BIG TA1KIE-TALK1Es ON. LABOR DAY

The political battle for the Presidential
campaign will break loose on Labor Day
President Truman has been cruising up and
down the Potomac River on the Presidential
yacht, and from all reports he has been put
ting In full time writing memOrandums and
speeches which he will deliver-frst in De-
trOit on Labor Day; and then East and West
and North and South, and all-arOund-the-
place.
Governor, Dewey will open the Republi-
can campaign at about the same time. The
Taft-Hartley law is Truman's issue and he
will demand its outright repeal. Dewey will
defend that law. William Green, president of
the American Federation of Labor has al
ready denounced the new Labor Act as ''slaVe
labor legislation" Union labor bosses have
been using that same kind of an argument.
All of which goes to show that the Truman
forces are going hOt-fOOt to capture the labor
vote. On the other side of the fence the Re-
publlcans expect to get their share of the
labor vote.
Almost everything in the United States
is controlled by law, and therefore the labor
union issue just naturally conforms to the
established program of the Government to
provide ways to protect everybody engaged
In American industry, including employers
and workers and the public
The Taft-Hartley law is one wear old.
There is nothing to indicate that it has taken
any OF the rightful prerOgatives away from
labor unions.
The Presidents opinion that the labor
law has weakened the union movement isn't
very logical in the face of the fact that union
membership is greater today than it was
year ago. Mr.. Truman vetoed the Taft-Hart-
ley labor legislation last year, whereupon
enough Democrats Joined with Republicans
IN Congress to override the vetOes.
The record of labor unions, during the
past year is altogether favorable and the
Senate-HOuse- Committee known as "the
watch dogs" have made statements showing
that jurisdietiOnal strikes have declined near
the vanishing point in the past year; second
airy boycott has been decidedly less frequent:
and the fear that the new law would be an
invitation for management to make charges
against the unions has not materialized. AS
a matter Of fact management and workers
have found it easy to conform to the law.
President Truman doesn't seem to be aware
OF that fact as he made the unsupported
statement that the new law makes it more
difficult to settle strikes.
President Truman is putting his bigpest
hopes on rOunding-up the labor vote the old
way that President Roosevelt did in former
years.

The Lou DOWR
From Hickory Grove

In this land of the uneasy. being
normal is to have an emergency"
on our hands. Congress is being
called back. Uncle Harry SAYS he
needs a new 54 million buck steam
plant at IVA to bolster the water
power there-right away-can't
wait. But in other ports of the
country where SambO has not barg-
ed in and built a pOwerhouse-like
in Chicago, and New York, and Min
neapOlis, and New Orleans and a
1000 other places, nobody is hot
and bothered on account of a power
shortage. From what l can deduct.
from reading here and there, pow
er shortages are especially prevail
ent on Govt. jObs-like maybe in
the Orient where beriberi is pre-
valent or in Switzerland where it
is gOiter.
But maybe it is just the way
things went there in Philadelphia.
where the boys from Dixie just up
ped and walked out, leaving Uncle
Harry in dire need of an emer-
gency to get our minds off States
Rights, etc. And before going fur
ther with this learned essay, the
one and greatest thing this U. S. A.
needs to lower its fever and get it's
health and happiness back is to
bring our Govt. back nearer home
where we can watch things and
keep governmental fumididdles and
tinkering at a minimum.
Just keeping an eye on the local
mayor is big enough jOb-let
alone watching Congress 1000 miles
away.

LIQUIDATING THE MIDDLE CLAss


An economic review published by one of
the cOuntrys leading banks recently touched
on phase of initiation that must be given a
great deal more thought than it has received
so far. 1t said, Month by month, year by
year, people who have been considered, with
justice, the mainStay of our sOciety-the
great middle claSs-haVe been rewarded for
their prudence and self-reliance in steadily
depreclating coin. These are the people who
save for retirement, for the rainy day, for
family security, as best they can with the re-
sources at their disposal. They are the people
who responded most generously to the calls
Tor funds in the loan drives of the war emer-
geency. They are the people who pay most
OF the taxes. They are the people who pro-
vide wise leadership in community life all
through the country. 1t is a dangerous busi-
ness, In a free society, to grind them down,
take away their incentives, frustrate their
efforts toward security. ...
Back of this in1atiOnary trend are gov
ernment policies of spending, lending and
guaranteeing which, more than any other
single factor, have been responsible for taut
economy and for the Spiraling of prices. The
irony OF 1t is that so much of this spending is
pressed IN the name of social welfare and
liberalism Yet those who see in such spend
ing the menace to the security and freedom
OF the Individual are classed as reactiOnary
and lnsensible to humanitarian cOnsidera-
tiOns."
1t is sometimes argued that the enormous
commitments of the gOvernment-suc as
CnOse Tor military purposes and European
ald-make any worthwhile reduction in the
budget impossible. That is not so. The un-
paralleled magnitude of necessary spending
should cause the utmost intensifcation of eff
1ortS to cut unnecessary spending to the last
possible dollar. Why, to take one example,
should the government keep on pouring more
millions down the rat-hOle of sOcialized pow
er development when private enterprise is
eager and able to do the job with private
funds?
~, Again, how long will it take us to learn
that government which sets out to protect
the people against every exigency of living
IS a government going hell bent down the
road that leads to Unbridled imitation and
eventual dictatorship? Every tyrant comes
into power with speciOus promises of what
ne Will DO to help the common man." who
ever ne is. And once he gets power, the com
mon man becomes a slave.
GOVernment-inspired initiation. alOno with
all the other ills that it creates, is the most
lnsldlOus enemy of freedom that exists. The
economic liquidation of the middle class IS
just one OF the symptoms. All other classes
VIII get theirs sooner or later.

Southwest Grid Mentors
Halt Hand Shaking,
Free Speeches
BY Harold v. RatIiff
AP NeWsfeatures

DALLAS-Aimed at self-preser-
walton, Southwest Conference foot
ball coaches have made the follow
ing agreements:
1. They will no longer follow
the custom of meeting in the cen
ter of the field after a football
game and shaking hands.
2. They will charge a fee of S25
plus expenses to speak at all ban
Quets except those held by alumni
groups of their respective schools
or those held in the city where their
school is located.
The self-preservatiOn ideas be-
hind these moves are:
It's wearing and tearing on a
football coach to try to buck the
crowds that swarm onto a field at
the end of a game.
A fellow can eat himself into a
hospital and wear himself down
physically making all the trips and
delivering all the speeches demand
ed of a coach, particularly if he's
had a winning team.
Someone made the observation
that if those guys started charging
for their speeches they might find
their popularity on the wane. The
implication was that the fans
wouldn't want to have to listen and
pay too. That, however, is to be
discredited. Southwest Conference
coaches are good speakers and
make interesting observations.
But there is cause to wonder
what ones reaction would be if
some town that had no school in
the conference and no local alumni
to put on the banquet called and
said:
Now, Coach, we'd like to have
you speak at our football banquet.
We've invited Johnny WhOosiz. the
all-state back from Punkin Hollow,
as our special guest, and we think
with you and this big star both on
the program We'll have the best
banquet in the state. We're a little
short on funds but feel that it will
be worth your while to come here
since Johnny has been looking over
your school with the idea of per-
haps going there next fall"
We're not insinuating that the
coach might wink at the rule in
such an instance and make the
speech. 1t does, however, open up
an interesting speculation don't
you think?

country is found in the West North
Central States-MinnesOta, Iowa,
Missouri, the DakOtas, Nebraska,
and Kansas" says the Statistical
Bulletin of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Co. There the average
length of life expectation of life at
BIRTH in 1884 was 6523 years
for whit males and 1922 years for
white females.
These life eXpectancies are three
to four years longer than the Noun
tain States, which have the least
favorable record. The Mountain
States include Montana, Wyoming,
Idaho, Colorado, New Mexico, Ari-
ZOna, Nevada and Utah. The high
death rate among the large Span
ish-speaking population of Arizona
and New Mexico is mainly respOn-
Sible for this difference between the
two geographical areas.
At the age of As, men and women
of the West North Central States
still can look forward to the long
est life The expectation then is
27.56 more years of life for men,
and 1923 for women. At As, the
lowest expectation of life is in the
highly induStralized northwest, the
Bulletin finds. In the Middle Allan
tic States of Pennsylvania, New
York, and New Jersey, men of As
can expect, on the average, only "a
"A more years and women 1856.
Men of As in New England can ex-
pect 25.37 more years, and women
1882 years.
The best record in preventing in
FAINT mortality was shown on the
Pacific Coast. In the Mountain
States area, the infant mortality
rate was fully so per cent higher.
"The variation in mortality and
longevity from one area to another
undoubtedly arises out of a variety
of factoTs-differences in the gen
eral standard of living, degree of
industrializatiOn, density of pOpu-
latiOn, adequacy and availability of
medical and hospital facilities, eli
mate, ct cetera. An intensified effort
to reduce tine toll of premature
death in the less favored areas
would tend to equalize the mortali-
ty throughout the country at the
level of the best areas"
