Will Continue Fight
For 44-HOur Week

Atlanta, Ga.-A feature of the ma
nual convention of the International
Typographical union was the unani-
NOUS decision that the 44-hour week
strike be continued as long as one
member is on the strike rolls. 1t was
shown that today there are fewer
members on strike than on many oc-
casions of business depression.
The strike is the result of broken
agreement with employing CONNER
cial printers, who promised to install
the 44-hour week in May, 1921.
The employers did not live up to
their agreement, and they enlisted the
support of every anti-union organiza
tion in an attempt to destroy the
union. The printers then resorted to
their economic power to enforce the
shorter work week, and they have ex-
pended over 100000 to carry on
this fight. The strike has established
the 44-hour week and it has had a
wholesome effect on certain other en-
ployers in the printing trades.
Despite the costs to establish the
44-hour week, it was. reported that
there is $4,O28, ,731.62 in all funds of
the international organization.

Germany is Now a
SmouIdering Volcano
By Louis p. Lochner
I'd. Press Staff Correspondent

Berlin-Germany is sitting on a
smouldering volcano. Any moment
it may erupt. The government has
lost the confidence of the people.
Meanwhile the communists are MAX
ing headway rapidly. Elections just
held among the metal workers and
the textile workers, two of the largest
unions in Germany, have resulted in
an amazing swing to the left. The
Communist party is clamoring for the
establishment of workers govern
ment. Within the Socialist party, the
former Independents are grumbling,
at their left wing convention grave
dissatisfaction was voiced with the
course taken by the party offcialdom.
Scenes Undesirable may be witness
sed every day in the stores, at the
markets, on the Streets. A month ago
it took 100000 paper marks to pur-
chase an American dollar; today it
takes over three millions. There is
mad scramble to purchase what little
the cash in hand may yet buy. De-
spair is written on the brows of the
housewives, despair on the faces of
heads of families as they return from
their hard days labor.
The confusion is increased by the
hectic course of the Reichsbank, which

LIMITATION OF OUTPUT

A general curtailment of from SO
to rs per cent in production in the
plain goods mills has been agreed upon
by the Fall River, Mass, manufac-
turers. The reason is overproduction.
We are to suppose the agreement has
nothing to do with an attempt to
maintain the high prices that have
caused underconsumption.
Some trade unions have been ac-
cused of limiting labor output in order
to lessen unemployment among their
members. This is rare, and it is de-
nounced by employers as an unethical
conspiracy. But when manufacturers
conspire to limit their output, in order
to compel the public to pay the prices
they fix or go without the commod-
ties, they hold it to be perfectly ethic-
al and simply good business practice.

WE LEAD THE WORLD

American trade unionism leads the
world today in every phase of the
realm of organized labor activity.
There is not trade union movement
in Europe as free from internal dis
cord, as free from bitterness and dis
appointment, as united and confident
of the future as the trade union move
ment of the United States.
Labor in the United States is better
paid than anywhere else in the world.
1t lives in better homes. 1t wears
better clothes. 1t has more leisure.
It enjoys better food. 1t has wider
margin of choice in determining how
and where it shall live. Finally, it
has a better trade union movement
with which to achieve more progress
and improvement.

LABOR DAY, 1928

Monday next, the 3rd instant, trades
unionists everywhere within the juris-
diction, of the American Federation of
Labor will observe as Labor Day
With the exception of Christmas,
which is a religious as well as ma
tional holiday, no one of our national
holidays is so generally observed by
union wage-workers.
Labor Day is holiday in which
every red-blooded, loyal American
South, North, East or West-can
Join in celebrating. 1t is the day, too,
as in the case of Independence Day,
that most truly represents the demo-
cratic nature of our land.
Labor Day affords the opportunity
of reviewing the facts of the labor
movement, the facts not of today only
but of all time, marshaled in the
order of their proportion and chron-
ology.
Someone has said: that to amount
to anything in the world or to be
happy, one must perform some use
full work, do something for someone
else, and see something beautiful" "
This sentiment is epitomized in La
Dor Day, and it is what gives the day
its nationwide appeal.
To Organized Labor the day has
the greatest significance. 1t is the
outward and visible sign of many po-
tent reforms accomplished. 1t makes
public acknowledgment of the fact
that wage-workers have full political
rights and privileges, and that to earn
ones bread by the "sweat of the
brow" is not only thoroughly re-
spectacle, but even honorable. These
things did not merely "happen" in
the course of human events they
were ACTIVELY FOUGHT FOR
AND WON BY ORGANIZED UNION
LABOR!
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1923-08-31

today initiates an action for support
ing the tottering mark, tomorrow
opens the doors wide to speculation
by withdrawing all restrictions; today
issues orders limiting the purchase
and sale of foreign exchanges to Of
fetal rates designated by the govern
ment, tomorrow permits anybody and
everybody to dabble in money market
affairs.
Nobody has any basis for calcula-
ton; nobody knows whether what ne
is buying with his money is worth the
money or not; it is all guesswork.
Only the bankers and the indus
trialists know what they are doing
and they are making hay while the
sun shines. But one has the feeling
that terrible reckoning is coming.

Judiciary Advised
To Correct Itself

New York - The Wall Street
Journal. barometer of financial
thought, suggests to the American
bar association that if judges and
lawyers "would afford all classes of
citizens that prompt redress of
wrongs which the constitution in
tends" patriotism would be fostered
to a greater extent than shrieking
about revolutionists in America.
These views would indicate that
there is to be an end to the over
worked bogey that on some dark night
select gangs of desperate foreigners
will wreck our government, destroy
the constitution and obliterate the
Declaration of Independence.
This bogey has been a meal ticket
for professional patriots, detectives
of the Burns stripe and for others
who childishly believe that revolu-
tons are ordered on a certain date
by a group of men rather than be-
cause of deepseated wrongs that
desperate people find they can not re-
move through legal methods.
The latest to talk about revolution
in America is a committee of the
American bar ASSOCIATION, and a chal-
lenge to this alarm comes from most
unexpected source-the Wall Street
Journal
"There is something at once stale
and hysterical," says this financial
paper, "about such fears for the
safety of political institutions in a
country which has survived a century
and half of unrestricted immigra-
ton, four years of bloody civil strife,
four foreign wars, and the social and
economic metamorphosis from pas
toral to industrial civilization. We
have duplicated, on larger scale, the
experience of England, in finding
free speech the best safety-valve
against political explosions.
"It is impossible to sympathize
with such a state of terror over in
roads on our constitution when we
reflect that clamor for a change from
the present form of government to
anything else imaginable is strictly
constitutional. We have deliberately,
and wisely, made it so. Advocacy of
change by violence alone is banned.
Does this committee of the bar asso-
citation believe that any serious head
way is being made by advocates of
political change by force?
Gar better than any citizenship
training service under the inauspi
cious supervision of a sometimes para
site legal profession, as an antidote
to the moral corrosion of radicalism,
would be more rapid progress in the
reform of judicial procedure. This is
field to which the bar association
might properly and effectively confine
its eXertions.
"Our coming citizens need more and
better fundamental education to save
them from the delusions Of 81 vari-
cites of communism. But that is not
to be had merely by adding to the
agencies one which, with all respect,
could be only another source of or
ganized special pleading.
"The example of a legal profession
and a judiciary jealous and effective
to afford all classes of citizens that
prompt redress of wrongs which the
constitution intends will do immeas-
urably more to foster a genuine pa
triotism than all the precept the bar
association can put forth"

COMMUNICATIONS

The Leader would appreciate
hearing at all times from any
worker regarding any subject per-
tanning to labor, and will gladly
reproduce the communication in it's
columns. Whenever such COM
munications are received the name
and address should be legibly
written, but will be withheld upon
request.

There is no calamity which a great
nation can invite equal to that which
follows a supine submission to
wrone.-Grover Gle. land.
A BUSY WORLD YET

There are yet lot of people in the
world who are not sitting down,
holding their heads in their hands
and bemoaning what they read in
the newspapers. The business stu
alton at home and abroad as sum-
married. by the Department of Com
merce is good proof that lot of folks
are working, producing and selling
commodities.
At home the early reports on
October business show sustained ac-
tivity in the production of basic COM
modties, and in the matter Of con-
struction contracts let in % north
eastern states there was an increase
of &c percent over that of a year ago.
The trade of the mail order houses
and the ten-cent chain stores is well
season.
Turning to foreign conditions it is
reported that while French buyers
are marking time pending adjust
ment of international difficulties the
foreign trade of France continues &C
tive, and for nine months the exports
have not been much below the i'm
ports. Conditions in Austria are re-
ported to be favorable, defiation of
currency going on. satisfactorily and
exchange steady and sales of cotton
yarn the largest since the war. To-
tai trade which the United States had
with the Far East increased % per
cent in October as compared with
September, and the nine months
trade with the Orient was three
times as large as the full years trade
in 1913. Tourists spent two billion
lire in Italy and emisrants sent home
another two billions.
In the course of an address de-
livered Thursday, Mr.. Otto II. Kahn,
who has recently returned from a
trip through the greater part of Eu-
rope outside Russia, said: "On the
whole my impression is that, how
ever distressing and alarming in
some respects, is the present state
of affairs, the forces that make for
accord and settlement are slowly
gaining ascspdency." He was much
impressed with the gain being shown
in Italy, where losses on account of
the war were enormous and condi-
lions Immediately following it ex-
ceedingly discouraging. He terms
Mussolini "a patriotic realist."
