Dirty Politics
Continued from Page l

Scheuer another Republican. And, 70
give vet another example, in 1888 Mr..
Otto Dittman, Republican, died while IN
office and Council appointed his wife, to
serve out his term. Surely, everyone
knows that Mrs. Dittman was not candl-
date against her husband in the preceding
elections.
So much for the phony arguments OF
the Times and the Blade about the right"
of so-called "runner-up" candidates to
vacancies in City Council.
And now, since Mr.. Sturm's "flip-flop"
in the race, the Times very conveniently
"forqets" this argument and is now sup
porting another candidate for the vacancy,
a man who was not candidate in the last
councilmanic race. If the Times - and the
Blade - had been consistent in their argu-
ments, they should have supported the next
runner-up following Mr. Sturm's sudden
"flip-flop" withdrawal from the race.
But logic and consistency is too much TO
expect from either the Times or the Blade.
Or from anyone else who are trying so
desperately to deprive labor from seat in
City Council.
in their efforts to exploit Mr.. Sturms
eagerness to get the appointment at what
ever cost to labor unity. Both the Times
and the Blade - and those who support
them - were interested solely in attempt
ing to breach labor unity, to tear us apart
and thus make us impotent insofar as the
political life of our community is concern
ed But in this reprehensible attempt they
shall not succeed
AS for Mr.. Sturm, we feel sorry for
him His unbridled ambition has apparent
ly blinded him. He fails to see that he Is
but very dispensible tool in the hands of
our enemies. How quickly he was tossed
aside - like dried-up lemon - by the
Times. And we say he deserves that kind
of treatment. That is the way he, Mr..
SturIn, if you please, treats his own
people. Mr.. Sturm was supported in his
efforts by the Central Labor Union of the
AFL. Yet, Mr.. Sturm, contrary to all ex-
pectations, completely ignored both Mr..
Otto Brach and Mr.. Frank Fisher, secre-
tsry and president of the Central Labor
Union, in his desperate maneuverings for
the appointment Both Mr. Fisher and Mr..
Brach learned from the Blade that Mr..
Sturm has taken "flip-flop." Surely, if Mr..
Sturm had any consideration - let alone
allegiance for the organization that
supported him, the least he could have
done was to consult its leaders on what
he was doing, not to mention the propriety
of going before the organization itself
Such procedure is elementary in any
organization.
But, no, Mr.. Sturm-after scandalous-
ly ignoring his colleagues - proudly an
nounces that he has taken his announced
"flip-flop" after consulting with people
not connected with the labor movement"
And he aspires to be labor's representa-
tive in Council This is worse than a
fraud, this is mockery.
We have already said too much on this
issue. But we felt that the record ought to
be clear to everyone We refuse to engage
In dirty politics. We have been consistent
and shall continue to be so whether City
Council appoints anyone from our ranks
or not. No one shall break or breach our
ranks. And just remember, gentlement,

Women's News
And Views
BY Odessa Overy
Secretary Women's Bureau
Region 2-B

THE MOST important thing
l. to the women today is
the Women's Forum, which is
being held every Thursday
evening at 1880 pm, at the
Local Hall. Last week we had
a very interesting topic, by
Roy Sauters "Time-study",
and the girls could have lis
tened to him all evening. We
would like to have more of the
girls take advantage of these
classes. If you don't you are
only hurting yourself. So some
of you that are just a little bit
backward about coming to
these get-togethers, come any
way.
The most outstanding thing
in my mind is the wonderful
program that the women of
local IL choral society put on
at the state CIO convention.
Every one of them are to be
congratulated. When ! say
congratulated / mean in more
then one way. First and fore
most in my mind is the way
that they conducted themselves
at all times. Secondly was the
program and the earnestness
that they went about in trying
to make success of this oppor-
nifty. Many of the girls stayed
over for the entire convention,
and attended the victory ball
that was held at the local CIO
headquarters. They had Won
derful dance music plus some
entertainment by union talent.
Everything was just wonder
full including the luncheon
that was served.
was surprised to see the
hotel so quiet and when you
walked down the halls you
thought that you were in a
funeral home. From what /
have heard about conventions
/ thought that it would sound
more like a carnival then a
funeral home.
l think that it would be a
very good jester to show your
appreciation for every thing
that MIR. Gosser has done for
body, and since he Is
now confined to Mercy hos
pital that all of you that care
to, should send him a card.
1t is through hard work that
he first: built such a praised
and honored name, for it is
only the people that are jeal-
Gus of such a person that
would give this leader any
thing but praise. Second:
these entiring efforts are just
the things that has put him in
hospital today. He never gives
up burning the candle at both
ends, for the sake of the peo-
pie, and to gain some kind of
betterment for them. This is
one man in a thousand who
will wear himself out for
somebody else. l have heard
of women that would do
things like this but / have
never heard of any other man
but our own Mr.. Richard Cos
ser. There are men that will
do things like this if they
think that they are going to
get more out of it then the
other guy. But not our hui
nanitarian, and vice-president
of the international.

JOIN THE MARCH OF DIMES
Inside America
(written by the Staff of The CIo News)

Pretty much what CIO said
when Taft-Hartley was under
consideration: There's no short
cut possible to industrial
peace if management does not
engage in bona fide collective
bargaining.

Rep Tom Burke came from our ranks and
in all decency, his place should be filled
from our ranks. After all, besides having
this moral right in this case, we do rep
resent tens of thousands of workers in this
community of ours.

THAT PAY raise for Harry
l. Truman is strictly a first
round" affair.
Union members have won
three rounds" of wage in
crease since 1916. But the
President of the United States,
obviously, doesn't have a un-
ion to represent him-so it's
taken for him to have his sala-
ry hiked up in line with ad-
vancing living costs.
Presidents salary is big (it
was $4,000 a year; now it's
being raised to $100,O00). But
his expenses are tremendous
and they've proved a drain on
his family finances.
Harry Truman, incidentally,
is not a rich man. Unlike both
Franklin Roosevelt and Her
bert Hoover. he has no great
wealth.
AS an organization which
has won pay boosts for several
million Americans, we con-
gratulate Harry Truman for
getting his. 1t was justified
and deserved
\
Here's a political prediction
to clip and put in your hat.
1t was made by CLOS Phil
Murray, talking at a New
York banquet:
Jack Kroll, the director of
the CIO Political Action Com
mittee, tells me that two years
from now, labor and the peo-
pie of Ohio are going to win a
very important seat in the
Senate of the United States"
The seat-in case you've
forgotten-is now held by
Senator Robert A. Taft.
Il
Remember a couple of
years ago when then Senator
Joe Ball (R, Minn.) sold the
newspapers on idea that cool
ing off" periods would solve a
lot of problems and settle a
lot of strikes?
Unions at that time said
Balls ideas were far-fetched.
They poited out that strikes
aren't caused by somebody S
whim-but by inability to
reach agreement with manage
ment over long period of time.
Now comes strong criticism
of the cooling-off theory
from Cyrus Ching, head of the
Federal Cancellation & Media
ton Service,
Cooling off periods have
proved to be more like
"warming-up' periods, Ching
says in effect in his annual
report.
The s0-day "cool-off" in
Taft-Hartley, he says, tends
to delay rather than facilitate
settlement of dispute" Care
you listenin, Mr.. Ball?)
Parties unable to resolve
the issues facing them before
a deadline date, when subject
to an injunction order, tend
to lose a sense or urgency and
to relax their efforts to reach
a settlement. They wait for
the next deadline date" go
days later.
Ching criticiZes other TIL
features: CD the compulsory
vote on managements last
offer" in certain types of dis
putes (the last offer" has
been overwhelmingly turned
down in every vote under TIL
among union members); (2)
appointment of inquiry boards
lin national emergency dis.

interfering with collective
bargaining"O.

HOUSE Labor Committee is
IA really going to have a new
look" in the 81st Congress.
Last year it was the special
forum of some of Congress
worst labor-haters. But Repre-
sentative Hartley did not
choose to run, Representative
Lands committees No. 2 Re-
publican) was licked, and nu-
merous smaller-fry Republic
ans were also defeated.
Representative Clare Hoff-
man (R. MichO survived the
election-but now the most
loud-spoken foe of unions in
the House is apparently going
off the Labor Committee, this
time by order of his fellow
GOP-ers in the House. Hoff-
man has obviously embarras-
sed some of more moderate"
Republicans by his name-cal-
ling, Notwithstanding and
one-man investigations" of
labor disputes.
1t looks as if he's passed the
hump of his labor batting
career.
If democratic America
wants to have influence on
foreign peoples, it had better
keep its own house in order.
Too often, Americans act as if
they want to prove anti-Unit-
ed States propaganda editor
ials in Moscow's Pravda.

who acquitted white man of
murder of Negro after testify
ing they wouldn't believe Ne

mony-even under oath.
ITEM: Conduct of many A
merican officials overseas-for
instance, the high official in
u. S. education branch of
military government in Wen,
ma.
This American official de-
nounces President Truman's
civil rights program; voices
anti-Catholic and anti-Semitic
statements; regards Austria's
big Socialist party (49@o of
the votes, and with a program
much like US. New DeaD as
identical with Austrias little
Communist party; and tells
American citizens in Vienna
that u. ST. Costitution doesn't
protect them.
Items like these are grist
for totalitarian propaganda
mills. It's time we set our own
house in order.
X y
Similar suggestion came last
week from half a dozen pro-
minent citizens who called at
the White House.
They urged u. S. to estab-
lish federal commission on
civil rights to act as a watch
dog over our democratic liber-
ties, make sure they're beini
observed, and issue reports
from time to time on state of
civil rights throughout the
nation.
Proposal was made year
ago by President Truman's
Committee on Civil Right
and has strong CIO support.
Establishment of such a
commission of leading citizens
would help undo some of the
damage caused by House I'm

For faith that let's us lean on Thee!

For hands to touch, and lips to sing
Thy name in every lovely thing
For friendship with our fellow men
But mostly for Thy love.

For life-for every passing minute
For this, Thy world, and all things in it!
We give Thee thanks, dear Lord, for

The kindness of rain, the birth
Of springtime from barren earth
The earth that bears the bread we break
In gratitude for Thy sweet sake.

to find last night that what he
considered a constructive criti-

Southeast Council of Citizens
Associations had "backflred."
T. M. Sherbert, q delegate to

ton found 1t difficult to make de-
cisionsNthat would bind the men,
ber bodies. He suggested the presi-
dents of the various associations
get together to iron out their
problems. 1855.
"The council lacks leadership
and coordination" Mr.. Sherbert
said. land such a meeting should
be able to decide on one policy
that would be acceptable to all the
associations"
At this point. George w. Absher
offered q motion that the associa-
ton go on record as favoring the
construction of a bridge across
the Anacostia River, to relieve
traffic congestion on the Sousa
Bridge.
"This," Mr.. sherbert said, "is
an example Of the lack Of co-or-
dination we are trying to get rid
Of. II this association favors one
bridge, with other Southeast area
associations already on record in
favor Of another. the council will
not be able to operate as q unit. I"
Mr.. Absher replied he had made
the motion in the spirit Of Mr..
sherbert's suggestion Ito get
started" on the bridge.
Frank Kramer said the council
is like 13 or II mules, each try

the council lacks leadership. But
