How are your public relations these days7
WE ARE urged to have regular check-ups as
w to health We are advised to see our
dentist regularly Indeed almost every time
we turn on the radio we are urged to schedule
ourselves on something-even to compacts
But the most important of all things they
seem to neglect, I'm all for adding to the list
and advising a regular check-up on public re-
lations
What is public relations? II is not publicity
that is simply the cellophane on the basket
Of fruit that when nicely colored-keeps you
from seeing the specks.
Public relations Is how you individually
impress your neighbors That resolves itself
into the one basic issue-what you are, And
there is no single thing that is as important to
the future of America than good public rela-
tions for good, strong, healthy, labor move
ment
Oh yes, at meetings you vote through reso-
lutions on public relations, particularzing
lot of extra things your union officers can do
for you But do YOU do your share of the job?
You can have the best officers in the
world They can impress everyone to whom
they talk with their high caliber and their in
tegrity, But it won't do bit of good-unless
you do your share of the iob-unless in your
community you stand out as a good example
of the kind of union In which you believe.
Your union card isn't just a slip emitting
you TO higher wages and better working con-
ditions-like prize in box of cracker jack.
II is passport showing that you belong to "a
group that by years of hard work has proven
that its union citizens are worth recognition,
that they are responsible that they take their
obligation seriously and because of their high
character are welcome In any company
We all talk about public opinion--and how
TO influence IT, But public opinion is deter
mined by public relations And public rela-
tions depends upon you as an individual,
So check up on yourself How is your
work? Has II shown progress? Are you doing
the best you can at your job? II you were the
boss, would you want to deal with union
made up of men who do just what you do7
What do you do for your union? Do you attend
meetings-and are you on time, and ready to
do whatever little task you can to help? Are
you willing to give the time to serve actively
on committees? What do you do for your COM
munity? Do you join in wherever you can and
prove to your non-union neighbors that un-
ion man is asset because he knows how to
cooperate?
How is your PR rating? Suppose you make

Move Over, Wesfbrook!

For years it's been possible for a
speaker to get a good round of applause at
labor meeting merely by saying some
thing nasty about Westbrook Pegler who
acts as if vinegar had been substituted for
the milk of human kindness.
While Westbrook was going his un-
merry way new star was slowly rising
on the horizon of reaction Now he is
really up there, floating around in the
NAM armament.
He's fellow known as Fulton Lewis,
Jr,, and he's rapidly replacing Pegler as
the pet peeve' of the common man,
whom both profess to love dearly.
Although his unfair tactics irk us,
Lewis often serves US well. But the simple
process of listening to him we can tell
what Big Business is thinking.
However, we wish he'd quit pretend
ing to be unbiased.

CONSUMER DOPE

the Coop organizing drive.
People are buying Coop mer-
chandise. which isn't highly
advertised. and finding that
it's generally at the top of the
list for price and quality.
The cooperative at Dillon
vale, Ohio did a business of
more than one million dollars
last year. There the entire
community is Coop, even to
the cafe they operate for them
selves.
How does the Coop save
you money as a consumer?
Here are a few of the ways:
Canned foods trucked from
Coop canneries to you, thru
your local Coop, provide di-
rect mass distribution, saving
up to 20To on some items. This
means elimination of costs of
warehousing extra transporta-
ton, brokers fees and unpack-
ing and shelving. Unnecessary
expenses, fees, and commits
sions are cut to a minimum,
the savings being given direct
ly to the consumer.
If you're looking for a good
cupboard motor at a nice facto-
ry-to-you-discount, the Toledo
Coop has an arrangement
with the makers of the Nep-
tune which will save you
pile of dough. up to 40To

horsepower at $49.50 to the

The Cooperative Challenge

Il deed that their city has been selected
, as link in the chain of the 100-mile dem
onstration area of the Coop expansion
program. The Council for Cooperative De-
velopment recognized the potentialitieS of
cities having a large concentration of In
dustrial workers, and recognized, too, the
liberal and democratic element in trade
union leadership as eXemplified by the
United Automobile Workers, CIO. To
gether with such highly automotive areas
as Detroit, Pontiac Flint, and other Mich
iean cities, Toledo was chosen as testing
ground for the supermarket shopping CEN
ter project.
Although the true cooperative is open
to ALL and the Toledo Coop is true CO.
operative functioning under the Rochdale
principles of consumer cooperation, it is
no secret that Labor's support is regarded
as highly important to the local co-op's
success
Bertram Fowler, in his splendid book,
The Cooperative Challenge, has this to
say:
What is required now is not diagno-
sis of what has caused the dizzy upward
spiral of prices, but an idea as to where
1t will lead. The answer is obvious. Such
an initiation presages a depression.
Ignoring the maze of argument and
opinion let us try to ascertain Just what
Labor has been asking for. Again the an
swer is obvious. Labor is striking for bet
ter housing. for better diet, better cloth
ing; in short labor is striking for higher
standard of living through greater buying
power, and these things are not necessarily
contained in a fatter pay envelope.
"You see, it is all extremely simple:
They have been striving for cooperatives
and cooperatives will detour the depres-
sion, salvage the free enterprise system,
and keep the peace"
This was written in 1947. Today 1t is
even more true, because wages have in
creased only on paper. Purchasing power
of the dollar is lower. Layoffs and cut
backs have affected thousands of our peo-
Pile There is pinch, and the uncertainty
OF the future is not easy to face.
Money is worth only what it will buy
Buying power is down. This means less
purchasing, which in turn means less pro-
duction, which in turn means less employ
ment, which in turn means still less buy
ing power, purchasing, and production.
The spiral, once started on the downward
trend is difficult to arrest.
Co-Ops are the answer. Co-Ops give
honest values, because there Is no motive
to cheat anyone. The customers are the
owners of the business. Co-Ops maintain
purchasing power through lower prices
and high-grade quality They exist to
serve, not to make profit. The profits"
are returned TO the members of the COOP
erative, who are its customers and owners,
thus maintaining purchasing power,
steady production, steady employment and
real security.
The Co Op Fair, currently at Local II,
demonstrates most emphatically what the
cooperative movement can do Immediately
for the consumers of Toledo. But there
is much more to it than meets the eye.
Saving couple of dollars in weekend
shopping is something; but working
toward the prevention of future depres-
sions and international wars is the Co-Op's
final end

Remember, special prices
here and there are not what
the consumer wants. The over

counts. Come to the Coop
Fair, which closes Saturday at
6 PM, and learn the whole
Coop story.

White House Intcrvened

Furthermore, it developed that the old and decrepid young Dems had not paid their dues They had borrowed $1,250 from Ed Pauley and Jimmy Roosevelt in 1947 to pay their dues, but something happened to their money-perhaps too much entertainment at conventions. h. stead, a promisory note was depos- tied at headquarters for $1,560 in leiu of dues. This promisSory note was never paid
 Under the young Dems' constitu- tion, the state organization which pays for it's dues is supported by the state committeeman and gets official recognition. But in the case of California, the White House mysteriously interyened.
 Perhaps, however, it wasn't so mysterious. For Matt Connolly, &c., cretary to the President, got a phone call from George Luckey California cattleman friend of Mi Truman's, asking that the new young Dems not be recognized.
 This was on July 8, and the ap- rlication of the new group has cooled on ice until this week.
 Roy Baker, National Chairman of the young Dems, has ordered recognition of the new California group. Bill Boyle, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee had promised recognition on Sept IA. The Los Angeles County Centra Committee voted 189 to l for re. cognition. But, thanks to Whit House intervention, 100 old anC shopworn young Dems" eontinu

HEALTHY COWs-HEALTHY CHILDREN

When the Territorial Veterinarian says that Ju- neaus dairymen are to be complimented on their efforts to provide Juneau with high quality milk everyone in town can take pride in local dairy industry.
 The report of Dr. E. F. Graves means good milk for children and good milk makes healthy children and healthy community
 This should be reassuring to newcomers to town and there many-who may wonder if their children will fare as well in Alaska as in former home towns.
 Juneau's five daires-four of them operating as Juneau Dairies the fifth the North Star Dairy should shed modesty and be proud too of Dr. Graves report that 'he has never the stock in good physical condition they at the present time"
 Now we will appreciate all the more that big glass of milk. Children aren't the only imbibers of natures perfect food.

ed to represent the entire state of California until this week, whiie 4,000 new members remained out in the cold.
 Note-One trouble with the young Democrats in many states is that the party bosses don't want intel ligeut youngsters in the organiza- ton. If the youngsters are intelli- gent they are discouraged. For in telligent youngsters don't make good party hacks.
 Merry Go-Round
 With the coal and steel strikers returning to work, the labor out look is brighter than in months. In spite of this, however, B critical areas are still harassed by hard times, of which eight are worse off than during the depression They are Lawrence, Mass, Jasper, Ala, Bristol, Conn, Cumberland Md, New Bedford, Mass, Muskegon, Mich, Greensburg, Pa, and Potts vile, Pa. Elliott Roosevelt is planning to go to Moscow in April to interview Stalin again Tom my Manyille, the millionaire play boy is worried that his telephone wires are tapped; has offered $5,- eco to anyone who can prove it. i. The American Medical Association has signed up the big insurance companies as an ally in it's million dollar propaganda drive against the Presidents health insurance pro gram. The British general staff has just sent highly important secret report to the American joint chiefs of staff stating that Lon don could stand up under bom- bardment from Russian A bombs. The London suhways, it is reported, are the deepest in the world and would escape atomic radiation. However, the subWays will be re- conditioned immediately. The real estate lobby is nibbling away at rent control in Los Angeles by pressuring suburban towns into de- controlling on their own. Governor Warren, however, vii, not approve decontrol.

in New York State is not Truman's fault. But definitely at Truman'S doorstep can be laid an even more fragrant case of vote denial-this one in California.
 In that state the young Demo- crats of California, Inc, has disin- tegrated into a group of about 100 jaded party hacks who, in effect, have sold the letterhead of their organization to any political fac- tion that would reward them with jobs. When David Price and Edwin T. Thayer of the California young Dems were given jobs by George McLain of the California old-age pension group, the young Dems promptly lent their letterhead to promote McLain's old age pension plan.
 As result, rival group of young Dems-'T'he California young Democratic Clubs" has mushroomed ID to 4.oc0 members, in contrast to fewer than 100 members for the old regulars. And on July 8, the new group officially applied for reeogni- ton by Washington. Their appli- cation was signed by Mrs. Edward Heller, Democratic National Com mittee-woman; James Roosevelt, National Committeeman; and Ol- iver Carter. California Chairman of the Democratic State Committee.

hood is declared population will rush in and there will be a magical development of resources.
 Some even go far to aver including the Governor that Alaska will not be properly defended until it gets statehood with representatives in Congress with vote.
 Horsefeathers!
 No one can deny the right of any American com muny including Alaska to have self governing state hood whenever it wants it.
 But it isn't any magic formula which will cause sudden changes.
 A dozen elected representatives with vote would do little hasten defensive offensive Qualifications. It is national issue, not local
 The best reason think of for hurryng along statehood get it before the Interior De- partment gobbes up the entire Territory. Inroads made by the Federal bureaus already leave us mostly shell on which to pay heavy taxes for the right of administration.
 And the most peculiar fact of all is that the Delegate and the Governor who praying the loud- est for statehood won't even little finger to give us the right to elect governor meantime
 Moreover we might add, the work of the last Legislature in passing such mess of conflicting tax laws for rewarding the machine favortes and putting the Territorial Treasury in the hole, is hardly good object lesson that are ready for statehooo
