Statement

/ should like to express my
thanks individually to each of
the more than $4,000 persons
who voted for me in the cleo
ton. l am grateful for their
support.
Many of them, / am sure,
were voting on the issues, hav-
ing attended one or another of
the many meetings around To-
ledo at which l spoke. Only
those to whom l had a chance
to talk ever did find that there
were any issues in this cam
paign, for the daily press re-
Trained from discussing them.
1t is a source of deep salts
faction to me to know that had
a chance to serve my district
and my fellow citizens in Con-
gress for two years. 1t is an
honor of which i am proud, and
one which should not be be-
slowed lightly or in a fit of
pique upon unscrupulous OPP
portunists.
The trend in the nation seems
to have been the same as oc-
Cured 1946, when millions of
voters stayed home and let the
philosophy of reaction and serv-
ice to the special interests take
over.
/ hope the damage done to
progress and liberal develop
ment during the next two years
will not be beyond the power of
voters to repair when they dis
cover what has been done.

clared, have been wiped out re-

Further, he cautioned, mine
owners should prepare for a de-

Mr.. Ramsey said his work
now is chiefly that of meeting

sincerity, its acceptance of its
social responsibilities, and its eff
forts TO benefit the lives, wages,
health and working conditions
of not only its members but of
the community in general.
Briefly reviewing his own
background in unionism, the
speaker recalled his days as a
steelworkers in Bethlehem, and
one instance in which his fac
tory superintendent had threat
ened him with confinement in
an insane asylum unless he
ceased his organizing activity.
An experiment in bringing
about mutual understanding in
Columbus, o., provided an in
teresting case history for the TU
students during round table
discussion which followed Mr..
Ramsey's principal address dur
ing morning convocation.
Ten especially active antagon-
lists of the CIO, and ten CIO
leaders, responded to a luncheon
invitation, said the speaker, and
agreed to voice and discuss their
opposition to one another. The
experiment worked, Mr.. Ram
sey reported, so successfully
that the luncheons are still be-
ing held.
In response to a student ques-
ton as to sparse attendance at
union meetings, the speaker ex-
planned that on the average
fewer than ten per cent of work

ing part in the unions to which
they belong.
