As Deudline Approaches

You're probably going to get only little bit of rent
troll in the next Here's what Congress expected to
do about it:
bill which continues Federal controls through Dec. 81
1850 stand good chance of enactment The controls could
be left until June 3d. 1851 only if the voters in the cities
where there still is rent control approved the extension
The House Banking and Currency Committee okayed
such measure. Chairman Brent Spence 3D.. Ky.) says
Congressional sentiment indicates this the best
get" The House may act the bill this week.
The Senate Banking and Currency Committee has held
hearings control but has not acted the question
The rent law expires June &c.
Shortcomings of the House bill are obvious In many
cities it's difficult to get special elecon-such would be
needed to continue controls through June 80 1851 Aso it's
easy for the real estate lobby to confuse people in such cleo
tions. Finally few people vote in special elections.

lobby pressure.

Event

When the editor and publisher of a newspaper his
editorial columns in behalf of trade unions and higher
it is event well worth noting
That is exactly what j. c. Coughn, editor and publish
of the News in West Memphis Ark, recently did.
"We not well versed in the tenets of unionism he
wrote "but do know that unions help get wages up for
all working people-organzed and unorganized.
"Who wants business in town full of people who
don't have money to spend? That's the only thing wrong
with business in this locality right pur
chasing power When wages up business is bound to
benefit
"Thnk that over, some of you businessmen who make
living selling merchandise to customers who are trying
to raise families on less than $50 a week."

Pension Demands Not New

The very big business leaders who are today shouting
the oudes about welfare state themselves eligible
to receive retrements and pensions from the corporations
which employ them There's nothing wrong with that it is
all to the good 1t is progress and But it
simply points the way to pensions and other benefits for
those who toll for there corporations And why not?
Finally, American Labor is well of the fact that
all of these things cost money Most pension and welfare
plans in lieu of wages the money to finance them coming
right out of the workers pockets In the Unions
themselves have such plans financed by substantially high
dues structures.
What so many of those who in positions of influence
either fail refuse to recognize is the fact that American
Labor knows and discusses the cost factors in all pension and
welfare plans and fully cognzant of the position of indus
try Nothing is Free but the air breathe We must pay
for all benefits and benefits which may bankrupt
small section of industry too dangerous to consider
Knowing the facts produces light and it is light

TWIN cITIANS CAN HELP
MAKE COUPLES GOLDEN
ANNIVERSARY REALLY GOLDEN

To most couples fortunate
enough to celebrate their Golden
wedding anniversary, life and the
event is truly golden. They have
the love and smiles of their chill
dren, the pat Of the feet Of small
grandchildren around them, the
good wishes and gifts Of their
many friends and the blessing OF
a comfortable home.
But that is not true for the
couple Of 1915 Cumberland st.,
st. Paul, who win soon observe
their 50th wedding anniversary.
They have only themselves. They
do not have their health, nor chill
dren, nor grandchildren, nor
many friends. They do not have q
comfortable home.
The couple, Mr.. and Mrs. Nor
gan Atwood, both over 20, live in
a two room shack, in which cleo
trio lights are the only signs Of
modern convenience.
The couple who viii observe
their anniversary, August IS,
have lived in st. Paul for the past
40 years, coming here from Can
ton, Miss. Neither of them are
able TO work, and they have been
unable to obtain either relief
or old age pensions. Mr.. Atwood
believes that If he applies for as
sistance he will lose his home.
Persons in the community are
asked TO do what they can for
these two people to make their
Golden wedding anniversary
happy. Anything in the line of
money, supplies, groceries and the
like will be greatly appreciated.
If 1t is announcement to get to
1915 Cumberland, Miss Coree
Thomas will be glad to pick up
the money or supplies from con-
tributors and take them TO the
aged couple. She lives at 405 Far
rington. and her telephone num-
Der is EIlxhurst T541.
