Labor Press Says What II PIeoses
REGARDLESS Of TIL Prohibitions

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-
Labor papers throughout the ma
tion are strongly voicing labor's
views on political candidates and
issues, regardless of any prohibi-
tion of such expressions in the
Taft Hartley Act.
Examination of labor papers
from many sections received by
International Labor News Service
revealed that they are supporting
candidates friendly to labor and
vigorously opposing those whose
congressional or other records
prove them unfriendly.
Papers Speak Minds
Even the most cursory reading
of almost any labor publication
shows it is saying what it pleases
on politics. This despite a Supreme
Court decision last June Il which
left some doubt as to whether news
papers financed with union funds
are prohibited under the Taft Hart
ley law from taking a partisan
stand on political matters.
Confirmation that labor press
political opinion has not been
shackled by TIL bans is given in a
survey by GIN Digest of New York
which reports on what the 600 la
Dor papers of the country are tell
ing their readers.
In an analysis of what was pub
lished in August by 100 selected
union papers, the survey found
that one-fourth related to current
political issues. This was almost
exactly equal to the attention given
to economic issues.
Leading political topics included
encouragement of union political
action, condemnation Of all Con
gressmen who voted for the Taft
Hartley law, Congress record
praise of President Truman, criti-
cism of Gov. Dewey, opposition to
Henry A. Wallace, condemnation OF
the "Dixiecrats," support of the
civil rights program and opposition
to racial discrimination and "red-
batting"
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1948-10-21

"The blunt TRUTH" said the old
curmudgeon, lis that organized la
Dor has been the one group, along
with the New Deal, to lift the liv-
ing standards of the great mass of
people. 1t has done it against the
determined opposition of the
Unity of the well-integrated min
ority which is financing and hand
ling Mr.. Dewey's campaign for
him."
Ickes invited his audience to
come back for the next installment
when he broadcasts from Montana
this week. Maybe Dewey will be
able to hear him, he says, if he yells
loud in the Great Open Spaces. And
perhaps by then, Thomas Elusive
Dewey will have had enough time
to think up some real answers"

Suggests Music Program; Ask Dewey
Questions I'm Place OF Mystery Tune

Washington (LPA)-Thomas r.
(for elusive) Dewey, the candidate
in sneakers, was the way former
Interior Secretary Harold L. lckes
described the COPS hope last week.
In a radio broadcast sponsored
Jointly by AFL's Labor's Commit
! tee for Truman & Barkley and
CLOS Political Action Committee,
Ickes talked about "that 'hush-my-
darlings' candidate who goes soft
pedalling about the country in rub
ber soled shoes, talking soothingly
about nothing in his best Lowell
Thomas trained voice"
Declaring that he was pleased
to appear under the banners of the
two labor organizations, the form
er Roosevelt cabinet member said
sincerely, 81 hope tonight is an
omen of the future and that they
(AFL and CIO) will increasingly
find common cause. By joining
hands, by uniting to oppose Mr..
Dewey, they have shown that they
know that they face common
danger. Thus united, they can eff
fectively resist the things that he
stands for"
Playing a record of the "Winter-
green for President" song from the
musical comedy "Of Thee | Sing" F"
the lex compared Dewey's cheer
leader routine about UNITY
with Wintergreen's platform of be-
ing just for "Love, Love, Love" A
baritone then gave rendition OF
the New York governors theme
song, "You Call Everybody Darl-
ing"
Ickes described himself as the
boy in the back row Who had his
hand up, trying to get Teacher
Dewey to answer his questions on
conservation, education, housing,
oil, high prices, and other campaign
issues. If he can't get an answer
from the candidate before the cleo
tion, he says he has one last des-
perate plan: 81 will ask the spon-
.sors of the Stop The Music pro-
gram to substitute my questions
for the Mystery Tune When the
telephone rings at Pawling and
Thomas Elusive Dewey answers
and hears the question Where do
you stand on anything?' maybe he
will answer US because if he does
ne will get nice new automobile,
a big and beautiful refrigerator
and a diamond ring"

the long-run interest of all: (a) to
pay labor progressively higher
wages in relation to prices; (b) to
do this by progressively increasing
productivity per man-hour thru the
application of constantly greater
mechanization, power, efficiency
and skill in the processes of pro-
duction and distribution; and (c)
to reduce hours of labor and inn
prove real income while increasing
the volume of production and dis
tribution."

The Supreme Court decision was
in a case resulting from a chal-
lenge by President Philip Murray
to a section of the Taft Hartley
law prohibiting use of union funds,
as well as corporation funds, to in
fluence national elections. Murray
embodied his challenge in full
page statement in the CIO News
in support of congressional can
didate in Baltimore.

are unwilling to say that Congress

tions or labor organizations MAX

Left Room For Doubt
However-and this is where the
doubt as to the full application
comes in-the decision added, "We
express no opinion as to the scope
of this section where different cir
cumstances exist and none upon
the constitutionality of the section" :"
Another case involving this Taft
Hartley section is on its way to the
Supreme Court from a federal
court in Connecticut which held a
Hartford local AFL painters union
guilty of a violation because it
spent money for advertising space
to condemn political candidates
held unfriendly to organized labor.

FIRECRACKER PLANT.
By LiIIion Cox Athey
HORIZONTAL

Many American citizens celebrate
Independence Day with firecrackers.
Mother Nature produces crimson
flowers on red cordlike stems re-
markably like our common fire.
crackers, though minus the bang.
These spectacular blossoms have an
honored place in the cultivated gar
dens of the West and Europe.
In early June the wooded hill
sides and mountain canyons are
ablaze with the bright red clusters.
They are welcome sight from Cali
fornia to Oregon. Raised on stems
from to feet, you cannot miss
them. Along the main stem are
grasslike leaves.
The clusters are always loose as
if the cord binding the package had
become unfastened. Each tubular
bud and flower is fashioned like a
common red firecracker. though a
close up reveals green lobe on each
one. A few of the lobes turn back
showing the tips of three pale-gold
anthers. There are three stamens
widened so they resemble white or
yellow petals. Redo however, pre-
dominates.
Long-tongued guests move in and
out of the crimson banquet hall
where nectar and pollen is freely
dispensed. The welcome guest al
ways pays for her refreshments by
leaving ripe pollen with her hostess
and transporting vital grains to the
next one. However, one often sees
"gate-crashers" who take all they
desire without even leaving a tip.
These unlimited guests are usually
ants who are inordinately fond Of
sweets. Since their feet and armor
carry no pollen, they do not serve
the hostess who must have ripe
pollen from a similar blossom in
order to have seed children.
There is an interesting story about
the way the plant received its COM
mon name: In the spring of 1867,
DR.. Alphonso Wood. a well-known
botanist was travelling by stage
through the Trinity Mountains of
California; the stage driver called
his attention to the patches of red
