To protect tbe public from im-
posters soHciting donations for
space in bogus labor publications,
year books, time books and various
schemes allegedly for the benefit
of organized labor, the Texas La-
bor Press Association was organ-
ized seven years ago by heads of
the various journals and news-
papers recognized as representa-
tive of the Labor movement in
Texas.
These bona fide Labor publica-
tions are:

retroactive to March 4.

late, and poorly-organized. Farmers
sa ythat they vote against McDonald
but that the city people elect him.
And as a result, the opposition to Mc-
Donald hasn't been successful, so far.
This year, it looks like the Organ-
ization may be a little wider. It re-
mains to see how effective it will
be.
The candidate this year is Rep. W.
R. Chambers of May, a member of
tbe Legislature and a farmer. He
has the full support of the members
of the Democratic party organization,
who are quite open about it.
Theoretically, party officers aren’t
supposed to work for one candidate
as against another in the primary,
but going on the theory that Mc-
Donald isn't a Democrat, they feel
that they can openly support Cham-
bers without too much risk.
Ab a matter of fact, there will be
an attempt at the meeting of the State
Democratic Executive Committee June
10 to leave McDonald's name off the
the primary ballot, but this hot-head-
ed view is likely to be turned down
by the majority of the committee.
Besides, being practical about it, such
an action would make it reasonably
sure that McDonald would become
the underdog, and win re-election on
sympathy in a write-in campaign.
As for the other issues in the cam-
paign, there aren't many. As a Demo-
crat. Chambers is likely to spend
more of his time in office tending to
the jobs assigned him by the Legis-
lature. and less time running to
Washington and to the newspapers
with attacks on Federal farm policies.
McDonald's latest such deal was to
file suit in Federal court in Wash-
ington trying to enjoin the govern-
ment from requiring cotton specula-
tors to put tip more cash before they
could speculate on tbe price of cot-
ton. McDonald thought it was un-
constitutional to limit speculators in
Another such Job is that of Comp-
troller, but George Sheppard is hav-
ing to take time away from his books
to run for re-election this summer.
Clifford Butler of Houston, Shep-
pard's perennial opponent, is out ckm-
paigning for the job again, despite
the fact that he got only 100.000 to
Sheppard's 585,000 votes in 1944
Color has been added to this quiet
campaign by the red ink on Butler s
campaign cards, and by a picture of
the large rocking chair to which But-
ler wants to retire Sheppard.
Again, it's a race without an issue,
because what the Comptroller does
is a bookkeeping job prescribed by
the Constitution and the Legislature,
and without much discretion one way
or another. There isn't the Demo-
crat-Republican issue, because Shep-
pard was one of the four State offi-
cials who spoke up for Roosevelt
in 1940.
State Federation
Report for May
, now all announced, and except in a
very few laitances, the incumbents
are being vigorously opposed. Of the
J50 present members of the House of
Representative, 46 will not seek re-
election. One member is deceased
(Mr. It N. Oriahan of Eastland). In
the Senate, at the 15 Senators whose
terms expires at the end of this year,
five will not seek re-election. One
senator is deceased (J. Franklin
Spears, of San Antonio. Senator
Spears was a hold-over, and a spe-
cial election Will be necessary to fill
his place. Hence, it is certain at this
time there will be a thirty per cent
change in the personnel of the next

Candidates for the legislature have
it is not possible as this report is
written to give any precise informa-
tion on candidates for state adminis-
trative office.
We are preparing the records of
legislative contestants, and will fur-
nish them to their respective locali-
ties as soon as possible.
Convention
The delegates' duplicate creden-
tials for our coming convention are
arriving at the office tn considerable
number. Every indication is that we
will have a rousing meeting. An un-
usual number of very fine speakers
have accepted invitations to address
the convention, and a constructive
session is anticipated. May we again
cal) the attention of the financial of-
ficers of the organizations to the fact
that the certificate, of membership
on the credentials must be signed by
the financial secretary or treasurer.
This Is a requirement of the Federa-
tion law. and is necessary, that your
re-election credentials may be acceptable and in
good order.
The Houston Labor Movement, who
are to be boats to our 1946 meeting,
have arranged a very excellent pro-
gram for the entertainment of the
visiting delegates, and it is hoped
that every affiliated organization will
be represented.

By Owr Austin Correspondent
It appears from here that the big
issue in the Democratic primary race
for Commissioner of Agriculture will
be whether or not the Democrats
think J. E. McDonald is a Republican.
McDonald has been Agriculture
Commissioner for a long time, and
most of that time he has been found,
nationally, in the Republican camp.
He was outspoken for Landon. Will-
kie, and Dewey, and he was one of the
organizers of the American National
Democratic Committee which formed
the national nucleus of the plot to
steal the electoral votes which be-
came the Texas Regular plot here in
Texas.
McDonald has been continuously
renominated and re-elected as a
Democrat despite his opposition to
the Democratic party and its platform
and its principles, and the natural
question is:
How can he run for the Democratic
nomination if he isn't a Democrat?
The courts have ruled on that. It
is their learned opinion that no mat-
ter what an office-holder does be-
tween primaries, If he says that he’s
a Democrat when time comes to file
for a place on the party primary bal-
lot, the party can't keep him off the
ballot.
The courts have further held, how-
ever, that if a nominee of the Demo-
cratic party beats the bushes for the
Republicans between the primary and
the general election, thereby violat-
ing his pledge to support the nomi-
nee of the primary, the party has the
right to name a new Democratic
nominee for the general election bal-
lot. That may be the only way the
Democrats can get rid of McDonald,
because for years he's been able to
get the . nomination of the party, no
matter bow often he violated his party
pledge.
In past years, he has always had
their inalienable right to juggle cotton
prices. He was Joined by most of
the speculators and by one man who
described himself as a farmer and
who gave his home as Dallas, a city
with a high percentage of farm popu-
lation. Houston Is another farm town
which usually goes with McDonald.
Actually, Chambers would do as
good, if not a better, job as Commis-
sioner of Agriculture. It's another
one of those administrative jobs
which should be under cjvii service
and which has no business in politics.

To All Affiliated Organizations,
Greeting:
During the month of May. your sec-
retary made a trip to West Texas,
and attended a number of labor meet-
ings in the extreme western part of
the state, and found the labor move-
ment in that area aggressive and ac-
tive. and in a healthy condition. Field
Representative Walker has visited a
number of areas, as well as attend-

natorial contest, and It is doubtful if
any additional serious candidates
will enter this race. There is a pos-
sibility that there may be additional
important candidates in the lieuten-
ant-governor's race This also is true
in the contest for attorney general,
which will be vacant by reason of
Attorney General Sellers' announce-
ment of bis intention to run for gov-
ernor. Neither of these races is yet
necessarily complete. The Commis-
sioner of Agriculture has opposition:
and there are several contests in the
Judiciary that will be of interest to
labor.
The deadline for announcements
tor these offices is June 3d. but the
law provides that candidates have
ten days in which to post their filing
fees; hence, many now entered may
pull their money down, and others
may, at the last minute, come in, so
more friendly and sympathetic to la-
bor may be secured.

with the coming convention, and the

are coming in rapidly.
Your secretary has been appointed
by President Green to serve as a
member of the Executive Committee
and as a member of the Southern Or-
ganizing campaign Policy Committee,
in the southern organization drive of
the American Federation of Labor. A
meeting of this Committee will be
held in Atlanta on June 3d. to outline
a program for the deep south.” At
a later date, when the program for
the ''deep south” gets under way, a
meeting will be held at an appro-
priate point to set up a program for
the southwest, particularly in Tex-
as and Oklahoma. The organizations
will be advised, as the situation de-

It should be the purpose of the American Fed-
■ ■ ' N
eration of Labor to devote its energies to the eli-
mination of unwarranted discretionary authority
wherever and whenever it is transgressing or re-
placing government by law—the law enacted by
the people’s duly elected representatives for the
benefit and protection of the people.
We must insist that the regulation of our ac-
tivities as citizens and as workmen by duly enact-
ed legislation must be protected by the constant
and fearless expose of what is developing under
the insidious operation of government by discre-
tionary powers.
We should pledge ourselves here and now to
oppose this development as vigorously as we will
oppose the regimentation of labor through the
conscription of labor.
We have pledged ourselves to contribute all
of our resources and capabilities to the winning
of the war. Let us now solemnly pledge ourselves,
while so doing, to use every energy we possess to
protect the wage-earners of our country from
these twin evils—compulsory control of labor by
the government through discretionary authority.
