Education And "A Democratic Discipline
Spell Union Power

We learn from Horato Alger story writer's that per-
without aim in life will amount to much. 1t is
equally true however that the chances of with too
many aims but little BETTER if But having too many
irons the fire at time dsspate energy without
achieving results This applies to the work of organizing and
to all other union activities
We can, of course, have number of immediate aims,
all of which calculated to contribute to the realization
of remote principal am but for results
must focus whole attention and concentrate all eff
forts upon the attainment of one of them at the time
An exception to this rule would be the where the
rise of unforeseen obstacles temporarily block further
gress in the direction in which have been working In
such it is WE'LL for the time being, to turn atten
tion to other means destined for the same end
We must lose sight of the principal goal to be at
taned which, in case is to build up the union to the
highest general state of perfection conceivable 1t
than just increasing the size of it by securing
members and by organizing houses and territories 1t
than to merely raise the living and work
standards of the members 1t includes union education and
the promotion of democratic discipline within the union
We stressing the adjective "democratic,' because
dctatoa methods violate the democratic purpose of unions
and doomed to failure in the long The strength and
security of unon-the extent of it's ability to weather the
storms of opposons largely measured by the degree of
union education and of democratic discipline prevailing
among the members of the chief duties devong upon
local union officers.

Many legislators in Ohio have outved their usefulness
and deserve to be retired for the dsseces rendered the
nation by their support of the TaftHartey Bill the killing
of price controls the Wrecng of the United States Depart

vital interest to the workers.
That will be of the chief detectives of the Ohio State
Federation of Labors Educational and Political League
which is operating through Central Body and Local Union
units of the League Much of the basic organzaOna and
political activity will be carried through Local Union
committees affiliated with the State L. +. p L. The League
will raise its funds through it's Central Bodies and Local
Unions Phil Hannah, SecretaryIreasurer of the League
has recommended that all aaes organize and participate
in local campaign committees in conjunction with local units
and that they cooperate to the fullest extent with their
Central Bodies.

Teamwork In Industry

Some months ago President Harvey Brown of the Inter
national Association of Machnsts addressed midwesern
conference the subject of human relations in industry
Such activities, he said often window dressing
while behind the curtain there is conflict because of Oppos
ment and workers
Every trade unonist agrees with that view. But the
speaker also drew certain conclusions which of part
cuar significance at this time Labor unions, he pointed
out the very heart of effective industrial relations at
obvious that engage union smashing and at
the time hope for any decent relations Likewise the
union its part cannot tolerate wildcat strikes and other
harmful practices and look toward good managementabor
relations. Human relations in industry require teamwork
These words reState what have said time and again.
namely that equal rights equal responsibility Neither
labor management afford to ride roughShOd
each others legitimate interests Or as Mr. Brown, of
abors statesmen, eoquently puts it, Management
still be movaed by the desire for earnings and dividends
and labor may still seek better wages regular employment
and place in the These ends not inconsistent with
each other The profit motive and the fully developed work
not incompatible. We work along parallel lines
to the goaan America Of material abundance and
spiritual greatness"

No Time To Relax

The people have done it. They have forced repeal of
margarine legislation of the hands of the hostile House
Agriculture Committee and before the House itself for de-
bate and vote Thanks to united labor and action
the predatory nerestswhch had bottled up repeal for
nearly 60 yearS-took a sound beating.
That this victory achieved the resistance of
the majority leadership in Congress and the ntrgues OF
the butter lobby adds the story 1t goes show what
organized labor is capable of doing, whenever it united
knows its mind and marches toward the goal under deter
mined and public minded leadership
Yes the people have scored major victory, but the
remains to be The House of Representatives, prod
ded by the 218 sgners of the discharge petition expects
to vote repeal Monday April 26 Then there the Senate

and make that Representative and Senator votes

that the unonsts realizing that the Act isn't nearly
