member that war is no longer a war between
the armed forces of nations. This is the age of
"total war" And this term applies equally to
West and East alike. The last war against Ger
many and Japan was total war" in every
sense of the word Surely no one disputes this.
Especially If one looks at the universal ruin
of German cities Nor did the German bomb
ers worry about the slaughter of innocent
women and children in their "saturation
bombing" of Coventry, London, Rotterdam,
Warsaw and the countless Russian towns and
villages they destroyed.
Nor did we permit our conscience to bother
us when our airmen dropped their lethal wea-
pom on Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
Those were the rules of total destruction" !"
And we had to live by them or forfeit victory.
Yes, the days when generals died in bed"
are thing of the so-called romantic past To-
day and in the future generals and privates,
women and children will all be equally sub
ject to quick and merciless annihilaton The
hell-bombs are now manufacturing will
not discriminate against anyone.
And the battle field will not be restricted
to so-called combat areas" or "no-man's
lands" The whole world will be one gigantic
and bloody battlefield.
DERHAPS this Is the reason why so many
people, even among the leaders of our
government, are worried about peace That
is why people like Senator Byrd and Senator
Mcmahon are pushing their plans to somehow
bring peace between the United States and
Soviet Russia. AS Sen. Byrd put it just the
other day, he has received thousands of letters
from all over the world and from all types of
people urging him on to fight for peace.
Perhaps these are the reasons why, at least
in partial sense, Mr.. Herman w Steinkraus,
president of the u S. Chamber of Commerce,
suggested only a couple of days ago that the
United States enter into direct negotiations
with the leaders of Soviet Russia to try to
bring peace to this war-weary world
"As matter of fact" Mr. Steinkraus said,
President Truman might do well to step into
the talks personally. Perhaps he could make
Russia realize that the two countries can live
together without conflict if we try"
AND 1T makes mighty little difference how
"A some of us might hate the Russians and
despise their way of living . their economic
and political system. Unless we are ready to
declare war on them and start bombing now,
something that no sane person would advocate
since such an act on our part would inevitably
condemn us in the eyes of the whole world
we must find way to live in peace with
them This, believe, Is possible since funda-
mentally the Russian people seek and desire
peace just as much as we do.
This is, indeed tough problem, but if we
spend as much energy on trying to find peace
as we are on trying to get ready for the next
war, then l believe we shall earn the leader
ship of all mankind. Assured of such moral
leadership in the world, America could then
lead the world to peace and security in spite
of all obstacles
What glorious goal to fight for!

Ayes, but the total num-

In Washington certain responsible officials

people point out to us, vacancies In the u. 5.
Senate can be filled by the various state gov
ernors but there are no way of filling vacan-
cies in the House except by means of special
elections. And, as it is further pointed out, in
case of war 1t might become very difficult, If
not impossible, to hold special elections
CERTAINLY these thoughts are anything but

of the nations top scientists tell us about what

us with atomic and hydrogen bombs. 'The

the coal operators counted heavily on the
injunction procedure of the Taft-Hartley
Act to assure them victory in this fight.
However, they failed to reckon with
the unyielding determination of the coal
miners to fight back.
The coal diggers know that injunction
orders would not dig coal. Only the min
ers can dig coal. And if the miners refuse
to descend into the deep pits, there is no
other way of getting the coal out of the
earth
That Is exactly what the miners did,
"Let EN- dig coal with their injunction"
was their universal reply. Consequently,
there was no coal. And slowly the econo-
mic life of the nation was being threat
ened with strangulation. No nation such
as ours can possibly live without coal.
\ X
It was at this state that President Tru-
man stepped into the picture and request
ed the Congress to authorize government
seizure of the mines. This the operators
didn't like. Especially w h e n President
Truman made it clear that the mine oper-
ators would be assured fair return on
the ir investment. By implication, at
least this meant that not all the profits OF
these coal mines would be turned over to
the operators.
President Truman said somethingIelse.
"The miners shall receive fair return
for their work." was also included in his
request.
That is, in our opinion, what broke
the back of the coal operators. For the
coal operators did not ant President
Truman to tell them what constitutes
"fair return" on their investment. If such
a decision were to be made, it might re-
suit in setting ceiling on all future prof
its for the coal barons. And, from the
point of view of the coal operators, that
would be very bad
After all, they don't want anyone -
including the President of the United
States - to tell them what constitutes
"fair return" on their operations.
BY the same token the coal operators
didn't want the Federal Government to
set a price on what constitutes a fair
return" to the coal diggers. That, too,
from their point of view could prove to
be very dangerous
Hence, the quick settlement.
Above all, however, the arrogant coal
operators settled because they could not
break the backs of the miners.
Truly, it was a magnificent struggle
-. an epic fight
A grand lesson for all the workers in
the country in their struggles against en-
ployers everywhere.

Labor Wins In EnqIund

EIGHTING against tremendous odds,
IL the Labor Party in England pulled
through to victory In the British elections
held last week. True enough, the margin
of victory is slender and the Tories-both
in England and right here in the United
States-are serving notice on the Labor
Government that they will do everything
in their power to hamstring and obstruct
its activities to the best of their ability.
Of course, there is nothing new in the
attitude of the Rt. Hon. Winston Church
i'll and his cohorts towards the Labor Gov
ernment The Tory clique have been Bit
terly opposed to every Labor measure
since 1945, when the present Labor Gov
ernment first came into power. 1t is to be
expected that these vicious attacks shall
not only continue, but will increase in
power in the future Particularly since
the Labor Government barely holds ma
jority in the House of Commons. Church
i'll and his tory gang will be in there slug
ging and working to upset the Labor Gov
ernment on the very first opportunity.
The tories know that the first time they
are able to defeat the Labor Government
on any major ISSUE that government will
have to resign and thus bring about an
other national election.
That is the aim of Churchill now They
feel that if another election should be or
dered their chances for victory would inn
prove.
But that is precisely what the British
Labor Government will have to try to
avoid. Prime Minister Atlee and his col
leagues must make sure that their Labor
MP's are always on hand whenever a test
vote might be in order. Yes, it will be a
continual fight not only for the survival
of the Labor Government, but more So
the fight will be for the further develop
ing of Labor's program with its drive
toward the socialization of the heavy in
duStries :. the extension and improve
ment of the various social security meas
ures :. the improvement of unemploy-
ment compensation and all the other
measures that the Labor Government has
introduced during the past five years.
For us here in the United States the
election victory of British Labor should
mean only one thing: by following the
example of our brothers across the sea :. j.
by doing the same kind of hard, persever-
ing work in election campaigns that our
British cousins did, we, too can face our
forthcoming congressional elections with
confidence and the knowledge that when
the ballots of our people shall be counted
next November, Senators like our own
Hon Robert A. Taft will find themselves
jobless insofar as the u. S. Congress is
concerned.

Support The PIoskon Strike

ELSEWHERE in this issue of the Union
~ Journal is can Open Letter to Mr..
John Biggers" from Mr.. Felix Szymanski,
Chairman of the Plaskon Unit of Local II
which is in the midst of bitter strike
against the mighty glass concern.
Mr.. Biggers is president of L-O-F
which owns Plaskon.
Every strike is bitter struggle, with
some more so than others. In the case of
the Plaskon workers, it is getting down to
ga war of attrition." L-O-F is apparently
determined to starve these workers into
object submission.
The stark irony of this fight, how
ever, is the fact that L-O-F is waging this
war against its workers at time when
the corporation is reporting record-smaSh-
ing profits The situation Is made even
more bitter when we realize that the
Plaskon workers primarily are fighting to
retain gains that they were able to make
two years ago. The mighty L-O-F wants
to abolish overtime premium pay for Sat
urday and Sunday work as such; they
want to abolish the measly five cents per
hour shift premium for the second and
third shifts and, further L-O-F wants to
re introduce the hated Swing shift" on
a weekly basis.
A so-called pension plan, now being
IL IF
ers by L-O-F is far from what the strikers
want and it is nothing but bait to get
the workers to accept the company terms.
Needless to say, if L-O-F should sue
ceed in smashing this strike, other em
ployers will undoubtedly embark on SINH
lar ventures. In that case, Organized La
Dor In Toledo will be forced all along the
line to fight for gains and benefits that
they have won for themselves - In some
instances at least - before Hitler plunged
the world into World War II.
Obviously, we cannot permit this to
happen. Too much is at stake for all OF
us. Therefore, 1t is up to ALL OF Or
CANNED LABOR IN TOLEDO TO
RALLY BEHIND THE ASKON
WORKERS AND HELP THEM WIN
THEIR JUST FIGHT.
At the moment we can best do that by
giving them financial help. And plenty of
it. Because if we don't, we shall most as
suredly have to go through the same Bit
ter struggle In the rest of our organized
plants in our city.
In short, Brother, this is YOUR
FIGHT. And you'd better start pitching.
