Daley and Merriam
Closing Race for
Chicago MayoraIty

CHICAGO. April 2 tR.-Chi-
cagoans will decide Tuesday
whether their Mayor for the next
four years will be Democrat Rich
ard ]. Daley or Republican Rob-
ert E. Merriam.
The G. o. P. hopes that Mr..
Merriam. its youthful, 36-year-
old reform candidate, will win
enough friends at the polls to
overcome a record of solid Demo-
cratic majorities in the last six
elections,
Mr.. Daley. So. with a long
record of party organization serv-
ice, is banking on preservation
Of the 24-year Democratic adj
vantage and an unruff1ed voter
attitude toward his rivals drum
fire on political machine evils.
Election officials expect about
l.3 million of Chicago's 1.946,477
registered voters to go the polls.
National political issues have
been virtually absent from the
campaign oratory. except for Mr..
Oaley's assertion that his election
will preserve Democratic solidar-
ity for 1856.
But the question Of party po-
tency in next years presidential
and State elections is a vital fac
tor in support for each candidate.
William G. Stratton, Illinois
Republican Governor. has an
nounced his preference for, Mr..
Merriam. despite the fact that
Mr.. Merriam was a Democrat
until last fall and supported SEN
ator Douglas. Democrat, OF 1lli-
nois for reelection. Senator Dirk
sen, Republican. of Illinois has
taken no part in the Chicago
contest.

Muller, that the union will make
its major gains among returned
servicemen.
They've seen their parents
grow old in this business" he
says, land want something better
for themselves"
Throughout the region. how
ever, there are few signs of dis
content in the nonunion fac
tories. One mill operator in the
Greenville IS. CO. area says he
has had trouble in his plants but
twice in a half dozen years. and
On neither occasion did it have
anything to do with money.
On one occasion there was an
argument over whether windows
should be opened or closed
while the air conditioning was
not working. Another time a
cantankerous foreman stirred up
the employees. When he was
fired, they showed their appre-
citation by presenting the mill
operator with a watch which the
donors proudly described as hav-
ing cost $105.
No Unionized Operations
In all Greenville County, by
the way, there s-not a single
unionized operation.
The Importance Of this con-
sheraton may be gagged by the
fact that in adjoining Spartan
burg County they blame the loss
Of a big industry to union-free
Greenville because three mills
and the Southern Railway shops
in Spartanburg are unionized.
This Influence" was feared by
the concern when it considered
locating in the area
Meanwhile, it isn't just the big
Northern" unions that are fail
ing to attract the workers. An
oddity in the Southern textile
country is the absence of the So
called company union" which
often f1ourishes with manage
ment blessing in organizations
where orthodox unionism has
been frozen out.
This movement simply hasn't
taken hold.
what happens when employees
want more money!" the head of
one mill was asked.
'They take it up with the
foreman. he responded.
Actually. it's little more COM
plicated than that. officials who
discuss this matter frankly say
that nonunion management
tends to keep an eye on wage
developments in the few union
mills of the area, primarily. in
Virginia. They try to match or
slightly exceed any raises that
the unions are able to drive
through in these. Thus they
keep their workers satisfied.
There is no nonsense. however,
about fringe benefits and work
load negotiations. They don't
hold with such notions in Dixie.
So the dilemma of the unions
is a cruel one. Here is the South,
visibly benefiting in an economic
sense because it doesn't have to
contend with the labor problem
that made New England unat-
tractive for its key textile in
dustry.
The people of the South are
improving their lot, as the local
economy booms, while New Eng
land workers suffer the pinch Of
depression.
Union labor doesn't like it at
all. But there is nothing it can
do about it now.
Tomorrow: The South's in
dustrial boom brings with 1t a
new social and economic pat

Insurance Men

The Defense Department
today issued an order designed
to protect servicemen against
Iunscrupulous life insurance sales
men.
1t is aimed especially at the
operations of f1y-by-night firms
whose agents have been signing
up CTS for policies with gim-
micks in the fine print.
The directive follows a long
investigation by a House Armed
Services subcommittee headed
by Representative Hebert, Demo-
rat Of Louisiana, into insurance
practices on military bases here
and overseas.
All insurance companies seek
ing to sell to servicemen on over
seas bases will now have to ap-
ply annually for acreditation by
the Defense Department and file
a financial statement.
In the United States, the order
requires that companies and
their agents be licensed by one
of the States or the territories.
