THE C.
I. O. POLITICAL ACTION
COMMITTEE
By HON. NOAH M. MASON
In The House of Representatives
Forewarned Is Forearmed
We have in this country today a
well-organized, well-financed move
ment by the leftist wing of Ajnerican
labor to control the Congress. They
propose to defeat any Senator or
Representative they cannot control
A short time ago C. I. O. leaders an
nounced they had set aside $750,000
to be used in the election of a friend
ly Congress. Later they announced
that each member of the C. I. Q.
would be asked to contribute $1 to
ward the campaign fund w'hich would
give them something like 84,000,000
to work with. Already they have
made their influence felt. In the
Alabama primaries several weeks
ago they defeated for renomination
Congresman Starnes, who had been
very active in the Dies committee
work. Two weeks ago they defeat
ed another Dies committee member,
Congresman Costello, of California.
They boldly announce that they are
going into every district the sitting
member of which they do not control.
With a campaign chest of $4,000,000,
it would mean nearly $10,000 to
spend in every district. That . is
quite a fund to be used against any
sitting Member of Congress who will
not take orders from the C. I. O.
What do you propose to do about it?
(Weekly News Letter, May 29, 1944.)
A Helpless Democratic Party
Four of our extreme left-winger
groups the Communist Political As
sociation. the American Labor Party
(an offshoot of the American Labor
Party), and the C. I. O. Committee
for Political Action have all recently
nominated and endorsed President
Roosevelt for the fourth term. Where
does this leave the regular Democra
tic Party? Does it not jlaee them
in the position of having to ratify a
Presidential nomination already
made for them by these four left-
wing party groups? What else is
there for them to do? Real Demo
crats dont like the idea of these radi
cal groups leading their parade, but
there is nothing they cah do about it.
The play has been taken away from
them. They cannot change the sit
uation. The Democratic Party is
helpless. From now on, if Roosevelt
wins in November, the real Demo
crats—‘both North and South—must
play second fiddle to these radical
groups who have been embraced by
the New Dealers. (Weekly News Let
ter, June 12, 1944.)
All fair-minded Americans believe
that labor is entitled to its place in
the sun: that it is entitled to decent
hours, better working conditions,
good wages, £ collective bargaining
rights. The=e are the things that the
rank and file of labor believe in and
have fought for. Thev should be pre
served. But when C. I. O. labor
leaders require a man to contribute
to their political campaign fund in
order to retain his job. even when
the man is opposed to their political
program, then public program, then
.rublic opinion turns against labor
unions that have such leaders. “Labor
racketeering” and “forced labor
shake-downs’’ will eventually destroy
the cause of labor. (Weekly News
Letter, July 3, 1944.)
The C. I. O. Political Action
Committee
Sidney Hillman, whose political
ambitions are attracting wide atten
tion throughout the Nation, capitaliz
ed on World War No. 1 and is now
capitalizing on World War No. 2.
Bom in Russia, he arrived at Ellis
Island August 10, 1907, at the age
of 20. Seven years later, with no
experience as a labor leader, no ex
perience as a journeyman, he raided
the membership of the existing gar
ment makers’ union and organized
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers
of America, which he dominates to
day. The First World War gave him
his opportunity to put the young or
ganization on its feet. The Govern
ment then, as in this war, insisted
that manufacturers of clothing for
the armed forces have satisfactory
union contracts. Through the aid of
the late Justice Brandeis, Felix
Frankfuter, and Prof W. Z. Ripley,
Hillman had things his own way in
the wartime clothing industry. Mr.
Roosevelt, at the request of Frances
Perkins, brought him into national
labor prominence with the advent of
the New Deal; but it was the coming
of the Second World War that gave
bis union, together with that of the
textile workers which he had taken
under his wing, their present boom
period of prosnerity, which set in
motion his political activities.
We look upon the two World Wars
as terrible tragedies, but Hillman,
looking back over his career, can
sav: “It is an ill wind that doesn’t
blow somebody some good.’’ Were it
not for the war, with the tremen
dous expansion of our industrial
plants, and the general upheav 1 1
which a war creates, the A. F. of L.
would son clip his wings like no-1
body’s business, just as it has done
in the past. Hillman’s ambitions are
to elect a President and a Congress
of his own choosing, not neeessarjlv
a Congress or a President “friendly”
to labor, but rather n Congress and
a President “friendly’’ to the Hillman
philosophy. In order to nccomofish
this he has made an allianm wjt'i the
Communists to form a united noliti-
eal front Commenting upon this al
liance, Mark Sullivan, Fulton Lewis
and other newspaper and radio com
mentators have pointed out that no
one questions the right of anyone to
engage in legitimate political activity,
but the American people should be
made acquainted with the purposes
and aims of this radical labor leader
As a youngster in Russia Hillman
was schooled in revolutionary activi
ties. In 1921-22 Hillman went hock

Column . :

Inelle Broadway
Mulching is a labor short- cut to
taking care of the Victory Garden...
Three things mulching does: keeps
down weeds .... helps hold mois
ture in the soil .... helps keep cer
tain vegetables clean like un staked
tomatoes, cucumbers, bush squash,
and so on.
To get the best results from mulch
ing, spread the mulching material
between the rows and around the
dants early. A heavy mulch will
work against you by absorbing the
water from light rains before it has
•i chance to get to the soil. The most
effective mulch after it has settled
down, is about two inches.
Of course, farmers have no prob
lem getting suitable mulching ma
terial—thev can go to the barn for
straw c.r hay. But for town and
city gardeners, finding suitable ma
terial may not be so easy. Tall grass
or even weeds, are good for mulch
ing if cot before seed is formed. In
extreme ea«es last year, a few town
and city gardeners resorted to using
old newspapers, in thicknesses of six
to eight sheets, between the rows
and around the plants. Then they
not dirt on the corneps to hold down
the proeis. Gardeners who tried
this trick said it worked, and they
had little or no trouble with weeds.
Gardeners should not mulch crops
who live in areas of heavy rainfall.
Mulching will only help to keep their
garden soil too wet.
EVERY HOME CONSERVE! There
is imperative need for peak pro
duction of canned fruits and vege
tables this year. Plan carefully to
can some each week. Avoid spoil- i
age! Secure the latest canning bul-l
letin, and purchase a steam pressure I
cannerr. Not only will this piece Of
equipment make for safe canning. >
but many quick meals can be pre
pared in it. Save time and fuel!

ARE YOUR POCKETS
STRIPPED FOR ACTION ?
Now is the time to: Can. Fish, Cut
weeds, Keep eggs cool, Read about j
Hceland, Stake tall-growing flowers,
Plant sweet corn for fall roasting
ears. Avoid poison ivy—three leaws, j
remember.
This is it.
The zero hour all over the world. The big
push we’ve waited for so long.
This is the time for belts to be worn tighter.
For pockets to be scraped. For every last
American to wring more dollars out of him
self than he thought he could spare!
The U. S. Treasury needs $16,-
000,000,000 right now! $6,000,-
000,000 from individuals alone.
That's more than $100 in cash from
every wage-earning person in the country!
We’re going to have to doable what we did
last time!
Just to show you the seriousness of this
drive, our Government says—It’s probably
tho biggest offort wo’ll over bo callod

Don’t fail the boys who’ve got the

What Lies Ahead
American boys are fighting and d^-
ing all over this world so that Ameri
can principles and ideals may be pre
served for posterity. It is disturbing
therefore to read in the daily paners
a story from Detroit that says “The
United Automobile Workers (C. I.
O.) have asked General Motors Cor
poration to fire five war veterans
who belonged to the union before
entering service, but failed to main
tain their membership after getting
their old jobs back when discharged
from the armed forces.” If by any
chance the boys on the beaches of
France should dread thjs story, what
would they think? Would they not
ask, “Are we to return to jobs that
will be denied us unless we bow. to
the demands of radical labor lead
ers? Is this a sample of the liber
ties, the .privileges, and the rights of
American citizenship for which we
fight?’’
pf training and definite assignment
in a specific field for medical de
partment work provided that they
manifest the proper qualifications
and meet the army phyiscal require
ments. WAC recruiting headquarters
in South Carolina will take care of
sipplicants from the state.
Fhve weeks of basic training, fol-
olwed by 12 weeks pf training at the
Army and Navy hospital at Hot
Springs. Ark., comprise the course.
After the training period WAC
technicians are assigned to Army
medical installations in general,
station, base or evacuation hospi
tals.
Detachments of WAC technicians
are already serving a t Walter Reed
hospital in Washington and at Hal-
loran general hospital on Staten is
land.
Teacher?, social workers and col
lege students with backgrounds re
lated to the technical subjects of
fered in the 15 categories are being
sought. High school graduates will
also be eligible for some of the jobs
after training in an Army school
iHtl
A number of Americano will not be.
Many Americano will be dead before this
day is ended. Many more tomorrow. Many
every day in die weeks to come.
For this is the most critical stage of the
toughest, bloodiest war America has ever
faced. This is the time when America must
make her supreme military effort Nothing
can be spared—in men or equipment
For us at home, too, the greatest effort of
the war is demanded—now.
The greatest sum of money ever raised
must be raised in the next few weeks—by
our purchases of War Bonds.
This doesn’t mean simply buying a bond
in the regular way. It doesn’t even mean
buying extra bonds as in other War Loan
drives.
It means doubling—yes, doubling—what
we’ve done before.
It means putting in $2 for every $1 we
putin other drives. $20 for every$10! $200
for every $100!
To many this will mean real sacrifice!
Well, what If It does? The supreme ef
fort of die war is at hand for eoer^ American
—both here and overseas! Double uour
