Give Labor Unions Credit
One of the roast fearless cham
pions of trade unions in the 81st
Congress, , Senator Hubert H. \
Humphrey, Democrat of Minne
sota, is an outspoken foe of the
Taft-Hartley law. Because he so
clearly demonstrates the false
philosophy that underlies the
Taft-Hartley law, we offer ex
cerpts from .his remarks before
the Senate Labor committee.
The question of labor-manage
ment relations does r.ot exist in
a vacuum. To understand the
bills we are discussing—the Taft- j
Hartley act and the bill that will
replace it, the Thomas Act—we
must deal with it in relation to j
the whole economy and the entire
community.
We , have heard a great deal
about labor's bargaining power
growing too great. Let me refer
to the facts again. Could work
ers have too much bai gaining
power when in 1948. 31 per cent
of our families still have income
under $2,000 a Vea: ? While in
the meantime, corporate profits
hit an all-time high.
And those profits are going up
yet, ever, e- unemployment sets
in. even as farm prices come
down, even as oar dairy farmers
are being taken tc the cleaners,
and our .att’e farmers find their
market ' breaking.

A few horrible examples of
some odd words fitted into sen
tences :
Soviet: Dinner was ready, so
viet.
Cadillac: A Cadillac mean if
ou pull its tail.
Boll Weevil: After the boll
veevill all go home.
Loquacious: She bumped into

Guff: “So you like my pooch.
I’m glad. It cost me $1 000. Very

In a tight-fisted Iowa congre
gation, the hat was passed around
one Sunday and returned abso
lutely empty. The pastor cast
his eyes heavenward and said
reverently, "I thank Thee, oh
Lord, that I got my hat back.”

Miss Batten took a piece of
chalk and wrote on the black
board: “I didn’t have no fun over
the week-end.”
“Now, Jimmy.” she command
ed, “how should I correct that?”
“Get yourself a feller,” sug
gested Jimmy.

'Twas in a restaurant they met,
Brave Romeo and Juliet.
He had no cash to pay his debt
So Romeo’d what Juli'et.

She sat on a bridge in the gloam

And tickled his face with het
toes,
But she was a Jersey Mosquito
And the bridge was the bridge
of his nose.

Letter-Press
Printing
Letter press printing in the graphic arts
means the direct application of inked type
and engravings or other type material to
paper.
It is the simplest of all graphic methods
of reproduction and at the same time the
most lasting. It was the method employed
by the medieval craftsmen who first ap
plied type to paper and it has persisted
throughout the centuries over all innova
tions. until today, when the best of crafts
manship is sought in a job, there is no al
ternative to letter press printing, along
with high grade paper and typographic
good taste.
We suggest that if you have some print
ing in view that you want well done, you
consult us. Simply telephone 5-1776 or
else call at the office, 118 East Sixth St.,
