OUR RIGHT TO ORGANIZE

"Organize" has been the watchword
of the American Federation of Labor
for wears. Educate" has been like
wise clogan of labor for years.
There are no better words today--no
better guides to the development of
that industrial democracy which has
come to be the dream of mankind and
the hope of the race.
We claim the right to organize as
workers. We claim the right to have
say in making the conditions under
which the workers shall be employed,
and the right of collective bargaining.
We claim that the hours of employ
ment should be reduced to the point
! where the health and safety of the
workers must be safeguarded.
If those who seek to destroy the
| trade unions are successful in their
efforts they will not have succeeded
in solving the labor problem or in any
way help to improve the industrial
and economic conditions of the coun.
try.
Such a movement, if successful
would create a condition of radicalisn
and anarchy which would be uncon
trollable. All of the things which
are offered today as remedies have
proven failures and instead of set
Ting the workers problems they have
done nothing except to create bitter
ness and antagonism between the
workers and the employers. That is
not solving industrial unrest.
Organization establishes and main
tains high standards of living for the
American working man and his fam
lily. 1t eliminates the things that
stand in the way of social and eco
nomic justice for all. All labor wants
and insists upon having is the same
right that is given to every one else
under the law. 1t will steadfastly
refuse to accept anything less.
If those who are seeking to destroy
the trade unions are successful in
their efforts they will not have sue
ceeded in solving the labor problem
or in any way help to improve the
industrial and economic conditions of
the country, but will widen the breach
between the employer and the en-
ploye.
If social and economic justice to
the workers is given due consideration
the danger of the spread of Bolshev-
ism will be entirely removed This
doctrine thrives upon industrial un-
rest and by removing the cause of
the disease will soon disappear.
We cannot solve problems by evad-
ing them and there is no use in any

RENEW LEASE SYSTEM

Montgomery, Ala.-The house has
extended the convict lease system in
this state until 1927. Opponents of
extension say the people have been
continually promised that the evil
would be ended, but the state favors
corporations by permitting them to
make money off the leased convicts.

GERMAN AVIATOR
 SCARS I2 MILES
 N GLIDER PLANE
MotorIeSs Craft Keeps Air For Over An Hour With
 out Difficulty

BERLIN, Oct. S.-Soaring bird-llke above the Rhoen Hills in his tiny motorless glider, the German Aviator Botsch of Darmstadt, kept the air for more than an hour Wednesday, and set up a new glider record by covering g kilometers, or almost IF miles.
 While cabinet crises and threats of revolt stir Berlin, the glider enthusi- asts of the Rhoen quietly and 'steadi- ly advance the struggle to achieve human flight without mechanical aid.
 Aviation of the glider type has been forced upon Germany. The peace treaty limited her planes and the horsepower that might be ap- piled. Then German aviators de- clared they would fly without motors.
 Wednesdays flight of 19 Kilometres shows the results achieved. Botsch kept the air without difficulty, ris- ing and falling on the wind, circling the flying field, and sweeping off on cross country runs while en- thuslastic fellow aviators followed In motor cars below.
 His accomplishment is hailed here as new proof that the glider Is defi- nitely established as E method of practical flight.
 Motorless flying. now all the rage in Europe. gained it's greatest im- petus in the post war period, but original experiments go back to 1891 when Otto Lilienthal a German, made a flight of 75 feet at Berlin.
 The last big record made in Ger many was when the young techni- elan student, Martens, flew 12 kilo- tions in Rhoen, thereby beating the French record made by Maneyrol, who had flown 10 kilometres at Deauville earlier in the year,

 Kels told the authorities that he conceived the plan himself and never expected to realize on the insurance money, but to assure his wife of get ting it and enabling her to discharge business obligations he had contract ed. His wife, an expectant mother, is in serious condition at her home in Lodi and has not been told Kels Is alive and under arrest.

Virtual Dictatorship
 Now Seems Imminent
By FERDINAND JAIN

BERLIN Oct (Thursday) After eight weeks of troubled rule, the Stresemann cabinet has resigned.
 Stresemann is now forming a "di- rectorium" cabnet-or dictatorship.
 Driving through a midnight rain storm, Gustave Stresemann motored to the home of President Ebert to present the cabinet resignations which had followed AS hours of crisis.
 The cabinet fell ostensibly over the socialist rejection of plans to abolish the eight-hour day, and over cabinet personalities.
 It's real significance is that it paves the way for reactionary regime.
 Ebert accepted the resignations, commissioning Stresemann to form new government, which will be a small cabinet, or "directorium"
 Most of the cabinet posts will re- main unoccupied.
 It means a virtual dictatorship in Germany.
 Early Thursday morning Strese- mann consulted with leaders, gather ing about him the group of men who Will lead the new regime.
 It is indicated, not definitely an nounced. that Stresemann will dis solve the Reichstag.
 Such action would mean that Presi- dent Ebert would grant him wide powers of authority under stress of the present emergency.

NATIONAL BANKS RESTRICTED FROM BRANCH BUSINESS
ub-StationS In Cities Of Lo- cation Allowed, But Full
 Time Banking Forbidden
WASHINGTON, oct.

WASHINGTON, Oct. s.-Natlonal banks may establish branches within the cities of their location for the receipt of deposits and the cash ing of checks, but such branches may not engage in general banking business, Attorney General Daugh- erty holds in an opinion just sub mitted to Comptroller of the Cur rency Dawes.
 Explaining the opinion today to the joint congressional banking committee. MT. Dawes said he was of the opinion that branches for per formance of even these limited functions could not be established in localities where the state laws or practices prohibit state banks from rendering similar services.
 Discussing the branch banking business t length, the comptroller declared that the develt pment of such banking, unless curbed. will mean the destruction of the national banks and of the federal reserve sys- tenn and the substitution of highly centralized privately controlled re- serve system. He urged that the fed eral reserve board be giveh power to serve system of institutions engaged in general branch banking and to curb further extension of this prin- ciple by member banks.
 Charles s. Hamlin, a member of the federal reserve board. ttld the commission that the board was pre- pared to recommend to Congress as means of inducing state banks in rural communities to join the fed- eral reserve system that such banks in fixing a basis for the computation of their reserves be permitted to de- duct from their deposits checks in process If collection from reserve banks This would serve to reduce the reserve requirement, he said, adding that many banks refrained from joining the system because they thought the amount of reserves demanded by law was too high.

Three Dug From Demolished Car,
 Another Found In Stream

CASPER, Wyo., Oct. s.--Bodies of five victims of the Burlington wreck in Cole creek last Thursday night were recovered today.
 Three of them-men, were dug out of the demolished smoking car and their identity established by railroad officials. They are:

 Fred Fargo Of Casper
 The fourth body, that of a woman as yet unidentified, was found on the bank of the Platt river, 20 miles be- low the scene of the wreck.

 The body of Charles Browne. list ed as missing from Denver. was re- covered from the wreck early to- night, bringing the total number re- covered to 10.

 Dr. Stresemann is believed in some quarters to be possessed of the nee essary qualifications for the position of civilian dictator, in view of his pronounced economic training. He has initiative and the faculty of quick decision, so long IS he is un hampered by political advisers or does not have to answer to party nor parliament.
