The endeavor of the Union Press-
Courier is to sincerely and honestly
represent Trade Union Workers in
efforts to obtain economic freedom
through organizations as advocated
by the CIO and AFL, and we solicit
the support of trade unions. Mater-
ial for publication must be author-
ized by the organization it repre-
sents and signed by the President
and secretary, and bear the seal.
The Union Press-Courier gives its
advertisers the advantage of the
combined circulation of the two
largest circulated weeklies in Cam-
bria County and has a reader cov-
erage that blankets Patton and the
major mining towns.
———————
The movement during part of last
week and all of this week by the
Chain Stores and many of the inde-
pendent merchants over the State in
observing “Pennsylvania Days’ is well
worthy of mention. After all, one of
the better ways to heip our own state,
is to ourselves utilize its products,
znd its manufactures. Too often, we
fall for “Maine Potatoes” for example,
when this good old Keystone state,
has them just as good. One way to
make prosperity for Pennsylvania is
to “Buy Pennsylvania” and all these
stores which have joined the move-
ment, are heading in the right direc-
tion.
Senator John J. Haluska this week
is propesing an investigation into
WPA, DPA, the Highway Depart-
ment, Etc, in Cambria County, in
the State Senate; and is likely to cut
some ice if he gets the idea across.
Even if he is'nt successful, it is li-
kely that there will be quite a num-
ber of probers in our midst. Wash-
ington has been asked to put sev-
eral undercover men on the job with
instructions to pry into charges pay
10lls have been padded, workmen
coerced. jobs sold and favoritism
shown in the distribution of WPA
patronage. Some folks say the Sena-
tor is particularly aiming at the co-
unty highway unit, and some fac-
tions in the WPA setup.
J
Matters have been so mysterious in
WPA, and have been made a lot more
so with publicity as given by the Edi-
torial Director of the Johnstown Dem-
ocrat. Anyway, it might prove interes-
ting if a really honest-to-goodness in-
vestigation were made.

Members of the Cambria County
Board of Public Assistance, received
their “Walking Papers” from Gover-
nor James during the week. All of
them, only five siill remaining, are
Democrats. But, inasmuch as there
is no salary connecied with the job
—we don’t suppose there's much
worrying.
One sees lots of jittery, furtive-eyed
individuals these cays. They are some
of the folks who. were so jubilant back
a few months ago. Now its different.
They eye one anoctner with distrust
They are the Republicans. Maybe they
are just some of the Republicans. But
they are a great number of the Repub-
licans. And they wont jobs. And most
of them won't get any. And they’re all
afraid their fellow Republican will be
able to “pull” something. And they're
friends or: the surface and enemies at
heart. And even a Democrat rates
higher in some of the minds than do
their own dearly “beloved” brethren.
®
It’s all right perhaps, to make some
of those wicked alleged Democratic
chiselers pay back certain alleged
misused or unearned funds, and we
do trust our good Governor also
sees to it that a former Superior
Court Justice who received about
$15,000 in salary he never earned,
while he was campaigning for a high
state office, also is made to “cough-
up.”
°
A lot of automobile drivers who had
sent in sufficiently in advance to re-
ceive their auto drivers licenses didn't
1cceive them in time for the deadline
last week, and consequently our econ-
omical Governor extended the time
until Wednesday of this week. The
Department of Revenue stated that for
economy's sake the licenses have been
cent out third class mail. But there are
some others outsidz the administration
who claim that lack of sufficient help
and alsc lackw of efficient help
down in the Department of Revenue
cffice may be the prim reason.
®
They are trying again to drive Ma-
dame Secretary Perkins out of the
cabinet. We suspicion that maybe
its not exactly the thought of the
common man and woman that such
should be dene. The madame has
been endeavoring to do a lot toward
bringing about a labor peace. Busi-
ness claims that such a peace would
zo far toward restoration of better
conditions. Miss Perkins is in a pe-
culiar position. Conservative em-
ployers hate her because she is pro-
labor; the CIO thinks she is a re-
actionary and the AFL says she is
too radical. The bureaucrats object
because they can’t control her, while

"expanded the model. But now that
the Republicans are back in the saddle
again, their indignation is cooling.
They showed that last week, when
i cious practice of ‘macing” payrollers,
the academic reformers complain
that she doesn’t crack down on the
bureaucrats. Since all of these criti-
cisms cancel themseives the histor- |
ian will have to hunt for a deeper
cause. Maybe its because she doesn’t
happen to be a man, and doesn’t
chew tobacco.

When they were the minority party
in Harrisburg, the Republicans were
loud in their denunciation of the vis-
and boy, oh boy, did'nt we hear lots
about it right here in Cambria Coun-
'y. They made so, much noise about it
in fact that a lot of folks completely
forgot it was a G. O. P. invention any-
how, and the Democrats, in their res-
they blocked Democratic efforts to
put some real teeth in a Republican
sponsored anti-macing act.
.
The Republican bill merety pre- |
vents politicians from “demanding”
contributions from payrollers. The |
Democrats proposed an amendment |
to prohibit political parties from ac-
cepting payrollers’ contributions.
That was voted down. So was an
amendment prohibiting politicians
from soliciting contributions. As fi- |
nally passed, the bill simply re-en-
acts a law that stood upon the sta-
tute books for 42 years until its re-
peal by the Democrats two years ago.
And during these forty-two years,
Republicans soaked it to the pay-
rollers for forty years and the Dem-
ocrats for only two years.
*
All of which leads us to suspect that |
the Republicans were only against |
“macing” simply because they weren't |
benefitting by it. Now that they are |
in a position to profit by the practice, |
they are making certain that the door |
is left open for “macing’—in case they
Ister want to do a little themselves. |
The Democrats, of course, deserve no |
bouquets for their efforts to enact a |
real anti-macing law. They aren't ag- |
ainst macing either, as their own ac- |
tions showed. They simply were trying

| elsewhere. Atheism and paganism are

| tions swiftly towards bankruptcy and
| chaos. Armed aggressors are on
| rampage and the only law they recog-
to put their Republican oponents on
the spot and force them to do a little!
squirming. In that they succeeded. We
predict that we will hear less and less
about the macing evils from now on,
from Republicans. and it will be inter-
esting to note whether the Republi- |
cans who are on thé pay roll in Cam-
bria county this fall, won't ce rather
substantial contributors to the cam-
paign fund.
®
Now that the windows or tne state
liquor stores are devoid of anything
that even hints at the merchandise
sold within, as per order of the Gov-
ernor, some utilization of all this
wasted space should be made—for |
good old economy’s sake!

Breaking with he 164 year o!d tra-
dition that the retiring Papal Secre-
tary of State never wins the election
the Sacred College last week named |
Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli the 262nd
successor to the Throne of St. Peter, |
as
Pope Pius XII. Seidom has a Pope as-
der attack on many fronts. Persecu-
have been and are being destroyed in
Catholics are under
in Mexico, Germany, Spain and
rampant in the world. Politically,
mcrally and economically, civilization
faces one of the most dangerous times
the
nize is the law of the jungle. Such is
the savage world the new Fontiff is
facing.
®
For the above and other reasons,
the Frinces of the Catholic Church,
gathered in Vatican City, could
scarcely have made a better selec-
tion. And that they had all this in
mind when they came to vote is not
tno be doubted. Pius XII is a great
and good man with a wide experi-
ence in diplomacy. He has one of
the most brilliani minds in the
church. He can hold his own with.
the strongest of the world’s states-
men. His influence stands far be-
yond his own flock. His influence is
peace, and good will among nations
and among people

Apparantly the miners of District
No. 2 don’t think a lot of some of the
movements made by the James’ ad-
ministration at Harrisburg. At their
special scale committee convention
recently held at DuBois, representa-
tives took direct pokes at Major
Lynn Adams and the state’s econo-
my move in general. Adams was
condemned becausc of alleged activ-
ities against labor when he was heaa
of the state police, and the conven-
tion went on record as opposing con-
firmation of Adams. Governor Ar-
thur H. James’ economy moves re-
ceived slaps from the miners when
they condemned the action of the
state in reducing the force of min-
ing inspectors. The miners stated
there were altogether too few in-
spector: in the districts.
