seems we have already won the
election now that Mr.. Truman has
taken steps to outlaw discrimina-

There are several reasons why
we are doing SO well in politics
in 1948. The credit is largely due
to the mass foresight of the Ne
gro worker. And not to III timid
compromising politicians.
For over 80 years we have
been moving steadily into north
ern industrial areas where we have
fought and won a place for our
selves in highly competitive and
individualistic industry.
Secondly we have overcome our
fear of the trade union movement
and support the CLIO and the AL
openly and heartily. This single
move has brought to our side as
comrades in arms literally millions
of white workers whose leaders
back up our demands for civil
rights.

contest. His camp says that If he
can win four or five delegates there
against Ohios foremost Repub-
lican-he will have more than justi-
fed the gamble.
Further evidence Of his acumen
lies in his failure to challenge Gov.
Dewey in New York and Gov. War
rem in California. He gave consid-
GRAFTON to both, but decided against,
knowing that the chance of defeat
ing either Of these Governors in
even a single delegate contest was
remote.
However, it has been Mr.. Stassen's
program always to force the fight
ing He realized he must be able
to show vote-getting strength with
the people. if the party leaders
who looked upon him as an inter-
loper-were to be won over. The
only way he could show such
strength outside of Minnesota was
to enter presidential primaries.
More than a year ago he announced
he was going into Wisconsin's pri-
mary, and later he said he would
enter the New Hampshire. Nebraska
and Oregon primaries.
Here again, he planned wisely.
Wisconsin is a neighboring State to
Minnesota. He was known there.
The business of selling Stassen to
the Wisconsin voters was begun in
tensively as early as 1946. A key
man in the effort was Victor john
ston, who came down from Mime
sofa to become executive officer of
the Tom Coleman Republican Or
ganization, with headquarters in
Madison.
Mr.. Stassen is of Norwegian, Ger
man and Czech blood. Both Wis
consin and Nebraska have large
groups of citizens Of similar blood
and blood tells.
If Mr.. Stassen can pick up some
delegates in Ohio and defeat Gov.
Dewey in the Oregon primary, next
month, this young man from the
West will be rated perhaps the
leading candidate for the presiden-
tial nomination. However, there
will be large number of hard
headed, uninstructed delegates In the

courage and political acumen. He
made up his mind early he could not
pussyfoot himself into a presidential
nomination. Hence this break with
Dewey-the man above all others
he had to beat. For in all polls of
public sentiment and OF expert $50
called opinion, Gov. Dewey was
given the best chance for the nomi-
nation.
Indeed, Mr.. stassen has become
the lone wolf of this preconvention
campaign. Not only has he offended
the Dewey camp, but he also has
had the timerity to challenge an
other outstanding candidate for the
nomination, Senator Taft, in his
own State of Ohio. Only last fall
Taft supporters were suggesting
.hat a tacit alliance between Taft
and Stassen was on the way-its
purpose to put block in the way
Of the Dewey bandwagon. Mr..
stassen politely said, however, that
he and Senator Taft did not see
eye to eye on many public questions.
Later he announced he intended to
give the people of Ohio a chance to
decide between the two and their
policies. When Senator Taft learned
Of Mr.. Stassen's intention to enter
the Ohio primary, he went late at
night to tell Mr.. Stassen he was
making a major mistake. Mr.. Stas-
sen went right ahead and filed
% delegate candidates in the Ohio
primary.
AS a picker or backgrounds, the
young Minnesotan is a real strate-
gist. He selected the congressional
districts in Ohio, where he believed
Senator Taft would be the weakest
Ill districts in all. He also entered
one candidate for delegate-at at-large,
hoping that this man could nose
his way into one of the seven at
large delegate seats to which Ohio
Is entitled. His candidate is Car
rington T. Marshall, former chief
justice Of the Ohio Supreme Court.
The decision to enter the Ohio
primary was not snap one. Mr.
Stassen coolly considered the gain
and cost to hts candidacy that
might arise from the results Of that

Typo Charges About Taft

Chicago (LPA)-Publisher Johr
S. Knight of the Chicago Daily
News didn't mean to, but nonethe-
less last week he substantiated the
Int'l Typographical Union-AFL's
charge that Sen. Robert A. Taft
(R., Ohio) put the heat on the
NLRB to push the charges of Taft
Hartley violation against the ITU.
Knight said that he was in Taft's
office when the Senator called the
NLRB and told board officials mot
to let dust gather" on the ITU
case. Taft, according to Knight,
"admonished the board to do its
duty" Strange as it may seem,
Knights article was designed to
clear Taft Of ITU charges that he
had improperly intervened against
the union with the NLRB.
Just two days later General
Counsel Robert N. Denham's office
proved that it is "doing its duty"
by launching contempt proceedings
against ITU in federal court.

Miners Official
Addresses 150th
Anniversary Meet

Cambridge, Ohio (LPA) - Re.
turning to this mining community
on its 150th anniversary, Secretary
treasurer John Owens of the Unit
ed Mine Workers told a Labor Day
ISesqui- Centennial rally that thru
the union "those dark, dank Siber-
las of the coal and steel country
have been transformed into Ameri-
can communities where civil liber-
ties prevail. New hope has been in
stilled in human hearts; new ener-
gies have been released. This Am
erican labor movement has been a
great reservoir of power, restrain
ed in it's use for sensible, sober
support of rational economic
order"
Owens told his longtime neigh
bors in Guernsey County that while
i am not here to advocate the can
didacy of anyone" that the mem
bers of Congress who voted for
passage of the Taft-Hartley law
SHOULD not by any yardstick mea-
surement of performance be re-
turned to office"
In blistering attack on the TIL
law, Owens said that "It relegates
the men who work with their hands,
whether in overalls or white collar
jobs, whether in mine, mill or fac
tory, to a status of second class
citizenship"
The same politicians who have
voted millions "to plant the seeds
of democracy abroad" Owens
charged, "voted to curb democracy
at home by the passage of the
NAM Taft Hartley act, which in
the end will shackle American
workers with an uneconomic, illegal
ball and chain"

had authorized their officers to
settle for them.
New and less drastic demands
were proposed by Local 907 and
approved by the members as the
basis for a strike settlement, as
the tie-up entered its third day,
but the strike is expected to be
hard-fought and long drawn out.
The last such walkout, in1946, last
