Life Is a Fight

Life Is a Fight
THE TRUTH of the business Is
= that life, when a man takes 1t
seriously, Is a fight. Il Is a war
between your best and your worst
self. Your two other-selves are there
every moment, like ghosts, or rath-
er like a bright angel and a dark
one.
II is always possible to be-
come q better man than you
are; also, alas. II is possible TO
become far worse than you are
No man stays the same through
life. He Is continually pressing
upward, or plunging downward,
or varying between the two.
There has been only one person,
Christians believe, who actual
ly fulfilled all the good that was
possible for him. The possibill-
ties for evil In his life remained
only possibilities-he never let
them come to pass.
The possibilities for good. on the
other hand. became real. His dark
angel remained only a ghost; his
good angel was simply his real
self. AT no point in his life was he
forced to say to himself. II wish !
had ! wish | had not And
yet. even for him life was strug-
gle. We do not believe he sinned.
We do believe he was tempted. and
II the temptation was real, then he
could have sinned. No man can be
really tempted TO do what he can
not do. Yes, the Master had his
fight. But the point is: he won.
The Way to Win
CHRISTIANS are not exempt In
~ this war Of good against evil
We are not carried 10 the skies or
Howery beds OF ease" any more
than Jesus was. We do not drift into
the Promised Land. We have &
fight our way uphill.
Yet Christians are expected TO
win. That Is. God stands beside
each Christian In his fight. and
God's power Is for the Chris
tian's use. As Saint Paul says,
with each temptation God pro-
vides . way Of escape" Our
prayer Lead us not Into temp
tation" can always be answered.
Sometimes II can be answered
by ourselves. That Is, we can
not leave the fight to God.
But we can win as Jesus won
sometimes by standing and doini
battle where we are. sometime;
simply by leaving temptation be
hind. For often the best thing t
be done is to retreat Get as far a

dangerous Communists in the US
at a moments notice. Testifying
before the Senate Appropriations

possesses a complete list of US

The FBI head came to the Com

keep track of Communists. AL
though the hearing was closed, one
Senator who was present declared
Hoover wanted "to put them to bed
at night and get them up in the

Communists are going into hid

revealed the Commies have estab-

So many tales of suspected Red

Acheson Insists
Marshall Plan Aid
Reaches Workers

Washington (LPA) = Secretary
of State Dean Acheson denied that
European labor has failed to bene-
fit from Marshall Plan aid.
At Sept. 6 press conference
Acheson said that in a number OF
countries it might be true that
some workers haven't received as
many benefits as the whole popu-
lation. Also, he admitted, farmers
may have benefited more than
white collar workers.
However, the Secretary of State
insisted, the great progress in
Europe under the Marshall Plan
has helped everyone in the bene-
ficiary countries. Acheson said he
hadn't heard of reports by Ameri-
can labor leaders that Marshall
Plan assistance hasn't reached Eu-
ropean workers.
Reporters questions were based
on statements made by two labor
delegations which returned from
Europe in mid-August. Both groups
reported bad morale among Eu-
ropean workers because of low
wages and high profits.
One group consisting of Pres
ident j. William Belanger of the
Massachusetts CIO, Vice president
Carmen Lucia of the Textile Work
ers-CIO and Secretary Treasurer
Harold Gibbons of st. Louis Teams
ter Local 688-AFL said there must
be drastic and immediate changes
in the administration of the Mar
shall Plan in France. The workers
weren't getting enough buying
power, they declared.
A delegation sent by the United
Auto Workers-CIO headed by UAW
Vice-President John w. Livingston
said changes were required in|
France, Italy and Western Ger
many because Marshall Plan money
was going into profits, not wages.
The UAW feared new waves of
Communism.

Lively Discussion
On Apprentices AT

ing with the main topic of discuss
ion centering on the apprentice
question. Following a report that
four apprentices were starting al
the Hall China Co., several took the
floor and announced there were
journeymen kilnhands unemployed
and should be given jobs before
any new apprentices are put on.
One of the oldest services Of the
N. b. of o. P. is to register your
name and address at the national
office if you are unemployed. This
enables headquarters to furnish
tradesmen In the various crafts
when they are requested by the
manufacturers.
Section 247 of our constitution
provides you must register every
80 days while unemployed, or your
name will be dropped from the un-
employed list.
Every member is urged to keep
this in mind and live up to the con-
stitution, if you expect to get job
and keep our trade from being
over-maned.
All unemployed .kilnmen are re-
quested to attend the next meet

End Profifeering
Urues Amvefs

Cleveland (LPA) - Five thous-
and delegates to the sixth annual
convention of Amvets heard Ma
tional Commander Harold Russell
declare in his keynote speech that
"profiteering especially must be
outlawed to the end that manage
ment and labor may work in har-
mony, shoulder to shoulder toward
a common goal"
Russell, who lost both hands in
World War ii, urged Amvets to
oppose every effort to exploit the
present struggle for freedom with
a policy of business-as-usual and
profits-as-usual."
"Hog-tie the Communists by
every legal MEANS" Russell said,
"but avoid the hysteria which will
give the extreme right-wingers an
opportunity to inflict upon US a
police state whose existence must
be equally abhorrent to all free
men,"
Meanwhile, Russell warned, AM
vets would be wise to "forego for
the present" any further demands
for bonuses or pensions until the
fighting is over.

SteeIworkers Ask
certification AT
Weirton Steel Go.

Pittsburgh (LPA)-A new chap
ter in a 13-year-old story was
started here Sept. 6. United Steel
workers asked the NLRB to certify
it as bargaining agent for employees
of the Weirton Steel Co., Weirton,
w. Va.
Behind the request was long
history of violence and the COM
pany's defiance of the US courts.
The stage was set for the request
in August when Weirton, after be-
| ing found guilty of contempt of
court, finally dropped recognition
of the Weirton Independent Union,
a company union by definition of
the NLRB.
Way back in 1887 Weirton was
brought before the board for unfair
labor practices. 1t was ordered to
stop recognizing the independent
union as bargaining agent. Weir
ton failed to comply and for more
than 13 years the case dragged
through the courts. Throughout,
the company was repeatedly charg
ed with anti-labor activities. In
1914 it waged such violence against
United Steelworkers that martial
law was declared in Weirton.
The Weirton case was cited as
pointing up the lack of adequate
enforcement machinery against un-
fair labor practices by employers
in both the original National Labor
Relations act and the Taft-Hartley
act.
The petition sent to NLRB by|
the Steelworkers last week claimed
that the CIO union now represents
a majority of the Weirton workers
and asked for "early meetings
with the company to negotiate al
contract.
Paul Rusen, director of Steel-l
workers district %, wrote the COM
pany's president, Tom Millsop,I
seeking a bargaining session. TheI
Weirton Independent Union is also
that it represents a maj
ority of the members.

Prejudice Costing
Billions Annually,
Urban League Told

Grand Rapids, Mich. (LPA)-
Prejudice and intolerance. costing
the American people billions OF
dollars annually, is a fearful drain
on our national budget and a fear
full strain on our national vigor.
Dwight R. G. Palmer, president
of the General Cable Corporation
so declared at the 10th anniversary
conference here of the National
Urban League. Palmer, a member
of the Presidents Committee on
Equality of Treatment and Oppor-
tunity in the Armed Services, said
the companies which have opened
wide their doors to jobseekers, and
thereafter to promotion on sheer
merit without reference to race or
creed, enjoy a distinct advantage
over competitors still hamstrung
by prejudice"
Jacob S. Potofsky, president of
the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers, said economic equality for
racial minorities would destroy the
basis for discrimination and named
full employment as one of the
strongest weapons against discrim-
ination. "In periods of relative
prosperity, the union leader said,
"the peddlers of race hatred are
without many followers. Mass un-
employment invariably hits the
Negro first, and brings with it all
the hateful manifestations of fear,
bigotry and race hatred. The trust

!. half OF the employees and arrang-
ed a meeting.
After many sessions with COM
pany officials, the firm finally
agreed to follow the latest pattern
and granted a 10-cent hourly in
crease across the board for all
employees of Universal-R d e
Corporation.
Following the signing of the
contract, a meeting was held on
the plant for employees working
on the various shifts, informing
them of the wage increase. Need
less to say all were very happy
and loud in their praise for mem
bers of the locals wage committee
comprising Bros. Charles Kirk
wood, Philip DeRobbio, James
Million, Joe Canaricci, Edward
Huff and George Fenati. This COM
mittee headed by President James
NJ. Duffy who acted as Brother
hood spokesman, deserve credit
from the members Of Local Union
1873 for the time and effort they
spent in bringing about the wage
increase. The intense n tie rest
shown by this committee for the
welfare of their brother trades
men was borne out in their request
that the same increase be granted
to members Of Local Unions so and
214, comprising employees of the
company's other two plants in
Camden and Redlands. This added
increase in the pay envelope will
help to meet the increase in the
cost of living.
Credit is also due company Of
ficials who at all times have shown
a willingness to meet with their
employees at the bargaining table.
This friendly spirit of laborman-
agement relationship prevailed Il
throughout negotiations of the
new contract, and has been such
ever since Mr.. Albert Knecht be-
came manager.
Representing the firm in draw
ing up the new contract were
Clyde NJ. Whitaker, president;
George Crawford, Floyd Fennell,
Danny Carroll, Albert Knecht and
Lew Nelson.

Seno+or Humphrey Tokes off On
Readers Digest: Demands Probe

Washington (LPA)-The Read
er's Digest came in for rough go
ing over from Sen. Hubert Hump
hrey Cd, Minn.) Sept. 7.
The Digest masks a reactionary
viewpoint by claiming to present
Ma sampling of the objective, pure
truth" and is not
above misrepresenting the facts to
influence public thinking, Hump
hrey charged on the floor of the
Senate.
The Minnesota liberal said he
joined Sen. Wayne Morse Or, Ore }
in urging an investigation of the
Digest by the House Select Com
mittee on Lobbying Activities.
Morse demanded that the widely
circulated magazine be probed in a
blistering speech delivered in the
Senate Aug. 16.
Humphrey read into the record
correspondence between himself
and Digest editor Dewitt Wallace
last spring. The correspondence
Rhowed that the Digest didn't mind
Inisrepresenting facts and had no
desire to correct misrepresentation
unless circulation could be increas-
ed by doing SO, Humphrey said.
What started the exchange of
letters was a Readers Digest con-
densation of John T. Flynn's book
"The Road Ahead, which appear
ed in the magazine last February.
The Flynn article contained mis-
leading and untrue statements as
sociating Americans for Democra-
tic Action, a leading liberal organ
ization, with Communism, Hump
hrey declared. The Senator was ma
tional chairman of ADA when the
article appeared and is national
yice-chairman now.

blessings of life will trickle down
to those at the bottom" Lucas
said that he will fight anyone who
tries to apply that theory to war
profits.
w. Stuart Symington, chairman
of the National Security Resources
Board, told the annual LLPE din
ner in the same city that ''if Korea
has taught US anything, it is that
the peace-loving democracies cam
not afford to wait for additional
aggression before mobilizing to
meet that aggression. We must
build now a defense sufficient to
enforce with our allies, those de-
cisions of the United Nations made
in the interest of world peace"
In New York, Federal Security
Administrator Oscar Ewing spoke
of the lies spread by Communist
propa gand d lists throughout the
world. Workers in this country are
better off than in Russia, he point
ed out, and spreading this truth
is our greatest weapon in the
struggle dominating the world to-
day.
At the seventh annual Labor Day

Rev. John P. Monaghan, national
