Republicans Misses
Great Opportunity
Says AFL Leader
• _____’
Chicago (AFLWNS).— “Disappoint-
ing’ ’is the word for the Republican
Party’s labor stand as reflected in the
platform adopted by the national con-
venion here, AFL President William
Green declared.
"The Republican Party has missed
a great opportunity,” the AFL leader
commented dryly to newspapermen
after reading the platform recom-
mendations.
He criticized the language of the
G. »O. P. labor recommendations as
"general in character and susceptible
of varied interpretations.” Particular-
ly regrettable, Mr. Green said, was
the party’s denial of labor's request
for repeal of the “notorious Connally-
Smith Act.”

and absentee ballots and always are
running for re-election has brought
about corrupt absentee voting, rig-
ging of voting machines, and no doubt
this has kept many in office who were
defeated. They, in the last election
voted people who had bene dead as
long as 14 years; many in the insane
asylum for years, forged doctor’s
names to affildavits, forged affidavits,
forged voters names and the same
notary took acknowledgments to the
affidavits. This must be stopped by
law by amending and re-writing an
election law.
Assessing county employees 10 per
cent of their salaries and more for
campaign and other purposes, must
be stopped. County employees work
for all the people and we pay their
salaries. We must have civil service
and retirement fund.
The auditor must not be-appointed
by public officials. No auditor can
audit his bosses. Dallas County books
have not been audited, or any ac-
counts for 18 years. This office costs
the people $50,000 per year and all It
does is to take financial reports from
various offices and make a consoli-
dated report. This could be done for
less than $1,000.
- Our grand jury system is rotten to
the core. There must be some law
worked out to take it away from the
politicians, so that a public official
can be indicted. It also permits poli-
ticians to prevent indictments of peo-
ple with influence and money.

ests and selfish groups. He was one
of the "Immortal 56” members of the
House of Representatives who blocked
the O'Daniel sales tax when an at-
tempt was made to place1 that burden
on the wage-earners of Texas.

The experts found the BLS yard-
stick doesn’t apply to about half the
families of the nation and doesn’t in-
clude many added expenses forced up-
on workers by war-time conditions.
If the cost of living means the amount
of money a family spends for the com-
modities and services it buys, then
"the widespread opinion*that the in-
dex grossly understates, the rise in
the cost of living is justified," their
report held.
Washington.—Aircraft output for
June was 8049 planes, a drop of 9.5
per cent from the May figures, the
Aircraft Production Board announces.
Part of the drop is attributed to the
shorter work month and part to fail-
ure to meet schedules on the part of
three companies producing smaller
types of planes, because of unusual
circumstances that arose during the
month, the board said.
C. E. Wilson, chairman of the
board, stated, however, that the pro-
duction on an overall basis followed
the pattern of the past several months
with an output in terms of airframe
weight of approximately 100,000,000
pounds, which compares with the rec-
ord output of May of 102,500000
pounds. Reduced to pounds of air-
frame produced per working day, the
past three months have been almost
equal, at just over months have been
almost equal, at just over 8,800,000
pounds per working day. Most impor-
tant however, the chairman said is
the fact that four-engine bombers re-
maid ahead of schedule.

Clay Malin, a native-born citizen of
Dallas, who recently returned to civ-
ilian life after serving in the United
States Army, has filed with the Demo-
cratic Chairman of Dallas County as
a candidate for County Clerk.
Mr. Malin served eighteen months
in the United States Army and was
recently honorably discharged. He is
a member of the Disabled War Vet-
erans American Legion, the Brother-
hood of Railway Clerks, the Young
Democrats, and the Odd Fellows. Mr.
Malin states that his platform is
based on the following:
(1) To employ as many returning
veterans of the war as possible as
deputy clerks of his office.
(2) To invoke a rigid and efficient
investigation of persons qualified to
cast absentee ballots.
(3) Have a more co-operative sys-
tem for persons desirous of procuring
birth certificates.
(4) To render a courteous and effi-
cient service to all persons.
Mr. Malin asserts that the present
incumbent has had this office for five
terms and is now running for his
sixth term of office, and that said
five terms is more than enough for
any one person to serve in any offi-
cial capacity.
Mr. Malin is thirty-six years of age
and resides at 5631 Gaston Avenue.
He was educated in the Dallas schools
and is well known for his many civic
activities.
Mr. Malin expressed himself as being
fully in accord with the principles of
Union Labor. He is an active member
of the Brotherhood of Railroad Clerks
and because of his contacts with La-
bor fully sympathizes with their
needs.

L
tion of Labor leaders will examine
carefully the staetments made by the
Republican Presidential nominee,
Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New
York, during the coming campaign for
further light on what the Republican
Party has to offer the workers of the
nation.
In his acceptance speech before the
convention. Governor Dewey empha-
sized his determination, if elected, to
provide jobs for all during the post-
war period and assailed the Roose-
velt Administration for having to de-
pend on the war to solve the nation's
unemployment problems. He also
accused the New Deal of "wrangling,
bungling and confusion” in handling
labor relations and other vital mat-
ters, such as price control, rationing,
manpower and taxation.
Careful examination of the G. O. P.
labor plank shows that only one of
the American Federation of Labor's
recommendations to the Resolutions
Committee was wholly and clearly
Washington.—The WLB announced
its decision on all issues involved in
the dispute cases involving 77 Pa-
cific Northwest pine fir lumber oper-
ators and approximately 130,000 work-
ers represented by the International
Woodworkers of America, CIO. and
the Northwestern Council, Lumber
and Sawmill Workers, AFL.
The board, with labor members dis-
senting, reaffirmed its directive of
May 17, denying a general wage in-
crease, and upheld previous direc-
tives of the West Coast Lumber Com-
mission, with relatively minor excep-
tions. The commission directives ex-
tended the payment of the night shift
differential of 25 cents a shift to the
pine industry, established a safety
program for some operations and also
provided for differentials of 25 cents a
shift for the second shift and 40 cents
a shift for the third shift in the ply-
wood operations of the Douglas Fir
regions.
Both unions had demanded general
wage increases, contending that their
cases fell in the "rare and unusual"
acse category and that increases be-
yond those permissible under regular
wage stabilization standards should
be granted to meet the critical needs
of war production.
IB a majority opinion, Dexter M.
Keezer, public member, stated that
the board majority recognized the
critical manpower situation in the in-
dustry, but found that the record pre-
sented no convincing evidence that
the manpower problem could be solv-
ed or even materially relieved by a
general wage increase.
Agreeing with the idea that the war
veterans of the state should not be
neglected, Mr. Blankenship co-spon-
sored ’ legislation requirl ig state de-

There is reported to be over 200

There are entirely too many rela-
tives and employees connected with .
the county government holding our
elections. This is dishonest govern-
ment and leads to graft and corrup-
tion.
When elected to the legislature I
will devote a great deal of time to
stopping the above misuses in gov-
ernment. We must get back to the
democratic rule "two terms and no
more.” Our public officials have been
in office so long no one can remem-
ber when they were first elected.
I was fair to labor when I was
your Senator for one term. For years
when I railroaded I belonged to the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks. If
you believe in my program of passing
some laws that are conducive to good
government, I would appreciate your
vote and influence.
Organized Labor Will Play a
very definite part in the com-
ing election. Members of la-
bor have their poll tax receipts
and they will use them on elec-
tion day to elect their friends
and defeat their enemies. Many
of those, who are afraid of la-
bor’s vote are trying to put out
the old ’“red herring” that la-
bor will not stick together.
Well, just wait until next week,
July 22,[labor will demonstrate
very clearly that they will
stick together. They have been
kicked and cuffed around until
they are now mad and those
that have been doing the boot-
ing will feel the weight of their
wrath on election day.

Yard here is given a good share of

In a recent coast to coast broad-
mast, Rear Admiral Mayion S. Tis-
dale, Commandant of the Mare Island
Yard, said, "I am convinced that the
excellent messing system at Mare Is-
land merits an important share of the
credit for these awards.”
The cafeteria which grossed $3,500,-
000 in 1943, grew from a small begin-
ning as Firemen's Mess. Expansion
began when the workers raised $1,100
for new equipment by passing the
hat, and reached new proportions un-
der wartime demands.
Approximately 42,000 meals are
served daily, at cost. Profits from
canteen items underwrite the over-
head and operation loss.
Our local meeting day has been
changed from first Monday to the
first Friday of each month, as it was,
originally.
We are continuing to buy War

really represents labor.
The platform did not call for
amendment of the National Labor
Relations Act to protect craft work-
ers, as the AFL asked, but .vaguely
pledged "an end to political trickery
in the administration of labor laws
and the handling of labor disputes.”
It was pointed out that this language
might very well have been intended
as suport for Sewell Avery’s recal-
cintrant stand against the National
War Labor Board in the Montgomery-
Ward acse.
The Republican Party according to
the platform, "accepts the purposes
of the National Labor Relations Act,
the Social Security Act, the Wage and
Hour Act and all other Federal stat-
utes designed to promote the welfare
of American working men and wom-
en. and we promise a fair and just
administration of these laws.”
But this statement fell far short of
endorsement of the Wagner-Murray
Dingell social security amendments
sponsored by the AFL. In fact, the
"security” plank of the platform
flatly rejected the AFL demand for
an effective national employment
service by urging the return of public
employment systems “to the States
at the earliest possible time.”
During the early part of the con-
vention, William L. Hutcheson, presi-
dent of the International Brotherhood

announced his candidacy for the Re-
publican Vice-Presidential nomina-
tion. However, his name was not pre-
sented to the; convention as the dele-
gates stampeded to a unanimous nomi-
nation of Governor John Bricker of
Ohio, for Vice President. In the pre-
convention campaign, Gov. Bricker
made several speeches which attacked

Blankenship has enjoyed the sup-
port of organized labor in Dallas
County at all times during his serv-
ice in the Legislature and a glance
at his record shows him to be friendly
to labor 75 per cent of the time. Mr.
Harry W. Acreman, Texas State Fed-
eration of Labor representative in
Austin, reports that Blankenship
voted for labor fifteen times and
against labor five times. Only few
other men in the Legislature have a
better record for labor than Blanken-
ship.
As testimony to Blankenship's pop-
ularity among his fellow legislators
and his reputation as an outstanding
leader in the Legislature, [he has been
