If wt defeat the Oermapa and the Wop* and the Japs while we allow John L i IAtv> 1h and other racketeers to take over the helm of government In fht D. 8. wo will he In a grave position Internal rebellion wontd be more costly and more dlauHtroua than u foreign war. There Isn't very much doubt In inj mind but that such a castastropho h coming Every indication pointa In that direction. Hoodlums such hp Lewis are not willing to abide by any Just rules of law and order. They aren't patriotic enough to realise that we are In the midst of a great strug glo for freedom and that every day of production might well mean a month of progress in the war effort They are intent on playing the game by their own rules and letting the rest of .society he damned. Most far sighted people believe In the principle of organized labor but no fair-minded person subscribe* to ullowlng the great working musses of our people to be made the goats for a bunch of selfish, unprincipled and crooked gangsters?-many of whom have Jail records. \yhy can't tbe affuli-H of our laboring people be labelled by men of good characterf Certainly there are men in the ranks of labor who possess this virtue as well as the ability to be uble administrators. A large part of the trouble can be laid In the laps of the national ndlnlnlstration. They have courted tHe labor vote to the extent of making laws and establishing precedents totally unfair to Industry and wholly against all democratic principles. Our government has allowed labor to resort to unconstitutional practices, to destroy and confiscate property, to enforce the closed shop and to engage tn unlawful picketing and gang warfare that has been more dangerous than the feuds of ihe underworld. Do you realiz^ what a CLOSED SHOT' Is? It nmAns that if one seeks employment tn certain industries he MUST become a member of a union? not only a union but a CERTAIN union designated by the government. He must pay an initiation fee ranging from $10 to several hundred dollars. Still the union has a right to reject him even though the industry wants to give him employment. The government sanctions the practice and allows labor unions to enforce It. The union is not required to make an accounting either of the Initiation fees or the millions In dues they collect from these people who have been given no defense for their constitutional rights. If labor can enforce the closed shop, why doesn't the government allow Industry the alterna tive of either not employing any union labor or of discharging employees for obnoxious union activities? Is It right for union dues to be exempt from Federal income taxes? If this Is right then why shouldn't all lodge, club and fraternal order dues be likewise oxempt? I say to you that unless we send men of character and stamina who are unafraid to our legislative halls we are headed for Revolution?because. the American people won't stand for much more of this rotten business. We must act now! Love, Your Dad. P. S. Even if 500,000 people think Lewis is right (though we don't believe the men he has made slaves of, agree with him) there are more than 1S2.000.000 people who know he is wrong! NOBODY'S BUSINESS By Gee McGe# I I. ,, ? I - - ^ .. ? , SCHOOL DAYS IN THE 90a 1 started to school when I was 8 > yearn old My home was 4 miles from > the old church that was used as u school house. I could not have taken > u?> my effort jo seek knowledge any i sooner. 1 had to wait until I got old enough to wulk 8 miles per day. Our > school term ran 3 or 4 months a year, i hut we were subject to a six-weeks i summer term?after ?iops were laid i by and before fodder was ready to ' pull. 1 wore a little checkedy llndaey dress and not much else, ft had not turned very cold, It boing only Nov. 1. Shoes and underclothes were Very rare, In fact thoy wore so rare they were not considered any part of 1 a child's wearing apparel. My books consisted of a blue-back spell and i an Army and Hammer soda thumb, paper. 1 was taught my ABC's dur1 ing the first two months, got where I could say them down to F by the third month. Th.) second semester?then called "when school opened"?I still had my blue-back speller, but was given a slat*1 and pencil. It wasn't very long until I was being taught how to spell ab, uc and ad. Those were pretty hard words for a boy only about 9 years of age to spell off the book. The teacher set a copy for me so'b I could practice writing. It consisted of some straight lines between two long horizontal lines. And was Ihat tough stuff! We hud one little recesB and one big recess and another little recess. Books took up at about 8 a. m.. sun-time, and we went home around 4:30 p. m. . - ?~ Kverybmly fetched dlnuer. The word "lunch" had never been heard of. Mother would cook some big biscuits for uh. The oldest child In our flock always took ct?re of the bottle of ho-tnade molasses that we poured Into a hole In the biscuit made with our fingers. We occasionally had roasted potatoes, that Is?In season. We never worried about what was In our dinner buckets; we worried because we were afraid there wasn't enough stuff. Lots of times?we ate every bite we carried away from home before we got to the school house. Then we almost starved to death by the time school turned out. Them were the days though. WE ARE ON OUR WAY I stood In a bank lobby the other day for thirty minutes. Just waiting. I observed that at least 60 per cent of all the checks that were passed over the counter were government checks. I further too knote of the fact that practically all or the government Items were paid In cash; only a small minority were - placed on deposit. Government dough, which Is usually easy dough, represents the fastest money In the world?here today, gone tomorrow. Very few, If any, of the recipients of cash on the government checks referred to rendered any service whatsoever therefor. They were sideline payees. How long our Uncle Samuel can stand this heavy burden Is any- i body's guess. This does not mean that each and every person receiving these checks were not legally and justly entitled thereto, according to , law. The folks who were passing these checks In were not employees of the government; they were only payrollees. It would be hard to tabulate , the many useless government agencies here and there and everywhere. They will contniue to function (that is?draw pay) until a change is made In ruler-ship, meaning the arrival of a republican or a Lewis regime. New brooms alwayB sweep old accumulations out of office. New workers (?) are Installed; they will be no better and no worse than the old ones. During a prosperity period like the the present, people do not have very much more stuff to eat or wear; they simply eat porter-house cakes and pie Instead of corn bread and collardB, and wear silks and satins and high priced shoes Instead of calicoes, ginghams and sandals. They substitute Old Crow, Grandad and Canadian Club for XXXX, Hot Joe, and White Rabbit; in fact, they drink the best that money will buy. Some few folks save Borne money; others throw it to the four winds and believe that no rainy ( day w ill ever. come. Only about 40 i per cent of the population of the average community Is benefitting financially by reason of the war and war work. NOW YOU SEE IT? NOW YOU DONT Warsaw.
