Letter From Ruth Burke to Leslie
Prescott
! have to tell you, dear the most
surprising thing that has happened.
You will forgive me, ! am sure
when | have finished, for breaking
in upon you in this way, for with
your sorrow and all the changes you
are making in your life am sure
that you have enough to occupy you,
attention. My excuse for troubling
you is that what have to say may
help you out some.
This morning young woman yer!
wcll-bred, very well-dressed and very
pretty came to see me.
She was perfect stranger. Indeed
she spoke with slight accent. al
though she looked American. She
was very much frightened and
gathered that great part of hcl
fright was occasioned by me.

LABOR MAKES
CLEAR GAIN
IN CONGRESS
BY William English Walling

Mr.. Walling, noted author,
economist and political authority,
has made an analysis Of the con-
gresional returns especially for
International Labor News Service
and this newspaper and presents
the following conclusions.
The complete returns for the con-
gressional election are now in. In the
statement of Republican figures from
the New York Tribune we find 242
Republican Congressman out of 435.
OF these exactly 40 are elected with
progressive and labor edorsements.
These 40 hold the balance of power,
Added to the 1SS Democrats and five
Farmer Laborites and Independents,
they control Congress.
In a desperate effort to hide their
loss of the election in Congress, re-
dictionary Republican and Democratic
have stated that the Re
publican Progressiyes number only l6
or II. This statement is utterly with
out foundation.
Labor and its progressive allies
have gained more Democratic and in
votes than they have lost

in Republican votes. Republican Pro
gressives in Congress have fallen
from SO to 40. Progressive Democrat
have increased in number from 105 to
127. Socialists and Farmer-Laborite,
have increased from to 5. As a re-
suit labor has III Congressman in
stead of 10 as in the previous cleo
ton.
Not only have the Progressive
tightened their hold on Congress, but
they have put the Democratic Party
in the third place in ten states, La
Toilette beats Democrats in Califor-
MIA, Iowa, Minnesota Montana, Ne
yada, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
In some of these states the Demo
cratic Party has practically disap-
peared.
These results constitute a victory
for labor in view of the fact that both
of the old parties had been captured
by the reactionaries. Such victories
in the face Of these well-established
powerful machines constitute a re-
markable and unparalleled achieve
ment. With such results behind IT,.
labor can look forward with absolute
confidence 10 the future The re-
actionaries never had a better hope
Of controlling Congress than they had
in this election. There is practically
no chance that the will ever regain
their control.

PROGRESSIVE
THOUGHT Is
VICTORIOUS

By the time this issue reaches cur
readers one of the most brlli0ut poll
tical campaigns in American history
Will have ended. A nation wearied Of
time-worn, superficial issues of ne
two old parties has been inspired By
the vital social and economic issues
projected into the campaign by the
Progressive movement. Long deprived
by boss controlled parties Of an op-
portunity to vote for candidates anu
issues other than those acceptable 70
our political deSpotS, the people in
this campaign were enabled 10 eN-
pres a preference as between govern
ment by, of, and for the privileged
interests and government by, Of, and
for the people themselves.
The real issue in America. the issue
which politicians have obscured in a
haze Of dead and unessenual issues,
were brought cut into the light of in
quiry and discussion. The encroaeh-
ment Of the privileged few upon The
rights of the many, the power of the
private monopoly system over the
political and economic life of the peo-
pie, war and peace, the rights of or
ganized labor, the problems Of agri-
culture, the evils of the courts, the in
junction, public ownership of natural
resources-thoSe issues that are close
to the life and labor of the American
people formed the basis Of the Pro
gressive campaign.
This campaign has been worth to
the Progressive movement in America
a hundred times all the effort, all the
devotion and all the money that has
been put into it. The Progressive
campaign has awakened scores OF
thousands to their civic responsible
ties. 1t has made people think about
the problems that affect their lives.
1t has inspired them to do noble
work. 1t has enriched their lives. The
moral and intellectual value of the
campaign is inestimable.
The good influence of the campaign
on organized labor, we believe, can
not be overestimated either. The in
dorsement by labor of the Progressive
candidates and the splendid support
it has given to the campaign has won
the admiration of every forward-look-
ing man and woman. The self-saerl-
ficing devotion of the rank and file Of
labor in this campaign has been an
inspiration. Prompted by no selfish
motive, actuated only bv a desire for
new deal in government the workers
contributed unsparingly Of their time
and energy. Working together in this
great cause new bonds of unity were
forged among them which will
strengthen the labor movement. So
universally loved by trade unionists is
Robert NJ. LaFollette that there has
, been no bitterness in this campaign
among the members of organized
labor who supported him and those
who still adhered to the old parties.
Whether the election is won or not
the forces of nrogress are victorious.

COMMUNITY CHEST
NOW READY TO
LAUNCH CAMPAIGN

The community chest organization
within the last week has so perfected
its organization as to be In readiness
to launch its campaign for funds the
first of December. -.
This is one of the most laudible
movements in the history of the Twin
Cities. 1t covers field that is un-
questionably one of the most import
aht in the city. There is 80 reason
whatever to object to the plan and
work of the committee. Its aims are
worthy, and its motives cannot be
questioned.
f. S. Swigart, who has charge of
the publicity, is one of the leading
men in the movement. He has had
wide experience in charitable work
and is fully capable of conducting the
publicity campaign in the interest of
the light charities that are associated
in the movement.
The Twin City Federation of Labor
has been accorded special recognition
on the board of trustees of the Com
mupnity chest and deserves a place Of
prominence in view of the charitable

The campaign is scheduled to start
early in December. 1t will be conduct
ed by men who have an eye to busi-
ness, and who devote their time
freely to the work. The aim is 10
raise $4,000 which will be divided
between eight charities of the city.
This is a small amount when COM
pared to the tax valuation of property
in both cities and to the population.
Other cities ask a per capita assess
ment of from $1.50 to $500. The
apporiionment of the charitable work
in this sty means only SIPS per
capita. 3"
Union Labor has been asked espe-
claIy to devote a part of its earn
ings to this cause.
