Fortune Magazine
Takes A Look AT
The Labor Press

New York (LPA) - The Apri
issue of Fortune magazine ($1.2s
organ of business) takes a look al
the labor press and seven leading
labor editors. It's summary:
"The labor press would like tt
be the gadfly of US press morals
But while calling for free press
it is itself not wholly free. Many
union papers are devoted largely
to glorifying the officers in power
and only in few cases is an op-
position granted space to voice
criticisms. News through the labor
lens is usually black or white, and
the actions of the opposition are
often viewed as part of some dark
conspiracy. Criticism as regards
the US press is surely a two-way
street."
Declaring that the most import
ant factors in the labor press are
the labor news agencies, the For
tune article lists Federated Press,
(which follows the Communist
line" and the Labor Press Asso-
citation, (which was organized in
opposition to it in September, 1949,
by a group of leading union
papers,"
After listing the services LPA
provides, the article goes on: "LPA
is weighted with accounts of mono
poles, high profits, business dere-
Lotions, ETC slams at advertising
misrepresentation, and the like
Monopoly Investigations get a
heavy play, as do campaigns for
health insurance, FEPC, and other
items of the Fair Deal program.
Arguing that such stories are con-
sistently underplayed by the daily
press, LPA has begun a needing
campaign against it. One such job
precipitated a slam-bang fight be-
tween the Denver Post and the
Colorado Labor Advocate"
The article also mentions "clean
beat" by the LPA's late Nathan
Robertson "when Robertson reveal
ed that the Minnesota Medical As
sociation had relaxed ban against
advertising by doctors in the ap-
parent hope of persuading small
country weeklies to support the
ANA position against health insur-
ance."
Of the, seven labor editors whose
photographs Fortune runs, five are
officers or board members of Labor
Press Association. They are: Ruben
Levin, president of LPA; Allan l..
Swim, vice-president; Gordon Cole,
member of the executive board;
Max Danish and Vincent Sweeney,
directors. The others pictured arel
Philip Pearl, AFL publicity chief,
and Frank Winn, publicity head for
the United Auto Workers.
Levin is described as probably
the most widely-syndicated colum-
mist in the labor press field" and
"more important, he is president
of Labor Press Association, the
largest news agency in the labor
field" Swim edits the CIO News,
and is CIO publicity chief. Cole
edits the Machinist for the lam.
Danish, dean of labor press editors,
edits Justice and the other ILGWUI
publications. Sweeney directs pub
licity and Steel Labor for the CIOI

II like the teaching system
here in the United States. A pri-

her college work and eventually
teach in any high school. But in
Germany, if we study for pri-
mary work, we will always be
a primary instructor. If we want
to teach in the high school, we
must start all over again.
II am amazed at the study of

here which you do not find in
Germany"
Although Miss Hornhlenert
thoroughly enjoys the food in

Il still like Sauerkraut".
