Formation of a bona fide trade
union group for reelection of a
man organized labor stands CON-
mitted to defeat is an event likely
to command attention at all times.
How much more so when this man
| is labor's foremost political target
in the 1850 elections-the senior
| u. S. Senator from Ohio, Robert
Alphonso Taft!
To shrug off the newly formed
Labor League for Taft as a freak
or bespatter it with insults does
not accord with the realities of the
situation. Meeting in Columbus,
Ohio, with some 265 union dele
gates present, the organization
elected a member Of the AFL Bro
therhood of Operative Potters as
its head. Chairman Willis 0. Hall
fired the first shot for Taft by
declaring: "We have organized this
league to show our appreciation
and to bring the true story about
Bob Taft to every working man
and woman in Ohio"

Events will prove whether the
new body commands sufficient
union support to tip the scales in
favor of sending "Mr. Republican,"
back to the Senate. As it is, labor
opinion in the Buckeye State is
heavily weighted against Taft, but
the strategists of the AFL, CIO,
Railroad Brotherhoods, Machinists
and Miners will do well not to
count the chickens before they are
Matched.
For, obnoxious as the Senator
may seem to this imposing array
of national and state union lead
ers, it is a fact that considerable
public opinion is on his side. This
sentiment has not diminished with
the Korean crisis. In fact, it has
gained new recruits through the
belief of many independent Ohioans
that at this fateful hour the state
deserves man of stature, author
ity and experience in the u. S. Sen

and understanding of national and
world issGes are largely unknown,

Further strength has been given
to these considerations by Senator
Taft's determined stand against
the pending economic controls bill.

bill as a measure that would give

US Labor Leaders
Target For Reds

Washington (LPA)-The Soviet
Unions top propaganda target in
the Far East is the American labor
movement-not Wall Street, ac-
cording to newsman John Herring.
Writing in the Washington Daily
News, Herling says the Russians
have singled out US union leaders
for their most abusive attacks.
Herling edits John Herling's Labor
Letter
AFL President William Green is
called the "arch- traitor to the in
terests of the working Glass;" Herl-
ing reports. CIO President Philip
Murray is blasted for supporting
"criminal US Intervention in Ko-
rea." President Walter .Reuther of
the United Auto Workers is de-
nounced for "his acts of treachery
to the working class"
But according to the Russians,
"The reactionary policy of Murray
and Green is being met by the
growing resistance of the progress
sive elements in the American
trade union movement"

embracing price, wage, rationing
controls at the present time
Freedom is hard to recover even
when the controls are proved un-
necessary" But if mobilization Of
labor and all-out preparedness are
imperative, as AFL President
Green editorially maintains in the
current issue of the American Fed
erationist, the nation and organ
lied labor above all must ask what
this means.
Surely, labor cannot claim for it
self freedom of action while strict
controls are clamped down in the
production, price and other fields.
To be specific, to exempt wages
alone from control is an obvious
impossibility. The workers, just
like any other group, cannot have
their cake and eat it, too.
Senator Taft has recognized the
issue in all its implications. He has
stated the problem as he sees it
and as it is recognized by nearly
everyone capable of exercising
judgment.

while leaving others virtually ex
empt.
Senator Taft has the courage o
his convictions. His views ma.
stand precious little chance amids
the hysteria that again grips tn
nation; yet he has again givel
voice to ideas and fears whicl
though outwardly silent are yer,
much on the peoples minds. Thi
writer believes that many citizens
in and outside of Ohio, share Nh
Taft's opinion:
eff we fix the price of steel,
it becomes necessary to fix the
price of iron ore and scrap and
alloys and then all of the pro-
ducts of steel. If we fix the
price of wheat we have to fix
the price of corn and rye and
oats and barley. If we fix the
price of any raw material we
have to follow it down through
the channels of distribution to
prevent profiteering along the
line.
'If we fix prices we soon
have to regulate almost every
practice in different industries,
because these practices affect
the price. 1t is generally agreed
now the prices cannot be eff
fectively fixed unless wages
and salaries are also control
led"
Americans ought to be careful
not to walk into the trap which
our enemies at home and abroad
have prepared. This does not NEAR

crisis lightly or abstain from ex
traordinary measures, if necessary
But whether bigger and better
statism is the answer to the pro
blems of western democracy anc
its leading exponent, the United
States, is more than doubtful.
That this attitude is not limited
to Taft and a handful of socalleC
reactionaries is attested by voices

time is shock hysteria in the pub

the President is ordered to refer
to the May "a to June "a period

South Korea-in determining fair

bill binds him to this period, and
neither bill binds him to tie wages
and prices to the same base date,

made in both Senate and House.

APPROPRIATIONS

The house sent to the senate two
appropriation bills that staggered

One was an emergency bill OF

other, a general appropriation bill
Of $35, 554, 400, 1925.
The senate approved the general
appropriation bill the following day
and sent it to President Truman for
his signature.
The emergency bill included the
big appropriation to purchase 1888
warplanes and boosts to more than
$50 billion the military OUTLAWS set
up for this year.
AS an idea how the money will
be spent, the bill included $3.50 mil

The general appropriations bill
carried a proposed $62, 500, 900 loan

the measure, which was surprising

Fall Planting
Every year the question of fal

few species of plants that may b

the country the vast majority o
plants are better planted in tn
spring. The winters are too sever
here and take a large toll of fall

trees. 1t is better to wait unit
spring.
Among the notable exceptions
are spring blooming bulbs, orien'
tai peoples, lilies and peonies-
which should be planted in early
fall (September) for best success
Iris survive fall transplanting wei
but are more successful if divided
and replanted a month or so after
blooming.
Peonies roots should be selected
which have strong roots with three
to five we'll developed eyes or buds
per crown. The soil should be pre-
pared deeply in advance of plant
ing. Add small amounts of well
rotted manure and fertilizer with
bonemeal, or a treble super phos-
phate fertilizer. If the latter is
used, apply it sparingly.
Prepare a good size planting
hole so that the peony roots are
placed without crowding or cramp-
ing. In planting make sure that
the eyes or buds are not more
than two inches below the ground
level. Planting too deeply discour-
ages blooming. Fill the planting
hole with a good top soil. Mulch
ing newly planted or established
beds helps to protect the crowns
from winter injury

RAILROADS.:
Strike Called Off

An unexpected strike threat, in
volving 131 major railroads and al
estimated 1,700, 900 rail workers
was called off by the unions after
President Truman issued an eXecu
tive order for federal seizure of the
railroads.
Acting quickly to prevent a ma
tional emergency, the President
ordered Secretary of tn Army
Frank Pace to take over the rail
lines and operate them Sin the
name of the United States govern
ment."
Within an hour the unions issued
a statement: 1.-THE men we repre-
sent will work for the government

For the past IS months rail un-
ions and management have been
deadlocked in a wage and hour dis
pute. The unions have demanded a
40-hour week and a 31-cent-an hour
wage boost for yard workers to
keep their take-home pay the same
as it has been for the present 49,
hour week.
Observers pointed out it was the
fifth time in 80 years that the gov
eminent has stepped in to take on
troll of the nations rail system. And
most members of congress gave
quick approval of the Presidents
order.
The unions considered the gov
eminent seizure of the roads a vic
tory for their side, but any jubila-
ton was quickly dampened with

press secretary Charles G.. Ross
that 'the government doesn't in
tend to conduct negotiations with
