Part Which Union Labor Will
Play in Congressional Race
One of Main Questions
OPPOSITION SOLIDIFIES
WORKERS, SAYS GoMPERs
Veteran President Is Assured
of Reelection; No Strong
Opposition in Field

(By United Press)

Cincinnati, June 1O-The part un-
ion labor will play in the Congress
sIonal campaigns this fall will be
one of the main questions before the
American Federation of Labor which
opens it's annual convention here
Monday.
Already hundreds of delegates for
the meeting are gathering here from
all parts of the country.
Other major problems that will
come before the conference according
to president Samuel Gompers are:
Means for completely eliminating
child labor, because of the supreme
court decision that the tax on child
labor products is invalid.
News measures to combat the anti
union activities of big employers.
Plans for a continued campaign
against the use of court injunctions
in labor troubles,
Means of strengthening organized
labor. admittedly weaked by the long
period of industrial depression.
The annual election Of officers will
be held This year the veteran Sam
uel Gompers, who has weathered
many n stormy convention only to
come out the victor as president Of
every meet save one for the last 40
years, seems assured Of reelection
to his forty-first term. As yet no
candidate Of any real strength has
appeared.
Considerable attention will be Civ
en- the political situation, as labor
leaders consider the present congress
as unusually reactionary". Indi-
cations are that the convention will
instruct the delegates in the interests
of those candidates who are known
to be friendly toward labor.
Open Shop Campaign
While federation officials contend
that the "opcn shop" campaign has
failed, and in fact has really oper-
atcd to solidify organized labor, new

Already Money RatessAre ON
Decline in Wholesale; Big
u Changes Registered
WILL EFFECT AVERAGE
PARTIES CONSIDERABLY
General Business Is Running
Is Per Cent Below Normal,
and I. Holding Well

Wellesley Hills. Mass, June 10
Roger W. Babson issued the following
statement today regarding the money
situation: =
"For the past few years banks,
mortgage companies. and others en-
gagged in the loaning of money have
been educating people to pay higher
rates Of interest, Manufacturers
business men, home builders and 9TH
ers are today paying high rates of
interest which a few years ago they
believed never would be paid. Nat
urally this has handicapped employ
ment, especially building operations.
These people now wonder whether
this is to be "a permanent condition
or whether these high rates are only
temporary. Statistics led me to
believe that the high money rate
y period of the past few years has
passed for many years to come.
Already money rates have declined
greatly in the wholesale market.
Where-.a year ago-the banks
were loaning money. on call to the
brokerage houses at from six to
eight per cent they are now loaning
money at about four per cent, Even
three to six months paper can be
sold at from an per cent to Az per
cent discount. These are tremen-
dous changes within short period of
time. In fact the change is so great
Ga decline Of about; so per cent?
that it would not be surprising if
money rates now strengthened for a
short while preparatory to another
downward movement.
''Money is a commodity the same
as cotton, wool, lumber or copper
It has a Wholesale market and a re-
tail market. A wholesale price and
a retail price, Moreover, as with
commodities, the retail price in the
money market lags, about six months
to a year, behind the wholesale price
of the money market. This means
that the rates in the wholesale mon
ey market go up and down from six
months to year before the average
business man and home builder lis
affected. It takes nearly year for
cotton to get in from the plantation
to the shelves of the. department
store. Hence, it may be several
months before the retail cotton goods
trade gets the advantage of de.
cline in the price of raw cotton. T
is the same way with money as with
cotton. It is SOME months after the
decline in the wholesale Etice OF
money before the business man and
the home builder get the advantage
in the decline Of rates. The bankers
are not to blame for this. It is &c.
nomic law. As it takes some time
for the bankers to raise the retail
interest rate for money after the
wholesale rate advances, so it takes
a considerable time for the retail
rate to decline after the wholesale
rate Declines"

the average man, during the next

in the last of the primary contests
Senator Joseph 5. F'relinghuysen. OF
New Jersey.
Even Frelinghuysens friends fear
for his success. His opponent is
George L. Record. d Jersey City

FrelinShuysen is the one candidate
whom President Harding has in -
dorsed publicly.
Were the incumbent to lose
in the primaries. his case would
be similar To that of Senator Harry

Attacks Senator'S Record.
The issue of the New Jersey fight
is largely Frelinghuysens record
during and since the war. with spe
cial emphasis on his vote to seat
Senator Nawberry. Record has de-
voted himself principally to attack
ing Frelinghuysen's career in the
Senate.
Former Representative La Guar

behalf of Record in New Jersey. and
Amos Pinchot. brother of Clifford

can gubernatorial candidate in
Pennsylvania, has also spoken for
Record. SenItCr la Toilette has
urged Frelinghuysen's defeat.
Democrats Back Edwards.
With this progressive backing.
the contest has added interest. in
view of the progressive victories in
Pennsylvania. Indiana. Iowa. Wis
consin and North Dakota. In sorhe
quarters it has been predicted that
some Democrats may vote for Rec
ord. This forecast is based on the
belief that Governor Edward |. Ed

candidate. would have better
chance If he did not have Freling-
