To paraphrase Lincoln—you can fool some union members all of the time, and all members some of the time, but you can’t fool all of them all the time. Lewis and company should begin to realize this by now— or maybe you can fool all labor lead ers all the time. We should be thank ful that with Truman soon out of the picture—we may not expect a repe tition of what has been allowed to' go on unchecked. We don’t believe Gen. Ike will be put to sleep, as hap pened with Roosevelt and Truman. CLINTON; S.

With high taxes and high prices the worker doesn’t put much away in the savings bank (all of us are work ers), and after a few weeks the housewife begins to heckle him about money to buy groceries.
