Progressive Ticket Has Even Chance
10 Beat Coolidge, La Follete Tells
Big Conference Of Labor Executives

BY International Labor News Service
Washington, D. C.-"The progress
sive movement is sweeping the coun-
try to such an extent that conserva-
tive observers now grant the indie
pendent progressive ticket an even
break with President Coolidge for the
election" Senator Robert M. La Fol-
lette told a meeting of labor execu-
tives here
The meeting, presided over by
Warren S. Stone, president of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
was the first gathering of represen-
tatives of all groups of organized la
Dor and included members of the
national non-partisan political cam
paign committee of the American
Federation of Labor, as well as the
presidents and officers of the leading
national labor organizations.
Reports Show Big Progressive Sweep
Tracing the history of the cam
paign to date, Senator La Toilette
said: "When we began we hoped for
seven or eight states, and we talked
about throwing the election into con-
gress. But there is a ground swell on
in this country-the tide of progress
sive sentiment is amazing. | have
worked with many of you for years
and hope to keep on working with
you for ten or twenty years to come.
l do not want to jeopardize my repu-
tation as a seasoned political OBJ
server, but today our movement is
even with the candidacy of Coolidge,
and our movement is growing stead
lily. AS things stand today we have
an absolutely even break to win. y
Senator La Toilette then cited con-
siderable variety of reports from
business men, farmers, and persons
in every walk of life in different Sec
tions of the country to amplify his
previous statement.
"People are realizing" he said
"that in another 25 years, if they are
not checked, the small group which
is trying to gain control of the mar
kets of America and of her natura
resources will have reduced the farm
ers to the level of the peasantry Of
Europe and the workingman will have
become merely a privileged slave.

be a hardship to the trusts thousands
Of unorganized workers who were in
duced to invest in this stock. They
were told that the income would pro-
tect them during unemployment.
Many of them are no unemployed,
and those who are working face wage
reductinos All of them have failed
to collect their dividends, while the
insiders" who knew the blow was
coming, have won more than their
dividends by playing the market with
out a chance to lose.
The grim humor of the situation is
the warning to labor by these "insid-
ers" and their political agents that
1.-The election of La Toilette will cause
hard times"
The woolen trust owns and oper-
ates 55 mills in New York, Massa-
chusetts, Kentucky, Rhode Island,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecti-
cut and Maine. In the past 10 years
earnings have been stupendous, with
stock dividend issues to spread out"
the profits. Four years ago the trust
increased its preferred stock from
$4o,ooo,Ooo to s6o,OO0,OOO and its
common stock from $2O,000,000 to
$40,000,000. Last year its net income
was S6,660,213, and it reported sur
plus of $33, 3,596,825.

epration of the more dangerous ma
chinery, which is the source of great
est industrial hazard to the young
worker.
Children of 16 and II were pro-
hibited from some employments in
Massachusetts, and Wisconsin but in
all three states were permitted to op-
crate many of the dangerous ma
chimes.
Accident figures reflected this diff
ference in legal protection. Power
working machinery caused a larger
percentage of the accidents to the 16
and II year olds than to children un-
der 16-protected by law-or to
young workers between 18 and 21-
better able to protect themselves.
Accidents were also more serious
to the 16 and II year group than to
either the younger of older workers.
Of the injuries to workers under 16,
10.7 per cent resulted in death or
partial disablement for life. For those
16 and II years old who were in
jured the rate was 1874 per cent kill
ed or permanently disabled; for the
group 1921 years the rate was 1877
per cent.

"HICH WAGE" CRY
AS Cause of Depression Is
Not Alarming Coal
Miners

Indianapolis one is fooling
the miner by telling him that the
reason for the present depression in
the coal industry is because of the
high wages he is supposedly making" !"
says Ellis Searles, editor of the Unit
ed Mine Workers Journal.
s.The miner has been too long in
the game and knows that such argu
ments are made for no other purpose
than to break down the public sup
port the union miner has been reciv-
ing.
"The efforts being made in several
of the bituminous producing states to
gull the public into believing that the
ailment in the coal industry is due to
high wages is the veriest poppy
cock. The miner is aware of this. He
knows that it is a scheme to break
his morale and to reduce his wages to
somewhere in the region of the wages
paid in the non-union fields. 1t is
merely case of increased profits for
the operator when the public starts
buying coal-and that time, by the
way, is now here.
Goal reserves are at new low lev
els because the coal-consuming pub
lie has been calling on the reserve
supply rather than buying fresh coal
The end Of such policy is in sight
and the mines are beginning to oper
and operate. Warnings have beer
issued by railroads that car short
age is imminent for next winter un.
less coal begins moving now. Oper
ators have foreseen these circum
stances and, of course, would like tt
increase their profits by hammerins
wages down.
"But union wages will not be ham
mered down and coal will be produced
under the terms of the Jacksonville
agreement, which was amicably Sc
up in a conference between operator
and miners last spring"

NON-PARTISAN
POLICY FAVOR
ED IN NEBRASKA

Hastings, Neb.-The political and
legislative programs of the A. F. of
L. were approved by the annual con-
vention of the Nebraska State FEEDER
alton of Labor.
Endorsement of the federal child
labor amendment was also recorded,
as was the state-use plan of employ
ing prisoners in the state peniten-
tiary.
The convention also favored: The
eight hour day for state employees,
amending the state compensation law
that it will conform with standard
legislation of this character, and
licensing elevator constructors and
maintenance men. The convention
withdrew it's Endorsement of publ
cation in Omaha because of it's COM
munist propaganda. Lincoln was
selected as the next convention city.

SEES FISH FAMINE

Atlantic City. - Addressing the
United States fisheries association
here, Herbert Hoover, secretary of
commerce, urged action against "blind
and reckless" destruction of fish and
shellfsh in inland waters. He point
ed out that salmon on the Atlantic
coast have disappeared as food sup
ply and they have diminished one
half on the Pacific coast. In 40 years,
he said, the sturgeon fisheries of the
great lakes have decreased 90 per
cent. The shad yield has decreased
70 per cent. In 20 years the Chesa-
peake oyster fisheries output has de-
creased SO per cent.
Mr.. Hoover pointed out that the
waters of the ocean and inland waters
are not an inexhaustible supply for
the present and for all future time.
Nothing is ineXhaustible when
matched against the mechanical gen.
ius of man." he said.

Restore Government to People
Big Issue


Big Issue
"The great question is: Can we
bring the government back to what
it was designed to be? Are the
American people strong enough to re-
possess themselves of their govern
ment? Can they defeat those special
interests or whatever you may please
to call the influences which crack the
whip in the corridors of the capitol,
swagger in the White House and con-
troll appointments to the cabinet?
''That those interests have been
doing just that is true, else we would
not have had Daugherty and we
would not have had Palmer in the
nations counsels."
Reports from leaders in touch with
all parts of the country bore out the
senator's observation of the political
trend. Representative of six states
reported reactionary senators had
been defeated in the primaries and
every candidate who had the support
of the farmer and labor votes won the
nomination.
Progressives Win Everywhere
The reactionaries defeated are Ball
(republican), Delaware; Dial (demo-
craft South Carolina; Elkins (re-
publican), West Virginia; Mccormick
(republican), Illinois; Shields (dem-
ocrat), Tennessee, and Sterling (re-
publican), South Dakota.
Progressives are already assured a
stronger group in the house of rep
resentatives, the meeting was told
While almost every progressive who
sought denomination won, sixteen re-
dictionaries were defeated.
The meeting appointed a commit
tee to coordinate the efforts of the
various groups cooperating to obtain
the election of La Toilette and
| Wheeler; push systematic financial
campaign and turn over to the inde-
pendent progressive headquarters all
the resources of organizers and
speakers the trades organizations
possess.
Every state in the Union was rep
resented at the meeting.

ANOTHER PIONEER is GONE.

Don Anton Proto, one of No
gales best known, highly re-.
spected pioneer citizens, passed
away Wednesday in Los An
geles hospital, after a long i'll
ness from cancer Of the stomach.
Don Anton, for many years
was head Of Proto Brothers
Anton and Luis-merchants of
this city, who also owued the
great Cocospera ranch of many
hundred thousand acres situated
in Sonora, Mexico.
At the time of bis death Mr..
Proto was secretary of the
Southern Arizona Power Com
pany Of this city, OF which his
nephew, Spiro Proto, is presi-
dent.
The passing of Don Anton
Proto will be deeply regretted,
especially by bis business asso
ciates and the poor of am Dos No
gales. For many ears the grand
old Greek American was like a
Patron Saint to hundreds of poor
children and grown folks too,
who each morning, gathered in
front of Proto Brothers store on
Morley avenue, to receive their
daily bread" None went away
empty handed.
The body of the dead pioneer
will arrive on today's train from
Los Angeles. The funeral will
be held tomorrow afternoon, in
torment being in the Nogales
cemetery.
To the nephews and nieces
and other relatives, who will
miss Don Anton. we extend sym

CITY PAVING PROPOSITION.


The following data on the pro-
posed paving program is sub
mitted by the Chamber of Com
merce:
There exists among some
property owners a decided mis-
understanding as to the purpose
of the bonds proposed to be vot-
ed on January Oath. Intersec-
tions of the streets at corners
cannot easily be assessed to adj
joining property and a state law
provides how the city shall pay
for the paving of these intersec-
tons. Of the 100000 bond is
sue, it is estimated that approx
mately $46, 478 will be needed to
grade and pave the intersections
on the streets that may possibly
be paved during the next two or
three years. A bond election
cannot be held to cover intersec-
ton costs when single street
is ordered paved. Bonds how
ever will only be sold in an am
cunt necessary to pave the in
tersections of the streets ordered
paved. Interest may not start
. for several years on some of the
bonds.
Also included in this one hun
dred thousand dollars is the nav
ing in front of the City Hall on
Grand avenue estimated at ST.
838; paving in front of and at
the end of the City Park on Nor
ley avenue and Park street, est.
mated at $685.; paving on two
sides of the Federal building
since the Federal government is
prevented by law from paying
paving costs in front of it's prop
; erty but does install sidewalks.
This paving will cost about ST.
SIS. The city owns a portion of
the wedge at Grand and Terrace
avenue and must do the paving
on this frontage at a probable
cost of So, 456. The item of storm
sewers, (which must be put in
prior to paving, is estimated will
cost about $l2, 376. All these
figures are outside figures. In
all cases the figures are high but
invariably special items are
found necessary that cannot be
foreseen and the amount of the
bond issue, it is thought, should
be sufficiently high SO that the
city would not later be placed in
a position of having to call an
other bond election to make up
deficits but this does not mean
that all Of the bonds need be
sold until the need arises"
