nothing. This had been their
propaganda line. They could not
afford to discuss details, because
most of the features of the Taft
Hartley Act met the definite ap-
proval of more than majority of
union members.
Fearful of the result, the Ad-
ministration delayed the bill for
months after the committee report.
Senator Smith, Senator Donnell
and considered all the complaints
against the Act. Then, instead of
repeal, we offered a series of
amendments to the Taft-Hartley
Act, correcting many features
against which labor had publicly
complained, but retaining the basic
principles of equality between en-
ployers and unions, of free collect
i've bargaining, and of legal respon-
sibility on unions and their officials
equal to the vast power which
union officials have acquired. We
offered % amendments and correc-
tions to the Taft-Hartley law, all
but two in the interest of labor and
in answer to their requests.
After bitter fight on the Sem
ate Floor for four weeks. the
Senate adopted our amendments
by a vote of 49 to Al: Instead of
repeating the Taft-Hartley BILL
they amended it to remove every
legitimate complaint.
n 7 once, we were denounced by
"A union leaders, and every Sem
ator who voted for amendments in
the interest of labor was threaten
ed with political extinction by Will
liam Green, Philip Murray and A.
F. Whitney. Mr.. Green sent his
imperious orders direct to the SEN
ate and Senator Lucas had them
read to the Senate by the Clerk.
1t is now said that under orders
from these officials, the Democratic
Party will suppress the bill in the
House or, if passed there, the
President will veto it.
This would be complete denial
OF democratic legislative principles.

.CAPPING the
CAPITAL
With BEN HAYES

COLUMBUS-We've had tulips
and roses at City Hall this year
Fall is the time for the Chrysan-
themum show. The current City
Hall does not feature flowers
on display are furnaces, caskets
drinking fountains, televisior
tubes and hundreds of things
made in Columbus.
This is the capital city's new
fame. An industrial city that
sends its products all over the
world. Seagrave fire engines
Jaeger cement mixers, oil cloth
and other materials from Colum-
bus. Coated fabrics, Jeffrey's
mining equipment, derricks and
steel towers from Ideco.
Columbus has been known as
seat of government and of col
leges. During the recent war, the
industrial side of the city grew
SO rapidly, its factories and their
suppliers have become a great
factor in the life of the people.
For instance, the Marble Cliff
Quarries Co., ships lime to Eng
land. If you bought your furnace
from a mail-order firm, it prob
ably was made in Columbus. If
your car is new Chevrolet, its
latches, hinges, handles and other
hardware" was made at the new
Ternstedt plant at the city's west
ern edge.
Seventy-five manufacturers are
putting on the free show at the
City Hall. 1t is open from 1000
a. m. to 1000 p. m, and will con-
tinue through Sunday. Come up
this weekend and take a look.
Added attraction: The Ringing
Circus will show beside Red Bird
stadium both Saturday and Sun
day.
Curtiss- Wright dominates the
outdoor display with its model of
huge transport plane. Lustron,
the metal-home builders, did not
erect an entire house at the show.
The reason: it costs more to tear
down a Lustron house than it
does to erect one. The porcelain
coated metal pieces are interlock-
ing. When put up to stay, they do.
Lustron uses the west building
of the Curtiss- Wright plant. It's
quite a sight to drive around the
building. Sometimes you can see
100 Lustron houses ready to be
hauled away. Each house has its
own trailer, special-built trailer
with compartments for every
section. Lustron also owns its
own trucks to haul the trailers.
All this "semi" equipment is
painted distinctive blue.
Ebco drinking fountain enjoys
a worldwide sale. So do the hy-
draulics produced by Denison
Engineering. Most emblems on
autos are baked by the L. L. Auld
Co. Many American railroads
order rolling stock from the
Ralston Steel Car Co. Much of
the nations freight rolls on Tim
ken bearing and the trucks as
sembly made by the Buckeye
Steel Castings Co.

biggest musical hits ever to hit

even better than it is said to be.

South Pacific" takes place on
two islands in the South Pacific
during the recent war. Navy
nurse, Ensign Nellie Forbush
MARY MARTINI from Arkansas,
meets and falls in love with a
wealthy middle-aged French
planter, Emile de Becque (Ezio
Pinza). Nellie learns that Emile
has been married to a native
woman and had several children
by her.

Bloody Mary (Juanita HalD
is the Tonkinese woman on the
island who sells grass skirts to
the Americans. The commanding
officer of the island has tried to
stop her selling grass skirts but
in place of stopping her business,
her business always seems to in
crease. She knows only the En-
glish the Americans have taught
her although she isn't sure what
it means, she knows that it gets
results and she uses it according
ly.

Bloody Mary tells of the beauti-
full island of Bali Hal and final
ly persuades him to take her
there where she introduces him
to her beautiful daughter, Lat

ly falls in love with Lat but
will never admit his love be-
cause Liat is a native.

1t. Cable has been sent to the
island to get Emile de Bacque to
volunteer for a dangerous mis-
sion on a nearby Jap-held is
land but Emile refuses to leave
Nellie.

Bloody Mary finally asks 1t. !
Cable if he will marry Liat.
Cable refuses and Mary in turn
tells him in her broken English
what kind of a man she thinks
he is.

Nellie Forbush tells Emile that
she can never marry him. Brok-
en- hearted, Emile volunteers for
the mission to the Jap-held is
land. 1t. Cable realizes his love
for Liat too late and Cable and |
Emile depart for the island.

Nellie realizes her love for
Emile and goes to his plantation
to tell him of her love but he is
not there. She goes to the island
and is told Of Emile's

this country if Legislative proposals
are considered on their merits. No
group or class can be permitted to
enjoy the special privilege of die
tating to Congress unless we want
to abandon liberty and adopt fasc-
ism as our way Of life.
In effect these officials are say
ing: "We would rather have the
Taft Hartley Act in force SO we
can continue our 'slave-labor'
propaganda, instead of having it
improved in the interest of labor"
They must have exactly the power
and privilege they seek without
modification or they will purge
every Congressman who refuses to
obey their orders. Fortunately,
the American people have enough
common sense to realize that the
position now taken by the labor
leaders is pure prejudice and not
reason, so that the propaganda
purge is bound to backfre.
i only wish that some of the
union officials who shout so loudly
for outright repeal would read the
letters / get from the rank and
file members of labor unions who
support the law. They are par
ticularly interested in the protec-
tion against unfair action by their
own leaders, against strikes cal
led without reasonable notice,
against time wasted and pay lost
in jurisdictional strikes and Sec
ondary boycotts. They are in
favor of financial reports and
nom Communist oaths and many
other provisions.
WHAT the union officials are in
w terested in is their own power.
They don't talk much about the
closed shop and the secondary boy
colt, because they know they are
not very popular. Wise labor lead
ers have never found these weapons
necessary. The closed shop has
been forbidden under the Railroad
Mediation Act for years. Brandeis,
Frankfurter and Franklin d.
Roosevelt denounced it as contrary
to American ideals. Few men are
willing to defend openly the Sec
ondary boycott.
Repeal of the Taft Hartley Act
would have restored one-sided
special privileges conferred on
union officials by the Wagner Act
and other laws. cit would have
made unions and their officials
again utterly irresponsible for
arbitrary damage which they
may cause. 1t would have given
them the power to dominate their
own members, to ride high over
the public interest and to become
the bosses of Congress and of
the United States.

This is the uniform Municipal

by the governor.
Am. S. B. 43 (part of the
Youngstown Plan for local gov

1t is now the center of a lot of
trading and proponents of S. B.
49 have been approached to
help pass No. 43 III exchange for
bringing S. B. 49 out on the
floor. Am. S. B. 43 would take
the tax off bank stocks and de-
posits from the local subdivi-

were not allowed when one re-

Am. S. B. 101, 102 and 108
