The endeavor of the Union Press- Courier is to sincerely and honestly represent Trade Union Workers in efiorts to obtain econemic freedom through organizations as advocated py ihe CIO and AFL, and we solicit the support of trade uniens.

The reason is obvious. There have been impos- ters at work and the organization has suffered. Likewise, we have no aoubt, some of the solicitors that come nearty daily to our office, in tne guise of representing this or that organization, too, are impostors, We have heard a story told for many years of a man who resides in the north of the county who daily dons a uniform representing nothing in particular, and hies himself to points at some considerable distance and proceeds to “collect.” We are rath- er sure he is still doing it. When you are approached by the charity solicitor, be sure you satisfy your- self that he is a bonafide represen- tative of a real charity.

Perhaps the north of the county is pretty much to blame for the criticism. In the past they have usually entered not one, but several rather strong can- didates for the same offices at the primaries. The south of the county has had some knack of centering a bit on one candidate. Result: the north of the county gets the empty bag. This year will be no excep- tion. Strong candidates here in the north have announced intention of being candidates for the same office at the primary. Final result, will be the south of the county will be giv- en the nominations. It’s the old, old, story of “united we stand, divided we fall”, and this year we're getting all ready to “fall” again. ° Before he was elected State Senator white haired Joseph P.

This time the request has come from two sources — State Investigator Ackerman of Al- toona, and Chiet of Police V. J. Bender. Ackerman has expressed his intention of shortly making a clean-up of all un- licensed dogs in this section, and has had numerous complaints of dogs, li- censed as well as unlicensed running at large, particularly at night.

The number of applicants in our county alone outnumber by the hundreds the jobs can provide for them. If the jobs are held up, it is contended the disappointed Republi- can would be angered but could not go over to the Democrats without sacrificing entirely any opportunity to go on the state pay roll ultimate- ly. Moreover, activity by a job seek- er in behalf of the party ticket, showing results at the polls, might improve his chance of acquiring a berth after the election. A further argument made is that many of the Democrats holding state jobs, if not disturbed, probably would not be inclined to activity in behalf of the Democratic ticket in the fall, cling- ing to the hope that they might hang on indefinitely.
