Cutting Two Ways

According to Washington reports, Congress is looking
at much proposed legislation with wary and critical
eye This is largely the result of the decline in business
activity and national income coupled with the attendant
rise in unemployment Most Of the lawmakers seem more
eager than in the past to refrain from passing measures
which might further rock the economic boat.
One suggested law which falls clearly into this cate
CORY would nearly double the present minimum would
eliminate certain exceptions to the law which have been IN

Actually there is good reason for believing that it would Go
just the opposite For the most part, the minimum wage
directly affects only the unslled the marginal worker the
beginner and the part-tme worker The value of these
workers to the employer very limited If the law required

necessarily employ as few of them possible
This would be particularly noticeable in enterprises
such as retailing which offer many opportunities for be-
gnners and occasional workers. The typical retailer really
has watch the pennies if he is to make both ends
meet The consensus of experts in the field that too high
minimum wage along with the other restrictions, would
lead to widespread ayotfs.

Klunsmen Are Puppets For 'Higher-Ups'

Recent developments provide encouragement for those
who say the South correct its own evils.
In Alabama the state Senate last week passed bill
proposed by Governor James f. Folsom, forbddng the
wearing of masks public This bill is directed against the
Ku Klux Kan which has been raising its ugly head again.
Also in Alabama, veterans groups are organizing
committee against crime and violence result OF the
beating of veterans by hooded believed to be
members of the klan.
Albert A. Carmichael, attorney general Of Alabama,
said something which deserves wide attention
The "mobsters and gangsers in Kan robes, Carmlch-
ae declared merely puppets for hgherups who occupy
push-carpet offices in skyScrapers
These hgher-ups Carmichael explained the Klan
to keep the issue burning and thus maintain an econ
omc and political barrier between the white and black work
ers."
In other words any worker who joins the Kan is be-
ing manipulated" by wealthy interests which hostile to
workers, either white or black.

According to real estate lobbyists the housing short
age is only fgment of the imagination.
Furthermore, say the lobbyists the Administrator
public housing program is nothing more than socalstc

But here is what the conservative New York Times
says about the housing shortage:
"The housing shortage is a result of the decline in resi-

Democracy And Unions

The United States is going all out to make Germany
democracy as it should be. When the ended the first
step taken toward reesabshing democratic Germany was
to organize democratic trade unions there.
Many labor leaders sent by government
complete this task Joseph Keenan, secretary Of the Chic
ago Federation of Labor and chairman Of Labors Lea
que for Political Education spent two and onehaf years IN
Germany for purpose of forming unions among the
Germany workers exactly like our labor unions here
The process Of bringing the Germany workers into labor
organizations is still going and is still being sponsored by
government
1t seems ironica that while going all out in Ger
many establish labor unions, big business and the Con
gress of the United States to be going all out to destroy
democratic trade unions here
This is two-faced policy If our government recognizes
that there cannot be established democracy in Germany
like our own without trade unions then how hope to
keep our present form of democracy here by destroying trade
unions The whole thing nonsensca doesn't it May
