far as the Republican National Con-

the state delegation shall be chosen,
but each state has been permitteo
to determine the question for ltse1.
It has usually been considered
high honor to be chosen as dele
gate at large to the Republican Con-
vention and, as a usual thing, sucn
delegates have been selected from
among those leaders who have rem
dered the most conspicuous service
to the party. Sometimes there have
been many applicants for the four
places Maine was allowed. 1ncreas-
ing the number to six will relieve
the Republican State Convention OF
some embarrassment in making
selections of delegates at large ana
will enable it to honor two more
prominent Republicans than 1t has
been able to do heretofore.

Loss Will Mean Lunacy?

(IuDllC LSuSClJ
Terrifying noises will help win the
next war, according to Prof. Low,
of England. War is the most print
tive means of settling disputes. and
paradoxically the more we advance
in scientific warfare the more
primitive we become in method. The
Red Comanche howled to scare his
enemy as he went into battle. The
modern military psychologist believes
the repetition Of certain appalling
noises will break down an enemys
morale by running his nerves. Sur
geons testify that in the late war
shell shocked men would start up at
sudden noise and grovel with fear
at the sound of an airplane or a
thunderclap. Perhaps we are head
ing for a time when we will count
our casualties in nervous break
downs and the loser will be ma
ton of lunatics. Which would not
be so much crazier than the present
arrangement

OPPOSITION OF WORKERS
 TO SOVIET RECOGNITION
 UNQUALIFIED, SAYS GOMPERS
By International Labor News Service

By International Labor News Service
 Washington. D. C., Dec. 28.-Con- demning in the most vigorous terms the Soviet approach for negotiations with the government of the United States and declaring American la bor's hostility to the move, President Samuel Gompers has again stated labors position as being one of un- qualified opposition to any relations with what he terms the Soviet terror ism. He made clear his belief that any compromise with the Soviets is a victory for them and he likened their efforts to involve democratic governments in negotiations as simi- lar to the customary policies of out laws and brigands.
 Tn view or the unwarranted diver sity of opinion in our own country concerning President Coolidge's ref erences to Soviet Russia" said Mr. Gompers, "and in view of the decla- rations of friendship for the Soviet autocracy expressed by certain Sen ators and representatives otherwise American labor make unmistakably traordinary and audacious proposal of the Tchicherin note that free America enter into negotiations with the Soviet terrorism.
 "In his message to Congress Pres ident Collidge used the following clear and un1nistakable language:
 Whenever the active spirit of ennity to our institutions is abated; whenever there appear works meet for repentance; our country ought to be the first to go to the economic and moral rescue of Russia
 This policy does not differ a hairs breadth from that of President Will son or President Harding-except that 1t .is even more strongly and clearly expressed

By JOHN J. MANNING, Secretary Treasurer, Union Label Trades Department, American
 Federation of Labor.

In spite of the many "isms" offered to the members of the American Federation of Labor as immediate "cure alls" for their grievances and the "open-shop" drive during the past two years, there has been a dis play of solidarity on the part of the workers which is astounding to those not closely in touch with conditions as they really exist.
 The average member of a Trade Union is nothing if not practical, and as a result of his training, the nos trums offered him by theorists and rainbow chasers" have had the acid test of experience applied, hence their rejection, and if it were possible, there resulted an increased loyalty and devotion to the movement which has done so much for the workers and society,"
 It is undoubtedly true that the campaign of the "open shoppers" weakened some of the unions by a loss in membership, but there is ap- parent throughout the country a re- vival in the cause of unionism which can be attributed to two main causes First-the revival in business. Sec ond-the knowledge these former members had acquired as to the benefits of trade unionism, hence their resumption of membership.
 This latter cause of the improved outlook for our movement IS some thing the employers could not take away from the workers even though

COMPERS ASKS AMERICAN
 LABOR TO HELP SAFEGUARD
 MEXICAN LABOR AND FREEDOM

1 crush the labor movement, to enforce compulsory labor by denying the right of workmen to leave their work, to give back the public land to great concessionaries to set Mexico back decade or more, into darkness
 Mexico, by the expression of her will to be free, has come to deserve better fate and, 1 am confident, she knows how to work out her destiny Under President Obregon she has had peace, her farmers have titled their soil and raised crops, the wage earners have been at work, earning wages, living peacefully, educating their children. Mexico never before saw such a time of peace, freedom and progress.
 "The government of President Ob- regon is government of law, having it's authority in the freely given sui frage of the people. It has won the confidence and recognition of our American government. The de Ia Huerta rebellion would destroy all that has been achieved. The action of the de la Huerta rebellion in shoot ing trade union presidents as their first act in practically every city of importance in which they have oper- .ated Is an unimpeachable indication of the character and purpose of that de spicable movement.
 "If American trade unionistS, abid- ing by the laws of their own country, can serve to support the cause that has the backing of the organized la bor movement of Mexico, that is founded upon the ideals and principles of freedom and democracy, they will so serve. It has been our proud priv ilege to have given much service to that cause in the past We support with all our strength the cause that is now menaced by the violence of unprincipled reaction in Mexico"

A 1924 UNION
 MAN HAS GREAT
 ISSUES TO MEET
By MATTHEW WOLL, American Federation
 of Labor.

The year just closed has been . year of progress The year to come will be a year of greater progress. The reason IS clear. The organiza- tions of labor are stronger than ever
 the period of unemployment which so seriously injured the workers and their organizations, is long since over. The fendish onslaught on labo, has died away leaving only what we may call the "normap' opposition of blindness.
 The road is clear for great work, for great organization efforts, for the laying and developing of great plans for constructive work.
 Two things must be always in mind. One, the necessity for organ izing the unorganized and for school ing ourselves in the fundamental principles of trade unionisn, even 'un- to such elemental things as how to run union, how to conduct negotia- tions, how make headway without be- ing forced to take losses. Second is the necessity for looking ahead, for understanding the time in which we live, with its growing machine power, it's growing complexity and the sure need for an ever-broadening partici- pat1On by laDOr m the affairs Ot our industrial life.
 Looking at the whole field, our task is one that demands our best thought, that demands our highest loyalty, that demands attention to duty. WI
 We have little things to do, and big things to do If we fail in the little things we shall fail entirely At the root of it all is the organization; without that there is nothing.
 Trade union organization Is the hope of the world today There are many who offer patent medicines there are quacks and fakers and there are also crooks. Apainst all of these we must beware The trade union is the one instrument that has proven it's merit and that has sur vived every test.
 Ire hest thing a wage earner can 10 today is to be good union man, <rowing why he is union man and ;r1fllinp the obligations of a sgood 1nion man.
 That is the best and most sensi- ! ,1e New Years thought I know of, | Or the workers and for America.
