The recent “no-raiding” pact agreed to be the Amer- ican Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations is one of several indications that unity of purpose is developing between the country’s two major labor- organizations. Though actual unification may be a long way off, the two major union organizations seem agreed that the advantages of cooperation outweigh the disadvantages. Both labor organizations have new presidents. Be- cause of this, and the knowledge that the present Admini- stration is pledged to consider the interssts of business as well as labor, there might be a normal tendency to pull | together. Or U.S. labor organizations might be finally coming of age, and the new trend may be the beginning of a period which will be climaxed by actual unification. In the United States, contrary to the situation in most countries, labor has not been unified into one organiza- or one party. We are inclined to believe the two-organiza- tion system is @ good one for the country, and that it is a healthy thing for labor to be represented, in fair degree, in’ each major political party. Some political observers preditt this condition can not survive many years, argue that history proves labor organizations eventually unite into a solid front. If they are correct, the new cooperation between the AFL and CIO might be the beginning of the end of the two-organization labor front in the United States. TARIFF BLOC SCORES President Dwight D. Eisenhower has reportedly ac- cepted a proposal which would increase membership of the United States Tariff Commission to seven. Heretofore that body has been composed of six members—three Re- publicans and three Democrats. Because that equal division caused frequent dead- locks in the commission, the so-called Tariff Bloc in Con- gress believes the admission of a seventh member would enable the commission to function more efficiently. (The commission makes recommendations to the President and the President may act on them or disregard them. If he! fails to follow the recommendations, however, he must ex- plain his action to Congress.) Business men argue that deadlocks in the commission | prevent action by that body, and that complaints result in| no action at all. Defenders of the six-member commission | believe if American business men cannot convince four of the six members of the merits of the case, no action by the commission is justified, | We are inclined to believe adding a seventh member | to the commission is a bad precedent. No doubt each suc-! ceeding administration will be tempted to stack the com- mission in its own favor. Of course, the significance of the | move depends upon the views of the seventh member, and | whether President Eisenhower accepts most of the com- Mission's recommendations. The President ean nullify the! significance of the change by ignoring the commission’s} recommendations, if he thinks them unwise. | While no final conclusions can be drawn, Eisenhow-| er's reported acceptance of the new plan is a point scored | by high-tariff advocates. | If you have something you want to sell, move letting The Key West Citizen sell it for you. it by | The trouble with many businesses is that the tors are out to get rich. opera- Trade, based upon taking advantage of anc ly proves profitable in the long run.

Mie: Frida under fi: « Receives High Decoration a colorf in color Korean War veteran Safety Notes By BILL GIBB You folks who insist on driving too fast might be stopped some night by Officer Armando Perez, Car No. 5. Perez is an excellent |officer who enjoys seeing other peo- ple have a good time but says: “People who drive for the thrill of speed had better find themselves a private race-track. A reckless | driver on the streets of Key West is a potential killer and needs to be called to account.” Since Perez also has a sense of humor, don’t be surprised if he stops you for speeding and com- mences his lecture with a bit of poetry such as: “They buried Speedway Spike today, Just came and carted him away. The hearse, I'll bet, seemed mighty slow For Speedy Spike just loved to go.” Jingles Charles Hinds, Department of State Police, Maine, has written quite a few jingles that are popu- |lar with the Key West police since the jingles emphasize a good ob- jective for this month: “SPEED CONTROL.” Officer Herman Conley, Car No. 2, has a Georgia draw! that is rather unexpected in a local police- man, The Navy Shore Patrolman who rides with him swears that the other night, he heard Conley deliver the following oration to the tail end of a car that he was pur- suing: “How fast you're driving little ‘ man, With all your hustle and flurry! Ease up on the gas and take your time. Honestly now hurry?” The Island of Key West should have one of -the best safety re- cords in the United States -- the limited amount of land makes fast driving totally unnecessary. How- ever, we have choracters who in- sist on racing even though they might just be going around the corner for an ice cream cone, If you ever happen to ride with a speed demon, remind him, (or, her), that SPEED KILLS, TAKE If EASY.
