The endeavor of the Union Press-
Courier is to sincerely 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 Presiucni
anu secretary, and bear the seal.
The Union Press-Courier gives its
advertisers the advantage of the
combined circulation of the two |
largest circulated weekles in Cam-
bria County and has a reader cov
erage that blankets Patton and the
jor mi*aing towns.
From time immemorial, from the
time when Republicans first became
a political power in Cambria Coun-
ty, from the time they were in their
zenith of power, and from the time
they were in their decline in poli-
cal power in Cambria county, the
Republicans of the northern part of
Cambria county have always been
played for a bunch of suckers by
their Republican bretheren of the
south of the county, and the Johns-
town area and once again when the
nominations were made at the pri-
mary, the same old rule still prov-
ed to be just as good and true as
ever. “No candidate from the north-
ern section of the county” (at least
north of Ebensburg, should be per-
mitted to grace the good old court
house at Ebensburg. It might prove
contaminating. . In the = September
primaries, north of the county Re-
publicans made an honest effort to
nominate some candidates, but, as
usual, they got it in’ the neck. Even
to the extent of nominating weak
candidates from the south of the
county, were good men in the Re-
publican camp turned down decis-
ively by their brethren. Hence, at
some of these Republican political
rallies it must be a bit galling for
some of the party workers to get so
very enthusiastic about the ticket,
at least as a whole.
°
Democratic voters in the south of |
the county were not quite such selfish |
folks. They helped the north of the |
county nominate a truly representa-
tive ticket—a ticket composed of can-
didates who live and come from all |
parts of the county. Up here in the ex-
treme north (where no Republicans
ever land a nomination) the Demo-
crats have three nominees, in the per-
sons of Coroner Patrick McDermott,
up for re-election; of Dennis L. Wes-
trick, who has made such a fine rec-
ord in the assembly, for county con-
troller; and in Senator John J. Hal-
uska, who will be elected the next
treasurer of Cambria County. And,
like it or not, there are many Re-
publicans who will vote for these men
for the simple reason that they are the
only men who live close to them,
whom they have personally known
for years, and who also feel that the
north of the county is entitled to be |
represented at Ebensburg.
*
Next Tuesday is election day. We
ask voters to glance at the map of
Cambria county, and see how repre-
sentation is accorded by comparing
Republican thought and Democratic
belief. In the Republican county
map you will find the names of all
candidates hinging in the Johns-
town area, with one bare exception.
And the bare exception is no farther
north than Ebensburg. A glance at
the Democrat map reveals the very
best of apportionment geographical-
ly. As mentioned above, there are
three candidates living in and
to the north of Patton; two come
from Ebensburg; another from Cres-
son; the next from down at Portage,
and another farther south, from the
township of Croyle. That leaves but
three to be accounted for, and these
three do live in Johnstown, and
do complete one of the most repre-
sentative all county tickets ever pla-
ced before the voters of Cambria.

And, because this newspaper pins all
its hopes and all its humble help in
the cause of organized labor, and in!
the furtherence of the aims for better
wages and better living conditions for
the man and woman who toils, it is|
heartily in accord with the indorse-
ment given by Labor's Non-Partisan |
League last Sunday afternoon to the |
entire state and county Democratic
ticket. Labor can not be given blame |
for the stand it is taking in a black- |
out of Republican nominees. What
the James administration in this state
has already done to cripple the legis-
lation labor sought for years, and did
obtain in the recent Earle administra- |
tion, is suffiicent cause for them to
look askance at perhaps every Repub- |
lican nominee on the county ticket, |
for the reason that it can be conclud-
ed that all of them are likely with the |
James reactionary administration in
its “achievernents” to do all it can for
capital and take away what it can |
from labor. There is every reason for
labor to believe that the Republican |
nominees in Cambria county, last year, |
were supporters of the Republican
ticket. There is every reason to be-
lieve that there thoughts still remain
in harmony with what the state ad-
ministration has done. Individually,
they’ll tell labor “they are not respon-

Postural or orthopedic defects were

they are candidates running on their

| tory come to Cambria County, and it
can only come if and when a large per-
centage of organized labor helps, and
| you can well rest assured that Labor
| won't get any credit, or any help, or
any more consideration from those
victors than they have in the past. If
there hadn't been a lot of organized

| es last year, and voted for him, de-
spite warnings from their leaders,
their protection and security today
would be in better shape and the |
jeopardy of still further encroach-
| ments on legislation beneficial to
| their interests would not be evident.
°
Hence, in the north oi the coun-
ty, we ask, what have the Republi-
cans to offer that should entice the
voters of the Democratic faith, or
even, for that matter, of their own
faith? Only this—a nearly entirley

| lone candidate from Ebensburg, who |
| we grant, is fully capable, but who |
is competing a tried, true and hon-
est hard-working Judge, now serv-
ing his first term on the common
pleas bench, and who is entitled by
his conscientious service, to re-elec-
tion. Incidently, the Republican
contender for the Judicial honors,
| was the Chairman for Judge James
in his primary campaign last year, |
was the county Republican chair- |
man at the election last year, and is |
|
|
|
still the Republican county chair-
man, although inactive because he
is a candidate. You laboring men
and women, who have every causs
to condemn the activities against
you made by the James administra- |
tion, can judge for yourself wheth- |
er or not you want Governor James’
“No. 1 man” in Cambria County el-
ected or not.
. |
And, while the election so far has
had some whispered and other ma-
licious propaganda injected, as yet, it
has all been done under cover and by
word of mouth—and these stories, |
coming from either side, should be
taken in at one ear and ejected im-
mediately through the other. Of cour-
se there are misleading statements in |
the Republican press relative to a ‘spe. |
cial’ election’ that would have to be
held in the event that a State Sena-
tor and two assemblymen might be |
elected to county offices, and all the |
attendant expense that would be in-
curred because of this fact. Which is
all BUNK. These officials have already |
completed their duties unless a spe- |
cial session of the legislature is call- |
ed next year, and then, the legislature |
and senate judge for themselves what
| they want to do. But, at any rate, you
can rest fully assured there will be no
special election. The story, of course,
makes good Republican campaign ma- |
terial—and material is something that |
| is sadly needed in the county Repub- |
lican camp.
°
Republican weekly newspapers in
this county are shouting, and print-
ing, “Vote the Straight Republican
ticket. Why, we ask you, should any
one who toils for a living, or any-
one else vote the straight ticket?
We aren't advocating any such a |
thing, but we do ask you to com-
pare, man for man, the candidates
on both tickets, and what has been
their attitude toward labor, what
has been their attitude to James’ ad- |
ministration, what has been their
record of the past, and for your own
sakes, vote for the men who are for
YOU—and not only for you through
lip service. Governor James gave
you lip service last year, and you
know what you received.

appears any matter of an unsavory |
nature attacking any candidate of any |
party, you know what to do. Printed |
matter of this kind is executed for |
| only one purpose—ito fool you at the |

sured our office will print nothing of |
that nature, regardless of party.

COAL INDUSTRY IS
GIVEN A WARNING
ON THE WAR BOOM
New York.—Secretary of the Inter-
ior Harold L. Ickes, counseled the Na-
tional Coal Association last week to
safeguard the industry against the
danger of a war boom and resultant
peace time reactions.
Delegates to the 22nd annual con-
vention of bituminous producers, re-
presenting 75 per cent of the total
commercial tonnage, heard the cabi-
net member say that “coal operators
alone among the industrialists were in
position because of the Guffey Act,”
tc cope with the economic aftermath
of an European war.”
“You are ready to enjoy whateyer
benefits you may derive from a possi-
ble war boom with comparative con-
fidence that you are not neglecting

Ickes said the coal act enabled pro-
ducers to “protect yoursel
the too-great hazards of an unpredic-
table future.”
“If a war boom should come
face the possibility of a post war de-
pression with an assurance that there
will be a bottom to your prices for
coal-——a level which can be readjust-
ed, but which cannot drop so low as
to bring ruin and destruction to you,
your stockholders and your workers.”
