Here we had a small minority acting hether they thought they were right, or not—and they no doubt did have their nund arguments—to upset the wishes of ill the other, neighbering iand owners. It was to be regretted that these non-co- operators could not have seen the neces- sity to subjugate }rsonal beliefs for the good of the whole.

Again we say, it’s too bad that con- demnation had to come. But, satisfied ihat the commissioners exhausted every other means to bring a satisfactory conclu- holesale purchase of the prop- to sion to the erty, The Citizen urges the attorneys make all possible haste in the procedure. The army sub-airbase is going to mean a lot to Key West and Monroe County. Thousands of dollars of additional income per month will accrue. Preliminary steps have proven that the project is bonafide— t two federal agencies want the airport and stand ready to perform their major tion of the work. It is imperative, then, that the county’s share of the deal be con- summated with all pessible speed.

DENOUNCES RACKETS We hasten to congratulate the Amer- ican Federation of Labor on its action in recognizing the responsibility of labor or- ganizations to prevent rackets and rack- eteering from preying upon business and the public generally. The labor union that works for the benefit of its members is justified, by its results. The same cannot be said about the alleged “union” that has been utilized to blackmail employers into the payment of protection fees and which, in the hands of callous, gangster-like leaders, have never been much concerned with the wel- fare of workers. The rackets that have plagued large cities have not represented responsible labor leaders, the rank and file of or- ganized labor or the American people. That the American Federation of Labor is turning its attention to their nefarious schemes speaks well for the Federation, which deserves a vote of thanks from the | public at large.
