We were eight votes short this time. An eight-vote deficit is far better than one of 125 votes : So, if we can make a net gain 1 of three liberal Senators and ! eight liberal Representatives No vember 7, we'll ha\^ enough votes | in Congress to get rid of T-H. It's that simple. I You see, Pat and \tike, yoor I votes in 4!*4K were awfully im I portant. They prevented Con | press from passing more1 anti labor laws in 1949 and 1950. Not a single anti-labor law was passed by the 81st Congress which met in 1949 and 1950. Al so, the 1948 election stopped trend to ward anti-labor laws in | state legislatures, | If we all get out and vote this year like we did in 1948. we can pick up those three Senators and eight Representatives we need to repeal T-H. By going to the polls.in 1948, you made your 1960 election job i easier. Today w* only need three more Senators—not 23 more, as in 1948, Today we need but 8 more Representatives—not 125 as we did two years ago. It takes only a half hour of your time on November 7 to go to the polls and vote. If you don't contribute your half hour, you’ll all get another 80th Con gress with more Taft-Hartley Acts Take your choice. TOBIX CALLS ON AMERICAN LABOR TO GUARD AGAINST SPIRALING WAGES (Continued! From Page 1) always f*r easier to let the other fellow do it. But it is crystal clear that such self-restraint af fords the best chance to avoid the drastic over-all price and wage controls of a kind that we would prefer not to go back to. If we do have to impose these controls, they may be with us fo[ a long time.” In the event of further rises in prices and cost of living, To bin said, “labor would naturally feel that further increases in wages were in order.” He em phasized, however, that such in creases in wages would again be reflected in increased industrial prices whenever they could not be readily absorbed> “and we would be involved in another in 1- ; BOGGETT 211 R. Park Ave Phene SIT# LUMBER CO. II P*y» T» Tn* WHk J flationary spiral that would ben efit nobody. Labor would benefit least of all, because the wares ;of labor usually lag behind prices as they rise.** Tobin said: “We must face, the unpleasant fact that pur-j chasing power which helps to: support and expand our economy, in normal peacetime helps only' to inflate prices in an abnormal <>fense situation such as we find • ourselves at the present time.” j “The part which a powerful ! and mature labor organisation | j like yours can play to keep our j | economy secure and our strength | J ample for all demands takes on j j * significance which cannot be j overrated." the Secretary told the ;AFL members. TWO BACKWARD STEPS ARE NOTED AS SOCIAL SECURITY EXPANDS Washington—While the revised Social Security Act on the whole is considered a significant mile stone, the Social Insurance De partment of the American Feder ation of Labor is disappointed in what it describes as two “back ward steps.” It lists: First, the inclusion of the Knowland amendment, which re moves the effective! authority of the Secretary of Labor in. en forcing labor standards in unem ployment compensator Second, the failure of Congress to include the provision for pro tection for those permanently and totally disabled before age 65. Despite these two major de ficiencies the total bill adds up to a tremendous advance in the field of Social Security. While the inclusion of the Knowland amendment and the failure to retain the disability provision are most regretable, looking at the measure as a whole the balatfCe is definitely on the credit side.
