Labor Waking Up
THE "NO-PARTY" CAMPAIGN is
BRINGING RESULTS
The Past Record of Candidates to De.
eide the Action to be Taken
by Organized Labor

Washington - Intensive statewide
non-p partisan political campaigns are
now being waged in 80 states by the
American Federation of Labor. In
addition to this, energetic local cam
paigns are under way in practically
all of the remaining states.
There are senatorial elections in
the 80 states where organized state
wide efforts are being made. The
records of senators in all of those
states are in the hands Of the central
labor bodies, bipartisan campaign
committees and local unions. These
records disclose the manner in which
senators voted on measures of inter-
est to labor and are calculated to
place before the voters the fact about
those senators who are seeking re-
election.
In at least 13 states there are in
tensiye campaigns under way in inn
portant congressional districts and
the number will increase as the cam
paign advances.
Reports from all sources indicate
a greater enthusiasm than has ever
marked labor's political activity.
Committees are being organized at
the rate of 100 per day. Typical of
reports received is one from Ohio re-
porting a convention of representa-
tives of central labor bodies from
over 40 cities, with the executive
council of the state federation of Ia
Dor, in which the non-partisan cam
paign was enthusiastically endorsed.
Reports of success already achieved
promise much for the future. There
is every indication that the people
are alert and determined. America
is a nation where progress is natural
and where reaction cannot long per-
sist. November will mark the turn
ing point.
"The masses of our people realize
the danger that confronts the repub-
lie as a result of the legislative re-
action and inefficiency. Everywhere
the determination is being made clear
to defeat those who have betrayed
the people, and to return to the next
congress men who will understand
the needs of the people, and whose
records are guarantees that they will
remain faithful"

King Speaks Out
PALMER is VIOLATING THE u. =.
CONSTITUTION
Department of Justice Refuses to Per-
nit Persons Arrested to COmmu-
nicate With Friends

Washington - The United States
constitution has been repeatedly vio-
lated by the department Of justice is
the charge of IL well-known attor-
neys. Their claim is supported by
numerous afidavits and exhibits,
which are published by the national
popular government league, Judson
King, secretary, Washington.
The pamphlet is entitled Report
upon the illegal practices of the
United States department of justice"
One Of the exhibits is the confidential
instruction that were forwarded to
the departments agents in New Eng
land who We're to conduct the raids
of January 2, 1920. Among other
things, agents were ordered:
Person or persons taken into
custody not to be permitted to COM
municate with any outside person un-
til after examination by this office
and until permission is given by this
office"
In calling the attention of the
American people to present policies
of the attorney generals office, the
attorneys say:
"lt has always been the proud
boast of America that this is gov
ernment of laws and not of men.
"Our constitution and laws have been
based on the simple elements of hui
man nature. Free men cannot be
driven and repressed; they must be
led. Free men respect justice and
follow truth, but arbitrary power they
will oppose until the end of time.
There is no danger of revolution so
great as that created by suppression,
by ruthlessness, and by deliberate
violation of the simple rules of Amer
lean law and American decency.
"It is fallacy to suppose that,
any more than in the past, any SER
want Of the people can safely arro-
gate to himself unlimited authority.
To proceed upon such a supposition
is to deny the fundamental American
theory of the consent of the governed.
Here is no question of a vague and
threatened menace, but a present
assault upon the most sacred prin-
ciples of our constitutional liberty"

N. Y. Association
Would Reduce Wages

New York-Henry Abbott, manu-
facturer and director of the ma
tional association of manufacturers,
declares that the workers must pre-
pare to accept a reduction in wages,
that having been determined at the
recent meeting of that body in this
city, He declares that each member
was told that he must work out his
own method of reaching that end.
He did not say that the policy agreed
upon will have the moral and financial
assistance of the entire membership
of that association. If that under
standing was not reached, what other
purpose has it for existence. Now
that he has served warning on the
workers, with the sanction of his as
sociation, it is high time the workers
should prepare to meet the emergency
by getting into the various unions
and insist on being consulted as to
whether they will submit to the auto
cratic orders he has assumed to issue.
In telling his story he says:
values are going to find their own
level rapidly. And they are going to
drag the high price of union labor
one of the things which has held
them upright along down with
them"
"The manufacturers will not have
hard tasks because like row of
bricks on end, if one falls the other
comes down with crash.
"We realize well enough that labor
will not voluntarily accept a lower
wage. But labor will do so when la
Dor gets hungry. And these wages
will not be set by the labor unions,
either"
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1920-06-11
Meeting of Educators

Washington - When the state
superintendent of 80 states met here
to discuss the needs of the education
al departments of their respective
states, United States Commissioner
of Education Claxton said:
"The great American public must
decide quickly whether it wants uni
versal education or not. Latest
figures obtained by the federal bureau
of education show that between 3O0,-
900 and 100000 children in the
United States last year were without
schooling. Approximately 70 per
cent of the people of the United
States left school at IA years of age
and 40 per cent did not complete the
eighth grade"
Delegates from various states sub
mitted reports on the shortage of
teachers ranging from deficit of 400
in the case of Indiana to 1,7O0 in
California. Only Massachusetts re-
ported normal supply of instructors
The organized labor movement has
always stood for absolutely free
public school education, including
free text books. The solution of the
problem of the children out of school
is to increase real wages to the point
where wage earners can give their
children a thorough education, enact
an effective national child labor law,
and then enforce the compulsory
school attendance laws now cluttering
the statute graveyards of every state.

Judge Gary's Two Sides

New York-Free speech and as
semblage is denied in western Penn
sylvania steel towns, but this was
ignored by Judge Gary of the steel
trust in his plea for law and the con-
stitution at a meeting of the Ameri-
can iron and steel institute, held in
this city.
Without the slightest trace of hui
NOR, the judge gave this advice to
his associates: "You must observe
the principles of the constitution, and
the provisions of the laws"
The Judge said the burdens of tax
alton are "almost unbearable" and
expressed alarm because, he said,
vicious men, mostly foreigners" are
creating unrest, dissatisfaction and
antagonisms. He did not say who
was responsible for the presence of
these foreigners, he made no refer
ence to conditions which make un-
rest possible, nor did he allude to the
recent wholesale arrest of trade
unionists in Duquesne, Pennsylvania,
when an attempt was made to hold
an open meeting in that steel baili-
wick.
All these were ignored by the
Judge. But he was very severe on
"agitators" and made a stern demand
for law and the constitution.

No Income Tax For
President and Judges

Washington - The United States
supreme court has ruled that pro-
posed amendments to the federal
constitution cannot be submitted to
a referendum in states which have
referendum provisions in their con-
stitutions. The supreme court holds
that when a state Legislature ratifies
an amendment to the constitution,
this is complete act and is not sub
ject to the referendum. The court
said the constitution provides that
the Legislature shall act on these
amendments.
The court has upheld the Non
partisan league legislature of North
Dakota in a decision which gives
that state power to engage in busi-
ness heretofore looked upon as pri-
vate. The Legislature passed laws
providing for bond issues to estab-
lish grain elevators, etc.
The court has declared void that
portion of the war revenue act
which provides that the president
and all federal judges shall pay an
income tax on their salaries. Under
the decision moneys paid by the pres
ident and these judges will be re-
funded. The suit was originally
started by Federal Judge Evans of
Louisville, KY, who contended that
the federal constitution prohibited
judges Salaries being diminished
during continuance in office" The
supreme courts majority opinion
held that such tax could be gradually
increased until the entire salary was
taken.
