Big Job Ahead

There is a strong inclination the part of Truman
supporters to count their legislative eggs before they're
Matched.
Many of them assume that the Congress will jump
the chance to enact into law the program the President
advocated during his campaign.
In doing this they making bad mistake. They
dscounng-or completely forgettng-the forces in Con-
gress opposed to various portions Of the Truman program
Don't get wrong We're not predicting that Congress
will toss the Presidents legislative plans into the ashcan.
Far from it,
We're merely saying that it would be foolish for the
voters who put the Democrats in power to ignore the real
tiles of legislative procedureto ignore the ancvi lber
ties bloc in Congressto ignore the need for reminding
of the lawmakers that they have mandate from the
people
1t is a reasonably clear mandate and the Democratic
voters should not permit it to become cOuded.
And it won't become couded if the "foks back home"
keep reminding the and women who elected that

Perhaps it's fear of being over-Optimistic (aS the
Republicans were) which to paint the slightly
dark side of the picture. There is another side

They Follow Vote Trends

Senators and congressman, with some notable eXcep-
tions swing in their thinking toward liberalism or con-
servasm the way that the electorate doeand this
bound considerable influence the 8lst Congress-
The Nov 2 election demonstrated strong swing to-
ward liberalism and strong swing away from the type OF
thinking which dominated the special interest lobbes IN
the last Congress.
And then there's that little business known party
regularity" which has considerable influence the law
makers.
One group of the liberal Republicans has ann
ounced that it will not be bound during the next two years
by the party regularity influence OF the COP Old Guard
Then there's good to believe that some of the
reaconary Southern Democrats will fall in line with the
Truman leadership
Add to these elements the fact that the Democrats
have control of the White House and both branches of Con-
gress and the picture looks good-mghty good-from la
bor's standpoint.

Good News

The u. S. Labor Department is announcing slight de
cline in the consumers price index This will be the third
successive month that the cost of living has not increased
That's good sign for everyone.
But it happened once before this year Last March this
cost of living index dipped slightly The newspapers
bosomed out in their biggest headlines and the
coumnss went to work to prove that all demands
should be Immediately withdrawn
Well those newspapers had hardly reached the trash
pile before prices started going again And they kept
right going and and and to where they are
now, at an all-time record peak
If prices held level for awhile stand chance
of making of the purchasing we've lost since

going to sacken fight for fairer share of the good
things of life for our families.

COP Will Try To Liberulize PurtY

The fight that will take place within the Republican
Party during the next few years likely to be bter
not nosy-as the battle which went this year within
the Democratic Party
Many of the Younger Republicans fed up with the
COP Old Guard. They said privately before the Nov
election. They're saying so publicly now.
This group feels that the Republican Party must be
beraized if it is to achieve real at the polls in
the future.
This feeling will exercise considerable influence in the
up-coming legislative session.
The bad trOuncng the DXiecras took will offer
aQement to Southern liberals and have ''sotenng up
effect Southern Democrats who behaved like Old Guard
Republicans.
1t will be an interesting show to watch.

FIGHT Must Go On

One big why labor must stay in politics and La
bors League for Political Education be continued given
in the leagues report to the Cincinnati AFI convention
Secretary treasurer George Meany said that 172 cand
dates supported by the league elected to the House
and 106 classed unfrendy defeated. This was
great labor victory but left much to be desired 225 House
members who voted for the Taftartey Act reelec
ed. Only 218 votes needed for majority.
The danger in this situation pointed out by Secre
tary Meany and Director Joseph d. Keenan, who said it was
possible of the TaftHartey supporters change
their attitude n the long never be secure until
have elected to both houses clear majority who will
stand by labors rights in fair weather and in foul.
This is why labor must keep up it's political campaign
particularly during the next two years looking forward to
complete victory in the 1850 elections.
