An Indictment
By RUTH TAYLOR

WHO gains from violence? Who is hurt by it?
w No one gains All are hurt. When riot
occur, it is not only the victims who are in
jured. 1t is the whole population
Riots are an open confession of inferiority.
In democracy there is no need to resort to
force to express ourselves. We do not have
to be afraid of a contrary opinon-because we
are free to express our own views and to
translate them into action by means of the
ballot box
1t takes two groups to riot Yes, the riot
ing is done by irresponsible mobs, but it is an
indictment of the whole community of the
whole people-of those who did not face the
facts, who shut their eyes to causes For moth
ing happens without a cause No mob can riot
unless respect for law is at a low ebb Molos
never composed of the educated Mobs
do not arise from those who have been taught
to restarin their tempers, to control their ac-
tions, to meet their problems in a restrained
and quiet manner
We may hewail violence We may con-
denim the over-zeaousness of those who rioted
But whether we like it or not--when we per-
init, encourage, or even look aside when
violence occurs, we are putting ourselves on
the plane of those whom we despise for their
reliance on brute force
But what would YOU do when meetings
are planned by those who would sabotage our
way of life? Do you condone the Communist
aEltauon ana dgltatorSY
To the latter-a most decided mo" | was
fighting Communism and Communists long be-
fore it was fashionable to do so. But as an
American, | strenuously object to fighting
them with their own tactics to giving them
ammunition and to pandering to ther love of
publicity
If an anti-American meeting is planned for
your town, you as a voter can protest it in
the proper quarters. And If you are on to
your job, and can get those dilatory friends
of yours to leave their bridge games and their
televison sets long enough to Join with you
there won't be any meeting
Another thng-you admit that the Com
munists are a minority Then why not hold
a bigger meeting at the same time. Give the
good people of the community a chance to
show where they stand rather than leave the
job TO local hoodlums who will act as anti
American as the Communists If you can't offer
better attractions than the Communists, then
there Is something wrong with your-my-
our side Paul Robeson yes, I'm breaking
my rule, and naming names-isn't the only
good singer in this country. can think of
lot OF good Americans with better voices
singers of his race as we'll as from all the
varied nationalities that so to. make up
America
A great man once said The greatest re-
venge we can have on our enemy is not to be
like him Let us not stoop to the mob viol-
ence of the Communists Let us put into
practice the ethics in which we believe. Let
us prove the worth of our faith in democracy
by our own actions!

Truman Put Finger On II

President Truman was more particular
In his choice of words than we're going to
be, but he certainly hit the bulls-eye in
the middle when he said in his Labor Day
speech that a widespread effort is being
made to discredit Fair Deal legislation by
heaving nasty names at his proposals.
The nsme-calling technique, of course,
is old stuff~and for years it has been prsc-
ticed with effect by Commies and rightist
demagogues.
But there has seldom if ever been
more concerted smear campaign against
liberal measures than the current one
operated by the anti-"welfare state" boys.
Unless we badly miss our guess, the
welfare state" is going to be the prime
issue of the 1850 elections-if the con-
servatives and reactionaries can make it
so.
Here's the technique:
You repeat the words welfare state"
over and over and over again in much the
same manner as you would If you had
your mouth full of quinine
Then, after convincing your listneres
that there's something horribly wrong
with the expression you begin hurling it
at every liberal proposal which comes
up.
If you do this often and convincingly,
so the advocates believe you can start the
country back on the road toward Hoover
ism or something akin to it.
BY doing it this way you can avoid
discussing the issues on their merits

Price Of Striking Is To Great
BY BRADFORD V. CARTER
LPA Columnist


GTRIKES soon in two major mass industries
~ auto ana steel-are distinct possibility.
Hundreds of thousands of men and women,
all of them with little no financial resources,
will be involved. The going will be grim unless
the strikes are brief And the workers, and
their leaders, know all that,
Why then do workers, men and women
strike?
Not because labor dictators drunk with
power" order them to; not because one labor
leader feels his position is insecure unless he
gets for his people what another labor leader
has obtained
They strike of course, for better pay, and
for better working conditions But they strike,
also, for a peeder, for more fundamental, far
more instructive reason.
They strike because the strength of their
union-WhiCh is their bulWark, and their self
respect and their only projections threat
ened. The youngsters feel that instinctively;
the older union members know that through
bitter experience. They know what it was like
oWork in plant before there was a union
And what they want is contract, which is
statement of rights rather than privileges,
which depend on the whims of management,
and which can be taken away at will They
want certain rights, as rights, not as indul-
gences or favors
They want pensions, adequate pensions,
and not just present inadequate social security
benefits. They feel that they have earned them,
after spending a lifetime as producers and
they feel that such pensions are an obligation

An, Those Golden Eggs!

SUBSTITUTING printers ink for ordi-
~ nary tears, wealthy Republic Steel
is now crying publicly about its poverty
Here's Republics story, as told in
newspaper advertisement entitled Now
let's kill the goose.
The big corporation has been having
terrible, terrible trouble making ends
meet. Affairs are really in a sad, sad state.
Republics reserve for depreciation" is
about S195 millions short.
And, besides - horror of horrors! -
Philip Murray and the Steelworkers are
standing by with big axe, just waiting
for chance to chop the head off the goose
that lays the golden eggs.
The axe is labeled fourth round
wage increases"
And the golden eggs are portrayed as
high wages, jobs, good living good work
ing conditions cars and safety
The advertisement, naturally, didn't
mention the swollen postwar profits of
h6DuDllC anu Jllt ICSJ VI bliC SISSl 4tANNS
try II didn't call attention to the fact that
Republics profits the first half of this
year were about 500 higher than in the
corresponding period of last year
And at this point we'd like to point
out that the goose is very fat and
healthy one and that it hasn't been very
fair in its distribution of golden eggs.
The idea that the Steelworkers Union
has any intention of killing the Republic
goose" is pure nonsense! And the steel
industry knows it.
The tears made of printers ink are
about as convincing as some of the stuff
the industry handed out at hearings be-
fore the Presidential fact-finding board
Ham actors in Class c pictures do
more convincing job with the aid of
glycerin!

Yes, if worker makes $50 a week, and
he's on strike 10 weeks, he has lost $500 in
pay And he can't make up that loss for some
time, even when the strike is won, and he has
gone back to work at higher pay. So say the
cynics, he's out $500.
So. he is. But he's in as regards assurance
that his pay and working conditions are set by
a contract, and protected by a contract; that he
has rights, rights won by himself and his fell

rights by acting jointly by sticking together.

THE steel trade remains
unloved. Themanner in which

pute may provide a par
tial explanation
Unfortunately, to date, few
steel men have seen fit to use
rational arguments in present

The public has been
treated in the headlines to the
spectacle of one steel COM
pany president after another
getting up to impugn the
motivations of the members of
the board and complain about
the proceedings in a manner
that must have caused howls
of Joy at CIO headquarters.
For the managers to
have tantrums in public like
a group of malajusted chill
