Congressman Defeat Privilege

Washington, April 26.-Ihe house OF representatives
blazed new path this week when 15i members signed
petition that the Barkley railroad bill be taken from the
committee on interstate and foreign commerce and be
placed on the house calendar.
The bill is intended to abolish the railroad labor board
and substitute a system of mediation and arbitration. 1t
favored by the trade unions and the railroad brother
hoods.
The request of the 154 members makes history 1t is
the first time bill has been taken from committee in
this manner and is the result of opposition to the election
of Speaker Ge when the present congress was being
organized At that time coalition of nsurgent Repub
cans and the Democratic members forced the majority to
agree to a change in the rules condition for permit
ting the majority to organize the house The most mpor
tant of these changes provide that bill may be taken
from committee and placed on the house calendar ON
petition of $50 members This is the rule that now be-
ing enforced.
By controlling certain committees special privilege
has practically dictated legislation because these com
mtees would bury" bills dstaseful to them In the
of the Barley railroad bill friends of this proposed egis
laon were denied hearing by the committee chairman
The new rule destroys this czarism, which has been
used with such deadly effect to block progressive legisa
ton The old guard in both parties worried at the
turn of affairs important power is wrested from
them.

COUNCIL WILL BE
HARD PRESSED TO
MEET EXPENSES

The Champaign city commissioners
are already beginning to feel the ef
feet of the loss of finance resulting
from the law tax valuation placed on
Champaign property in 1928. Where
the funds will come from to pay all
the bills that are sure to accrue the
commissioners do not know.
There appears to be no way to off
set the error in failing to make
proper valuation. In 1921 the valua-
ton of Champaign property was ST.
sol ,302; in 1922, $7,491 GIL; in 1923.
$7,480, ,603. Commissioners state that
the valuation should have been at least
$500, 900 higher in 1928 than in 1921,
taking into consideration the phenom-
email rise in property values and the
value of additional improvements
which is conservatively placed at ST.
500, 900.
New additions to the city requiring
the laying out of new streets, the ad-
ditional cost of maintaining the light
ing system, which has been increased
nearly $4,000 by the construction of
the Central District Lighting System,
the installation of approximately 30
new fire hydrants and other increases
in the general expense, have resulted
in a much larger overhead than the
council had to meet in 1921 and 1877.

plea for a white America on the floor
of the senate:
let the Japanese people and the
Japanese government understand that
there is no mfriendly feeling ON our
part in what we do. Let them know
that there is no question of inferiority
involved. We, however, do not live as
they do, we do not think as they do,
we do not love as they do. and We do
not worship as they do. We wnat To
live our own lives in our own way.
Their ways are not our ways; their
thoughts are not our thoughts. Their
lives are not lived as we live ours.
Their ideas of government and of re-
ligion are different from ours. 1t is
not best for them and it is not best
for us that the two races should seek
to live together. So, Mr.. President,
all we want is to recognize this un-
surmountable fact
"The japanese nation and people are
Il great people and a great nation, and
they know that it is one of the funda-
mental attributes of sovereignty and
of nation to decide for itself what
people shall come to its shores and
what people shall not come 1t has that
right. If it sees fit to say that we can
not come there, | have no question to
make in regard to it; and SO they must
recognize, as am satisfied they will
recognize, that in passing this law, we
are doing only what every nation for
the preservation of its own life has the
right to do-say what people shall come
to its shores and what people shall not.
"And when we do it they have no
right or reason to object, and they have
no cause for resentment or otfense."

No Oriental Immigrants Allowed;
Japan's u. S. Friends Are Angry

Washington, April 26.-Because con-
greSS has debarred Oriental immi-
grants, some American citizens are
actually apologizing to the Japanese
instead of defending congress. Japan
nnds America its best customer. Ameri-
ca buys more Japanese silk than all the
rest of the world combined, and also
buys Its rice, tea and other commodi-
ties, yet apologetic Americans are
alarmed over Japan's diplomatic bluffs
when its colonization scheme is
checked.
The immigration bill not only debars
japanese, but all other Orientals, be-
cause these peoples are ineligible to
citizenship. This includes Koreans,
Chinese, Hindus and all other Orien-
tai clause of the immigration act, and
its friends in America, from whom
Japan buys goods, are creating the im-
preston that that country is a super
sensitive nation. Japan is accorded the
same treatment that other Oriental
nations receive, yet no mention is made
of the "honor" of Korea or China.
Neither is mention made of the ''honor"
of America, who is asked to give Japan
special consideration because that
country is rich and powerful.
From the standpoint of internation-
al law, America has the unquestioned
right to debar Orientals. Japan exer-
cises that right and at the present
time debars Koreans for the same rea-.
son that America debars japanese. No
one censures Japan for such action,
which is the right of every nation.
The public morality of japanese ex-
clusion was we'll stated by Senator
Jones of Washington, who made this

w0RK OF ST. LOUIS UNION
isTs BRINGS EVER GROWING
demand FOR UNION LABEL

from 81 to $50 per month (according
to their financial condition) for the
upkeep of the League. and from
month to month more organizations
are lining up. The League has now
5000 people signed to pledge cards
to purchase only union labeled mer-
chandise, and the forty-four unions
mentioned above have passed what is
known as compulsory label laws"
requiring their members to have at
least six union labels on their wear
ing apparel.
Recognizing the wonderful posi-
bilities of an organization of this sort
one of our fair manufacturers was
instrumental in starting similar or
ganizations in Louisville and in
Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Label
Trades Department of the A. +. of l..
also becoming interested has decided
to do all in its power to form ma
tional organization, with branch in
every city If possible.
While we have as yet merely
scratched the surface it can plainly
be seen what the possibilities may be
of an organization of this sort, and
we are firmly convinced that it is one
of the best moves that organized labor
can make.
We now have more than twenty
garages displaying union card and
at the inception of the League there
were none. Practically every other
trade is benefited in like proportion.

the demand for labeled merchandise
would increase the number of firms
or the number of articles bearing the
label on the market and decrease in
the same proportion those not bear
Ing the label, with a view towards or
ganizing different establishments
through this demand, and the results
are everything that could have been
expected. =
In the eaes of the printing trades
the number of union shops since the
inception of the league have in
creased from one hundred and five
to one hundred and sixty-five. An
other instance is that of the retail
meat markets, the league placing a
union meat market card in one hum
dred and thirty-five meat markets in
a six months campaign. At the in
eeptiOn Of the league there were eight
shoe factories in st. Louis using the
union label and there are now four

The league itself is responsible for
thre new federal unions, the coffee
workers union Of st. Louis, the bank
clerks union of st. Louis and the
bookkeepers' and office assistants
union Of St. Louis, and will undoubt-
edIy in the very near future add at
least one, and possibly two new
unions to that list.
In September, 1921, it was very
difficult to secure decent merchandise
with the union label. Today in every
dlstnet in the city there are at least
Two or three establishments where
practically any article with the union
label can be obtained.
