We Hope Congress Won't Let 1t
Happen Aguin This Time

Now that the nation is again in war emergency, Big
Business again demanding that the antust laws oo
meeting of 80 of the countrys biggest industrial ana
financial ''tycoons."
The meeting was held behind closed doors at the swank
Sea Island winter in Georgia. and the demand was
presented to Secretary of Commerce Charles Sawyer ana
other high government officials who attended the CONFER
ence."
The industriaists and fnanciers members Of the
Commerce Departments Council Of Business Advisers an
organization of private businessmen Sawyer VINO IS very
conservative gentleman did his best to clamp the lid OF
secrecy but Of what went on behind the coSeo
doors leaked out
In addition to insisting that profits tax be
levied corporations the ycoons demanded that there be
no enforcement the antitrust laws during the present
war and defense emergency Big Businessmen they sald
should not be bothered by charges OF and mono
poly while they producing for war and defense
Exactly the argument was made by spokesmen for
big corporaons when the Second World War along,
and high army and navy officers joined in the demand for
suspending" the antitrust laws So the two enforcement
agences-Jusce Department and Federal Trade Commss
on-were told to "ay off," and the laws against monopoly
and price-fxing dead letter until after the war
The thing happened in the great depression OF the
1905 the other emergency which this country laced our
ing the past 20 years.
Big Business said could not fight the depression if
also had to fight prosecutions under the antitrust laws. SO
the Justice Department and f. T. C. told to LAY off,
They did So until shortly before the Second World War be-
gan, and then they were told to "lay Off again
Now Big Business is for the third time demanding
free hand which means freedom from monopoly and price
fixing:

briefly and neffecvely revived between emergencies
and then become dead letter again?
Are the antitrust laws needed most during

war depression or defense? That's when monopoly and
prcefxing American taxpayers most by boosting the
cost of everything the government buys.
Isn't it ridiculous for Uncle Sam to pour out the peoples

Christmus Is Coming!

With these words almost magical in effect panorama
of brightness and color springs to mind and to travel
to- and make its home every mans heart The traditional
red of the Santa Claus suits topped woy white whskers
the shining toys reflected in the wdeeyed stares of children
with pressed against misted ship windows the
green of holly wreaths sprned with red berries the pine
trees smelling crisp and clean the snappy winter air. the
muticoored lights which spell out in wordless messages
that it Christmas more-a blend together with har
mony and depth produce provoking portrait of the glory
of living.
1t is of than superficial color, however;
the warmth of the typfed by gay wrapped pack
ages matched only by the good fellowship and neghbor
illness which seeps into the hardest of hearts Ye into
the middle of the freshness falls the blunt black and white
newspaper headlines heradng still another color
Suddenly find ourselves rudey awakened to another
land where brotherhood not the keynote of
and where the spirit of Christmas is but bourgeois phrase
The bright red which all about takes
meaning and the realization of it's implications strikes
into momentary sobrety red is also the color of blood
blended into the flags of nations for which has been
she'd
Then the pale blue of yet another flag-that of the
UNenters the Christmas picture the spirit of frater
nifty rises to overhadow the red of the renegade In this
hue find the symbol of the faith and hope of the
season. well the strength which through uniting
forces for end have workers the world
long work together whether for country fam
lily, the Christmas message will always be peace earth

Whose Boycott?

newly-eected Republican member of Congress has
appealed to labor to end its boycott of the Republican
Party but think he's got his facts confused We're the
the COP left behind too many times.
The Brotherhood and most other unions maintained
partisan position during the most satisfactory
years of the Democratic New Deal when labor making
great social and economic strides.
No candidate supported we hope will be sup
ported merely because he happens to be Democrat Re-
publican anything else
If preponderance of Democrats have had labors back
ing in recent years. it's because individual Democrats have
written records which them support And those
Republicans whose performance recommended labors in
dorsement, got it. Sen Wayne Morse of Oregon, Sen
Charles Tobey of New Hampshire and number of others of
the House. including BRerS Gardner WthroW of Wisconsin,
for example. We wish there more.
AS it has been we've felt "boycotted" deserted by
the Republicans They have been the party Big Business
and the party that has officially opposed issues labor
has backed Those few GOPers who voted way did
in spite of party wishes.
Minimum wage legislation, social security, railroad
trement and host of other advances law because Demo-
cratic Congresses listened to the needs of the people and
took action The Republican Party did originate these
things and very few Republicans out for them,
why shouldn't the average worker feel that the COP had
left him behind?
If the Republicans in Congress would end their boycott
OF progressive issues and listen to the desperate needs of
the people, they would have aboIs embrace It's the record
that counts. And they'll have another opportunity in the
82nd Congress-

Preachers Worry Big Business Man

Robert Wilson, board chairman Of the Standard Oil
Company of Indiana is shocked and worried He finds that
$50 per cent of the nations cegymen have recently preach
ed critical of business and that N per cent of them
say Industries making too much profit
But Mr.. Wilson has a remedy for this situation He
says:
eve might well face the fact that whether business
like it not the church is going to continue to take
positions questions which have economic aspects Church
leaders naturally ideaistc
Eve cannot prevent some ministers and other church
leaders from making unsound statements economic sub
jects but do much than have to that
they are better informed business matters"
So Mr. Wilson urges practcal-mnded men of business
to to church often and point out the facts to the
'idealstic' preachers.
Writing a check and sending it to chuch is not
enough to do the job the Standard Oil chief other
businessmen.
No comment seems necessary.

Two Billion Dollars

The fight by big businessmen against excess profits
tax best be understood in terms of dollars and cents.
If Congress comes through its prediction promise
to tax the huge profits made by American business this year
result of the Korean the Treasury department will
be able to collect another two billion dollars finance
fight against communism.
But if Congress postpones action excess profits
tax until next year. big business wants to do that
billion dollars will go into the pockets of the big business
President TrumanS Council of Economic Advisers eSti-
mates that the Korean has at least two billion
dollars more in profits for American businessmen.
That's why the Business Committee on Emergency
Corporate Taxation organized by big business to fight an
excess profits tax is spending $250O0 to try defeat the
tax. When two billion dollars is at stake $25000 pea

A Good Ideu

For the past year Sen Guy Gillette o. Iowa) has been
chairman of Senate Agriculture subcommittee that has
Investigated the high cost of coffee meat milk and bread
Glette's subcommittee revealed phony reports of
coffee shortage, deliberately planted by South American
coffee which resulted in big price increases Gil
ette also showed how meat packers big dares and large
bakers roll in the money.
The authority of Gilettes subcommittee expires at the
end of the year SO Gillette going to try get the next
Congress to set up special Senate Watchdog Committee
to guard against unfair charges the nations food bud
get"
We think that's good idea. The American people
shouldn't have to be gouged by coffee growers monopostc
dares the Big Four meat packers and the few bakers who
control the bread business

Good Advice From A 'G-Mun'

After the First World War; the f. B. l. was charged
with some hghhanded violations of American liberties The
kind Of charges have sometimes been heard since then
An encouraging contrast in recent statement by Hugh H.
Clegg, chief assistant to top G-Nan j. Edgar Hoover.
Ihe private citizen can best assist in the fight against
Communism by working to make democracy stronger"
Cegg said n the final analysis the successes of Commun-
ism measured by the weaknesses of democracy. Pre-
Judlce bgotiy and intolerance have place in America.
Pointing out that President Truman designated the
f. B. l. the clearing house for information about espon-
age, sabotage and subversve activities Cegg urged nd
vdua citizens to report such information to the f. B. l. in
stead of making private Investigations. Then he said

opinions In democratic society," individual think

coercion"

T oke Ny Word for 1t

Rambling Among Words.

hAmuuu& A"OH& WOfuA
The Latin word urbs meant orr
ginally "a city inclosed by walls or
palisades" From urbs came uroanus,
of or pertaining to city: hence.
refined. polished, cultured"
Urbanus entered English as urban,
meaning pertaining to or eharac-
teristic Of a city" This Is the
source of the word urban. meaning
polished, suave, citified." pro-
nounced: ur-BAIN. The noun
urbanity. meaning 'politeness, suav-
ity,'' is pronounced: -BAN-i-tee
Now let US return to the word
urban. from our original stem urbs.
Combined with the prefix sub.
under, inferior, subordinate to-" We
find urban in the word suburban,
the suburbs (sub- plus urbs).
The prefix inter means be
tween" Therefore, an electric rail-
way system operating between two
or more cities is called an inter-
urban
Now let us use the sufix lite, "a
native of or dweller in" and form
two more words with urban: The
first is urbanite, "one who lives In a
city: the second is suburbanite,
''one who lives in the suburbs"
The name Texas is a respelling of
TEXAS, an Indian word thought to
mean friendly people" Other vari-
ants of the spelling are Teyas and
TechaS.
The adjective Texian was more
or less current when Texas was
admitted to the Union. 1t became
obsolete at about the time of the
Civil War Texian does not occur
in modern usuage, Texan being the
proper form.
1t is interesting to note that in
Texas the word Texan is a noun,
and is used only for a native or
inhabitant of the State. One never
speakes Of Texan cattle, Texan oil.
Texan people" etc. The correct
adjective is Texas, as. Texas cattle,
Texas oil, Texas people. etc
On the other hand, the term
Mexican deSignates a native Of
Mexico, and is also an adjective
meaning "of or pertaining to Mex
ico," as, Mexican cattle, Mexican oil,
Mexican people Thus it is correct
to speak of the Texas-Mexican
border and never of the Texan
Mexican border

Uncle Roy's Corner

Many ocean vessels carry extra
loads on the outside. below the
water line. That may seem a
strange thing to do, but it has been
going on for hundreds of years.
The loads are made up of pas
sengers who never pay any fare.
They are called barnacles, and
thousands of them ride on the bot
tom Of single vessel.
Barnacles are shellfsh, and their
average length is only about two
inches when they are full grown.
They have three stages of life.
The first stage starts when they
hatch from eggs. At this time a
barnacle is very small. 1t has six
tiny legs and single eye.
Young barnacles swim freely in
the sea during both their first and
second stages In the second stage
they have two eyes apiece, and also
have shells.
The shells in that stage have two
parts, being somewhat on the order
of a CLAIMS shell, but much smaller
The tWo-part shell is cast OIL
when the third stage is reached
Then a new shell forms, this one
with five parts which are fastened
together.
Reaching its adult stage, a bar
nacle settles down. 1t looks for
some hard object. such as a plank
or log or rock Often (too often)
it chooses the bottom of an ocean
liner or some other vessel.
A kind of glue, or cement, Is pro-
duced by barnacle when 1t
fastens itself. Its feelers and head
are held in place, and a hard case
forms around the body. A lid of a
sort will open from this case, or box,
and water can come in as long as
the lid is open.
From the water the barnacle
takes bits of seaweed and tiny ami
mails, While enjoying a free ride
on vessel, it obtains a fine supply
of food.
In it's adult stage the barnacle
loses its eyes. 1t starts life with one
eye. goes on with two, then be-
comes blind.
