put agriculture on a parity with In

measures proposed, price fixing was
hopeless. cooperative marketing would
reduce some costs but wouldn't bring
better prices, and buying the surplus
and giving it to needy countries would
help If it could be done practically.

Alleged Free" Men
 Accept LabOr's Gains

Indianapolis, Nov. 17.-In the cur rent issue of the Journeyman Barber, James C. Shannessy, general presi- dent of the Journeymen Barbers' In- ternational Union, scores those work CTS who stay outside their trade union, while accepting union wages and working conditions.
 "The man who insists that he will not join a labor union because he wants to work where, when, as long and for what he will( is four flush er," said the barbers' executive
 Where can a man be found who can do it? A man who is compelled to earn his living by work must ac- cept work when and where and on such terms as he can secure it. His boasted independence is mere bunk Organized with his fellow workmen, he would have an opportunity to have a say. regarding his own labor; but alone, he is a peon and as helpless as ship on the ocean without a rudder
 Scores of men outside the labor movement continue to kid themselves with this idea of personal independ- ence which they believe they would lose if they joined the union. The un- scrupulous employer urges the idea upon them and the poor boobs con- tinue to fall for 1t"

tagonized the trade union movement. In addition, the self-acclaimed 'ama1- gamationists' are not bent on amalga- nation, but upon the disruption and destruction of the organized labor movement of America. In this they serve well the employers who would again assume complete mastery over the destinies of the wage earners.
 The purpose and aim of these de- structionists, as well as their standing within our communities, IS no less savory than that of private detectives who would sell the soul of their fel- low man for the jingle of gold. In the religious world such men are ex- communicated. In the political world such men are ostracized from society, i fnot treated more severely through the operation of laws relating to trea- son. In the industrial world we have tolerated them altogether too freely.
 These sinister agents, propagan- dists and destructionists of foreign foe to our American institutions should be singled out wherever found anl the light of day be thrown upon their nefarious work"

TRADE UNION MOVEMENT DAILY GROWS
 STRONGER PRESIDENT GOMPERS FINDS

By International Labor News Service.
 Washington, D. C., Nov. 17.-"In every city which I have visited I have found the trade union movement alive and alert, working diligently for the ad- ancement of the rights and interests o1 the workers and growing stronger every day"
 Thus President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor today summed up his lengthy tour following the Portland convention of the American Federation of Labor, upon his return to headquarters at Washington
 President Gompers visited San Fran cisco, Los Angeles, Fl Paso, Kansas City and St. Louis after leaving Portland From St. Louis he went straight to New York, where he attended the farewell meeting addressed by David Lloyd Geo. having been member of the committee under whose auspices the meeting was held. Prior to the meeting President Gonpers had an interesting conference with Lloyd George.
 In each city visited conference were held with men and women representative of the labor movement. In every case President Gompers impressed upon those with whom he conferred the pressing importance of child labor amendment to the United States constitution and in every case active support was pledged. Tt is of the first importance that we protect the child life of our country" said Mir. Gompers.
 "In Fl Paso," said Mir. Gompers, important conferences continuing through three days were held between delegation representing the Mexican Federation of Labor, myself represent +1,o T and the executive committee of the Pan American Federation of Labor There was a perfect accord between Mexican and American labor in every respect and the degree of increased materially.
 The conferences were satisfactory in every way. Among other things, the Mexcan delegation assured us that the Mexican Federation of Labor would hold its next annual convention in Juarez, Mexico, at the time when the American Federation of Labor meets in Fl Paso. It was suggested that the Mexican con- vention be guests of the A. F. of L. dur ing the sessions one day and that the American Federation of Labor cross the river and be guests of the Mexican con- vention on another day. The suggestion found immediate favor.
 Following adjournment of these two great conventions the Pan-American Fe- iteration of Labor will convene in Mex ico City.
 The international accord and the spirit of our own movement in every city visited were inspiring Our move ment everywhere is moving forward to greater achievement Organization work IS being pushed forward with great en- ergy and on every hand the organized workers are preparing for active and national Huhamne Conference at the opening here of three-day session on effective non-partisan participation in the coming political campaign. I am deeply gratifled by what I have seen and I have every confidence in constructive future.

WEST VIRGINIA GOUGED
 FOR NON-RESIDENTS' GAIN

Charleston, w. Va, Nov 17-It is revealed that the prison labor ring is costing this state $I5o,ooo a year This is made possible by turning the convicts over to contractors for a wage of 70 cents a day. Among the friends of one company, which em- ploys large number of these con victs, is included prominent leaders of the dominant political party of this state, it is stated.
 This condition, together with the $5oo,ooo of the taxpayers money that is annually spent to maintain the cos sack system for the benefit of alien coal owners, has driven the tax rate to terrific heights. Organized labor is continually pointing out these wrongs to the voters of West Vir- ginia, who are urged to join with the workers in restoring the state to it's residents.

 HAVE NO MORAL CODE
 IN FIGHTING UNIONS

Washington, Nov I7.-The claim that the American Federation of La bor opposes effective. federation of workers, or any and all forms of in dustrial organization, is one of the leading deceptions that communists and other revolutionists present to wage warkers of this country.
 As these revolutionists recognize no moral code that will postpone the es- tablishment of their communistic so- ciety, they glibly state absolute un- truths when fighting an opponent Their mental nothing must stop the volution"-justffies them in brazenly ignoring facts as they as sure wage workers that the A. F. of L. insists on small groups of craft united in powerful combinations. This is part of the revolutionists' grand "strategy"-of attempting to weaken the A. F. of L. wherever pos sible.
 At the Portland convention of the A. F. of L. this policy was again exposed, and it was declared that "an examination of the, roster of the affiliated organizations of the A. F. of L. disproves that false imputation and stigmatizes those who would ad- vance such untruths either as being ignorant or deliberate frauds"
 The convention unanimously adopt ed committees report which includ- ed recommendation that the execu- tive councils report on this subject be carefully read. Attention was also called to the implication in several "amalgamation" resolutions "that affi- Hated crafts unions can not cooper ate, federate or amalgamate because of some fancied power of resistance alleged to be exercised by the A. F. of L. Again, an examination of the records of the A. F. of L. brands such an implication as false and untrue.
 "It is not, however, so much the false implications and imputations in volved in these so-called 'amalgama- tion' resolutions that they should move us to renewed vigor and drastic action as it is the motives of the prime movers who are continually urging these proposals upon the councils of labor" said the committee.
 "Demonstrative proof is overwhelm- ing that those who are constantly at work dividing the organized workers on abstract discussions of forms of organizations and spreading the poi son of suspicion against the officers of trade unions, have never been loyal trade unionists and have always an-

CENSORSHIP GROWING MENACE
 TO AMERICAN FREEDOM

the assembly after it had been taken for granted that it would not be advanced further. No one attended the first hear ing. Once aroused to its inquitous pos abilities, especially as applied to news papers and all other forms of publica- ton, though ostensibility directed at something else the proposed bill met with a prompt and deserving death There is no assurance, however, that this movement of inquitious birth has been buried.
 The presentation of this book censor ship proposal grew out of the views of various reform and uplift associations as to some of the recent fiction products and the belief that censorship laws over motion pictures justified censorship over book publishing. Censorship is hard to limit. It gets away from even those who advocate it and the difficulties of limit ing it to any one form of publication has always made the paths of censorship advocates extremely dangerous to the light and glory of freedom of speech and of the press.
 The thing to do is to uwoot the idea of censorship in any and all forms, from our American soil

Manufacturers Use
 Fake Union Label?

Washington, Nov o.-The federal trade commission has issued a com plaint against the King Overall com pany, the Atlantic Overall company and A. Greenbarg Sons, of Philadel- phia, Pa, manufacturers of overalls and trousers, charging them with falsely marking their goods union made"
 The commissions complaint alleges that the concerns overalls and trous- CTS "are not manufactured by work men or artisans who are members or affiliated with associations or organ izations generally known, recognized and referred to as unions, but, on the contrary, are what is known as non union made"
 The commission asserts that this practice has the tendency to mislead and deceive the purchasing public in- to the erroneous belief that respon- dents products are union made"

Plenty of
 Hard Coal Says
 Woman Official

New York, Nov. I7.-There is more anthracite coal than the people know of, and this commodity is being sold at too high a price, reports Mrs. Louise Reed Welzmiller, deputy com missioner of public markets, who has toured the Pennsylvania anthracite fields to trace the coal from mine to consumer. She drew these conclus- ions:
 That new coal deposits will be found available and will be brought into use to replace the mines that are now being worked out.
 That there is considerably more anthracite than the public knows about This is also the opinion of the miners, whose experience should make them the best judges.
 That anthracite is being sold to the public at entirely too high price.
 That freight rates on anthracite need readjustment and should be on the same basis as bituminous.
 That the miners are not receiving too much for the kind of service they render the consuming public"
 The report further states that "culm banks, considered waste in years gone by, are still being loaded at an apprOX1mate cost or IS 10 Z5 cents ton, mixed with freshly mined coa land sold to the consumer at cur rent prices"
 Miners were quoted as declaring that the only solution of the present coal shortage IS to have the camps operated for six months under direc- ton of representatives of the govern ment, owners and miners.
 Summing up the situation, Mrs. Welzmiller believes that the public IS in the grip of coal trust, which, despite al 1efforts, appears unbreak- able

CIGAR MAKERS PLAY THE GAME
 IN RIGHT WAY
Spend Thousands Annually Keeping Union Label Before
 Smoking Public.

Cigar Makers Union, No. so, of New Haven, spends thousands of dollars annually advertising the Blue Union Label and in this way the public is constantly reminded that cigars packed in boxes bearing this label are made by skilled workmen in sanitary factories and under American working conditions, and also, for these reasons, urged to demand union made cigars in preference to those made by underpaid workers employed by anti-union employers.
 Many forms of advertising are used by this union among which is the Cigar Makers Union Calendar. This calendar is of large size and in tended for use of stores and offices only. The 1924 copies will soon be distributed. Formerly a small cal endar for family use was used, but because of increased cost of printing these have been discontinued This year Local No. 3o will distribute about 5000 large calendars, an expense of $I75 per. thousand, which is an in- crease of 65 per cent above pre-war prices.
 Various other forms of advertising are employed by Local No. 3o, in cluding newspapers and billbords
 Members of Local No. 3o assess themselves 50 cents per month for label advertising and the money thus raised with that allowed by the In- ternational Union probably represents the largest amount spent by any craft union in this vicinity for union label advertising.
 However, results have convinced cigar makers that it pays to advertise their Blue Label and they intend to continue, through this medium, to urge their friends and the public gem orally, to demand cigars that are packed in boxes bearing the Blue Label of the Cigar Makers Union.
