going to vote solidly for labor's own

Mayor Byrne should receive the

creased. There was only one union in
the SO unions in the city that showed
any weakness in the matter, and be-
fore the end of the week that major
ity of that union had come out safe
and sure for Mayor Byrne. First,
last and all the time he is the choice
of organized labor and is the man for
whom organized labor is going to cast
it's vote. Organized labor knows that
he has always been it's steadfast
friend, that he has never during the
two years of his administration done
single thing that was not in support
of organized labor; that he has never
signed contract for city work that
did not specify that organized labor
should do the work; that he reduced
the workday of city employees from
nine hours, and in some cases 10
hours, to eight hours. and that he
increased the pay of city lahorers
from $3.50 per day to s2.25 per day.
That Is the man who has come out
in the present compaign to make the
