Jimmy Hoffa and the other laborite commis sars who believe they own the jobs held by American working men must find the labor “reform.'' bill pass ed by the Senate a big joke. The bill IS a joke This legislative tiger, which should be able to chew up union corruptionists, is toothless. Let's look at the facts. The Taft-Hartley Law gave members of unions the right to inspect union records According to Labor Secretary James Mitchell, this right has been taken away in the Kennedy-Ives “re form'' bill. Although the measure calls for honest union of ficials. it does not require that they assume the re sponsibility of financial trustees The proposed law charges the Labor Department with the duty to investigate union bosses who fail to comply with the law. Significantly, it does not pro vide the Department with the investigative power necessary to do an effective job The bill fails to provide for union democracy. Al though it insures periodic election of officers by se- , cm ballot, it doesn't require secret balloting on vital ! union decisions The so-called "reform" bill lessens the liberty of working men Under existing law, a worker in a union shop has 30 days before he is forced to join a union and pay a union boss a fee for the privilege of holding a job offered by an employer The Kennedy- Ives bill cuts this period from 30 days to 7 days. Sen ator McClellan called this a “regression from de mocracy,” but his amendment was killed by the friends of the union bosses in the Senate. Perhaps the worst feature of the “reform” bill is that it ignores the recommendation of the McClel lan Labor Rackets Committee that a state be autho rized to act in a labor dispute wherever the Nation al Labor Relations Board does not act. The “re form" bill allows big government to take over this field. TTie Kennedy-Ives measure gives all authority to the NLRB and denies it to the states. It increases ] 5:30 P m the power of bureaucrats in Washington and deprives the states of power that rightfully belongs to them It has been charged on good authority that desi rable amendments were voted down “because the bill had to be acceptable to union leadership." In oth er words, it had to be acceptable to the very group that must be regulated and reformed. Hopes for stiffening this weak bill in the House of Representatives are virtually non-existent. The House Labor Committee is controlled by Congress men who follow the union line. The tragedy of the situation is the collapse of pub lic indignation over labor union bosses. The country has turned its eyes from the harsh realities of cor ruption and gangsterism revealed in <he questioning of Beck and Hoffa. The probe itself fizzled out when it came to Walter Reuther, who was too hot political ly to touch. The public apparently has forgotten the facts con cerning the violence-ridden strikes, the beatings by labor goons, the accounts of high living Otherwise, the public would be pressuring Congress for a true labor reform bill. In view of the obvious weakness of this bill, it is difficult to understand the flattery and adulation in dulged between members of the Senate over what they had accomplished—unless it was an effort to salve their own consciences. » . ^ construction, and training specialist fj ces \\2 North Broad Street. ^Academy S,.v S Lyd,a (P) 3:00 and admjn , slraUvo wi ,h opora- The compaIly wUI occupy a newly July 8 tl0n ' S ' constructed building, owned by Bai- Thornwell vs Academy St. <SF) : Prior t0 that - he was wiU l L the |ley Williams, of Laurens. 10:00 a. m > Veterans Administration in Char-; AUractive olfices have ar- Florida St vs Whitmire (P) 3:00 1( ‘ s,on and Greenville for six years 'f or s ervice to personal loan p m as training officer for veterans in K Exchange Club vs Moose Club institutions 1 of higher learning and he taught at Charleston High Thomas Jefferson - Great American The DevUrmtton of Independence, nmuterpiece of Thom*.'

His importance as a maker of modern Amerna can scarce ly be overstated, for the ideas he advocated have become the very foundation* of American repuMicaniam. His frank and earnest address, his quirk sympathy, his vivacious, vaned. informing talk, gave him an engaging charm Beneath a quiet surface he was aglow with intense conv iclx>fts and an emotional temperament. When he bswame President of the United States. Jeffer son rejected all the pomp and lermony of his high office. His dress was of "plain cloth" on the day of hia inaugura tion. Instead of opening Congress with a speech to which a formal reply was expected, he sent in a written message He would not have his birthday celebrated by state balls, fcven such titles as "Excellency" and "Honorable" were dis tasteful to ihm. Diplomatic grades were ignored in social precedence, and foreign relations were seriously compromised by dinner-table complications. One minister who appeared in gold lace and dress sword for his first official call on the President was re ceived by Jefferson in negligent and slippers down at the heel. Next to the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson's most famous service to his country w*as the Louisiana Purchase. The Louisiana Purchase gave the United States Louisiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa, North and South Dakota. Nebraska and Oklahoma? as wett ac most of Kansas, Colorado, Wyom ing, Montana and Minnesota—all at a cost of fours cents an acre! This achievement is not mentioned in the epitaph on Jef ferson’s tomb. By his own choice, it reads simply, “Here was buried Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Amer ican Independence, of the statute of Virginia for religious freedom, and father of the University of Virginia.” Little Boys League to but witk The Mooor Club loot « the Lam* Club the pa»t uill retnoiu* is Ant ptare. xvon wuu and one loo* TV dub » mcwmJ with ux wuw and two to—i Joann* ood the Kiwaau dub are lied for third piece Each lean tie* low fame* lo play next aver j frated tor the first time this aeason by Lydia Bill Martin of Joanna, has hit au home run* this year, and Eddie Madden at Academy Street has hit 1 Ave hombe runs in tV Pony League.
