If one chooses this philo-
sophy certainly nothing is
good or successful.
Unions are not perfect.
We may be sure they never
will be. Unions give to work
ers many benefits = benefits
that are priceless. They are
doing a tremendous and ne
cessary job and we would not
want to turn back the calen-
dar to the time when Ameri-a
can workers had no protec-
ton. We do not want the un-
organized and anti-union
worker to use our defects or
shortcomings to cause our
obstruction.
Take seniority for an example.
Seniority has become so usual
in the organized workers life
they overlook it's value. If un-
ions gave nothing else to the
worker except seniority, they
would in most instances, receive
substantial, solid value in return
for the payment of dues.
Of this l can give definite and
convincing proof. If you were
able to take 100000, 60 to De-
troit and try to purchase seniori-
ty at the Ford Motor Co., try the
same at Willys-O Overland or Lib
bey-Owens-Ford you will know J.
what ! mean. You will comes
back without seniority. This
should be ample evidence there
are some things in unions be-
yond and above the mere pay
ment of dues.
Organized labor or unions
are not above criticism but they
are above the censure or dia-
tribe of those who would ruin
the whole structure because of
some petty prejudice, disagree
ment or dislike.
Unions are building a better
America-with your dues you
are helping our civilization.

many hot issues this year, has
set Tuesday, Feb. Is, at 7 p. m.
to hear proponents of HB-106,
Res. William j. Hart ID. Cuya-

What About Housing?
Fe deral low-cost housing
seems to be moving. But there's
a big "but" in the picture. Well
heeled and ruthless, opponents
of low-cost housing are planning
strategy, button-holing legisla-
tors, preparing for a fight.
Real estate lobbyists, backing
urban redevelopment, are pull
ing strings to split the housing
picture into several segments.
They want to bail out slum own
ers, capitalize on Stub re-devel-
opment and block federally-fi-
nanced housing projects.
Backing low-cost housing be-
side Labor and liberals, is the
temper of the public; strained to
the breaking point by the real
estate loby. Blazing battles can
easily be predicted.
Ferguson Law Repeal
Hearings Open
The Ferguson Law started
down the road to oblivion 1--WE
hope) in the House Industry and
Labor Committee this week and
the atmosphere was startlingly
different than two years ago
when the law was passed.
The hearing room, crowded
with Labor representatives, rang
with applause several times as
witnesses labeled the bill bad
law, worse sense. CIO Secretary
Treasurer Jacob Clayman called
it 'an appendage to Taft-Hart-
ley" passed in a moment of hys-
terra and strange madness.
CIO Public Workers who rap
ped the bill included Herb Stems,
Philip Dore, Harry l.. Mentzner
and George Snyder. Twenty
other Labor spokesmen and
State Auditor Joe Ferguson call
ed for repeal.
Opposing repeal was the bills
author, Senator David Nick,
Ferguson (R., Cambridge who
staged an hysterical, hair-pull-
ing, breast beating defense. THE
sovereignty of the Government is
supreme ind should not be ques-
toned" he shouted, glaring at
Labor representatives.
Unimpressed by his mock he
roics, the committee voted 9 to
5 for repeal and by a similar.
vote okayed a measure giving
public workers the right to join
Labor Unions.
Oh yes, Ohio Association of
Manufacturers lobbyist, Carl
Tangerman, protested repeal, but
he had no effect on the vote
which saw the eight Democrats
present and Republican Guy
Hiner Stark voting for repeal.
The five mo" votes, all Repub-
lican, came from Johnson, Adele,
Cloud, Ritteneour and Farley.

Rep. Rankin I'd. Miss.) last
week put into the Congressional
Record a Pioneer Press report that
the state committee in Minnesota

significant because he felt
