WHO SAYS THEY DON'T TIE UP?

One o. M Ke writing in the Hearst papers from Dallas,
Texas soemny declares that Texas farmers simply won't site
up" with labor.
Kle writes nice little piece" but it has big flaw e..
the assertion that Texas farmers and labor do not cooperate
The only trouble with this statement is that it isn't true
In with the farmers and city workers of other states
Texas farmers and labor do not e up independent pot
cal party which to be the point that the Hearst
sponden trying to make They have found that effective
results obtained by nonparsan political action working
through the existing parties for the election of who will
stand for the interests of the producers This the policy of the
American Federation of Labor and it policy which has stood
the test of time
But the Texas city cooperate the
most effective kind of political and action glance
through the biennial of the Joint FarmLabor Legislative
Conference of Texas this beyond doubt The Confer
which composed of representatives of the Farm Labor
Union of America the Railroad Broherhoods and the Texas
State Federation of Labor worked tremendously throughout the
recent session of the Texas Legislature supporting legislation
favorable the famabo forces of Texas and fighting ega
ton that unfavorabe
Cooperation legislative matters is not the only e up"
between Texas farmers and labor They work together to elect
genuine progressves to office they cooperate in various
matters An example the splendid support given the
striking railroad shopmen of Texas by the farmers who supplied
the families of the strikers with food giving aid that largely
instrumental in enabling the workers winning fight
In the face of these facts known all who familiar with
Texas conditions what becomes of the Hearst mans assertion
that 1.-The farmer simply does not like the idea definite p
with organized labor Our guess that his assertion left
without leg to stand on.

The bricklayers and engineers know
that as long IS nOn-unionists are
working over them, there is an ex-
cellent chance Of being hit by falling
iron and being taken to the hospital
or the morgue. So they have de-
clined to continue to work on jobs
where their lives are endangered.
Presumably they will not return to
work until the non-unionists are re-
placed by union men, who have prov
ed their skill and competency on many
a difficult and dangerous job.
The course taken by the briclSlay-
ers and engineers was the only one
open to men whose sole wealth is
their labor power and whose families
face misery and starvation when they
are deprived of the use of their la
Dor power by accident or death. It
is a course that should be emulated
by workers in every trade whose lives
are menaced by incompetent non
unionists.
The far-reaching effects of the
work Of the international Labor Of
flee. in which, unfortunately, the
United States is not taking a part,
is shown by its success in helping
child workers of Persia.
Some time ago the International
Labor Office made friendly represent
tations to the Persian government
regarding conditions under which
women and children were employed
in the carpet weaving industry in
Herman and adjacent villages. Chill
dren began work at the age of four
or five at the carpet weaving looms,
working long hours in very unsani-
tarv surroundings. In many instances
children became cripples for life
from sitting many hours each day,
crouched over the loom. Following
the representations of the Labor Of
flee steps were taken to temporarily
remedy the conditions pending more
definite measures.
The Labor Office now learns that
in accordance with the decision Of the
Persian government, the governor of
the Province of Herman has issued a
decree which confirms and in some re-
spects extends the measures previ-
ously applied.
The decree provides a maximum
working day of eight hours, holidays
with pay on Fridays and festive
days, a minimum age for boys of
eight years and for girls of ten years,
separate working places for boys and
girls with proper supervision, prohi-
bition of the employment of persons
suffering from contagious diseases,
prohibition of unsanitary workshops
and unhealthy conditions in the shop,
and monthly sanitary inspection of
shops. The police authorities are in
structed to enforce these require
ments, any infringement of which is
punishable with fine and imprison-
ment.

This is hard fact: Any compromise
with the Reds is a victory for the
Reds. Some folks who didn't believe
that before the St. Paul convention
are known to believe it now.

Commissioner Shientag refused to
approve the certificate, pointing out
that the contractor could, if necessary
employ workers "a hours day on the
job by establishing three shifts of
eight hours each and thus employ
more workers now unemployed.
The commissioners decision was
strictly in accord with the best inter-
ests of public policy. Authorities in
other states might well be guided by
it in passing on requests similar to
the one on which Commissioner
Shientag made his decision.
Zinovieff, chairman of the fifth
congress of the Third or "Red" Inter-
rationale, has made a discovery.
He announced at the congress that
with the exception of Russia, mem
bership in the Communist party in
the various countries of the world
is dropping. He admitted that the
party membership in the United
States had dropped from 10000 to
5000, while in England it decreased
from 10000 to 5000 and in Germany
from 100000 to 100000. He quoted
figures from South American coun-
tries equally disappointing to Com
munist hopes.
Zinovieff is finding out that the
Reds can fool all the workers all of
the time, a job that they apparently
thought was easy. When the toilers
realize what Communist means, none
but an infinitesimal number will have
anything to do with it. They have
seen what Russia has endured under
"Red" rule and they do not want to
have the Russian experiment tried
upon them. Hence the dwindIing
Communist parties.

HOT PENNANT RACE
IN COUNTY LEAGUE

With but two more games each to
play. Rockville. Boyds and Bethesda
are having real fight for champion
ship honors in the Montgomery
County Base Ball League.
Rockville is now in the lead with
a one-game margin over Boyds and
Bethesda, which are tied for second
place.
Saturday afternoon Rockville and
Boyds play at Rockville. while
Bethesda hooks up with Glen Echo
at Glen Echo. Should Boyds win from
Rockville, which is considered
among the possibilities, a triple tie
would probably result. as Bethesda
figures to defeat Glen Echo, although
the boys from the banks of the Poto-
mac have recently been going at a
lively rate.
The final games of the season are
scheduled for the afternoon of Sat-
urday. September 20, when Washing
ton Grove and Rockville play at
Rockville, Tickerson and Bethesda at
Bethesda and Boyds and Glen Echo
at Boyds.. Should Rockville lose this
weeks game the close of the regular
season would probably find Rockville,
Boyds and Bethesda tied for first
place. in which event a special series
would be arranged to determine the
pennant winner. If, however, Rock
willie wins Saturday, the boys from
the county seat are assured of their
second successive pennant.
The closeness of the contest has
the fans all "het" up, and the re-
naming games are expected to at
tract large crowds.

newcomer for two baser and Rice
slammed to center for a single, tally
ing his manager with the fifth run of
the frame. Meeker then stopped the
slaughter for the inning. but was
nicked for run in the next.
Bluege singled and so did Peck.
Shirley chased Bluege home with a
wallop to left, but Peck pulled up at
second, Mogridge, trying to sacri-
flee. foul-bunted a third strike. Nc
Neely then put up a pop that Dykes
deliberately trapped, then threw to
Galloway. Peck had not moved from
second nor Shirley from first but the
umpires ruled it was not an infield
hy, as claimed by the Bucks, and de-
clared Shirley froced out by the play.
Harris loft to Simmons ended the
rally.
Thereafter Meeker pitched in ex-
cellent form. The Bucks got but
each of the last three innings. But
Mogridge, who had been reached for
a run in the second session, when
Simmons doubled, and, following
Dykes loft to Rice, Galloway singled
and Perkins doubled, got into more
trouble in the sixth. With one gone
Dykes singled and Galloway tripled.
Perkins retirement enabled Gallo
way to count.
Mogridge's worst frame was the ninth
though. Welch batted for Meeke
and began the inning with a single
to right. He moved to second when
Hale lined a one-baser to center. An
odd break that followed helped the
Bucks. Lamar slammed the ball to
right and it seemed for a moment
that Rice might make a catch, so
both Welch and Hale stepped off
their bases only a few yards.
But the sphere hit the wall above
Rice's head and rebounded to the
field with Sam in pursuit. Welch
managed to score, but Hale just beat
Rice's heave to second, and the sur
prised Lamar, who had crossed first
base, had to dash back to it.
Miller sacrificed and Hauser
walked, filing the bases. Here Har-
