NEW IBERIA ROAD WORK
UNDER WAY.

The Lafayette Gazette says:
"Those who have occasion to
make an auto trip between Lafay-
cite and New Iberia will hear
with much pleasure the news that
the only bad spot in the Southern
National highway between these
two cities is fast being eliminated
by the contractors. A trip over
the road few days ago found the
contractors, with laborers and
tractors and teams stretched over
practically the entire portion Of
the road running through the St.
Martin corner.
Considerable gravel aready has
been unloaded alongside the road
and the work of building bridges
and culverts is under way, while
the road itself has been torn up
,, and new roadbed is being built
When completed this new stretch
Of highway will bring the two
cities twenty minutes closer and
offer a continuous stretch of hard
surfaced smooth highway twenty
miles long and furnish an ideal
motor trip for those who enjoy
such diversions.
The contractor figured that it
would require couple of months
to complete the work, if favored
by normal weather conditions,
and it is assured that by Septem-
Der / one will be able to glide
from Lafayette into New Iberia
by auto in about forty minutes
without running any risk what
ever Of being pinched for speed
ing. Such a road will vastly in
crease business and social rela-
tions between the two cities and
undoubtedly contribute no small
degree in the extension of trade
for both cities"

band, again entertained with a
most pleasing program last Wed.
nesday night in front of the
Court House, the members all
seeming in fine fettle and playing
with d dash and spirit that evoked
much applause from the as
semblage.
When America-the final mum
Der was played the music fans al
turned away with a feeling of re.
greet and all seemed to wish that
the band would continue the con
cert for another hour.
The band Ia rounding int
grand form and each and every

WIN IN POLITICS
ALL ALONG Line
Union Labor Scores Many Vic
tories In Campaigns Against
Political Foes,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-It would
be necessary for the A. F. of L. ma
tional bipartisan political cam
paign committee to publish a daily
newspaper if full publicity of labor's
success at the recent primaries were
recorded.
In a letter to the national COM
mittee, John J. Quinlivan, chairman
Of the non-partisan committee of the
Toledo central labor union, reports
that. at the primaries a sweeping i've
tory was. scored for true American
ism and progress, and solid delega-
ton, pledged to remedial legislation,
will be sent to the state legislature
and the reelection of Congressman
Sherwood is expected.
1--WE have made a good start"
writes the Toledo trade unionist, land
we will defeat the few who slipped
through our net, for we are not go
ing to. lose sight of the fact that we
must elect a fair governor, attorney
general and United States senator.
mo publicity was given our efforts
by the daily press, but results speak
for themselves. We spent about" $500
to get the information to our people,"
Reports to the national committee
at A. F.. off, headquarters show that
|an the primary election" In the" Fifth
Congressional district: Of Oklahoma
the. trade unionists nominated 2e out
Of So nominees on the Democratic
ticket and ~ out of 20 on the Repub-
lican ticket. In his letter to the ma
tional committee the chairman Of the
Oklahoma non-partisan committee
expressed regret that we didn't put
the whole bundle over" but declared
that the "slate will be cleaned in No

PUTS.VAL|DI7Y'
OF LAWS UP TO
HIGHER COURTS
Philadelphia Judge Does Not
Believe Trial Court Should :
Pass On Their Validity.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 26.-In a
trial involving violation of the Vol
stead act Federal Judge Dickinson
said he does not believe in the policy
of trial courts rendering decisions on
the constitutionality of laws passed
by congress.
II firmly believe and have believed
in all my professional career" said
Judge Dickinson, that constitutional
questions are for appellate courts to
decide.
"Even If believed this law to be
unconstitutional, or even constitu-
tional, I would not say so, judicially,
but would merely decide it's applic-
ability to the individual case and pass
it along to the appellate court for a
decision on the constitutional points,
Judge Dickinson's views are con-
trary to those expressed by Federal
Judge Thompson, who ruled that a
certain section Of the Lever food con-
troll act is unconstitutional.

STILL FEED SAME JUNK
ABOUT lAB0R'S STRENGTH

Nearly everyone is a worker, and
those workers who have not belonged
to unions, yet constitute nearly if not
quite 80 per cent ST all workers. have
rather suddenly learned that, they are
30 per cent and Hnot an insignificant
and altogether -powerless* minority.
It is a great dev> ~:..>E1ent that the 30
per cent have leal4.eu that they are
80 per cent and that the hands of the
80 per cent are raised against them.
Some of the 80 per cent wish to be-
long to unions, but the great major
ity do not. They feel that they can
get along we'll enough provided they
are protected, from the 10 per cent"
From the American Metal Market
and Daily Iron and Steel Report.
The foregoing is the kind Of junk
that is being constantly spread broad
cast by special interest and trade
papers,. The lie. has been exploded
visits, but it is kept travelling never
theless for no other purpose than to
keep the workers divided by making
unorganizcd workers believe that the
organized toilers are their enemies
and should b. opposed. The truth is
that the organized: workers directly
represent at Tease rs per cent of the
people. and indirectly very large
majority who wollld be hcpelessly en-
shaved if it were not for the defensive
efforts of the unions.

court RULES IN
FAVOR OF LABOR
Advocates Of Labor Peonage Are
Handed Severe Jolt By
Kansas Court.

TOPEKA. Kan. Aug. 26.-The SUI
preme court has been asked to set
aside decision by District Court
Judge Mechanism of Wyandotte coun-
ty in which he declared. unconstitu-
tional 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
nical and held that this provision of
the "can't-strike" law violates the
state constitution because the provi-
sion is not clearly expressed in the
title of the peonage act.
The court said that the legality of
tho ."cant- strike" law as a whole was
not before it,, but the court inti1nated
his sympathy with the act by this
statement:
There is not and cannot be any
doubt. that the state of Kansas.
through it's legislature, had the right
dustriaf disputes and that. it's power
is ample to accomplish the, object and
purpose sought to. be accomplished
by the enactment of the. law known
as the industrial court j.; , ,
1.-The only thing for serious consid-
Grafton by this. court is as to whether
in the effort made by the legislature
it has kept within constitutional
bounds" 49, *
Regardless of Judge McCamish's
reasoning, the fact remains that if
the decision is. upheld 1t will be a
hard blow to. the state Industrial
court, which will be checked in it's at
tempt to silence strike agitation in
this state.

WASHINGTON, Aug. rs. - APP
proximately 10000 navy yard en-
ployes have filed rate schedules with
the new navy yard wage board which
range around an increase of rs cents
a day This board supercedes the
old plan of having wages set by local
boards, composed Of naval officers.
For years the workers have in
sisted on civilian representation. and
in the present case they are repre-.
sented by Secretary A. J. Berries Of
the A. F.. of L. metal trades Depart
ment. The decision Of the board will
be passed upon by the secretary OF
the navy.
The work of the board to ascer-
tain a living wage for employees is
handicapped by reduced appropria-

KANSAS EMPLOYERS ARE.
BEGINNING TO MuRMUR

Ouch! Kansas employers are be-
ginning to murmur against Governor
Aliens ''can:t-strike" law. The en-
ployers are regulated under the law.
but they were willing to accept this
if labor could be handcuffed. AS far
as labor is concerned the law is a
failure, and the employers see that If
it is to be enforced the state must in
augurate an extensive jail-building
system. John S. Dean, Topeka law
yer and president of the anti-trade
union Kansas Employers association,
gives this warning to Governor Allen
that his legislation is doomed because
it has failed to control labor, and that
it must not be used against the en-
ployers:
# the law may require Gas it does)
that a private industry may not cease
production without q permit from the
court of industrial relations, it will
follow that the law may forbid the
farmer to- reduce his production or to
cease production. A little widening
Of the circle and this court will be
debating to the. farmer just how
many acres of wheat, corn, potatoes,
etc, he shall cultivate and also fix
the price he must accept for the
same. -
Insofar as the Kansas Industrial
Court law undertakes to- clothe the
state with general regulatory powers
over: private industries, and the ltb-
erty of the workers and partisans to
accept or reject any schedule of
wages offered, it is unconstitutional
Of which this generation furnishes
any example, f..

BIG FARMS Blamed. FOR
Failure. oF>FOOD CROPS

The scarcity Of farm help is urged
in many quarters as the cause of re-
duced production of food. That this
is not the real cause is made: clear by
an Iowa paper, the Pella Chronicle,
published in, an agricultural region
and knowing whereof it speaks. Says
the Chronicles:
-"Everyone knows that some land
owners have many hundred acres
while others have only comparatively
small farms Of 40, 80 or 100 acres,
which they cultivate without hired
help. To the community the latter
appears the ideal situation. The large
landowner is obliged to have help to
cultivate his land. which is now ex-
tremely hard to obtain. In fact we
have read Of the danger Of reduced
production on account of the scarcity
of farm hands. This danger would
not exist if the farms were no larger
than the owner or tenant could Gull
tlwate without hired help"
so it is great estates that are re-
Esponslble for failure of food crops as
well as of the crop of men,"
The high cost of living is part of
the price that must be paid for a land
system that enables some to hold
more land than they can or will make
use OFFS 1t is not worth it. The big
estates should he broken up not by
buying out the land monopolists, but
by forcing them to let others make
use of what they are withholding A
tax on land values, sufficiently heavy
to absorb the rental values, will do
the work. Once the big monopolists
let go. real working farmers can take
hold and solve the food problem even
If hired help is scarce.
