The endeavor of the Union Press-
Courier is to sincerdly and honestly
represent Trade Union Workers in
efforts to obtain econemic freedom
through organizations as advocated
by the CIO and AFL, and we solicit
the support of trade uniens. Mater-
ial for publication must be author-
ized by the organization it repre-
sents and signed by the Presiaent ,
and secretary, and bear the seal.
he 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 cove |

major m?ning towns.

Back the day before the paper is|
published from a week's absence from |
the business, we are somewhat out of |
touch with matters locally. But what |
we have missed at home we have like- |
ly gained in a bit more knowledge of
things rather more worth while than
war talk, political talk and the gen-
eral thoughts that usually pest the |
small business man. With the family |
we took the World's Fair, and a
bit of travel in New England and New |
York State. And its hard to go back
to work. Political talk hasn't subsid-
ed any, in our absence, we take it, by
messages left for us. Business is like- |
ly better than when we left last week. |
Here, just the same as elsewhere the
predominating thought seems to be
that America must stay out of any Eu-
ropean war. The thought is the same
all over the ion. Never again
should the United States mess in Eu-
ropean affairs and wars, with nothing
ing to gain and all to lose.

Declaring that young men and
women get in trcuble today because
they do not obey their parents,
President Judge John H. McCann on
Monday sentenced two Spangler
young men, to each serve three mon-
ths to three years in the county jail,
after they had pleaded guilty to the
larceny of an aute belonging to a
Spangler resident. “The great trou-
ble with young men and women to-
day is that they will not obey their
parents,” Judge McCann said. “In-
stead of obeying them, they stay out
until all hours of the night and
cause only worry to their parents. If
the young people would show more
respect to their parents they would
not be involved in trouble with the
law.”” The other day we visited at
Sing-Sing Prison in New York—and
it being Sunday and visitors’ day,
we couldn't help but notice the
“forlorn” look on many of the rela-
tives who were about. One could
nearly pick out the people who haa
some of their “folks” behind the
wall. In a restaurant we noticed a
young woman whom we “pictured”
with a husband in prison. Perhaps,
we were wrong in our guess—but
somehow the distant look she had,
gave the impression that her life was
one of waiting—for the day when a
husband was released. And her hus-
band was likely young, too. Perhaps
he did not listen to his parents when
still younger.

Legislation dealing with neutrality and its allied subjects will face
the present special session of congress called by proclamation of President
Roosevelt.
Despite the chief executive's previously expressed wish that
senate and house act quickly on his request for repeal of the arms embargo
and then go home, attempts are being made to broaden discussion of non-
emergency legislation.

Congressman Harve Tibbott. He poin-

Senator Haluska contends that with
the younger and more able-bodied
WPA workers being recalled to the
steel mills and mines, the bur-
den of “lower wages and higher living
costs” will deal in a cruel manner

THE REAL ISSUE.
Talk as you please about everything
else, but the big, outstanding issue to
confront the people of the United Sta-
‘tes in the 1940 campaign will be that
of unemployment. Until that problem
is solved all other issues must and will
sink into insignificance. Whenever the |
idle millions are given an opportunity
to work and earn a living this country
will become prosperous, but prosper-
ity will not come back to us until that
time arrives. Prosperity depends so-
lely upon the earning power of the
people. Politicians, Senators, Congress-
men and so-called statesmen may rave
and rant to the utmost extent of their
ability upon all lateral subjects but
they will accomplish nothing construc.
tive toward improving the condition of
The American people until they pro-
vide a plan for putting idle people
back to work. It is their duty to bring
industry and business to a realization
of the necessity for their cooperation in
this vital movement. Will they do it?
What hope is there for a return of |
prosperity when ten million American
men and women are deprived of the
opportunity to work and earn a living.
This deplorable situation stands as a
challenge to business, industry and
present-day statesmen. This challenge |
| has been ignored long enough. To ig- |
nore it further constitutes a menace to
the stability of the nation. Those who |
are in position to remedy this situa- |
tion must do something about it.
