SHOCKING

In America the greatest and most peaceful nation in
the world dsgracefu situation has arisen in the state of
New York. resulting in rioting and lawlessness.
The trouble began when it was made known that the
we'll known Paul Robson famed singer would appear in
concert at Peekskill New York.
Robson has been dubbed a communist, whether he is
not his actions have been considered American and
large portion of the press has expressed itself this
matter in no uncertain terms
On the other hand Mr.. Robson, must be expected
has his sympahsers, most of whom considered left
wingers communist minded
On Saturday night Catholic, veterans, American
Legons and other groups made their mind that Robe
must not be allowed to stage his concert without
teSt hundreds of them staged protest parade
the Later clashes overurnng of automobiles
ined to have his concert He asked protection and Cover
Thomas E. Dewey ordered such protection however
there was more roting The Robson group claim that it
could have been stopped The police force claimed there
would have been killing if they hadn't kept control
at the danger center in the concert area although they
could not protect all the roads.
It seems to us that it was all right to protest the
Robson concert, if that the way wanted to
show their patriotism but it could have been done in
such he should be allowed to sing speak whenever he
wants to- When he overeps his bounds let the proper
thorties take action against him We not at all in
cord with RObesons views but among those who
feel that the rights of all citizens should be respected
Freedom for ALL That is perhaps the greatest weapon
against Communism.
We like the way Mrs Roosevelt treats this matter in
her "My Day" column. Says she:
I believe the average American should realize that
rotng and lawessness when that they
were as people trying to prove this case in
cited by Communists, still not good propaganda
for democracy in the world.
We, in the United States should, think, make it
very clear that disagree with and dsapprove of many

reality in 1882. That year Peter j.
Mcclure appeared before the Cen
trail Labor Union of New York City
and proposed that general holiday
for the workingman be set aside.
The celebration that year was mere
ly local, but within a very few years
several states had passed laws de-
claring various dates to be legal
holidays for labor. In 1894 the Unit
ed States Congress passed, and Pres
dent Grover Cleveland signed, a bill
establishing a national Labor Day.
The date chosen, of course, was the
first Monday in September, the date
originally suggested by Peter Nc
CURE.
Here in the United States the la
boring man enjoys a standard of
living higher than his counterpart
in other countries and other ages
has ever achieved. Nor has the work
ingman ever before risen to a po-
sition of such esteem as he holds in
this country. This is only natural
since this patton was wrung from
the wilderness by toll, and our civil
lization, more than any other, is the
product of the toll and ingenuity of
the laboring man. 1t is only fitting
that the day set aside to honor him
should be one Of our great national
holidays. 1t has, in fact, become a
major calendar landmark.
The manner in which we in Amer
lea commentaries Labor Day is to
me significant. 1t is day dedicted
to the peaceful pursuit Of pleasure
to picnicking and swimming and
long rides in the country; to spon-
taneous taking advantage Of the
many and varied amusements from
which a choice can be made accord
ing to ones individual taste. 1t
stands in direct contrast to the La.
Dor Day celebrations Of the COM
munist countries, which some mis-
guided or traitorous persons have
pictured as representing the poll
tical ideal of the workingman. The
communists observe Labor Day with
tremendous, well-organized, staged
centered around a dis
play of military strength. This past
May 1st when the Russians observed
their Labor Ray, they paraded di-
vision after division through the
streets of Moscow while their air
units flew overhead. Impressive as
the sight must have been, I person
ally prefer eating a hot-dog at a
baseball game.
