tated to by rabid leaders.
The TafUHartley act-is designed
to settlle strike threats without dis
rupting business, making unemploy
ment, and inconveniencing the
American people. President Truman
refuse? to resort to the injunction
provision of the act which he re
peatedly has asked congress to scrap.
It shows his prejudice, and that he
is a small man attempting to fill a
big job.-- ; •

You taxpayers ought to reflect
carefully up.»n these figures contain
ed in a recent issue of the United
State: News and World Report
In tour fiscal years of peacetime.
1944 1947. 1948 and UH9, the United
States government spent $177,000,-
• •00.000. according to this publication
In !52 years, from the time of
George Washington's first inaugura
tion .n 1789 to the beginning of
preparations for World War II in
1940. tne government spent $167.-
ooo.ooo.ooo
The«e figures are startling* They
show mat the government has spent
more m the last four years than it
spent in the 152 preceding years.
Dur ng a century and a half of
United States history—a period that
:nclu:ied four major wars, several
deprt‘<«:ons and seven years of the
\cw De.il. the government spent
M0.000.ihmi.000 less than in the first
.ir >« - f .“.owing World War II.
We :.eeJ a house-cleaning in
Wd.'ii.rut >n now. more than ever be-
f .re. y .u will agree aUer reading
the:* astonishing figures.
The most obvious denial of the
right to work is found in the closed
shop which tells the worker, in ef
fect. that he must join a union, ad
here to union policy, and pay dues
to a union, in the spending of which
he has no voice, or he will not be
allowed employment at his craft In
the union shop plan the worker must
join the union after he has been em
ployed for some length of tune And
it is also found in such a technique
as mass picketing which is s form
of intimidation to prevent people
from taking Jobs they want and need
for the support of their families La
bor can never be free until it has
the r.ght to work and cannot be die*

.As an example, here is what hap
pened last year to the income of a.
middle-sized c>rp .ration engaged in
the business of processing fabrics. Its
total revenues came to $17,460,000
Nearly half of the gross—$8,350,000
— went for materials, supplies and
services, the report showed. Labor
came in for the next biggest slice—
$6,330,000. The tax coilector^-who is |
always standing around with his
hands outstretched, took $1,300,000.
About $734,000 was retained in the
business for plant expansion, work- ;
ing capital, and unforseen emergen- i
cies.
This left a trifle under $750,000.
Phis amounted to 4.3 cents out of
?ach dollar of sales. And it was all
that went to stockholders in the form
A dividends, for the use of their j
money which made it possible for
