Union Label Withdrawn

Word comes from Louisville,
Ky, that two of the tobacco fac
tories in that city have declared for
non, union shop and one OF them
has locked out its employees. In
thereof the Tobacco
Workers International Union has
withdrawn the label from both
these firms and declared them un-
far to organized labor.
The tobacco firms above referred
to, are the Ryan Hampton Tobac-

time the agreement was signed in
January many things were prom
ised them which the company has
since refused to give them. Among
others the men were to receive full
pay for the time they put in on
dead head runs; that is the time
they had to put in going to and
from to where their run started
and stopped. This means much to
the men especially on the main
line. This pay they never re
ceived, The men also claim that
the company has been discriminat
ing against those who have been
active in the affairs Of the union.
1t seems that the company when
approached on the promises made,
simply put the men off from time
to time with more promises. The
men say that they would have
been justified in walking ont long
before they did but knowing the
inconvenience the public would be
put to they refrained from doing
so.
To make matters worse 1t seems
that the company is determined
that the men must work with a

Samuel Gompers.

The establishment of prohibition
would be impracticable and would
put premium on the sale of in
toxicating drinks. When law is
fagrantly and habitually violated
it brings legislation iuto contempt.
1t creates spirit of deception and
hypocrisy, and compels men to do
insidiously and by stealth what
they would otherwise do openly
and above board You cannot leg
islate men by civil action into the
performance of good and righteous
deeds. s.-Csrdinal Gibbons.

What Noted Men And Newspapers
Say On Prohibition.
Repeat That The Prohibition Campaign Has No Place In Ou
Affairs OF Today" Says Samuel GOmpers

In recent public utterances, the
President of the American Fedora
ton of Labor has been emphatic
in his denunciation of prohibition.
Here az quotations from inter-
views and statements made by Pre-
sident Gompers:
We are at a period in our ccun
try's history when unity of action
and purpose is essential. We are
in a great world conflict fighting
for the life of democracy and self
government 1t seems to me that
the radical prohibitionists, arpre
ciating the gravity of the times
and bigger things at stake, might
delay the projection of fight over
prohibition. F."
1 know there are millions of
Americans today who drink their
glass OF two of beer or light wine
and are no worse off for it--e;ther
as wage earners or citizens.
Suffice it herein to state that
my travels, observation and exper-
fence show beyond a measure Of
doubt that prohibition by law is an
iniquitous proposition that carries
within It's wake denial of freedom,
fails to accomplish the purpose of
curing the drink evil-an evil ad-
mitted by all-that it (prohibition
by law is violative of the fumda-
mental principles of human freedom
and that there is no agency so po-
tent to make men temperate In all
their habits as the much misunder-
stood and misrepresented organized
labor movement.

Then he spoke at length upon the
Importance of the military salute and
ordered it's universal use both inside
