derstanding and relationship that labor and manage
ment here built up period of years AS work
in shop this directly concerns because it means
instead of intelligent negotiations you trying to
build up hysterical situation, whereby everybody
hates everybody else Is this doing service to the
community whole?
Just what is wrong with the workers enjoying
urity~ and good wages? Doesn't the welfare of the
country whole depend the standard of living of
its people? Or you against it? Dick Gosser has
ried out the wishes of the majority of the membership
of union and did heck of good job doing that
So for doing this you attack him in your paper in the
most vicious way You speak of democracy from
side of mouth then support very small minority
group in a campaign of filth and community dishar
mony. AS labor leader Richard Gosser led the fight

Dear sir:
May l. as an open-minded citizen bespeak your
foregoance of continued and biased attacks of the To-
ledo Blade against the local CIO Unions.
These organizations have improved tremendously
the lot our average citizens of whom deem myself
to be
Years of Observations and personal experiences have
confirmed my belief that an organization such as the
CIO is outgrowth of conditions created by employer
tactics in years past
II is quite difficult for to be convinced by dia
tribes against organization which benefits him in
many ways
Allow to illustrae: In 1893 local Craft Union
organized local printing plant Craft members were
sent in to study production methods then in in this
plant After time these Craftsmen took the plant
and refused to accept into membership the old en-
ployees despite many and varied appeals These old
employees were forced out of their trade out of work.
and into the streets.
have yet to hear of CIO Union organizing plant
and forcing the discharge of old employees to make
room for their own chosen members.
Recently a personal experience has proven to me
that CIO Unions also motivated by humanitarion-
ism in their member relationships.
Permit me to illustrate again:
young, handicapped man applied for employment
at local plant. This plants examining physician turn
ed down this young mans application with state
ment ruthless that it shocked State Rehabilitation
Officer to whom it was shown
When all pertinent facts presented to the Shop
Committee of the CIO at said plant - the young
was found suitable employment and will thus be per-
mitted to develop into useful member of society.
Therefore, say that the CIO will continue its de-
velopment its beneficent actions become common
knowledge and, in my humble way 1 trust that you
will find it possible to give to this organization the
credit it deserves for work well done.
Truly yours,

FROM THE BIBLE
To The Editor

To The Editor
Dear Sir
This is passage in the Bible that something
like this: when child thought child and
sdid a child, but now grown to mans estate, I
have put away childish things"
Every time the Toledo Blade publisher feels like
starting calling campaign against our un
ion leaders, especially against MIR. Dick Gosser, why
doesn't he take look at this in the Bible and
put away childish things?
Running a newspaper is not job for child
childish person. 1t is too important to be used as
plaything
Toledo needs a good daily newspaper very badly
Instead of forcing somebody from outside to bring
in why doesn't the publisher of the Toledo Blade get
some grown-up to show him how it's done?
Sincerely,
Max Koralewsd

NOT VERY SMART
To The Editor
Dear Sir:

10 The Editor
Dear Sir: Jt
You people the Blade are not very smart. You
Srever seem to figure things all the way through.
During the election you put big campaign. And
aa there to that Tom Burke ought to be de-
Heated because he connected with the UAWCIO
land Dick Gosser.
Your theory that if Tom Burke was a
#good Congressman (as you said more than once)
body ought to vote for him because he an errand
i boy for Gosser
3 If you weren't dumb, you'd think twice before
you got that sort of idea started.
q Union don't like your nasty newspaper. Your
nasty is errand boy" for lot of adver-
tisers So why shouldn't union people refuse to vote
for (that to buy from) anyone connected with you
by advertising in your nasty newspaper
If the same reasoning got to be applied to your adj
vertisers that you applied to Tom Burke there would
be lot of blank spaces in the Blade and that would

The Empires exchange table that the taors have decided that men going to go into skirts for informal evening wear Someone has apparently dreamed up thing called Plaid Tux "host jacket" in red yellow, green, blue black and white plaid to be worn with kilt and an object known
 sporran which the ailors coyly explain keeps the kilt from waving freely in the breeze An informal breeze, suppose.
 This would appear to be as good time any to call in the socioogists to explain what is really taking place. Of late women folks have more and commonly taken to trousers first with slacks and shorts and now with blue jeans turned halfway up the calf which they hopefully imagine gives them that "gamn" look. If what the Customs Tailors and Designers Association has in mind becomes a trend our men will have done skirts, and complete trans vestism will be the way to becoming an accomplish ed fact
 Now there is really nothing more unsuitable about kilt for the Scotsman than there is for those ballet skirt looking things by Evzones in Greece for the Greeks. They look properly masculine and vire on the people to whom they belong by custom and tradi- ton. But just think of the type of person over here who is going sail for the kilt and sporran Oh dear

T HEsE DAYS
GEORGE E. SOKOLSKI BRITISH COMMONWEALTH

The great British Empire, in the 18th and 18th centuries, was a vast but loose association of states, nations, colonies, protectorates and alliances. which covered the earth and produced trade. It was pro duct of zealous enterprise, brilliant civil service operations, and com petent colonization. No continent was without some British rela- tionship and the British boasted that the sun never set on thelr flag and that they ruled the waves.
 The first area within the British sphere to break away was the Un- tied States of America, founded on July 4, 1776, under the leadership of brillian group of Englishmen, headed by George Washington.
 The loss of the American Col onies" was a bitter blow to Brit ish colonialism and was not to be repeated for more than century. The device to safeguard the Empire was conceived by Lord Durham, who, in 1889, in relation to Can ada, laid down a method for res ponsible self-government' within a voluntary commonwealth. The Dur ham report established the Domin- ion-an independent state within an .s.,~o,.;ol ,,pio,, DomipiO,1 self f-pOV- ernment continues in British com- monwealth of nations and is the spine of the system. Canada, Aus tralia. the Union of South Africa, New zealand-these are the basic areas of Empire.
 The informality of the British method has been it's strength. Whereas, the Empire has lost Ire

STATEHOOD

There is an old saying, don't count your chickens before they matched. This is true in the present Statehood for Alaska situation
 The Statehood measure passed the House by vote of lSe to l4e which is opposition than predicted and from a membership of 453
 The bill now goes to the Senate to be referred to a committee which may act now or one year from now as the case may be.
 Then if the Senate eventually does pass the state hood bill and there will be opposition in that upper bodA of Congress there will be necessary consttu- tona convention to be called action to be approved by the President general election for two Senators and one Representative, then reported back to the President who will issue a proclamation declaring Alaska State.
 It all takes time, so do not begin banking on the outcome just yet.

 One reason why girls who make the first misstep continue in lives of crime prostitution IS because all too often they have family friends who nave the slightest interest in their welbeing It ooesh take psychiatrst social worker to realize that It is very easy for girl to ask herself, Whats the user if she feels there isn't single soul who cares hang about what happens to her.
 Twenty Cincinnati about to launch program which they hope will do something toward helpne this situation Each of these women proposes to act as sponsor for girl in a State or county correctional institution They will write to the grs send them small presents, visit them and help them get jobs when they return to the community
 Inspiration for this movement comes from Mrs. Margaret von Selle staff member of the C1nclnnaU Social Hygiene Society who has been acting as coun seor for girls in these institutions for the last three wears Too many of these girls forgotten by theT narents and the community Mrs. Von Selle says "oo many are returned to institutions alter an un- successful parole and far too many turn to careers of prostitution because helps them after they come home"

land and Egypt, it has been able to devise methods of giving India freedom and yet keeping both Hindustan and Pakistan tied to the Empire, as the recent Colombo Conference has clearly proved. And while Canada is part of the British Empire, it is as free Cor even more so) from British control as the United States. While the Union of South Africa is less tied to Great Britain sentimentally or physically than either Canada or Australia, it has come into two world wars, and such areas as Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, outside the Union but inside the Empire, give to it a strength greater than is these days recognized. M
 The stepping of Empire are not as steady as before the war; yet, the British came out of the war, holding Gibraltar and Malta, the western and eastern fortresses of the Mediterranean, and Egypt cannot stand alone in the face of any enemy. M
 Great Britain, by alliances and subsidies, built an enormous bas- ton in the Middle East, in the Arab States, among which Israel was situated, first by the Balfour declaration; then as a British mandated area under the League of Nations; and finally as an in dependent state.
 As a matter of maintaining the stepping stones of Umpire, this region is essential to Britain and whether it's friendliness is maintain ed by supporting the Arabs or find ing a union of Arabs and Jews, it will be maintained. tt
 The change of Indian status is not yet historically clear; the Brit ish position, shifting from admin istrative control to economic CO., operation, may even be strength7 ened. Indonesia, which while Dutch-l owned was British controlled, now that it is independent cannot stand alone. What it will do remains un- certain.
 Burma, MaIaya and even Borneo have suffered from the conquest of China by Soviet Russia. What hap pens to Burma and Malaya depends upon what happens to French Indo- China and Siam. If they join the Soviet Union or are conquered by Soviet China, all of southeastern Asia will fall. If the United States is forced to retreat from the Japan Okinawa- Philippines line, should Formosa fall to Soviet China, the, south seas areas of the British commonwealth will be endangered. Australia and New Zealand are even now protectable only by the United States.
 The fact remains that the British Empire-now called the common wealth of nations-is not by any means dead. The system of self government, of independence with in a system of inter-dependence, of recognizing separatism within a union, loose in organization, as sentimental as materially bene- ficial-does work.
 Actually, one would have expect ed that the shock of an indepen- dent India and an antagonistic government in South Africa would have shattered the Empire.
 It has not done so. This gives to Great Britain an importance in the councils of nations far beyond the economic or military strength of the British Isles-A condition related to the recent eleclion.
