OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY AT POWER PLANT

All Seward residents are in Vited to Open House at the Sew ard Electric System power plant on Seventh Avenue Sunday, May 25 from 2 to pm. Probably not more than out of , persons living here are familiar with the inside of power plant. They do not know how spic and span clean the rooms look, how the roar of engines dcafens the Vlsi- tor, how clocks and diaIS are watched for dcViations in power, etc. It is really worth while to make a visit while the oppor- tunIty IS given.
 Open House has been declared so the public can view the big new COOper-BeSSemer diesel gen erating equipment which will be put into the line Sunday. It is late model engine, with dry type radiator instead of the cVapoTatiVc cooling arrangement of the others.
 The new generator has 800 horse power, generating O 0 kW's. This practically doubles the power output in the Seward plant, making the total plant capacity approximately 1900 XIV $. During the past winter the maximum power used at peak periods was from $50 to 1000 XIV $. The coming year ;t..,! winter is estimated to run from 1900 to l3UU kW $ at peak. Al pres Tt lUU is the maximum of power used in town.
 The new plant extension in cluding the building addition cost the people of Seward about S200,000 Ii should be interest ing to tax payers and power users to see what they get for their money. No extra employees will be necessary to operate the enlarged plant. Seward Electric System employs nine, including the outside crew and office help
 Everything will be open for inspection Sunday with someone on hand to explain details o1 operation and costs. Mir. C. R Jones, who has installed the generator for the Cooper-Besse mer Company will be there also to discuss operation with in terestea visitors.

American Ldbor's Record
Is Inspiration Abroad

The part that American labor
Is playing in our international
affairs is an inspiration to less
fortunate working men and
women in many countries. The
status of American labor today
spells hope in lands where the
right to organize. the right to
bargain with employers, and
the right to achieve better con-
ditions are ignored or brutally
suppressed.
In the campaign of that year,
I was able to put the facts be-.
fore the people and they re-
sponded as I knew they would.
They gave their answer to this
attack upon the rights of labor
and upon the welfare and pros
perity of the average man.
AS my period of Office draws
to its conclusion, I take con-
siderable satisfaction in the
fights we have won and the
gains we have made. The cause
of the average citizen has not
been successful all along the
line. We have suffered certain
losses. but by and large we have
beaten back the main attacks
and we have made real progress.
Wages are good. employment is
high. and in spite of prices and
taxes. most of our people are
enjoying a standard of living
that is better than it ever was
in the past.

Future Depends Largely
On Results of Election

I do not know what things
will be like in the future, but
am sure that they will be
determined largely by the results
of the election this year. Some
of the special interests are al
ready grinding their axes for a
fresh attack on labor in the
event of a Republican victory.
I do not know whether you read
the Wall Street Journal, but I
have seen indications in it lately

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE
tert OF President Trun,Gn's
message yesterday to the Amer
ican Federation OF Labor cont
Dention, addressed to President
William Green toltops::
Dear MIR. Green:
This is the last time it will be
my privilege. as President of the
United States, to send a message
to the convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
wish I could speak to you
and to the delegates in person.
and tell you face to face some
of the things that are in my
heart and mind as I near the
end of my administration. How
ever, my work is just as heavy
as it ever was. In fact, I think
I have been buster since I stated
my decision not to run again
than I was before. Under these
circumstances. know you will
forgive me for not being with
you in New York today.
AS the end of my term draws
near, I have been thinking back
over the struggles and ac-
complishments of the past seven
years. The American Federation
of Labor has been a staunch
partner in the programs we have
worked for since I became Presi-
dent. am proud OF the advances
we have made at home, and the
efforts we have carried on
throughout the world to bring
about a real peace-to create
the kind of world in which men
and women everywhere can live
= free and hopeful lives.
Labor has helped at every
step of the way. Representatives
of organized labor not only hold
positions of trust in the execu-
tive departments and in the de-
fense agencies. but they are
helping to make and carry out
our policies of international CO.
operation. The leaders of or
ganized labor have made a great
contribution to the success of
such programs as the Economic
Cooperation Administration
and the Mutual Security Ad-
ministration. Their participa-
ton has earned the gratitude Of
our Nation and the respect of
labor in many foreign lands. I
am sure, moreover, that our
Point Four program cannot sue
ceed without the skills, the zeal
and the vision of the labor rep
resentativeS who are now taking
part in our technical assistance
projects in underdeveloped
areas.

Trumun's Message to AFL

that plans are afoot In Wall
Street to make the Taft Hartley
Law even more oppressive and
unfair than 1t is at present.
Not all Republicans are pos
sessed by a hostility to labor,
but it appears that the Repub-
lican candidate has now made
his peace with the author Of
the Taft-Hartley Law. Appar-
emily his conduct will not be
out of line with the Republican
platform. which, in my opinion,
is the most anti labor platform
they have submitted to the
country in at least is years.
In the 81st Congress, where
the Democratic majority was
substantial, I had enough sup
port to secure the passage of
laws which improved and
strengthened our national hous-
ing program, our social security
program and our wage and hour
laws. There were almost but
not quite enough liberal Demo-
Gratis to secure the repeal of
the Taft-Hartley law. While
we did not succeed in that re-
spect. the general record of the
81st Congress was heartening.
In the 82nd Congress, how
ever. where the Democratic ma
jority was reduced to a narrow
margin, the assault on labor was
renewed. The most important
part of the battle in the 82nd
Congress was waged over infla-
ton controls. Time and again
the special interests. abetted by
the Republican leaders. tried
to repeal and destroy price con-
trolls and rent controls, which
are so important, not only to
labor, but also to every person
who lives on a moderate sal
ary or a fixed income. These
assaults had the effect of weak
ening our controls, but they
were not able to overthrow and
destroy them completely. On the
credit side, we also got some
improvement in our social Sc
curity laws, in spite Of Repub-
lican opposition.
Labor is important in this
country because it is one of the
major groups that goes to make
up our national strength and
well being. Business and agri-
culture are equally important.
Over the last 20 years we have
developed programs fair to these
three great groups, which have
provided an increasing national
income for the benefit of every
American citizen. There is still
a lot to do. there are still peo-
pie in this country who suffer
under poor living conditions and
poor housing. There are still
people who do not have a chance
for a decent education. Proper
medical care Is still beyond the
reach Of too many of our peo-
pie. Too many also face dis
elimination because of race.
creed or color. These are con-
ditions that must be changed.
They are conditions that can be
changed and that will be
changed If we continue on the
course of progress which we have
been following over the last 20
years.
regard the coming election
as crucial. not only to the fu-
ture of organized labor and the
prosperity of the average man
in the country. but also for our
chances of world peace and the
continuance of our world Lead
ership. That is why am going
to go around the country, cam
paigning for : the election of
Gov. Stevenson and Senator
Sparkman and for a real DEM
ocratic Congress.

Western Union and the CONNER.
cial Telegraphers' Union (AFL)
have broken down and strike bal.
lots will be mailed to 10000
photographers throughout the Ma.
tion within 10 days, union sources
said today.
Adolph Brungs, chairman of the
unions National Bargaining Com.
mittee, said negotiations were
broken off Tuesday when the COM
pany refused to make any con-
tract changes which would result
in increased operating costs"
The move came as a surprise to
Western Union officials in New
York, who, when informed by The
Star of the unions action, hao
no immediate comment. They
added. however, that a statement
may be made later.
Announcement of the decision
ito seek a strike vote was made by
telegram to presidents of Local
unions throughout the country
outside of New York City. Teleg-
raphers in New York operate un-
der a separate contract.
The union has been seeking re-
visions in the contract, including
"a 40-hour week with 48 hours
pay, a wage increase amounting
to 16 cents an hour, and changes
in the pension plan.
A Western Union strike was
averted last year when employees
voted to accept a company offer
of a 17-cent-an- -hour wage In

any such attitude of arrogance
and arbitrariness will be cate
gorically rejected by our side."
Futher Debate Futile.
