WAR SAVINGS STAMPS BEST

President Of Columbia University.
l trust that every American
rich or poor. young or old, man
or woman, who can possibly do
so, will purchase, without delay,
a War Savings Certificate, and af-
fix TO it as often as possible a IS
War Savings Stamp. Not all Of
us can bear arms or serve on
ships. Not all of US can take posts
Of duty in the civil administration
Of the government. All Of us,
however, can do our part by exer-
cising rigid economy and making
monthly savings Of at least S.
which we can in this way lend to
the government.
A War Savings Stamp is the
best investment in the world. It
bears as high rate of interest as
a first-class savings bank can pay.
It is money lent directly to the
government TO aid In winning the
war for progress and democracy.
What more urgent call could be
made to our patriotism than this?
Every one OF us who is receiving
a salary or wages can do some
thing either through War Savings
Stamps or Thrift Stamps. Let
every American hasten to get one
or the other. and buy them Bys-
tematically.

PENNA. STATE FEDERATION OF
LABOR MET LAST WEEK.
Female Suffrage is Endorsed and
Prohibition Amendment IMAM
imOusly Opposed

Organized labor of Pennsylvania is
in favor Of the right of woman to vote
and be placed upon an equality with
men in the upholding of the welfare
of the nation politically and other
wise. The State Federation thus
placed itself on record at the meeting
held last week in Pittsburg and at the
same time opposed the ratification of
the proposed Prohibition amendment.
There was no uncertain sound in
either instance where organized labor
stood.
That there were no dissenting votes
was big surprise and the convention
broke into cheers when the results
were announced.
The suffrage resolution approved
the federal amendment, asked Sena-
tors Penrose and Knox to vote for it
in the Senate, and instructed the State
Federation executive board to canvas
candidates for the State Senate and
House to insure the amendments rati-
fication at the next session of the
Legislation.
The anti prohibition resolution
states that ratification of the amend
ment would mean almost if not COM
plete disruption of the several or
ganizations affiliated with the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor and "would
deprive the working class of this
country of the right to life, liberty
and pursuit of happiness and the right
to eat and drink that which their own
hands have earned"
The executive board and legislative
committee of the federation was in
structed to fight against the amend
ment at the next Legislature.
The election, closing the seven
teenth annual convention of the fed
GRAFTON after sessions lasing four
days, was preceded by the more than
400 delegates adopting by standing
vote, a resolution pledging labor's
fealty to the nation in the prosecu
tion of the war to a successful con-
clusion.

MICHIGAN "BONE DRY"

When Michigan became dry at mid
night on April 80, 1926 saloons and
siXty-tWo breweries went out of bus
mess. At the election in November,
1916, the amendment providing for
"bone dry" prohibition was adopted
by 10000 majority. Manufacturers
and dealers in liquor have had IS
months to dispose of their stock
Michigan breweries employed 1900
men and saloons 6,387. For several
weeks saloon men have been taking
up other trades. Some of the brewer
les will manufacture "soft" drinks,
and others, it is understood, will turn
out distilled products not prohibited
by law. A few beer plants will be
converted into ice factories.
In the year ended June 13 last
2,338,521 barrels of beer were brewed
in Michigan.
The latest figures from the Census
Department concerning the liquor in
dustry in Michigan give the follow
ing details: Capital invested, $12,-
384,O0O; salaries paid, $558,000; wages
paid, $1,073,0OO; cost of materials,
$2,421, 900; value Of products, $9,84O,-
