Congressman George HuddlestOn of Alabama
Reviews Election Results The Way Out

change or may absent themselves will
be conspicuous. Labor thus has an
excellent chance to find out who are
its true friends.
"The progressive elements of the
country are cuItivating memory
among other qualities They are in
terested in finding out who are their
true friends and are taking pains to
remember the fact. They will take
full note of what may transpire dur
ing the coming session. There will
be future elections.
"To those who look merely on the
face of things it may seen that labor
has been thrown for a loss in the
recent election. However, those who
really understand are not discourag-
ed
"Organized labor and the progress
sives in general are the most politi-
cally alert of any elements of the
country-most politically understand
ing and well-informed. They are not
. ihisled by superficial appearances,
but are mindful of the deep and per-
manent currents in public affairs.
They realize that the recent election,
while a victory in many respects for
reactionaries, for ordered business,
profits, materialism, and in general,
'dollar-grabbing,' was not essentially
defeat for high-mindedness and
idealism.
The nation still lives patriotism
and unselfishness are yet virtues. 1t
is for the forces Of labor to reform,
to fill up the vacant ranks and go
forward.
"The recent election did not show
it, but the South is progressive. Bour-
bonism is not the true expression of
Southern sentiment.
I'VE are hampered for lack of lead
ers, organization, newspapers, and
other means Of expression, but the
time will come when Southen progress
sivism will break the hold Of politi-
cal cliques, machine politicians and
reactionaries, now largely in control,
and assert itself ir the political af-
fairs of the Nation.
"ln certain Southern states the
masses are handicapped by illiberal
election laws. In my own district,
for instance, a larger percentage of
native-born white American are dis
franchised than in any other district
in the United States. But this is and
must be merely a temporary phase.
In the nature of things it can not be
made permanent"

WOMEN MAKE GAINS AT
RECENT ELECTION

FOR the first time since women
gained national equal suffrage
four years ago, through an amend
ment to the Federal Constitution,
they made substantial inroads on
the mems political jobs at the rec
ent election.
In addition to capturing two
governorships in Texas and Wyo-
ming, the "gentler sex" will have
a Congresswoman from New Jer-
sey, one secretary of state in New
York, and 88 legislators in 20
states.
Twenty-Five states had women
on the state tickets and IL women
were candidates for seats in Con-
gress.
Conservative New England
states, with 29 women elected to
legislative positions, led all other
sections of the country. Of these
states, the women made the best
showing in Connecticut, with Is
victories. In the South Atlantic
states only two women captured
office.

Berlin-The pay slip of a metal
worker in the factory of Max Levy
German manufacturer of electrical

lows:
Weekly wages, marks 20 ($4.80.)

Taxes, so.
Net wages, II marks.
This particular worker is skilled, is
married and has 2 children. For AS
hours of labor he is given II marks
or 8 cents over 81. This is not ex-
ceptional for metal workers in Ber-
lin. On the other side of this pay

GETTING EVEN
LA TOILETTE READ OUT OF
HIS PARTY
To Be Ignored in Future and HOnOrs
Passed Out to Old-Time Regulars
Is to Be the Program

Washington - Senator Robert M.
La Toilette of Wisconsin, and three
of his principal supporters in the SEN
ate practically were read out of the
Republican party at a conference of
Republicans.
The conference adopted a resolu-
tion by Senator Reed of Pennsylvania
under which Mr.. La Toilette, Senators
Ladd and Frazier of North Dakota
and Brookhart of Iowa will no longer
be given Republican places on senate
committees or invited to attend fu-
ture party conferences.
Resolved that it be sense of the
conference that Senators La Toilette,
Ladd, Brookhart and Frazier be not
invited to future conferences and be
not named to fill any Republican va
cancies on senate committees.
The resolution will not disturb pres
ent committee assignments, Republi-
can leaders said, but will serve as an
expression of the view of the confer
ence to be considered by the commit
tee on committees when the question
of filling vacancies comes up. There
were no speeches in opposition, but
Senator Harreid, Oklahoma, suggest
ed certain notifications which were
disapproved
Senator Spencer of Missouri moved
the appointment of a committee to
suggest ways and means of accom-
plishing the same purpose sought in
the resolution but the conference
adopted the Reed resolution as the
preferable alternative.

Congressman George Huddleston Of
Alabama, leading Progressive Demo
crat Of the South, discusses the re-
suits Of the recent election.
The time has come, in the opinion
of the fighting Southern Progressive,
for the Democratic party to become
Fundamentally progressive or to dis
appear as national force.
The attitude taken by the members
of the present and the new Congress
will be a test of their real progress
sivism, is his prediction.
Mr.. Huddleston said:
"The coming session of Congress
will in a certain aspect be highly in
teresting. 1t will afford an oppor-
tunity for definitely winnowing the
chaff from the wheat and separating
the true from the simulated.
GAS a Democrat, | draw the lesson
from the recent election that my
party is given the choice between be-
coming a really progressive party and
remaining in a minority.
"There is not room for two
great parties appealing to the
conservative and business inter-
ests.
"The Republican party has made
its definite choice; it is the party of
the propertied classes.
"To survive as an influential ma
tional factor, the Democratic party
can not compete with the Republicans
for the support of the large business
and financial interests, but must
make its appeal frankly to idealism
as humanitarian party, speaking in
behalf of labor and the great masses
of average men and women. The real
Democrats must take hold of our
party leadership and save it by guild
ing it to its high destiny as the cham
pion of human interests as contrasted
with property interests.
"The close of the last session left
as unfinished business numerous pro-
gressive measures, such as the How
ell-Barkley bill and the postal en-
ployes increase. These measures were
supported by clear majorities in the
last session, and will be brought for
ward for final action. The true pro-
gresives and friends of labor will con-
tinue to support them, but there is
undoubtedly a percentage who ride
popular currents and sail with popu-
lar winds who will be found want
ing. Record votes have been taken
on these measures. Members of Con-
gress are all on record. Any who

When the Shoe Is
on the Other Foot
(By Federated Press)


New York-It all depends whose OK
is gored. When hundreds of work
ingmen were jailed during the war
for exercising their rights of free
speech; when since the war working
men were sent to Sing Sing for ex-
erclslng their rights of free speech
and free press the New York Tribune
said Amen! 1t gave assent, too, to
the persecution of papers which ex-
ercised the rights of free press.
But now the leading editorial of the
Herald-Tribune, November rs, is The
Freedom of the Press and the feature
of the editorial is the text of the first
amendment to the federal constitu-
ton.
r Congress shall make no law re-
spectlng an establishment of religion
or prohibiting the free exercise there
of; or abridging the freedom of
speech or of the press, or the right of
the people peaceably to assemble, and
to petition the government for re-
dress of grievances.
The Herald-Tribune is calling on
the constitution of the United States
TO protect it from Attorney General
Stone who has had it indicted, charg-
ed with unlawful printing and pub
llshng of income tax returns. Og-
den Reid, president New York Tri-
6une, inc, which owns the Herald
Tribune said his defense will raise
two contentious: G) that the act of
congress on which the indictments
were based did not prohibit the pub
lication of income taxes paid; (2)
that that statute is unconstitutional.
because it violates the freedom of the
press clause of the constitution.

GETTING METROPOLITAN

Things must be whooping up near
our neighboring village of Johns
town, or else they are not accustom-
ed to what are every day occurrences
in our own up-to-date town.
In the last issue of Bill Ashbrook's S
wideawake paper, the Johnstown In
dependent, the Law and Order
League, whoever and whatever that
may be, offers reward of S25 to the
fellow who will sell out his old pals
and give information leading to the
arrest and conviction of the bootleg
gers and gamblers said to be flourish
ing and waxing fat and sassy up in
that neighborhood. Total immunity
is guaranteed to the boy who gives
the tip and pockets the blood money.
If they run the gang out up there
it is more than likely the booze ped
ders in Newark will be materially in
creased in numbers, and greater COM
petition will probably bring about a
price revision.
It's an ill wind that blows nobody
any good.

An Unusual Award
Decided by the Court

Olympia-The state supreme court
has ruled that a worker suffering
from appendicitis, contracted during
employment, is entitled to compensa-
tion. The employe was struck by a
small block of wood which had come
in contact with a whirling saw
Eleven days later the workers ap-
pendix was removed and found in an
inflamed condition
The claim was disallowed by the
state department of labor and indus
tries on the ground that the claim
ants condition was not the result of
an accident within the meaning of
the compensation act. The supreme
court ruled that the preponderance of
evidence was conclusive that the all
ment could be caused in this man
ner.

SHORT WORK DAY

The shorter work day enables the
human body-the generator of the
labor power and life force-to main
tain the best adjustment of eXpendi-
lures of energy and recuperation. 1t
affords opportunity for the interests
of life in addition to work. The long
workday means poverty of purse,
body and life.

USED CAR PROBLEM

Southern Dealers Cars in

"The used car problem for dealers
In the North and East is a more Sc
rious one than for southern automo-

northern cities.
Northern and Eastern dealers, Z"
said MIR. George, shave more used
cars on hand than southern dealers.
Not only is this a fact, but it is also
true that southern dealers cars are in
better condition. are later in models
and have a higher resale value.
After my observations in the
plants of some of the most successful
automobile dealers in the cities
visited have concluded that the solu-
ton Of the used car problem lies in
putting used car departments on the
same basis as new car departments.
BY this mean utilizing the follow up
system on prospects, soliciting for
used car business just as we do new
car business, and selling the used car
abolutely on its merits and without
exaggeration or Misrepresentation.
