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

picture—we may not expect a repe

go on unchecked. We don’t believe
Gen. Ike will be put to sleep, as hap

Ignoring Home Growers
The Lee County Messenger says
it has learned that 30,000 turkeys
have been shipped into South
Carolina for use in the school
lunch program which has become
one of the big activities of the
schools. Five carloads were ship-
on the continuation or culmination
of the disgraceful strike—by secret'
ballot—if Truman had performed his |
sworn duty and invoked the law.,
Having been granted more than they
had asked for and being threatened
by their leaders union shop demand,
there is not much doubt how they
would have voted.
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. Well,
before that Trumanized strike ended,
these people needed money badly.
But Truman and the dictators were
going to continue the, strike until
they got the union shop—and thus
complete control of the workers, or
until the national danger became so
