pretty little girl and the boys
took great delight in pulling her
long curls l have been told
they actually did that in the days
when girls didn't know how to de-
fend themselves but to get
on with the story; Al thought
this was bound to be the girl for
him and he was completely spell
bound. That afternoon when he
went home, his mother could see
the stars in his eyes, but being
a mother, she ignored them .
after supper that evening, she
asked Al to carry the butter to
the ice-box, which was on the
backporch So, Al started
on his mission, dreamy-eyed and
signing. In fact, he was so car
ried away, he passed right by
the ice-box, went out the back
door, carried the butter in the
backyard and dropped it in the
garbage pail so now, Al,

Supreme Court
(ConfiHned From Page OHe)

the oaths requirement for the nego-
tiation of union security contracts.
So far as the union security Is
sue is concerned the same result
will be accomplished, however, by
the Slst Congress- almost certain
repeal of the TIL section which
demands NLRB polls for the legal
negotiation Of a union shop con-
tract.
TIL denies NLRB facilities to
unions which have not filed the al
fidavits, and in another section says
that union shops are illegal unless
voted by workers in NLRB author
ization polls.
The NLRB also voided section
of USA's contract with the Hager
firm which provided for IA eheck-oif
of union dues without requiring the
submission by individual workers
of written check-oif authorizations.
This clause violates still another
section of Taft Hartley, the board
said.

Labor Gets Credit
For Election OF
President Truman

New York (LPA)-Along with
the poIlsters, many ace political re-
porters predicted defeat for Pre-
sident Truman in last Tuesdays
elections. Now they're eating
crow"
One Of the most graceful jobs of
crow-e eating was done by NY Times
pundit James Reston. And he con-
cedes labor the credit for Nov. 2.
In by-line article late last week
Reston wrote that one of the
"principal elements" in the Presi-
dents victory was "the organiza-
tion Of a labor movement which ac-
quired strength from the middle
and the right by shedding the sup
port Of the theological left"
He added, in a letter to his paper,
"the small towns Of the country
had, during the war, become more
industrialized and therefore more
sensitive to the influences of or
ganized labor"
Describing the campaign routine
of the political reporter, Reston
wrote: ale spends his time inter
viewing the political managers, or
the other reporters, all Of whom
usually get their information from
somebody else and place enormous
confidence on the so-called scicnti-
fic polls"
"In short" Reston confessed,
eve didn't spend much time wand
ering around talking to people"
Just before the election the
Times analyst opinioned that altho
Truman was impressing his audi
ences with his own sincerity he
"did not convey to them the con-
viction that something really fund
is at stake in this cam
paign."

Better Business Bureau Backs Charges
That Automobile Dealers Gypped Public

New York LPA)-The Better
Business Bureau of New York last
week backed up the charges OF a
Congressional subcommittee that
automobile dealers have gypped
consumers out of millions of doll
ars thru fraudulent trade practices.
The committee, headed by con-
servative Rep. w. Kingsland Macy
(R., N. ", charged that in the
first seven months of 1913, in the
Washington, D. c., area alone, car
buyers were clipped to the tune OF
81 100000.

"vindication given to man with
so mediocre a record as President
Truman" will "tend to restore the
Democratic party as a thoroughly
unhealthy alliance of southern
bourbons and corrupt northern city
machines with liberal and labor ele-

party of their own"
While conceding that it is "prob-
able-but not certain" that Con-
gress will accede to Mr.. Truman's
demand for the repeal Of the Taft
Hartley Act, Thomas asserted that
"it is improbable that Congress or
the Executives in the Democratic

quately with the problems of
peace, the growth of militarism, or
the boom to bust cycle"

Wallace e-for- President campaign
over. the Communist party launch
ed this week campaign TO recruit
members into the CP itself. While
more and more trade unions are
moving against Communist intlu-
ence within their ranks, the Soviet

Worker, official CP organ, reveal
cd last week.
"Of course new difficulties exist
and redbaiting has infected some
workers" the Daily Worker con
ceded. "But," it added, "today's
intensified attacks upon the work
ers are multiplying the numbers OF
those whose own experience IS
teaehina them that our party pro-
gram is correct, and is arousing
their response to our call to strug-
gle"
"No attacks" the DIV claims,
"can prevent the growth of our
party, if we work correctly"
The party's goal, il says, Is ito
curb and defeat the all Street war
mongers and pro-fascists." Indus
trial workers are beginning to un-
derstand, the CP asserts, that
Capitalism is bankrupt and less
able to meet their demands with
anything but violence"
simultaneously with the drive for
increased membership will go the
reconstruction of the network OF
Communicated fronts" the DIV
makes clear. "Milions Of workers
not yet ready to join our party can
be organized 10 DIN in united front
actions and TO work with Commun-
lists in defense of their most i'm
mediate interests" the official
Communist daily hopes.
