Gibson Predicts
Truman Will Be
Next President

Duluth (LPA)-There are 61,-
100000 men and women gainfully
employed in this country. If those
81, 100000 want to keep those jobs
and good wages, 1--WE better have
81 100000 voters in November" :"
That's the advice of Assistant Sec
retary Of Labor John Gibson, in
his talk to a joint AFL-CIO Labor
Day rally here.
"The Taft Hartley act" the La
Dor Dept official said, "has clearly
shown who are labor's friends and
who are labor's enemies in this
country. The bill was sponsored
and enacted by Republican leader
ship of. the Republican-do dominated
80th Congress. 1t was voted by
President Truman, who declared
clearly and forthrightly that this
was unwarranted and unwise anti
labor legislation. 1t was passed
over the Presidents veto and stands
as a monument to the anti-labor
bias of the Republican-controlled
80th Congress.
Referring to Minnesota's own
Sen. Joe Ball, Republican candidate
for reelection, Gibson cited his
anti-labor record. He charged that
the Wallace party will have the
effect of electing Republicans if it
has any effect at all.

Taylor and their gang" he predict

NOnfarm Employment
100000 Above 1947

Washington, ID. C. QLNS).-Em-
ployment in nonagricultural estab-
lishments remained little changed
at 45,059,0 900 in mid-July, the high
est level on record except for last
December. This was true despite
widespread vacation-ta taking, some
seasonal declines, and continued
material shortages, according to
the Bureau of Labor Statistics, IT,.
S. Department of Labor.
Nonfarm employment was L.
100000 above the year-ago figure.
Employment on contract con-
structiono continued its seasonal
rise bringing the total to 2,186, 900,
a new peacetime high and about
$4,000 above last years October
peak.
With building activity at high
levels, employment in a number of
the construction materials indus
tries has also shown a substantial
increase.
Manufacturing employment in
creased slightly during the month.
The automotive industry added
about 10000 workers in July. There
were some declines in employment
in nondurable goods groups. The
largest of these was in textiles,
which dropped over 10000 workers.
This was attributed to extensive
vacation-taking and continuation
of the slow season in some branches
of the textile group.

Letter To The Editor

have had the privilege of being
member Of the National Brother
hood of Operative Potters for close
to forty-five years and | am still
working at the trade and taking an
active part in the affairs of my
local. Only by this method can one
hope to obtain the true facts of
what takes place. At times there
are certain things that are not just
to my liking, but at least | have
the satisfaction of voting my senti-
ments on issues at hand.
Going back to the days of the
late Al Hughes, Tom Duffy and
John T. Wood and up to the pre-
sent leadership of President James
M. Duffy, whom | have known for
a number of years, | can recall
many incidents when all was not
smooth sailing. We made mistakes
in those days and in all probability
will continue to make mistakes, but
who among us can stand out as the
perfect individual who does no
wrong.
President Duffy may have made
mistakes but in so doing | feel
justified in saying they did not
occur with a malicious feeling and
personal injury intent in the back
ground. They were mistakes of
judicious rulings handed down as
he interpreted the laws of our con-
stitution. There is not one person
in the trade today who can honest
ly refute this statement, be it
friend or foe. His mistakes have
come from the mind not the heart.
In my early days at the trade |
recall when a mouldrunner received
anywhere from fifty cents to one
dollar Il day for his labor Batters-
out received from $500 to $3.50
per day. We have come a long way
since then. All Of us are getting
more money for our labor in addi
tion to better conditions under
which to perform our tasks.
How many of us back in those
days could afford to take a vaca-
ton. What happened when we re-
ceived an injury or became i'll while
working at the bench? Did we have
first-aid rooms with registered
nurses to administer to our ills ?
No brothers and sisters we did not.
Did we have an insurance plan as
afforded members of the Brother
hood today if the inevitable so hap
pened?
How many of us dreaded the
thought of becoming afflicted with
silicosis and unable to provide for
our families. This one phase alone
should prove to any doubling
Thomas in the trade the advances
made by the organization the past
few years.
Now, were all these accomplish
ments obtained by the mere waving
Of a magic wand to become a real
ity. You know and | know they
were only made possible through
careful planning of a chartered
course and diligent efforts of our
national officials to guide the way.

small part in this procedure. He

Green Tells Nation
That Big Business
Turns To Commies'

Akron (LPA)-Speaking first to
gala Labor Day rally in Summit
Park here, and later to a nation
wide radio audience, AFL President
William Green this week warned
the nation that "Big Business,
which depends for its very exist
ence on the maintenance of the
free enterprise system, has played
right into the hands of the Com
munists, who are the sworn enemies
of free enterprise"
To prove his charge, Green said
that since the enactment of the
Taft Hartley law, workers Smart
ing against a sense of injustice
have been forced to work against
their will because of Taft-Hartley
injunctions."
"A shocking example, of the
sweeping terms Of some of these
injunctions," Green told his aud
ience, is the case involving the
members of the Int'l Typographical
Union -AFL who have been on
strike since last winter against the
Chicago daily papers. NLRB at
torneys, acting on behalf of the
US government, "have asked the
court for a super-injunction which
would forbid the union to pay
strike benefits to thousands of men
who quit their jobs in Chicago.
"That means an attempt by our
government to break a strike by
starving out the wives and child
rem of the strikers. Such cruel and
inhuman tactics are not only per-
mitted but required by the Taft
Hartley act, according to the gov
eminent lawyers"
Added Green: ~ proclaim here
and now that workers in every
community in our land will respond
to the challenge and gladly contri-
butte from their own wages to the
strikers families if the court is
sued the injunction requested by
the government"
The AFL president listed what
he termed "only a few" of the
80th Congress failures in the fields
of housing, social security, health
and other social welfare fields.
Calling for an overwhelmingly
large vote in November, Green con-
cluded: "From an immediate as
we'll as a long-range standpoint,
the peace of the world depends up
on the power of America to guar
antee peace. To prevent war, Am
erica must remain strong. | charge .
that the policies instituted by the
80th Congress are sapping the |
strength of America and the Am
erican people. Those policies must !,
be reversed"
Green spoke from the same plat
form with Labor Secretary Maurice
Tobin, who urged big Democratic
vote and called for repeal of the !,
Taft Hartley law.

Dewey Halls New York Lobor
Role In EmpIoyer-EmpIoye Peace
As Object Lesson To Nofion

Albany, n. Y. (ILNS).-Pro-
claiming Monday, Sept. 6, as Labor
Day, Gov. Thomas Z. Dewey hail
ed New York as a leader in recog-
milton and protection of labor and
in harmonious labor-management
relations.
Gas the nations leading indus

York's strike record is second to
none. Where we have had trouble,
the sources of it may be traced to
tap roots which are fed in Moscow
or Washington or in the designs of
selfish men ruthlessly pursuing
power or wealth"
Dewey further said:

claim Labor Day to commemorate
the good citizenship of the working
men and women of our state and
the contribution made by organized
labor to the public welfare.

slongs uniquely to the office of gov
emor. 1t was in our state, 66 years
ago, that the first Labor Day par
ade was held, a full IL years be-
fore the holiday had federal reco-
gnition. 1t was in our state that
American trade unionism was born,
to develop from this cradle into a
great national institution. And to-
day, again, it is in our state that
a living example of harmonious
labor relations forecasts what can
come into being for the entire ma
tion.
'In so far as we in New York
have been able to manage our own
affairs, we have achieved what is
perhaps the best example of peace
on a front where diverse interests
must always be reconciled if free
labor and free government are not
to be suppressed.
"What we have achieved in New
York is based on a simple formula.
First, we have accorded labor the
status and dignity it deserves in
the community. Second, we have
legislated on the theory that the
most desirable practices in free
society are based on a minimum of
coercion and maximum of cooper
ation-and we have administered
our laws fairly and impartially.
Third, we have been ever mindful
of the special protection which the
working man and working woman
needs from government-our work

Fe deroi Security Agency Says
Schools Face Building Crisis. Calling
For Spending Of II Billion Dollars

Washington, d. C. (ILNS) The
worst educational building crisis in
history faces the United States
the Federal Security Agency de-
clared in making public findings of
a recent study. 1t blamed the stu
alton "for the most part" on econ
omic and social dislocations result
ing from World War II.
The expanding population and
constant shifting of United States
citizens trying to adjust to peace
time living have combined with
failure of schools to construct new
buildings to play hob with the
ability of the American educational
system to accommodate its stud
ents, FSA said.
High building costs and scarcity
of materials during and after the
war, FSA said, have prevented con-
struction of needed school build
ings.
Thousands of buildings which
normally would have been replaced
have been continued in service and
allowed to fall into a poor state of
repair" the agency said And ad-
vancement in educational methods
have made other facilities obsolete,
it added.
The building programs have not
kept pace with expansion of the
school-age population, FSA de-
clared. The number of new students
is increasing every year and will
continue to increase for several
more years, it said.

"that 100000 new children will
enter school in 1949, and that the
1853 entering class will reach a
figure of 3,700,000."

hood history. He has been subject
to scorn on numerous occasions
for his decisions. He has been ridi-
culed in local meetings and in the
shops, but being the gentleman that
he is with the aim of leading ma
tional organization under the ban
nership of true trade unionism, he
has carried on in a progressive
manner and been gentleman enough
to carry through his convictions.
How many of US realize the
strength and courage it must take
to carry on under such circum-
stances.
The National Brotherhood of
Operative Potters is known far and
wide for their collective bargain
ship with manufacturers. They are
among the top rank in the A. F. of
l.. in this respect. The prestige
gained by the organization since
Br. Duffy assumed office in 1927
must not be overlooked in weigh
ing the qualities he has for leader
ship.
We are on the verge of a wage
conference with the manufacturers,
seeking a wage increase to meet
the ever rising prices of the neces-
sary essentials to maintain a de-
cent standard Of living. Here again
let us use the yardstick of justice
in meeting the issue at hand. Is it
fair that we ask our national head
to go all out in his efforts to secure
us a wage increase, while at the
same time we are asking that his
salary be reduced? Weigh this
thought in your minds brothers and
sisters and think what you would
do under the same circumstances.
Would it not be discouraging to
say the least that you put forth
your best efforts for those who
seek to stab you in the back, while
at the same time knowing that you
are being denied the same medium
of bargainship for just compensa-
tion for your services.
Suppose the manufacturers
should take a page from our book
and refuse to bargain across the
table with their employees and
prefer to have a referendum vote
among their members to ascertain
the merits of a wage increase.
What far cry from justice would
be our answer. Yet, there are some
among us who by their selfish in
terest and greed have created
rebellion within our ranks, based
on the same identical procedure.
We all know we cannot carry
along in this manner The time has
come for you and ! to weed out
this sinister element within our
organization. Let you and | as i'm
dividuals weigh the evidence at
hand and do our part as trade
union members to support the will
of the majority. Let us not for one
be guided in our decision
by inference Of personalities or
lust for personal injury.
Analyze the qualifications for
leadership among the minority ele-
ment who are merely using the
shield of the National Brotherhood
of Operative Potters to gain their
objective. Are they the caliber of
men you wish to run the Brother
hood?
