COUNTING BLESSINGS
BY Harry Gersh

- ''''J ~N'o'
l used to know a fighter who wouldn't have won the
championship even if he had won all his fights. This state
ment may sound odd, but it's true,
Lefty was a great student of the game and of his OPP
ponents. He studied the form, punches, blocking, stance and
aggressive spirit of every man in his division. Trouble was
that he never gave enough attention to his own ability TO
absorb punishment and deal out better. So by the time he
entered the ring he had himself licked. He retired from box
ing and made a fortune in the stock market,
| was reminded of Lefty by some remarks l heard the
other day by a guy who wants us to take a more positive
view of things, Also, it being the end of the year, it's
time to count blessings rather than curses.
After listening to 2,173 speeches by labor leaders of all
echelons, and reading 1869 issues of 1873 labor papers, |
came to the conclusion that the labor movement is a ghost
that died in 1920, or 1929, or 1898, or 1912, or l94S, or 1852.
Either that, or the editors are taking lessons from Lefty.
Without recourse to Galop, Roper, or any other guy
with a pencil, l have an idea that there are more people for
us than agin US. And we are neither enslaved, busted, driven
or about to be shackled to our machines. For every Taft,
Mccarthy, McCarran, Hoffman, Vede, Gill in the name
Douglas, Javits, Boiling, Gill in the name of your
own favorite).
1t doesn't show on the votes in Congress? No, it doesn't.
And perhaps that's partly our fault Like Lefty, we spend
so much time worrying about the opposition we haven't
enough left to encourage our allies. Those speeches and labor
press stories add up to thousands of headlines about our en-
emies. Somewhere at the bottom there's a footnote about
our friends.
With a new year upon us maybe we have room for an
other resolution. For every diatribe against Mccarthy let's
have a commentator for Lehman. For every black headline
about antilabor legislation let's have a banner for Humphrey,
1t might spread. We might even convince ourselves and get
to walking around like winners instead of doWntrodden VIC
tins. taLhHink

AN AGENDA FOR 1854
BY George Silver
-pe@

Cy SEOfTc ohscf
Another year has come to an end, All in all it wasn't
so bad. In fact, my folks and I just celebrated Thanksgiving
and we were grateful for many, many things. And yet I re
call that | was often nervous at the state of the world. Many
a time | wished things had turned out differently; you and
would be better off today if they had.
But | am no dreamer. Nothing ever came to me without
working and fighting for it, without looking ahead, think
ing and planning for a better tomorrow. l know can't do
il by myself; but | also know that the others who want the
same things l do will succeed only if l do my part. AS a mat
ter of fact, I've prepared a calendar for myself-my own
personal agenda for 1954-and at this time, I'm planning to
have another buzz session with myself so that can give
myself a rating.
In case you'd like to check up on me this year, this is
what I'm aiming to do:
As a union man I'll do everything in my power to re-
move the threat of the Taft-Iartey law which is held like
an ak over the working man and his union. I will build my
union, take part in its activities, help in its various projects
social, civic and political.
As the bread winner in my home / will fight against
higher prices, against taxes that burden the little man,
against any attempt to weaken the social security system
the only insurance that I can afford for myself and my fam
lily.
As the head of my family I will defend our great public
school system against attack and try to improve it. I will
light for a health insurance system for myself and my family
that will cover our needs; for safety regulations and ade-
.ouate compensation laws; for pure food and drug laws; for
decent housing for all people.
As a citizen in my community | will register and vote
in every election. So will the rest of my family, All OF us VIII
FIGHT against corruption, crime and racketeering, We Will
make our community the best in the country where all peo-
pie, whatever their creed, race or ancestry have equal rights
to a decent Job, to a good home, to recreation ana services
As a citizen of my country will do all can TO seno
the best men and women we have to represent US IN, WASH

SHARE YOUR WISDOM
BY DR.. Thomas r. Gaines

The following incident happened at a street crossing of
d very busy eastern city. a man stood helpessly on the side
walk damned with people. He seemed to be in the way of
many of the pedestrians, People growled at him for not
moving TO one side as he blocked their passage. Finally he
lifted his white cane in the air for all to see, Then they
knew he was not responsible for his seeming reconsideration.
He was blind.
Before we condemn, before we close our minds on any
subject, how profitable it is to be certain to know all the
questions and answers involved in any affair.

No Change Reported In Strike Status

No change in the status of the week-old walk out at Koslosky's Department store was reported today, with the picket line is be- ing containued. A week ago to- day eight clerks staged a walk out at the local department store when agreement to contract terms between the Retail Clerks Union 1496 and Kosloskys failed to ma- terialize.
 Pearl Gibson, union agent who is representing the workers, said this week that the workers are asking for scale pay, plus fringe benefits. Jan Koslosky stated last week that the store is unable to meet both the scale pay and the fringe benefits. The benefits would include paid vacations, sick leave, premium pay, and double time for holiday work.
 Waldo Thompson, secretary treasurer of local 628 of the Am algamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North Am erica, was in Palmer on Wednes- day of this week at the request of union employees in the Koslos- ky meat department who had asked for representation.
