Veščaki ameriške vojaške vlade so izjavili, da je skoro tisoč tovarn zaprlo vrata in da bo število brezposelnih delavcev poskočilo na 200,000 v tem tednu. Samo v ameriškem predelu Berlina je 409 tovarn ustavilo obrat. Ameriška in britska letala do-važajo premog v zapadni Berlin, toda oblasti priznavajo, da ne bo kril potreb industrij. Pred oklicem ruske blokade so vlaki vozili premog v Berlin. Zaradi pomanjkanja premoga so zapad-ne države odredile znižanje porabe električne sile. fJeki ameriški uradnik je dejal, da je problem resen. Nemška administracija Berlina je določila potrošnjo 75,000,-000 mark (okrog $22,500,000) za gradnjo javnih del. Brezposelni delavci bodo podirali stene razdejanih poslopij in lepšali parke. Denarne reforme, katere so uveljavile zapadne države, povzročajo glavobol upraviteljem tovarn. Rusi nočejo pošiljati živil in drugih potrebščin v zapadni Berlin. Ameriška radio-postaja poroča, da so Rusi razdejali ž?U*n$koj?rogo jroed Ser-llribm In žapadno Nemčijo. Dvanajst ruskih letal se je pojavilo v zračnem koridorju med Berlinom in zapadno Nemčijo. Maršal Vasilij Sokolovski je prej obvestil zapadne države, da bodo imeli ruski letalci manevre v koridorju. Wssklng|On. D. C.. 20. jul.— Predsednik Truman je sklical konferenco članov generslnega štaba, ker se je kriza v Berlinu zaradi ruske blokade poostrila. Naznanil je, da se bosta konfe-fence udeležila tudi John Foster Dulles, svetovalec newyorškega governerja Deweyja, predsedniškega kandidata republikanske stranke, in britski poslanik Oli-ver Franks. Dulles je imel razgovor z državnim tajnikom Mar-shallom pred sklicanjem konference. Možnost ie. ds bodo Amerika, Velika Britanija in Francija naslovila nove note Moskvi z za htevo, naj sovieti prekličejo blokado zapadnega Berlina. .Prejšnje proteste je sovjetska vlada zavrnila. V odgovoru je obdol- Pogajanja med unijo in kompanijo Prizadevanja za odvrnitev stavke Detroit. Mich.. 20. jul.—Walter P. Reuther, predsednik unije združenih avtnih delavcev CIO, je direktno apeliral na Henry j a Forda, naj podpre prizadevanja za odvrnitev stavke proti Ford Motor Co. Ford se je odzval apelu in se izrekel za obnovo pogajanj z unijo, ki so bila pretrgana 4. julija. V tovarnah kompanije v Detroitu in drugih mestih je uposlcnih o-krog 116,000 delavcev, članov unije. Unija in kompanija sta naznanili, da se bodo pogajanja v svrho sklenitve sporazuma o pogodbi obnovila danes. Reuther je naslovil apel Fordu potem, ko je eksekutivni odbor unije soglasno odobril oklic stavke proti Ford Motor Co. V apelu je Reuther poudaril resnost situacije. "Ako Ford Motor Co. gleda na situacijo v isti luči kot unija, je obnova pogajanj potrebna," je rekel Reuther. Ford je odgovoril, da so reprezentanti kompanije pripravljeni za pogajanja z unijo. Akcija eksekutivnega odbora unije je odstranila zadnjo oviro za oklic stavke. Bila bi druga velika stavka v tem letu. Unija je pred nekaj meseci oklicala stavko proti Chrysler Motor Co., katera je trajala 17 dni. Končana je bila, ko je kompanija pristala na zahtevo za zvišanje plače. Ford Motor Co. je ponudila avtnim delavcem zvišanje plače za U fentpv na mo in druge koncesije. Unija zahteva zvišanje plače za 14 centov na uro in uključitev klavzul o socialni zaščiti delavcev v pogodbo. Pri glasovanju zadnji teden se je o-gromna večina delavcev izrekla za oklic stavke proti Ford Motor Co. Pričakuje se, da bo prišlo do sporazuma med unijo in kompanijo in da bo stavka od-vrnjena. Obravnava proti ikofu v Hercegovini Belgrad, 20. jul. — Obravnava proti katoliškemu škofu Petru Čuliču se je pričela pred sodiščem v Mostarju, Hercegovina. Obtožnica mu očita, da je organiziral bande ustašev in teroristov in služil Hitlerju, ko je bila Jugoslavija pod okupacijo nacistov. Poleg škofa je obtoženih pet nun in trije duhovniki kot pomagači Čuliča. žila zapadne države kršenja dogovorov in zaključkov, sprejetih v Jalti in Potsdamu. sodnik prepovedal rasne in verske diskriminacije Charlestoo. S. C« 20. jul.—Federalni distriktni sodnik Juliusj W. VVaring je izdal odredbo, ki prepoveduje rasne In verske dis-! kriminaclje in daje neomejeno) pravico zamorcem do udeležitve primarnih volitev. Odredbo je izdal po viharni debati pred sodiščem. Sodnik je dejal, da bo vsak. ki bi kršil odredbo, obao jen v zapor. Alan Johnstonc. odvetnik in kandidat za zveznega »enelorj«, je bil odveden iz sodne dvorane, ko je protestiral proti odredbi.

Sramota je, ker mora kdo priti pred m Kitice, da mu pove, da je ameriški državljan. Odredba je potrebna. ker lahko postanejo žr tve diskriminacij tudi katoliki in židje." Sodnik je zaališol samo dve priči. ' To sts bila William G. Ba»kin. načelnik eksekutivnega odbora demokratske strsnke v South Corolini, in njegov odvetnik Sidney Tyson.

Vsak član, ki mu jo le kaj za dobrobit jednote, se gotovo zanima za to stvar in pazno zasleduje poročila o uspehih jtega našega podvzetja ter se veseli vsakega dobrega napredka. Kakor je razvidno iz podrobnostnegs poročila, ki gs je pripravil mladinski ravnatelj, ki zbira statistiko o kampanji in katero je bilo priobčeno zadnjo sredo, je izid kampanje sa prve tri mesece dokaj dober. Kakor znano, nas vzame v začetku vsake kampanje precej časa, d« se za tako stvar primerno pripravimo in predno stopi naša kampanja v pravi zamah. Kljub temu pa smo naredili že v aprilu, ki je bil prvi mesec naie letošnje kampanje, precej dobro, drugi mesec pa še boljše. V juniju ali tretjem mesecu naše kampanje smo pridobili v mladinski oddelek in v oddelek odr^lih skupno 367 novih članov, kar seveda ni izredno veliko, toda v teh časih in za naše razmere pri lično lepo število. Vsega skupaj smo pridobili v prvih treh mesecih 1053 članov, kar je pač razveseljivo. Na podlagi do sarflaj doseženih rezultatov lshkd smelo sklepamo, da bo tudi ta hala kampanja ob zaključku popoln uspeh. Naravno, da se pričakuje, da bo tudi v juliju, s lf a ter i m se zaključi prva polovica te kampanje, ta naša aktivnost prav živahna ves mesec ter prav tako ali pa še bolj uspešna kot je bila prve tri mesece. Čeprav se nahajamo v sredi vročega poletja, v dobi • tako zvanih pasjih dni, nas to ne sme motiti. Baš v poletni dobi večkrat kam gremo in koga srečamo, ki še ni člah naše jednote ali pa ima sinove in hčere za sprejem v našo organliacijo. Važno je, da ne vselej zavedamo naše kampanje In poskušamo Izkoristiti vsako priložnost v ta namen. Dobro je, da si zapomnimo, da imamo v tej kampanji poleg običajnih nagrad tudi konteste in da je določana vsota $500, ki se bo razdelila med člane, ki bodo do 31. julija dobili v dotlčnam okrožju ter na podlagi njih kvote največje število Rovih članov. Prva nagrada je $50, druga $35, tretja $25 in čatrta $15 za vsak okraj. Kot je znano, se plača poleg tega še nagrada od $1 do $4 za vsakega novopridobljenega člana. Dobitki od prvo in druge polovice kampanje se bodo lahko Šteli skupaj, ko se bodo ob zaključku kampanje določali glavni dobitki, saatojači iz kraanih, od zanesljive tvrdke kupljenih zapostnih ur, lično izdelanih plošč za priznanje, v gotovini itd. Dobro je tudi, da vemo, da jc vsak udelaienoc v teft) kontestu upravičen do tpltkn rszličnih nagrad, kolikor jšVi more dobiti. Na primer član. ki je upravičen do kake posebna nagrado v prvi polovicL kampanje in zopet v drugi polovici ler se pašeg toga izkaia, da bo ob zakjlučku lumpanje za njegovo izborne aktivnost dobil še glavni dobitek za prvo in drugo polovico skupaj, bo vse ta nagrade tudi zagotovo prejel. Iz vsega tega je lahko vsakemu jasno, da nudi ta ksmpanja res veliko posebno privlačnih ugodnosti, ds je res miksvno in priporočljivo, ds se jih poskušamo posluftiti namreč vsak in vsi! Ne samo za nekatere, temveč za vse nudi ts ksmpanja res veliko posebno privlačnih ugodnosti, da je res mikavno in priporočljivo, da se jih poskušamo poslužiti — namreč vsak in vsi! Ne samb za nekatere, temveč za vse nudi ts ksmpsnjs nekaj posebnega, jednota pa nas tudi kliče, da poskušamo vsak po svoji moči, da bo us(>eh čim večji! Poročilo, ki je bilo priobčeno preteklo sredp, nadalje tudi izkazuj«, da je 50 društev dobilo vsako od 5 do 42 novih članov in devet od teh jih je že dopolnilo svojo kvoto, kor je lopo in razveseljivo. Nadalje je razvidno iz istega poročila, da sa je do zaključka tretjega meseca kampanje aktivno udeležilo samo 225 društev, kar pa ni tako dobro in se ne more smatrati za nič drugega, kakor da Je pri nekaterih društvih preveč brezbrižnosti in premalo resnosti za take stvari. Kakor že omenjeno, nas ob priliki vsske ksmpsnje vzsme precej dolgo, preden se dobro rszgibljamo, da kampanja dobi svoj prsvi zamsh, toda pri nekaterih društvih vzame to predolgo In takim se lado zgodi, da se zdramijo prepozno in potem kljub dobil volji ne morejo nadomestiti, kar so zamudili. Imamo namreč izkušnje in vemo, kako ob koncu navadno prihajajo pisma v glavni urad z zahtevo, da se kampanja podaljša ter kako težko je, ker jim ne moremo ustreči. Kampanja — bratje In sestre - ni &ala, temveč resna In zelo važna stvar. Zato ne bodimo še v bodoče tako luhkomišljenl in indiferentni glede tega, temveč jo vzemimo za resno in delajmo zanjo vsi — vsako društvo in vsak član. Zavedajmo se, da imamo vsi enake pravice in dolžnoati. da je naša kampanja stvar nas vseh! Vsako društvo naj torej skrbi, da bo čim prej Izpolnilo svojo kvoto, ako ne more tega, pa naj vsaj nekaj doprincue za uspeh te kampanje. Vsakega (»edinega člana dolžnost Je, da pri tem pridno pomaga!

Zdaj jc čas, da vlada reformira in regulira tudi delav ske unije." S pomočjo tega argumenta, katerega privlecejo na dan sploh pri vsaki antidelavski zakonodaji, smo dobili tudi T-H zakon, H katerim zdaj žeapridno davijo unije. Ampak to je šele začetek, kajti po predpisanem procesu bo šlo to davljenje počasi toda sigurno. Zakon je sestavljen tako premeteno, da bo to davljenje zaobrnilo proti unijam tudi marsikakšnega "rank and filerja". Oglejmo si nekoliko, kako je velebiznis "reformiran" in koliko je vredna ta Cladna "kontrola". Najprvo nekaj o jeklarskem trustu.

LOUISE PINK. 877 DETROIT.—The big day is ap proach in« fast for our Detroit Fid eration SNPJ Day. Sunday, July 25 at Welcome Park, 15VI Mile road Cleveland last year. • 1 i» r Not only will Sister Ermenc, her assistants, and Circle members be busy with the handcraft exhibit, but they are having frequent rehearsals for the mammoth program which will be presented during the Labor Day weekend. A skit written by Lorraine Sterl* about SNPJ JuKenlles and Circles into which colorful Slovene dances, music and singing will be tflended promises to provide an hour of satisfying cultural entertainment for everyone. Performances by adults will take up the remainder of the program. • • • • • • Many of our members were no doubt sadly disappointed on learning that Sister Ann Sannemann resigned as Director of Perfect Circle 26 of Chicago, after very ably servig in this capacity for the past five years. Efforts to persuade her to reconsider hdr decision have, so far, proven unsuccessful. Brother Edward Udovlch, her assistant, is not now In Chicago, being on the road wtih a Goodman Theater show group in Texas and so is not available to assume the leadership of the Circle. Despite this double blow, the Circle Is functioning actively and will continue to hold meetings regularly every second and fourth Saturday of the month at the SNPJ Hall, starting at 10.30 a. m. Although everyone realizes that we have lost a very capable leader in Sister Sannemann, on the other hand everyone alao realises that Circle No. 26 must continue its good work. Until a permanent director is secured to fill the vacancy, the Circle is proceeding with plans for the remainder of the summei and is, also, beginning to put together a few ideas for the fall and winter schedule—movies. Halloween party, and Christmas program. In the meantime, the members are planning to go picnicking, visit the Railroad Fair and, perhaps, spend an afternoon or two at the beach on selected dates in August. Some are alao looking forward to a trip to Milwaukee for the National SNPJ Day events. It's a very ambitious program and will require a lot of hard work and planning to achieve to the fullest satisfaction but, with the continued cooperation of the Circle officers, members and their parents, as well as the support of lod«es and the Federation, everything will work out and good progress will be made in spite of obstacles.

CLEVELAND.—Loyaiites capture first round in Euclid Senior "B" League. Cooperation, teamwork and that familiar never let up Loyaiite spirit, found the' boys winning the first round playoffs in the Euclid Senior "B" League. , The team's spirit and coopers I ion is marvelous. The boys, started the second round of play as they did m the first tound by an impressive victory over Shore Haven by the score of 7-2 Again "Knuckler" Quinn hurled a neat two hitter and was given good assistance by his teammates. The two ole Loyaliters, Frank "Red" Zaman and Joe "Chuby" Gregor-tic. clouted out tremendous home runs. i Chuby's blast .vas to deep center-field and "Red's" clout was over the right field fence Rrd's clout stands out in distinction, for his feat has never been accomplished by anyone. He is the only player to have hit a ball over the right field fence on this diamond, Shore Field. The fence is fifteen feet In height and is two hundred feet from home plate. Batting laurels of the game go to Joe Braddack who clubbed out three hits while Zaman. Gregorcic and E. Plesivec got two hits apiece The members of the Loyaiite quad are Frank Zaman. Joe Braddock. Captain, Bill Starman. Frank Smirt-nik, Art Tybyash. Joe Gregorcic, Eddie Plesivec, Manager, Biti Quinn, Ernie Krivec, Joe Lasicky. Ed Kra-voa. Joe Plesivec. Frank Zaletal. Joe Strazisar, Frank Jagodnik, Louis Za-dcll, Coach, and mascots Bill Star-man Jr. and Jackie Skryance Jr. Incidentally, the boys on the team chipped in and bought tuits for the mascot boys, Joe "Chuby" Gregorcic leads the team in batting with a sizzling 536 sverage. Willie Quinn leads in the league for pitching with a record of nine wins and two losses. The team plays its first night game at Shore Field on July 23rd at 9:00 p m. So let's all get to the games now and give the boys the cheers they so rightly deserve. It was nice to see all the new facet at the last game, so let's go, Lhyalltes, to all the games and bring home those victories which we sll are so proud of.

AGNES C. JERIC, Chm. Inter-Fraternal Sports League CLEVELAND, Ohio.-i-On April 14, a committee representing Slovene National Benefit Society (SNPJ), American Fraternal Union (AFU), Croatian Fraternal Union (CFU), Slovene Mutual Benefit Association (HDZ/, Grand CarnttUen Slovenian Catholic Union (KSKJ). met for the purpoae of organising the Inter-Fraternal Sports League. Numerous suggestions were presented during the course of discuaaion with the result thst the first activity to be sponsored by the committee would be an All Star Men's and also Women's Bowling Lesgue for the 1948-40 season, At the following meeting held on Apiil 28. it was decided thst meeting would be temporsrlly suspended until contracts were secured for both league* Now that these agree* ments hsve been signed, the task of contacting and organising of the bowlers and teams is at hand. Twelve alleys have been obtained for the Women's Leegue on Monday nights st 9 JO on the Chester-SOth Lane« and the Men's League will howl on twelve alleys on Tuesday Sports in Johnstown JOHNSTOWN. Pa, f The , Cone, msugh Valley SNPJ Softball League is rounding Into its second half schedule and at the present time, we find the league standing as follows: Triglav Lodge 82. four wins and no losses; Adria Lodge 3, two wins and three loaaes, and Trojans Lodge 749, one win and four losses. , The Softball League ihjs year has been so far one of the most interesting leagues we have had in several yaars, as all the members of all SNt>J lodges know that the winner will compete for National Championship honors in Milwaukee, Wis,, on Sept, 4, 8, and 0, I have been very fortunate in being able to attend moatly all the games played so /ar, and with three and four hundn-rl spectators, cheering for their respective lodges to win, I am so thrilled to see that there is so much interest in these softball games. With the league standings as they ara, it has no bearing on the weakness of any of the teams. Mostly all of these games have been won or lost in the last inning or two. Triglav Lodge 82, composed of veteran softball players that have competed for National honors In La Salle, III, Detroit, Mich, and Cleveland, Ohio, still has what it takes to be a winner. The Trojan Lodge 749, composed mostly of juvenile boys that have graduated into then aault lodge and trying to carry the burden, is rather weak in several spots, and I am sura in another year or two, it should be the best around the SNPJ lodges in Johnstown. ' Adrla Lodge 3 lis also A new te«m, made up mostly of new members that have joined the SNPJ this year. As I understand, they have acquired st least fifteen or more new members When I attended a meeting in April, prior to the softball league, the lodge at that time could only account for about seven softball players.. After a considerable dis-cussmn on sports In the SNPJ and what a young fellow could gain in our lodges. 1 was promised that they would sponsor a team and Compete for honors In Milwaukee. Thkt ptomise was kept, for when Adria goes on the field to play a league game, they have least three full teams It is retnackable to see the interest that this lodge has shown this year in the Conemaugh Valley SNPJ lesgue. In conclusion of this article, I wish Sheboygan News SHEBOYGAN, Wis. Baseball fans in Sheboygan had the opportunity of witnessing the • official opening of the Midwest SNPJ Baseball league here. Sunday, July 18. It was the Moderns Snappy J's against a well balanced Milwaukee Badger team. To th< fans and the team of Moderns it was a great ball game, for we war» on the victorious end of a 5-1 score. Bobby Zore held the Badger hitters down with two lonely hits, one a tremendous last inning home ryn clout by Simons for their only tally. Grof of the Badgers allowed but five hits, two of which were collected by "Babe" Ziegenhorn. It was Babe's ringing triple to right in the second inning with two men aboard that put the Moderns in a 3-0 lead. His beautiful slide home on the next play, made the score 4-0. The fielding play of both teams was great, giving the fans a thrill on several play«. This Sunday, July 25. the Mod-tin» will be well represented at the Badger picnic. Traveling in a chartered bys. along with fout or,live cars, it is estimated fully 50 Modern« wiU make the trip. . It is at this picnic the Moderns will play their second game of the Midwest League schedule with the Chicago Pioneers as the opposing team. In the Open Class League the Moderns are moving right on up near the top in standings. Tuesday, July 13. in a game played at Washington School the Moderns defeated Jaleitc's 7-3 in ten inninga. Thursday, July 15, it was victory over Pinky's 8-2. Your next chance to witness the Moderns in Open Class ocmpftitlon is Thursday, July 22, at Junior High against Eagle Insulation. On Tuesdsy, July 27, it will be Moderns vs. Pinky's and again at Junior High.

DOROTHY GLAVACH to say that since 1940, it has been my greatest desire to see the National Softball Championship won by a team from Johnstown, and I am very sure that this will be the year. As a fair warning to the teams that will compete for those honors, bear in mind that Johnstown Will be in Milwaukee with a very good softball team. (Attention: Bro.

In addition we received two juveniles by transfer. We went over all the pressing matters, gave the August 7 Picnic considerable time and then adjourned early tp Schutz's Grove where the gang held a wj*«.er roast. Out in the ope., they roasted wieners and marshmellpwt, drank some cofee and brown fluid, gaVe the sleeping birds lessons in cheerr ing notes and then retired at a late hour. Indeed, the whole evening was pleasant for those who participated. We hope more of you will come the text time. Theresa Dras-ler of Vancouver, Washington attended the meeting. We were glad to see her. • « • Things are stirring big for the Pioneer Picnic. < We've gotten some nice big window placardk direct from the General Artists Corp., through whom Frankle Yankovic and his orchestra now book.

Placards are getting a wide distrlbuiton. More of them are on the way, so that by the weekend, we should have our business districts well covered^ Our local retail outlet for Yankovic fec-ords will help us promote his appearance with ads in the local newspapers and with a sound truck. The local Chamber of Commerce, through it's president, is helping-us .pontact the radio announcers in the district. All of this ads up to an effective publicity campaign and if we cah estimate our possibilities, Pilsen Park will have a record throng for us on Saturday, Aug, 7. • • • Local business men are cooperating with us in selling tickets, also. There is the Slovene Labor Center, in the top position for this work. Arley Bozlcnik has already taken 70 tickets and with his efforts, we intend to get some real spenders to the picnic.

Btas-aen. Dewev and Truman They tell me that Wattei Wine hell admitted thai he blundered beeeuae his straw poll gave Wallace more votes then any other candidates History tells us that a new.:third party won twice before in America and it is possible that the Progrersives with Wallaee and Taylor can repeat. At any rate, no union man should vote for any Republican, because they gave us the Taft-Hartley law, which will break the unions unless it is repealed, and Truman with the Democrats had blundered so much that no honest and intelligent citizen can truthfully and honestly vote fbr them. There is a chance. for Wallace to be elected. • • • Louis Adamic's release about the situation in Jugoslavia may or may STRABANE I PIONEERS STRABANE. Pa.—The Strabane Pioneers are still very much active only it is their reporter who Is a bit lax. Please forgive uS. ^ There is so much to write about that we hardly know where to begin. For one thing, the Lodge Home is taking applications for a club steward, and also a manager for the bowling alleys. Applications for either vacancies will be taken by the house committee up until Aug. 8. The popular Tony Tershels are giving up their posts. We are grateful to them for their many years of faithful service in our club. It was not be the factual case. More will ! a job well done, be known about the situation in the | The combined 138 and 689 enter- nexl few months. Whatever it ii,' we certainly hope that the Jugoslavs can retain the republican form Of government on the basis of equality for the wefrking man. And, we certainly don't want them to hoof it alone. We want them to retail the Slavic ties With the other Slay countries and the Big Power which has made, the present Jugoslavia possible. We would like to have those who know relate more faci utally what all is happening in Ju^ goslavia. Individuals report that farmers must give up eggs and grain and supplies without Compensation. Yes, we know that the Jugoslavs as a nation must all eat and that the interest of one individual can not be considered where the many suffer. We do know that any government is apt to curb people but the injustices should be corrected. We see where the Rev. Roiman has now come to this country where he will spread propaganda against the government of Jugoslavia. This is the man who collaborated with Hitler and Mussolini. and whose orders, according to reports, meant death to many of his countrymen. He has no right to be in a free country unless he first is absolved of any wrong doing. Even the Catholics ought to stand up and demand that which is right. Let Rofman stand trial and prove that he is not guilty. • • • Edward Tyk is the latest to sign up for the new bowling season which will start in September.—Edward and Joaephine Smolik have a new arrival in their family and they have already promised to enroll the youngster in the Pioneers. Congratulation.—Our ball team will go to Milwaukee to meet the Badgers Sunday. SPRINGFIELD. 111.—At our June meeting the members decided to have a picnic at Lincoln Park following the July meeting. That will be Sunday, July 25, so come alonY folks, bring a basket dinner and join us. The meeting will begin at 2 pm and we should be at the Park a couple of hours later. Maybe the ladies can "take" the men in another ball same. tainment committee are planning their always extremely popular annual picnic. It will probably take place in the Caroselli's picnic goVe. However, to be certain wateh the bulletin board and this column for place and date, as neither hasn't been chosen as yet. Pioneer Personals Our lodges wish to express their very deepest heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved families of the follpW-ing deceased members. Frank Mai-zel, of the senior Lodge 138. He is survived by an only daughter Frances. Mrs. Frances Zele, also of 138. died after a tragic lingering illness. She is survived by her husband and lovely daughter Frances, who is extremely active in our lodge; that is until all of her time was consumed taking devoted care of her adored mother. The Pete Mehorlc's infant daughter died shortly after birth at the C^inonsburg hospital. Little Mary Jo Curnarski, almost 5 years of age, of the Juvenile Circle, died after a short Illness. She was the only child of the popular Joe Curnarskis, much better khoWn as the Philcos. Sweet little Mars-Jo looked like an angel in her tiny coffin. We all feel their heart-rending loss and hope time will help heal all the bereaved families' broken hearts. Unfortunately, we have some accidents and sicknesses to report, too. Mrs. Frances Batista is recovering nicely afier 12 stitches were taken in her hand and arm. She had the misfortune of getting her hand caught in a wringer. Mrs. Eddie Florgancic, better known as Marge, is feeling much better after ah bperation at the local hospital not so long back. Lincolnite News na party some time ago. He had quite a number of stitches taken in his "noggin" on which the stitches are still very much in evidence.

Lovely little Jeanie Kern of the The summer bowling team that Juvenile Circle parted company with the lodge is sponsoring meets every f her troublesome tonsils at the local Friday night at the Spillway Alleys. They may not be leading the league hospital Now let's see what our Pioneers in games won, but anyone that and friends have done to enjoy them- watches them will testify that they have more fun than any team around the alleys. The highlight of the summer was the 208 game that Frank Volk rolled a few weeks ago. The others on the team are Rudy Kerar, Henry Sietz. Frank Copi, John Phillpich and Joe Brinocar. Having an extra man entitles one to drop out each week. I should like to report that the Progressive Party rally held in Springfield July 8. was a real inspiration to those attending. Some outstanding speakers were on the program, including Milton Burns of Chicago of the United Farm Equipment Workers Union; Rebeccs Styles Taylor, educator and columnist of the Chicago Defender; Miss Ysnic, writer for a Chicago Lithuanian paper; Harry Diehl. attorney and farmer of Gibaon City; and Dr. Albert Lybyer of the University of Illinois who gave a very clear picture of the world aituation. and pointed out plainly the fallacies of our country's "bi-partisan" foreign policy. The next affair of the New Party will be a picnic on August 1st. and all Who are Interested are welcome to attend. Time and place will be announced later. At our last two meetings we have heard very good reports from several of our members who attended the May Day dance In St. Loula. They all tell of having had such a good time, and want another visit with tke Spirits. So at our June meeting we decided to ask them up to Springfield for a day's outing st the Lake with us. or at one of the many nice parks we have So far, at this writing, we have not heard from them, but we are hoping to aoon. and will be glad to see them make the trip up this way. If it can be srranged. the Lincolnite« may also make a trip to St Louis later in the summer. Several mem bers expressed a desire to do so We should like to give a vote of thanks to Sister Mary Aldlch. who has carried on the work of the Juvenile Circle Sister Grace Davenport had to give up the job shortly after tsking It because of lllneaa and Mary ia on hand evyry month to take charge of the juvenile mem« bers I should like to stress that selves.

Washington The road was passable already, bul many temporary fills had been made where the water hud torn out parts of the road. In many plaees the ease was just the opposite, as the river deposited tons of silt on the roud burying It from two to sis feel deep. Bulldosers had to be used to mske the road* passable. The Aluminum Company of America, popularly known as ALCOA, continued operation throughout the flood although the flood waters were eight to ten feet deep around the plant.

Executive Secretary of the AfC As the crucial November elections draw nearer, the central issue of peace or war becomes more apparent to the people. This in spite of the efforts of the bi-partisans and the press to confuse and befuddle the issue in a maze of hjghsounding phrases for freedom and democracy. It is «round this sll-important question of peace or war that all other problems of our economic and political life revolve today. It is this issue that most concerns Slavic Americans, as it does all other Americans and all other nations Alert Slavic Americans reslize that a new war. as now planned by our militarists and bi-partisan politicians, will primarily but not exclusively, be a war against the Slav countries of Eastern Europe—a war against those who fought so gallantly and suffered so much for our common victory over Nazi Germany. An-American of Macedonian descent, I have already experienced the very painful feeling of seeing American bullets and bombs killing toy Macedonian people in the north-em part of Greece in an undeclared y*r. There are about 150,000 Macedonian Slavs in Aegesn Macedonia and 8alonilia as the main center. These Macedonian Slavs are taking an active part in General Marko's Democratic Army of Greece and ere among the best and most courageous fighters against Greek fascism. Bight now the United States, in the name pf the Truman doctrine, is encouraging the killing and extermination or these anti-fascist fighters In Greece. We are upholding a decadent monarchy there which has sold Greece to American oil interacts and which acts as sn obedient servant of our Wall Street "economic royalists." Recently our American newspapers carried pictures of Greek royalist soldiers, by mistaka to be sure, riding American mules and proudly carrying their trophies of war—severed heads of Partisans. As I looked at these pictures, I felt the only thing missing was the caption: "The Truman doctrine in action." To us Americans of Macedonian descent and to Greek Americans, as to the people in the old country who are fighting in the mountains, the Truman doctrine is not different from the doctrine of Adolph Hitler. Even the arguments of their authors are the same. Like Truman, Hitler contended in his day that his aim was to stop Communism. It was in the name of }hls Nasi "crusade" against Communism that the German army of occupation and the "Security Battalions" of Greek quislings committed outrageous crimes against the Greek people. Today it is in the name of the seme "crusade" against Communism that Arrericen officers sre leading Gieek monarcho-fascists to even greater terror and atrocities as the displayed heeds of Partisans show. Czechoslovakia not another Greece One can understand the bitterness of our policymakers toward the new government of Czechoslovakia, which robbed them of the opportunity of doing In Czechoslovakia whet they have been doing in Greece for twelve months. Secretary Marshall reached the height of hypocrisy whan he declared that a "reign of terror" grips Czechoslovakia white supporting the "reign of democrecy" in royoliot Greece where strikers are being shot snd Partisan heads sre chopped off. What has been taking place in Greece shows whs! might take place tomorrow in other Slav coutnries and In other parts of the world if our American monopolists and militarists sre allowed to throw the world Into g new war, In such a war, we Slavic Americans will be asked to bear arma against our Klsvie brothers and sisters; in such s war we will be asked to )oin with Gieek royaluts.

All this would not be so tragic if the Slavic peoples were on the side of reaction, if they were acting in defense of decadent monarchies, corrupt governments and greedy and selfish "economic royallsU." But this is not the case. The Slavic countries have rejected their prewar fascist regimes; they have put out of business the cartelists and monpolists who up to now have amassed billions of profits from the people's tpll. There is no placs for cartelists and monopolists, foreign or domestic, in t!)e new people's economies of the Slav countries. No wonder qpr Hearsts and McCormicks, our Morgans'and Rockefellers do not like them. But these same American monopolists hate their own coal miners who strike for old age pension. They become enraged at their own New York Stock Exchange employees who strike for a decent wage. They have no patience with their own Americsn G. I.'s, their own youth, who ask for adequate housing, for adequate educational facilities and recreation. . /« This The American Way o/ Lift? Is it not a sad commentary on our democracy, on our* American way of life, that the leaders of the United Mine Workers of America and the union itself, in whose ranks there are so many 8lavic American workers, have been sentenced by s Federal Court to pay a fine of $1,-400,000, for the alleged crime of heving dared fight for an old age. pension of $100 a month for every miner over 63 years of age? One can' imagine the impression this news created, lat us say. In the countries of Eastern Europe where, our policymakers and our press tell us, there is no democracy. It happens that in those countries workers were granted old age pensions by their governments in appreciation of their oervice to the nation. One can almost hear those workers telling us to keep our kind of democracy (or ourselves. Then the case of the strike of the New York Stoek Exchange employees. Newspapers and newsreels recently showed policemen clubbing the strikers mercilessly. Their Gestapo-1 ik* sadism even extended to women. The sight of workers be-! ing dragged on the sidewalks with blood streaming frqjn their pain-1 twisted faces is unspeakable. Most of these workers are former G. I.'s. I They are the people who fought for the destruction of fascism, only to find It now in their own country, striking out against them right at their pieces of work! One can imagine what goes on in the minds and hearts of these former G. I.'s when they are dragged to Jail like so msny criminals. When one looks at these pictures snd then reads In the next column pious phrases sbout how this country respects and defends the dignity of the individual, and how we s\and ready to lend s helping hand to the "poor creatures" in those "barbaric" countries of Eastcnr Europe, one Is sickened by this brazen hypocrlsv, Km these reasons we dec.are that a war against tha Slavic and other freedom-loving peoples would be a criminal war, a war against our own eivil rights and liberties.

Charles Rozmarek and Judge Blair Gunther work hand in hand with Mikloayczyk In carrying out the Instructions of their bipartisan masters in Washington. They are poisoning the minds of conservetive Polish Americans, making them an easy prey of the current war hysteria. The same is true of the role which people like Joseph Martinek and the Papenek-Slavik alliance are playing au^ong Czech and Slovak Americans. These people remind one of tha eele of the Ukrainisn nationalists, the Bulgarian fascists and the followers of TI«o, Pavelich and Nedich in the service of Hitler during the war. The recent and provocative act of these "exiles" was their brazen re qqest to the chairman of the Security Council for an inveetigatlon of "Soviet Aggression" in Bulgaria, Hungary, Jugoslavia, Rumania, Poland and Albania. This is another attempt to strain still further relations between the United States and the Slavie and other Easetrn European countries. Here Is another irr<-dicstlon that Mikolajczyk, Dimitroff and Nagy of the so-called International Peasant Union, with headquarters in Washington, are openly calling for war against their native countrels. It is the only means by which they tan hope to regain their former positions as disrupters of national unity and to restore the old anti-people's regimes. The poisonous pro-war and anti-Slav propaganda of Mikolajcsyk, Dimitroff, Nagy and their colleagues Is being carried in leading American magazines and newspapers in the form of highly paid feature articles and interviews. After poisoning the minds of naive and pre)' udleed Americans, their mesoege is later broedcast over the "Voice of America" to the countries of their birth. One ean imagine hbW the people of Poland. Bulgaria, Jugoslavia. Hungary, Albania and Rumania feel when they hear the voices of these traitors, this time speeding from the shores pf the U 8. A. and under tha' tpbnstfrshfl> Snd the protection of the American government. This Is the most despicable role one can play against the hardworking and liberty-loving peoples of his native land. It will not be long before these bankrupt politicians and discarded kings will join, if they have not already done so, with our war instigators and German Hitlerites in plots and underground movements sgslnst the countries of their birth, This is the only next logical step open to them. Such is the meaning of the activities of these Eastern European agents of American imperialism, and such are the implications of the pro-war program of our policymakers in Washington There Is no question that a new world war would be a war of special horrors for Slavic Americans. Is it then difficult to understand that'the fight for peace is the central Issue, the crueial task before all people's organizations, such as our Amerieen Slav Congress, and before all Americans who remain true to the democratic traditions of our country!— (Tire Slavic American) World OH Trust Robs Americansf (yMahoney Insists U. S. aijd Foreign PricerFuung Combine If Pocketing Millions Of Europe-Aid t>o?lar» The "World-Wide Oil Trust" ia robbing the Americsn people of millions of the hard-earned dollars they are contributing to rebuild Europe under the "Marshall plan." That is the meaning of s telegram sent by Senator Joseph C. O'Mahoney (Dem.. Wyo ) to the presidents of two gigantic American oil companies and to a "subsidiary" in the Middle East. • The telegram is of extraordinary importance, for three reesons. First, it makes seriot^ Charges. O'Mahoney is one of the Senate's most conspicuous leaders and is an authority on the petroleum industry. Third, because of the size snd international connections of the companies concerned. The wire wet to Eugene Hplman, head of Standard Oil of New Jersey; B. B. Jennings, president of Socony-Vacuum, another Standard company, and Terry Duce, who heads "Aramoo." a subsidiary of Standard of California and the Texas Company. V. S., British, Dutch, French Aramco has vast oil concessions in Saudi Arabia. Standard of New Jersey and Socony—with British, Dutch and French interest*—share concessions in Iraq, another Arab country in the Middle East. O'Mahoney oakod the three presidents their "opinion as to the possibility of abolishing the world system" which fixes the prices of petroleum. '' This system, the senator declared/ "compels the Economic Cooperation Administration" or "E. C. A.,M as the Marshall plan is now called, "to pay for middle East Oil as though it Were produced in the United States, pttrdhaaed at Texas Gulf ports, and »trahipOrted by tanker to the shores of 0». Mediterranean Sea." near the Middle East . "Absurdly'' High Prices "This payment of 'phantom freight' from Texas on oil produced in the Middle Ekst adds about 100 per cent to the price which the American people must pay'-for the oil which is being bought by the E. t. A-O'Mahoney declared. ' Rirfhf 'now/he pointed out the E. Cl A. la using "more than $60 million" of the American people's money to buy Middle East oil. The world-wide system which fixes "absurdly" high prices for this oil is, therefore, "of vital concern" to our people. This oil prize fixing is done by methods similar to the cement industry's "basing point system," recently ruled by the Supreme Court to be in violation of the anti-trust laws, O'Mahoney explained. No Competition "Under the present world pricing system tor petroleum there is no competition among any of the companies—either American or foreign —which produce oil in the Middle East." In conclusion, O'Mahoney asked the three oil moguls what they intend to do about all this. " ln other words, will they go right on robbing the American people of their "Marshall plan" money? Or will the American companies drop out of the "world wide price-fixing system." snd "give a break" to the Americsns who pay for the oil and the Europeans who use It? Appeal to Old Lew The latter course ia considered most unlikely. No true* ever gave ap a dishonest dollar—voluntarily. The American ail companies claim that the Webb-Pomerene Act authorizes them to join foreign price-fixing combines, despite the antitrust laws. The Webb-Pomerene Act, passed back in Wood row Wilson's time does permit American corporations to join In foreign combi'its. but specifically provides that this must not he used to r?ue prices or reduce competition in the United Stales. And that's what the combine does. Recalls "Aramco" Scandal Here's another oil scandsl: "Aramco," the Arabian-American Oil Company, this week signed a five-year contract to sell huge auantities of oil to the U. S. Navy, at $1.48 a barrel and higher. As LABOR has reported at various times, James A. Moffett, a former president of Aramco, testifying before a Senate committee, produced cvklence. that, early in the war. the king of Saudi Arabia demanded huge subsidies fcom Aramco. The company did not want to use its own cash, so it got the U- S. government to secretly slip $90 million of the American people's money to the Arab king, through "lend-lease" to England. . Reneged on Promise In return, Moffett said. Aramco promised to sell oil to our navy at 40 cents a barrel, but reneged on that promise and charged over $1, thus making an extra profit of $85 million during the war. Now the navy has signed up to continue to pay $1.4f and more per barrel for Aramco oil.

We may start at the beginning of our history, when the Jeffersonians were called Jacobins and generally regarded as a group acting under instructions from an alien power, France. This spirit led to the alien and sedition act. Excesses of those days were largely responsible for the election of Jefferson as President and repeal of the alien and sedition act. In the middle of the century the Catholics were the target In the 1880's it was Um anarchists and the Knights of Labor. Then the attack was directed against the AFL, which at the beginning was a radieal organization. Then came the passage of criminal syndicalist laws all over the country aimed at the Industrial Workers of the World and the jailing of many of ita members. In the early 1920's came the attacks on the Socialists, who were accused of being a foreign movement conspiring against the U.S. government. Feeling was so Intense that In the cosmopolitan state of New York five Socialist members of the legislature were expelled! The Luik committee of New York was a forerunner of the Thomas committee. Its methods were the same snd its reports not dissimilar. Then the CIO, with which it was said the Communists ■ were connected, was attacked. The CIO having cleansed itself, the attack is now on the Communists. The Communists have made the Socialists respectable. end if a party farther to the left than communism is formed, and this Is quite possible, that will make the Communists respectable.

Then come the people who have contracta with the U.S. Then come big industry blacklists. Aside from this danger there is the precedent set by an executive official, the attorney general, having the power to name organizations which he calls Communist fronts, and this without trial or hearing or testimony. On this basis, an individual can be branded disloyal, thrown out of his job, barred from ell other jobs—all without a fair hearing, with no right to subpena witnesses, no right to crossexamine witnesses who may appear ogoinit him, no right even to be confronted by witnesses. Then there is the Thomas committee which is smearing reputations of men of independent views, bringing about a situation where men are boycotted from earning a living not because of any act but because of their opinipns. I appeared before this committee to oppose proposed bills banning the Communist party from the ballot, bills by which Congress found as a fact that certain groups were disloyal and engaged in a conspiracy, bills finding as a fact that men of certain views were agents of foreign governments. It was startling to note how shocked these men were at views that I regarded as the very foundation of our institutions. So long as we have the right freely to persuade and secretly to vote, we have a method by which changes can be made In our system, however radical. without force. Deny either of these and the theory on which our government is founded is destroyed. Yet these men would drive out of political life those with whose views they do not agree! Before Congress today is the clearly unconstitutional Mundt bill, which would penalize.certain Americans, and in fact, although not in words, destroy their right to express their views as freely as other citi-zer\s.

This will keep Europe in a state of "dol-Isr shortage forever." eccording to the London Economist. 2.
