HOW CAN THEY BE MADE TO SAVE THEMSELVES? BY-JAMES F. BARRETT Orfuind Labor’s moot wriorn problta today is not that of dealing with awnagemeat, nor ia it to fooad in the multiplied boards aad bureaus sad commtssieos with which the union Bust call. Labor’s Boat serious problem is foaad within its own BeBhership. The teas of thousands of new BeBbers who have becoBe affilidated with the union since Pearl Harbor, away of whom came into the organisation and the war Job from the fhrm and the small towns where no unions hare over existed, present the biggest problem to the Organised Labor Movement. So many of these aew members are not familiar with the history of tht ment that the job of educating them to the value of the Organ Movement is so big that it is discouraging. It ia not the fault of these aew members that prior to their affiliation in the very recent past they had not informed themselves as to the Yalae of the anion. It is Organised Labor’s job to fiad some way of ,aad patiently yet persistently acquaint them with the history of tho and how much these aew ssemhors owe to the Organised Labor Movement. It is encouraging to note ia each Local Union where aaateroas new ('members hare joined, the number of these younger awn aad women who are staking an interest ia the anion aad learning its history. They hare found •’that the good pay they get, the conditions under which they work, hare been obtained Tor them through the constant activities of the onion.

TRYON ST. if McDonald is elected state JOB HOLDERS SAFE-HITS PUR The candidate, however, lashed at department heads of the state govern ment who “leave their state duties and spend their time riding over the state toying to elect my opponent” and emphasised that he would not “force upon any department head what hf has indicated clearly that he does.not want—being a part of my campaign.” McDonald labeled as “a fundament al question for the people of this state" the “rocking chair deal by the State Alcoholic Beverage Control board," and asked the board: “How much money was involved? What would have been the ordinary com mission for the salesman making the deal? Who got the commission in this instance? Is all or part of this money being used in this campaign?" According to McDonald, the “rock ing chair deal” involved the lump pur aMUMMMSMWMMMMMUM chase of a large amount of rocking chair whiskey “under laws requiring individual purchase of ABC stock by counties.” r ” ' ' “Because of high pressure by the present chairman of the state ABC board,” stated McDonald, “this pur* chase was made collectively by the\ state board. The contracts were written separately by counties, and technically, the purchase appears to be above board.” McDonald also charged that “some have used fear to build up support for my opponent among state em poyes” and branded as rumor the re port that “the present state admin istration is supporting my opponent.” He also pledged to recommend “an adequate wage scale” for every state department and agency, assert ing that there would be adequate money to provide these raises “after the sides tax is abolished.” MMaMMaaMMMWMMAMaaaas For Summer Comfort * Seal Out Summer Heat • Save Fuel Next Winter Rock Wool 3-Inch Batts Emay To Lay .. .
