Tnc Looking Ahead quarters In our country. Who wants to start a fight? Who wants to get answers. Here's one: "Communists have a very low opinion of the pour age of union members in the mass because they know through long experience that the average Ameri can worker dislikes controversy and 'trouble' and will stay away from union meetings that are con our nation, gain control of highly strategic unions in which they have only a small number of members.

He is the father of Gilbert Alphin, Duplin County Tax Collector. (Photo by Charles Kraft). ential positions, who could not possibly be sold the full Marxian line, have fallen for and are con stantly using some of the Com munists' best tools. Labels such as "Red-baiter" and "Witch-hunter," "anti-labor," "anti-Negro," "anti Jew," are Communist tools. They are the best tools Communists in America have devised to take the heat off themselves. Insidious Tactics The label "Red-baiter" has about worn out its effectiveness. But "Witch-hunter", "anti-labor," "anti Jew", "anti-Negro" all have an ugly connotation. Few Americans want to be lambasted thus and with the other accompanying vitupera tion. So must people keep their mouths shut, publicly, which is precisely the Communists' design. A friend of mine has sent me a little book on Communist 'tactics in labor unions which has the ring of authenticity. It was written by Karl Baarslag, an A. F. of L. mem ber since 1920. Unlike many cur rent authors in this particular field, Baarslag was never a Communist. He was one of the founders, in 1931, of a sea-going radio operators union. Within a few years it had 1,500 members and was rigidly controlled by a handful of Com munists. 'There were less than 60 identifiable Communists and poss ibly 150 to 200 fellow travelers and dupes." Baarslag writes. "Among the loyal members, the puzzling question arose, 'How can so few dominate and outwit so many?' " There are many answers.
