C-, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1942 WEEKLY BIBLE QUOTATION “The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high. Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in earth."—Psalmist. U-lj-TfWWWl-l-l—i—i—i— i-i— —1 POLITICALLY, A MATTER OF CONJECTURE With election day now passed it is a matter of conjecture.as to whether the cause of labor suffered a defeat at the polls, which remains to be seen. Until the new Congress, and other successful candidates, prove themselves to be enemies of our movement they will be our friends. It is with deep regret that The Journal notes the defeat of Senator Norris, Nebraska. He was a New Deal champion and a friend of Labor. “It’s all over now and Pm at the end of the road,” Norris tearfully remarked upon learning of his defeat. But, even in defeat, the aged Senator will ever be en shrined in the hearts of the masses of our citizenry for the good he has accomplished in and out of the halls of Congress for hu manity, and the underprivileged. The Democrats will still have a majority in both branches of Congress, but not so large as for merly, and then there are splits and coalitions to be reckoned with. But, with it all, President Roosevelt still holds the whip hand with his powers as Commander-in-Chief in war emergency, and we do not feel that he will abuse it. A NEW LABOR PAPER—AND A “HERO” On return to our sanctum, we find “The New Era,” published at Reading, Pa., upon our desk, and it is a neat-appearing, read able 8-column, 4-page weekly labor publication, standing with the A. F. of L. and for “Victory and Democracy,” “The Voice of the Common Man,” “Security and Human Democracy,” which covers a lot of really worth-while territory. Typographically it is neat appearing, editorially of a high type, and from a labor news view point really worth while. George M. Rhodes is its managing editor, and to our brother we extend greetings, but if he is inex perienced, we also extend our sympathy, for any man who ven tures into the labor publication field at this time, or any time for that matter, needs sympathy (and cash). But, brother, plug on—the cause calls for heroes, and a labor editor and publisher in these days has got to be a hound for punishment. ICE «KAW 600 W. FIFTH ST. PHONE 3-1164 CHARLOTTE. N. C.

LABOR’S THREE ARMIES Speaking to the workers of Europe over shortwave the other day, Tom Lyons, New York State Federation head, said that labor was contributing three armies to the fight for a victory over fascism. The first army, he said, is the army of the battle line; hun dreds of thousands of trade unionists are on it, manning guns, piloting tanks and planes, giving their lites for freedom. The second army is on the production line giving the fighting army the tools to beat the Aik This is how it functions. In hundreds of cities and villages throughout the nation labor representatives are serving on local Community War Chests. This is something new. almost revolutionary. Through an agreement reach ed between the AFL Unied Nations Relief, the CIO War Relief, and Com munity Chests and Councils, labor men are sitting as directors and seeing that labor gets full credit for its systematic contributions. They see to it that labor gets proper recognition in their communities and they take care that labor’s own war relief program gets the attention it deserves. That program deserves mention. By agreement with the various war relief organizations and with the approval of the President’s War Relief Con trol Board, three separate labor projects are under way. A total of $1,998,000 has been allocated for British, Russian, and Chinese War Relief, or $660,000 for each. Those are not cold figures. They mean that in England ten nursing homes for shell-shocked children will be built and maintained by American Labor. In Britain also our contributions will maintain three clubs for mer chant seamen, returned to safe port after steering their ships through U Boat packs and dive-bomber attacks. Our money will provide a rest home for the blitzed workers of British industry. In Russia, schools and sanatoriums, hospitals ad nurseries will be set up. Our money is providing common ordinary things like warm blankets, sheets, towels, woolen clothing, shoes, milk, and vitamins. But don’t tell the frozen Nazis on the bare Russian steppes this winter that those are common, ordinary things. They mean life and the will to fight on for our allies. Money sent by American Labor to China is helping the Chinese Associa tion of Labor to smuggle 1,000 skilled workers out of Shanghai and other Japanese-occupied territories. It has meant 100 mobile food canteens, and new hospitals. The Chinese fought alone for nearly five years; they’re not alone now. The thing that we like most about this program is that the two wings of American Labor are working together. Meanwhile labor’s three armies go marching forward. It’s an unbeatable combination. “LABOR FOR VICTORY” WASHINGTON, D. C.—The next “Labor For Victory” program under AFL auspices, on Nov. 22, will offer a special treat to all AFL members. It will be a Christmas broadcast, with emphasis on the Union Label. Secretary-Treasurer I. M. Ornburn, of the Union Label Trades Department, will be the featured speaker. .a....................... — --- — - --- - - -|-| -| Tn_ij~i_rL~L~Ln_ USE THE PAYROLL PLAN 10% EACH WEEK FOR WAR BONDS Worry Doubles Trouble Don’t you trouble trouble Till trouble troubles you.

JONES, Local 179 I would build my home in the deep cool wood, ’Midst mighty oaks which for ages stood i And communed with the wind, the rain and hail And are festooned with moss like a bridal veil; Where shy violets grow on a rocky ledge And a spring brook murmurs along the edge, I would build my house of logs and stone— A treasure chest for all I’d own. I would have a fireplace deep and wide In which the fire gods would abide To cheer me in the eventide. Framed on the mantel a woman’s face— Along with a priceless china vase— Fragrant with petals of roses rare Because once she wore them in her hair. And many things her presence biess’d Are counted among the ones loved best. Pensive twilight’s deepening gloom Silently engulfs my room. And in the firelight’s ruddy glow Fantastic shadows come and go. A drowsy dog beside my chair; A piney fragrance fills the air— Peace and quiet now to me belong, Save sparking embers and the night wind’s song. Kansas City, Mo., Labor Journal.
