GETTING READY
 FOR CONVENTION
 OF LABOR PARTY
Many State Labor Parties Now Organized-Cities in Illinois Elect Mayors on Labor Party Tickets

CHICAGO = The committee in charge of pre-convention work for the national labor party expefts a delega- tion at the national conVention on Nov. 22 from every state in lie union, re- ports Frank J. Esper, secretary of the committee. There are state Labor parties now organized, in eight states, these being North Dakota, Missouri, Illinois, Colorado, Wyoming, Indiana, New York, and Connecticut. Pennsyl- vania and Tennessee are now in the act of organization, and other states are waiting to see what the national convention will do.
 There is some discussion here as to what attitude the Socialists will take toward the new Labor party. There are few prominent socialists, how ever, who have taken part in the movement to organize state Labor parties. In Pennsylvania, for in- stance, James H. Maurer, prominent Socialist, is president of the State Federation, which has taken steps for organizing Labor party, and in Illi- nois, Duncan Mcdonald, former So- cialist, is the president of the new state Labor party organization. May ors have been elected in several small cities in Illinois by the Labor party.

BLAME STOCK JOBBERS
 FOR LIVING COSTS
Forcing the People to Pay Interest on Fictitious Wealth Responsible for High Prices

Stock jobbers and gambling, and forcing the people to pay interest on fictitious wealth are responsible for high prices of food and other necessi- ties, says Thomas W. Lawson, broker and authority, who presents his the ory in a vigorous manner in a local newspaper.
 ''The cause of high cost living is stock gambling-the main, the foun- dation cause," he says. "Stock gamb- ling is as surely the cause of high cost living as the sun the cause of heat.
 'You will ask if this is so why do not the people tackle the vital pro- gram from the stock gamble angle instead of spending time. along the present lines of agitation.
 ''The answer is, monied people are the beneficiaries of high cost living, of stock gambling, so the first duty agitated, is to do what they can to aid the system in steering the people off into the wilderness of logic that they will become, as they are today, bewil- dered to distraction-to the point where they will accept any fool reason instead of the real one.
 "The system has unlimited expense money at it's command, hundreds and hundreds of millions annually. It has a large part of the press to spread it's fool 'em' propaganda. Thousands of the very brightest men are on it's pay roll to spread it's fallacies, and hun dreds of thousands of volunteer agents, bank, insurance and corpora tion men all over the country to preach it's 'muddle 'em' arguments. Then it has senators and congressman, to say nothing of governors, mayors and town meeting blatherskites, to prove the whiteness of it's blackest pitch. Today the nations wealth is more than double $275, ,OoO, 100000. Of this additional $144, ,OOO, 100000 which came into existence because of the world

CIGARMAKERS IN LIFE
 AND-nE.ATE STRUGGLE

CHICAGO-A rare example of soli- darity is being given by the cigar makers in their life and death strug- gle to win recognition of the right to organize and to establish shop com mittees elected by the workers in a given shop to take up any grievance that may arise between employer and employe.
 Not single desertion from the ranks has taken plaee ever since the American Tobacco Company, the big trust of cigar manufacturers, on De- cember 21, 1918 threw down the gauntlet to the workers by decreeing that in the Chicago shops the foremen must no longer permit the collec- tion of dues for the union.
 From the Chicago shops the strike spread to New York, where the cigar makers went out in sympathy with the demands of their Chicago fellow workers. Later the strike became a general one, involving shops in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Florida, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana. Not only the factories within the Cigar Trust, but also nu- merous independent shops went on strike to settle once and for all the question of the right of the workers to their due.
 Altogether, about 12O, 1000 scigarmak- CTS, 80 per cent. of them unorganized, are fighting this battle for the right to be organized, for a standardized scale of wages, for human and sanitary con- ditions. They are appealing to organ ized labor to support them in their struggle.

and to whom it is almost impossible to get along without some alcoholic stimulant, is still securing it, although it costs him three or four times as much as it did before prohibition went into effect, and the quality is much below what it should be. Any fair minded citizen will tell you that they see the same old drunks and as many of them in any city they go to as they did previous to prohibition. The man who wants alcohol is going to get it no matter what the price is or where he gets it. And the government is it's sale either. Neither is the city or town.
 "Regulation of any business is always lawful, but prohibition is destructive. Prohibitive legislation, or any law prescribing what and when we shall eat or drink, shatters every foundation of liberty and every pre- cept of the bill of tights. Prohibition makes America rediculous in the eyes of every civilized nation, and it looks as though our only hope of escape from such a disgraceful situation lies in the Supreme Court rendering de- cision saving America from the perils arising from attempts to incorporate sumptuary legislation into the United States constitution. It is purely a matter of sectarian and class legisla- tion, and the rights of the people were not considered, but the amendment was foisted upon the country by pure fanaticism.
 'To enforce such an amendment as national prohibition would require 10,0O0,000 spies, informers and police officers. and I believe would result in national bankruptcy and revolution. All acts of man are subject to reason able regulative laws for the greatest

CAN PROHIBITION
 BE ENFORCED?
Officer of Connecticut Trades Union Liberty League Speaks Plainly on the Subject and Makes Frank Comment

DANBURY-According to John J. Carrick, secretary-treasurer of the Connecticut Trades Union Liberty League, prohibition, as far as it ap- plies to Danbury and some other sec tions of the state, is huge joke. In speaking of the matter MT. Carrick said:
 "The advocates of the prohibition law have been trying to mislead the public by claiming that they were working for the improvement of the unfortunate ones who drank to excess, and that the only remedy to be applied was the elimination of the saloon. Of course, some of these advocates were receiving splendid salaries for their work against license at the same time that the men engaged in the liquor business were buying Liberty bonds and War Savings Stamps to the limit of their capital in order to help win the war and thereby make the world safe for democracy The paid advo- cates of prohibition do not have to worry about going dry. Some of them have stocks of beverages stored away in their cellars which will last them for some time.
 .3The average citizen sees how the prohibition law works. The place of business which always lived up to the letter of the law is closed with it's stock on hand that netted the gov ernment $6.4O gallon. No provision is made for the proprietor to get his money back unless he becomes a law vio1ator. The places that wish to take a chance are still doing business. The 1aw-abiding citizen who used to go in the front door and get his glass of beverage after his days work is com pelled to go dry because he does not wish to violate the law, even though the temptations are great and numer- ous, but the man who drank to excess,

DANBURY LABOR NOTES

DANBURY - The September 2s meeting of the Central Labor Unio1 was pretty we'll taken up with dis cussion as to whether or not it would be advisable to take united action il the political campaign, and, while il is probable that some notice will be taken of the attitude toward organized labor of some of the candidates fo1 town offices, there will be no endorse. ment of any of the old parties candi- dates.
 Must Find New Home
 The building in which Bartenders hall is located has been sold and the new owners expect to occupy the en- tire premises, so it will be necessary for the central body to find new quar- ters. A special committee has the matter in charge.
 Delegates Delinquent
 Several of the affiliated bodies have not had delegates on the floor of the meetings for some time, and it was felt that in view of the uneasy labor situation it was important that all affiliated unions be represented at all meetings, so special committee, con- sisting of Secretary Riley and Paul Tambone was appointed to call on all un1OnS at thelr next meeClng, ana urge upon the members the necessity for renewed interest at the present time.
 Open Shop Corporation Stock Not
 Desired
 The Danbury Industrial Corporation came in for general raking over; it being the belief of those who ex- pressed their views that the organiza- tion, which is headed by Frank H. Lee, the head of the firm which bears his name, and which refused to sign union contracts over two years ago, was for the primary purpose of making Dan bury an "open shop" town. It was voted that all organizations be warned that the Central Labor Union believed it for the best interest of organized labor in Danbury that all union men and women refuse to subscribe to it's stock.

AMONG UNIONISTS
 IN NEW BRITAIN
Carpenters Very Busy-Machin-
 ists Progressive-Electrician Are Hive Wires" Cigar
 makers Honored by Invitation

NEW BRITANNIA this time there is some improvement in the Labor or ganizations in this city. The Carpen- terss report steady increase of work in the building trades. Some of the contractors are paying a higher wage rate than the agreement made last June with Local 97 calls for.
 Machinist's
 Local 684 is growing very fast, and the outlook for this branch of organ ized labor is very bright in this city. This is remarkable in view of the fact, of the autocratic methods which have been used in the past by the manufacturers against this branch of organized labor.
 Electrical Workers
 This live wire of organized labor in New Britain has increased their dele gates to the c. L. U. to five. These workers are worthy of commendation in the manner of doing business. They did not have much of show in the welcome home decoration which was no fault of theirs. In fact; we are very sorry to say that alI branches of organized labor received a frost from the Committee in charge of letting out the work.
 Painters
 These workers are showing more in terest of late, inasmuch as they had one delegate to report at the last c. L. U. meeting.
 Barbers We fear they are back sliders, as they have not been to any of the cen tral body meetings of late.
 Bartenders
 One delegate reported at the last meeting.
 Cigarmakers
 These workers report an increase in wages, and also they report an invi- tation to participate in the welcome home parade, which to our knowl- edge is the only organized branch of labor receiving one, but to their credit they did not accept. We are of the opinion, in view of the fact that other organized bodies of labor did not re- ceive invitations, that the committee in charge must have been looking for free smokes; if not why the invitation to the cigarmakers alone CD
 Bakers
 There is a steady growth of better conditions in this industry.
