WEEK-END BRIEFS
by J. B. S.
Since labor and unions are
the chief problem of the present
day this bit of advice is offered
as one of the solutions' to the
strike problem. The day that
the unions decide that no salary
shall go to any union official
during a' strike period will be
the beginning of the end of
strikes.
The C.I.O. denies that it is
"threatening strikes" as they
proceed around the country at
tempting to organize. A better
method of proof of that state
ment instead of using the press
for denial would be to cause a
fair election to be held accord
ing to government regulations
with an impartial referee and a
ballbtt box for the three unions,
and one for the folks who do
not care to be organized.
Labor is on trial as well as
the Republican parties for the
next two years. Both groups
need to "set their houses in
order." The public is slow to
awaken but "hell on wheels"
once it does turn against a
group. -
Senator Ball states that Re
publican members of Congress
should consult President Tru
man on any changes that are to
be made in existing labor laws.
Can;.ibe that the G.O.P. fears
and negds the labor vote? Or
can it ; be that the 6.O.P. is
looking for a "fall guy" in case
labor decides to turn on some
political party J Since the
unions have played ball with
both factions there would be

onlv one more alternative that
nf the Ooirmmnist Partv. Should
that happen then we as a nation
envied and hated by a lot of
"have not" nations would be
come easy prey for conquest
while fighting a civil economic
war among ourselves.
Once during our . many tra
vels we heard a Priest who had
a parish in Detroit state that:
"Automobiles and easy credit
were the cniei causes 01 me
depression". We trust that the
G.O.P. will not in their quest
for more and more money make
credit any easier also that auto
mobiles will be kept scarce and
high until people can buy more
necessary things and learn to
save their money.
At last the victorious Repub
licans have a golden opportuni
ty to prove that there are really
concerned with the welfare of
the common man." Faced with
the "lesser -of two evils"- that of
raising additional revenue by
a sales tax, or by a state income
tax the time is at hand for them
to declare a state income tax
on all incomes of $10,000.00 or
more. We are taxed enough
now without the additional
taxes that a sales levy would
cause.

The proposal was made by
Egypt and Britain and served
notice that action would be
sought at this meeting to add
teeth to the resolution. And at
that time of course the fight
will be staged on whether a
definite stand is to be taken.
Sir Hartley Shawcross of
Britain -said, "Pious speeches
are not enough. Human rights
are being trampled underfoot
in many countries today. Let
us not delay in drawing up a
bill of rights to define hate and
fundamental, liberties of man.
We intend to press for such a
bill at this session."
The resolution that was pass
ed was as follows:
"The General Assembly of the
United Nations declares' that it
is in the higher interests of hu
manity to put an immediate
end to religious and so-called
racial persecutions and discrim
ination, and calls on the govern
ments and responsible authori
ties to conform both the letter
and the- spirit of the Charter
of the United Nations and to
take the most prompt and en

marked the scen"w one of, the

was unanimously passed by the
C.I.O. convention. It demand
ed "that our government imme
diately enact a code of laws
dealing with the liateful' evil of
racial bigotry. " !.
Additionally they recognized
the fact that this is a problem
with international ramifications
and therefore added "that our
government stop quibbling and
Hght now open our doors to
thousands' of homeless and des
perate Jews in Europe."
The move squarely placed
the C.I.O. in an active position
to campaign for a Federal F.E.
P.C. law and any other legis
lation that will kill race hatred
and discrimination. This like
wise pledges them to a fair and
impartial membership campaign
in. the South.
