Remember how the steel industry
cried to high heaven that the S-hour
workday wouldn't work, couldn't
work and would ruin the steel trade
il established?
Now this same steel industry is ac-
tually conceding that the S-hour day
is working. with benefit to all con-
cerned. Here's the way the New
York Times tells the story:
THE first half year of the 8-hour
day in the steel industry has shown

The first broadside of the Interna-
tional Labor News Service against
the latest form of anti-union propa-
ganda drew an immediate statement
by William II. Barr, president of the
National Founders Association in
which Barr declared the objects of the
American Motion Picture Corpora
ton were entirely innocent. Their
propaganda was to be directed he
said, against the sinister activities in
the United States Of agents of Soviet
Russia and their pictures would de-
pict clean "Americanism." In such
efforts they could work shoulder TO
shoulder with the American Fedora
ton of Labor. Sweet angels of Light
Can't Fool Organized Labor
Naturally Mr.. Barr did not send
such a communication to the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor; he sent ii
to the newspapers. The A. +. of l..
represents that part of the public
Bars statement was intended for
that part of the gullible public that
is fooled all the time. But Bars
Barnum role is becoming harder and
harder. Fewer and fewer people pat
ronize his hullabaloo. All is not well
under the big tent. The crv, "Hey,
Rube!" comes with a frequency pain
full to the diamond studded impress
sarios.
What Mr.. Barr says to the public
and what he says in private are en-
tirely at variance, as those who have
had the privilege of sitting in at his
private seances with the buccaneers
among men industrially prominent
can testify.

There is no question about the fact
that the American Motion Picture
Corporation will eventually oppose
the S-hour day, child labor legisla-
ton, restriction of immigration and
other forward-looking movements of
organized labor just as they will OPP
pose the organization of unions. The
owners of Southern textile mills on
the board of the Corporation have
no decisions about that, nor have
many of those who have been ap-
preached about assOeiating themselves
with the organization. But that prop
uganda is not being disseminated at
present; that would be too obvious
for a group of men accustomed to
propaganda methods.
Anti Union Films TO Come Later
The Corporation is now trying to
establish a reputation in the trade
for bona fide motion picture features,
because theatre owners know that
propaganda pictures sound their own
death knell when they are too bla-
family done and are weary of new
concerns in the field. But even this is
proving an expensive venture. In
ternational Labor News Service is in
formed that none of the distributing
branches is making money.
No anti-union pictures have yet
been shown by Bars outfit. His
agents have been peddling pictures
of the Community Picture Corpora
ton and the International Church
Film Company, two groups with fine
sounding names, which have been
bought up by Barr. But an organi-
cation that is prepared to lose mil
lion dollars year is worth watching.

FIGHT To BREAK
/. TWO-TH|RDS

McAdoo Himself Takes Lead
in Calling Off His Forces
and Ending Split

NEW YORK, June 24.-The stir
created in official Democratic circles
by pre-convention announcements
that a bitter fight would be made
10 abolish the two.thirds rule for
nominating the President and Vice
President, subsidized to little more
than a mild ripple on the surface
today.
McAdoo forces, where the talk of
abrogating the two-thirds rule was
most prevalent, came out fatty
with the statement that they would
not press the fight.
Leaders Of other camps also an.
parently have abandoned the battle
an the eve of the meeting Of the
rules committee, which was expected
TO have been split wide open by
the controversy.
McAdoo himself was understood
60 nave taken the lead in calling
off his forces, believing. after check.
ing with the arriving delegations,
that 1t would be unwise at this
time to fight for substitution Of
majority rules.
A move probably will be made in
the committee to abolish the rule.
out 1t is not expected to gain anv
considerable strength. The opinion
OF practically all delegations, in.
dicated in an unofficial poll, is that
the two-thirds rule Is fundamentally
q Democratic doctrine and should
st be altered.

NEW YORK, June 24.--New
Workers. expect history to repeat it..
self. The only other national con.
vention held in this city since the
civil war resulted in the nomination
Of governor Of New York, Hora-
ito Seymour for President. From
the lowest to the highest New
Workers. are resolved that the Sec
Ond convention In New York city
shall result in the nomination OF
al Smith.
Seymour was not elected, Il Is
true, but Democrats and Republl.
cans tell you that If AL Smith IL
nominated for President, he will
carry New York in a walk. It is
that conviction that is responsible
for the wonderful fight New York
ID putting up for their popular gov
ernor. They see but one lion in
the path, only one obstacle in the
way. And that is William G.. NC
Adoo.
Therefore "NIcAdoo must be de-
stroyed," rising through the city
iust as in ancient Rome the cry
was Carthage must be destroyed y
The New York World is the voice
of this attack on McAdoo and it is
Is vigorous and as bitter as the el-
der Pulitzer was Of old.
McAdoo lived In New York. He
made possible the tubes. He was
the ablest and most resourceful Sec
rotary of the Treasury in fifty
years. He financed the world war
without commissions to bankers
and made raising money to carry
on the war rallying cry and in
centive to recruiting and victory
These things are all forgotten. Nc
Adoo never did anything but repre-
sent Doheny. 1t is the unpardon
able sin. Many would cruelty him
for that praise bther lawyers for
doing exactly what McAdoo did.
Much OF the anti.McAdoo crusade
is not at all against McAdoo, the
man, or what he has done. It ia
because New York sees in McAdoo
the formidable rival of Governor
Smith. Their hearts are so set
upon him that they can see no
good in McAdoo. If the scene
should change tomorrow and some
other man became the leading can
didate the attack would be az
fierce as upon McAdoo.

The delegation chairman, former
Governor Frederick D. Gardner, has

customary gavel. It proved 80 in.

important enough to keep it from
dropping In next door and watching
the MisSourians.

chairman, had predicted upon ar.

So many collectors Of telephone

California delegation decided to dis
gu1se them as "Juanita" and Mar

When a delegate from Georgia,

visited the booth and saw how the
idea was catching hold, he galloped
