THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1948 (HE DAILY TI MES-GAZETTE PAGE NINE Unions Intensify Campaign Against Taft- Hartley Law By C. R. BLACKBURN Onadian Press Staff Writer Washington--(CP)--Organized la- bor's threat to destroy the Congress which passed the Taft-Hartley la- bor Law has borne little fruit so far but the drive is expected to in- tensity this summer, 3 All 435 seats in the House of Rep- reseéntatives are at stake in the elections next November, Already 132 members have sought nomina- tion for re-election and only seven have lost. \ None of the seven lost nomina- tions were caused conclusively by labor union opposition. , Both the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industri- al Organization seemed determined last year to take revenge on the Congress which passed the Taft- Hartley act over the President's veto. : The act, setting up provisions to curtail the power of iabor leaders to tie up industry and services and establishing a mediation and con- ciliation board, was passed when 331 members of the House and 68 of the 96 Senate members voted to over- rule the veto. Senator Robert Taft, co-author of the bill and now a presidential candidate, has felt little effect from labor opposition so far. Republican Hartley of New Jersey is not a candidate for re-election but it is a matter of record that he made his decision before the labor act was even written. In a number of primaries for nominating present House members the labor union efforts to defeat the incumbent have signally failed. Ma- Jority leader Charlie Halleck of In- . diana, opposed by a union man and one of six republican members fac- ed by opposition in the party prim- ary, won by about 30,000 votes to 6,000 for his labor endorsed oppo- nent. All his fellow Indiana repre- sentatives were nominated too. However the battle is far from over. There are 303 House nomi- nations yet to be fought out and anti-Taft-Hartley act candidates may win some of them. The labor unions are expected to send political action workers into the election campaign proper to a degree never before witnessed here. It is understood they have a large and growing fund. : Their system is expected to be that of dividing every electoral district into. blocks with represen- tatives in each responsible for knocking on every door, getting every eligible voter registered and trying to see that he .votes for those | who are willing to repeal the Taft- Hartley labor. law. Meanwhile the new labor act does not seem to have played a very im- Werry, ' ; i | Misses 'Annie and Effie Wright, of [] Oshawa, attended the funeral o Canadian (arden their cousin, the late Mrs. Andrew | S . 1 9 4 8 Power, of Lindsay, (nee Nora S.| mae . formerly of Blackstock). | ervice Service was held in the McArthur! ot -- funeral parlors, Lindsay, and in-, The business of improving flow- terment took place in Salem Ceme- |ers and vegetables does not stand tery. | still.

Plant breeders are constantly striv- ing for new colors, more disease re- sistance and hardier and earlier plants among flowers; more tender and quicker-growing vegetables. Short Cuts The experienced gardener knows many short cuts to hurry growth along. In dry weather he will, if at all possible, soak the garden once a week. Where no hose is available he will have things like lettuce, tomatoes and beans close to the house or pump so that they can be watered with the minimum of inconvenience. He also knows that weeds are moisture-robbers and these he will keep removed so that the vegetables wanted get all the moisture that nature 'provides. A weekly cultivation equals a show- er because it tends to conserve moisture and a small dose of coms- mercial fertilizer is equivalent to another. For a Dazzling Show A really dazzling show of bloom can be made with a few annual flowers sown or planted even at this late date, and it won't mean much work. Cosmos, giant mari- golds, zinnias, petunias, 'portulaca, nicotine, alyssum, asters, stocks, spiderworts are all easily grown al- most anywhere in Canada. Some of the larger flowers like cosmos, mari- | golds and nicotine can actually be | used in place of shrubs. At this | date, of course, one should use started plants which will bloom in a few weeks. These can be Jecured | from ,any greenhouse. Preference should be given to well! branched | plants of good deep color. For husky growth the bigger types like gladi- olus, dahlias, giant marigolds and zinnias should have about two feet | each way. Petunias, nasturtiums, | medium marigolds need about a foot or two apart for best results-- smaller things like alyssum require six inches each way.
