AGAIN PAUL BLOCK, Jr. has made up his mind that he
"A won't play. Still suking like the spoiled brat that he is,
it is his own personal opinion that the Republican Party, so
he says, doesn't know what they are doing. Can you imagine
him saying that, after all of the voters who cared to vote in
the primary election have spoken by their secret ballot and
made their choice as to who the Republican Party candidate.
will be representing them in the Congress? They are the ones
who have chosen Judge Homer Ramey to represent them. This
not even the Toledo Blade, nor the Toledo Times, nor Paul
Block, Jr. can deny.
Now Paul Block, through his editorial page in the Toledo
Blade, says the Republican Party isn't capable of making a
choice. What l would like to know is who represents the Re-
publican Party - the voters after they have spoken in a pn-
mary election or Paul Block; Jr.? According to his recent
editorial, why have a primary at all? Why not just call Paul
Block, JE, the little spoiled brat, and ask him who should be
the candidate for the Congress?
Every time l attempt to read the Blade, I get sick to my
stomach because it is always attempting to accuse someone of
being a dictator. I will use Paul Block, Jrs. own editorial
words. "We, the people of Lucas County, are getting tired of
you trying to make us goosestep' to Rockville.
AS Paul Block, Jr. said at one time, "no raise in pay" but
we got it.
You, Paul Block, Jr, said, mo vacation with pay" but
we got it,
You, Paul Block, Jr, said, mo unemployment insurance."
but we got it. !.
You, Paul Block, J, said, mo paid holidays" but we
got it.
You said, mo Insurance." but we got it.
Now you say, "My candidate for Congress is Frazier
Reams" We say we don't want him.

WITHIN THIRTY DAYS, we are told,
w City Council will begin discussions
on renewing the City Payroll-Income Tax
Ordinance which expires in about four
months. This tax, according to latest Of
fetal figure, had brought into the city
treasury $24, 422, $50 in revenue up to
July 81 of this year.
We know that all Toledoans, particu-
larly the working people, are vitality con-
cerned with this tax. We know, too, that
a good many of our people are very much
opposed to the tax. Some of our people,
on the other hand, believe that the tax is
good and should be continued.
However, the question at the moment
is: How should this tax be renewed, if it
is to be continued? Should there be a
referendum vote on it by all the people?
Or, should it be re-enacted by action of
City Council without a referendum vote
of the people?
Other questions that come to the fore
In this connection are: Should there be
changes in the new payroll-income tax
law? Should there be exemptions incor-
porated in the new law such as are found
in the federal income tax laws? Should
the people be compelled to pay a tax
upon tax, as they do now under the pres
ent payroll-income tax ordinance? What
kind of exemptions, if any, should we
propose?
1t would be good to hear from our
members and officers on TIL e vital
questions.

Tom Burke And The Times

THERE is A sadly frustrated little old
L. man at The Times who long ago con-
WINGED himself that he is a great man -
a great editorial pundit; an oracle of
wisdom whose every word should be ac-
cepted by the common herd as the voice
that will lead us out of the wilderness
and onto the broad fields of the Promised
Land.
The truth is, however, that few - if
any - listen to the daily t~rumpeting of
this self opinionated little man.
Everyone knows that, despite his pro-
testations, he is but a puppet of powers
behind him. He sings when he is told to
sing. And he sings the songs that are
selected by his master. He knows no free
dom of action in his chosen field. He
serves in the literary stable of his master
as a pitiful enuch, scorned even by those
who work with him.

OF COURSE, Tn talking about people like
Taft, Bricker, Wherry, Ramey and their
ilk who are supposed to be servants OF the
people but who, in fact, are the loyal and de-
voted protectors of Big Business.
The best example in this sense is what
happened right after World War ii. During
the last war we had p controlled prices,
along with government controlled wages and
a pretty stiff excess profits tax. You will re-
member that under P a pound of the best
sirloin steak cost, l believe, sac.
AS soon as the war was over, Big Business
representative - both in and out OF Con-
gress-began yelling for the immediate scrap
ping of OPA and all other controls. They told
us that 'the law of supply and demand will
take care of prices" The daily press, the So
called public newspapers, magazines, radio,
etc, shouted these same falsehOOds day after
day.
Get rid of the black market by getting
rid of OPA," was their most telling slogan.
Give business a chance to expand en-
ployment by eliminating the excess profits
tax" was another slogan.
And to force their ideas across with brutal
and telling effect, the big meat packers went
on a sitdown strike and withheld their meat
from our markets claiming all the while that
the scarceness of meats was caused by black
marketeers and not them.
OF course, they denied vehemently that in
reality they were striking against the Amerl-
can people.

AND NOW WE find ourselves approaching
"A an election when the people who are pri-
marily responsible for these conditions are
once again asking the voters to put them back
into office. Taft is most certainly the leading
candidate in this field. Will the people vote
for Taft and Co.? Will the voters send them
back to Washington again to continue their
privateering activities against the American
people? To a large measure that depends upon
what we as union members do. If we are able
to reach our people and give them the real
dope on what the Tafts have been doing ever
since they were sent to Washington and what
they intend to do in the future, there is no
doubt but that they will be turned out of
office.
If not, they will be reelected to continue
their plumber of the American people.
But how can we best inform our people?
How can we get this vital information to
them?
As far as I'm concerned, the best method
Is through our own publications. In Toledo,
through the Union Journal. Certainly our
people will not get this kind of m
from the Blade or the Times. Nor from any
other so-called public press. For in reality
these papers are not public" They are owned
and operated by Big Business the same as
General Motors or any other large corporation
is operated. In any event, these public"
newspapers are the willing tools, acc0mplices
and servants of Big Business in the ~strictest
sense of the word.
So, the choice is up to us. We have the
means at our disposal. We have our own
weapon" against the monopoly press. If we
use this weapon" if we get it into the hands
of our own people, we shall win. And the
people of America will win. If not, we'll
In that case what are we bellyaching about?

had its effect. Pretty soon even people in our

With MoIiee Aforefhoughf

A PROMINENT Englishman once said
IA that
I'VE are not hypocrite in our sleep"
And, we suppose, this does apply to
normal human beings.
But it most certainly does not apply
to the utterly irresponsible mental pygmy
who draws his pay from Paul Block, Jr.,
as the editorial scribe of The Times.
This man must be a hypocrite even in
his dreams for his editorials can only be
the result of Nightmares.
Specifically we have in mind a piece
entitled "a Big Strike Profit that ap-
peared a few days ago. This unbiased"
editorial contends til the UAW-CIO
calls strikes in order to make a profit
from strike assessments. They point out
that during the recent 100 days long
Chrysler strike the UAW-CIO collected
81 95, 145 in assessments and only paid
out So 1874, 200 in benefits to the strikers
TT IS, INDEED, difficult to imagine any,
IL thing more abysmally malicious. For
here the "hired hand" who tries to serve
Paul Block, Jr., so well - apparently en-
couraged by newspaper m%onopolist Block
for he keeps this up issue after issue -
has sunk below all levels of decency.
These people know hat strikes in the
UAW-CIO cannot be 80 r d" from
above or from anywhere else. They know
that in every single instance the workers
involved directly must VOTE BY SECRET
BALLOT, and that these votes MUST
CARRY BY A TWO-THIRDS MAJORITY
before a strike can be called.
They also know h strike assess
ments are used for NO OTHER PURPOSE,
but for strike benefits. And that if all the
money collected during the Chrysler
strike were not spent for that strike, such
monies as are left in the international
unions treasury are specifically ear
marked for similar aid to other workers
in other strikes.
So, where is the profit" in any
strike?
The facts are that these lackeys of
Big Business gnash their teeth because
workers have a right to fight back . to
fight for their rights under our Constitu-
ton. They gnash their teeth in important
rage because workers who are not di-
rectly involved in a strike, rush to aid
their brothers and sisters who are COM
PEELED by their employers ito hit the
bricks"
1t would please them no end to see our
ranks divided.
They hate to see us united.
This is our "crime" in the eyes Of
these miserableminions. And their nonopo-
list bosses. So be it. We shall continue
to fight for our rights no matter to what
depths of hypocrisy Paul Blocks editorial
puppets may sink to.

1T is GRATIFYING, indeed, to note the
Il growing unity between the various
branches of Organized Labor as it grids
itself for the coming election campaign.
This move towards unity, of course, is
manifest all over the country.
But it is particularly noteworthy and
significant with respect to our own State
of Ohio where the fight will undoubtedly
be the Sharpest and most clear cut.
For in Ohio it is the People VS.. Taft
and his cohorts.
In all the land no one represents privi-
lege and reaction with such clarity as does
Sen. Taft. He makes no bones about where
he stands on issues. He is f%our-square
against Truman's Fair Deal, just as he
was bitterly opposed to Roosevelt's New
Deal.
Taft killed OPA. And with the kill
ing of OPA he has brought onto the
American people prices that are out of
this world; prices that are still climbing,
giving wage cut after wage cut to those
who have to work for a living.
Taft is the chief architect of the notori-
Gus Taft-Hartley law - the law hat was
designed to shackle the entire labor move
ment.
And as in the domestic field, Taft was
a leader to obstruct policies of the United
States government with respect to foreign
policy. AS Mr.. Jack Knoll, head of CLOS
PAC, said last Sunday at the huge state
wide PAC rally, g.. Taft and his cohorts
are responsible for giving the green light
to the march into South Korea"
Taft has been an able servant of Big
Business ever since he went to Washing
ton as a US. senator from Ohio.
TNHAT TAFT is an enemy of the com
IL mon people is now recognized by all
labor unions. That is why for the first
time in the history of Ohio - there is
absolute and solid unity between the
ALL, the Go, the United Mine Workers,
the Machinists and the Railway Brother
hoods for the purpose of electing Joseph
T. Ferguson, the Dem. candidate for the
US. Senate.
Mr.. Ferguson has been a public servant
for many, many years. Presently he is
the state auditor. He has never been in
volved in any scandle even in the remot-
est sense. He has a reputation for honesty,
integrity and courage.
Joe Ferguson is the kind of a demo-
crat who stands on the side of the COM
mon people.
Joe Ferguson has already made clear
his position with respect to President
Truman's Fair Deal program. He is
for it - 1000. He is the kind of a senator
who would be of great help to President
Truma to carry out his program for the
benefit of all Americans.

TNHIS MAN hates Tom Burke because
n Tom Burke stands on the side of the
COMMON people. This man hates every
n who advocatesthe welfare Of our peo-
pie. He hated President Roosevelt with
such fury that even today - long after
his death - he still trumpets his songs
of hate against one of Americas greatest
presidents.
This little puppet has always been on

creators of breadlines, Hoovervilles, the
apple selling brigades and those who -
in times of labor disputes and strikes -

This You Ought To Know
Our Greatest Enemy Is Our Own Ignorance

And we were all a bunch of prize suckers,
to put it mildly.
For as we all remember, the first month
after OPA was killed by Taft and his CO.
horts-including the Hon. Homer Ramey who
was a congressman at that time-prices jump
ed about 31%, with food items going as high
as 71% and in some instances over 1907.
THE RESULT OF this colossal high-jacking
L job soon became evident for those who
cared to investigate. Profits rose even more
Enthusiastically with the junking of the excess
profits tax. Since the excess profits tax was
eliminated by the Tafts, Brickers, ETC., cor
porate net income tripled and q~uadrupled.
General Motors alone is expected to net about
$1,000 million this year. This is almost a
5OO% increase over their net profit during the
last war year.
Certainly wages did not keep in step with
these phenomenal increases in prices and
profits. This is particularly true when we talk
about "real wage increases"-the increases re-

Gull. Hurricane Breaks Up
After Hitting veracruz
BY The Associoied Press

MEICO CITY, Oct. IA hur-
ricane, which sent ships scurry-
ing for cover in the Gulf yester-
day, then romped inland Grip
pling communications and level
ing crops, was reported today to
have pretty much blown itself out
The storm, which spent its final
fury on Veracruz, turned south
last night and was reported to
have broken up in the mountains
near the coast.
Some small ships were driven
on the beach by the winds, but
the bigger vessels managed either
to ride it out or to skirt the outer
edge of the storm and make for
the nearest port.
Banana growers in the Tuxpam
region north of Veracruz reported
heavy damage to plantations. In
Veracruz itself latest reports said
little damage had been done.
Trees were blown down, blocking
some streets, and some coastal
highways were flooded.
All communications within the
stricken area were disrupted.
