LAGGING CAMPAIGN RATHER DISCOURAGING Unless Mecklenburg county's March of Dimes campaign picks up considerable momentum during the remaining days of the drive this county will not have raised its $100, 000 quota by January 31. If the splendid workers back of the drive were to accept this lack of giving in. a pessimistic vein perhaps they would lay down and let the drive end up tallying a huge shortage. But knowing many of the persons connected with the local March of Dimes. Staff so well The Labor Journal predicts that this lack of interest (will not glow them d?WT» one iota in their efforts to raise ?hS eounty's alloted quota. - - . .i ... .. Now that We are confident the committee and its work ers are out doing their utmost to aid the unfortunate vic tims of last year’s polio epidemic, as well as those who .may become victims in the future, by assisting in the raising of funds to be used in caring for the unfortunates, every able man and woman in the county should join in on this j Community Campaign and do his or her part to assist every way possible. Who knows when this dread disease may strike, and whom and where? Caring for Polio victims is an expensive ordeal. Those whom we have in our hospitals at the present time require about $5,000 per month to maintain them where they may receive the proper treatment. The treatment is of too long duration in most cases, and also too expensive, fdr the average individual working for a living to afford, but it must be maintained for all alike. Therefore everyone is asked to contribute his full share in ord£r that the lives of children may be saved, and their little limbs and bodies ministered unto. ‘ - Men and women of Mecklenburg, rise to the great need of the hour! Demonstrate a greater and more loving com munity spirit! Give to this very worthy cause until it hurts. " .. -- -- * v. GOMPERS ON RUSSIA, . (27 Years Ago) . • “In Soviet Russia the Bolsheviks are using many Words with a new meaning. It has been shown, how they spme times employ the word ‘democracy’ tc> mean the reVerse of what all civilized peoples and all the labby movements of the world have hitherto meant by the word. So also, after abolishing all the rights of labor and labor organiza tions and of co-operatives, the Bolshevists, ‘nevertheless, continue to apply the terms ‘trade unions' and ‘co-opera tives’ to the empty shells that remain.” Commodities are designated by brand, names and human beings are distinguished by Union Labels!

TURN YOUR MARCH OP DIMES INTO A MARCH OF DOLLARS—HELP COMBAT THE DREADED POLIO! Green Urges Labor To Do Its Utmost William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, has fully endorsed the plea of Basil O’Connor, president of the National Foundation for Infantile Paraly sis, for a record-breaking 1949 March of Dimes campaign. In a letter to Mr. O’Connor, Mr. Green urged “every member of unions affiliated with the American Federation of Labor to give his utmost support to this splendid cause.” The labor leader recalled that “stricken children of many members of the American Federation of Labor again have j been helped along the road to recovery through chapters of the National Foundation.’’ This pledged support by labor of the 1949 March of i Dimes came after Mr. O’Connor revealed that the cost of ' aid and treatment alone of victims in the 1948 epidemics I—upwards of 27,000 children and adults were stricken in j this worst polio year in more than three decades—will ex ceed $17,000,000. This cost will continue high in 1949 since i treatment in a great number of cases’ must continue | through many months, and in some instances for years. In his letter, Mr. Green pointed out that labor ‘this year is deeply conscious of the ravages infantile paralysis has caused throughout the nation.” Mr. Green asked Federation members to keep in mind “the services rendered by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis in meeting the widespread epidemics” which raged with particular fury in Texas, North Carolina, and more than a dozen other states. To carry on its fight against polio through research and education, to continue its important work of aid and treat ment and ,to arm against next Summer’s expected epidem ics. the National Foundation has asked every one to give at least 50 per cent more during the 1949 March of Dimes campaign, January 14-31.
