have heard my friends from
some Of the Southern States re-
fer to violence in northern cities,
TO the lack Of opportunity In

Of minorities. want to say TO
them in all charity, this 10 one Of
the reasons for our wanting a ma
tional or Federal FEPC Act, be-
cause we know that the people OF
the United States move from
community to community and
from State to State. We want to
be sure that the patterns of hu-
man conduct are established in de-
cent and equitable relationships
In the new communities to which
they go. whether the communities
be in the North. the South, the
East or the West.
This proposed legislation has no
sectional import. We are not try
ing to point the accusing finger
at any one area Of America. Dis
elimination is a universal sin in
all parts of America. 1t is not the
part, it should not be the part, Of
any member of the Senate to feel
that any one section OF the country
IL being singled out for the pur-
poses OF criticism or condemna-
ton.
The issue Is simply this: Are we
to permit patterns Of discrimina-
ton to become universal and to
become set, or are we to legislate
against actions and conduct -
antisocial conduct-involving dis
elimination and intolerance?
Let US not forget these facts.
Let US not allow the false issues
raised by opponents of this pro-
posed legislation to becloud the
real issues. l shall have something
to say about these false issues. To
raise the issue of whether the
Senate committee should have
held hearings-and make parti-
cular reference to that-to raise
such an issue, even though hear
Ings have been held since 1914 on
this question. or to raise the issue
OF how early or how late the re-
port on this bill was submitted Is
to talk with the tongue in cheek.
Let me digress for a moment. l
said yesterday on the floor Of the
Senate that with respect to hear
ings on unemployment practices
we have had thousands Of hear
lngs, we have had testimony from
hundreds Of witnesses. But now
the issue has been raised that we
have had no hearings on this bill
in the Senate. in the Eighty-first
Congress, despite the fact that on
an identical bill in the House.
hearings were held. The House Of
Representatives Is a coordinate
branch Of the Federal legislative
process. But the question Of hear
ings does not appear to be an issue
except when some of our friends
want II to be.

MOT SO LONG AGO good many people
~ looked upon Mike DiSalles candidacy as
somewhat of political adventure, "stab in
the dark" Hardly anyone gave Mike chance,
although most of us agreed even then that
Mike would make good candidate and, II
elected, Senator who would render excellent
service to the people of Ohio and the nation
as whole.
Today however, even the most skeptcs
have to admit that the situation is vastly
changed. Today Mike not only has chance"
but actually he is conceded to have the BEST
chance to win the primaries and to go on from
there to unseat Taft in the fall.
THIS BECOMES quite obvious even after
cursory examination of recent develop
ments in Mikes campaign The fact that
Mayor Tom Burke of Cleveland has taken
over the direction of Mikes campaign on a
statewide basis is in itself of tremendous inn
portance. Everyone Knows that Cuyahoga
county with Cleveland as its heart, has been
for many years and still is the pivot of any
democratic campaign in Ohio. 1t is almost inn
possible for any Democratic candidate to win
on statewide basis unless that candidate
carries with him Cuyahoga county.
To really appreciate this point / point to
the 1888 gubernatoral primaries when Gov
Davey was running for denomination to sue
ceed himself, Gov. Davey the man who called
out the troops against the steel strikers in 81,
because of the tremendous pro- labor and lib
eral Democratic votes cast in Cuyahoga coun-
ty, went down to defeat Even though the Hon.
Gov. came up to the Cuyahoga county line
with $4,000 vote majority from the rest of
the state he went down to defeat because
Cuyahoga county gave his opponent, MIR.
Charles Sawyer presently our u. S. Secre-
tary of Commerce a $4,000 vote majority.
Thus, for the first time in over one hundred
years of Ohio history, an incumbent governor
fail to receive denomination by his own party

simply because of the tremendous vote cast
in Cuyahoga county.
Well, with Mayor Tom Burke pitching
pretty hard for Mike, it would seem that
Cuyahoga county may well be in the winning
column for our mayor when the votes are
counted after May 2. In any event, the Cuya-
hoga vote shall be badly split in which case
the rest of the state may very well determine
the victor in the Dem. primaries.
SIMILARLY encouraging reports are coming
~ in from the rest of the state particularly
the industrial and heavy Democratic sections
Down in Hamilton county, which includes
Cincinnati and its suburbs, people like VIM.
Harlow and Ed Tepe, prominent Democratic
leaders are working hard in behalf of Mike.
Mr. Iepe is executive secretary of the Hamil-
ton County Democratic Committee In Dayton,
another great industrial section with heavy
Dem vote, the Disable for Senator Committee
is headed by Jim Sullivan the secretary of the
Young Democratic Committee
In nearby Butler county, which means
Hamilton and Mddletown the Disable cam
paign is headed by Harry Grieve, Dem. Com.
Secretary and Frank Dobrowzi, who happens
to be the Clerk of the Board of Elections
there.
Swinging across the state to Mahoning and
Summit counties, Youngstown and Akron
respectively, the situation is practically the
same with leading citizens and Democratic
leaders spearheading Mikes campaign Even
through counties like jefferson, Harrison Bel
mont and Monroe, the southeast section of
ONO, mayors and county officials are lining
up behind Mike. The mayors of Hopedale
Tiltonville and Yorkvlle, Roy Skeen, Andy
Slydy and Nick Calabria respectively, are now
actively campaigning for Mike In Steuben-
vile out of % Democratic lawyers 20 are for
Mike.
In the northeast section of the state, Con-
neaut and Ashtabula the situation is also very
encouraging In Lorain the Disable for Sena-
tor Committee is headed by Mayor Patrick j.
Flarety.
WITH THIS type Of an organization already
W in existence, and with the primaries al
most month away, it seems to me that Mikes
chances are excellent.
However, the best candidate in the world
will go down to defeat unless the rank-and-
file voters get behind him and put him over
the top That means votes Yes, votes not in
November but on May 2. That is why it is so
important that we get the vote out in the pri-
mary elections Right here in Lucas County,
certainly heavily populated industrial sec
ton, we should make it our business to put
Mike over with tremendous majority.
1t can be done. Taft can be defeated, But
it most certainly won't be done unless we get
out and work for and, on May 2nd vote for
Mike Disable for u. S. Senator from Ohio.

ToIedoons Losing SI,0s3.l2
In Weekly Puyrolls

WE ARE TOLD that as OF March 10
w there were approximately q, 500 job
less workers in Lucas County and Ross
ford. At the same time the number OF un-
EMPLOYED workers who were receiving
unemployment compensation fr m t he
state numbered 11,675 drawing, on the
average $2432 compensation per week.
When we asked for an explanation
why. out of 27 500 jobless workers only
11,675 were receiving state aid, we were
advised that the main reason for that is
that the fact that about 10000 workers
have already exhausted all their credits
and. therefore, have no more compensa-
ton coming until such time as they shall
be re-employed again and thus build up
their credits for the future.
The rest of the people not receiving
compensation are workers who were never
covered by the state compensation laws.
These are railroad workers, government
employees, people who were employed by
small business or young people who are
now entering the working force of our
community.
TO PROPERLY evaluate the "price," OF
unemployment is truly impossible Who
can put value" price tag" on the
misery caused by poverty by destitu-
ton in the lives of those who are deprived
of decent livlihood?
What "value"-in dollars and cents
can we place on the shattered life
boy who is driven to crime because he
has no job?
No, there is no way that society as
such can assess this scourge on its mem
bers.
Misery and suffering can only be felt
and not measured.
BUT IT is POSSIBLE for us to meas
ure the loss to our business community in
terms of dollars and cents. For example,
1t is entirely safe for us to assume that all
of these jobless people-27,500 of 'em
should be earning an average weekly in
come of $4,000. The average for manu-
featuring industries is roughly $500.
Thus, IL we take the Is, 1925 workers who
are NOT RECEIVING unemployment
compensation in our community, the loss
in earnings for them alone-based on the
$4,000 per week average - totals $79l $50
per week
Now, il on top of this, we take the DIFF
FERENCE between $24.32 weekly benefit
now being paid the 1l,675 unemployed
and the $4,000 they would get if regularly
employed, we get another total of $29l,-
875
Thus in a single week our community
is deprived of wages amounting to the
staggering sum of 81 ,083 ,125.
X
1T is A SHAME, if not actually a
crime against our people, to put up with
situation of this kind in a country like
ours. Certainly we have all the facilities to
put our people to work. And no one can
deny that we have great need for the
things that our people manufacture.
or course, full employment is the only
answer to this recurring scourge. And it
seems to us that someone better start
thing along the lines of giving our people
FULL EMPLOYMENT before the 'lux-
ury' of unemployment tears down the
very structure of our society.
