More Liberals Are EIecfed To
Congress When Everyone Votes

Washington (LPA) = How can
you be sure that the next Congress
will be better than this one? You
can be certain of that by voting
November 7. It's as simple as that.
Election expert Louis Bean, who
predicted the outcome of the 1948
election in the summer of that
year, shows the Importance of a
big election day turnout in his
book, "The Midterm Battle"
In 1910 more than 45 million
votes were cast for Congressman.
A pretty good Congress was cleo
ted. In 1912 less than 80 million
went to the polls. In 1943 you got
the anti-labor Smith-Connally act.
The act called for a cooling off"
period before strikes and barred
political contributions by unions.
Again, in 1914 the vote for Con-
gressmen climbed to about 45 mill
ion. Then in 1916 the vote in the
Congressional elections dropped to
35 million. And in 1947 you got
the Taft Hartley act.
Finally, in 1948 the vote for
Congressman shot up past 45 mill
ion. And, of course, you got the
81st Congress.
Bean points out the present Con-
gress would have been much more
liberal than it now is, if the vote
in 194S had been normal. He says
that ever since 1910 there have|
been about 10 million "lost" voters.
By that he means that the in
crease in voters has not kepts upl
with the increase in the numberl
of persons over 21 since 1910.
The moral for labor is: Get out
and vote.
Beams book has been recon-
by officials of the AFL and
for Democratic Action,
others. They have ordered
copies by the thousands for their
key political workers.
Here's what Joseph D. keenan,,
director of Labor's League for
Political Education, says of the
book: "If you read between the
lines, Louis Beams advice is for
labor to quit flexing its muscles
over past successes and get down
20 work as it never has done be-
FORE" keenan, has urged all LLPE
workers to get a copy.

Washington (LPA) = Samue
Gompers, the centennial of whose
birth labor celebrates this year
almost went to Jail because of his
devotion to the labor movement. He
was saved only because by the time
he had lost his final appeal, the
statute of limitations applied.
The story begins in st. Louis
with the Bucks Stove and Range
Co. and the Iron Molders and
Metal Polishers unions. After three
leaders of the Metal Polishers
were fired in 1906 during a con-
tract dispute, the union struck, the
men replaced by scabs, and the
union started boycott. The COM
pany was put on the 1--WE don't pat
ronize" list of The Federationist,
official AFL publication.
A year later, j. w. Van Cleave,
president of the company, and also
head of the National Association
of Manufacturers, asked a restrain
ing injunction in the District of
Columbia court. He named the
AFL, the nine members of its ex-
ecutive council, the Stereotypers
Union, the Molders Union, and
their officials. He charged a con-
spiracy to injure his business.
On Dec. 18, 1907 Justice Ashley
M. Gould ruled that an unlawful
conspiracy to destroy Van Cleave's
business existed, and that a boy
colt was conspiracy. He issued a
preliminary injunction broad en-
ough to tie the hands of everyone
concerned and forbidding them to
publish or distribute any coipes of
the Federationist or any other ma
terial listing the company on the
1--WE don't patronize" list.

Local Union No. I
Fifth Anniversary
Successful Event

Tiffin, Ohio-Local Union No. Z
its Fifth anniversary
Tuesday, July 25 in the regular
meeting hall. A record attendance
was on hand for the occasion.
1t is regrettable no National
Officials could attend this affair.
We have not had one attend our
local union meeting for sometime.
Hope, at least one Of them can be
with US soon.
After the regular meeting the
evening was spent playing games
and drawing for prizes. Refresh
ments were served by the commit
tee, consisting Of Brothers Hixson,
Baker, Mcfarland,
Bentz, G. Mizen, j. Mizen. Broth
er Vassall was on the reception
to make sure every
one had ticket for the drawing.
The meeting room wall was post
I'd with bulletins Of the things ac-
by the union these past
five years. The items brought back
old memories to many of us.
Local No. 7 membership feels in
1ebted and indeed thankful for the
donations by the Athletic Club at
,he plant, the NJ. & r. Cafe and
McGowan's Arcade who helped very
much to make the party a success.

British tue Warns
Members Against
Communist Trick

London (LPA) - The British
Trades Union Congress has warned
it's affiliates Of the latest Com
munist trick to infiltrate demo-
cractic unions. That is the scheme
of the Communist dominated World
Federation of Trade Unions to go
behind the backs of labor fedora
tions and approach individual
unions with proposals to associate
themselves with the trade depart
ments of the WFTU.
The invitations, said the TUG,
are to work with the WFTU trade
departments, attend as guests or
observers, conferences, congresses,
meetings with working committees,
exchange publications and enter
into correspondence on topics
which appear to be of common in
terest.
All this is part of a specific task
given the WFTU trade departments
at a meeting in Budapest. Another
trick is formation of Friends of
the WFTU", to be recruited from
small traders, "intellectuals" and
women's groups.
TUG points out that many unions
in Britain are members of the ap-
international trade secre-
tariat of their trade, industry, or
profession, that the unions have
been using these services for so
years, and that each TUG affiliate
has a list of recognized interna-
tional trade secretariats.
TUG, along with Americas AFL
and CIO, helped form the Interna-
tional Confederation of Free Trade
Unions.

Says America
Has Lied TO Negro
By Mark Hyman

PHILADELPHIA CAMP Rev.
J. C. Austin, pastor of the Pill
grim Baptist church, Chicago,
challenged the colored man in
America to get himself together
and make advances in business
for his own salvation.
He dashed out at America as a
nation by saying, Cali America
has promised the black man has
been a living lie from the Boston
Commons down through Presi-
dents Wilson, Roosevelt and Tru-
man."
His speech was called "The De-
ception of Democracy"
Austin was cheered for a full
20 minutes after he had delivered
the fiery address to $4,000 mem
bers and delegates assembled.
The Chicago minister told of his
tour through Africa and of the
untold wealth being taken by the
white man for his own use. "We
could have all of this for our
Selves" Austin cried, eff we hao
not been asleep on the job.
He told the audience that Eng
land takes SITS, oOO,o 0o worth Of
raw materials and ore from, South
Africa alone each year and thai
most of this wealth is gathered
for England by the blackman.

On the topic of opportunities

said:
"My privilege of service on the

country and abroad, has given me
the sense of the almost limitless

"Most of the barriers have been

become a reality. New fields hith-

| they are awaiting all nurses.
"City and state hospitals in
many sections of the country are

Contends NINA. Didn't Go On Record
Favoring Voluntary Health Insurance
By Claude Nelson Jr.

voting against his recommendation
for a stand favoring compulsory
health insurance in the convention
here at Hampton institute, the
National Medical association did
not actually go on record as
favoring voluntary plans over COM
pulsory plans, DR.. c. Herbert
Marshall Of Washington, d. c.,
the immediate past president,
pointed out here in an interview
on Sept, 2, the day after the
meetings ended.
Some of the members were sur
prised, declared DR.. Marshall,
when he reminded them what had
actually happened. The House of
Delegates heard a majority re-
port" from the Committee on the
Presidents Address, and a min
GRITTY report" The minority report
favored adopting all of President
Marshall's recommendations for
resolutions, new financial and
business procedures etc.
The majority report, the one
adopted by the membership, mere
ly deleted the recommendation
that the group take a definite
stand for Compulsory health in
surance, in principle, and limited
tothe medically INDECENT" i.e..
those families whose income would
be set up under the plan).
Thus, as Mr.. Marshall interprets
the matter, definite action still
has not been taken. Last year, the
group turned down a recommends
ton that it had a chance to act
on such a resolution the day after
defeating DR.. Marshall's proposal
but the secretary, DR.. P. T. Ro'
binson of New Orleans, simply
read it and commented hat the
group had acted on compulsory
health insurance the previous day
No one raised the question of the
wording of the previous resolu
ton.
That the new president, DR.
Henry H. Walker of Nashville
shared the opinion that the groul
had taken a definite stand wa
made plain when he said, in hi
inaugural address, "Now that tn
organization has so emphaticall.
expressed it's opinion on the ques
ton of compulsory health insur
ance, | would like to state my op
position to it."
Most ofthe speakers who ex
pressed themselves in the debat
on President Marshall's propose
the day before had made it clea
that they did not favor "~socializ
ed medicine" whether for o
against compulsory health in
surance."
