Owens, 723 Fifth Avenue, Pat- ton, Pa., and entered as second class mail matter May 7, 1936, at the postoffice at Patton, Pa., under the Act of March 3, 1879. F. P. Cammarata .... Business Mgr. Theos. A. Owens .... Editor Thos. Owens, Jr., Associate Editor Subscription, $2 a Year in Advance Advertising Rates on Application NATIONAL EDITORIAL SSOCIATION 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. ces by a Democratic controlled House of Representatives, most ALL of the liberal Earle legislation would have been repealed. Much had been done along that line in the 1939 legisla- ture when Republicans controlled both Houses. This war won't last for- ever, If, and when, the Republicans again have complete control, and the war is over, look out for the ‘‘smash- ing” of labor legistlation. Vote Demo- cratic! Don't let this happen! * ¥ Xx BIGGEST HANDICAP OF THE Republican campaigners in Pennsyl- vania this fall is that they are forced to uphold the James administration. * Xx ¥ OF COURSE, if people don't take any interest in going to the polls and voting, which is now the fear of both Democratic and Republican party lea- ders, because the war is upermost in our minds, most anything can hap- pen. If you are not now qualified to vote, you have a chance to register here in Patton on Saturday of next week, September 26th ,at the Fire- men’s hall. Your boys will be home from the service before the next Gov- ernor and his administration retire. Protect them now by voting! * * =» WE WILL SHORTLY HAVE GAS rationing all over the nation, and un- less one needs a car for vital pur- poses, one just wen't be able to get much gas. And speed limits will be down to 35 miles per hour—a good move, and we hope that every law enforcing agency will be put to the task of enforcing it. The people them- selves, won't save their tires, it ap- pears, so the government has to see THE PITTSBURGH K NEWSPA- pers on Monday of this week increas- ed the price of their copies from three to four cents, and stated that neces- pity for the increase was due to in- creased cost of paper stock and pro- duction, curtailment of advertising lineage, and other factors. The Sun- day editions have been raised from 10 to 12 cents a copy. It’s not only the daily newspapers, but the week- lies, too, that are faced with tough problems in these war days. We are trying our best to keep our heads above water, and to keep papers up to standard size. In Patton, and with our paper, as well as with most of the weeklies, an additional free, and cost- ly service is rendered in the furnish- of free papers to the members of the home community in the armed ser- vices. But, the newspapers are en- deavoring to do their part in helping the all-out war effort—even though we're taking it on the chin! *¥ ¥ x IT'S FORTUNATE, INDEED, that, through the medium of a so- called poll that appears daily as a syndicated service in a number of newspapers, most everything under the sun is decided from day to day in a so-called institute of public op- inion—one that, so far as we in our section are concerned likely never had any direct contact with. The Gal- lup poll tells us what people think of the war, what the people want done about the war, how the elections will turn out, what the farmers want and don't want, what the folks think of union labor, wages, prices, and most everything. It tells us most every day the trend of public opinion—but some how we imagine is is 50 per cent a guess and fifty per cent pure propa- ganda. * ¥ ¥ THE REPUBLICAN STATE PLATFORM has been pretty well de- scribed by the Pittsburgh Press of last Sunday, in the following editor- ial: “There's one thing that can be said for the Republican State Plat- form. It would be hard to use more words to sey less. The platform is just a multitude of generalities, plat- titudes, flag waving, evasion and general hokum, and anybody could agree with most of its declarations. * ¥ * “IT REMINDS US,” SAYS THE Press, “of the story about Calvin Coolidge, who was. asked on his re- turn from chufch what subject the minister had discussed. “Sin,” said Mr. Coolidge. “What did he say about 8in?” he was asked. “He was against it.” said Coolidge. So is the Republi- can platform—it’s against sin and for the flag. And its just about that spe- cific. Nobody will ever be able to pull the record in some future year and cite a specific violation of a single plank—because in no case does the Platform ever get close to being spe- cific. What the document lacked in quality it made up in length.” * x %x AS FAR AS THE PEOPLE GEN- erally are concerned they must judge the Republican party in Pennsylva- nia on what they've done in the past, and not upon what they promise, ev- en if they promise nothing in the plat- form. The same crowd that is behind General Martin were the backers of Governor James. In fact, Martin, himself, has declared, “I hope to be half as good a governor as Arthur James.” x x x THE WRITER HAS BEEN DOWN in the state legislature long enough to know convincingly that the Re- publicans in Harrisburg are definite- ly NOT interested in the bettering of the conditions of the worker. Most every test vote on any subject of that nature proved that fact conclu- sively. If the second half of the Jam- to it that they ‘do. There isn’t going to be any rubber for private cars in 1943. True, there will be rubber man- ufactured, but it will be needed for planes and jeeps and peeps and tanks and the other necessary machinery of a successful war. * ¥ x THERE WON'T BE SO MANY AU- tomobile casualties if the speed lim- its are down. There won't be so many long and needless trips if one can’t get the gas to travel. Even now, par- ticularly in the gas-rationed areas, the accidents from vehicular traffic are taking sharp downward trends. Up to September 8th in the state there were 154 fewer deaths from mo- tor accidents than in the like period of last year. What the war needs de- cree in the inconvenience of the car driver, has blessings in the life and health of the population, at least. *k¥R THE PEOPLE ARE GETTING angrier, more grim, more realistic, and they are looking toward a long- er war and a sterner peace. Most of our people think now that we should join a world union when this was is over. We are heading toward an ar- my of thirteen million men, and 1943 may bring the draftin gof married men with children. Naturaly the peo- ple think that the U. S. should take the lead in the peace to see to it that it is a lasting one. We don’t want to send millions of our present little tots with other unborn millions into ano- ther war a quarter of a century hence. EEX WITH ALL THE NEWS IN THE papers these days regarding the tax- es you'll have to pay, our advice is don’t expect to figure your tax bill until after the election. ' Leaders in Washington say passage in final form is at least two months off. We don't think the attitude of putting every- thing off until after election by the Congress, by both parties, is what the people want. They want the tru- th, they want the necessary legisla- tion in all cases of war effort now. They resent being tricked about any- thing. Fk ok YOU CAN LOOK FOR SOME kind of pay-as-you-go compromise in the final draft of the tax bill. The wisest heads in Washington admit that billions of dollars ili revenue wil go uncolected unless it is in. The pol- iticians haven't grasped the major political aspects of the new bill—that it will create a new and powerful taxpayer bloc. Up to now income tax payers have numbered three to seven millions. Next year 27 million will pay on net income, and 40 million may pay on new gross income tax.. Before next election, non-esseritial spending, general tax law reform, may be biggest issues.
