PROGRESSIVE SENATORS
"DISCIPLINED" TO GUARD
LEADING CHAIRMANSHIPS

Washington. Dec 6-The Republican senatorial
caucus has debared Senators LaFolette Brookhart of
Iowa. and Laid and Frazier Of North Dakota because OF
their INDEPENDENCE in the recent election The caucus also
declared that these senators be not named to I'LL any he
publican vacancies in senate committees
According to seniority Senators Brookhart Laid
and Frazier are at the bottom of relatively unimportan
senate committees but Senator LaFoee IS next to the
top of the finance committee and the interstate
committee These two committees the most important
in the senate because they handle tariff and railroad
legislation
By claiming that he is irregular" the administration
forces block aFoletes march to the Craftsmanship or
these committees. Among the opponents of the Wlscon
sin senator are those who joined with Roosevelt IN 1872
against William Howard Taft, the regular Republican
presidential candidate Other instances cited by pro-
gressve Republican senator's who oppose the caucus
ton. The majority, however, aside these protests
and grimly wait until the storm subsidies.
The opposition to LaFollette was shown last year
when the majority accepted Senator Smith, Democrat
chairman of the interstate commerce committee, rath
er than the Wisconsin senator
The ousting of LaFolette also that he will be
debarred from conference committees that adjust diff
erences between the senate and the house. 1t is custom
airy to select as conerees the ranking members of the
committee that reported the bill in dispute
These conferences most important. Often they
report practically bill they secretly draft was
the case with the present transportation law.
The conference is where okers often inserted in
legislation and where remedial proposals weakened
These conferences held behind closed doors and
record is made of the proceedings.

veto by two-thirds majority. The
state judiciary is not deprived of in
dependence merely because it is usual
ly elected for terms of eight or ten
years instead of being appointed for
life. Prosecuted races and national
minorities in this country are asked if
they feel that they have greater
security and protection from nine re-
dictionary corporation lawyers ap-
pointed for life and removed from all
popular influences or from legislation
which, as soon as the question of con-
Stitutionality is raised would have to
be passed. by two-thirds of the men
the American people have elected 20
Congress and the United States SEN
ate, and signed by the president.
If greater trust is placed in the
nine corporation lawyers, that can
mean nothing more or less than dis
trust in the peoples own govern
ment, and belief in the rule of ir-
responsible individuals and ruled by
irresponsible dictators.
American people want no Lenins
and Mussolinis, and they want no die
tatorship by nine irremovable corpora
ton lawyers.

this government of ours shall be of

tai principle shall prevail or the courts

ORGANIZED LABOR

Organized Labor is over five
million strong in the United
States of America. Five million
men and women united for con
certed action. But not for direct
action or radical action.
Do you know that many, many
people, when they hear the words,
Organized labor think imme-
diately of direct action" bombs"
and revolution"
Do you think this is fair to you,
as a member Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, that you should
be thought Of in this connection?
Many people do not know that
the American Federation of Labor
was organized not to call strikes,
not for direct action, not to preach
socialism and bolshevism, but 10
combat these seIf-same things. Or
ganized labor has one sole purpose
and that is to protest against
grasping and greedy employers and
to combat evils that one worker
alone and unaided could not and
to create better working conditions
and a living wage.
1t is necessary for the preser-
vation of the great influence that
organized labor shall not abuse this
power.
1t Is necessary that American
labor shall not permit radical agi
tators and soap box orators to in
huence them in the slightest and
that they shall be guided by
brany, conservative leaders, who
have made life study of the
economic situation.
1t is necessary that you, as a
member of organized labor, shall
do your duty and adhere to the
safe, sane and conservative trade
union policy that has made the
American Feredation of Labor
possible.
And ,hat policy is now TO work
harder than ever before that he
wheels of industry may be speeded
up and prosperity come again.

Child Labor in Louisiana

A gradual decrease in the number
of children employed in Louisiana
industries during the four years pre-
ceding December 30, 1928, is reported
by the State Commissioner of Labor
and Industrial Statistics. This de-
crease the commissioner attributes
mainly to the educational effect of the
Federal child-labor laws. The report
criticizes present child-labor laws in
Louisiana as being behind those of
other States in certain respects.

WORKERS WAGE
RATES UNDER
THEIR CONTROL

Trenton, N. j., Nov. 29.-The work
ers may dispose of their labor power
as they see fit, individually or in
combination, declared the New Jer-
sey court of errors and appeals in
setting aside an injunction against
Newark painters enforcing certain
sections of their general constitution.
These laws provide that where an
outside contractor secures job in
another city he must pay the highest
wage rate of the two cities. The New
Jersey painting company, a subsidiary
OF the Barker painting company of
New York, secured an injunction
against the enforcement of this rule.
The injunction prohibited any member
of the painters union from advising
other painters not to work for the
complainant company.
In annulling the injunction, the high
court said the rule complained of does
not discriminate against any one. at
applies to all alike, automatically, who
come within the rescribed rule.
Economically" the court continued,
the conclusion reached by the lower
court confuses the possible or prob
able effect of the defendants action
upon the employers with the defend
ants rights.
THE law gives the defendant a
right to sell their labor to whom they
please, when and under such condi-
tions as they may fix, individually OF
in combination. They may make
rules and regulations passed in gooC
faith, providing for what they deem Il
be an economic advantage to them
selves. If in the enforcement of sucf
rules and regulations, they violate n,
law, but act solely for the declared
purpose, the courts ought not and can
not legally enjoin them from sucl
concerted action simply because sucl
action may effect some employers.
How can it be said that such rule.
and regulations create an unfair re
straint of trade? If the law give.
the workers such rights it must pro
tect them in their enjoyment. The,
can not be enjoined from their use 81

Child Workers in Tenement Homes

Child Labor was found to be pre-
valent in nearly quarter OF the l5,-
900 houses licensed to engage in home
work in New York State, according to
the 1924 report of the New York
State Commission to Examine Laws
Relating to Child Welfare.
The commission made an extensive
study during 1924 of tenement manu-
featuring. Its report states, Chill
dren of tender years-many of them
under 10 years of age-are commonly
permitted or required to engage in
this work" The commission recon-
mended to the legislature as a result
of its study that the list of trades in
which homework is prohibited should
be extended and that eventually home
work should be prohibited.

reduction were better birth registra-

better care during childbirth, educa-
ton of the mothers themselves, regu-
