District Awaits RuIinq
On Senator S Demand
For Sex Records

The Commissioner will review
the law" before they decide
whether to turn over to Senate
investigators the police depart
ment files on sex perverts en-
ployed by the Government,
informed sources said today.
The demand of one Senator to
see the files now impounded and
kept under lock and key by Police
Supt. Robert j. Barrett, was re-
jected yesterday, Capitol Hill
sources said.
Whether this was final refusal,
however, was not clear, since the
call for the records came from
only one Senator, and not by Of
ficial order of a committee or sub
committee.
At the District Building, the
word was that the law was being
studied by Corporation Counsel
Vernon E. West.
Lawyers said the courts have
not yet ruled finally on questions
as to whether the appointed Dis
trict government is an agency of
the Federal Government or is re-
sponsible directly to Congress.
The secret files of the Metro
politan Police Department on Gov

We Should Not Give Up

TT SEEMS TO US THAT at least some
n labor leaders are giving up too easily
on the fight for the repeal of the notori-
Gus Taft-Hartley Act. "We shall concen-
trate our efforts on fighting for the well
fare issues proposed by President Tru-
man" these people say "And we shall
attempt to change the composition of the
Congress in the coming elections by
working for the election of candidates
who will support our fight for Taft
Hartley repeal is concerned.
Maybe they're right Maybe the 81st
Congress - dominated by reactionary
Dixiecrat-GOP coalition - is unreceptive
to the demands of Organized Labor.
Nevertheless, we must remember that
this Congress was swept into office on the
slsm-bang campaign of President Tru-
man for reelection :. campaign that
had as its key plank the repeal of the
Taft-Hartley Act. Therefore, il for no
other reason, we should keep hammering
away at these Congressman, reminding
them again and again why the Republican
majority of the notorious Both Congress
was eliminated and thus serve notice on
them that the day of reckoning will soon
arrive That, in our opinion, is the wav TO
prepare for the coming Congressional
elections. That is the way to keep the
electorate informed on what is taking
place in the halls of the Congress.

This You Ought To Know
BY Pete Zvara

was the standard war slogan of the well pro-
tected and financed company stooges
NHE THIRD and unmistakable lesson was
n the fact that Auto-Lite-like all other
corporations, with very rare exceptions, in
deed-never really accepted the idea of col
lective bargaining. Collective bargaining the
right of the workers to join unions of their
own choosing and to bargain collectively, is
almost totally alien to them. Yes, they accept
it wherever it is forced down their throats and
nowhere else. Indeed, this entire campaign
drove home the basic fact that-despite all
talk to the contrary-corporation are out to
smash unions to make them impotent
whenever they to rule their empires
supreme and without any hinderance from
any source especially from bonafide labor
union.
AS matter of fact am more convinced
than ever that our labor movement still has
to go long way difficult and torturous
way before Big Business will accept the con-
cept of collective bargaining. In the meantime
there is nothing left for the workers for
the union members especially but to fight and
fight with every means at their disposal to
hold their present gains their organizations
and to break through once in while to new
territories to new plants wherever that be-
comes possible.
A kAf COOhSE, tne flgnt 10 organize AutO-LlLe
" is not lost in sense that nothing can
be done about it. No. the fight will go on. And
eventually the Lockland plant, like all other
plants will find their slow and painful way
into the folds of our union But it will take
great deal of work great deal of the un-
ions resources and energies to accomplish this
job More than that, it will take great courage
and, perhaps much sacrifice on the part of
the Auto-Lite workers themselves-especially
In the unorganized plants-to carry on this
fight.
However, I'm sure that we will have all
this to continue this fight Certainly the UAW-
CIO with more than 900 Auto-Lite workers
already within its ranks has the power and the
tenacty and determination to carry on the
fight.
Furthermore there is nothing else we can
do. The only way to protect our organized
plants is by hammering at the gates of the
organized plants no matter how long it may
take. We cannot and will not permit any cor
poration to use its unorganized plants to cut
the throat of those of our members who are
employed in their organized plants And event
ually we shall win. With that victory will
come new day in the lives of the Lockland
workers. And the workers in any other un-
organized plants. Then, perhaps, they will be-
lieve us when we talk to them about free
dom" and democracy"
In the meantime with this fight continuing
in their plants, they will learn that freedom"
and democracy" belong to those who have
the courage to fight for it and the power to
retain it.

Prefers Initiation To Hole In Head

that in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, California
and Montana Nevins even quotes one of the
class of privileged wealth saying that the
rich own America and intend to keep it, ad-
mitting also that the rich bought legislators.
But that was long ago, wasn't it? Well,
was it? Only few years ago Philadelphia
running for Congress said that the well-to-do
are "the best people" and have a right to
rule.
Nevins also pointed out that "for capital
to combine was sane business practice; for la
Dor to combine was to challenge the tradition
of individual initiative, Business in politics
promised respectability; labor in politics could
only mean subversive forces at work"
Does the line of the Old Guard Republi-
cans, and the National Association of Manu-
facturers, and the Committee for Constitution
al Government sound any different today?
Even today in the midwest, union members
are being forced to listen, on company time,
to Freedom Forums" which turn out to be
attacks on the Truman policies, as previous

And the Truman welfare program is at
tackled as menacing free enterprise, as leading
us down the path to socialism," and even to
Communism"

must learn therefrom are even more bitter.
1T SEEMS TO ME that this campaign drove
home three main lessons that all of us in
the labor movement ought to learn and learn
we'll First of these, at least in my estimation,
is the undisguised FEAR that large and
wealthy corporation like Auto-Lite is able
through its willing and supine stooges-to in
still into the very hearts of its workers. Oh,
yes, you can talk all you want to about the
"rights" and democratic privileges" that we
Americans "enjoy" All that sounds good And
once in a while you will meet workers who
agree with you and believe in what you say
But in most instances FEAR sticks out all
over those workers who have to face the
music of the bosses and their stooges inside
the plant. Very often these Auto-Lite workers
would plead with us not to come to their
homes for fear that someone would find out
about our visits. Sure they believe in what we
said about union conditions and wages in our
organized shops. But very few of them be-
lieved that the UAW-CIO-or any other "out-
side" union-could give them protection on
their jobs.
This FEAR was particularly apparent
whenever we went before the plant gates to
pass out our literature Here none but the
boldest the most hardy dared to stop and
talk to us, to ask us a few questions to give
us bit of information about what was going
inside.
I ESSON NO 2 revealed before all of us the
IL ABSOLUTE POWER of the corporation
inside those we'll guarded gates The foremen,
apparently well drilled in their jobs. carried
on daily campaign of terror against the work
ers. No, they didn't carry whip in their
hands e. most of them didn't even get rough
verbally But the terror was there all the time
just the same. Workers were transferred from
one job to another from one shift to an
other seniority rights were violated with
impugnity Old workers were given 'lousey"
jobs where they couldn't make out" while
new and loyal" workers were showered with
kindness.
And all the time deadly whispering cam
paign kept the plant in turmoil. Look what
happens to people who want the UAW-CIO,"

The No. ! job

A S THE OHIO CIO Council begins its
n annual convention, it is apparent to
all that the No. l Job in 1850 of not only
the CIO, but the entire Labor Movement
is the defeat of Senator Taft in the COM
ing elections.
True, the defeat of Senator Taft is of
national Importance. Therefore, it is only
logical that Organized Labor throughout
our country will be. out to do whatever it
can to retire Taft from the Washington
scene.
But, it is equally true, if not (nore so,
that the immediate responsibility for do
ing this job lies directly with the Labor
Movement in the State of Ohio. After all.
only Ohio citizens can directly participate
in this election. Taft was sent to Wash
ington by the citizens of Ohio. And now
he must be retired by these same people.
Il
VNHE STATE CIO Convention is held at
most opportune time. 1t is the begin
ming of the year. An important year. We
have a tremendous job ahead of us. There
fore, 1t is we'll that we start early. The
defeat of Taft will not be simple job.
Enormous sums of money will be spent by
the Taft forces. Big Business, whom Taft
has served so we'll and so ably for so many
years now, is out to return to Washington
its ablest representative there Money will
flow into Ohio from all over the nation.
It is safe bet that more money will be
spent by Taft and his campaigners in this
fight than in any other similar campaign
in the past,
All the more reason, therefore, why
Organized Labor-and especially the CIO
and PAC-Should grid itself similarly to
exert its energies in an unprecedented
fashion. 1t shouldn't be too difficult for us
to make our people understand to what
degree Taft Is responsible for their hard
ships both within and outside their un-
ions. Any union member must have real
lied long ago that the sole purpose of the
infamous Taft-Hartley Act is to make real
unionism impossible Taft and his gang
Is out to smash the legitimate labor move
ment. They are out to use court injunc-
tions, and through that the power of the
state to smash strikes and unions
But that is only one side of Taft's pro-
gram. The other is his continuous fight
for higher profits for corporations. After
all it was Taft and his buddieS who killed
the OPA right after the war. Since the
death of OPA, as everyone knows, prices
have Just about doubled. What wage cut
that was for the working people!
IVES, THE RECORD seems endless. Taft
II has used his time in the Congress we'll
for Big Business. Never for the COM
mon people. And especially not for those
who belong to trade unions. With such
record behind him, il should be an ABB
SOLUTE MUST for every worker, for ev-
cry union member and for all common
people in Ohio to dump Taft back to Gin
cinnati to resume his private existence.
In this fight the CIO in Ohio must
