We are not in favor of making unemployment more desirable than employment at a decent wafl^Wteua.'ly tht imempl r mi nt lule o compensation proposed bt lire IvJvrrray-Kilgsre Bill was not in lint with needs oi proposed needs .Maybe it was foolish to pay the fare of unemployed persons bat k home or to jobs open elsewhere. But while Congress, led by Republicans and reactionary Democrats, were sacrificing human welfare on .the altar of matei i< i wealth, ade quate provisions were made to care for the re conversion of industry. Liberal payments to the big contractors will aggregate many bil lions of dollars. Big business voiced no objec tions when the trough was being filled for its greedy snoot. The skimpy human demobilization bill pass ed just recently by Congress is in marked con trast to the one passed for industry. Possibly neither industry nor human beings are entitled to governmental succor in the postwar period, but what is so hard to understand is why one is favored and the other is kicked in the face. Why should one group be guaranteed many billions and others are denied unemployment compensation at the rate of about $20 or $25 a week? Commenting on the one-sided legislation, Senator George D. Aiken of Vermont said last week, "It seems rather peculiar that men can work day and night over property and dollars ! and cents, but cannot give consideration to hu man beings.” The Republicans and reaction ary Democrats had worked night and day to carry for the big boys and then left countless humans to sink or swim. I It was not planned to place workers oh st pension; it was proposed to include the com pensation plan in an over-all program to even out the wrinkles in the postwar period and to head off another depression. It is quite possi ble that some of those who jogged Congress in ti killing the Kilgore Bill and substi tuting the skimpy human demobilization plan in its place will learn that they cut off their noses io spite their faces, that Congress will be condemned for not seeing far enough ahead ing a inwnSef^fim^?^d*r^r?riioov’er napping in the laps of the cozy rich once upon a time. Must Have 4 Devil —* News and Observer. Republicans and other Reactionaries must ! have a devil, or a raw-head and bloody bones with which to frighten voters. As they oppose al1 good labor laws, they usually dress up a la j boi leader who supports the Democratic can didate with horns and a tail and a red tongue and make him Exhibit A. In H&C, when John L Lewis, backed by almost tl»e solid labor ! iorces, supported Roosevelt, he was the Devil ; Personified. Voters were told that if Roosevelt won Lewis and the Communists would take seats in the White House and call the “figgers” lor the dance. Since in 1940 Lewis supported Willkie and in bitterest terms denounced k vise veil because he could not give orders to White House, the Republicans have cau .■>.«. 1 up to John L. and they are parading him . . nr-angel wth-a- harp “made in Wall Street” since he declared on Tuesday his enmity of R isevelt, blatantly and falsely saying the President had “kicked the miners in the face.” As the miners are getting better pay and work ing under better conditions than ever, they i-i w the only kicking they have felt is larger checks in their pockets. Put Republicans and Reactionaries, having taken Lewis to their heart and anointed him, must create a devil. And so they pick on Sidney Hillman. In 1937 when Sidney supported Dew ey for District Attorney and contributed $5, (100 to his campaign fund, Dewey and the oth ( r Republicans thought he had sprouted wings. This year, when Hillman supports Roosevelt and collects $1 each from workers to help elect him, suddenly his wings are gone and he be comes the devil for this campaign. It all depends on whose ox is gored. Reac tionaries must have a devil to. fight. It was John Lewis in 1936. In 1944 it is Hillman. Both were angels when they voted for a Republican. Both are devils when they do not vote to de stroy the hopes and gains of labor. Dewey does not think Lewis is “as black as painted” when he supported Roosevelt in 1936, hut thinks Hill men is a “prince of darkness” since he quit sup porting Dewey.
