In relation to labor's proposals the
planks written into the democratic
platform are nearly approximate the
desired declarations of human rights
than do the planks found in the repub
lican platform
Of the republican platform labor's
analysis said with the exception of
those provisions long since almost
universally accepted in political plat
forms as just and undeniable, the re-
publican platform is defiant of it's de-
fense of the enemies of labor and cal
culated to secure for them fresh ad-
vantages and greater privileges. The
republican convention turned it's back
upon labor"
Concerning the candidates them
selves labor's committee said: "There
can be but one conclusion based upon
a careful and impartial survey Of the
actions and declarations of the can
didates Governor Cox has shown
himself possessed of fuller under
standing of the needs of the working
people, reader response to their
needs and to their proposals and a
broader craftsmanship in his public
discussions of the problems of the in
dustrial world Not only in the spe-
ciic utterances relating directly to
questions held paramount by labor is
the comparison favorable to Governor
Cox. His progressive and construct
i've viewpoint hold throughout his de-
clarations on public questions. Z"
The analysis further declares that
it would be sad and unforgivable
Iemissness Of dQty in this crucial hour
were the facts not presented with the
utmost freedom and completeness. .
No authority rests with anyone in
the labor movement to say to any one
how his vote should be cast. The Of
fcers Of the labor movement are
chareed only with the duty of present
inc the facts It is wholly within the
scope of the duty Of the officers of
the labor movement. however, to say,
as he's been said that the facts con
stituto a showing Of superiority ou
the nart Of the democratic platform
and on the part Of the democratic can-
didate for The presidency.

'NORMALCY VERSUS PROGRESS
Continued from page one)

Senator Harding observes the repub-
!;can platform and finds it a document
after his ovn heart. He lifts up his
hands to tlose assembled on his good
front lawn and with benign counte-
nance says, 'et r> return to the old
order
The denial of any desire on the part
of the American people to go back
ward to anything that is past has
been found in practically every public
expression which the people have
heen able to make in recent months.
Joe Bailey in Texas attempted to
induce the voters of tnat state to re-
turn to normal and the voters decided
to send Mr.. Bailey a great deal fur
hr back than that. In the Alabama
pril aries Senator Underwood, nomi-
mated six years ago by majority of
$4,000, found his majority reduced to
Z 900 by an electorate that to that
extent showed its determination not
to return to normal In Colorado
Scr ator Thomas declined even to
m2ke the effort to induce the voters
to return to normal by withdrawing
from the race for reelection. In
Oklahoma the nomination of Scott
tc'ris for United States senator over
Senator Gore was a clear indication
e tie desire of the people Of that
state to 20 forward and not backward
In Pennsylvania Congressman Dewalt
Wi 'hdrew as a candidate for renomi-
{ tion because Of the expressed de
termination of the workers of his dis
trct to so forward Congressman
Willis J. Hulings, of Pennsylvania,
cprried his campaign for "normalcy"

whore he was emphatically repudiated
CONGRESSMAN Henry J. Steale, in
another district in the same state fol
lowed the course adopted by Congress
man Dewalt and withdrew rather than
maxi what he knew would be a fu-
tile effort in behalf Of reaction. In
Tennessee Congressman Sam r. Sells
was opposed by the forward-looking
forces Of labor and again the express
sion Of the people was against going
backward and in favor Of going for
ward.

whole reactionary position is a def
ance of the people of the country,
flaunted in their faces against their
viii and prescribed for them in oppo-
sition to their expressed desire.
When Governor Cox proclaimed to
the country, 4 am for progress" he
struck a chord chat found response
in every section of the country and
among our people in all walks of life
with the exception of those who walk
in the ways Of great wealth and who
think in terms of exploitation, self
aggrandizement and profteering.
To the organized workers of the
country the democratic party plat
form offers free and full recognition
Of the right Of organization, the right
of collective bargaining and the right
to speak through representatives free

platform also takes it's stand against
'unwarranted issuance of writs Of in

the right Of trial by jury in alleged
contempt cases committed outside the

Cox is a candidate reaffirms the prin-
eiple enunciated in the Clayton law

SHODDY WOOL
OPPOSED
Cloth Being Sold Under 'All
W0oP' Term Not Real

Chicago. In urging the passage Of
q law that would compel manufaetur
ers to label the amount of virgin wool
in their goods, the national sheep and
wool bureau Of America says this pro
posal is being resisted by textile man
and the ragpieking and
waste salva2ing industries
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1920-10-08

To remedy this condition, and es-
tablish market for wool, the bu-
reau is urging the French-Capper
'truth-in-fabric" bill, now pending in
congress, and is calling upon frineds
of this legislation to protest to the
chamber of commerce of the United
States for its treatment of the French
Capper bill ano rs publicity Of the
Rogers bill, alleged to correct the
shoddy wool evil, but which would
legalize the practice, according to the
bureau.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1920-10-08

The bureau says cloth is being sold
under cover of the term "all wool, >
which the public understands to mean
virgin new wool
No chemical reveals the presence
in cloth of wool substitutes made of
re-worked woolen rags, it is stated.
Only the lack of wearing qualities
tells the tale. Last year there were
used in this country three pounds of
virgin wool per capita. The need was
II pounds per capita. The difference
consisted Of unidentified wool substi-
tutes.
