The long-awaited fight on repeal
of the Taft-Hartley labor law nao
begun. Debate had started IN tne
senate with Chairman Ebert D.
Thomas Cd, Utah) Of the LABOR
committee opening for the admins
tration. Government forces we're
committed to an attempt ror out
right repeal of the measure but all
indications pointed to a compro'
mise or nothing.
Meanwhile, John L. Lewis de-
clared that the AFL and ClO hao
betrayed organized labor's cause
by repeatedly agreeing to a COM
promise.
Urging adoption of the admins
tration bill, Thomas said the voter
last November decided the Iatt-
Hartley law was a mistake" Inc
administration seeks to replace II
with a modified version Of the New
Deal Wagner act. Thomas called
for quick repeal Of the TAFT
Hartley law.
In kilograms to all sc senator's
Lewis. head of the United Mine
Workers union, said he had heard

accept four Oppressive amend
ments" to the administration bill.

Lewis charges Of a secret deal.

Gently agreed to accept the four
amendments that ''horrifed'' Lewis.
These four amendments called
for:

2. The filing of financial returns
by unions.
8. The filing Of non-Communist

"In a time when this Western country

them to pieces with heavier and heavier

over two million dollars.

Resolutions
By MRS. JAMES T. SHANHOLTZER
Lincoln County

SOOttf
NEW YEAR is what the name i'm
plies-a year white as the
driven snow, clean as the freshly
laundered linen, a fresh page, an UNI
opened, unwritten book, fresh ma
terial to make of what we will.
Everywhere on New Years V
we hear people on the street, in the
shop, even on the highway, wishing
each other a Happy New Year.
Everyone is in good spirits-hate,
envy and jealousy seem to be swept
away and peace of mind and gen.
crosby of soul hold sway.
Every year at this time young and
old make resolutions, some in jest,
some in earnest-a few to be kept,
but most of them to be broken and
forgotten all too soon.
People are like old automobiles
with a fresh paint job. They have a
nice shiny, clean, fresh appearance,
but underneath they have the same
faults they had last year. Many start
out with high hopes and good in
tentions, but all too soon the old
faults creep in and take over like
dirty spark plugs and broken valves.
The housewife has that lonely, let
down feeling that comes after the
busy, bustling holidays are over
when the extra leaves are taken out
of the table, the Christmas tree is
taken down and the ornaments
packed away for another year.
The clerks settle down to inven-
tory. In fact, each person, no matter
from what walk of life, slowly slides
back into his old routine.
A few have the backbone and will
power to improve their lives and
keep their New Years resolutions,
but the majority continue where
they left off last year, growing older
in their own way until another New
Year rolls around.
