Congressman Landrum Wins
Labor Reform Fight
Congressman Phil Landrum has won
in the hardest fought battles Congress
has witnessed in many years.
On August I4th the House of Repre¬
sentative, approved the Landrum Labor
Reform Bill by a vote of 301 to 124 This
bill, sponsored by the Ninth District's
very able Congressman, ir designed to
clear up -corruption and gangsterism in
uaione and to give the rank and file union
membere a voice in the operation of their
union.
Being dissatisfied with the weak bill re
ported by the Committee, Landrum in
trodueed hie own bill to tighten up some
of the obvious defeats. His bil' immedie
!y won the support of the working people
aud the general public all over I be nation
fie was flooded with letters and telegrams
expressing approval of hie objectives
Congressman Landrum stated: “I
have consistently fought for the rights of
the working people and the email busi¬
nessman of this country and will con¬
tinue to do so in the future. I am sure
that this legislation will go a long way in
assuring tbs union member that he will
have a voice in union affairs and in how
his mousy shall be spent. It wilt also
give protection to the small businessman
who has been the "helpless victim" of
illegal secondary boycotts and blackmail

for a decline.
It will take a lot of good advertis¬
ing to bring the expected results
about. And it’s significant that news¬
papers will continue to be the re¬

The survey finds that 72% of the

unavoidable casualties of modern life.
Today this question takes on a
serious national aspect. And endeavors
to answer it are many. One big-city
institution, Boston University, recent¬
ly staged a written symposium by ten
of its faculty members. The contri¬
butions are interesting:
One should go to college for ari
education, not for vocational training;
what the colleges at any given time
happen to require is no final answer.
Only three of the participating fac¬
ulty believe that intellectual capacity
should be the sole criterion. Others
allowed room for other qualifications
and motivations.
The answer of Prof. Donald L. Oli¬
ver, director of admissions, perhaps
is representative: “The opportunity
must be there for everybody.” But
since commodated, everybody can’t go or be ac¬

want to go so earnestly that in the
competition for places their past rec¬
ord of accomplishment speaks for
them.” And of Dr. J. Wendell Yeo,

afford to act as though the only choice
open was to educate a few people ex¬
ceedingly well.”

no fairy tale with a happy ending. It
can happen again.
“On July 4, 1776, the representa¬
tives of the 13 American colonies,
meeting in the Philadelphia, severed their
ties with British crown in a noble
and eloquent document known as The
Declaration of Independence. With the
adoption of the Declarat’on, the Con¬
gress turned to other pressing tasks.
Among the most vexing was the prob¬
lem of financing the struggle for
freedom.
“Thirteen months earlier, just one
week after the Battle of Bunker Hill,
the Continental Congress had issued
its first currency—$2 million of bills
of credit. Later in 1775, and in the
next four years, there were a number
of other issues. Historians tell us the
depreciation of this paper currency
was slight and gradual through 1776.
Once the amount of printing press
dollars exceeded $20 million, however,
depreciation accelerated sharply. By
January, 1779, one silver dollars; dollar ex¬
changed for eight paper by
the end of the year, a silver dollar
was worth 40 paper dollars.
“In the following year, Congress
called in the flood of paper money,
and issued a new currency on the basis
of one new dollar for 40 old dollars.
About half the old bills were turned
in for redemption. Those still out¬
standing plummeted, and the expres¬
sion for something valueless became
‘not worth a Continental’... Although
inflation has been a fact of life
through much of this nation’s history,
no subsequent experience has com¬
pared with our first, and bitterest,
taste of inflation in the War for Inde

I ^ sm .^ a „„
Sooth lust Keep Confidence
I best “A^Irish kind, crystal-gazer, is reported to which have is been the
j consulted frequently by Queen Mother
, Elizabeth of Great Britain. English
i newspapers say he has gone to the
velvet P^ace cloth with his and crystal incense-burners ball and blue
and
magic powders and all the other im¬
plements of his profession. They say
the queen wanted to know what the
future held for Princess Margaret. The
ies palace “untrue,” indignantly brands these stor¬
as and the crystal-gazer
himself, a gentleman named Corbett,
has declined to comment, saying mere¬
ly that “crystal-gazers, like doctors,
have a code of ethics.”
Good for him! He couldn’t have
done otherwise and still worn his tur¬
ban honorably. A confidential rela¬
tionship his exists between a soothsayer
and client, and even the courts rec¬
ognize it. A case in point is Haskell
delphia vs. Budge which was tried in a Phila
court last year, by, account¬
ably, wife, fails to appear in the record.
A who suspected her husbanu
of a little out-of-town finger-snapping
employed “shadow” Budge, a soothsayer, to
him in the crystal ball.
Budge would come to the lady’s house
when the husband was allegedly on a
“business trip” and would describe in
detail to the wife exactly what the
husband was doing at any given mo¬
ment. Often when Haskell came home
and said, “I’m sorry, dear, the busi¬
ness took me a little longer than 1
expected,” his wife would slap him
right in the face.
Haskell finally sued Budge, and on
the witness stand, during his cross
examination, Budge was told by Has¬
kell’s attorney:
“So you are a soothsayer, eh ? Ali
right, so Show go ahead, say a little sooth
for us. this court how you get
your sooth.”
“I must decline to say some sooth,”
Budge replied with great dignity. “On
the ground that a confidential rela¬
clients tionship exists between myself and my
and also on the ground that
any sooth I say might tend to incrimi¬
nate me.”
This precipitated a furious argu¬
ment between counsel which Budge
interrupted by saying, “I can tell you
one thing, however. I can see in this
crystal ball that if His Honor plays
golf this afternoon, he will go around
in one under par.”
The court said, “There is a serious
legal question involved here, gentle¬
men, and the court wishes to consult
the authorities before it rules. We will
recess until tomorrow morning.”
The judge actually went around in
two under par, 10 strokes less than
the best he had played in 25 years.
The following morning he ruled that
the witness need not answer questions
concerning his future — foretelling
with clients on the grounds that the
dence. crystal ball itself was the best evi
American. — Douglas Welch in Baltimore
SIX MISTAKES
More than 2,000 years ago Cicero
listed the six mistakes of man which
are still good today, to wit:
1. The delusion that individual ad¬
vancement is made by crushing others.
2. The tendency to worry about
rected. things that cannot be changed or cor¬
3. Insisting that a thing is impos¬
sible because we cannot accomplish it.
4. Refusing to set aside trivial pref¬
erences.
5. Neglecting development and re¬
finement of the mind and not acquir¬
ing the habit of reading and study.
6. Attempting believe to compel other per¬
sons to and live as we do.
“The great voice of America does
not come from seats of learning. It
comes in a murmur from the hills and
the woods and the farms and fac¬
tories and the mills, rolling and gain¬
ing in volume until it comes to us
from the homes of the common man.”
_ —Woodrow Wilson.
