Despite the claims of the packers of La Fol 1ette, made public through Editor O'Brien and the Waterbury Herald, the La Toilette campaign in Connecti- cut is not going along at all as well as they had ~hoped. In fact the activity of certain men who had axes to grind i'll jumping aboard the La Toilette band wagon to grind them has turned many who would otherwise have been friend- 1y at least away from the movement, There hasn't been any great rush in response to the appeal to workers for
 funds either, so on the whole 1t may
 be that unless the La Toilette crowd
 swallows the Socialist ticket whole 1t will have all it can do to get La Fol
 1ette and Wheeler before the public at all. to say nothing at all Of rolling up the couple of hundred thousand votes necessary to give him the state cleo tOra lVOte.

"The employer can be scared out of business and he can be taxed out of existence by the legis- 1ation which MT. La Toilette proposes in his political platform. Labor must always do its own thinking, and when you selected your leaders you gave them great powers, but did you give them the right to deliver your vote?"
 He said that he believed that the rank and file of labor would judge the presidential candidates by their acts and that they would find that the Cool idge record will stand close scrutiny.

Washington, August 23.-Joseph A. Wise, member of the Chicago Typo graphical union, has notified Chairman Butler of the Republican national con. 1a;ttce that he believes in the United States constitutions and thrrefore cal not accept the invitation to attend the Charles c. Dawes notification ceremo- nies
 Mr. Wise calls attention to Dawes support of notorious labor injunction judges in the local county elections. Dawes was joined i'll this by William /. Foster, the communist.
 As a life-ling Republican had hoped that the party might, in this cam paign, come before the people with a platform and candidates which would appeal to the best instincts of our clti- zens," said AIr. Wise.
 "About 10 months ago I took an .ac- tive part in the campaign to defeat a Democratic judge in Cook county Judge Dennis E. Sullivan, who had become | known as one of the most drastic il- junction judges in the middle west When that campaign was at its height and judge Sullivan was facing defeat Charles c. Dawes, now the vice presi- dential nominee of the Republican party rallied his personal following to the support of this Democratic injunction judge. and, in doing so, made the aston ishing declaration that in issuing the ar bitrary injunction writs restricting the rights of citizens. Judge Sullivan was merely acting in accord with the pro- visions of the constitution.
 Judge Sullivan was reelected by the votes which Mr. Dawes personally ob- tained for him in Eanston and oth CT towns surrounding Chicago. While do- ing this Mir. Dawes directed some vi cious verbal attacks against well-known and. widely, respected trade-union off, cers. He was joined in this by one Will liam /. Foster, the notorious commit mist.

WORKERS WILL URGE
 CHILD LABOR CHECK

Washington, Aug. 23-In line with declarations by the executive council the A. F. of L. will not permit the federal child labor amendment to be forgotten in the fervid political days to come.
 Trade unionists and sympathizers will be impressed with the importance of favorable action and the necessity to carry this message to their respec- tive legislatures.
 The Republican platform simply urged that the state legislatures give 'prompt consideration" to the amend ment. There was no suggestion that this consideration should be favorable There was no friendly word for the children in mill, factory and shop. Let the state legislatures dispose of the amendment as quickly as possible we care now how-summarizes the Re publican position.
 The Democratic platform is silent on the present status of the amend ment, and merely assumes a 'we-did- it. attitude
 "Without the votes of Democratic members of the congress the child albor amendment would not have been submitted for ratification" says this

DAWES AND FOSTER JOIN HANDS
 TO DEFEND LABOR INJUNCTION

presented by Messrs. Dawes and Eos ter, who, each in his own way, insist that the injunction evil is fundamen- tai part of American government. To say that the autocratic injunction pow CT, as used by Judge Sullivan and others of his kind, is inherent in the basic law of the nation, IS a libelous islander against the constitution.
 "When the United States entered the World War l enlisted in the United States regular army (Tenth United States Iniantry) although l was 45 years of age at the time to help stem the tide of the\ onrushing monarchists of the central powers. 1 felt it worth while to risk my life then in order that 1 might assist in preventing the spread of autOcratic rule over the world. Can l now agree to support political can didate, even though he be of my own party, who insists that the basic law of | free America contains in it a power of autocratic rule more arbitrary than any exercised, or even proposed, by the kaiser himself?
 "I was a good American during the war and I am a good American today I defended the constitution against a foreign foe then and I will defend the constitution now against either Mr. Dawes or MT, Foster or any others who either ienorantly or malciously, seek to mislead the people as to the true mean ing of that wonderful instrument"
 In declining to have anything to do with the Dawes candidacy, Mir. Wise declares that he will ''do everything within my power to induce citizens to support the LaF Wheeler presi- dential candidates"

STATE EDUCATION
Continued from Page One)

Labor leaders point out the increased, cost of fur and of all other material use in the manufacture of hats as an example of the folly of the state board of education. Then, too, they point out no one will purchase the fin ished product so that the course will be a dead loss, to the state.
 When the subject of opening the school first came up the Danbury board of education, which had been asked by the state to endorse the plan an to ap- propriate $1,00O for its upkeep, was bombarded with petitions against the plan.
 The board held several hearings at all of which the majority of those pre- sent were against the establishment of the hating school The board took the matter under consideration and follow ing meeting with several manufactur- CTS of open shops, announced that 1t had endorsed the plan and had appro- priated the money requested by the state.
 The decision of the state to open the school in September coming at a time when there is so much opposition tC 1t has aroused both sides more than ever and the success of the school will be awaited with keen interest.
