Hooded Gonqs in DixieIond

LMOST DAILY THE news wires are
"A bringing news of hooded gang vio-
lance against innocent men, and women
and even children in the South. The latest
of these reports tell of the maullng ana
beating UP of newspaper reporter. APP
parently this reporter Clarke StallWorth
of the Birmingham Post, was on the rlgnt
road to put his finger on the hooded gang
sters when he was apprehended' The gang
sters gave him bit of southern justice"
to keep his mouth shut, perhaps for good.
Mr. Stallworth escaped and so the story
of another brutal attack came to light.
Of course, beatings in sunny Dixieland
is nothing new. Labor organizers have
been receiving this kind of treatment in
the Southland for many, many years now.
This is the standard method of these jim
Crow biggots these labor haters, these
haters of everything that is progressive
and decent ever since the days OF slavery.
The surprising thing about this repre-
hensible situation is the total inability OF
the so-called law enforcement agencies to
do anything about it. Even today, when
every decent and self respecting citizen OF
the South cries out against these vicious
gangster methods, the local sheriffs and
their deputies blandly declare they are
"doing everything they cam to apprehend
the culprits The fact of the matter is that
in practically every instance, these sherlfts
and deputies are working hand-in-glove
with the hooded night-riders
In most instances that goes for the
Judges as we'll How else can anyone ex-
plain the preposterous "bail" of $500 in
cases where indisputable evidence catches
UP with one or another of these miserable
gangsters? How else can we explain the
action of these judges - and their lilly
white" iuries - when they refuse to con-
vict admitted culprits and murderers?
What happened to the murderers OF
Caleb Hill, Jr? What happened to the
sheriff in this case who so conveniently
left the Jail open, in the dead Of night.
SO that the lynchers would not have -
and did not have any trouble in abduct-
ing Hill whose horribly mutilated and
bullet-riddled body was found along a
lonely country road just a few hours after
he was arrested for God only knows what
Crime?
We have always been taught and
we believed it, too-that in America every
mans home is his castle. Yes, we were
under the impression that this is the land
of the free and the home of the brave.
Maybe it still is, but if so, somebody
ought to so advise the victims of the
hooded gangs of sunny Dixieland.

its punitive provisions aimed at the work.
ing people.
Tom Burke was dead set against Taft
Hartley before his campaign, during his
campaign and since he's been in Washing
ton.
The Times hated him ever since. And
The Times will keep on hating and batting
him as long as Tom Burke remains true to
his campaign platform as long as he re-
mains loyal servant of the common peo
pie of our community.
The Times is for retaining the injunc-
ton" provisions of Taft-Hartley. The
Times is against seizure of plants or indus
tries by the government in case of strikes.
This is certainly understandable. They
don't need plant seizure as long as they
can have the injunction. Every sane per-
son, and certainly every worker knows
that injunctions are used solely for pur-
poses of breaking strikes. And once a
strike is broken, what the h do you need
government seizure for?
That's how simple it is.
But Tom Burke is not the only one who
opposes injunctions in strikes. Senator
Wayne Morse (R., Ore) declared on the
floor of the Senate only couple of days
ago that injunctiaps in strikes are used
solely as "union-bIsting" and Strike
breaking" weapons
Senator Morse is right The history of
the labor movement is replete with exam
pies testifying to the truth of this state
ment
Tom Burke learned the bitter truth of
this statement in real life as labor union
official
No, Mr., Editor, we don't believe Tom
Burke will change his position on this vital
point even if you insist on continuing your
childish game of name-calling.

FIGHT fhe Evicfions

TNHE TOLEDO METROPOLITAN Hous-
Il ing Authority has ordered the evic-
tions of 274 'over-income" families from
: their present homes in the various federal
housing projects BY "over-income" is
meant that these 274 families have
greater family income than is permitted by
the rules of the projects.
All this is very nice, the only question
Is: Where should these people go? To this
simple question no one seems to have an
answer. OF course, everyone admits that
the housing shortage is still "acute" in the
lower rental brackets. And obviously these
families are in no position to pay exorbi-
tant rents or to buy reasonably priced"
homes at, say around $4,000 or so.
So the tenants proceeded to do the only
thing any self respecting person or group
would do. They organized And they be-
gan to fight Led by Councilman James B.
Simmons and Richard Lazette, president
of the Toledo Industrial Union Council,
CIO, they are putting up fight. Provide
decent homes for these people or stop
these evictions!" That is what they say.
And they're absolutely right. More power
to them!
AS for the latest plan of the Housing
Authority to ask for Is per cent increase
in rent for these projects and SO save
about "a families from evictions" is non
sense. Most of these tenants have tough
enough time to meet their present pay
ments. Furthermore, il seems to us that
that is just another little trick to give the
green light to landlords for wholesale
rent increase in this community.

Unemployment Could Be A Helpful Thing
By Pete Zvara

are holding on to it. Spending has been cur
tailed. People are not buying,
And they are not buying because people
are holding on to what little finances they
still have for that "rainy day" They are
afraid of unemployment. Actually a great
many people have practically nothing to fall
back on. This is certainly indicated by the
ever increasing applications for unemploy-
nent insurance and relief.
X
OF COURSE, The Times brushes all this
aside. In the same editorial they declare: 1T
is not lack of purchasing power that is re-
sponsible for the business decline" If this is
so, why don't people buy? Certainly they need
the things we manufacture. Why is the Fed
eral Reserve Board so interested in the crucial
problem of consumer finances? Why is
everyone from the Presidential Board of
Economic Advisors on down in the vital
question purchasing power?
Again The Times ignores these basic
questions. Or else they don't have an answer
they don't know what they're talking about
HOWEVER THIS is not SO. They know
what they're talking about When they say
that "a considerable unemployment could be
helpful" they simply sing age old song.
Make the workers starve make them fight for
the few available jobs and that will bring
about "a lowering of the costs of productions. !"
In other words, lower wages.
Furthermore, under those conditions work
er will be pitted against worker and that
will bring about the weaknening, if not the
entire destruction of our labor unions. That
is what they are driving at but they don't
have hte courage to say it outright.
Of course, when The Times fights for
retention of the Taft-Hartley Act that is pre-
cisely what they have in mind.
What The Times and this goes for the
vast bulk of the so-called public press" -
so conveniently forgets to mention is the profit
margin of the great, and not so great, corpora
tons. They know that these profits are fam
tastic. But according to them, that's all right.
Let the workers suffer. No wage increases, but
rather wage cuts. And to achieve that they are
willing to welcome unemployment on ''con-
siderable" scale as something good" And
just in case the workers should decide to fight
back, they want the Taft-Hartley Act, espe-
cially its injunction provisions.
Well, that's their program.
But don't think that the vast majority of
our people particularly working people, will
have anything but contempt for such a
suicidal policy.

else in the labor movement knows anything
about economics or what Is wrong with our
present economic system or what to do about
it. Mr. Reuther, according to this profound
gentleman, is wholly ignorant of basic eco

And he says this because President Reuther,
along with good many other labor leaders
in the country are going right ahead with
their plans to demand wage increases, pen
sions and other benefits

NOW AS AL SMITH used to say, let's
look at the record. Admittedly the country is
in a sharply developing economic recession.
Already over million workers are jobless.
Further production curtailments are taking
place in practically all industries. We even
hear of blast furnaces being banked. 1t is free
ly predicted that by August the number of
unemployed will pass the million mark and
by midwinter this figure should pass the
million mark.
And all this is taking place in late spring
when everyone expected an upswing in our
various industries.
What causes these periodic depressions?
This is almost begging the question. People
and j mean primarily working people -
simply don't have the money to buy what
they produce Whenever this happens manu-
featuring stops. And people are laid off This
is so evident that even the Federal Reserve
Board recognize it, Only few months ago

finances. In other words they wanted to know

Eisenhower Fooled
By ReactiOneries
by bradford v. Carter, LPA Columnist

GENERAL DWIGHT EISENHOWER presi-
~ dent of Columbia University fell into one
of reactions cruder traps last week, when he
attacked the bipartisan federal aid to educa-
tion bill.
Altho stating that he doesn't oppose help
ing the poorer states, Eisenhower insisted that
any bill which gives aid to all the states must
be opposed. An overall aid program might be-
come "yet another vehicle by which the be-
levers in paternalsm, if not outright social
ism, will gain still additional power for the
central government"
The federal aid bill, which passed the
Senate with tidy majority provides assist
ance for the school systems of all the states
The extent of the aid will be determined by
the ability of the states to take care of their
own needs. The poorest states will get the
most aid
Eisenhower, apparently, has not read sec
ton two of the pending bill. 1t says In no un-
certain terms that no federal agency is "to
exercise any direction, supervision, or control
over" any states schools.
Intl Business Machine Co. President
Thomas Watson promoted Eisenhower into the
presidency of Columbia University Some lib
erals wondered just what Watsons motives
were Could 1t be, they asked that Watson and
his Wall Street cronies want to WOO the pop
ular hero away from the liberalism he seemed
to hold?
IN any event, eisenhower DOuBnJ a very
rotten apple, when he let the conservatives
sell him on opposing the school aid bill
The danger today that some central agency
will corrupt free education in America comes
not from liberal government but from private
interest groups.
Witness the MANS declaration that it is
setting up its own centralized educational de-
partment" The NAM said that it will "get the
story of industry's problems and objectives be-
fore the students of the nation, in grade and
high schools as well as colleges"
Witness the request from the House I'm
American Activities Committee - now as al
ways In reactionary hands - that schools send
In copies of all text books for anti-union
Chairman John Wood ID. Ga.) and his col
leagues to censor
Significant is the fact that the Generals
letter was not sent to the chairman of the
House committee now holding hearings on the
school aid bill, but to the bills most rabid op-
ponent - Rep. Ralph Gwinn (R. N.Y. Gwinn
is member of the House Labor Committee,
which is now considering the bill in subcom-
mittee hearings.
GWinns attack upon rent control last win
ter was circulated at the expense of the real
estate lobby and the Committee for Constitu-
tonal Government, consistent foe of all pro-
labor legislation.
Once when a union-member laundry work
er was describing the low wage standards of
that industry, Gwinn told her that if she was
dissatisfied with her pay she could take in
washing at her home.
This isn't the sort of company a man as
high in the esteem of America as Ike" Eisen-
hover ought to be keeping.
