Friend of Unions is Resid-
ing NoU in Los Angeles

w. w. Dodge, senator from the first
district il the Iowa legislature, father
of Iowa Labor Day, and former resi-
dent of Burlington, is now living In
Los Angeles. He has been stricken
blind, but in spite Of his loss of sight
still retains his cheerfulness and
philosophical disposition, The Citi
zen, published by the Union Labor
Temple association contains the fol.
lowing concerning Mr.. Dodge:
Trade unionists of Los Angeles will
be pleased to learn that the Father
of Labor Day" in Iowa, w. w. Dodge,
is now a citizen OF Los Angeles, resid
ing at 657 Wilmer street. This
staunch friend OF trade unionists Of the
Hawkeye state has suffered the mis-.
fortune to lose his eyesight.
Learning Of Mr. Dodge's great az
Fiction, the Trades and Labor assem-
bly, of Burlington (his native city,
adopted resolutions of sympathy, a
copy of which was forwarded to him
at his Los Angeles home. Through the
courtesy of friend '"The Citizen" is
enabled to publish Mr. Dodge's reply,
which follows:
Mr. Dear Frfends-It is with pro-
found pleasure that l acknowledge re-
ceipt of the resolutions adopted by the
Trades and Labor assembly of my ma
tive city, Burlington, Iowa, extending
to me the sympathy of their members
in the great affliction that has be-
fallen me, the loss Of eyesight. When
the resolutions were read to me l was
so deeply affected by the sincere and
loving feeling that prompted this ac-
ton that my eyes filed with tears and
my hearts tenderest emotions were
thoroughly aroused.
To be recognized by organized Ia
Dor as the Father of Labor Day
throughout the state of Iowa and fur
Their complimented by having my pic
ture placed on the wall of every labor
temple in Iowa confers on me an hon.
or greater than that of governor.
May be pardoned in acknowledging
that your resolutions have aroused
the most delightful recollections of
my senatorial experience in behalf of
organized labor during my eight years
of service from 1854 to 1892 in the
senate of Iowa?
When entered the senate discov-
cred that there was no standing COM
mittee" in the senate on Labor" and
all labor bills were being referred to
the judiciary. ways and means and
other committees and were thus being
delayed in reporting them back to the
senate for action. l succeeded in hav-

Country Boys Get Scouting.

Reports which were submitted to
the national council showed that
contrary to the general impression,
the Boy Scout program is proving to
be especially attractive and adapt
able to boys in rural communities,
and indeed in numerous cases 1t is
the only organized effort in behalf
of boys outside the rural school
In his report Mr.. James e. West,
the chief Scout executive, said that
of the 9.720 troops registered on De-
cember 81 last, 1927 troops were in
communities with less than 1000 in
habitants; 2.973 troops were in COM
munities with less than 5000 inhabi-
tants, and 3.34s troops were in COM
munities with less than 5000 inhabi-
tants, thus showing that over one
third Of the troops now organized
in the United States are in communi-
ties of less than 5000 inhabitants.
'Tt is this field which offers the
greatest opportunity for the further
development OF scouting" said the

lect, passed the senate. but did not
succeed In passing the house, through
no fault of mine.
AS | turn the leaves of the book OF
memory I am made most happy in the
mental pictures presented to me of
the days of my senatorial career in
my striving to have enacted into law
ali measures that would advance, pro-
mote and benefit the cause of organ
lied labor.
Trade unionism brings men to-
gether in q closer brotherhood. 1t
serves largely to destroy selfishness
that is so predominant IN our human
nature. 1t encourages one to assist
his fellow worker. It brings them to.
gether in common purpose for mu-
tual good. Il has encouraged labor to
look mp. and to hope for a brighter
future 1t has made capital recognize
the many where it would not the few.
The aims and purposes Of trade unions
are lawful and so recognized by the
courts. They have grown to such
enormous proportions that there is
scarcely family in this land but that
is represented in a trade union. I
hope they will continue to grow and
prosper, for they have placed their
members on new vantage ground in
the struggle for wellbeing.
Someone has aptly said that while
we prize our new friends we treasure
more the old. Though a long distance
and many years separate me from the
presence Of my dear old friends in
Burlington, I treasure and preserve
the faces and the love of these old
friends in the album of my memory.

created and was appointed member
of this committee and was therefore
afforded opportunity to have all labor
bills quickly considered and early re-
ported back to- the senate for action.
1 introduced bill. which became a
law, to protect trade unions in the
use Of their labels, trade marks and
forms OF advertising, and to prevent
and punish the counterfeiting of the
union label. recollect being told by
member OF the Cigar Makers Union
that this bill was worth more than
| $3.50, GOO a year to the Cigar Makers
Union In Iowa In preventing the Inn
, portation into the state of cigars made
by unskilled labor In the cheap tene-
ment houses in Pennsylvania and else
where, bearing the counterfeit blue
union labl. At the adjournment of
that session OF the legislature I re.
turned home and my attention was
called to the fact that a wholesale firm
had some cigars in boxes bearing the
counterfeit union label. I began
proceedings in the circuit court before
Judge Charles H. Phelps to prevent
the sale Of these cigars and to order
their destruction. The court upheld
my views and the firm shipped out OF
the state the cigars in question that
would have come in competition with
those in the Cigar Makers Union.
I also recollect with pleasure that
had filed for record in the state
house at Des Moines copy of the
Collar Makers Union label, which my
law required should be SO filed, and,
il my memory serves me right, this
was the first union label fled under
the requirements of the bill that had
enacted into law.

law, to strengthen the mechanics. lien

tween the owner of building and the
