Because George, the infal-
lible, who is editor of The
Toledo Times rambled all over
the lot in his editorial of July
%. l have been forced to use
two columns to answer him.
Last week / commented on
the two crimes of which
George finds me guilty. AS I
told you then he has discov-
cred that l like the job and
that I am from the ranks of
labor. (Just in p S S n g,
wouldn't a guy be an awful
dope to work like an Indian
to win reelection to a job he
did not like?)
To George anyone who is
pro-labor must of necessity be
an unpatriotic imbecile. To be
pro-labor in his book prevents
a person from being pro-pub-
lie. OF course, this is not true
but it is only one of the many
unthruths George insists on
tossing around.
A good example of his care
les disregard for the truth is
contained in the second para
graph of his editorial in these
words, "Sir Thomas (thank
you, George) urges all work
erS in the precincts of CO."
Whether George knew that
this letter went to unions of
all affiliations or not is of no
particular moment. He has
hoped in this and his other
blubbers to convince union
people who are not members
of Clio that / ignore all I'M
ion people except Clio. His
little snide trick has never
paid off because the people in
AFL, Brotherh6odS and indie
pendents know the truth.
Before l discuss Georges
lack of knowledge of labor
legislation l would like to take
up some of the ideas he has
expressed on collective bar
gaining. Even considering
Georges all-embracing wis
dom, conferred on him by his
exalted position as EDITOR,
/ have got to say his blurb is
downright ridiculous.
He advises me to look into
the contracts of Local IL and
come up with the same an
swer he reads into their ex-
istence. George probably does
know it, (there I go again,
saying there may be some
things George doesn't know,
but l have had some slight ex-
perience with negotiation of
Local IL contracts. He might
consult some employers in
Toledo on that statement.
There is one thing l have
found in negotiating with
management in Toledo. Every
management man l ever dealt
with across the negotiating
table was a business man who
was paid to know his bust
ness and who did know his
business. Not one of them
ever gave anything more than
they had to give. l have never
at any time had occasion to
jump up from the table and
shout, "Goody, goody, look
what this great big, wonderful
company has given us out of
the goodness of its generous
heart"
George tried to give the inn
preston that Local II and
other labor contracts are be-
slowed by a benign manage
ment operating under the
mellow influence of a law
known as the Taft-H Hartley
Act. Hogwash, George! If
what you say is true, that
these contracts were negod-
ated in a beautiful atmosphere
of moonlight and roses, just
why in hell did your boss and
the Committee to Save Toledo
Payrolls spend all that dough?
You figure that out in your
own ivory tower. / don't want
my noggin to ache.

THE BRUTAL FACTS of the situation
are that while these huge corporations
- and they are all alike, all making rec
ord smashing profits - are building up
incredibly high earnings, the average
wOrkingman is getting a wage cut.
Yes, a wage cut, despite the wage in
creases that our unions are able to squeeze
out of these corporations. This is so be-
cause the prices on all commodities are
skyrocketing to the heavens.
What good is it to get five, ten or a
fifty cents per hour wage increase If, the
day after we get the wage increase, the
rise in the cost of living not only takes the
new increase away from us, but cuts deep
ly into what we were getting before.
For that is what we see happening all
over the country.
The people are made to pay and pay
double.
While the corporations are laughing up
their sleeves.
Well, it seems to us that unless we put
a stop to this situation at once we are 60
ing to find ourselves and our country in
very bad shape, indeed.
The best way to begin putting an end
to this situation is to get rid of Taft in the
coming election.
We can do that by ~electing Joseph Fer
guson to take the place of Mr.. Republican.
Joe Ferguson, who himself comes from the
ranks of the common people of Ohio, will
see to it that Big Business will assume its
proper share of the burdens of govern
ment and military preparedness. Joe Fer
guson will see to it that our wage in
creases will not be legislated away from
us by the Tafts, the Brickers and their ilk
in the Congress.
Joe Ferguson, in short, will represent
the interests of the common people and
of our country as a whole.
Taft only represents Big Business.
Taft has no place in the U. S. Senate.

TimeForP Plain Talk

Now, as to labor legislation,
abysmally ignorant on the
George claims that l am
subject. Oh course, not being
a newspaper editor. l don't
lay claim to all-embracing
knowledge of everything UNI
der the sun. I do know somst
thing about labor legislati6~
and | know it from practical
experience, hearings, court
cases, etc. I know the differ
ence between Taft-H Hartley
and the Railway Labor Act.
George doesn't seem to know.
Every word I wrote in my
letter about Taft-H Hartley is
true. This is borne out by our
hearings on the Hart Cotton
Mills case, the Rubin Shoe
Company case, the u. S. Rub
Der case, the Frank TX & Sons
case, the Bond Tie Company
case and several others. 1t is
also borne out by Business
Week magazine, and by one
of the authors of the Act.
After reading Georges rid
iculous nonsense ! have com&
to the conclusion that he has
never read the Taft-H Hartley
Act and that he is relying en-
tirely on the propaganda Of
his pressure group for his in
formation. In order to en-
large his knowledge, (al-
though, perish the thought
that his knowledge can be en-
larged), I want to set out for
him just one of the gimmicks
of TIL.
Taft Hartley has many Sec
tons and subsections which
taken by themselves are tough
enough. But, when you COM
bine them, WOW, what a soup
you get! 1t is something like
nitric acid and glycerin. Nitric
acid will burney burn and you
have to use care in handling
it. Glycerin is bland, a very
innocent substance. Put thel
together in the right proporA
ton and you get nitro-glycerin
which amt healthy to drop.
Taft Hartley sections 9(c),
(1A) and 9(c) 8(b) a. (B)
and (C), and 10(1) all put to-
gether make an awfully ex-
plosive soup for labor. The
best way to describe the eff
feet of this diabolical mixture
is 10 quote the magazine,
Business Week in its issue of
December 18, 1913. 1t is an
apt description in a period
ical not known to be wildly
'pro-labor."
"Given a few million unem-
ployed in America, given an
Administration in Washington
which was not pro-union-
and the Taft-H Hartley Act conf
ceivably could wreck the Ia
Dor movement.
"These are the provisions
that could do it: Cd Picketing
can be restrained by injunc-
ton; (2) employers can petit
ton for a collective bargain
ing election. (3) strikers can
be held ineligible to vote -
while the strike requirements
cast the only ballot; and (4)
If the outcome of this il a no
union vote, the Government
must certify and enforce 1t.
ANY time there is a sur
plus labor pool from which an
employer can hire at least
token requirements,
these four provisions, linked
together, presumably can DEF
stroy a union" ~
You see, George, even a
publication for, of, and by
business interests agrees with
me and disagrees with you.
In the cases / mentioned
above, this devilish brew has
been used and it has wrecked
unions. Investigate and see
for yourself, George.

This You Ought To Know
Hoarding, Panicbuying Shows Fear And Lack Of Faith

told that for every three dol
lars we put into government
bonds today, ten year hence
we shall receive four back.
That sounds good. It's an ex-
cellent return. The trouble
is-and this the people have
learned already - that the
four dollars that they will re-
ceive ten years hence won't
buy as much as the three dol
lars will buy today.
So why invest in bonds?
Why not buy goods, useful
goods, that we know will e
tain their value no matter
what the value of the dollar
will be?
This is the reasoning that
causes the flight from the
dollar" This is why people
buy automobiles, homes, cleo
trio freezers, sugar in bulk
and what have you. And, un-
fortunately, this buying is
done on the famous install
ment plan with as little down
as possible and monthly in
stallments stretching into the
misty future.
But no one seems to care.
After all, if war should come,
well all have jobs" and
"there'll be plenty of dollars"
r r
FRANKLY, this type Of
l. thinking already caused
serious damage to our econ
omy. If permitted to continue,
the damage may very well be
irreparable for all time.
Therefore, 1t seems to me, that
the duty of Washington is to
take such steps as will cor
rect this condition. It isn't
enough for certain govern
ment officials to keep repeat
ing that there are no short
ages" today. The government
must take steps to control
profiteering and stop the fam
tastic rise in the price field.
People must be made to feel,
they must know that their
dollar will not lose their
value through senseless and
useless initiation. The govern
ment must serve notice that
the incredibly high profits of
the last few years will be
properly taxed to meet the
exorbitant expenses of mill
tary preparedness.
The government simply
can't talk about wage, price
and manpower" controls with
out controlling profits.
Unless these steps are taken
and taken Immediately our
economic system will suffer
irreparable damage and the
morale of our people will
sink to extremely dangerous
levels.

EXPLANATIONS for these
II conditions, of course, are
pouring in from every con-
ceivable source. In most in
stances the experts" the
analysts" the "prognostica-
tors" try to explain" this
highly dangerous situation by
continually referring to peo-
pie as being selfish"
people are just hungry
and selfish" they tell us.
But that Is not an explana-
ton that we can accept. AS a
matter of fact, we can't accept
II at all. For it is no explana-
ton, but rather an excuse
and a cheap one at that.
The facts are that people
n afraid. They don't know
what tomorrow will bring.
And they are not willing to
trust those who keep telling
them that everything is
okay" and that I'VE have
nothing to fear"
This Is not a new song.
People have heard this before.
And at one time most of them
believed 1t. Today very few

profits. These figures indicate that in 1850
General Motors will clear in net profits
the fantastic sum of around ONE Bill
LION DOLLARS.
Now, Mr.. Taft when is enough
enough?
How much profit should one corpora
ton regardless of its size - be allowed
to make in one year?
