Veteran of World War II, Ex-GI
I want to thank my many friends of Organized Labor for
the splendid help and support they gave me in the Election
Primary in my race for County Attorney.
I have handled many important cases in the District
Court during the time I was in the County Attorney’s office,
and I also handled many civil cases in the District Court
before I went into the County Attorney’s office, and you can
check this by consulting with the District Clerk, or either
of the Court Reporters of the two District Courts, or with
the two District Judges. Don’t be misled by any false state-
ments that I am not competent.

My Promise to the People of Galveston County:
To break up the control heretofore existing over the
County Attorney’s office by a certain combination of Gal-
veston attorneys, and to prevent the office from passing
into the hands of a certain combination of Galveston crim-
inal attorneys who are strenuously supporting my oppon-
ent in this race.
People from all walks of life—lawyers, doctors, business
men, working men, members of the clergy, housewives—
urged me to make this race for this office.
By your vote in the first primary, when, after a short
campaign, I was the leading candidate, you showed con-
clusively that you shared, wholeheartedly, the same feel-
ing as those many good people who urged me to run.
I can assure you, the people of Galveston, that I am the
only INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE in the race, and if you
will continue to support me, I will be elected on August
28th, and I will immediately RESTORE the office of
COUNTY ATTORNEY to those to whom it belongs—YOU,
THE PEOPLE.

New York.—“Business Week” snapped back a realistic and definitive
reply to the NAM propagandists who have been shouting up and down the
land that the trend of NLRB elections under the Taft-Hartley law indicates
that American workers are cooling towards unions.

or before 10 o’clock A. M., before the
Honorable District Court of Galveston
County, at the Court House in Gal-

Said plaintiff’s petitation was filed
on the 22nd day of July, 19 48.
The file number of said suit being
No. 72,247.
The names of the parties in said
suit are: George O. Warren and wife,
Mrs. George O. Warren, as Plaintiffs,
and N. W. Pearson, a resident of

an interest in the real property here-
inafter described, as Defendants.
The nature of said suit being sub-
stantially as follows, to wit:
That on or about the 8th day of
July, A. D. 1948, plaintiffs were law-
fully seized and possessed in fee sim-
ple of all the following described
property lying and being situated in
the County of Galveston, State of Tex-
as, and more particularly described
as follows, to-wit:
Lots 3, 4, & 5 in Block 21 in the

the same adversely to all others for
a period for more than ten years
prior to the filing of this suit and for

and plaintiffs here specifically plead

Plaintiffs further allege that the
reason of the facts alleged in the pre-
ceding paragraphs of this petition,
that plaintiffs are and were prior to
the institution of this suit, the lawful
owners and possessors of the premis-
es sued for herein.
Wherefore, plaintiffs pray that-the
defendants be cited to appear herein
and that upon final hearing plain-
tiffs have judgment for title and pos-
session of the above described pre-
mises and for their damages and for
any such other and further relief
both legal and equitable to which
they may be entitled, etc., as is more
fully set forth in said plaintiffs’ ori-
ginal petition now on file in my
office.
which held a majority of the employes
for the last seven years. The union re-
fused to enter into a new contract
which contained a no-strike clause.
The election, held by the National
Labor Relations Board last April,
showed only two of the ballots cast
opposed the AFL union. The workers
decided to change their affiliation aft-
er several stormy incidents, one of
which resulted in the arrest of 182
pickets.

Washington.—As predicted by AFL President William Green, the 80th
Congress met for its special session and went home again without accom-
plishing very much in the way of legislative progress.
Winding up 13 days of talk in the middle of a Washington summer, the
legislators departed for the political battlegrounds leaving President Truman
with two limited substitutes for his sweeping anti-inflation and long-range
housing programs:
1. A credit control bill restoring wartime consumer buying regulations
and granting the Federal Reserve Board authority to increase reserve re-
quirements of member banks.
2. A “free enterprise” housing bill liberalizing government loan guaran-
tees to builders of low-cost homes and large-scale rental projects.
The Congress approved one other measure proposed by the President in
his request for a loan to the United Nations for the building of its headquar-
ters in New York City.
No action was taken on Mr. Truman’s request for the repeal of the Taft-
Hartley law or on other measures affecting labor. These included:
Excess profits tax, regulation of commodity exchanges, priority alloca-
tion of materials, tightened rent controls, rationing authority, price controls,
T-E-W public housing and slum clearance, federal aid to education, increased
minimum wage, increased social security benefits, nondiscriminatory admin-
istration of displaced persons, international wheat agreement, public power
and reclamation appropriations, increased federal pay, and civil rights legis-
lation.
The housing legislation as finally passed did not include any provision
for federally financed low-cost housing and slum clearance projects. The Sen-
ate agreed to new legislation omitting this controversial provision and thereby
broke the deadlock between Senate and House over the public housing clause
in the Taft-Ellender-Wagner long-range housing measure which had been
passed by the Senate but which was bottled up in the House Rules Committee.

The “no union” vote has risen from 19.9 per cent during the Wagner Act
period to 25.2 per cent during the Taft-Hartley Act period for which figures
are available.
“The statistician might duck an argument,” says “Business Week,” “by
maintaining that the data are not properly comparable; thatT-H figures are
still too small to show much. Yet a conclusion has been drawn and it appears
to be a wrong one.”
The conclusion which the magazine says is being spread “by some busi-
ness organizations and their spokesmen (is) that the Taft-Hartley Act offers
the American wage earner a new chance to express himself on unionism; that
National Labor Relations Board figures show that he has developed quite a
coolness toward unions.”
“Business Week” takes a year-by-year view of the Wagner Act period
which it divides by the end of the war into two parts. It shows elections won
by unions:
1945—82.9 per cent.
1946—79.5 per cent.
1947—(before T-H)—75.1 per cent.
“The 73.6 per cent shown under the T-H law seems only to be a continua-
tion of a trend," says the magazine.
The individual anti-union vote by years:
1945—20.9 per cent.
1946—24.2 percent.
—“not much different from the 25.2 per cent under the present law.”
“This trend is readily understandable," says “Business Week." “Unions
swept through the easy-to-organize industries early. They are recruiting now
in areas where resistance is tougher. It does not mean that the sentiment of
the workers has changed. Different workers are now being polled."
The article points out that the efforts of left-wing unions unable to qualify
under the anti-Communist affidavit provisions of the Taft-Hartley law are in
part responsible for “whatever rise there may be in the ‘anti-union’ sentiment
which NLRB figures are taken to reflect.”
This is due to the fact that Communist unions and locals, unable to get
on the NLRB ballot, have told its followers to vote “no union” in order to
argue later if the “no union” vote won a majority that the Communist union,
having urged a “no union” vote, was therefore properly the chosen collective
bargaining representative.
“In short, if the T-H law,” the article concludes, “is making anti-union-
ists, NLRB’s experience doesn’t show it.”

Washington. — The Veterans Ad-
minstration urged veterans who al-
lowed their National Service Life
Insurance term policies to lapse in
May or before not to wait untill
July 31, the last day to reinstate
them without passing a physical
examination, before acting.
To avoid the possibility of having
to wait in long lines on the last day
for easy reinstatement the'VA said,
veterans would be wise to obtain
quickly application forms and for-
ward them wit the required two
monthly insurance premiums.
