MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS The Associnted Press is exclusively entitled to the use for republication of all news dispatches credited to it or not other- fornia, Florida and Arkansas next Tuesday. In California voters will decide the fate of the | closed shop by voting yes or no on a proposal to |amend the State constitution by defining the “right {to work” as being free from interference because employee “does or does not belong to or pay money to a labor organization.” The adopticn of this proposal would outlaw not lonly the closed shop under which only members of a 1spvc|fi(‘d union may be hired by a certain employer, but also the union shop in which employees must join the union or lose their jobs, and also maintenance Aof membership in which members must keep their | dues paid up or be fired ballot through the anti-union Merchants and Manu- facturers Association of Los Angeles and also has won the support of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. In California the pmposul made its way to the| wise credited in this paper and also the local news published herein. Early reports indicated the proposal didn’t have a NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash. Al chance, but late developments bring doubt in spite aska Newspapel of the fact that California has 1,500,000 new war workers, most of them union men. Reportedly, the CIO hasn't pitched in against the proposal because | passage of such a bill would give the CIO a clearer field in invading AFL unions. And confidentitial polls show that 45 percent of the workers in Cali- fornia favor the amendment while 35 percent oppose it and 20 percent are undecided. Most of the rural areas are for the proposal. Constitutional amendments banning closed shops also will be voted on in Arkansas and Florida next | week. In Florida the amendment would make it illegal | to refuse to employ a worker because of membership | or non-membership in a union. Arkansas’ is similar. | LABOR UNDER FIRE Intolerance resulting from strikes in wartime have resulted in attempts in several Sta legislation outlawing the closed shop and other potent union weapons. Proposals will be State governments cannot tax lands held by the Federal Government, even when the land is held in trust for others, according to a ruling of the U. S.

I dropped in to chat with an editor out in Ponca City, Oklahoma, e time ugo. At the time I went into his office, I considered myself | amateur critic of Mr. Roosevelt. | At least, T knew that Mr. Roosevelt | opn.sldered me no amateur. I had\ watched him close-up for 12 long years and thought I knew a lot of the things that were wrong with him. _But before I had talked to that ;om City editor for 15 minutes, | found I didn’t know anything. He knew more about what was wrong with Roosevelt than all the news- men in Washington put together. | In fact, there wasn't anything right with him. And the longer that editor talked, the sorrier I got feeling for Mr. Roosevelt, until, by the time I left, I was definitely taking his side. Sometimes I wonder if that isn't one trouble with some of the news- paper critics in this campaign to-| day. Some of them are so bitterly anti-Roosevelt that people discount what they say. CRITICISM OF ADMINISTRATION ! Looking back over the years, I can remember a whale of a lot of ] criticism I have leveled at the Roosevelt Administration—day-in- and-day-out exposes, beginning with Jimmy Roosevelt’s insurance 'dn!s even before the 1933 inaugu-| ration and the kit bag deal Just | the inauguration, exposes h sent some leading Louisiana Democrats to jail while the White Hpuse stopped the prosecution; also how Mr. Hull was letting airplanes be shipped to Germany in violation of a treaty ‘even in 1938; and the tragic fumbling of the Spanish Civil War; the shilly-shallying on scrap iron; Roosevelt’s long-time refusal to recognize de Gaulle, and his knuckling under to Churchill in India. Three years before Mr. Dewey tsvlkpd about it, I pointed and kept on pointing to the Cabinet's quarrelsome old men; also exposed | the danger of a rubber tire short- HAIR STYLED by Experis WE SPECIALIZE Hours 9 A.

I started this letter by telling airplanes; and criticized a whole about the trials and tribulations host of other things, including the| |firing of Sumner Welles and the |bungling of Russian relations, | which criticism the White House| | certainly resented—vigorously, pub- licly, in blunt words hurled straight in my direction. | However, it seems to me that one | of the very important things in| this election is studying all the | qualifications of all the candidates. We have now had Roosevelt under |the most searching microscope in the world, the American press, for 12 long years. But when newspaper- men try to hold the microscope up to Dewey, it isn't so easy. Take, for instance, two illustrations. When you ask Dewey's draft Iboard in New York for the facts regarding his reported agricultural deferment during the period after | he was District Attorney and before he became Governor, you run up against a blank wall of silence. There may have been good reasons {for his deferment, but the draft 'board says it’s confidential, farming is easier than columning— especlally during elections, when both editors and readers bite off your head practically every day.

Cramer - — (e HOROSCOPE “The stars incline but do mot compel” SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 5 Benefic aspects rule powerfully today. At home and abroad Ameri- cans are under a most fortunate planetary government. HEART AND HOME: For many families the seers predict pro- tracted waiting for reunions with husbands, fathers and sons. Victory brings tasks which are as exacting as the course of combat. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Science is to prevent a financial crisis in the | postwar period, it is foretold. Banks |and bankers, heads of big business and professors of economics are to| unite with the Government in pre- venting a panic. However, there will be unemployment, even earn- lers of high wages in the war in- | dustries needing help. NATIONAL ISSUES: The cost of living will advance definitely in coming weeks, according to the |seers. Food and fuel will cost more; | they will be scarce owing to care lof war victims, The stars indicate |that our aid must be greater than in previous years. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Again astrologers prognosticate a long conflict in the Pacific where ‘the Japanese will reveal stubborn |strength. There is a sign, however, vv.hac is interpreted as overpuwering mxght for the United Nations and (such defeat of the enemy as has nol yet been foreseen. | Persons whose birthdate it is |have the augury of a year of in- | creasing prosperity.

It is a fortunate con- | figuration for the United States Navy. | HEART AND HOME: Again an | increase in the birthrate will be | definite, especially in the winter | months. Provision for the heating | of houses will be of greatest im- | portance, inasmuch as severe cold | is foretold for many parts of the ‘ ocuntry. | BUSINESS AFFAIRS ‘While | general prosperity will continue, un- employment will increase in coming |weeks. Astrologers long have stressed thrift but there will be Imany who have disregarded in- | junctions to save. Back of Govern- {ment planning economic laws will prove arbitrary, and there may be lean weeks for families who have earned good wages in the war in- dustries. NATIONAL ISSUES: Notwith- standing partisan principles, differ- ences of opinion must not impede | postwar plans for national welfare. /On the eve of election the public is reminded by the seers that Aquarian influences will promote the people’s cause. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Anglo-American relations will be- come even more cordial than in the past, it is foretold. Canada comes under a sway most fortun- ate for the future of the Dominion. There is a sign suggesting that the English-speaking peoples may oppose Russia in certain postwar issues, Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of mixed experiences.
