Congressman Upshaw
Speaks In Maine
Visits New York and Can Not
Find Any Place Where Intox-
icants are Served

ATLANTA, Ga.,-Dispatches re-
Ccived here state that Hon. VIM. D.
upshaw, congressman from the Fifth
(Atlanta) Georgia district, has made
a tremendous hit on speechmaking
tour in Maine and Massachusetts
Newspapers both in Portland, Maine,
and Boston, Mass, apparently opened
their columns with an extra ordinary
amount OF space to the Georgia Cy-
clCne", in addition to carrying photo
graphs of him in characteristic poses.
Immense crowds heard him in both
cities and at a number of other points
where he spoke.
The Georgia congressman is quoted
as saying that while in New York
City on business trip he failed to find
single place where intoxicants are
served
at leads me to believe that condi-
tons so far as prohibition is concerned
arc much improved" he said. In fact
CONGRESSMAN Upshaw believes, so he
stated, that not only New York, but
the Nation, shows a greater spirit for
the enforcement of the 18th amend
1ncnt than ever before.
No devotee of the rail and the froth
on the top Of glass of beer will ever
lac able IN roll into Tho LMI;4. Ho,,1x
on keg of beer or a barrel of wine"
he remarked when pressed for his
views on national politics so far as
the prohibition question was involved.
The Democratic party in the next
Presidential election" continued Con-
gresham Upshaw, will have as its
main platform plank this sentiment:
The integrity of the constitution
and the majesty of daily constituted
laws is the main issue of the campaign.
The candidate OF the Democratic
party will not be man who is a reac-
tionary on this great moral principle
II will not be a man who NEEDLES with
the bottle"
For one thing, at the next session of
the House, Congressman Upshaw who
will begin his third term when the
new congress meets, will introduce a
bill declaring persons non grata any
congressman in whose room or office
liquor is found or who is seen under
the influence of drink either on the
floor of congress or on the elevator.

May Pass Laws

1t is well known that legislation at
tempting to break the back" of or
ganized labor will find its way into the
deliberations of Congress and State
Legislative bodies next winter. Nee
essarily most OF this legislation must
seek results by indirect methods, and
in "piecemeal" doses. The reason is
obvious During the world war full
recognition was given by the govern
ment to organized labor and the War
Labor Board appointed by President
Wilson, and headed by former Presi-
dent Taft, consulted organized labor
and organized capital. and rendered
hundreds of decisions base upon its
effect upon groups and masses OF in
terests and citizens. The operation of
the railroads under the transportation
act is based upon their operation by
the brotherhoods. The public admin
istrative machinery in the federal gov
eminent, and in a great many states,
officially recognizes and accepts the
organized labor groups as entrenched
in our public affairs. In industrial dis
putes the official heads of the federal
and state governments almost invari-
ably seek to negotiate with organized
rather than unorganized labor. The
strength OF organized labor with pub
lie regulatory bodies is so universally
recognized that such interests as the
coal mine owners are now making
their last stand to attempt to destroy
them. They are the people who are
attempting to secure legislation for
the open shop. In view of the fact
that organized labor has carried its
claims as high up as the United States
Supreme Court where there has been
approval, it is evident that no political
party will commit itself at this late
day in opposition to union labor. 1t is
even doubtful whether the big indus
trial interests that are seeking TO
build up smoke screen to hide them
selves by claiming that bankers and
hnanciers demand an open shop, will
get very far along with their belated
attempts to destroy the power of or
ganized labor.

OPEN SHOP IS
DRIVE OBJECT
ON PRESIDENT
Harding Declines to Be
Drawn into Contro-
versy but Effort Seems
to Persist.

Westinghouse has been apparen,
tor some months that a quiet cam
paign has been in progress for the pur-
pose OF influencing President Harding
to commit himself to the open shop.
The enemies of organized labor have
been whispering into the ears of Mr.
Harding. and they have emphasized
the fact that former President Wilson
was almost in extreme in his friendli-
ness to organized labor, and that as a
matter of fact former vice president
of the American Federation of Labor
was a member of his cabinet. Never
theless, labor voted against the Wilson
administration in the last presidential
election. The open shop" champions
are industrious in arguing with Mr.
Harding that the championship of
their views would be good Republican
politics. Up to date it may be stated
positively that the president has de-
clined to be drawn into the eontro-
versy between organized labor and its
enemies. He is no novice in politics.
and he knows very we'll that his party
is so divided on the question of sup
porting organized labor that it would
be the height of folly to attempt to
make issues involved a part of the
party creed.
