Election Day
Would Be A
Natl. Holiday
Christmas, Labor Day, New
fear's and Thanksgiving are all
National Holidays. The AFL and
LLPE have consistently demanded
that National Election Days every
two years should also be made a
National Holiday so that the work
ing people of the nation could get
to the polls. Representative Hugh
B. Mitchell, pro-labor Democrat
from Washington, introduced such
s bill at the opening of this Con
gress. The Judiciary Committee of
the Hqpsf, of Representatives held
bearings on Mitchell's bill last
Friday, March 11th. If Representa
tives and Senators are interested
in continuing and strengthening
our Democratic way of life, they
will get behind this hill and see
that it is passed this session.
Representative Mitchell’s case is
typical. Here’s what happened in
bis district:
The majority of working people
stayed on their jobs during the
day and then jammed the polling
places after working time. When
the polls closed at eight o’clock
thousands who were waiting in
line were unable to cast their bal
lots. Some nations make voting
compulsory or hold elections on
Sunday. But the American tra
dition is to hold national elections
on the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in November. As a result
it is typical for less than half of
the potential voters to elect our
President and Congressmen. For
the preservation of truly repre
sentative government, election day
should be made a holiday so that
the majority not the minority will
choose our lawmakers.
If you worked all day last No
vember 2nd, and didn’t get a
chance to vote, write your Con
gressman urging passage of HR
15M.
THE NON-UNION man had ap
plied for a job on the big con
struction project, but he didn’t get
it, because it was a union product.
Then the man, perhaps sensing an
emergency, began to inquire his
way around.
“Just go right around that cor
ner,” a union carpenter told him,
pointing, “Turn to the right and
you’ll see a sign on the door mark
ed ’Gentlemen’. But don't pay any
attention to the sign — just go
right in!”
