How 'dy, folks this is the last
news item before labor day, the
day set aside for the worker.
To some it means a day of rest,
to others it means a day of toll,
but all in all it is a day for US
to show our strength by spend
inga few hours and march in the
Labor Day Parade, it takes so
little effort to do it so why not
come out and have little fun.
March with your fellow work
ers.
1t is very surprising to note
the very small group that at
tends the meetings, these meet
ings are held for your benefit
and not just a few, why are
meetings held? To discuss those
little problems that tax your
mind and to fight for your rights
and to protect what you already
have, their are things for a large
body to decide on and not just
a small group, so in the future
please try and attend, it only
takes a couple of hours one night
month. Is that asking toe
much? / don't think SO.
Their are good share of
people around the shop who are
actually afraid of a foreman,
why be that way? You have a
union to back you. A foreman
has the company to back him.
Are they scared of you? No. So
why be scared of them? If a
foreman tells you something to
do and you think he is wrong
why. not see your steward or
committeeman and let them
straighten out the foreman in
stead of you. Always go to the
steward for any little thing.
Learn to be a tattle tale. The
other people do, so why should

Anfi- Communist Laws
 Are Being Considered
 |n Thirteen Staies
(By The Associated Press)


 Thirteen states are considering proposals to bar Communists from public jobs.
 Some measures now before legisla- lures would require people on pub lie payrolls, including teachers. to take loyalty oaths.
 Other tills are aimed at keeping Communists out of a wide range of positions.
 Maryland and Illinois are study ing suggestions for outlawing the Communist party.
 Moves are under way in other states to put crimp in the party line m one way or another.
 Oaths of loyalty or allegiance to the U. S. would be required of pub lie school teachers and college and university professors in Oklahoma, Nebraska and New Hampshire.
 All public officials and candidates for public office would have to do likewise in California.
 In Texas. all state officials and employees, in c ding those in schools that get money from the state, would have to swear they never have been members of the Communist party or other subversive group.
 The meaning of the bills and the reasons they are offered seem to be clear. Assemblyman Frank J. McMul- len R-Brooklyn). sponsor of two New York bills. said:
 "As a nation we have taken a stand against Communism in our foreign affairs and have appropri- ated billions to fight it. At the same time we should bar these peo- pie who owe their allegiance to- a foreign theology from holding posts in out state or municipal govern ments."

 He referred in a broadcast last night (ABC) to President Truman's use of the three initials to meet criticism of his military aide, Maj. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan. 6
 Pearson suggested the President join him in forming "a new mili- tant crusading order. of Servants of Brotherhood to promote better un- derstanding between our neighbors here at home and our friends abroad
 President Truman, in rough old soldier language that startled Washington, declared last Tuesday Any SOB. who thinks he can cause any of those people (members |of his official family) to be dis charged by me by some smart aleck statement over the air or in the paper, he has got another think Ieoming"
 The President did not mention Pearson by name, but last night Pearson said: Last week, Brother hood Week, the President of the United States threw name in my direction which was not meant to be brotherly.
 { However, what he called me is mot important am going to Take those initials yu used, MT. President, and use them proudly in an entirely different way. I would like to suggest that in the future we get away from the ugliness at tached to those initials and make them mean Servants of Brother hood -"
