OLD AGE PENSIONS

Continued from page one)
nevertheless it was the consensus of
opinion that the work could not be
conducted on enthusiasm alone. The
gathering felt that the work accom-
plished by the federation on the small
dues of six cents per member per
year from affiliated unions was re-
markable, but that there is even a
limit to what can be done with six
cents. Therefore the determination to
send, in the very near future, letter
to all unios in the federation asking
them to declare whether they favor
old age pensions and will furnish the
funds for campaign for them.
Just as soon as these funds are
guaranteed, other meetings will be
held and other groups interested in
old age pensions asked to meet with
the federation officers, agree on a
bill, assume their share of the work
and cooperate to the fullest extent
in securing the desired legislation
When the financial proposition is
sent the unions their action thereon
will prove whether labor really is in
earnest and wants old age pensions.
They can be obtained if funds are pro-
vided to conduct the campaign there

The time for resoluting is past;

MONOXIDE GAS is

"a "a -

Washington-Th federal bureau of
mines warns the public against the
deadly carbon monoxide gas, which
is the most widely distribL ted and
most frequent cause of industrial ac-
cidents and deaths in dwellings,.
This gas is product of incom-
plete combustion, Because it is with
out color, odor or taste its presence
is frequently unsuspected. 1t may be
found in buildings having a leaky fur

DEFY "CAN'T-STRIKE" LAW
CONTINUED from page one)


Officers of the union had refused
to order the strikers back to work
on the ground that they (the off
cers) did not call the strike, but that
it was voted by referendum that
also placed the power to call a strike
in the hands of the national officers
The court held that this was no ex-
cuse, and that it was the duty of the
officers to recognize the authority of
the commission and the mandate of
the court.
mo matter whether you went out
on telegraphic orders or on your own
yolition, your action constituted a
strike and an open violation of the
Colorado laws governing such mat
ters," said the court.
The jailing has not brought the ex-
pected results and the strike is still
on. The incident has aroused Colo
rado workers, and the State Fedora
tion of Labor has issued an appeal to
aid the strikers and to contest the
decision. The appeal includes a
scorching denunciation of the law that
would deny workers the right to
strike

where gas stove has improper fiue
connection, such as is often found IN
tenements, tailor shops and boarding
houses.
This gas is formed in stoker rooms,
in refneries, cement and brick plants,
mines and tunnels. The exhaust from
gasoline motors usually contains
5 to 7per cent carbon monoxide and
sometimes 13 per cent. Deaths from
running an automobile engine in a
closed garage is not infrequent.

tions would be under the jurisdiction
of federal courts. This would permit
injunction judges of the Anderson
type to sit in judgment on unions
policies and ideals.
These are the reasons, rather than
the professed purpose, why crafty
feudalists and their defenders want
trade unions Incorporated
They would have the unions con-
trolled by judges whose property bias
blinds them to an expanding, devel-
oping life, who, are choked by their
legalisms and who are without social
vision.
Let no organized worker be lulled
by the claim that trade union incor-
porators only desire unions to be held
responsible
Tyranny and wrong never makes di-
rect attack. It's cards are never on the
table face up. It's method is stealth,
misrepresentation and flank attack.
1t says one thing and means another.
Organized labor does not shirk re-
sponsibility. And even if it did, it

common law.
Our opponents know this full well.
What they are now aiming at is the
heart of trade unionism. They would
have their judicial tools pass on its
activities, it's purposes and aspira-
tions.
They would kill the soul of the la
Dor movement with their judicial dag
ger and wrap it in the dead parchment
of court procedure, custom and judge

Says RadlealIsm VIII Fall In End
To the Editor of the Epentno Public Ledoer:

l
Sir-The radicals at Washington
obviously have various and far-reaching
settns she Usnerabe thsis IS EctOrn College %
and substituting direct elections OF
President and Vice President; though
as a matter of fact we have direct cleo
tions to all intcnts and purposes now
The Electoral College has come to be
little more than a gentlemen's agreement
and no one would think of violating
what amounts to n sacred pledge on the
rart of every member to abide by the
decision of the people at the polls.
Another scheme Of the radicals Is to
provide for the nomination of candi-
dates for President and Vice President
by primaries instead of conventions.
The primary system, It may MS we'll be
admitted, is not as popular rs 1t used
to be. New York has done away with
1t and other States are gravely dis
pleased with its workings. The benefits
II was TO usher in have been disappoint-
ing. while it's disadvantages have been
made exceedingly plain.
One argument against presidential
primaries is that they might give new
and dangerous influence to the promot-
ers of 'chain newspapers" newspapers
published in many cities under unified
control. To me it does not seem likely
that. confident as the Washington radi-
Gals appear TO be, they will be able to
convince the American people at any
early day that the national nominat-
