In our feeble way we have been preaching the same doctrines for lo, | the New Deal came into being. Take the matter of Organized Labor, for these many years—in fact ever since instance: ♦ ♦ ♦ For more than a quarter of a cen tury this writer carried a union card. He served his local union in many J capacities, from president down to sergeant-at-arms. For a time he re presented his union as a delegate to the Central Labor Count il of his city. Having had all thin personal exper ience it is natural that we feel we have some right to criticize whenever we feel that such criticism is due— speaking from the inside, as it were, I We have always felt that the Ameri-1 can working man has certain Inalien able rights, among wnlcli are thei right to organize with his fellows for’ the purpose of dealing with his em ployer collectively, and the right to throw up his job whenever things did not go to suit him. Lord knows we have done enough of both of these thing« in our lifetime. ♦ ♦ * So we were pleased to hear Gover nor Dewey confess to the same basic belief. And we also agree with him that labor has not had a fair deal from the present adm nistratioa.

To onr mind th«j proper function of the federal govern ment is as a fair-minded referee to see that the rules of the game a* fixd by the Constitution and Congress are properly followed. Beyond th it, the Executive Department has ’io business to go. ♦ ♦ ♦ Anu now comes one of the oldest of American weekly magazines, th" Saturday Evening Post, with a signed article, by its editor-in-chief flatly endorsing Governor Dewey for President. If it were not for the fact that no direct quotations arc- permitted by the Post without special perndssion, we would like to reprint most of Mr. Hibb’s article. But we can give you the gist of that article ' and ask you to get the September 23rd issue of the Post and read it for your self.
