No Dull Moments

THERE need be no dul moment this Fall
! and Winter for those Of our Lodges and
or Committees interested in keeping their
ranks actively engaged.
For those sincerely interested in pro-
noting interest in the Organization, the So
ciety has available for screening a fifty-five
minute, sound, technicolor film entitled
This Is Your Croatian Fraternal Union!"
This is a 16mm production depicting the
various facets of the Society and what it
means to those affiliated with it.
Others who are inclined to showing their
talent in public have a number of popular
dramatic plays, in either the Croatian or
English languages, from which to choose
and enact together with their fellow Lodge
or Junior Nest members. Copies of these
may be obtained in mimeographed form for
every member of the cast.
These are but two of the activity ave-
nues open to all members of the Croatian
Fraternal Union, avenues which lead to the
hub from whence springs national interest
in the Society's annual bowling Journeys,
kolo and singing festivals, etc.
That promoting activity is the
purpose of the Sports-Educational Depart
ment and our Lodges and Nests should take
advantage of its standing services.
For information pertaining to these SER
vices, we respectfully request that our
Lodge and Nest Officials write to bro.
Frank Braidic, Sports Educational Direc-
tor, 3441 Forbes Street, Pittsburgh 10. Pa,
who will gladly cooperate with those desi-
rous of activating their members.
AS we said, there is no valid reason for
any American or Canadian Lodge or Nest
of the Croatian Fraternal Union to wallow
in the mire of inactivity. But wallow they
will if they depend on the other fellow to
carry the whole load.
That need not happen where there is a
will to work in fraternal unity.

Youngstown "Vindicator"
august IL, 1854, EditoriaD

Youngstowners and their

widely differing fields of
sport as a list of all-time foot
ball stars includes the names,
of Fesler and SinkWich, and
the Little Leaguers of
Youngstown Eastern win the
1854 state championship.
Years ago sports followers

the football exploits of Wes-
ley Fesler and Frank Sink

pride in being their home

once more, and the city gains
added publicity, as their
names are chosen among 40

Etna's Dilemma

CHED a tear for the members of our Etna,
- Pa, Guardian Anger Lodge 4. They
are about to lose their Croatian Home!
No, it isn't a matter of a long overdue
mortgage. Perish the thought. It's simply
that the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
has condemned the Home and property to
make way for a new highway which will
eliminate Etna's worst traffic b%ottleneck.
While 80 what!' may be the rejoinder
from those living in other parts of the Uni
ted States, our Etna members dread the
day now at hand - when their Croatian
Home will bow to progress.
4 4
Parting with their Home will not be
such sweet sorrow for those of our Etna
members who recall when the imposing edi-
flee was opened to the public in 1918.
Those thirty-six years nave seen many
things come to pass within the walls of the
Home at 10 Bridge Street, everything
from weddings, dances, b%anquets, and the
festive like, to angry words exchanged at
anything but routine monthly Lodge meet
ings born Of controversial issues.
But through thick and thin, through
good and bad, through wars, recessions and
depressions, our Lodge 4 members carried
on and maintained a Croatian Home which
has been an asset to the community of Etna
since it first opened So years ago.
Progress. being anything but static, fate
has decreed that this Home must 60. All of
which leaves our Etna Lodge 4 members
in the throes of a dilemma.
Shall they live with their memories of
the old Croatian Home? Or shall they go
about the business of building a new Home,
one with such co%nveniences as bowling al
leys, air conditioning, etc, and forget that
they ever erected one in 1918?
We trust they will subscribe to the lat
ter course if at all possible.

All told, there are $3.50
adult and 1850 juvenile men,
bers of the Croatian Frater-
nal Union in b er County,
or 1910 men, women and
children strong.
Few, if any, areas of SINH
lar size can point to a larger
membership than the one ~e-
siding in this Western Penn
sylvania sector 80 miles re-
moved from Pittsburgh.
Proposal Is Applauded
Bro Brkich further recon-
mended that a meeting for the
purpose of discussing the pro-
posed Beaver County Fedora
ton of GU Lodges and Nests
be held as soon as possible
after letters calling attention
to same are in the hands of
all concerned.
The recommendation was
applauded by the crowd, par
ticularly those who are at
present serving their Lodge
or Nest in an official capacity
and are naturally interested
in anything which will bene-
fit their ranks.
Bro. Brkich stressed the
fact that such a Federation
would bring the Society's Bea-
YER County membership to
the front in many respects,
fraternal, civic, social and
otherwise, and serve to pro-
mote the interests of the Cro-
attain Fraternal Union as a
whole.
Just how far the recon-
mendation made by the En-
glisn Editor of the Zajednicar
will get remains to be seen,
but where there is enthusi-
asm there is always hope of
ultimate success.

Washington, D.. G. - The
Summer White House, Denver,
announced last week that Mar
shall Tito's Yugoslav regime
has accepted President Eisen-
hower's offer of a share in a
four million dollar American
relief program for European

The Yugoslav government
recently estimated damage re-
sulting from two flood crisis

and notified the United States
that it would appreciate" the
assistance. President Eisen-
hower's offer to provide sur
plus food went about a month
ago to Danube River and tribu-

President Eisenhower's offer
was previously accepted by

by Soviet Russia. West Ger

Powerful Groups

\A/E have been asked: Which is the lar
W gest United Lodges, Central Com
mittee, Federation or Council within the
Croatian Fraternal Union of America?
To the best of our knowledge, the Uni
ted Lodges of Western Pennsylvania repre-
sent the most powerful such group flying
the banners of the Society, with the Gen.
trail Committee of Greater Chicago Lodges
ranking as the second largest organization.
Exactly 80 Lodges are affiliated with
the Western Pennsylvania group this year,
while twenty 600 Lodges are associated
with its Greater Chicago counterpart.
There are others, of course, among them
being smaller but equally as active groups
operating in Pittsburgh, South Chicago,
Cleveland, Northern and Southern Califor-
MIA, st. Louis, Detroit, the Philadelphia
Camden Area, the Mahoning Valley
Youngstown, Ohio, Area, and statewide
More of these "Organizations within an
Organization are needed to sell, build,
boost and otherwise further the interests
of the Croatian Fraternal Union both here
and in Canada.
They represent the best way in the
world to bring their affiliate Lodge men,
bers together on a grand scale, be that on
a social or often necessary business basis.
And they represent the means of bring
ing the Society to the attention of those
eligible to join it's vast ranks.
The more of them. the merrier orr fra.
ternal life in general will be.

New Pittsburgh
Points The WaY

Big things are happening in
Pittsburgh. In the last decade
much of the face Of that great
city has been recast and more
vast changes are under way.
The story of the rebirth of
an industrial giant is told eff
fectively in a slick-paper bro
chure now being distributed
by the Pittsburgh Chamber of
Commerce.
To give an idea of the scope
of this gigantic undertaking,
the check comes to 2 billion
dollars. This money is provid-
ing the second largest airport
in the world, five new sky
scrapers, Point Park and the
Gateway Center at the heart
of the Golden Triangle, Mellon
Square Park, Penn-Lincoln
Parkway 600 million dollars
alone), and a great Medical
Center.
Of special interest to Kansas
City: How did all this happen?
The answer actually is quite
simple-real cooperation be-
tween all governmental units
federal, state, county and To-
CALI and leaders in labor, bust
ness and ethnic groups.
In Pittsburgh that means
real cooperation, not just talk.
In Pittsburgh they have learn
ed to function completely with
out regard for arbitrary geo.
graphic boundaries. Greater
Kansas City faces some of the
same difficulties. We, however,
have been slow in effective re-
gional cooperation.
The Paseo Bridge is a tri-
umph for local cooperation.
The Jackson and Clay County
Courts, the city and state all
contributed toward a far
reaching regional project. But
in fields other than bridges
and highways this area has
Jagged behind. Pittsburgh,
1854, offers us a fine model of
cooperative action worthy of
study.

Labor's Love Lost?

ABORING men and women the Nation
l. over, thousands of them members of the
Croatian Fraternal Union of America, are
debating whether the United Steelworkers
will continue their affiliation with the Con-
gress of Industrial Organizations (C1O).
The possibility of a Installation by the
1.2OO, 900 member Union with the C1O is
not deemed improbable by observers and
may come to pass during the Annual Con-
@vention of the SteelWorkers in Atlantic
City, September 1923. A number of the
many Delegates to that Convention are affi-
lated with the Croatian Fraternal Union.
David j. Mcdonald, President of the
United Steelworkers, has said that he does
not know of any pending resolution which
may come before the Convention and open
the door for his Union to walk out on the
Congress of Industrial Organizations.
However,, he did hint of a serious split
between the two groups when he recently
urged newspaper reporters not to associate
the Steelworkers with the Go in stories.
This was at the time when the ~Steelworkers
were negotiating with the Steel Industry
for a new and better contract.
Last Monday, August 80, a spokesman
for the Union said that McDonald's attitude
was based on his belief that the public
should not be led to believe that the Go
was making policy or negotiating for the
Steelworkers under any circumstances.
AS for the talk of disaffiliation, the
cause for divorce is contained in the first
article of the United Steelworkers' Consti-
tuition, which states that 1.-THE International
Union (Steelworkers) shall be affiliated
with the Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tons" While quite plain, this article can be
altered by a simple Convention move.
All that is necessary is for any one of
the Steelworkers' Locals to pass a resolu-
ton asking that the language of the article
be changed to disaffiliation. Such a resolu-
ton could be brought to the Convention
floor for debate and action.
AS of this writing, however, no resolu-
ton calling for as much was reported Tin
the making"
What the Delegates to the September
2O-23 Convention at Atlantic City will do in
this matter remains to be seen. In the mean
time, one thing is certain: Something big is
in the wind insofar as the United Steel
workers, as a group, are concerned.
If not, why the increasing bond of
friendship between Presidents Mcdonald of
the Steelworkers, John L. Lewis of the Uni
ted Mine Workers, and Dave Beck Of the
AFL Transfers and the GOODNESS be-
tween Mcdonald and fiery Walter Reuther,
youthful President of the CLIO?
These and other questions are both in
teresting and intriguing. And the answers
to them will be as important to Big Bust
ness as they will to Labor itself.

IN MEMORIAM ;. For over SO years, the hopes, con-
flicts and triumphs of Philip F. Murray centered about Pitts
burgh, Pa, the home of the Croatian Fraternal Union of Amer
lea. Now in Pittsburghs st. Annes Cemetery the late labor
leader rests beneath a granite shrine bearing the words which
he chose as a guide for his life: MY God, My Country, My
Union
Murray's life was one of driving ambition and unfla gging
idealism. He arrived in America from Scotland in 1902, poor
and uneducated, to work as a miner. At a time when it was
both dangerous and impolitic, Murray began his lifelong fight
to better the lot of the workingman.
His record is outstanding: Vice President, United Mine
Workers, 1926--1942; President, CLIO, 1940-1953; founder of
the United Steelworkers of America, 1886; and President of
the latter Union, 1942-1953.
The Lady of Fatima shrine commemorating his name is
nearly Is feet tall and was commissioned by the CIO Executive
Board. 1t is already nationally famous as a tribute to one Of
the worlds greatly beloved and respected labor leaders.
