THE RECORD SPEAKS.

The New York Times warns
the Republicans that in John
W. Davis they nave an opponent
against whom, before the fight
is over, they will have to call up
all their resources. 1t has new
er been a Republican weakness
20 belittle the strength of politi.
cal opponents. Republican bat
ties have been won because of
the forceful and convincing way
in which facts of government
have been marshalled and pre-
sented to the people. That
course will be followed this year
and there will be no relaxation
of effort until the ballots are cast
on November 4th.
But while they know that a
strenuous campaign is ahead OF
them, Republicans feel confident
that they have an advantage
over their opponents that is
bound to win. No party ever
before went before the people
with such an impressive record
of achievement. The mere re-
cital of what has been done in
the three years since Republi-
cans took control of the govern.
ment is sufficient to assure the
support of intelligent citizens.
The record cannot be disputed
because it is fortified by figures
and official documents. Demo.
Gratis viii make little progress
by telling the people that they
would be better off with a char &c
of government. Those who keeI
abreast of the times know how
the public welfare is improving
and will see to it that the pro.
cess is not interrupted.

JOHN W. DAVIS,
The CANDIDATE.

Admitting that John W. Davis
is a fine, clean, outstanding indi-
vidual and that West Virginia is
honored in having a native son a
Presidential nominee, all OF
which has been recited and will
be recited repeatedly, it is time
to put aside the Davis PERSONAL
ty, and to consider, dispassiOn-
ately, Davis, the candidate. 1t
is in the latter light that he must
be considered by the voters, for
it is not as personal friend, nor
as ma i've son that he faces the
people OF the United States,
seeking their favor. He simply
comes as a Democratic nominee
asking that the administration of
government be taken out of the
hands of calvin Coolidge and
transferred to his own.
Putting aside all sentiment,
let us hold John w. Davis, the
candidate, to the light and con-
slider him. 1t takes but a short
scrutiny to show that his chances
for election are of the slimmest.
In the first place he is a compro-
mise candidate. He was chosen
as the last alternative in a con-
vention split from top to bottom
and riven in every direction by
hide bound factions and oppos-
ing elements. His running mate,
Charles Bryan, is a compromise
candidate, chosen as a peace Of
fering to William Jennings Bry-
an, admittedly foremost in Dem
ocratic politics, and outspoken
in his opposition to John w.
Davis. Through this Vice Pres
idential sop, the Democrats also
hoped 30 conciliate the farming
interests of the great West, a
vain hope, for the farmers will
not find Davis or Bryan any in
ducement to turn from Calvin
Coolidge who has demonstrated
his friendliness to the farmer,
and his comprehension of the
farmers difficulties.
Needless to say there is moth
ing offered in the Davis candi.
dacy to induce Republicans to
leave their party to vote for him.
This alone insures his defeat,
for it is only when dissatisfied
Republicans desert their party
banner that a Democrat takes
over the reins of government.
Why should any Republican vote
for John W. Davis The de.
claration of the Democratic plat.
form is the only evidence upon
which may be established his
actions if seated in the White
House, while on the other hand,
the people know what President
Coolidge stands for, what his
convictions and aims are, they
know him as a fearless and un-
compromising fighter for the
public good, and they have stood
by him in cordial admiration
throughout his entire admins
tration. What is there in Davis
that would for one moment draw
RepubIican.yoter to his support
against imam like Mr.. Coolidge
What is there to appeal to the
voters generally in these forlorn
hope nominees put up by a con-
yention ragged with dissention 7?

WOMEN UNITETO
PUT over Child
LABOR MEASURE
Think Legislatures May
Favor Amendment

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-Eighteen
national organizations federated into
the Women's Committee for the Chill
drens Amendment have prepared a
textbook for the ratification campaign
which must be waged in the "A
states that have not yet acted upon
the measure. State and local branch.
es of these organizations are going to
work to send men and women to the
state legislatures, this year, who will
be pledged to ratification. So the
child labor amendment is brought into
the political struggle thruout the
country
''The women who are working for
the amendment have no illusions
about the struggle before them" says
their statement. 1.-THE opposition in
this case includes the same interests
that fought woman suffrage, fought
prohibition, fought the Sheppard
Towner maternity and infancy law.
Those interests have money and re-
sources. They include employers of
children who have a directly selfish
motive. They are busy trying to de-
feat ratification by spreading misin-
formation and Misrepresentation
about the amendment and what is
will do" The textbook is issued to
overcome this misinformation.
Moderate Figures.
The last census figures are quoted
to show that over 100000 children
from 10 to is years of age-one child
in every twelve-is gainfully employ
ed. OF these, 413,500 were child OPP
eratives in cotton, wooden, worsted
and silk mills, iron and steel mills,
clothing factories and sweatshops,
lumber mills and furniture factories,
shoe factories and coal mines; were
employed as servants, walters, mes
sengers, bundle wrappers, Office boys
, and girls, sales boys and girls, clerks,
newsboys and miscellaneous other
non-agricultural occupations. Agri-
cultural occupations claimed 647. 900.
Since this count was registered in
January, the total did not include va
cation work on the farms.
In only 10 states do the child labor
laws measure UP the very moderate
standards set by the former federal
laws for protection Of minor workers
In 35 states the children may go to
work before getting common school
education.

costs have shown little change in
the last six months but with further
drop in wages they should decrease.
Ray is hampered by difficulty in get
ting skilled underground miners. Eff
cient mining with caving system de-
ponds to great extent on mine crews

Will somebody tell Ray why it has
difficulty in getting skilled under
ground men when it reduces the
wages of machine men from $3.50 to
1891 and wages of muckers from $3.40
and $3.0S?

In the meantime, Dorman called on
two Of the four farmer-labor electors
already on the ballot and gave them
the impression that he was acting on
behalf of the farmer-labor executive
committee. He pointed out that in
dependent electors would be put in
the field for LaFollette and Wheeler
and that the farmer-labor electors
should withdraw and would be put up
for election on the independent ticket.
Two of the electors were deceived by
Dorman's smooth lies and were per-

John M. Nelson stated in an inter-

Montana would withdraw in favor of
the independents. He was probably
acting on the advice of Dorman, his
regional director. After, this, public
sentiment in Montana turned against
Dorman to such an extent that he was
withdrawn from Montana, and Jimmie

IN. Y. C. CLEANERS
STRIKE TO BRING
GLOOM TO BOSSES
Sunshine VIII Turn to
Darkness Soon
Especial to the Daily WOrker.)


NEW YORK, Sept 17-willian
Sunshine's gloomy prediction Of a
strike Of window-cleaners at the end
of the month was interpreted as re-
fusal of the Amalgamated Window
Cleaning Employers Association, OF
which Sunshine is president, to con-
slider the demands of the Window
Cleaners Protective Union, according
to Peter Darck, secretary of the union
The union is asking an increase of
SO per week, raising the wage scale
to SAL minimum, and full pay for the
May Day holiday. The union has had
no strikes for five years.
Hazardous Work.
Darck points out that the work is
extremely hazardous, particularly as
the law requires only factory and
mercantile establishments to provide
the hooks for safety belts. The union
workers are employed on all sorts OF
buildings and private dwellings and
often work II to ID stories up without
the protection of their safety belts be-
cause Office buiII' ngs and apartment
houses do not volun. lily supply the
necessary hooks in tnS window
frames. Eighty per cent of tn -nrk-
ers, Darck declares, wurA = the
safety belt for lack OF hooks.
Demands Modest.
Dmytro Prysiazniuk. business agent
of the union, asserts that the high
cost Of living justifies their modest
demand for wage increase.
The employers association has
been trying for years to break the
union, the union officers say. Since
the strike five years ago the association
has been conniving with the openshop
employers and assisting them in
every way. For instance" Darck
tells, I'VE carried on a 6-months cam
paign to organize Negro workers with
the union. We succeeded in getting
many Negroes into the union in spite
of the employers efforts to stir up
race feeling by calling us Polaks not
interested in other workers. But then
the union employers refused to accept
union colored workers. Peerless Win
dow Cleaning was one. In August the
union had grievance with this firm
and Hugh Frayne, general organizer
of the A. F. Of L. finally settled it.
Peerless did not take the decision
altho it had promised. 1t resigned
from the association of employers.
which should not have accepted the
resignation, and Immediately employ
ed non-union colored workers"
The window cleaners union is de-
termined to fight the open shop
drives with all its power If the en-
ployers' association refuses to grant
the demand by Sept. 30, when the
agreement expires, the organized
workers will strike and strike hard,
Darck asserts.
