Letters to The Star

lords. I am convinced they would stand
firm for the Constitution.
All thinking citizens know that justice
and our courts are on the side Of the
steel-workers and that justice shall pre-
vail for the property owners as well as
the employees. It seems to me that en-
ployes Of both public and private organi-
cations have enough common sense to
realize that every time they get raise
the product they produce must also be
raised in price and that the burden in
tax raise falls upon them individually
as well as upon the backs of every other
taxpayer. Think this over, employees, and
don't be so eager to listen to the union
bosses who feed you lying propaganda.

I hope all these outstanding citizens
now on strike in the steel and oil indus
tries will say prayer each night while
they are on Strike) for the boys in uni
form In Korea and other parts of the
world. Because these boys (many their
sons) IN the Army, Navy, Marines and
AIR Force cannot 60 on strike. They just
receive an order and it is their duty
to go.
so all the people in industry who feel
SO underpaid, be sure to offer a sincere
prayer for the boys in the service. They
Will need prayers when their equip
ment and supplies do not come through
IN the quantity they need to do their
job.

To Representative Schaeffer, an acco-
lade for his bill of particulars against
Harry Truman. His stand is commend
able and all those who fail to rally to
the support of the Constitution are sus-
pect. The very spirit of the Constitu-
ton. as stated in the preamble, has been
violated by Truman. The President is
but creature of the Constitution. One
of the fallacies that the press has fos-
tered in this country is that of thinking
OF the Presidency as the Government.
He is but one-third Of the Government.
He is like the Constitutions right arm.
The courts are its voice and Congress it's
valet, its Man Friday. That is the
way think of it, at least. No one divi-
sion is more important than another.
II the voice OF the Constitution should
be silenced in any manner, made in
articulate by intimidation or bribery or
persuaded to perversity, then it shall de-
volve on Congress alone to set matters
to rights. Should Congress fail, then
the Constitution becomes mockery and
a mountebank becomes hero.
A few days ago in your paper, I saw
cartoon of be-togaed Truman say
ing to Jimmy Byrnes "Et tn Brute?"
and it occurred to me, how in keeping
with Truman's perverse character. For
II the Constitution truly had voice, its
comment would be "Et tn Harry?"

Let me explain that am working
man, employed by International Har-
vester Co., and our shop has recently
been unsuccessfully solicited for union
membership &-
would like to pose one question to
all union leaders and also all union
members. That question is. What does
the union do with all the money it col
lects monthly from its members?"
If the hearts of union leaders bleed
for the poor, underpaid, underpriviliged
steel workers, why do they not use some
of the 3yast fortune they have assessed
as dues from the workers to build steel
mill, produce steel for sale at the prices
they are saying the companies should sell
! theirs for, while paying their employees
the wages they are demanding from the
present steel companies, and thereby put
the present cutthroat (as they would like
to have them called companies out of
business? After all, is not competition
the life of trade?
do not contend that the union is
wrong in saying that the steel companies
are able to grant these wage increases
without increasing steel prices. would
like for them to show the people of the
United States, how to do it,
Truman E. Bruch.
