry his own state in the event that
he should be nominated.
To a man, the ones questioned ex-
dressed sincere doubt that Taft could
carry his home state because of the labor
opposition occasioned by the reaction OF
the workers to the Taft-Hartley law.
While we must recognize certain
amount of partisanship on the part of all
workers against one of the sponsors of the
Taft-Hartley BILL there are other and
more important reasons why Taft cannot
carry his own state. These reasons are
known to MIR. Taft who is an astute poll
tician. They are the reasons why we be-
Iieve that Mr.. Taft, much as he might de-
sire to be President will not run next
year, but will use his power, prestige and
influence to name the one who will r.
the race.
If Taft cannot be king, he certainly
can and will be the king-maker, if the
COP candidate should be lucky.
We believe that Mr.. Taft himself gave
the clue to the state of his presidential
hopes when, in the course of his speech
in Columbus last week, he congratulated
the Republican congressman who had
placed party above self. This is plain
enough talking for us to conclude that Mr..
Taft was sounding the political death
kneII for many Republican representa-
tives whom he realizes will fail to win re-
election next year, as well as a confession
that he has no hopes to win next years
election.
No doubt Mr.. Tafts trip through the
West will not only be for the purpose of
sounding out sentiment relative to his
candidacy, but more important, to discov-
er the one candidate to whom he can
give his support with a reasonable hope
of success.
So far as we are concerned, we hope
that MIR. Taft will be the Republican
presidential candidate, but our hopes end
there. We are afraid that we will be
forced to wait for him to again run for
the Senate, if and when.

From The Desk
of
Melvin Schultz
President
Local y UAW-CIO

The world today seems to be full of more
turmoil, both at home and abroad, than at any
time in the past even during the war years.
1t probably is pity that the flying discs did
not turn out to be real and that they consti-
tuted machine from some other planet.
The knowledge that other planets in our
universe are inhabited and constitute threat
to the people of our world is probably the
only thing now remaining that would make all
men stand together to help each other. ~
On the home front, we find the Taft-Ha.SJ
ley labor bill passed and certainly this bill is
not labor bill, but rather bill designed for
the benefit of minority group of financial
barons. 1t has created more i'll feeling than
any other measure which have known of in
my span of life, including the vote of our Con-
gress to declare war upon two different occa-
sions This feeling exists before the machinery
and red tape connected with its administration
has even been fully decided upon. After be-
coming ensnarled in the legal technicalitieS of
the bill and finding victims have been made
of any number of honest American union
minded citizens, the division of the ranks of
the citizens of our country will probably be
widened many times over.
This division, of course, is only symptom
for q future major depression and then an
other world war
In my opinion, this coming Labor IGy
should be a mass demonstration in protest to
the future outlook for the people of our
country and everyone who must work for a
living should participate actively in this dem
onstration to impress all those people whose
foresight is practically nil that they should
wake up to what is going on around them
May urge you most emphatcally to par
ticipate in the Labor Day parades.

In many ways, the Third Annual CIO
Baseball Night proved to be more successful
than ever before and I want to thank every.
one who contributed in any way to its success
To those who sold tickets, as well as those
who purchased them; those who donated tick
cts for the children as well as the ice cream,
popcorn and peanuts; the entertainers the
members of the various Flying Squadrons
the Toledo Baseball Co., and all others who
aided us, want to say thanks million.
If l could do so would personally thank
everyone who played their part in making
the evening the success which it was but do
want to pay my special thanks to our UAW
CIO women who did such an outstanding job
in the shops and by their fine cooperation and
spirit of helpfulness made one of the finest
contributions the women of the union have
ever made to any union undertaking
GOOD CAUSE -
Everyone who helped seemed to be moved
by one strong desire, and that was to aid the
Local IL Children's Summer Camp. We all
seem to be of one mind when it comes to the
Summer Camp and have fortunately struck
upon something on which we can all unite to
aid the children of Toledo to develop into
good and useful citizens of our community.
feel very hopeful about the future of the
Sand Lake project when I see the spirit shown
by the men and women of our union. can see
that they have the welfare of their own chill
dren and the other children of Toledo at
heart and are willing to do everything in their
power to help get the most from the camps
possibilities.
1t is my hope that everyone who helped
with the baseball game will make it point
to visit the Local IL camp sometime betwee
now and the end of the summer and see for
themselves that their work was for one of the
finest things we have ever undertaken.
1t is also my hope that the same fine
spirit of cooperation will continue on other
matters which will aid the camp to continue
the work which it had started this summer
Again thanks to everyone for their support
and fine efforts.

In Defense
Of Idealisrn
by Ruth Taylor

There isn't one of us today
who does not fully realize
that Organized Labor, if it is
to continue to survive, has to
do a better job in its public
relations. We have talked
over ways and means; we
have worked out techniques
and methods; we have consid-
cred what charges should be
answered and what should be
ignored; and we have threshed
out what to do and what not
to do.
But unfortunately there has
been one important point we
have been too "het up" to
give its proper place-and
that Is the idealism which is
the basis of the Organized
Labor movement, and which
must be back of and In all of
its public relations. AS Father
Boland once said-"The La.
Dor Movement isn't just a
matter of dollars and cents,
important as that is today. 1t
is something far bigger. 1t is
the unity Of men for the good
of man."
Our n ration was formed
when people of diverse ma.
tionalities and traditions drew
together because of belief
in the basic ideal of freedom
and equality for all. But
these freedoms are not for
one group, or for one class, or
for one creed, or for one col.
or. They are for all the peo-
pies Of all the earth. No man
is truly free unless all men
are free.
COMMON GOOD
Our unions were formed
because men of different
backgrounds and faith agreed
to work together for the good
of all. AS union members we
today have a traditional ideal
of brotherhood, of the volun-
tary cooperation of workers
to raise the status of all work
ers, regardless of creed, or
class or color, Those who join
a union do not join it just for
what benefits they may re-
ceive as individuals, but, in
their very oath of member
ship, they take on the respon.
sibilities of unity the &C.
cepance of the burdens of
others, the will to work with
and for their fellow men.
Go back over the history of
both the movement and the
nation. When the ideals have
been a d dhered to, both the
movement and the nation
have grown. The Labor Move
ment without its ideals Is like
a government without a prin-
ciple. Unionism whether it be
of nation or q group MUST
have its high purpose ever be-
fore 1t.
Idealism is not an escape
from reality. Idealism is real.
ity-for only as we look up
ward, only as we climb up.
ward TOGETHER, can we
permanently realize any of
our hopes of q better way of
life for ourselves as a union,
or for ourselves as a United
States in world of United
Nations.

UNITED LABOR

Attempts which are again being made
to bring about united Labor Day Parade
of all Toledo unions would, il successful,
serve notice to the enemies of labor that
labor is stronger force to be reckoned
with than ever before.
We do not know if such a united dem
onstration of labOr's strength can be ac-
complshed because we do not know if all
the leaders of labor are big enough to rise
above the smaller considerations and for
once show the people of this city the great
strength which labor possesses.
We do know that the rank and file of
Toledo labor unions, AFL, CIO, MESA,
Railroad Brotherhoods, Telephone Work
ers and all other unions are highly favor
able 10 the idea. Almost to a man they
are for unity, if only on this one day to
show their solidarity with their fellow
workers. While we recognize that what
occurs on the top of the various unions
affects what occurs in every part of the
country, we have difficulty in accepting
the premise that because there is disa-
greement between the heads of the various
unions we must all go about disliking each
other and refusing TO cooperate even in
matters which affect the interests and
welfare of the entire labor movement.
We sincerely hope that all Toledo
unions will forget the differences which
have existed here and elsewhere in the
country and unit this Labor Day in giant
demonstration against the common enemy
who, when it comes TO working out on
labor, recognizes no jurisdictional lines.

Hartley wasn't the only man who was
frantic recently His fellow-R Republican from
New jersey, Chairman j. Parnell Thomas, of
the House Un-American Activities Committee,
went nearly hysterical under the tension of
waiting for a veto decision. Suddenly one
afternoon he shricked for an FBI investiga-
uon -- his life had been threatened somebody
was going to kill him. The FBI rushed up
10 Capitol Hill as though they were the good
guys In wild western chasing the Indians

anonymous note. They looked at the note and
looked at Thomas. Then they went back down

An Appeal in Behalf
OF The Wi,berforce
Carnegie Library
Dear Friends of Wherefore I'm

Dear Friends of Wherefore Uni
versity:
Wilberforce University is uni
que educational institution which
belongs 10 the American people
and, for all of that, to the world
at large
For over ninety years it has
served the American nation pre-
pairing men and women TO fun
elton intelligently within III e
framework Of the American de-
mocracy, as useful citizens and
upright members of the social
echos
Wilberforce University is not
just another institution Of higher
learning for American Negro
youth II is not the property of
the A. M. f. Church alone. al
though ii has been operated for
these years by that particular de-
nomination of Christendom Will
berforce University is a cultural
heritage handed down from yes
teryears by the Founding Fathers
10 the American people of today
The history, the very culture,
and even the life of the American
people would have been different,
if Wilherforce University had new
er existed. We cannot abstract
Wilberforce University out of the
stream Of American history and
institutionalism without greatly
impoverishinC that history
Because of these unacceptable
facts, l, rs acting President Of
this ancient and proud and useful
institution feel no conjunction Of
spirit as l make this appeal TO
the public in behalf Of our Ii
brary.
All OF us are interested in re-
gaining our accreditalion in the
North Central Association. A nee
essary step in this direction is the
immediate rehabilitation Of our
Library which has been depleted
as result Of the separation OF
the State College of Education end
Industrial Arts from Wherefore
University.
While my appeal is made TO all
lovers of knowledge and the free
dom which the knowledge Of
truth bestows, yet in a more d.
rect manner is my appeal made TO
the churches Of the nation. re-
gardless Of denominational differ
entiations,
Before I submit the proposed
plan under consideration, let NE
say a word in explanation of the
cause for making this appeal
The State OF Ohio appropriated
a yearly sum TO be expended for
books in the area Of education
Other books were purchased from
student library fees IN the allo-
cation Of these student fees for
