the first Pentecost Sunday. On December 9th, 1854, Pope Plus TX defined it as such officially that the faithful might know it to be one of Gods own truths.
 Mary, miraculously the vir- gin-mother!' Mary, miraculously full of grace from her concep- tion to her death! Mary, Gods most highly honored creature, both on earth and in heaven! Mary, your Mother and ours, bequeathed to us by the dying Jesus! Mary, now sitting at His Sacred Feet, yearning for our love, listening for our petitions.
 Do you mind, then, dear non- Catholic neighbor, if we ask our heavenly Mother to implore her beloved Son to give to you and to us this Christmas day, and every other day, what He knows to be best for us; and if we pray that we all shall be given enough human wisdom to have faith in His infinite wisdom?

Catholic Information


Do you mind, dear non-Cath- ollie neighbor, if, in extending to you our heartiest Christmas greetings, we make mention of the little maiden-mother of Jesus, without whom, we think, the picture of that first Christ mas morn would be incomplete?
 On the eighth day of this very month the Catholic Church throughout the world celebrated that stupendous honor conferred by God on the Mother of Christ the Immaculate Conception a doctrine so fitting and so logi- cal that we Catholics wonder why it is so little understood by many sincere folk of other creeds.
 Most Christians subscribe to the mystery of the Virgin Birth, although no human mind can comprehend it. Is it then so pre- posterous to believe that the Mother of our Divine Savior was further honored by another act of God, which made her free even from original sin from the very instant of her conception in her mothers womb?
 This doctrine is part of the total Deposit of Faith, in the possession of the Church since

 A change of course, the VA explained, means change of a veterans educational or voca- tional objective. It does not mean changes made within a course.
 For example, a veteran may change one or more unit sub- jectS of his overall course of study, or he may drop a sub- ject or add another without having to go to the VA for ap- preval.
 Or, he may progress to a more advanced phase of his course, also without having to apply to the VA. As instances, he may go from strengthening to a specialized field of engin- eering; or he may go from pre- medical to dental, or from lib eral arts to journalism.
 On the other hand, the VA said, if the veteran wants to change his c. I. Bill course of study from medicine to engin- eering, or from carpentry to typewriter repair, for example, his case would fall under the provisions of the new regula- tionS.

Senate Committee
0kays 75e Wage

Washington (LPA)-The Senate
Labor Committee has approved a
bill raising the minimum wage to
75c an hour, and extending the
child labor provisions of the Fair
Labor Standards Act to all indus
tries engaged in interstate COM
merce.
The action came on a day when
the Senate was debating Taft
Hartley repeal or revision, and the
bill cannot possibly come before
the Senate until after TIL action
is completed, the Atlantic Pact is
ratified, and all appropriations bills
for the year starting July l, 1949,
are voted.
While unions had been pressing
for a minimum wage of 81, and for
extended coverage of workers in
industries not now protected by the
wages and hours provisions, the
Labor Committee refused to act on
any extension of coverage, and
specifically voted against a pro-
posal that workers in agricultural
processing industries in the "area
of production" be covered by the
law.

kLRB Rebukes
Denhanl, Sustains
Picketing Rights

Washington (LPA)-The NLRB
last week vetoed two attempts by
General Counsel Robert Denham
to interfere with labor's right to
picket unfair employers.
The board said it is dismissing
secondary boycott charges made
against the Oil Workers Int'l
Union. While on strike against
Standard Oil in Toledo, Ohio,
OWIU men refused to handle Pure
Oil products that were moved
through Standard docks.
Pure Oil screamed boycott, but
the NLRB realized that the unions
purpose wasn't a secondary boy
colt, but a strike against Stand
ards operations. "To rule other
wise might outlaw every effective
strike" the board declared.
In another case the board refus-
ed to move against the Int'l Bro
therho6d of Teamsters-AFL, whose
pickets in Louisiana in 1947 per-
suaded AFL railway workers to
aid their strike against a number
of rice mills. The board pointed out
that railroad work is regulated by
the Railway Labor Act, not the
Taft-Hartley law. '~'7'
The boards decision was unan-
imous in both cases.
Denham, however, bounced back
for more. He is pushing another
illegal picketing charge against
the IBT. The Taft Hartley czar
doesn't like the idea of the IBT
putting a rolling picket line" on
the trucks of a company which
from New York to New Jer-
sey to get out of renewing its con-
tract with the union.
Also last week the nations most
strategically placed union-hater de-
manded that the board reverse two
recent decisions in which it refus-
ed to consider some more of his
unfair labor practices charges.
The NLRB had said that the
involved don't substan-
TALLY effect interstate commerce.
Denham's contention is that if he
wants case prosecuted it's got to
be prosecuted.

ILauds Organized
ILabor's Part In
Recovery Program

Trinidad, Colo. (LPA)-Organ.
lied labor deserves major credit
for the success of the European
recovery program-that's the word
brought to the annual convention
Of the Colorado State Federation
Of Labor here by John II. G. Pier
son, assistant to Paul Hoffman
chief Of the Economic Cooperation
Administration.
"From the beginning, the Amer
lean labor movement has given the
European recovery program its en-
thusiastic support" Pierson told
the 200 delegates.
even more, the labor movement
has gone beyond merely supporting
the program. 1t has made the Mar
shall Plan its own.
Whatever success the plan has
attained to date has been in no
small measure due to support given
it, both in this country and over
seas, by the millions of men and
women who work for wages and
salaries"
Pierson also lauded the Colorado
Federation for having "given" its
former president John E. Gross, to
the ECA. Gross, who had been
labor adviser to the ECA mission
in Norway, is now chief of that
mission.
Assistant Secretary of Labor
Ralph Wright, addressing til e
same convention, assailed propa-
ganda about "Big Labor" spread
by enemies of unions. 'In spite of
much propaganda to the contrary,
labor has not grown as strong and
powerful since enactment of the
Wagner act in 1885 as its enemies
claim," Wright said. AS evidence,
he pointed out that in the past ten
years, corporate profits increased
twice as much as wages Of manu-
featuring workers.
"You frequently hear comments
about big, strong and rich unions" +"
Wright added "But you seldom
hear anyone mention that 40 per
cent of all industrial workers in
the United States are employed by
only 1/10 of l per cent of all en-
ployers. 1t would be well for those
who oppose labor unions to remem-
Der these facts"

Coop Bakery To
Supply New York
City Is Planned

New York (LPA)-The most
serious threat to the established
big business baking industry, and
the best news in years for consum-
ers in this area, all was contained
in a simple announcement last
week by striking AFL bakery
workers and teamsters here.
Locked out by the big six en-
ployers Is weeks ago, the 1000
workers last week announced plans
to set up a cooperative factory, to
turn out pies and bread and cakes
of high quality. They have called
on the Council for Cooperative De-
velopmen,t headed by President
Arnold Zander of the State, Coun-
ty G. Municipal Employes-AFL and
Education Director Victor Reuther
of the United Auto Workers for
help.
A union cooperative organizing
committee has been set up by
Local so Of the Bakery and Confec-
tionary Workers and Local $50 of
Int'l Brotherhood of Teamsters to
plan the cooperative. The firms
which are closed turned out 10000
900 loaves of bread alone each
week-706 of the city's total sup
ply. The committee now is work
ing out technical details, and plans
to invite other unions to join in
putting up the capital for the CO.
op. 1t is planned to have both bloc
and individual memberships.
Whether the lockout is ended or
not, the union intended to operate
the coop as pilot plant with two
aims: to prove that workers can
have a fve-day week in a plant
that operates six days each week;
and to improve the quality of bread
that millions of New York families
eat.
President Joseph Clark of Local
$50 and President Richard Dwyer
of Local so point out that if the
money the unions are now spend
ing on strike benefits would be in
vested instead in a coop plant en-
the locked-out workers, it
would be a bargain all round.
The employers council, speaking
for four of the six who have re-
fused to negotiate an acceptable
contract, called the coop plan "a
half baked idea," but were quick
to add that "we want to get back
to our jobs"

Rail Waymen's Pay
Up 1OO0I Since Al
Convention Told

Detroit (LPA)-The largest con-
vention in 30 years of the Brother
hood Of Maintainence Of Way En-
ployes-AFL got under way here
this week, the first sessions high
lighted by reports of unprecedent-
ed gains in membership and in
benefits won in negotiation.
Nearly 800 delegates are on
hand from all parts of the United
States and Canada. The 65-year-old
Brotherhood represents one of the
largest crafts Of railroad workers.
President Thomas C. Carol was
cheered for his report on wage
gains since the last convention
1912c in 1916, 1512c in 1947 and
seven cents this year with the 40
hour week at 48 hours pay due to
become effective in September.
He said that all previous records
had been broken in the percentage
Of the total railroad mileage of the
country now covered by the Broth
erhood contracts. Also the total
membership shows a substantial in
crease since the last convention in
1916, in spite of heavy recent lay
offs in the industry.
Earnings for railroad track en-
ployes have increased by well over
1000 since 1941, Carroll declared.
He said major detectives Of the
Brotherhood for the immediate fut-
ure are to obtain uniform wage
rates throughout the country and
year-around stabilization of en-
ployment. He charged that lack of
proper planning by management
results in fall and winter layoffs of
as high as 500 on some railroads.

|LuFoHeffe Named
To Top ADA Post

Washington (LPA)-Charles La
Toilette, former liberal Republican
Congressman from Indiana, last
week accepted the new post of ma
tional director of Americans for
Democratic Action.
He'll be in charge of ADA's cleo
toral activities as we'll as the drive
to exapnd its membership. Increas-
ed cooperation between ADA, farm
organizations, and the AFL and
CIO-both of which are prominent
ly represented in ADA-will be one
of LaFollette's main goals.
"ADA's determination to fight
for economic as well as political
equality of opportunity is one of
the most hopeful things in post
war America" he declared.
LaFollette said that he agrees
with ADA's policy of supporting
progressive Legislators in both
major parties. He describes him
self as an Independent.
"The Republicans of Indiana
made it clear in 1916 that they did
not want their Republicanism de
filed by liberalism" said the man
they purged. However" he de-
clared, "there are some states
where you can be Republican and
"A liberal too. ADA supports the
good Republican progressives in
Congress as wholeheartedly as it
does liberal Democrats"
LaFollette, after his party re-
tired him from Congress-where
for four years he had supported
pro-labor bills-was appointed gov
ernor Of Wuertemberg- Baden, one
of the three states in the American
zone of Germany. He resigned
after a clash with US commander
Gen. Lucius Clay.
Clay ordered a curfew in one of
the principal cities in LaFollette's
area, after blaming a riot caused
by hoodlums on the local federation
of labor. Objecting to the increas-
ingly anti-labor drift of Clay's
policies, LaFollette baked. When
his protests were ignored he sur
prised the American military by
making them as well as the Ger
man obey the curfew regulations.
In taking over the ADA job La
Toilette remarked that his two
years in Europe convinced him that
progressive social and economic
policy at home can be one of AM
erica's best weapons in winning
support of the rest of the world for
our foreign policy.

I
Sentiment in Congress in favor
Of cutting the cost Of the Federal
government is growing fast. Many
things have contributed to it
among them, the decline in busi-
ness and employment, the fact that
a heavy Federal deficit now seems
inevitable, and the reluctance o1
the lawmakers to increase taxes
because complaints from the "folks
back home about Federal spending
are increasing.
However, sentiment in favor OF
cuts in spending, and practical ac-
tion toward that end, are two diff
ferent things. Congress is Away
bedeviled by pressure groups, al
of whom are in favor Of cutting
the appropriations that go to some
one else and increasing their own
AS an obvious example, there is
hardly a chamber of commerce that
doesn't pay lip service TO the cause
of economy-and then whoop it uE
whenever it sees a chance to gel
a slice of Federal tax money for
its own area.
In the long run, the decisive fac
tor will be public sentiment-tht
wishes Of the voters as to fisca
policy. A short time ago the
Omaha World-HeraId carried OF
an interesting experiment. 1t pub
lished a full account Of a speech
made by Senator Byrd, in which he
described various spending meas.
ures now before Congress, anC
pointed out that the billions they
would cost would have to be paid
by all the people. The World Her
aid then published ballot on
which It's readers could express
their views on the matter.
The first question asked for opin-
ion on a straight 10 per cent cut
in all Federal expenditures that
can be cut. Only 134 who answered
were against this, while $3.50 were
for it. The balance of the ques-
tions covered specific legislative
measures such as Federal housing,
Federal aid to education, the ma
tional health plan, arms to Europe
under the North Atlantic Pact, etc.
In every instance the vote was
overwhelmingly in favor of strict
economy. On the health plan, for
instance, 5,828 expressed them
selves as being against it and 80
for On increased payroll and in
come taxes, 5,876 said no while a
mere SO approved them.
