LABOR VIEWS

c0nd after death.
No money, no stocks, no bonds
nor corporations can you take
with you All you have to take is
the record of your deeds and mis-
deeds.
So, ease off that hard black lGaJ
pencil and cold white paper III
figuring where and how to con
tinue to lay off more and more
workers, even if you have to use
the red pencil. Be willing to
tighten your belt as you have ask
ed your employees to do. For this
type of performance your rewards
usually come a hundred times
over.
Unfair labor practices by some
American businessmen in the Phil
ippines were pointed out by Rich
ard Deverall, A. f. of l.. repre-
sentatives in the Far East, as one
cause for the growing discomfort
in the labor field there, workers
earn only "a miserable pittance
You'd think these businessmen
would realize the damage such
unfair practices do to American
prestige in the Far East-not to
mention the unfairneSS done the
workers. Guess these businessmen
think like the man whose children
were busy driving nails into the
dining room table. When asked
if it isn't expensive to let child
rem play that way, he said, ooh
no, | get the nails wholesale"
Unemployment Compensation

unemployment compensation law
OF another state or OF the United
States or under the Servicemen's

Note: However, if you are recei-
wing payments from any of the
first four above named sources,
be sure to check to see if the
amount you are receiving from
these sources equals to as much
as you would normally receive
from unemployment compensa-
ton. If the amount you are re-
ceiving is less, then you may be
able to claim the difference in I'm
employment compensation bene-
fits.
GAM that serves labor serves
The nation. All that harms labor
is treason to America. No line can
be drawn between the two. If
any man tells you he loves Ameri-
"a yet hates labor, he is liar. If
any man tells you he trusts Ameri-
ca yet fears labor, he is fool.
There is no America without lab
Or"
Abraham Lincoln had this to say
about labor and this is a fine time
to quote him as Lincoln was born
on this date, February 18th. back
in 1909. He signed the Thirteenth
Amendment abolishing slavery in
the United States on February l,
1865.
Pine Box Six Feet DoWn!-Sen-
ator Nicely of w. Virginia who
campaigned for the repeal of Taft
Hartley, has favorite story to IL
lustrate what he thinks should be
done with the law.
1t is the story of man whose
mother-in-law lived with him for
many years and plagued him all
of that time. She died while he
was out of town and the under
taker sent him a wire reading:
"Your mother+in-law died last
night. Shall | embalm. cremate,
or bury her?"
The man replied, "Embalm,
cremate and bury her. Take no
chances"
That, says Neely, is what Con
gresS should do with Taft-Hartley.
A though to remember-It'S al
right to be FRANK and EARNEST
