FARMER
PICNIC SUNDAY
AT ARLINGTON

At Arlington last Sunday there
was held a rousing picnic under the
auspices of the FarmerLabor Party.
On Friday night, the goth, an ex-
service man named Ferry delivered
violent and abusive TRADE against
the Nonpartisan League and the
Triple Alliance, and tried to incite
the people to a lawless act, that is,
the prevention of the holding of the
picnic of the Farmer-Labor Party.
Ferry is one of those ex-soldiers who
has forgotten that he fought ITO
make the world safe for democracy"
but is now fighting with his mouth
to make it unsafe for anybody.
The meeting was a huge success,
with tremendous applause given
speakers whenever they touched on
needs for a change in government
to bring back constitutional rights.
There were at least 600 citizens pres
ent. Jack Anderson of the Farmer
Labor County Executive Committee,
was the chairman and the entire day
was devoted to speechmaking.
w. j. Fortson, proposed candidate
for Representative from the Forty
afternoon George Louttit, who has
been unanimously endorsed by the
Triple Alliance and the Nonpartisan
League for Judge of the Superior
Court, made short speech.
Frank Pease made an appeal for
the Private Soldiers and Sailors Lee
gion, stating that another war spec
ire is menacing the American people;
that before Christmas, if they do not
do something to prevent it, the
American boys will again be in Eu-
rope, this time against Russia.
John Kennedy of Chicago declared
that the slogan of the producers
now is Bread for everybody before
anyone gets cake" and carrying out
that figure of speech he stated that
economies is the bread and butter
of the working class movement and
everyone must be grounded in it's
fundamental principles to operate
successfully all public utilities. He
maintained that producers must take
possession of all public utilities and
natural resources, asking twill you
stick together and own and operate
all public utilities and natural re-
sources" and the reply came back
strongly, eyes, We'll stick"
Rev. Bob" Whitaker of Los An
gees chose as his subject america
First" He said: "No man is a real
American who is not big enough to
love all lands and all humanity" He
then went on to show that not Ian
guage, religion, literature, commerce,
trade, nor democracy were born in
America, and that every nation has
contributed to what we have today
in this country.
In conclusion he said: "There is
only one way to win this fight for
democracy, and that is through soil
darity 365 days in the year"
William Bouck, master of the
State Grange, advocated backing the
peoples bank.
The afternoon ended with an appeal
by Mr.. Hess for subscribers to
shares in the Farmer-Labor bank.

Public Has Duties
AS Well AS Rights

Cincinnati, Aug. 21-"Before the
public has a valid claim for the full
recognition of it's rights on the part
of labor, it must have previously as
sunled its responsibilities and have
done its part in preventing conditions
of labor which are not only intoler-
able to labor, but which are a men
ace to the stability and the welfare
OF the nation itself" says John P.
Frey, editor international holders
journal.
''The public" says this trade union
ist, manifested little interest in the
long hours and low wages of street
car employees, until one morning it
was forced to walk down town be-
cause the street car employees would
no longer endure the intolerable con-
ditions of their employment.
"The miners have received such
small wages that they could not sup
port their families in decency. They
have been prevented from organic
ing by bands of hired mercenaries
whose existence has been permitted
by the authorities; their members
and their organizers have been killed
in cold blood, but the public took no
adequate steps to prevent these out
rageous and un-American conditions.
/ But the public, which had so eff
fectively evaded and ignored its re-
sponsibilities, clamored for legisla-
tive and administrative relief the mo-
ment the miners went on strike.
"The public, in respect to its
rights, is very much like many en-
ployers who are keenly conscious
Of their rights, but overlook OF
waive aside the reciprocal rights of
their employees.
THE foundryman who expects the
molders and coremakers to work for
MIN with the spirit of good will
must have indicated a spirit of fair
ness and good will towards his EN-.
ployes, for there are no rights en-.
Joyed by men which do not carry
with them equivalent obligations anc
esponsibilities."

Peonage Advocates
Checked in Kansas

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 21.-The su-
preme court has been asked to set
aside a decision by District Court
Judge Mechanism of Wyandotte
County in which he declared uncon-
stitutional a provision of the cant
strike" law making liable to arrest
any person who would influence 9TH
ers to strike.
Judge McCamish's reason was tech
meal and held that this provision
of the "can't-strike" law violates the
state constitution because the pro-
vision is not clearly expressed in
the title of the peonage act.
The court said that the legality of
the "can't-strike" law as a whole
was not before it, but the court in
timated his sympathy with the act
by this statement:
There is not and cannot be any
doubht that the State of Kansas,
through its Legislature, had the right
and power to deal with and settle
industrial disputes and that it's pow
er is ample to accomplish the OBJ
ject and purpose sought to be accom-
plished by the enactment of the law
known as the industrial court.
"The only thing for serious con-
sideration by this court is as to
whether in the effort made by the
legislature it has kept within con-
stitutional bounds"
Regardless of Judge Mechanism
reasoning, the fact remains that if
the decision is upheld it will be a
hard blow to the State Industrial
Court, which will be checked in its
attempt to silence strike agitation
in this state.
