Those Lily White Hands

The NAM and its propaganda agencies again
ing their lily white hands in agony. The reason? Because
of the large American Unions are making signs like
cooperation and offering to help finance each other
in times of trouble the NAM boys yepng about mon
opostic labor Says of the big fellows Just think
what would happen if the employers joined hands to fight
Labor"
Uhuh just think about it. Well, lot of big employers
have done just that time and again What is the NAM any
way but organization of abohatng employers who put
up heavy money purchase congressman and promote such
legislation the Taft-Hartley Act?
What's going to happen to the country if the Unions get
together and practice real cooperaton What's going to
happen for instance if all Union people refuse to buy
Union products if they demand the Shop Card and the
Label? Why, this will become much greater and better
country that's ALL Working people will enjoy wage increases
and improved living standards. There will be Jobs,
more business and more profits. America will take ire
mendous forward step.
Nothing could possibly happen of greater benefit to
country than complete Union organization and Union loyalty
We in American Labor not moving toward socialism,
prefer private enterprise American working people will only
be driven into sociasc pathways if the bosses Of big bus
ness the NAM and their agents crush Labor with bad laws.
Then it can happen here in England
Somehow, when think back the rough days of
Labor when recall the Cripple Creek Massacre and many
many Others forced to wonder if there isn't still
bit of blood remaining those lily white hands being
wrung woefuly by big business

Senator Long Exposes "GYp"

Senator Taft is busy explaining to his constituents why
voted against the cooperative feature of the
tions housing BILL This proposal provided Tor government
loans cooperatves 1t would have enabled groups OF Am
ercans to construct their homes without paying tribute
to realtors and contractors.
The Real Estate Lobby was dead set against it and of
course Senator Taft voted with the Lobby However In ms
exclamation he doesn't anything about the Lobby He
would prefer to keep that from his Ohio constituents
Instead of making frank confession the senator says ne
likes he general idea of cooperatves, but he doesn't be-
leve in government loans to any group
AS matter of fact Uncle Sam has been lending to all
kinds of groups for than 25 years It's only when
government loan will reduce the cost of mans home that
Senator Taft begins be troubled about the principle OF
the thing"
The senator praised F. H. A. loans The government
guarantees those loans to 80 per cent Senator Taft has
no objection that The Real Estate Lobby is very much
favor of it, because it has enabled realtors to make fab
ulous profits. -
Senator Russell Long told the story the floor of the
SenateuSt before Senator Taft voted with the Real rs
tate Lobby to strike the coop feature Perhaps Senator
Taft wasn't listening Perhaps he didn't want to listen lie
had made his mind to along with the Real Estate
Lobby why should he listen to the other side Of the story!
Young Senator Long pointed out that while Uncle sam was
supposed guarantee only 80 per cent of the cost of pro-
ect the realtors and builders gyppng him in shame
less fashion. ~ ,
"Thats why rents have been skyhigh in the F. II. A.
projects said the Senator 1t is very smooth scheme as
he described it. First the eatOr organized land company
purchased the land Then he sold the land to his build
ing company at sharp advance After that he awarded the
contract for building the houses to his construction
firm.
Many of these Spectators have confided me- said
Senator Long, that where the government guaranteed 80
per cent of the estimated cost of the building of f. H. A.
rental housing projects they built them for 70 cents on the
dollar poceed 20 cents the dollar with the Federal gov
ernment guaranteeing the entire loan.
IF and when to the cleaners with these
unsound guarantees the United States government will be
the one that will take the cleaning.

A Tale Of Two Judges

A contrast between two judges provides flood for
thought"
In New York. Federal Judge Medina, despite extreme
provocation from lawyers for IL top communists patiently
gave the "Reds fair trial jury convicted them of con
spring to overthrow the government by violence
An anti-communst organization decided to pay tribute
to Medina by inviting him to be its guest of honor at dim
The Judge declined the ground that he woud ap
pear to be taking sides in matter tried before and
pending appeal Medina said he wanted to avoid the
slightest reflection the integrity of the courts"
On the day. at Cleveland, Federal Judge Jones
talked group of newly naturazed citizens Instead of
trying to inspire them with the history and ideals of
country he gave them bitter TRADE against labor unions
and against the right to strike"
Could union its members get fair trial in Jones'
court communists could get in Mednas? If
judges like jones' and fewer like Medina how long
would the American people keep their faith in the impartial
ty of the courts?
