given of their best in the cause of
human freedom There can be no
such struggle without succ $,
whether that success is or is not inn
mediately visible.
But great and significant as may be
these two great political efforts, poll
ticf campaigns are, after all, but
secondary considerations in the trade
union movement. The greatest single
fact that will be recorded at FL Paso
and at Juare. is that the two move
ments have come through the year
in solidarity, with strength increased,
with material conditions improved,
with spirits high, idealism at its lofti-
est and terminated at its staunch-
est. The great story is the story of
the growth and progress or trade UNI
ionism as such.
It will be privilege to attend these
conventions. It viii be an inspiration.

Spirit of American Labor
EDITORIAL BY SAMUEL GoMPERs.

On November II a unique and his
toric event will occur. Conventions
of two great labor movements win be
called into session on the information
al border between Mexico and the
United States. Included in the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor we have the
labor movement of Canada, SO the
conventions at Ell Paso, Texas and
Juarez, Mexico, will bring together
the organized wage earners of three
great countries. Never has there
been such a gathering Of represen-
tatives of the workers as this will
be. It is of surprising significance.
The American Federation of Labor
will open its convention in FL Paso.
The Mexican Federation of Labor
will convene just across the river in
Juarez. There will be international
ceremonials attended upon the OPEN
ing of these two conventions-cere-
monials such as would be possible
only where the Latin love Of color
finds expression. Americans will OBJ
serve these ceremonials with pleasure
because, while we give less expression
to the love of color and display, we
enjoy it none the less.
During the period in which the two
conventions are in session there will
be joint meetings for fraternal inter-
course, in order that in great COM
mon assemblages there may be OPP
portunity for expressions of common
idealism and a common purpose.
1t is doubtful if there is anywhere
else in the same high degree of unity
and sympathy that exist between the
American Federation of Labor and the
Mexican Federation Of Labor. The
two movements have more than once
demonstrated their common UNDER
standing. They have labored to-
gether for the uplift Of all working
people and their labors have been re-
warded with achievements which will
live as long as history is preserved
and read.
The conventions Of these two move
ments this year will deal with mighty
currents in human affairs. The Mexi-
can workers have elected president
in whom they have full faith and con-
fidence-a man whom they count as
one Of them. They will go from their
convention to his Inauguration. They
feel fresh breath Of freedom in that
great accomplishment.
The American workers will 60 to
their great convention fresh from a
great political campaign into which
they have poured their energy as
never before. AS these lines are
written that campaign is in its white
heat Of turmoil and struggle. Bot
whatever the outcome the workers
win go to their convention in FL Paso
with the consciousness that. they have

LABOR ACT OUTLAWED
BY UNUSUAL METHOD

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-The
setting aside Of the District Of Col
umbia rent regulation act By the Dis
trict court of appeals, recalls Justice
Robb's connection with the District Of
Columbia women's minimum wage
case, which was first upheld and then
reversed when Justice Robb sat on
the case.
Justice Robb wrote the decision in
validating the rent regulation act,
which congress passed in the belief
that q housing emergency exists in
the nations capital. Justice Robb
holds to the contrary, to the delight
of landlords.
The District minimum wage law for
women was upheld in June, 1921, and
in the same month the court denied
a motion that the case be reopened.
In that case Justice Robb was unable
to sit because of illness. Persuant
to section 225 of the code, the other
justices of the court designated JUS
tice Stafford to take his place.
When Justice Robb recovered and
resumed his duties, an application
was made to him by opponents of the
minimum wage law that he grant a
motion that the case be reopened.
Chief Justice Smyth dissented, but
Justice Van 0rsdel, who had previ-
ously opposed the law, voted with
Robb. The chief justice insisted that
substitute Justice Stafford should
pass on the motion, and quoted de-
cisions without number to uphold his
position. In the following language,
the chief justice practically charged
opponents with knowing Robb was
against the minimum wage law before
he heard the case, and that he was
associated with the scheme to reopen
the case and then invalidate the law:
at would seem that the appellants,
finding themselves defeated, sought a
justice who had not sat in the case,
but who they believed, would be IA
vorable to them, and induced him by
an appeal directed to him personally,
to assume jurisdiction and to join
with the dissenting justice in an at
tempt to overrule the decisions of the
court. / shall not characterize such
practice-Iet the facts speak for
themselves"
BY Robb forcing himself into the
case, in defiance of law, the court Of
appeals reversed its former decision
unfolding the minimum wage law.
and on November 6, 1922, the court
held the act unconstitutional.
While the United States supreme
court, the following year, also held
the minimum wage law was illegal,
Justice Robb's connection with the
case presents an interesting study Of
court possibilities.

Relief, and I am sure that the great
organized labor movement Of America
will continue to do, as it has done in
the past, give its unqualified support
to the needy and stricken in every
land, thus continuing the practice of
that Golden Rule, which has been and
is now the mission of the organized
workers of America: l"Whatsoever
you would that others should do unto
you, do ye even so unto Them"
The occasion for the banquet was
the inauguration in the United States
of the campaign to promote Golden
Rule Sunday, which will be observed
on December 7th, when the people
in nearly every important country
in the world will be asked to eat an
orphans dinner, and then to make a
real sacrifice, expressed in contri-
button in behalf of the destitute
children in the Near East, whose chief
claim upon humanity is that they have
no real claim on anybody--except
those who have a heart and will to
help. Such contributions given by
members of Organized Labor may be
sent directly to their International
officers, or to the Golden Rule Sunday
Committee in their own citiees.

THE American Federation of Labor,
in convention assembled, recognized
and approved the work Of the Near
East Relief, and the continuation of
its program, especially in the feed
ing and housing of orphans, and their
training for self-support, and recon-
mended to all the national and inter-
national unions, state, bodies, city
central bodies, and local unions the
need of collecting funds, and urge each
local union to appropriate at least $50
a year, sufficient to take care of one
orphan, and sending it through the
Near East Relief to assist in saving
the lives of these homeless and help
less children.
What greater service can a man
or a woman give to humanity than
to assist in saving the lives and train
ing those little orphans of America,
Syria and Persia, who were deprived
by the world war of the support, care
and love of those near and dear to
them.
an conclusion l want to testify,
that until the last orphan has been
placed in a position of self-support,
l shall give my earnest assistance to
the work carried on by the Near East

LABOR LEADERS SPEAK
FOR NEAR EAST RELIEF

One of the most remarkable "ban-
quets" ever given in this country was
that recently held in one of New
York's newest hotels, at which over
a thousand prominent citizens and
relief workers were served with a
four cent meal consisting of the sim
pie foods eaten daily by the children
in the great orphanage of the Near
East Relief-which are the largest in
the world, and where thousands of
little children are annually being
saved from sickness and starvation.
Organized Labor was represented
at the speakers table by w. G. Lee,
President of the Brotherhood of Rail-
road Trainmen, and Frank Morrison,
Secretary of the American Federation
of Labor. Hugh Frayne, organizer
for the A. F. of L. in New York, was
also present.
Mr.. Morrison spoke to the guests,
in part, as follows:
"The Near East Relief has accom-
plished a marvellous result. Through
the philanthrophy of the United States
and Canada, over Snillion lives have
been saved. These lives were saved
through the expenditures of $50, 0OO,-
900 in money and supplies collected
through the activity of the Near Fest
Relief.
"There are now over $4,000 orphans
that must have full support, and 3D.
900 partially dependent who must re-
ceive relief. Last year $4,000 orphans
were restored to normal life in homes,
or to self-support from orphanages,
and 10000 outside of the orphanages
have been assimilated.
1.-TWO thirds of those in the orphan
ages are under twelve years of age.
So, if if we practice the Golden Rule,
we must do what we can to continue
the support of these orphans until
they are selfsupporting or reach at
least sixteen years of age.
''The vocational training that the
Near East Relief is giving to the
orphans is worthy of consideration
They are teaching these young or
phans how to do the worlds work,
teaching them agricultural work, so
they can be self-suppOrting

WORKERS POINT OUT

By international Labor News Service.
BERLIN, Nov. 13.-Works coun-
ellis, economic councils, chambers Of

institutions which have been offered
as a substitute for trade unionism
are worthless for the workers unless
they are buttressed by organized
labor, declares the second Congress Of

ers, recently. held in Strasbure.
The concluding paragraph Of the
resolution on this subject reads:
"These institutions will be able to
carry out the duties allotted to them
only sixty remain in close contact
with the trade union organization,
whose power must in no case be UNI
dermined by their formation. The
trade unions are more necessary than
ever to workers Representatives as a
source Of that knowledge and above
required by them to carry their work
to a successful conclusion, and as a
means of protection against reprisals.
It is clearly shown by the report sub
mitted to the congress that works
councils which have not maintained
close contact with the trade union or
carnations have been rapidly reduced
to a state Of impotancy, and that
when, on the contrary, a policy Of
mutual cooperation and goodwill has
been followed by those organizations,
results Of the greatest benefit to the
workers and the national economy
have been achieved"
