Filipinos Carry Many RevOlvers

MANILA, (P)-The Philippines council took note of the prevalence of postwar gun toters today by ad- vising:
 Pistols properly are carried in holster rather than tucked inside a belt or in a pocket.
 They are safer in holsters.
 It is much easier to draw a pis- tol from a holster.
 Pearl handled revolvers have become fashionable arms at night spots, and signs such as check your guns here" are as common as they were in the days of the Amer ican wild west.

today for the most severe test Tn its three-year history-an attempt to settle the Berlin dispute.
 On the assembly platform, France joined Britain and the United States in condemning the Russian blockade as a threat to world peace. Experts of the three western powers finished drafting the note to be sent to secretary general Trygve Lie for reference to the security council.
 Robert Schuman, French for eign minister, asked that the U. N. end the blockade because the three western powers have 'exhaustd every possibility of direct agree ment." Altho France is tradition ally opposed to rise of German power, he said, "a renewed Ger many must take her place in dem- ocratic Europe"
 Many diplomats feared the strain of the east-West dispute might crack up the United Nations.
 British foreign secretary Ernest Bevin's speech was sharply criti- cized in the Soviet press. Moscow newspapers charged he was trying to smash the United Nations. The Soviet newspapers did not say what Russia might do.
 The London Daily Herald, how ever, quoted Andrei Y. Vishinsky, leader of the Soviet delegation, as saying the Soviets will not "aban- don the United Nations"
 "We shall stay on and work to- gether with the other peoples of the world," Vishinsky was quoted as saying in an interview.
 The U. S. ambassador to Mos cow, Walter Bedell Smith, con- ferred with President Truman on the Presidents campaign train, and told reporters later that Amer ican-Soviet relations were "never more serious"
 In Athens, the Greek general staff reported new fresh firing on Greek army units from inside neighboring Albania. At the same time communist elements, being pursued by the Greek army, open ed counter-attacks which were re- pelled, a communique said.
 There was trouble on the Soviet Finnish border, Russia charged. The Soviets called attention to the Finnish foreign minister to alleged violations of the peace treaty. The Russians declared Finnish hunting societies had engaged in military activity"
 In Berlin, the Socialist newspa- per Telegraf repeated the declara- ton that communists of the Soviet l occupation zone are forming an | army of Red-indoctrinated Ger mans. The newspaper said the | army was being formed under the | guise of a police force.

any President in history. and
the majority of Democrats in

Republicans against labor on
nearly every issue.
The Democratic and Republi-

One World" peace policies of
Roosevelt and Willkie.' Through
their Truman-V andenberg doc
trine, their huge war expend1-
lures, their draft and their dis
criminatory foreign relief poll
cies, they have launched mad
drive for Wall Steet world
domination, which theatens to
provoke another world war.
Against these disastrous BIZ
partisan policies of repression,
depression and war, the plain
people of America are rising in
revolt. From the grass roots up.
they are building new kind of
party-a party of, by and for
the rank and file of working

Wallace: Lobor IS on
the bes1Iof this time
BY HENRY A. WALLACE

nN this Labor Day, the
" working people of Amer
lea face political choice of the
deepest significance. It is a
choice between supporting the
two old parties of Wall Street
and building a new party Of
labor and the common people.
The Democratic and Republic
can parties are captives of Wall
Street and the big corporations.
They have shackled labor with
the Taft-Hartley law, voted by
a majority of both old parties.
They have destroyed price con-
troll and unleashed an initiation
which has cut the value of the
workers dollars in half and
which threatens a disastrous
depression.
They have failed TO provide
homes for the homeless. an ade-
quafe minimum wage for the
underpaid. decent pensions for
the aged. and American stand
ards of social security for all.
They have failed TO protect the
civil rights. of mincrities. and
instead have launched witch
hunts which threaten the demo-
cratic liberties of all Americans.
Their lax and other special
favors TO pfofiteers have been
as noteworthy as their assaults
on labor's rights and living
standards.
THE only distinction between
the two old parties is that
Dewey and his Republicans
brag of this record, while Tru-
man and his Democrats make
professions of liberalism that
are belied by their acts.
Truman has issued more
sfrikebreaking injunctions than

represented an 80 increase over
the first quarter of 1947. 1t
marked a 1919 increase over the
last quarter of 1947. The con-
tinued increase of 1913 profits
took place in spite of Slight
drop off in total sales for the
reporting companies.
Corporate juggling of books
conceals big share OF current
profits. Hence it was significant
to note that the FTC-SEC re-
port also indicated considerable
increases in net working CAPT
tai, inventories and stockholders
equity.

Lobor got red herring In 81 TOO!
Just as in 1948, the labor


j haters were on the ram
page when workers marched in
the first Labor Day parade on
Sept. 5, 1882.
Hounded-by corporation spies,
blacklisted when they tried to
organize, members of tn e
Knights of Labor had to meet
secretly to plan their cam
paigns.

THE Central Labor Unions
answer to the Taft artleyites
of that day was a Labor Day
march down the city's most
fashionable highway = Fifth
Ave. The action sprang from
a suggestion of Sec.- Treas. Peter
J. Mcclure of the Bro. of Car
penters & Joiners, who urged
that "a day should be set aside
as a festive day (for) a parade
through the streets of the city"
The bosses threatened to fire
workers who participated. But
more than 10000 bricklayers,
freight handlers, typographers,
painters, blacksmiths, cigar
makers and others lined up for
the march. Labor Will Be
United" Strike With The Bal
lot," were slogans of those
workers, who even then saw the
need for independent political
action.
The demonstration was ZAP
plauded loudly by the spectators
who thronged sidewalks along
the route" the New York Her
