{who in November of this year

EDITORIAL VIEWS AND COMMENT
Without any particular stress
on the merits or demerits of the
situation that has been facing the
coal miners, but with a wider
viewpoint in mind, may we sug-
gest to our readers that even
though organized labor has become
strong during the past dozen or
so years, the thought of many
of the national business leaders
is not, and never has been, in any
sincere way, favorable to any or-
ganization of those who are em-
ployed by them.
°
Of course there are many ex-
ceptions to this line of thought
among humane employers, but
the fact remains that perhaps
a majority of the larger indus-
trialists don’t like organized la-
bor movements, don’t like laws
protecting the rights of labor
as intended in our constitution,
and as intended in the much
more recently enacted liberal
laws of this county, most of
which can be dated only from
the first term of Franklin D.
Roosevelt as President.

some of the great industrialists
who haven't forgotten the theo-
ry that labor must become dis-
organized. When such thoughts
enter your mind, hearken back
to the days of your own experi-
ence, All labor leaders today
well know that there's a big
battle ahead. To win the fight,
public opinion must be with
them. Real public opinion, not
such as is distorted by propa-
ganda—and the “big boys” will
place plenty of propaganda be-
fore the public, and are doing
it right now.
It is unfortunate for labor that
the nation’s daily press is almost
solidly against them-—and always
have been so inclined. Most of the
big city dailies are ‘big business”
themselves, and portray the in-
terests of their kind. Lately, the
radio commentators, generally, are
not favorable to labor. There's
always a tendency to magnify the
small things. Seldom is labor giv-
en praise for what it has accom-
plished. But, if we—all of us—in
the common walks of life, right
here in Northern Cambria County,
have any desire to maintain the
standard of living we now enjoy,
we MUST stick with labor.
»
Remember how tight money
was back in those depression
days here in Patton? Remem-
ber the time we had a little
weaving industry on the ‘string’
that would have moved their
plant from a nearby county to
Patton, providing our local bus-
inessmen paid for the moving?
That required fifteen hundred
dollars. The businessmen had a
number of meetings, but there
wasn’t fifteen hundred dollars in
loose cash in the crowd. So the
knitting factory didn’t come.
* ’
UNION PRESS - COURIER
Don’t, therefore, misinterpret
the signs of today. There's an
organized “union-busting” cam-
paign in the air. Should this
campaign prove successful, we'll
see the day again when there
won't be any loose change in
the pockets of most of us. We
can have a contented, happy and
prosperous nation—and commu-
nity—only when labor is strong
and can protect itself. For from
the channels of labor comes our
own prosperity, or ruin.
.
All of the above is not a very
cheery message to be publishing |
in the pre-Holiday season. But |
if we want our holidays to re- |
main happy, if we want our chil- |
dren to enjoy the God-given right
we feel is theirs—let us not, by |
deed or action, help cast aside the |
idea that only by organization can |
{the great masses of the people |
protect themselves.
