 In an article commenting upon the action of the minister of railways, the New Zealand Review, the official or gan of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants of New Zealand, re- marks as follows on the minister S proposition and the promise of the disgruntled shopmen not to strike:
 "* Are they prepared to sur render the only really effective weapon which the worker has in the working class armory? No wonder the minis ter of railways welcomes this sting less organization with the greatest pleasurel A strike is a formidable weapon, and only to be used on the last resource, but if the employing class can be quite sure that it is not available to any body of men then these men can keep on arguing to their hearts content-and nothing they want will come to pass"

We Can Make the Future a Paradise
 For All Workers
By GEORGE w. PERKINS,

Editor, Cigar Makers Official Journal. We know what the past and the present conditions of the wage earn CTS was and Is. What of the future In this enlightened age 1t may be said without reservation that conditions i'll so far as labor is concerned are just what labor makes them.
 There is no way for labor to make better conditions except through their unions and collective bargaining. By proper organization many of the things brought about by improved ma chinery, science, and intelligent ap plication can be made real blessings for the working masses.
 United productive labor can bring about an economic condition vastly superior to that enjoyed today by the very best organized and highest paid labor. This can be done without dis turbing the existing conditions of gov ernnent and means of production Trade and commerce will not need to be upset or disturbed. Industrial pro- duction, intensive farming, and hnan- cial institutions will prosper and go forward without interruption. The only people who will suffer will be the grafter, profteer, and the idle rich. This fact can not be disputed.
 The high power automobile, super power and wonderfully productive and creative electrical devices, the airship and hundred and one other wonder full inventions which a few short years ago were thought to be but a dream are now visible, tangible real tiles.
 We have 1t within our power to make the future what we should El<e to have 1t and what 1t should be-a paradise in which all workers, all who give service and useful activities may enjoy life as befts~ human beings Such a condition can not be brought, about except by and through the or ganization of the workers in construc- tive trade unions.

Then throughout the city i'll every ward where the La Toilette ticket had sup port the democratic nominees lost, making, as The Labor News predicted, a half vote for Coolidge every time a democrat pulled the third party lever.
 Now there IS a story going the rounds of political circles, republican mostly, that the third ticket was only a game skilfully planned and carried out to buffalo the voters and ensure the return to the republican grafters at Washington. It is baldly stated that La Toilette first oi all IS polite ian, second republican and third an egotist He may be progressive at that, 1t is admitted by those now broadcasting the tale, but progress siye only when Bob progresses some what himself Therefore to ensure the reelection of the republican admins tration Bob's vanity was played upon and he was egged on by the very sources he is supposed to be combat ting to start an uproar and third ticket, those sources knowing full well that he would cause such a rumpus that they could scare the people into voting to retain the present admins tration They did-he did-and the people did and here we are again.

By International Labor News Service.
 Wilmington, D. C., Nov. 8.-Santiago fgleias, president of the Porto Rican Federation of Labor, reports that a general labor organization campaign is being carried on in Porto Rico. This campaign is active among the cigar makers who are gradually recon structing their movement and gaining in membership by the action con- ducted by the joint advisory board of the Cigarmakers' Unions under the leadership of Organizer Riera Mar tinez.
 All the other trades are also moving on the same line of organization business.
 Labor Day was generally and sp1en didly obsered by all the local unions in the different towns of Porto Rico and big parades and meetings were held in more than 20 cities, MT. Ig1esias says.

 Wellington, New Zealand, Nov. S. Dual unions of railroad workers are favored by the New Zealand minister of railways, J. C. Coates, who seems to think his control over the policies of the regular unions will thereby be increased.
 In communication addressed to the minister certain disgruntled shopmen opposed to the present officials and methods of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants of New Zealand offered to organize dual union pledged mot to use the strike method" in settling disputes and to submit their grievances to the general man ager for final adjudication.
 In his reply the Minister of Rail ways stated that he would give off cial recognition to the dual union provided 1t is composed entirely of artisans employed in the railway workshops, and that no person out side the railway service Is admitted

 Farms heavily stocked with hogs were found to be usually more sue cessful than those on which other classes of stock predominated. The study indicated that the production of dairy products, poultry and eggs on all farms and of beef cattle on the larger farms should be encouraged along with the raising of hogs which represent the principal money crop of the district.
 To produce incomes to support ade- quately the families living on the smaller farms calls for increased pro- duction, according to the Federal in vestigators making the study Crop yields per acre and livestock receipts per animal were important factors. The farms which were above the av-

La Toilette did not give up his sen ate job neither did Wheeler. They are to be sued again and already are claim l ing to be the nec1ues of a new party. They lost their chance months ago when they issued orders that no state or other tickets should be added to their lists. If there is to be third party 1t must come from elsewhere than La Toilette. The voters are like Barnum said-suckers orice in awhile but not all the time As a protet vote as many Organized Labor men ad mitted they were to register 1t was a fine showing-just like cutting oq your nose to spite your face. The workers didn't want Coolidge and Dawes and knew they couldn't get La Toilette and Wheeler, Consequently they voted for La Toilette and Wheeler and gave Coolidge and Dawes practically clear field for reelection.
 Now they can expect the thanks from the White House and the Senate Chamber. They'll get 1t right for Puritan, Ku K1ux Kfan Kal and Down With the Labor Man Dawes will cer- tain1y hold open house for all anti labor bills that come before them.

 Of labor, the commission said:
 .Labor.-In order to stabilize wages, protect the native workers from harm full competition with alien 1aborers, and to generally assist in the relief of in dustrial depression 1t Is recommended that the Department of Labor appoint for service on the Virgin Islands a commiss sioner of conciliation, who shall enforce the Federal immigration laws"
 Speedy Relief Urged.
 The commission reported that the workers are largely housed in one room shacks and that much of their food is "fungee," mess oR corn meal and fish.
 MT. Iglesias says that organization of the workers in the Virgin Islands will come when the United States takes steps to improve the economic conditions of the islands population. In speaking of the recommendations made by the Government commission and by representatives of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, he says:
 There is still much to do. The most important part of this question, to see that all these recommendations are crystallized and converted into realities and facts, has yet to be done. The American Federation of Labor that so generously extended it's help ing hand to this people. has now to see to it that such recommendations be complied with, by Congress, by the different departments of the United States concerned, by the proper off cials and by a1l those in authority in Washington who deal with this people, and we recommend this to you. It will be only when these recommendations, or good portion of them, are com piled with, that we will be in a posi- ton to have proper organizations formed to do some practical work for the people of the Virgin Islands.
 Conditions Grow Worse.
 Tn our opinion the people of the Virgin Islands should receive prefer- entia1 and immediate attention from the Washington authorities
 "In closing this part of my report want to emphasize this, because con- ditions in the Virgin Islands have gone from bad to worse since the above recommendations of the Federal com mission were made. Only a few days ago the Virgin Islands were devastated by terrible hurricane that swept all the islands. destroyed their little crops, houses and more than one hundred lives. Many people were injured, and considerable damage was caused. Con ditions there on that account are un- bearable. These people are in need of immediate relief"

Second Volume of Labor History
 Now on Press

By International Labor News Service. Washington, D. C., Nov. 8-The second volume of the American Fed eration of Labor History, Encyclope- dia and Reference Book is HOW on the press and will be ready for distribu- tion before the new year.
 It contains the proceedings of the conventions of the American Fedora ton of Labor for 1919, 1920, 1921, 1922 and 1923. It will be book of about 400 pages, and is an important addition to the first volume of the History, En- cyclopedia and Reference Book which was issued in 1919.
 Tn speaking the forthcoming volume Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor, said
 Probably no more important matters have arisen in the history of the American Federation of Labor than in the last five years After the armistice many things happened that made most important labor history. The plot to defate labor and the farm CTS caused disputes that required from two to three years to adjust.
 "Just what labor did to protect it. self and successfully pass through dur ing this strenuous period is all told III the book, which is the only work.of the kind ever printed by any labor move ment in the world.

would result in forcing unorganized, la bor into the railroad unions and com pei the adoption of the "closed shop principle in the operation of American railways.
 MT. Ream asserted that the Esch- Cummins act was written in order that the railways of the United States might be given anA opportunity to earn fair return on their investments, and to make them : permanent institution among the private enterprises that have to do with national welfare,
 This act epitomizes the public opin- ion of the country, which is opposed to the public ownership of railroads" said Mr. Ream ''The only people not satis- fled with the Transportation act are the members of those organizations who see in its success the inevitable defeat of i their own ambitions for the control and tems.
 Radical labor leaders propose to re- peal this act by stirring up public dis content on a few of its subordinate pealed they will be able to throw the transportation service into general in efficiency and disrepute. After this in efficiency has continued and the public are run, a general campaign will be started calling for government owner ship, either i'll the previously advocated Plumb plan or something every similar thereto.
 This proposal, of course, will be ad- vocated by various politicians who will see in the scheme great opportunity for patronage and the enhancement of tn cir political power and the opportunity to distribute favors With the establish ment of government ownership, of course, will come the final and desired control of organized labor in all the transportation facilities of the country"
 Mr. Ream declared that the American Economic Institute had no interest what ever in the political phases of this pro gram and continued:
 Ut is concerned only with the erro- neous principles of economics upon which. the program is based, and it feels called upon to say to the American pub lie that here Is proposal from minor ity of citizens which is contrary to the sound principles of economics and will inevitably disintegrate the transportation service upon which our prosperity is based. Having disrupted the transpor- tation system, 1t will also tie up all the essential industries, such as farming. manufacturing and mining, which are depending for their success upon an adequate transportation service.
 t'If the American people desire to pre- serve the present prosperity and insure their opportunities for meeting the in creased world market, they cannot af ford to have any class, moved by selfish motives, fo1st upon this Government scheme which is essentially false in its economies"
