PROFITS OF ORGANIZATION

Organized labor has found the
years since the slump highly profit
able The farmer, since the same
slump, has found agriculture unprof-
table, the United Board of Agricul
ture reports. Why has one group Of
producers been making progress,
while another has not?
The answer lies in organization.
The workers have been organized and
have successfully resisted efforts to
beat down their wages and standards
of living.
The farmers have not been organ
lied and so have not been able to set
the price of their labor, which in
their occupation is represented by the
price of farm products. So they have
been forced to work for compensa-
ton that has not yielded a CONNER
cial return on their invested capital
or a fair wage for themselves and
their families.
In organization lies the hope of the
farmer. When he organizes he will
be able to exert a measure Of control
of farm production, farm prices and
farm marketing. He will then be
able to defeat the predatory groups
that make farming Improbable, just
as labor has fought successfully the
pirates of the industrial world.

DRASTIC SUNDAY LAWS
THREATEN

The Lords Day Alliance has organ
lied its forces for the biggest fight
this fall and during 1925 it has ever
had in all the thirty years of its his
tory, according to Harry L. Bowlby,
its general secretary. A permanent
lobby has just been established in
Washington, D. c., for the purpose OF
keeping in constant touch with Con-
gressmen. and crowding them into an
acceptance of the Sunday law pro-
gram of the Alliance.
The Alliance has also carefully and
permanently organized its forces in
every State east of Illinois and north
of the Mason-DiXon line, except Del
aware, has organized Kentucky and
Tennessee, and is organizing Texas
and other Southern States. Califor-
MIA, which has no Sunday law, has
not escaped, for Mr.. Bowlby declares
the Alliance has in that State one of
it's strongest organizations. In fact,
every State in the Union is to be put
| on an organized basis by this assocla-
ton, which Mr.. Bowlby says is sup
ported by eighteen religious denom-
| nations, and which is working for the
| most drastic Sunday laws-mild laws
first, the drastic ones as soon as poss-
| ible. "Make no mistake about 1T, he
| said recently, "this coming year is 60
ing to be one Of the biggest years in
our history. We shall have the big
gest fight we have ever had"
With forty-four legislatures meet
| inc in as many States, and with the
Lords Day Alliance bringing upon
the lawmakers every pressure poss-
ible to force them into making Sun
| dav laws more stringent than any yet
| enacted,-laws which are in direct
violation Of the rights Of the people,
and contrary to the guarantees of
both national and State constitutions,
there doubtless will be a more Wig
orous forensic contest than this coun-
! try has ever seen.
The Sunday law cohorts tell the
lawmakers that they are interested in
the health, morals, and general well
fare of the community; they tell the
laboring man they are very anxious
that he have a day of rest; but when
| they speak, to their supporters in the
churches, they make it very plain
they want people to go to church on
Sunday And they intend to make it
so hard for people to do anything
else, that they will have to go.
Every man has a God-given right
to choose for himself, not only what
church he will attend, but what day
he will keep. Sunday laws violate
that right. Moreover, no civil law
can change the heart. Religious laws
only make men hypocrites. The Sun
day law reformers are attempting to
do by law what only the power of
God can do. Americans who cherish
the religious freedom for which their
forefathers sought these shores, who
braved the hardships of pioneer life
among wild, untamed savages, in or
der that they might worship God ac-
cording to the dictates of their own
conscience, should oppose the work of
so-called religious refOrmers with
eternal vigilance.

Lewis May Be Next
Secretary of Labor
{By Federated Press)

Washington-Jo L. Lewis, pres
ident United Mine Workers of Amer
lea is to be secretary of labor after
March A, according to administration
patronage experts. j. j. (Puddler)
Davis, the Pittsburgh banker million
aire whom Harding installed in that
office, is ready to quit when his four
year term is done, and get into the
race for governor of Pennsylvania.
w. B. Wilson, the only preceding Sec
retary of labor, was a coal miner
Lewis was called to the white house
at the height of the recent campaign,
and his friends say they knew from
that moment he would get the cabinet
job.
Two other labor men have been
mentioned, though less prominently,
, as possible winners of the award for
Jealous service to Coolidge. They are
T. V. O'Connor, who discovered"
that La Toilette was being financed
from Russia, and w. G.. Lee of the
Railway Trainmen. O'Connor is
chairman of the shipping board,
which pays much better than his orig
inal position as president of the
Longshoremen. Lee failed to exert
much influence in his organization,
and is understood to be willing to
have a good chunk Of political pork
handed instead to his legislative
agent in the capital, w. N. Doak. The
latter might be put en- The The interstate
commerce commission when the first
vacancy occurs.
Two men will finally control the
distribution Of the cabinet posts.
They are Andrew Mellon, secretary of
the treasury, and Frank Stearns, fl
nancial hacker of the Coolidge career.
Stearns is expected to become secre-
tary of commerce if Hoover quits;
otherwise he may replace New as
postmaster general or Work as sec
retary of the interior. They are hard
boiled, anti-labor, and they will toll
crate Lewis in the cabinet only be-
cause he is thought valuable poll
tical asset to reactionary party.

New Office Building
Of Am. InS. Union

Columbus first concrete building,
the National Office of the American
Insurance Union, Columbus, Ohio, has
been torn down to make way for the
mammoth skyscraper to be erected by
this company. When this building
was erected in 1905 it was consider
ed the engineering marvel Of Colum-
bus because it was the first concrete
building to be constructed here. The
walls were poured solid, forming a
box-like structure, upon which it was
the intention of the A. |. U. to erect
additional stories as needed.
Mr.. G. H. Shartzer Of Dayton, Ohio,
who had charge of the demolition Of
these buildings on this half square,
said:
"The building was all solid con-
crete. The only steel used was in
floor construction, consisting of 6 and
8 inch I-beams, 5 #. on centers. Wire
cable was used for tying, with tie
rods in the side walls. The basement
walls were SO inches thick, first floor
80 inches, second floor "a inches,
third floor "a inches thick, and fourth
floor 18 inches, and $50 ton jacks
were used to jack the walls over
Electric drills were used to drill holes
in the larger blocks of concrete, which
were then wedged to sizes small
enough for the steam shovel"
In the old Colonial Theatre which
Mr.. Shartzer wrecked on the same
site two 70 ft. steel beams were used
in gallery construction, one weighed
40 tons and the other 80 tons. These
were the longest steel beams in Co.
lumbus.
The wrecking of these buildings is
completed and crew of $50 men are
now beginning on the foundation
work, sinking A caissons ranging in
depth from 101 to 122 feet. Specifi
cations for the steel work for this
527-foot structure have been sent in
to the company which has the con-
tract to furnish this material, and de-
liveries will be started in January.
The new structure, when complet
ed, will be Columbus tallest building,
the fifth tallest building in the U. S.
and the largest fraternal building in
the world.

DESERTED HIM

The same old thing has happened,
And the workers as Of yore
Went up against an oiled machine
Which simply bowled them o'er
A faithful few stood up ike men
With hopes of victory.
The others flopped, old party ties
Prevailed-What mockery.
How they cheered for Bob La Toilette
And said with him they would stay
But now the world knows how they
'fluked"
Upon election day.
In years to come the course they took
They cannot well defend
They deserted Bob La Toilette
Who had been their staunchest
friend.
You've seen the thoughtless nincom-
poop
Who, with a sickly grin,
Says, "I'll not throw my vote away
On one who cannot win"
And yet they talk about
The heather tribes in Timbuctoo;
They'd better keep the missionaries
home,
There's lots to do.

MORGAN'S NOMINATION
FOR GOVERNOR APPROVED

Charles C. Iams, editor of the Nj
Vernon Republican-News, in the issu
If November 8, seconds the Leader
nomination of William M. Morgan TO
Governor of Ohio as follows:
"The Newark Leader nomln-
ates Congressman William M.
Morgan of this congressional dis
trict as the Republican candidate
for governor two years hence
The nomination is not exactly
new. Mr.. Morgan having been
urged many times ard by many
persons the past year to become
candidate. there being a strong
feeling among his many friends
that he is an ideal man for the
office. Mr.. Morgan, as we have
before remarked, does not seek
office for the office itself, but as
a means to an end, and that end
is service. That he has given
faithful service as congressman,
and that that service has been
noted and appreciated by his con-
stituents, is evidenced by his ma
iority of last Tuesday of approx
mately $4,000 in a district nor
mally Democratic. He has been
and will continue to be a real
congressman, and he would be
real governor if placed in that
office. While he is a stalwart
Republican he is by no means
''hide bound" and his constant
objective is to serve the people,
without regard to party lines, to
the best of his ability. He is one
of the few men who command
the confidence and respect of all
classes-the wage Garner, the
farmer, the business man, the
professional man, the manufac-
turer. In the first instance Mr.
Morgan did not seek the office of
congressman. He stood for the
position only after repeated So
licitations. Defeated the first time
he ran, because of circumstances
wholly beyond the control Of HIM
self or his supporters, he was
elected two years later, and now
has been given a third term. We
would say that Mr.. Morgan's nat
ural place is in the congress, but
the experiences Of the Republi-
cans party in Ohio prove that
make-shift nominations never
will restore to them the COVER
norship. A man measuring up to
the job is needed, and Mr. Nor
gan certainly measures up. I'm
less developments show that he
can render better service in the
congress than he can as governor,
he should be drafted for the lat
ter office. We second the Lead
er's nomination"

STRAIN AT THE GNAT

The city Of Erie, Pa has recently
been stirred over an effort to close by
law all places Of business and stop
all labor in that city on Sunday. This,
of course, is done by clergymen.
Somehow it does seen strange that
ministers of the gospel will persist in
appealing to the law to foster pure
ly religious issue. Is it more of a
crime to workin ones garden on Sun
day than on Saturday? What Grim
inal act has a man done when he sells
a loaf on bread on Sunday, Monday,
or Saturday? Any child can answer
that? He has done no crime. If he
has not committed a crime, the law
should not condemn him.
The leaders in the crusade no doubt
consider such an act sin. Very
well; does the state punish for a sin
which is not also crime? If it goes
into that, it may punish the sin of
sin is not known. True, but the In
QUESTION was for the purpose of find
ing out such things and bringing
them to the surface. These inquisi-
tional Puritan-inclined might yet find
the old methods useful in working out
their plans.
The fact that good men are back of
the Sunday law movement only makes
it the more dangerous Good men
with a mistaken sense of duty to
make others good also, have ever
been the most relentless prosecutors.

A Weekly Panorama of Events in the
National Capital
(Rv Peter Keeganl

NOW that he is a political accident
IN no longer, but a President of the
United States in his own right, the
country is going to see considerable
change in Calvin Coolidge. 1t need
not be expected that his tongue Wllll
loosen up to any great extent, OF that
anv of his habits Of lifetime Will
be of a sudden changed, but in his at
titude toward the administering OF
the affairs of the Government Will

He believes that the big majority by
which his first term in the White
House was approved by the people
has given him a mandate to govern
the United States in his own way and
according to his own policies.

Cleveland is beginning to rea-
liEe that big fish makes tre-
mendous splash when dropped into
a small pool. A civic committee
is bringing "The Miracle" and the
Metropolitan Opera to the Cleve-
land Public Auditorium = the
former for the Christmas holidays,
and the latter in early spring. In
consequence of the fact that the
necessary extensive preparations
for "The Miracle" will close the
huge ampitheatre for seven weeks
to play three-weeks' engagement,
the schedule of nearly everything
of a public nature has been upset,
ranging from symphony concerts
to boxing exhibitions. Several of
the latter have been cancelled.
John Mccormack, booked for
January II, and with widely
scattered advance sale for that
date, has been forced to appear
Sunday, November both, or forego
the pleasure of singing in the
Forest City. AS a result, the
famous Irish tenor's tour of tbe
entire west had to be revised and
adjusted to the arbitrary change.

CONGRESS will again be in session
- here on the first day of Decemcc
ber to remain until the fourth OF
March when it will expire automatic
ally with President Coolidge's lnau-
guration. There is not expected to be
much legislation out of this short
session. In both the Senate and
House there still exists those slender
Republican majorities which were the
cause of so much trouble to the Ad-
ministration last spring when the tax
reduction legislation was under con,
sideration. Some tax measure Will
be discussed by the dying Congress,
but action on the Mellon plan is not
expected for another year. There Will
be also some legislation having to do
With the farming industry and the
usual appropriation bills, now near
ing completion by the Budget Bu-
reau.

THE old guard Republicans are al
ready planning how they are go
ing to punish La Toilette when the
69th Congress opens. If their pres
ent plans go through they will de
prive him and all other so-called Re
publicans who supported him in the
presidential campaign of all their
committee assignments. La Toilette
for instance, is the ranking Republi-
can member of both the Interstate
Commerce and Finance Committees,
in view of his long service, in addition
to holding the Guardianship of the
Committee on Manufacturers, with a
private office only a few steps from
the Senate Chambers. The loss of
this Craftsmanship would mean that
his office would have to be located in
another building two city blocks away
from the Chamber

A PPARENTLY undismayed by 60
"a ing down to defeat with Senator
La Toilette, officers of the American
Federation of Labor are seriously
considering the abandonment of their
policy of partisan political ac-
ton as the first step in the forma-
ton in this country of new poll
tical party modelled after the Labor
Party of Great Britain. Although
Democrat for many years, Samuel
Gompers, president of the federation,
is said to be in favor of such a move:
If such party is formed it would
probably go into the presidential
campaign in 1928 with its own candi-
date as it did this year with La Fol
lette.

SMALL CHANCE IN OHIO

gThe Ohio general assembly is over
Rhelmingly Republican, therefore it
is thought the child labor amendment
will be defeated when it is up for rat
ification next January.
Big business is opposed to the
amendment, as the employment of
little children in industry has been
found very profitable. With the
special interests demanding the de-
feat of the measure it is generally
conceded the Republican legislators
will obey.

committee as approving the edu-
cational value of "The Miracle"

POSTMASTER General New ha

POSTMASTER General New has
put his foot down again on pro-
posals to increase the pay of postal
employees unless second and third
class postal rates are increased at the
same time. His position is that the
Post Office will incur a deficit unless
the departments income is permitted
to increase in proportion to any addi-
tional outgo. This means that many
newspaper publishers will find them
selves opposed to the pay increase
proposal as increased postal rates in
the classes designated by New will
result in increased newspaper ex-
penses. 1t is one of the problems
that Congress will have to tackle next
month.
