forces which actually shape the course
of business. Cool examination of
these forces, as they are traceable In
current records, discloses no likeli-
hood OF business boom" And a
week later it declares:
when one seeks, however, for the
material basis of the higher price
levels in the stock market, he meets
the fact that there have been practic-
ally no changes for the beter--certain-
ly no decisive change in the prospects
either Of Industrial or railroad shares,
except insofar as confidence alone
stands for better outlook. While the
activity was greatest in Wall Street,
there was no upward surge in the de-
mand for steel, no warrant for any
great increase in the production Of
pig iron, only a very slight advance
in the cotton textile industry, no adj
vance In the automobile market to
represent greater buying activity on
the part of the wheat farmers, no
increase in general merchandise trade

buying power TO the farmers has not
materialized. There are no facts to
warrant the belief that the depression
which existed during 1924 will be i'm
mediately overcome.
The severe economic crisis con.
fronting International capitalism SER
iously disturbed American agriculture
as well as industry.
On May IL, 1924, the Advisory Coun-

discussing the dangers to America in
its having more than half the worlds
monetary gold and in making strong
endorsement OF the Dawes plan, point
cd out the seriousness of the present
situation by citing: "rhe economic
mal-adjustment already existing with

men which not only disturbs and en-
dangers our trade with other coun-
tries, but which makes our agricul-
tural situation particularly difioult

The last i've years have witnessed
breakdown in our agricultural
economy which has brought sharply

GOMPERS LIKELY TO
 HAVE NO OPPONENT .
 AT FL PASO MEETING
Several Innovations to Mark 44th A. F. of L. Convention, Open-

l President Samuel Gompers, Secretar
 Frank Morrison, members of the execu tive council and the headquarters staf of the American Federation of Labo left Washington last Sunday, for E Paso. Texas, where the forty-f fourth an nual convention of the federations open on Monday.
 Sessions of the convention will bt held in Liberty Hall, Fl Paso, and it i. expected about $50 delegates will be ii attendance with the usual quota of fra. ternal delegates from other countries.
 Incidentally, this will be the twenty ninth convention that President Com pers and Secretary Morrison have at tended together. record not achieved by chief officers of any other similar labor body in the world.
 This years convention will be larger than the one held at Portland, Oregon, in 1925" said Secretary Morrison. "It will be the first conyention of the fed eration ever held in the great state of Texas Another innovation will be all exchange of joint sessions for one day with the Mexican Federation of Labor, which will be holding its convention at the same time in Juarez, just across the border line
 The executive council report, includ- ing that of President Gompers and my self, will show the members of the federation has successfully resisted all attacks of the enemies of labor and that the finances are in good shape"
 It is possible that the officers and dele gates may go to Mexico City to attend the inauguration of General Gales as president of the Mexican republic, which takes place on December l. General Gales personally extended an invitation to the executive council when he was a guest of that body in Atlantic City dur ing the past summer, and 1t IS under stood similar invitation will be ex- tended the delegates while in session at Fl Paso.

Women hair bobbers are barbers in all senses of the work and must pass nexamination and be licened same as men according to an opinion by Attor- ney, General Healy this week, thus set ting at rest an agitation started by the Barbers' Union delegates at the recent C. F. of L. convention III which was urged action to bring the women under the same category as male barbers.
 To trim the tresses of a member of the fair sex who wants to get into the bobbed hair class will now require more than five minute and a pair of scissors, Attorney General Frank Heaiy threw a "big Bertha into feminine circles this week when in an opinion given the State Barbers' Commission at Hartford he ruled that all persons engaged in bobbing women shair must have a state barber's license.

Frank Morrison
 Stumps Lawyer
Are you a Methodist ?"

AIe you MelHOQlSt!
 This question, coming unexpectedly from the lips of Frank Morrison, sec retary of the American Federation of Labor, as the slush fund inquiry startled the committee and the audi ence.
 Morrison was being attacked by the lawyer appointed by the Coolidge man agers to "get something" on the Az F. of L. before election day. The lawyer had just finished inveighing against the wickedness of organized labor con- ducting "econdary boycotts.'
 T was one" replied the startled at torney.
 "If you are,' said Morrison with a smiling face, look up the rules and regulations of the Methodist Episcopal church and you will find that they say there, Deal ye with one another, for the world takes care of its own
 "As a good Methodist you must rec ognize you have the right to deal with your friends and if it is good enough for the Methodists to do that I do not see why any fault should be found with the Federation for adopting the same policy"

WESTERN EMPLOYERS USE CIRCULARS TO
 INTIMlDATE LABOR
While It Is Stated That They Do Not Wish to Intimidate, the Infer-
 ence Is Plain.

Tacoma, Wash, Nov 15-Large em- ployers of labor along the Pacific coast openly intimidated workers inthe clos ing days of the campaign.
 Circulars were issued to these en- ployers, who were advised to distrib- ute them in their plants. The effect twill be good if handled in the manner indicated" the employers were told. The following is sample of the terroritic propaganda:
 "To Our Employes-It is your right to vote as you please, but it is your duty as an American citizen, to cast an intel ligent ballot based upon judgment and not upon prejudice.
 "It is not our purpose to attempt in any manner to intimidate or coerce, you. All we ask is that you use your own best judgment so that you may vote for your own interest and for the real well fare of the American people.
 'Your interests lie in steady employ ment, good wages and good working conditions. Tn order to have steady em- ployment, good wages and good work ing conditions, it is first necessary to have conditions under which industry can operate. In that respect, our inter ests are identical.
 Business depression means idustrial retrenchment and stagnation can only result in low wages and unemployment
 "The platform upon which La Toilette is running for president is so radical and so revolutionary that his election would necessarily result in a period of business depression and general hard times.

BRICKLAYERS TO REAFFLIATE WITH
 TRADES COUNCIL
New Haven Union Drops Differences Caused By Internal Build-
 ing Trades Row.

After being out for a matter oi
 about two years the New Haven local of the Bricklayers and Plasterers
 Union at its meeting this week voted to reaffiliate with the New Haven Trades Council and the Building Trades Council and will be represented by delegates at the next meeting of those bodies. The action was taken following a visit of President John w. Murphy of the Trades Council to the Bricklayers at which an invitation to return was extended and the bricklay- CTS accepted. They elected as dele gates to the Council President James Canavan, Peter Bohan and John O'Brien.
 The Bricklayers never actually with drew from the Council but were prac- tica1ly forced out by the action of cer- tain members of other building trades with whom they had come into conflict. The dispute was waged in the building trades council an died to the brick layers refusing to longer have anything to do with that body under the con- ditions that existed then and which finally resulted in busting up that or ganization so that 1t Is only recently that 1t began to function again after. several months of hard work by inter ested union men to bring it together again.
 Following this action tv the brick layers the same individuals brought Up the constitutional provision that a union must be member of it's trade division to also be member of the central body and when this came up on the floor the bricklayers were auto- matiea1ly forced from the Council all though they had never sought~nor de sired such a result. They promptly moved their quarters and meeting place from Trades Council hall and have ever since been aloof from the central body.
