A large group of business and indus
trial leaders is out TO smash the unions,
and statements to the contrary simply
don't make sense in the light of what's
been going on over the country lately.
Oh, sure, they'd be willing to tolerate
worker organizations called unions" if
these organizations behaved themselves"
and didn't ask for anything management
wasn't willing to grant.
They say--in print, at leaSt-that they
are in favor of responsible" unions but
when they define responsible" you learn
that what they really want is a union set
up without power to enforce just de
mands.
The battle against unions, which nearly
halted during the war; has just begun
anew. The objective is the same as ever,
but some of the techniques are ney.
One of these is trying to sell the public
the idea that the unions are to blame for
initiation.

Tell Them
Or Sell Them?
By RUTH TAYLOR

When l was first starting to write i was
given a piece of advice by an old-time news
paper man one of those curious individuals
who shaped the affairs of cities rather than
just reporting the news
He said: when you write, you can do one
of two things. You can tell them or sell them.
But never think you do BOTH"
Labor stands at the crossroads today. 1t
must decide whether it is going to tell them or
sell them.
Do you want to tell them? Then 90 ahead
and point out the inanities of statements, the
stupidities of logic, the utter inefficiency of
your opponents. Play up in satric phase their
shortcomings, their personal mistakes, their
bad records Plaster yourself with whitewash
and paint them black with tar. 1t doesn't make
any difference who your opponent is. You can
do it - for no one is perfect
But now that you've told them where
did it get you? Sure, you've relieved your own
temper-but you've made them mad, and the
mud is going to start coming your way, and
brother, are you sure you can take what they
will dig up? Are you sure your plaster won't
crack? And as for the general public - we'll,
you've watched a fight and weren't your
sympathies with the one who had to fight
back? Tell them if you want to - but it
won't get you anywhere.
Why not try to sell them for a change?
Dig out the facts - but let these facts be the
for the community as a whole. The strong
stand Labor has taken on forward looking
legislation for all the people. What Labor has
done to open face the problem of discrimlna-
ton and figh ht it inside its own ranks The
stand Labor has taken toward the unfortunate
and the downtrodden in all nations What
Labor has done to promote free education, to
give equal opportunities to all.
You have the story Drive it home in mea-
sured speech in cogent phrase, in facts. Back
this up by acton And you will find that the
people, who, fortunately, do not know the
truth will listen and think it over, and ask
questions and remember when the day of
reckoning comes You will build base of COM
mon understanding. You will show the COM
mon denominator of belief and of desire tor
the betterment not just of Labor itself but
of all the people.
AS you SELL you will learn your own worth
. and your own strength. You will build yourself
as you build for the Labor Movement. And
while you are about it
DON'T FORGET TO REGISTER!

Port Of Drive Against Unions

The little "the unions are to blame"
gimmick is part of a widespread campaign
to discredit unions and to make them
weak and ineffective. 1t could prove as
effective a weapon as the Taft-Hartley
Act so don't undersell it.
The average non-uniOnist doesn't under
stand or appreciate the bad features of TIL
But he understands and appreciates
each new price increase and gets hot
under the collar every time one is put into
effect.
Suppose he can be prOpagandized into
believing that the uniOns-which the TIL
Act weakens-are responsible for these
price increases.
Suppose he can be convinced that to-
days Outrageously high profits are a
natural result of initiation and not its
major cause.
And suppose he can be made to believe
that these profits are not, unreasonably
high.
Wouldn't he then be likely to throw his
political support behind those who want
to place further curbS on the union? OF
course he woodland you couldn't blame
him much if he did.

union officer is no bigger than his mem
bership. That is a good phrase to remember
and one which has been tagging behind lately
because too many union members are getting
lax in attending their union meetings.
There certainly not be a reason for a
member not able to find time to attend a meet
ing for that is where the mandates are made
up and followed up in the shop by the union
officers.
Every decision made in plant regarding
personal problem stems from union meeting
If any decision is made against an individual
he or she has the prerogative to bring the
problem up at a membership meeting for a
final settlement.
One of the reasons arrived at for the small
attendance is that too many of the workers
are forgetting the struggle of the union for
better wage increases and working condi-
tions.
Usually after an agreement is signed in
shop, someone sooner or later begins to howl
The question is where was that member when
the agreement was read off at the meeting and
the officers asked for suggestions or discussion
before agreeing to any type of settlement
Well, that goes for many shop problems
q
settled satisfactorily should not go around the
plant spoutng off how he or she was the vic
tim of injustice. Attending union meeting
could probably have the membership give
final answer to most any problem not con-
cluded by union officers to party's satisfac-
ton.
Usually following the Unit meeting the
morning topic is taken over by arguments as
to what transpired at the meeting the night
before. And it happens time and time again
with the one being absent given out hearsay
details which likely were overheard in bar
room. You can only be posted on union an
swers to problems by attending union meet
ings.
To those who have been and are active in
the union 1 would like to say Keep up the
good work" The members who have neglected
to attend union meetings l appeal to them to
take more inerest in your union and keep it
up because it was job to get what we have
today Many a storm was weathered to achieve
our gains in having a union shop, decent
working conditions and wage increases to at
least meet halfway the rising living cost under
the present reactionary Congress.
The trying times of today should get the
membership active and their interest in the
union was shown by the votes for union
security. 1t really is gratifying to see the ma
jorty of people voting against the Taft-Hart-
ley Law. With that answer already in, the
members should follow up by getting necessary
and vital information about the back door
tactics to take away the gains we fought for
so many years. We all should be prepared to
answer the vicious laws by being prepared and
to do that we must attend union meetings to
be informed of latest details.

1t looks as though the law
makers in Washington that
are to represent the people of
the United States, are there
primarily to represent the
Russians. Or could all this be
to stir up the people to believe
that the democratic party, or
at least the people that Roose-
velt held in his confident are
in cahoots with the Russians.
/ heard a couple of men on
the buss the other day dis
cussing this situation and they
actually think that Roosevelt
sold us out to the Russians.
Well at least it puts us to
thinking as to just what was
going on in Washington now
and during the war, ! do not
think that Roosevelt sold us
out, as these men seem to
think but l do think thit it
was Roosevelt's good will to-
ward the Russians that pre-
vented us from fighting a war
with Russia, if Roosevelt had
lived this situation would pos
sibly have been avoided be-
cause Roosevelt was a leader,
a great leader and l don't
think that there ever was or
ever will be as great leader
as Roosevelt.

share of this propaganda is
Just a lot of publicity to make
things a little easier on the
Mrs. Bentley, that claims
these things to be true. All in
all, these communistic affairs
must be stopped if we want
to preserve our republic form

called government which we
proclaim, if all these things
and people are guilty, couldn't
possibly be called a Republic
form of government. 1t doesn't
seem to me that so very much
could have leaked out that it
caused so little damage. If
Russia knew all these things
believe that they would have
taken more advantage of it.
WOMEN IN THE UNION.
Women! Do you know that we
are not getting every thing
that we should out of our
Union. There is the coop
movement that is the most
vital thing right now to trade
unionism, and it is the only
way that we can combat the
high cost of living. AS you
can plainly see an increase in
wages is not going to do us a
bit of good the way things are
going sky high even before
every body has received their
increases. The prices have in
creased so rapidly that our in
crease will do us not one bit
Of good. Yes, it was necessary
for the unions to 60 after an
other raise, first, because the
rank and file members do not
cooperate with boycotting GER
tain items of food and cloth
ing. Second, again it is the
rank and file members that
do not take enough interest
to investigate these proposals
that is put before them as be-
ing good for them as well as
all working people.
Please for your own sake
look into the coop movement.
It means more food for less
money and more clothing for
your backs without losing a
penny of your investment.
There are shares that you can
buy at twenty-five dollars
giving on rebate in the prod
uct which you buy. There are
also common shares that you
can buy for as little as ten
dollars a share. Be wise and
investigate.

Unions Are To Blame

You go into store to buy something
that ought to cost you buck and the clerk
charges you S1.5O for it.
You complain, and the clerk, who
rrobablv doesn't have the slightest idea
he's not telling you the truth, says:
"Well, it wouldn't be so high if it were
not for the unions"
AT that point it's time for you to de-
clare. "Now, look here, bud" or something
more polite and tell the clerk bit about
the economic facts of life.
If a lot of unionists don't do that
there's a good chance that very clever
camuaign launched by business and in
dustry will succeed
Objective of the campaign is to saddle
the trade union movement with the blame
for initiation.
This would mean shifting public atten-
ton from the exOrbitant profits of busi-
ness and industry and focusing it on the
wage increases which unions have OBJ
tanned for their members.
And the wage increases would be pic
tured as the cause and not the result OF
price hikes.
It's a neat trick if they can get by with
it-and they'll get by with it unless the
unions do something-and quick-tO block
them.
Facts-hard, cold facts which can be
obtained from the CIO and from various
union research departments-are the best
weapons with which to combat the cam
paign.

Keeping Up
With The Owls
CONTINUED from Page 81

Harrisburg took a 20 lead in the
top half of the third on three singles
and an error, but the Owls got one
run back in their half, when Bob
bic Martin singled and scored all
the way from first when Sivinski
fielded Belton's sacrifice bunt along
the third base line and then hit Bel
ton on the head trying to throw him
out at first The ball bounced out
into rightfield. Bolton was knocked
out, but soon recovered and stayed
in the game.
Hagerstown tied it up in the fifth,
when Martin walked, moved to sec
ond while Bolton was being thrown
out and scored on Bernie Jenis'
single.
1t was Az Hagerstown in the
sixth. Daddario opened the inning
with a single and moved to third
on Polinski's double. Ermer then
grounded to Rakar at short, whose
throw to Spackman was too late to
get Polinski at third, with Daddario
scoring and Ermer safe at first on
the fielder's choice. Then, with
Yeash at bat, Colone uncorked a
wild pitch, scoring Polinski and
sending Yeash to second. But Co.
lone then settled down and retired
the side without further damage.
But the Senators sewed up the
game in the top half of the eighth,
scoring seven big runs before Wigle,
the third pitcher in the inning, could
get them out. With one away,
Sanders singled and Cloude doubled,
and at that point manager Benny
Culp yanked Bolton and sent in
Fauth. But he couldn't get anyone
out and Schultz came in, with one
out, three runs already in and two
men on base. Barney got Yount on
a pop up to Daddario, for the second
out, and then Rakar hit an easy ball
right back to Schultz for what should
have been an easy out at first to re
tire the side But Barney made a
bad throw and Rakar was safe on
his error. Schultz then walked
Spackman and dished up a two bag
ger to Koerher (batting for the sec
ond time in the inning) Wigle then
came in and got Sanders on a
grounder to short to end the inning,
but not before seven big runs had
crossed the plate, to put Harrisburg
ahead, 8 to 4.
Hagerstown picked up their fifth
run in the ninth, when Gene Crum-
ling, hitting for Christie, doubled
and later scored.
Summary: Hagerstown, 5R. I'll.
