Labor Leaders
Pledge fol Fight
Red Aggression
U. S. Workers Find
Conditions Here Are
Better Than Abroad
BY the Associoted Press

Labor celebrated its annual
holiday today, pledging to work
for the defeat of Communist
aggression everywhere.
That is the prime goal stressed
in Labor Day messages by Presi-
dents William Green of the AFL
and Philip Murray of the CIO.
President Truman had sounded
the keynote for the Labor Day
speechmakers in a statement for
the occasion several days ago. He
said he knew he could count on
organized labor's support against
Communism to win peace-"A A
peace that will mean even greater
rewards not only for our own
workers but for workers every
where"
On their mid-century Labor
Day, workers of the United States
could take stock and count them
selves fortunate by comparison
with workers elsewhere in the
world.
This country's workers had the
best of it in wages, purchasing
power and worldly comforts.
Mr.. Green, recalling warnings
by his organization against Com
munist aggression, said:
Nov the full scope of Commu-
Eist treachery and the full danger
of the Communist threat against
world peace is at least becoming
apparent to all Americans and to
all freedom-loving and peace
loving peoples"
Mr.. Murray called attention to
the anti-Red purge the CIO has
just completed Of its own ranks
and declared:
THE workers of America want
a peaceful world, in which men
and women may work to improve
their living standards, their DEM
ocratic institutions, their per-
sonal good and welfare. These
are precious goals, and we will
strive for their achievement"
Similar expressions came from
Secretary of Labor Tobin and AL
j. Hayes, president of the Inter-
national Association of Machin-
lists. Mr.. Green and Mr.. Murray
rededicated their organizations to
strive for repeal of the labor-hated
aft-Hartley law.
Secretary Tobin, Mr.. Murray,
Mr.. Green and John L. Lewis,
head of the United Mine Workers,
had addresses scheduled later in
the day at labor rallies in various
sections of the country.
While pledging the CLOS ut
most effort against communist ag-
greSsiop, Mr.. Murray warned that
the CIO will vigorously oppose any
effort to retard labor at home.
Let no man think he can take
advantage of the national crisis
to weaken our unions or to rob
our people of hard-won gains, {"
said Mr.. Murray.
Able to Meet Defense Needs.
Mr.. Tobin said in a radio inter-
view yesterday that the Nation has
untapped sources of manpower
and the ingenuity to meet any
labor demands for defense.

Reds Crack Allied Northeast Line
Drive 12.5 Miles South Of Nqye;
Taegu> Pohang Face New Threats
Yonks Score Again
Against Enemy's
Noktong Bulge
By Russell Brines
Assoeiotsd Press Foreign Correspondent

TOKYO. Sept. 1.-Two tank
led Red Korean columns cracked
Allied lines on the northeast war
front today and forged down
main highways in a power drive
that threatened to outf1ank strate-
gic Taegu and Pohang.
The Reds broke through de-
fenses south of Kigye in the Po-
hang sector. Advance spearheads
rolled south 1212 miles for the
greatest Red gain in weeks.
Elsewhere OH the 120-mile
front, Allied forces beat back
fresh Communist attacks. An
American counterthrust by Ma
rines and doughboys ground out
gains in the Reds Naktong River
bulge west of Yongsan.
Associated Press Correspondent
Benz Price reported that the
Communist drive in the north
east smashed to the outskirts Of
Kyongju. This is a main highway
center Is miles southwest of the
east coast port of Pohang.
Another Red column rammed
nearly five miles into South
Korean defenses on a wide south
western drive toward Yongchon.
This town lies on a main road
network midway between Kyongju
and Taegu.
Deepest Drive into Wall.
The breakthrough toward KY
ongju represented the deepest
penetration the Reds have made
in the U. N. beachhead wall since
it was erected in early August.
Heavy fighting ragged all along
the battlefront, a United States
9th Army communique reported
late tonight.
American Marines and I'd Divi-
sion infantrymen made their gains
west of Yongsan in the second
day of an assault to drive
threatening Red bridgehead across
the Naktong River.
A Marine major said the Reds
were on the run in this sector,
where the joint task force has
knocked out IA Red tanks in two
days.
An intelligence officer said three
and perhaps four Red Korean di-
visions-possibly 10000 troops
had been massed in and near the
Naktong bulge.
On the northwestern front, 1st
Cavalry troopers counterattacked
Communist forces strongly de-
Tending a 3,0O0-foot ridge IL miles
north of Taegu. They drove with
in 100 feet of the summit.
To the west, 1st Cavalry foot
troopers hammered back several
Communist attacks, including an
attempt to cross the Naktong Riv-
er north of Waegwan.
Five Red Divisions Massed.
First Cavalry Division officers
told Associated Press Correspond
ent Jack Macbeth they were con-
fident of holding back the Reds
in this vital sector, where the
North Koreans have massed five
divisions-nearly $4,000 troops.
In the southwest, American
forces held their original posi-
tions after smashing back new
Red attacks this morning west
of Masan. The Reds are re-
ported to have lost $4,000 troops
in this sector in three days.
American forces mopped up
scattered bands of Communists
far behind the front line.
A United States cruiser slipped
into coastal waters and joined two
destroyers in pounding Red
forces on the southern front.
In the Tongyong area Is miles
south of Masan, South Korean
marines and naval units and Al

eaCear Mr.. Bowsher:

tto1ear MI. BoWSner:
s@i
Over the past few years I have made many trips to
Washington, DC. in behalf of schools affected by War
and Defense activities. Such schools have either had con-
siderable land taken off their tax duplicate, by the govern
ment, or have a large influx of population because of Hous-
ing Projects or both and therefore have looked to the Fed
eral Government for relief.
AS a result of these trips, I have become acquainted
with several congressman; have observed them at work,
learned how they are respected by their fellow Representa-
tives, and whether they are open-minded and fair.
Among those ! have observed at close hand is your
congressman, Thomas Burke. He has worked hard for
Education, both for War and Defense Areas and for Educa-
ton nationally. When the General Aid Bill was doomed.
Mr.. Burke introduced a measure calling for $500, 000, 600
for teachers salaries, specifically. This bill almost became
law.
Tom Burke Is a highly respected broad-minded, hard
working Congressman. We talk so much about getting
superior men, to represent us in our government and then
do SO little to show our appreciation and support when a
truly superior man is elected that ! felt the very least l
could do was to Let you and the people of your congress
sional district know of my humble observation.
But aside from his support for the education of boys
and girls, I believe Mr.. Burke to be a superior congress
man. He has taken his job seriously and conscientiously.
He works unbelievable long hours. He is highly regarded
by the leadership and by his fellow members.
Respectfully yours,

ing to organized labor, many
from professional and business
walks of life will be on hand.
Reuther carries more political
weight in the country, and es-
pecially in Ohio this year, than
almost any labor union leader
now active.
His political strength stems In
large measure from the fact that
he represents the new labor
craftsmanship - the far-sighted
grasp of the social changes
which have been brought about
by the organization of mass in
dustries, a sure touch in placing
the power of the giant Auto
workers-CIO, behind long range
legislation, and the fact that
with it all, he Is still a veteran
of the old school of industrial
organization.
Reuther's public appearance
in Toledo at a time when the
full strength of practically all
the major unions in the country
has been thrown behind Fergu-
son to defeat Taft is of top sig
nificance.
That is why, though a tre-
mendous turnout from UAW-
CLIO shops in the Toledo area is
expected as a matter of course,
and a big representation from
AFL, MESA, lam and BRIT
groups will be on hand as well,
the entire community will be
on hand.

tionship which had been, up
until 5 pm. Wednesday, ex-
ceptionally cooperative, to
one of some distrust.
Nevertheless, the package
was at least 1853 cents and
would probably work out,
within a few weeks, to a
figure substantially higher.
And If it did not, the
Willys-O Overland unit had a
80 day reopening clause
which it held over from the
previous contract.
A highlight of the agree
ment, which is subject to
ratification, is a fully funded
pension set at Z cents - a
figure based on the now out
|moded social security la w.
When the current social Sc
.curity figure goes into effect,
the benefits to the employees
will climb correspondingly.
Contained in the contract
is the long-sought clause pro-
viding for transfer of credits
from one trust fund to an
other. This is the basic clause
essential to any area pension
plan - and was obtained
first at Willys-O Overland.
Many considered it fitting
and appropriate that the
largest single UAW-CIO en-
ployer in Toledo with juris-
diction running at about T.
100 today should be the one
to pioneer in the inevitable
area pension provision which
the Blade and a group of
manufacturers spent so much
money, space and time try
ing to defeat.
Another feature of the
agreement is an insurance
plan estimated at 5.32 cents
per hour. This, too, is fund
ed; it is paid entirely by the
company d administered
jointly by the company and
the union, and contains
phrsseology which will
eventually build the benefits
to a substantially greater
figure. AS of now it contains
LOO eat h, $1,100 acct
dental death, and family
protection which includes
$3.50 per day hospital cover
age, $127.50 incidentals, $225
maximum surgical, and ma
ternity provisions, plus dis
ability payments of $50 for
rs weeks.
Night shift bonuses were
raised to 712 and 10 cents for
the second and third shifts,
and employees got increases
ranging from 10 to Is cents
per hour. The vacation
clauses were completely re-
written with benefits to the
employees estimated to cost
the company in the neigh
borhood of ga cents. Skilled
workers were among those
getting an extra 5 cents.
The probabilities are that
the inept activities of those
purporting to speak unilater-
ally for the company will be
unable to disrupt the excel
lent relationship between the
union and the company
brought about by the agree
ment.
For the agreement was
certainly the best deal yet.

Are coffee prices important to
you?
Does it matter to you what
you pay for meat, eggs, milk?
Do you think it makes any diff
ference whether your social Sc
curity is cut to pieces or expand
ed; whether your union Is hand
cuffed or freed to serve you,
whether your nations spokes-
men are talking for you or for
big business?
If these things are important,
politics are important.
This year, how you vote - or
even whether or not you vote -
will determine what you pay al
the grocery, what happens when
you are laid off or retired.
There's nothing dull or unim-
portant about your vote this
year.
You can vote for a price gouge
two different ways-by voting
for Taft or by staying home.
You can vote for reasonable
prices, security and justice by
voting for Ferguson.
It's as simple as that.
