Our Irnpurtiul Press
Our impartial press:


Editor Edward T. Leech of The Pittsburgh Press
(ScrppsHoward) recently made of those extrashrt
anda-oothbrush tours of Great Britain He sounded OUT
public opinion on conditions"
His analysis to the effect that the Labor Govern
ment sending Britain straight to ruin You could almost
his typewriter chuckle his inkpece compared the
British Government with the Fair Deal.
Egad Sir they both considered the welfare of the work
ing That means the welfare state" That means
"statsm." That means "paternalsm." That means "co
lectvism" Forsooth that means destruction.
Mr. Leech's trip was like those of the political commen
tators during the 1913 campaign this country They spent
their employers to write pieces they could have writ
ten just well Tor poorly in their Offices After ALL
read Gallup and Roper at home just easily he
can in Sioux City, Macon or Phoenix.
After Mr.. Leech came home he exhibited his fine inn
partay further when he jumped President James L.
McDevt of the Pennsylvania Federation of Labor for ask
ing Pittsburgh unoniss to support Edward Leonard for
Mayor.
Leech said McDevitt pledged the support of every AF
local and member to Leonards candidacy McDeytt pointed
out that he pledged the support of membership
to anybody He further pointed out he has such auth
ority.
Leech also labeled McDevtt union politician" That's
peculiar charge naSmuch McDevtt has partci
paed any political campaign since becoming president of
the Pennsylvania Federation except by direction of the Fed
erations membership.
The Pittsburgh editor further called McDevtt "self
appointed labor leader That's another curious charge in
asmuch Leechs newspaper has reported McDevtts
election by unanimous vote president of the state Fedora
tion each year since 1889.
Our impartial press indeed.

Unions Help Everybody

Speaking the radio the other evening" one of Cal
fornias big businessmen expressed himself about Labor
and Unions 1t is true he admitted that many Union men,
bers have good wage scales and working conditions But
and is where he got off his shoa around them are
non-Union men doing the work and getting just
good wages.
Yes, he spoke the TRUTH for Los Angeles There are
still great many Union people in LA Where they are
performing work similar to that of the Union people, their
wages usually about the those received by the
Union MEMBERS This true because the Union there and
because it has established the scale If the Union
there; if there Unions at ALL the would
be considerably lower.
Unions benefit non Union people well Union
pe They also benefit businessmen by producing greater
purchasing and by eliminating unfair advantages due
to wage determinations Unions always increase the
of non Union workers in their locality In thousands of in
stances employers have raised wages to prevent Union
ganizaton. That's DID, old trick.
The Los Angeles radio speaker did not give the whole
truth Perhaps he did not understand it, Perhapsas
think probable-he only interested in advancing the
anti Union theory that individuals without Unons just
as well off Union members, falacy and fraud which
far too many working people believe.

Smelly Appointment

1t is only just to note that the Senate refusal to confirm
Carl genfrz United States Steel Corporation executive
chairman of the Federal Munitions Board due in
small to the determined opposition of Senator Byrd
of Virginia Little organized labor likes the semifeudal
outlook and political shenangans of the Senator it appauds
his objections to appointment which, literally smelled
to high heaven
Senator Byrd's stand, recall, based on the an
nounced readiness of Mr. genrtZ to accept private salary
in addition to government 1t took lot of crust even
for Big Steel official to continue drawing $4,000
while getting the payroll of Uncle Sam to the tune of
$4,000 year 1t still more improper for the Admin
israOn to make such appointment and justify it the
ground that Mr. Igenfrih would hold the job only
year"
The Senate Armed Services Committee, in recommend
ing the appointment by 9-to4 vote maintained that Mr.
Igenfritz chairman Of the Munitions Board would have
nothing to do with awarding contracts to his
any other company. Therefore, the committee maj
ority concluded there nothing improper in the dual
salary.
Senator Byrd rejected this tortured argument He made
clear that Craftsmanship of this important agency involves
the formulation and supervision of contracting
policies We glad the Senate upheld this view and
jected Mr. Trumans illchosen appointee.

Whitewush

The Senate subcommittee Privileges and Elections
has finally upheld the election last November of Homer Fer
R Mich) and rejected the contention of Frank E.
Hook the Democratic candidate, that he counted out
by the improper tabuation of thousands of votes
There is thing about this action that stands out
The investigation only superficial, and yet the Com
mtee had difficulty in turning up plenty of evidence
to show that there many irregularities and that large
number of votes not tabulated.
In view of the coseness of the election the question
naturally follows why didn't the Committee go ahead with
full scale investigation?
The only answer the Committee gives is that "'there
was no indication that Homer Ferguson directly in
directly responsible" for these law violations.
Just the same, something appears badly wrong with
election practices in Michigan than be covered by

lust A Reminder

What's the best way to strengthen the labor movement
the remaining months of 1949 to better equip to meet
the problems of 1850 and after?
Suppose this question asked you, how would you
it? Various could be given but this paper
ventures to suggest that of the bespehaps the best
would be to concentrate buying union goods and
vices from now on through the Christmas holidays
Union label buying is one of the best ways to aid the
labor movement because makes union jobs and helps to
maintain and improve wage and working standards of AFL
unions which have been the forefront of abors battles
for co. 70 and years This of needs saying
but all to forget it and then and it well
to be reminded of it from time to time
So-get the label the goods you buy and ask to be
served by union and And wherever possible,
buy the union products and services from advertisers this
paper mentioning where you their ad.
