Runs True To Form

There's one thing you can say for the
Republicans labor policy. It's consistent.
Take the appointment of Barak Mat
tingly of st. Louis as an example of what
we mean.
Mattingly was chosen to direct the labor
activities of the COP because he has "the
respect and confidence of the representa-
tives of the American labor movement"
Or at least that's what COP Chairman
Herbert Brownell said.
However, the st. Louis Industrial
Union Council, takes different - much
different-view of the matter. The Coun-
Gil issued a statement saying:
Undoubtedly Mr.. BrOwnwell believes
that Mr.. Mattingly's activities in hehalf
of the passage of the vicious anti-labOr
King Thompson Bill and the Madison Act
by our Missouri Legislature in 1947 and
the nomination in 1948 of his hand-picked
stooge Thompson as a candidate for gov
ernor on the Republican ticket, whose
name is connected with and stands for the
most reactionary anti-labor legislation
ever put on the statute books of any state,
reflects the prevailing opinion on labor
policy of the Republican high command"
This at least would indicate Brownwell
made slight mistake in phraseOlOgy.
What he should have said, perhaps, was
that Mattingly was selected to direct the
anti-labOr activities of the COP.

Just Who Is Labor?

Some editorial writers who profess to
believe that the Taft-Hartley Act is Just
simply wonderful have written a new
theme song which they probably will sing
from now until election day in November.
They haven't given ii a title yet but
IL goes like this:
Union leaders don't represent labor.
The workers the good, honest-to-
God American workers, that is - think
TIL is fine law, but the union bosses
oppose it because it threatens their
stranglehold on the country"
Now, really, doesn't that raise an inter.
esting point? Who-Or what's labor, and
who can speak for labor?
Somehow or other we got the idea that
the l5,OOO.OO0 unionistS i'm the us. were
entitled TO speak of themselves as '1abor."
We seem TO recall that each year there
are thousands of democraticaIly y-conducted
union elections throughout the country.
And we don't remember a single in
stance in which an anti-union editorial
writer was chosen as a spokesman for
labor!

They Are Not Helping Labor

Those of us who live in Washington
and work for the CIO have been discuss
ing the advisability of launching a cam
paign to get Congress to change the names
of the "labOr" committees it has estab-
lished
We found-without doing any difficult
checking - that the agriculture" COM
mittees work for the interests of the
farmers and the business" and "com-
merce" committees work for the interests
of business and industry.
But the '1abOr" committees, with COP
policy, follow an anti-union, pro-Taft-
Hartley line.
We think, frankly, that our campaign,
if launched, would fall flat on its face.
And we know ii would be much better
for labor to change the makeup of the
committees than to change their names.
That's job that can be accomplished
only at the polls.

America First
BY RUTH TAYLOR

We once let the isolationists take the phrase
America First" and pervert it to selfish ends.
But when we say America first, what do we
mean?
We mean that we believe in the ideals that
have made America first among nations We
will evidence this belief by keeping these
ideals first in our hearts and in our lives. Not
only will we be from many one"-but we will
be one for the many. We will work one for all,
not all for one.
We mean that we believe in the equality of
all men before the law with equal access to
justice in fact But the equality of individuals,
like the equality of people, cannot be granted
by law. Equality depends on individual
achievements and upon intrinsic worth. We
will prove our belief in this equality by not
discriminating against any of our fellow cti-
Zens
We mean that we believe in the Constitu
ton of the United States as the framework of
the form of government under which we want
to live We WILL therefore, see to it that our
Bill of Rights, and its corresponding Bill of
Responsibilities is not infringed upon by us
in any particular.
We mean that we believe in the system of
free enterprise under which we have flourish
ed system free from compulsory labor, ire
sponSible private power, arbitrary public
authority and unregulated monopolies. We be-
lieve in an opportunity for productive work at
fair wage and under good standards for
every man or woman who wants to work. We
will do our part of that work honestly and
thoroughly.
We mean that we believe in the freedom of
the self lf-governed We will, in respect for that
freedom, put the restraint of Self-control and .
good taste upon our tongues and pens III
We mean that we believe in majority rule =
We will, therefore willingly and cheerfully
abide by the decision of the majority-until
the next election-cooperating with our fell
low Americans to build finer, stronger and
more prosperous nation.
We mean that we believe in the great ira
dition for which America stands We will
through combined individual effor& keep
America so strong, so self-contained that il is
capable of retaining its individual integrity
while it lives in brotherhood with men of every
race or nationality.
America first-yes. but let us keep it al-
ways American.

During his trial, Mergner called

Mergner,s wife was the daughter
Of John Weinberg, founder of the
Weinberg bakery, later absorbed by
the Schneider Baking Co. She in
herited a considerable sum from
her fathers estate and the Merg-

Mrs. Mergner died in March, 1889,
as the result of an abortion.
After his conviction for the slay-

fought for nearly, a year to save
himself from the electric chair. His
execution was twice postponed and
finally the President approved COM

He also claimed the charter would

Differing interpretations of what

in endless litigation" he declared.

From H. Warren Buckler, jr, at

Virtually Ignores Reverconb

EN- ROUTE WITH WARREN TO
CHICAGO, Oct 6.-Although con-
troll OF the next Senate shapes up
as crucial factor in the present
campaign, the top Republican
team" gave pointed indication to-
day of all but ignoring the hard
pressed candidacy of West Virginia's
Republican Senator Revercomb.
Senator Revercomb is facing loss
of his seat to former Senator Mat
thew M. Nicely. Democrat, who is
attempting a comeback. Senator
Revercomb defeated him six years
ago.
The quiet but long -smouldering
differences between Gov. Dewey and
Senator Revercomb were reflected
with hard clarity in the wake Of
Gov. Warren's campaign swing yes
terday through West Virginia.
A Charleston audience, filling
Municipal Auditorium to about two
thirds of its 1000 seating capacity,
gave enthusiastic attention to an
attack on monopolistic road hogs"
and demand for economic traffic
enforcement by the Republican vice
presidential candidate. But it wait
ed in vain for an Endorsement of
Senator Revercomb's candidacy, al
though IL had cheered mention
earlier of his name and applauded
his glowing introduction of the
Californian.
The night rally capped a day in
which Gov. Warren all but ignored
Senator Revercomb during train
side stops, at which he nonthe-
less called for election of a Re
publican Congress to back up
Dewey administration next January.
Though Senator Revercomb ap-
peared with him on the rear plat

ABOARD TRUMAN'S CAM
PAIGN TRAIN, Oct. 6.-Presi-
dent Truman had this to say
today about John L. Lewis's at
tack on him yesterday as a
malignant, Scheming sort of an
individual y ~:
You remember the statement he
made about John Garner-it made
Garner a great man."
The United Mine Workers leader
once described former Vice Presi-
dent Garner as ''labor-baiting,
whisky drinking, poker playing,
evil old man.
This denunciation of Mr.. Garner
occurred when Mr. Lewis was testi-
flying in July. 1899, before the House
Labor Committee.
His characterization of Mr.. Tru-
man was delivered at yesterday
opening of the Mine Workers BIZ
ennial convention in Cincinnati.
The Presidents comment came as
he started on a three-day eastern
campaign swing.
