labor since their party last
controlled the Government,
even though it should be so
apparent - the phenomenal
growth Of unionization, the Or
ganization for political action,
and. above all, the education
of working men and women in
the facts of economics and
government.
Men and women of labor to-
day are not easily misled by
gestures. It means nothing in
particular to them to have a
representative of organized
labor in the cabinet of a Pres
ident unless he can really rep
resent them, and that means
protection of the gains they
have made in recent years.
Martin Durkin, from his in
side seat, has seen those being
whitfield away. He saw no
reason to take it any longer.
At the cabinet table he
seemingly found warmth, but
no real understanding. The
story finally got out and into
union publications recently of
the source of opposition to his
aims. It turns out to have
been Vice President Nixon, who
never was regarded when he
was in Congress as a friend
of labor, and Secretary Of
Commerce Weeks, who is not
so regarded, either. They
seemed to be influential with
the President.

ing elections long after the
strike is called, just as if they
were still employees. Yet an
employer who decides to quit
a certain location and move his
factory to another area can
hardly do so under the present
law II the union objects.
6. Unions are to be exempted
from responsibility for acts of
sabotage against the employers
property or for any acts of
violence instigated by their
own members. Yet employers
are held legally responsible for
any acts committed by any of
their supervisors.
7. Unions are to have the
right through a weakening of

visions of the present law to
hurt the businesses of third
parties who have not been in
volved in the labor dispute.
8. Non Communist oaths by
union officers as provided under
the present law would be
eliminated. Failure of the
Truman administration to
prosecute union officials who
perjured themselves in false
affidavits is being confused
with alleged "ineffectiveness"
of the affidavit provision. This
oath requirement should, of
course. be applied to employers
as well as unions.
These are only a few of the
delicate points involved and
the more the issue Is brought
out in the open the better it
will be for the workers who
have no spokesmen nowadays
as against the tyrannies of
autocratic control where COM
pulsory unionization has been
introduced.

is said about the concrete

under existing law or about
the civil rights certain to be
lost II some Of the amend
mentS being demanded by the

Not all the proposed amend
mentS which Mr.. Durkin tried
to get accepted by the White
House are restrictive Of indi-
vidual liberty as there are
some Of relatively little conse-
quence included that are sup
posed to benefit employers.
The important restrictions
on the rights of individuals
which the labor unions want
can be stated as follows:
/. Management in certain
industries maritime, con-
Struction and amusement
would be deprived of the right
to hire whom they pleased.
Employees would be furnished
by a union monopoly to which
the worker and the public
generally would pay tribute.

have to discharge such en-

of the unions or become in

Labor union bosses have q
serious decision ahead Of
them. Are they going to try
to make something" out OF
the resignation Of Martin
Durkin as Secretary of Labor?
Will the radicals, and So
called liberals" In the Demo-
cratic Party try to exploit the
episode as their peppery re-
marks last week indicated?
Or will the labor-union STRAIT
egists strive in q conciliatory
spirit to get some Of their
amendments to the Taft
Hartley Act through Congress
with a minimum Of bitter feel
ing all around?
The decision is important
because the labor-union bosses
can not defend perSuaSively
in a major debate today sew
eral of the amendments they
seek. Such a debate would be
educational. For it would re-
veal to the American people
what so few citizens know
namely, that the greatest loss
of individual liberty suffered
in the last 20 years in the
American republic has re-
suited from the political infiu-
ence and authoritarian poll
cies of big unions.
One wonders when there
will be a revival of true liber-
alism in America so that an
individual may recover his
right to work and his freedom
to negotiate employment and
wages for himself. He was
deprived Of these civil liberties
under the Wagner Act and it
unfortunately continues to be
the case under the Taft
Hartley Act.
When, as is sanctioned by
the present law, a citizen is
not allowed to retain his job
unless he joins a union-even
though he may have con-
scientiouS objections to such
membership-the loss Of lib
erty is far greater than could
possibly be involved when a
congressional committee asks
a witness whether he is a
Communist. Yet in the hue

A. One of the best remedies is a
mixture of turpentine and bees
wax, the latter being melted into
the turpentine until the mixture is
as thick as syrup. Pour little of
this onto a piece of woolen cloth
and rub well into the scratched
parts of the furniture. Then polish

WATER PAY STATIONS RE-

in the monthly news letter of the
National Institute of Municipal
Clerks. At present there are nine
Sub-stations in operation. All are
in drug stores. Eight are in the
&ity and one is in ScottSdale. Drug
stores were preferred due to their
long operating hours. The pay sta
tions have helped solve the traffic
and parking problems of customers
located in suburban districts, who
prefer to pay their bills in person;
reduced customer traffic in the
water collections office in the City
Hail. and reduced the number of
delinquent accounts, since bills are
payable at more convenient loca-
tions after office hours. Four sta
tions were set up in January and
five in March. The cost of collec-
tion per account has dropped from
47c in January to Ale for May. AS
the pay stations increases their

that a further decrease in cost of
collections per water account will
be realized.
