The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1950-11-24

essential to loyalty to democracy
namely, faith in progress. Labor has
strengthened democratic faith by re
enforcing confidence in economic, in
dustrial, and personal progress and by
increasing the responsibilities and re-
wards of the individual in our in
dustrial society. Since free enterprise
depends on industrial f-government
and direct dealing between worker
and employer, it is important that
through organization workers and en-
ployers can work together to make
rules which are satisfactory to both
labor and management.
Through organized labor the work
er gains new status. He has the right
to negotiate with management no
matter whether he works in factory,
a department store, or a privately
owned business. Through organized
labor he may also negotiate with
such community groups as the city
council. Here he can participate in de-
termining his own working conditions
and in his opinions in the important
matters that affect his daily life.
He can secure redress against in
justices by t III e innumerable adj
vantages of group endeavor and by
the growing sense of right which he
has acquired.
Through effective unions wise poll
cies to promote the national well
fare, economically, socially and po-
litically are made possible. These
policies are the consolidation of lab
or's wisdom, the fruits of both storm
and calm.
Our policy of organized labor is
strongest bulwark against
fascism, nazism, communism or any
other foreign theology. Like the
weather, labor is ever present, thus
instilling in its members and among
others the American desires for free
dom of speech, equality and fair gov
eminent, which we call democracy.
SO we see that organized labor is
an essential part of our everyday life.
It's storm signals are warnings to de-
that may be read and evalu-
ated for progress; and its promises
and hopes of fair weather are the
it is making now, and the
accomplishments that it will make in
the future.-CATHRYN WOLLAS-
TON, Great Falls High School.

On Nov. % we people of America
will pause in our daily occupations to
observe our 33Oth Thanksgiving Day.
To many, it will be merely day to
heap all kinds of good food on the
tables with gatherings to the feast,
with much noise and cheer. Thanks
giving Day has a greater meaning,
we go back to it's origin, 1921 A.
D., when Governor Bradford of Ply
mouth colony proclaimed the day to
be set aside for public prayer and
praise for Gods merciful dealings
for those pilgrims in the wilderness.
Those dear forefathers and mothers,
their children, who risked their lives
to establish themselves homes in a
land where they might enjoy free
dom of worship, of thought, of OPP
portunity of peace and contentment.
What about Gods merciful deal
ings with we people in America to-
day and our autumn of 1850 A. D.?

Labor's Contribution To
Democracy

The greatest of organized labor's
contribution to democracy was their
aid and support of the public schools
and other public education. Organized
labor not only backed education for
children but even more strongly
started, held, and increased the teach
ing of it's members and their families,
both in trade and cultural fields.
Organized labor or unions have al
so greatly increased the standard of
living of the entire country. This has
been accomplished through bitter and
prolonged battles with big business
enterprises, by using their most po-
tent weapon-the strike. The pri-
mary result which was attained was
the shortening of the period of time
which made up a shift, or a laboring
day, from twelve and fourteen hours
to eight. This was, perhaps, the great
est thing accomplished toward rails
ing the standard of living. Of course,
the corresponding increase in wages
paid to the working man for eight
hour shifts, was means of enabling
the working man to own his home,
furniture, his automobile, etc., to have
savings account, and thereby to
raise the standard of living for not
only these working men but for all
people.
Another important contribution of
organized labor is the benefits which
it gives to it's members in various
cases such as: death, sickness, unem-
ployment and old age.
