BANK RECORD SMASHES
DAWES MORAL CLAINM

Charles G. Dawes has been making
speeches. Now it is commonly under
stood that a candidate for vice pres
ident doesn't make speeches that are
out of accord with the ideas of the
candidate for president.
Dawes has been harping mainly on
two lines. He is all for respect for
law" And he is for the injunction
! judges. At the same time he has
tried to win labor support for his
ticket. But where any wage Garner
can find an excuse to support any
ticket upon which Dawes is a candi-
date must yet be discovered.
The Washington Daily News-one
of the Scripps-Howard string-has
just published an editorial about
Dawes that should be read by every
American wage Garner and by every
person to whom politics is something
more than a graft or a pastime. Here
is what this newspaper had to say
about Mr.. Charles G. Dawes-and
there is much more that remains to
be told:
at was Dawes whose bank fla
grantly violated the banking laws of
Illinois and made possible the heec-
ing of 1000 depositors.
"You may not remember the
story.
Back in 1896 Dawes worked for
Mark Hanna to line up Illinois for
Mckinley.
Mckinley, being elected, appoint
ed Dawes comptroller of currency;
that is, he was the keeper of the
conscience of all the national banks.
He was their mentor and adviser.
"Then Roosevelt became president
and Dawes went out of office.
"He started a bank in Chicago,
called the Central Trust Co.
Later Lorimer was thrown out of
the United States senate.
$50 he started a bank in Chicago,
too.
"Under the state law it is necessary
to show the state officials the cash

LABOR LEADERS,
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL
COMMITTEE EXPOSED

BY international Labor News Service
CHICAGO, Sept. 4.--Union labor
men here have been enjoying hearty
laugh over the ludicrous attempt of
the republican national committee to
show that there are '1abor leaders"
who are for Coolidge and Dawes.
William M. Butler, republican nation
al chairman, released a story here in
which he named 13 alleged labor
union officers who, he claimed, had
held a conference" at republican
national headquarters in this city and
considered ways and means of pro-
noting the Coolidge and Dawes can
didacies. Five of the 13 men are
said to be Chicago men. The others
hailed all the way from New York
City and Baltimore, Md, to Portland,
Oregon.
international Labor News Service
has developed some interesting facts
relative to the five Chicago men and
it is these facts which are causing
Chicago labor union officers to give
Chairman Butler the merry ha-ha.
Also as an offset to the republican
announcement, John Fitzpatrick,
president of the Chicago Federation
of Labor, has announced the appoint
ment of a committee of % from
among the most prominent trade
union officers Of the local labor
movement to cooperate with the ex-
ecutive committee Of the American
Federation of Labor in carrying out
the Federation's political program in
the present campaign.

Marked advances in price revival
IN sawmill products is one feature
of the general betterment in Ameri-
can trade.
The advantage for the time being
IS now with the mills and will re-
mein there unless recent demands at
better prices brings too many pro-
dueers into action.
California, usually our largest pur-
chaser of fir and pine, but for purely
local reasons a slow buyer so far this
year, is now back with healthy de-
sire for both rail and cargo ship
ments.
Prices, much weakened during the
spring and summer, are gradually
climbing as California wholesalers
find themselves in competition with
more willing Atlantic Coast buyers.

conciliation is another and more sin
lister effort to break away units of
the Amsterdam federation, particu-
larly certain unions in England.
The present status of the Moscow
Amsterdam exchange of letters is
that each side contends unity should
be on the basis of its own general
principles.
Offer to Meet Amsterdam
Moscow says to Amsterdam eff
you, comrades, consider yourself
formally bound by the resolution of
the Vienna congress, we, the Russian
unions, being section of the Red
international of Labor Unions, are
equality obliged to carry out the de-
cisions of our All-Russian Trade
Union Congresses and the congresses
of the R. l. L. u. In accordance
with this, and desiring to find a COM
mon ground for negotiations, which
in our opinion will Undoubtedly lead
to a better mutual understanding and
to a closer coming together of the
now divided international trade union
movement, we take as our starting
point the idea that in our negotia-
tons we should discuss the decisions
of both internationals on the basis of
equality and mutual attention"

approval In the original model the
portraits are almost life-size and are
speaking likenesses of both La Fol-
lette and Wheeler. From this large
model, the die for the small emblem
is accurately reduced by the marvel
lous machinery that has recently been
invented.
Medals Life-Like
The portraits in profile present an
appealing and strong Interpretation
f both men. La Toilette is there to
thG life-tense, resolute, battling
and embattled, hero of a hundred
fights, master of constructive legisla-
tion-the man who has consistently
fought for the rights of humanity
and the cherished freedom of the
American people.
Wheeler's portrait is a fine con-
ception of the mana man of action;
fearless in scourging those who seize
government to oppress and couFag-
eous in protecting those who are
dowptrodden and defenseless.
The emblems are being struck of
now by the thousands. They viii be
sent to every individual contributor
of one dollar or more to the La Fol-
lette- Wheeler campaign. The two
candidates have expressed their earn
est wish that whatever campaign
funds are needed should be raised
on the basis of a small sum from
each of their many supporters. They
have no rich friends or corporation
hackers. But in the scales of eternal
justice, the widows mite will far out
weigh the huge benefactions acquired
by vicious privilege.

LESS IMMIGRANTS ENTER

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. A.
Only 1859 persons, representing 20
nations, have been authorized to en-
ter the United States under the new
immigration law, which became eff
fective July 1, according to compila-
tions by the state department. Great
Britain and Northern Ireland head
the list with 1854. OF the principal
nations of Europe, Spain has used
the greatest percentage of the allot-
ted quotas. The Spanish quota for
the entire year is 1S1, and 81 Span
iards have received immigrant vises.

WRIT FORCES UNION
MEN TO WORK WITH
NON-UNlON LABOR

CHICAGO, Sept. 4.-The Temporal
ry injunction obtained by the firm of
which Roy o. West, secretary of the
republican national committee and
attorney for the Western Union Tele-
graph company, is a member, against
five Chicago. building trades unions,
Is without precedent in the United
States. The temporary restraining
order was issued by Judge James H.
Wilkerson of the federal district court
here. An appeal has been taken to
the United States circuit court of ap-
peals and a hearing on the case will
be had at the October term of the
latter court.
Judge Wilkerson, it will be recall
ed, is the much advertised injunction
judge" who was appointed to the
federal bench during the early part
of the Nerm Of Harry M. Daugherty
as attorney general of the United
States, and who later, at the behest
of Daugherty, issued the notorious
injunction Ngainst the railroad shop
crafts unions.
Contrary to High Court
The injunction as issued by Judge
Wilkerson is directly contrary to the
decisions of the Supreme Court of
the United States, the supreme court
of Illinois and Of the courts of prac-
tically every other state in the Union.
It strikes at the very heart of organ
lied labor in that it restrains union
worl<men from quitting work when
non-union men come on the job. If
such an injunction should be held to
be good law, then practically every
principle of organized labor is sub
ject to attack on the same ground
Unions Policy Real Issue
The bill of complaint did not charge
any acts of violence or threats Of
violence, or injury to persons or
property. The substance of the
charge was that union electri-
clans would walk off the job when
the Western Unions non-union cleo
trieians came on the job ard thst in
one instance the seven or eight other
trades also quit for one day.
The real point in contest was
whether or not the court should re-
strain the unions from enforcing their
long established policy, that they
would not work alongside of nom
union men in the same trade. The
court entered an injunction restrain
ing them from violence, threats Of
violence, damage to property, inter
ference with business, and similar
matters concerning which there was
no charge whatever in the bill of COM
plant that such acts had been COM
mitted.
There were some affidavits pre-
scented that in some half dozen in
stances, running over a period of two
years, there had been some slight
damage to the company's property,
but no one knew who had done this
damage. Only two trifiing instances
had occurred during the past ten
months, but the bill of complaint did
not make any charge of such acts
whatever.
Hope Thompson, who has been at
torney for the Chicago Carpenter To-
cal unions for the last ten years, and
who at present is an Independent
candidate for states attorney of
Cook county, is handling the case for
the unions involved.

''Your people," he said, SHOULD
take to heart the declaration of Pres
ident Samuel Gompers of the A. F.
of L. that they have burned their
bridges behind them. There is no
turning back now; you must carry
on to victory.
Must Demonstrate Power
'This is the first time in the his
tory Of the American labor movement
when it has gone wholly behind sin
gle set of candidates" he continued,
"and for that resaon it is paramount
that the union forces should put forth
every ounce Of energy to demonstrate
their power. There should be no lag
CARDS or shirkers. Every one should
enlist in the great crusade with both
personal service and financial re-
sources.
"The response so far has been mar
velous but much remains to be done,
and each and every one should show
"a willingness to do the task before
him or her, no matter how small or
how great that task may be-"
Veterans Help La Toilette
One of the most important devel-
opments in the campaign here this
week was the organization of a La
Toilette Wheeler ex servicemen's
unit. An enthusiastic crowd of ex-
servicemen, all members of the Har-
old A. Taylor post of the American
Legion, met in North Side Turner
hall and organized the Ex-Service-
mems La Toilette Wheeler club of
the Ninth congressional district, with
Joseph A. Wise, a member of Chi
cago Typographical Union No. 16, as
temporary chairman.
Preceding the organization of the
district club two ward clubs were ef-
fected.
Fight Ballot CrOOkedness
The slogan adopted by this latest
acquisition to the La Toilette Wheel
er forces was zone thousand ex-serv-
icement to guard the 200 crooked pre-
cincts." Those familiar with the in
side of politics here claim that Chi
|cago has 200 precincts where corrup-
tion is prevalent at every election.
The ex-servicemen feel that it is their
job to look after this feature and see
to it that La Toilette and Wheeler
get a square count.
1t is the purpose to detail three ex-
servicemen to each of these alleged
crooked precincts( one of the men to
watch inside the polls, while two are
outside. That will take 900 men. The
remaining 400 men will be used as
reserves for relief work.

down to his children a priceless me-

 The record-breaking feat by Zuna was remarkable. The race was run over . hard course laid out in rolling country and for large part of the grind a strong wind blew directly in- to the faces of the contestants.

Dempsey Has
 Made Million
 In 40 Rounds
Costs Fight Fans $8.000 a Minute To See Champion
 In Action

<. NEW YORK, March S-In six fights. including the one in which he won the championship from Jess Will lHrd, Jack Dempsey has toiIed at his trade 70 official rounds since 1919, in return for which he has received, roughly speaking, $1.ooO,0oO in pay alone, aside from all the incidental profits. In seven fights since he was a bottlewaSher in a Buenos Aires drug store, Luis Angelo Firpo has fought 26 official rounds. His pay has not been as large as Dempsey's but neith- or Is he as good a fighter as Jack. Jack However he has been paid about $40O,- 900 for his American fights, from which 1t will be seen that a glimpse of either Dempsey or Firpo at work Is a 12- pound look at as bargain price.

Bennie Leonard and Lefty Lewis Tendler have been very expensive help to have around the place these last few years. Dempsey's, hire foots up at about $e,- 900 a minute and the, price Is main tained by two things, his fncompara- bie proficiency at the trade and the infreQuency of his shows. As there are at least 1000 men in this world who, want to see Dempsey or Firpo in a fight for every seat at one of those exhibitions. the productions naturally come high. like eggs in a hard winter, six-room flats in a crowded town, or money from a bank in panic season.
 In these bouts, Dempsey has in- cured; S@ < S
 One right smash over the heart from Willard; one right straight to the chin from Carpenter; one damaged car from Bill Brennan; one flying fall from Firpo; miscellaneous small clips on the teeth from Gibbons.
 Although most citizens would not wish to assume these things, even at the price that Dempsey got for taking them, the fact remains that he gets 2, lot of money to buy salve for such few abrasions as he suffers in the ring. . Personally, he has been a far more ornamental. graceful. faithful. friendly and mannerly man than any other champion and inoomparabiy preferable to Ftrpo, especially since the.
