Indeed the chances Are that the Union member and his family Are celebrating in much the same Way As their neighbors at athletic contests Picknick ing fishing swimming or on the Highway. Like other holidays this one can be expected to Endrin tragedy for literally scores of families. It s a distressing commentary on contemporary american life that celebrations have a Way of claiming human lives 558 citizens having died in labor Day weekend accidents in 1952, 432 of them As a result of traffic mishaps. Beyond this sad circumstance however there Are other thoughts that suggest themselves on this seventy first Observance of the Day set aside in Honor of the Workingman. Union members for the first time in 20 years Are represented in the Cabinet by one of their number Secretary of labor Durkin. Yet ironically for the first time in the same 20 years the political party in control in Washington is not generally viewed As Friendly to Union labor president Eisenhower reportedly having taken matters into his own hands in some recommended Taft Hartley changes which Are understood to be generally pro labor. Labor Union membership in the United states is estimated at 15,700.000 to 16.200,000 by the u. S. Bureau of labor statistics. U. S. Unions in Canada have another 800.000 members. The United states has 215 unions 108 pre american federation of labor affiliates 33 belong to the Congress of Industrial organizations 74 Are independents. Labor unions on this labor Day Are in a period of transition and re alignment of forces. The a. F. Of l. Convention in san Francisco later this month is expected to take action on a recommendation of its executive Council that the International longshoremen s association be suspended from the federation. The United brotherhood of carpenters withdrew from the a. F. Of l on August 12, in protest against a proposed a. F. Of la. I. 0. Agreement against membership a a raids on rival unions. This matter is scheduled for discussion at the forthcoming conventions that of the c. I. 0. Being scheduled for Cleveland in november. Worked out by a joint c. I. . F. Of l. Unity committee the agreement if adopted Well might constitute a major step toward organic Union of the two big Union groups. In the 71 years since the first labor Day Celebration the average Union member has moved up from a lower economic level virtually into the so called Middle class. Factory workers were earning their highest average hourly pay in history As of mid july $1.77, including overtime and other Premium pay. And employment was at almost a record High level. There were almost 5,000,- More non farm workers in july than at the time of the korean outbreak in june 1950. There is moreover a Sharp contrast Between the material rewards and the liberties enjoyed by workingmen in this country and the lot of workers elsewhere particularly in the soviet orbit. It will be recalled that just a few weeks ago the soviet army had to take Over in order to re establish the so called a a workers paradises in East Germany. Movies striking bark conversion to three dimensional and widescreen productions has brought an upheaval in the motion picture Industry similar to that set off when sound films were introduced 25 years a30. Starting at a time when movie houses were suffering a marked decline in patronage from 90,000,000 weekly attendance in 1947 to Only 45,000,000 in 1952, the so called a three i revolution understandably is being seeded in an attempt to win Back audiences lost to other Media. The new realism has been gained by the use of two distinct methods either separately or in combination. Stereoscopic photography adds a third dimension to the image rounding out the forms and giving the viewer a sense of depth which is lacking in conventional films. Panoramic projection of the film on a wide curved screen extends the picture Over a radius comparable to the Normal Range of human vision. The first two movies to utilize the now techniques w Ere a this is cinerama a which opened in new York City la it september and a Bwana Devil a which had its premiere on the West coast in november. Both films were produced outside established Hollywood studios but their phenomenal Success at the Box office led to a virtual overhaul of the Industry As leading companies hastened to follow up with pictures utilizing similar techniques. The first dozen pictures in the new form were so called a a quickies which capitalized on such visual effects As a fist clashing toward the audience a wild animal chaining or dancers leaping into space. But better Grade stories a re being used in current productions in an Effort to h Jid the audience recently won Back to motion pictures. A the Robe a soon to be shown in pm pal cities is the Type of film in which the Industry is staking its future. And if qua to steadfastly is stressed there s reason for a believing that movies will he Able to bold their own to Competition with i other forms of entertainment postal rates applying to newspapers Ion have figured prominently in Post office department explanation of its annual deficits but there never has been a Clear showing of just How much the rate for newspapers ought to be if the entire Cost of postal handling were to be met. And such hardly would be a desirable arrangement inasmuch As National Progress is dependent upon an informed Public. One illustration of the Long standing controversy is provided by the occasion when the postmaster general appearing before a congressional committee quoted a High figure As being the loss to the department in handling second class mail. The following Day a Post office department auditor told the same committee the accounting system of the department was such that it would be impossible to give any accurate figure on the loss resulting from the handling of any one class of mail. Also there was the statement of the incumbent postmaster general on july 13 of this year to the effect that the annual deficit of his department is $720,000,000. That was the same Day he asserted that taxpayers pay �?o80 per cent of the Cost of handling publishers second class but after the Congress decided to Shelve legislation providing for increased postal rates the postmaster general issued a statement on july 28 in which he declared that the annual deficit had been reduced to $315,000,000. Wary Fleming counsel for the Indiana press association engages in some interesting speculation when he wonders Why the postmaster general changed his figures to the tune of what amounts to approximately $1,000,000 a Day in the Brief Span of 15 Days. Or. Fleming s speculation takes this course a was the postmaster general a High figure of $2,000,000 a Day loss Given on july 13 in the Hope of scaring Congress to pass h. R. 6052 the postal rate increase Bill without proper investigation since that figure was Cut in half on july 28 does it mean that tax papers Are paying Only 40 per cent of the Cost of handling publishers second class mail rather than the 80 per cent he claimed on the previous Date and what part of publishers second class mail is devoted to the handling of newspapers Only a such questions obviously Call for precise answers before it truthfully can be said whether or not users of second class mail in general and newspaper publishers in particular Are failing to shoulder their fair share of the Burden of operating the Post office department. Or. Field rests his Case following his impressive recital of figures showing the scope of the Myca program in his City a recapitulation reprinted in this space two Days Ages editor Edfield of the Selma times journal gets Down to Bedrock when discussing the value of organized efforts aimed at character building he eschews Quot Bare statistics in favor of a actual results a declaring results of the Selma Myca program Best can be stated we think by quoting the report on juvenile delinquency made at the last meeting of the Southern division of the National recreational association at Jackson miss. This report stated that Selma. Al boasted the lowest juvenile delinquency rate in the entire nation. The Selma editor also foregoes what might be regarded As an invidious comparison of y programs in his City and Here in Anniston limiting himself instead to a few words of encouragement for Anniston ians and to a restatement of his High estimate of Selma s my can an estimate which we must agree is supported by Strong evidence. Apropos of his Bill of particulars in the premises editor Fieldsa its a if Myca leaders of Anniston Are discouraged by this report they should not be for they have time ahead of them to equal it and certainly they have a great Community which should be responsive to efforts in this direction. A the times journal has no doubt but that the Anniston Plant of the Myca has been planned to provide for future developments and that it eventually will take rank with the Best in the nation but our Model City contemporary definitely is out of line when it tries to compare its Myca with that of Selma which is an organization of world repute a is Lull tourists spend appearing in the current saturday evening Post is an article entitled a these southerners just love Yankees a the Burden of which is that tourist attractions in the Tennessee Valley Are adding greatly to the Prosperity of the Region accounting for income in the amount of $400,000,000 in 1952 alone. More than 20 000, persons visited the t v. A lakes last year the article states adding that the figure a is increasing every # in 1936, according to the to t author there were Only in the t. A a. Area some 600 boats valued at $60,000, whereas today not including trailer boats there Are 22,829 recreation boats valued at More than $22,000,-000. To provide living facilities docks etc., for boat owners and guests there is an estimated $38,000,000 Worth of recreational facilities on t. V. A. Lakes not counting the hundreds of motels restaurants bait and tackle shops etc., located away from the 10,000 Miles of t. V. A. Shoreline. The showing in Fine is one of great new wraith being channelled into a Region which not so Many years ago was virtually Bank lust. The source of this new wealth complementing what is being realized from expanded Industry and improved agriculture is being cultivated More and Moie Here in the South. We have a great tout is potential Here and As editor Reese Amis of the Hunts Ville times wryly has observed each tourist a is Worth a Bale of Cotton and he s a lot a a amp Ier to labor s crossroad on outside looking in columnist declares by Drew Pearson led to one of the worst depressions Washington labor Day 1953 Iii history.

But today labor sees the Man it safely ensconced in the White House naturally inclined to favor the policies of Hie businessmen who backed him rather than the labor leaders who bucked him. So despite the appointment of Martin plumbers organized labor frankly recognizes that it is a Long Way from having any voice in Washington.

A we dare not toy with any of our precious liberties in the fat belief that we can find Security in the process. There can be no Security for an Amenia without individual Liberty. These Are no Idle words. A now i believe we need a sound Security program in this country particularly in the Field of government employment.
