POLITICAL ACTION

CIeveland,-The 37th grand divis-
ion meeting, Order Of Railway Con
duetors, has ratified resolution
authorizing the officers to cooperate
In any progressive political movement
mad TO support financially any candi-
date or movement which is pledged TO
labor's economic and civic ideals. The
convention overwhelmingly approved
the action Of President l.. u. Shep-
pard in participating IN the confer
ence for progressive political action
formed in Chicago Feb. %.
"0ur political action for the pres.
ent will be partisan" President
Sheppard stated. "'rhe primary ef-
fort will be to elect TO the next con-
gress men who will be friendly TO la
Dor. We are compelled TO take poll
teal action because the employers
have secured control Of the govern
ment and use political power To dom
mate economic situations"

Again the Federation accomplished
something others have tried and
failed. When Chairman Brown of
Labor Day committee announced he
would schedule n world championship
wrestling or boxing bout TO be held
in connection with Labor Day celebra-
ton, everybody said '.it would be a
great thing, but could not be DONE
On Saturday Chairman Brown made
the statement that Manager I'D White
for Johnny Meyers, worlds cham
pion middleweight wrestler, had ae-
cepted proposition Brown had made
for Meyers to meet Paul Prehn on
the evening of Labor Day. A set Of
articles contracting for the world
championship bout has been drawn up
and sent to Mr.. White for their sig
nature and when that Is received the
biggest event of the season in the
midwest will have been secured for
the Twin Cities. In Mr.. Whites let
ter to Mr.. Brown, he says:
please consider the mat contest
with Paul Prehn closed, as far as |
am concerned, for Johnny Meyers,

communication of the 10th inst.

Washington, d. C.-Thousands OF
children is wears Of age and younger
soon win be back at work in sweat
shops, mines and other places
throughout the country, as the result
of the supreme courts ruling that the
child labor tax act Is invalid. Big
employers, particularly those in the
southern cotton mills region, were
expected TO take immediate advantage
of the decision handed down Monday
That child labor is still desirable
and profitable Is indicated in the fact
that despite the 10 per cent. tax
which has been assessed since 1919 on
the products Of such labor, placed In
interstate commerce. hundreds Of fac
tories and mills have continued to
employ children.

labor PREPARES FOR BIG CONVENTION
penOt Of Council to Show Unbrokea Lines in Face
Of Unprecedented Difficulties.

Without question the council will
have much to say about the attitude
of courts and the almost unprecedent-
ed quantity Of injunctions showered
upon labor during the year. Labor
cannot well overlook the recent SUI
rleme court decision on picketing, a
decision that practically made picket
ing impossible and opened the way
for all judges of inferior courts 10
make picketing impossible.
In accordance with custom the re-
port will review the congressional
work of the year, finding this year a
plentitude of material upon which to
comment. Congress has been un-
friendly to labor and most receptive
TO measures of an unfriendly nature.
Among hostile proposals in congress
is the ship subsidy bill, vicious bill
to make profits easy for ship owners;
and the coolie labor bill introduced 10
let down the bars for coolie immigra-
ton into Hawaii. the first step to inn
migration to the mainland.
Strikes of the year will be reviewe1,
showing a record of which labor may
be proud and showing also, it may be
surmised, that those conflicts in which
labor has been forced to engage have
been the result of employer aggres-
sion.
A broad interest in public questions
always is shown i'm the reports of the
executive council and in the work of
the convention and this year will
prove no exception to the rule.
The convention will be held in Gin
cinnati.

LOCAL STREET CAR
COMPANY TIES UP
PAVING OF STREETS

Scores of idle men are being kept
out Of employment because Of the at
titude of the local street car company
towards renewing its obligations with
the city in the way of negotiating a
new franchise.
Street paving along Church and
Third streets, authorized two or three
years ago, has been delayed, the COM
pany refusing to pave the section of
the streets occupied by its tracks,
and it is now said the company Is TO
circulate a new petition that the or
dinance authorizing the payment of
these streets be annulled.
It's funny how-de-do when a
private corporation, occupying the
center of two of the principal streets
of the city, can dictate the city's
public improvement policy! We won
der just how long an enlightened pub
lie will stand for such domineering
methods. But people are to be de-
prived of employment, and the streets
left in a deplorable condition simply
because it pleases Drivate corpora
ton operating public utility.

NON-UNION
CARPENTERS
JOIN UNION

The sad news for the Associated
Employers this week is that nearly all
the non-union carpenters imported to
break the Carpenters union have left
the ranks of the "open" shoppers and
have Joined the union, where they can
work under decent conditions and at
a fair rate of pay. Thirty-one form
er non-u unionists have SO far taken
advantage of the protection afforded
by the union, and it is expected others
will make application the latter part
of this week.
The scarcity of non-union carpen-
ters has been the cause, it is said, OF
one "open" shop contractor abandon,
ing large building program he had
in mind, and he is now selling, the
lots upon which he intended to build
at auction.

Is gong the rounds of the reactionary
press is that through the late increas-
es in the prices OF corn. wheat and
other farm products $1,000. .000, ,000. 90

American farmers.

DO TWENTY-FIVE MILLION
DOLLAR BUSINESS

Twenty-Five thousand Colorado
farmers allied in 150 successful CO.

last year close to s25,000, 10000, ac-
cording to the reports Of the Farm
ers' Educational and Cooperative
Union, the Equity Union, the State
Grange, and other large cooperative
groups. Although the Rocky Noun
tain co-operators labor under many
difficulties, including an indifferent
state administration, their record

midwestern states which excel in co
operative achievement.

the ways and means committee had
hoped to finance state highway develop

The house oficiated as undertaken in
both cases. The bill imposing a one
cent tax on each gallon of gasoline sold
for motor vehicle purposes died first. its
proponents abandoning the fight without
a record vote. Half an hOur later the
bill increasing registration fees on mo-
tor trucks went the same way, and al
though house leaders rallied 50 Republi.
can votes for the measure. a combination
of &c Republicans and 40 Democrats
sent it down Ia defeat.
