new GIN LAW IS
ExPL AIMED BY PAGE
Object Of Law Is To Pre-.
vent Loss And Provide
Systematic Marketing.

The new gin regulating law is en-
braced in the new Warehouse and
Marketing law. In a nutshell the
law charges all public gins with a
public use, which means that they
are for public service and are SUBJ
ject to regulation, the same as rail-
reads and other public utilities;
that they shall be licensed and bond
ed at the rate of one dollar for each
bale OF cotton they Gin; they shall
during the ginning take two samples,
wrap and seal them and endorse on
the sealed package the bonded gin
number, the weight of the bale, the
name of the owner, the owner of
the farm raised on, the name of the
6 inner, and a guarantee that
the samples are fair and true, that
the cotton was not ei1ned while
wet, that water or no other foreign
substance was put in for fraudulent
purposes,
The size of the press must be
standard, not more than 27x54
inches, and not more than seven
yards of standard baeeing shall be
used. A metal tag giving the bond
ed gin number and bale number
must be attached to each bale, so
it can always be traced and identi-
fled. 1t is violation Of the law to
gin cotton while wet; to plate a
bale of cotton; to take false samples
or practice fraud in ginning or pack
ing cotton, Or to fail to comply with
any of the requirements OF the law,
including the attaching of tags and
the taking Of samples. When two
samples are taken, one must be
sent to the warehouse and the other
given to the owner. If there be no
warehouse the ginner may give
both the samples to the owner or
may keep one with the consent Of
the owner. There is no provi-
sion against the ginner taking a
sample for his protection. The
sample must not be more than one
third Of a pound, and may be
smaller.
| have made a contract with the
U. S. Government for the co-opera-
tive assistance Of two or more cot
ton graders for the coming season,
and all cotton samples taken under
this law when sent to me will be
graded free OF cost and a report
sent to the owner. The grading
will be done by Government men
on Government Standards, adopted
by the Cotton Exchanges Of New
York, New Orleans, Atlanta, Men,
phis, Little Rock and twenty-six |
other cotton markets. Each cotton
exchange publishes official cotton
quotations on the different grades
every day and after your cotton Is
graded you can look up the cotton
market and learn exactly what
your cotton Is worth, because your
grade report will tell you exactly
what you have.

the brewery workers will awake to
the fact that they have simply been
tools in the hands of the very bosses
whom they at one time commend. and
another time fight with all the "mili-
fancy" of which the Brewery Work
ers are capable.
Mr.. Proebstle questions that l am
the field secretary of the Federal Coun-
Gil of the Churches of Christ in Amer
lea and insists that / am connected
with the Anti-Saloon League 1t is
true that when l was doing independ-
ent work a couple of years ago, / un-
dertook some. special work for the
League but for something like one
year / have had absolutely nothing to
do with the League in any way. All
my time has been given to the Federal
Council of the Churches of Christ in
America. However, l do not see what
my connection with the League has to
do with the facts
1t seems to trouble Mr. Proebstle
that l have attended the annual con-
ventions of the American Federation
of Labor, altho without a church or
congregation" Mr.. Proebstle seems
to forget that for practically fifteen
years | have been an official of nation
al religious organizations. During
L
attended the annual conventions of
the American Federation of Labor as
a fraternal delegate, representing
either the National PRESBYTERIAN
church or the Federal Council of the
Churches of Christ in America. This
was done in perfectly legitimate and
open and above-board manner-not as
Mr.. Proebstle calls sin a sneaking and
switching" fashion.
1t is long time since Mr.. Proebstle
himself worked in a brewery Does
this disqualify him from becoming the
International secretary of the Brewery
Workers Union?
He also appears to question the fact
that L am a former machinist-inti-
mating that became member of the
Machinists Union after / became a
preacher. | served five years as a
machinists' apprentice in the works of
R. Hoe Company of New York city
and then worked three years as a
journeyman. During the years that
/ worked at the job, "organized labor"
was practically dead in this particu-
lar plant and l was never invited to
become member of the organization
However, after l began my work as
superintendent of the labor depart
ment of the National Presbyterian
NHuiIi, was lilHIltu ny ATlnuT
Holder to become a member of the
Machinists Union, and in order to
show my personal attitude toward the
trade union movement, / promptly ac-
cepted this invitation. This was many
years ago and from that time to the
present / have been a dues-paying
member of the organization. And |
make no apology for my record in
this respect.
1t has become rather an interesting
question as to whether the trade un-
ionists of this country are to get thru
the regular channels of the labor
movement the facts regarding the
economic aspects of the liquor traffic,
or whether we are all of US to be muz-
zled by the Brewery Workers Union
and other branches of the liquor bust
ness within the labor movement.
CHARLES STELZLE.

STELZLE REPLIES TO PROEBSTLE AND
PUTS THE BOOZE EXPONENT IN A HOLE

dozen representative life insurance
companies in your town.
The companies that do insure brew
cry workers, compel them to pay ex-
ira premiums and handicap them by
other limitations. For example, a
brewery worker at the age of thirty
five would be compelled to pay the
same rates charged an ordinary work
ingman at from forty-five to fifty
years of age-and there are mighty
few insurance companies that would
quite right when he says that the
ability of brewery worker to obtain
life insurance depends upon his finan-
cial circumstances"
The minutes of a recent convention
of the American Federation of Labor
contains reports from one hundred and
ten national labor unions affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor,
as to the number of strikes and lock-
outs engaged in during the year. Of
the total number of organizations in
volved, the Brewery Workers ranked
eighth. Whatever the Brewery Work
ers gained in higher wages and better
conditions, they were compelled to
made between the Brewery Workers
and the brewers. Furthermore, Mr..
Proebstle frankly admits that there
is considerable slackness of work
during the winter season. Indeed it
is so great that they have reached an
agreement with the brewers that what
work there is must be divided equally
among all the workers. Why should
this be necessary if the brewery work
ers have such steady jobs.
AS indicated in our advertisement
study made by the United States
government of 259 manufacturing in
dustries as to the number of workers
employed during the busy months as
compared with the slack months
showed that ninety industries had a
higher percentage of steady work than
the malt liquor ndustry-which, of
course, includes the brewery business.
Mr.. Proebstle says that sit must be
obvious to every one with common
sense that the Stelzle propaganda is
part of bigger and more powerful
propaganda than coming from one
man" Mr.. Proebstle is dead right.
This propaganda is only a small part
of the rising tide of opposition and in
dignation which is spreading all over
the country against the domination OF
the labor movement by the liquor traf-
fic. And some day Mr.. Proebstle and
the men who have been working for

Editor Denver Labor Bulletin:
Joseph Proebstle, international sec
retary of the Brewery Workers Union,
has sent to the labor papers of this
country a characteristic statement re-
garding the publicity campaign
against the liquor traffic, which l am
conducting thru paid advertising in
the labor press.
Mr.. Proebstle asks: "Who pays for
the Stelzle advertisements ?" l wrote
to ten thousand people, asking them to
contribute toward this campaign. Nat
urally a very considerable number of
these men are employers of labor. l
am perfectly frank in saying that l
fight labor's battles-altho l may not
take such money for myself.
1t can be seen from these facts that
no corruption fund" has been OBJ
tained. The money thus far contrib
uted has come almost entirely in five
and ten dollar contributions. Some
very poor people have made contribu-
tions. This has been the most demo-
cratic propaganda imaginable, and it
has appealed to the people because
they are tired of having labor made
liquors goat"
Now as to the subject matter of
tne auVeTIlSe1nenCS 10 which Mr.
Proebstle takes exception. He denies
that the death rate among brewery
workmen is fifty per cent higher than
it is "among all unoccupied males," as
our advertisements say.
The study which covered a period
of two years, made by the "Medico-
Actuarial Mortality Investigation" ;"
which represents forty-three leading
life insurance companies in the Unit
ed States and Canada, states speci-
fically that the death rate among jour
neymen in breweries is fifty-two per
cent higher than the expected deaths"
and these figures We're obtained not
by prohibition cranks" but by the
best informed medical men and actu-
aries in this country, whose business
it is to find out how long men of GER
tain classes live, in order that they
might determine how much to charge
for life insurance premiums.
As to the ability of brewery work
ers to obtain life insurance the replies
received from forty life insurance
companies indicate that every respon-
sible company either refuses entirely
to insure men actively engaged as
brewery workers, or treats them as a
hazardous class" To try this out
for yourself, call up the agents of a
