Time for Labor to Take
Stock
There _ is . an article in , the , June issue . of ,
tbe we heartily , A TrtX an re^mmp recommend r n V d T^Lm^s to all members
of labor unions. It was written by Victor
Riesei, prominent and extremely capable
newspaper co umnist.
In his article Riesel tells of how the
gangsters and goons have taken over di
rection of many of the labor unions of how
they have milked the members of count
less thousands of dollars and of how ,n
many instances they have employed
I * strong-armed” tactics to secure their aims.
It is a thought-provoking and eye-open
mg article.
The average citizen is normally in fa
vor of labor receiving a square-deal from
management. At the same time, the aver
age citizen does not wish to see that same
group of people victimized nor does the
average citizen have any desire to see man
agement, or capital, the victims of mis
guided principles of the goons who now
seem to infest many of the,unions.
We remember reading a thorough and
Vmpathetic book of the history of the la'
bor movement. We remember the trouble
the early labor martyrs had in securing
*ny decent concessions from management,
Ve remember the cruel tactics of many of
the business tycoons of that era, their
greed and callousness at the misery of la
bor. We remember being glad that the
unions had been organized and had se¬
cured many benefits for their people.

Now we have reached the stage in
thinking when we believe the unions,
a whole, have over stepped their
They have made the mistake of
goons and communists to take over
tion of many of them. They have, in
humble opinion, allowed themselves to
too far in their attacks on management
capital.
For instance, labor itself has now
come big business. Old Samuel
one of the pioneers in the labor
and once president of the powerful
ican Federation of Labor, held the job
only a dollar or two a week. John L.
is, as president of only one union,
draws a salary of $50,000 per year
the same amount as “expense”
James C. Petrillo, boss of the
unions, draws down some $76,000
year. The union treasuries are
with millions of dollars in cash, govern¬
ment bonds, business, securities, etc. What
does it take to become “big business”?
We are still sympathetic to the princi¬
ples of labor unions. But we think the time
has come when they must take stock of
their membership — and when they must
expel those who are greedy, dishonest, vi¬
cious, communistic, etc. The recent strike
in a small supplying plant for one' of the
big automobile manufacturers shows how
laboring men and women who are not be
ing discriminated against are victims of
strikes. Thousands of other employees, ap

Wheat Information
Needed Now
According to Mr. R. F. Hicks,
Chairman of Crawford County
PMA Committee, only a few farm¬
ers have reported the number of
acreage of wheat they had to
the County Office for 1951-1952-
1953,
Mr. Hicks stated this informa¬
tion is needed right away in or¬
der that each farm growing wheat
in Crawford County might receive
an allotment representing its
share.
This information must be col¬
lected at once in order that the
Secretary of Agriculture can car¬
ry out the law on allotment pro¬
grams. This legislation directs him
to proclaim by July 15 a national
i wheat acreage allotment for the
1954 crop of wheat. Acreage al¬
lotments must be proclaimed each
year
that a national emegency exists
or a material increase in exports
is expected. Secretary Benson has
stated that he will make no final
decision on 1954 wheat controls
until the latest possible informa¬
tion is available before the dead¬
line.
