ONE MORE DAY \
TO PUT SLOGAN
INTO HOPPER
Town Criers Contest Closes 'S
Saturday Night, It Is
Announced
CALLS FOR MORE ENTRIES
Last Slogan May BE Best, Com
mittee Emphasizes In
Asking Entries

One mOrea day in which to get 'un-
der the wire in the Bismarck Slogan
contest!
The Town Criers' publicity commit
tee announced today that the contest
positively will close Saturday, De-
cember "a. All slogans mailed on the
Gath will be considered by judges in
awarding the $50 in prizes, offered.
During this week slogans have come
in to the secretary of the Town Cri-
ers club at lively rate. 1t is hoped
that the number, probably 300, will be
raised to 600 by Saturday night.
Because many slogans mailed Sat
urday may not reach the secretary for
two or three days, since many. come
from small towns in the western part
Of North Dakota, the slogans will not
be assembled for the judges until the
first part Of the week ,' ,..,. .
Judges who will select the three
best slogans are C. l.. Young, presi-
dent Of the Commercial club; Burt
Finney, president Of the Rotary club,
and r. w. Lumry, president of the
Town Criers club. The Town Criers
club members will vote upon these
at their next regular meeting, prob
ably the first week in January.
There is still good chance to win
the capital prize, it was emphasized
today by the committee. The last slo-
gan may Prove to be the best. While
the Town Criers reserve the right tC
reject any or all slogans it is hoped
that the contest will not only bring
out the right slogan for Bismarck fbu,
a symbol which can be neatly worked
INTO a design to be used in advertising
Bismarck.

We find these boys who ans

GOING BACK

The American Federation of La
Dor. headed by Samuel Gompers,
declares that reaction is doing its
best 20 conceal and evade" the
paramount issues before the Amer
ican people which are:
The league OF nations; protec-
tion OF the people against profiteers;
relation Of the government to the
aspirations Of workers; use OF the
injunction as a means of compell-
ing workers TO obey the will OF
employers; the high cost of living
establishment OF arbitrary tribunals
and boards to eoerce workers. re-
press their normal and legitimate
activities and clog the processes Of
industry by artificial methods; the
right OF workers 10 organize for
mutual advancement and develop
ment and 10 withdraw their ser
vice when terms and conditions OF
service are oppressive.
"On these issues must America
decide The American people never
willingly go back"
The league OF nations question
will be finally settled as our people
direct When il comes 20 proflteer-
ing the American Federation OF
Labor is guilty through artificially
forced wages. strikes and decreased
production. Relation Of govern
ment 10 aspirations OF workers ae-
cording 10 Mr.. GOmper's construc-
tion would mean that the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor would dom
mate the government. The use Of
the injunction is not 20 compel
radical workmen to work 20 pre-
vent them from destroying life any
property and keeping others from
working. The high cost OF living
can be laid largely at the door OF
the American Federation OF Labor
which has stood for a policy of
decreased production at greatly in
creased wages Boards to coerce
workers and repress their normal
activities is a misleading phrase:
the reference is to such organiza-
tions as the Kansas Industrial Cours
which is for the purpose OF settling
labor disputes without strikes. Such
courts do away with the job Of the
labor agitator and prevent BY legal
process. conspiracies to hold up the
public such as we witnessed in the
coal, railroad and similar strikes.
or quit work when conditions are
oppressive has never been denied
but the American Federation OF
Labor claims the right to enforce
its arbitrary demands by calling a
strike at any time, regardless OF
public welfare. to force compliance
from any industry which opposes
its ultimatums.
Mr.. Gompers is mistaken in his
last statement that The American
People never willingly go back"
They are going back now 10 the
principles OF government as laid
down in our constitution where
ever man is guaranteed equal rights
and where no arbitrary labor dicts-
tors can say who can and who
cannot work II Is the laboring
men themselves who are tired of
radical d.ctation which costs them
dearly in lost time.
