The Labor World reports endorsement by the American Federation of Labor and the state federation. It notes union support, office headquarters, and subscription rates for union members.
The piece warns against socialism and liberalism, arguing they pave the way to a police state. It contrasts free enterprise with state control, denounces government expansion, and urges vigilance against perceived liberal regimes masquerading as freedom. It stresses individual pride and opportunity as core American values.
In 1939 Hans von Kaltenborn, a radio commentator known to anti-labor circles, predicted no war in Europe, influencing vows about political figures. The piece recounts his forecasts on Dewey and Warren, noting shifts in nomination and candidacy rumors during that period.
A critical release asserts Taft Hartley cut union friction by reducing pending cases, cites May totals of 18 254 and 719 bargaining petitions, condemns NLRB for delaying unfair labor practice charges, and urges voters in 1948 to repeal the 1947 Slave Labor Act. It claims quick injunctions against unfair labor practices are possible while criticising union shop elections as overrun.
A historical critique cites July 1946 as the end of price controls and attributes a fifty billion dollar consumer cost to the repeal. It accuses the 80th Congress of serving big business, noting wage gains lagging profits and urging voters to remember in November 1948.
Washington newspapers this week report rising complaints about stores using aggressive credit sales to lure customers. The Justice Department is examining the situation as consumers fear losing wages to court actions.
The Wallace reactionary coalition campaigns to back anti liberal candidates by fielding third party opponents in many races. Minnesota Senatorial contest pits Wallace against liberal Hubert Humphrey as a possible boost to Ball, while in Illinois Douglas faces Wallace, aiding Curley Brooks. Similar patterns appear in California and beyond, drawing parallels to Europe where extremes unite against moderates. The piece accuses the 80th Congress of anti worker measures and notes alignment with communism.
A fragment quotes Fosdick arguing there are two paths in action our way or the wrong way, using sharp metaphor about burning a house to rid a rat as a striking illustration. The readable text reflects a blunt opinion style and incomplete attribution.
The article argues the 1918 Republican platform seeks repealing the federal inheritance tax, shifting tax power to states. It warns wealthy individuals would flee to states like Florida, forcing repeal nationwide to avoid discrimination against the well-to-do, with revenue to be raised by sales taxes. It cites Coolidge, Mellon, and Hoover remarks.
