Bit by bit-here and there-anti-labor
forces have been chOpping away steadily
at uniOnism and at the very foundations
of democracy and real free enterprise. The
trend as a whole is much more fright
ening than any of its individual parts.
Industry, now more powerful than
ever before has loaded gun aimed at the
trade union movement. The trigger hasn't
been pulled yet, but who knows what may
happen the minute there's surplus of
workers and products workers produce?
And what follows initiation?
And can democracy long endure If civil
rights continue to be trampled?
And what happens to competitive en-
terprise If the trend toward monopoly
continues to eliminate competition?
Things that are bad-like things that
are goOd-slip up on you and change your
life almost before you know it.
How about taking an inventory of
yourself and your union today?

Be OF Good Faith
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Letters are pretty important things. You
never can tell by the envelope just what you
are going to find inside-heartsease or heart
break, tragedy or triviality, inspiration or
despair.
The other day l received letter that had
in it one sentence which has haunted me ever
since. Hell is the absence of hope and of
faith" Here are some of the thoughts it has
aroused.
When you lose faith in person, you lose
more than that person. You chip off your faith
in other people You become insure of your
own judgment Instead of making allowances
for certain number of wrong guesses about
people, you put undue stress your dfsap-
pointment. Instead of, once careful and objec-
tive checking proves your loss of faith is justi-
fled, crossing that person out of your life, you
let it continue to distress you. You build up
your own hell.
When nation loses faith, what happens?
First 1t loses faith in its leader. In the begin
ming this is one leader, but it too soon resolves
itself into losing faith in all leaders. Then the
collective mind becomes chaotic and prey to
all sorts of suggestions. IF this is not true,
then nothing is true. Then there is no reason
why we should not follow any course that may
seem momentarily easier "And that is the
beginning of the end of that nation, and its
descent into hell
When you lose hope, the light has been
turned out in your heart 1t makes no particu-
lar difference what that hope is-for whatever
the form it takes, it is hope of security
security of body, of mind, or of the spirit
What should be a natural perquisite of man.
kind becomes vague and chimerical. much
to-be desired goad which if it is ever evenI
family glimpsed, inspires gratitude very
wise man once told me, 1T is tragic thing
when men are grateful for their just deserts"
Good is just as real as evil. We should expect
the good to happen, not await the evil in dread
ful anticipation. Loss of hope is the door that
hell. We can destroy our own hell.
When nation loses hope, it has lost not
only its future but its memory of the past
Since it cannot look ahead, the things behind
1.-THE work. the dreams, the plans-are
meaningless. II is no longer nation-just a
collection of despondent people, ready to seize,
on new alliances, to swarm into another alien
hive. It has died in its own hell

Enoef Laws To Hinder Unions

A concerted campaign to curb trade
unions was launched almost before the
shooting in the Pacific had stopped. 1t
moved quietly at first, then nOisily and
recklessly-and there's no indication that
those waging the campaign will halt it of
their own vOlitiOn.
The old, old practice of hiring armed
thugs and goons to work over those who
got enthusiastic bout unionism was
largely abandoned and a new practice in
stituted.
The new practice was known as legis-
Iative union busting.
How far has ii gone?
Congress enacted the Taft-Hartley
Act. Thirty-siX state legislatures passed
anti.union measures. There are many in
dicatiOns new teeth" will be put in these
laws if additional anti-labor lawmakers
are elected in November.
And American workers, while fighting
to stave off -HartleyiSm, were SUBJ
jected to a high prices squeeze that has
millions.

You know how it is when you work in
a store. Every once in while you take
inventory-find out where you are, what
you've got, where you've been, where you
may be going.
This month-the Seth anniversary of
the nations first Labor Day celebration
seems like good time for labor to check
up on itself.
First. let's accentuate the positive.
The average American worker is a lot
better off than was his counterpart back
on Sept 6, 1882, when group of unionists
paraded up New York's Broadway to
Union Square in the cOuntry's first Labor
Day celebration.
Yes, lot better off!
And the conditions under which he
works and lives are much better than
those found in any other nation in the
world
The good things which came to Amer
lean workers didn't arrive overnight. They
weren't handed out on a silver platter.
There was careful planning and
bloodshed and sweat :. and luck
and sacrifice i. and fierce determination
in the struggle to improve the American
standard of living.
Men were beaten with clubs and black
Jacks and other men were shot to death in
the founding and building of the labor
movement.
Men were blacklisted and evicted and
starved in the battle to establish collective
bargaining firmly on the American scene.
Despite the hardships and the heart
aches, labor moved forward - slowly,
gradually. The pace of its progress
speeded considerably during the late 3O's
and the war years. And then

What is the answer? 1t lies within the
individual. Faith and Hope must be capitalized.
Not faith in the individual man, but faith in
Gods goodness. Not hope for material benefits
of another's bringing, but hope in the reward

hell. We con destroy our own hell.
