FIGHT ON CANNON.
Illinois Federation Of Labor Enters the
Political Field.

Streator. Ill, Oct. Misunderstanding
Speaker Joseph G. Cannon as lone Of
the most uncompromising foes with
which organized labor has ever had to
contend the convention of the Illinois
Federation of Labor gave its official in
dorsement to John II. Walker. the trade
union candidate for congress In the
Eighteenth district. The political pro-
gramme OF the American Federation Of
Labor vase unanimously approved and
trade unionists throughout the state arr
urged to work and vote against N. L
P1otrowski Democratic candidate for
state treasurer.
It was the first time in the twenty
four years of its existence that the state
federation as q body entered the politi-
cal arena. At the time the action was
taken Miss Mary Mcdowell Of the Uni
versity of Chicago Settlement was pre-
siding over the convention She was
called to the chair during the temper
airy absence of President Cohen and
several political resolutions were adopt
ed while she welded the gaveT.
The lethargy Of the delegates which
marked the proceedings of the two
previous days disappeared and today
the convention settled down to business.
Thirty-five resolutions covering a varie-
ty of subjects We're adopted. The con-
Vention voted down a suggestion to
form an Independent political party and
decided instead to work In the interests
OF every union candidate aspiring for
any office regardless of his party affili-
atoms.
The condemnation of Speaker Cannon
was the result Of his opposition to the
eight-hour and the anti-injHnction bills
in congress.
PiotrowsAi was condemned because
he is president Of the Polish Publishing
company, which has refused to grant
the printers an eight-hour day, and Is
now publishing a Polish daily newspaper
with nonunion men. The resolution was
introduced by delegates from the Polish
printers union, and it provides that the
/ secretary notify all unions and central
labor bodies throughout the state.

An army of this sort of victims have by one

One man tells another man, and in this way the
news spreads in all parts Of the country are
to be found men who have been permanently nber-

Suggestions Worth Heeding.

Attention has been called to the I'M
tidy condition of our streets caused by
waste papers. Much of it is due to the
custom of dropping hand bills ON pi-
azzas or at doors and distributing them
on the streets among passersby. In
many places receptacles are provided
for waste papers, which are gathered at
regular intervals and sold. but as we
have nothing of this sort at present,
the work can only be accomplished by
individual effort. If we must have
these hand bills passed to us, let us at
least carry them until we reach some
place where they can be properly dis
posed of. or refuse to take them. We
are all proud of our town and should
realize that civic cleanliness is the first
essential of civic beauty,
Another Objectionable form of adj
vertsing is that of lacking bills upon
trees. However praisew0rthy the OBJ
iect advertised, this is not "A proper way
to bring it before the public; neither is
it profitable one, as the bills are soon
torn off by the wind, leaving only the
corners held by the tacks Let us not
disfgure the beauty of our trees by
displaying advertising matter thereon
