| wish to state 81 do not and never
have" l supported those great Re-
publican Senators George w. Norris,
Robert LaFollett, Couzens, and Cut
ting. At the present time The AFL,
CLIO, Railroad Brotherhoods and
Independent unions are supporting
Republican Senator Morse of Oregon
in his reelection fight.
The Democrat party gave us So
cial Security, Direct election of Sena
tors, Labors Magma Charta, The Wag
ner Act, Bank Insurance. Their plat
form calls for more benefits for the
wage Garner and his family, includ
ing Federal Aid to Education (try and
send three children through college
on a salary for Health insurance.
| hold no brief for those Senators
who voted for the Kerr Gas bill, which
would have raised our gas rates q
remember OPA and the Republican
promises that prices would adjust
themselves They sure did
upward). If President Truman had
signed the bill | would have opposed
him as a candidate for President.
Because you have Democrats in
office, who do not vote for the in
terests of the common people, you do
not quit the party any more than you
quit your church because the minister,
does not meet with your approval
You get rid of him. That is what |
advocate for every Democrat and Re
publican holding office today, who
does not vote and work for the in
terests of the common people.
Marriage-a committee of two on
ways and means, one has her way the
other provides the means.
A coalition of Democrat and Re-
publican Senators are supporting two
bills to reduce government expendi-
lures. If you are government en-
ployee, you should enlist the aid of
your families and friends in remov-
ing these Senators from office.
These two bills are introduced with
the thought that our government
should not grant annual or sick leave
n excess of periods granted by pri-
rate employers.
Here are the bills:
First-Cut days from present an
lual 26 days vacation leave; days
rom Is days sick leave. Postal en-
'loyees who now have Is days vaca-
ion and 10 days sick leave would get
he same time as other federal en-
'loyees (why not raise their time to
IS days vacation and Is days sick
eave).
Second Bill-Fix vacations for all
'ovt. employees on length-of-service
asis. 10 days for less than three years
ervice, Is days for to 10 years
ervice and 20 days for more than 10
ears service. Sick leave would be
2 days for all federal employees.
All unions who have sick and vaca-
ion clauses in their contracts should
0 to the aid of government workers
fighting these two bills by voting
gainst every Republican and Demo
rat senator and representative who
oes not oppose these bills.
Register your family and friends
nd vote for those candidates in the
rmary, who are pledged to vote
u your interests and oppose those
ow in office who by their votes have
lpported Taft-Hartley Act, opposed
iddle income housing, rent control,
&c.
