Fire Prevention
Week Starts In
Sidney Today

Fire Prevention Week begins
today, as proclaimed by Presi-
dent Eisenhower.
Since the Chicago fire of Oc-
tober 9 and 10. 1871, which wiped
out the entire business section
and a large part Of the residen-
tial properties of that city, fire
prevention and protection have
progressed from a rule-of-thumb
method. an occasional practice, to
the status of a science. Sound
rules of fire safety are now well
established and are available to
all.
Fire prevention was emphasiz-
ed annually as Fire Prevention
Day" for some thirty years before
1920. In that year. the President
of the United States proclaimed
Fire Prevention Week" to in
clude the date of October 9, the
anniversary of the Chicago fire.
The fire prevention movement
has been an active part in nearly
every chamber of commerce in
the United States under the lead
ership of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States in
Washington. Since 1922, the Ma
tional Chamber has provided an
organized program of leadership
in promoting fire prevention and
protection
The Chamber sponsors the Ma
tional Inter-Chamber Fire Safety
Program, featuring an annual
contest among participating cities.
Hundreds of chambers of COM
merce, with their fire depart
ments, city officials, and civic
clubs, actively engage in this
program, and their continuous,
systematic efforts have made a
notable contribution in controlling
the nations fire losses.
In observing Fire Prevention
Week Sidney takes its place with
other cities throughout the Unit
ed States in carrying on a pro-
gram which will result in a safer
city in which to live.

that new areas such as the
white collar and retail fields can
lbe brought in only through in
dustrial rather than craft UNI
ionism.
Beck, on the other hand. has
worked very closely with the
building trades craft unionists.
He conceives Of his fight against
IReuther as a fight for the status
quo. to maintain the power OF
these old-line leaders. Like Reu-
Ither. he would like to see mil
lions Of new unionists enrolled
in the house Of labor. But he
wants them enrolled in unions
he and his allies can control.
To that end he has circum-
vented the structure of ALL

Into organizing pacts with in

get the warehousemen, truckers
and related workers: the rest
supposedly accrue to the other
unions.
Efforts Sterile
Beck often speaks Of a team
sters union with 3 million men,
bers. double its current size. Sc
far his efforts have been Just as
sterile as those Of AFL-CIO itself
whose recruiting effort similarly
has failed to get of the ground
In social matters Beck draws
a blank. He wants legislation
that will protect the trucking
industry. and he works with EN-.
lployers to secure it. But beyond
that he doesn't give a boot.

Both men represent the ex-
tremes within the top brass Of
labor, with the other top leaders
polarizing toward one or the
other.
The fate Of Beck is there

ers who cannot be enrolled in
AFL-CIO under present condi-
lions. He is worried about the
political climate, the right-to.
work laws. the slow tempo Of
social legislation. His kind OIL
union movement would have
four qualities now missing:
|. It would be entirely free O
discrimination against Negroes
and Of internal corruption.
2. It would engage in a Wig

3. 1t would be active in nation
al and local politics on a sus'

Reuther is content to leavI

although he undoubtedly feel
