say7 Why, man, type big enough
to bawl the stuffin's out of the mayor
and police department wouldn't have
been obtainable The Miami Sign
Company would have been asked to
release and cancel all leases on its
signboards that they might be used
to inform the "dear" public of the
inefficiency of its public servants
that is, this would have been done if
the crime wave had broken loose just
before the recent election. AS stated
before, no complaint is being made
of the police department; the officers
can't be at every spot where and when
crime is committed, but events in the
early part of this week only go to
show that crime is likely to break
loose under any administration, no
matter what its political complexion,
and the arrest of few boot-leggers,
moonshiners, gamblers and the break
ing up of harmless card games, her
aided to the world, will not stop it.
Day by day, in every way, we learn
more and more!

A BIG FORWARD STEP

Charges that organized labor will
not work in cooperation with the
railroads are given a knockout blow
by the success of the union plan now
in operation on the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad
For several months the shops of the
Baltimore & Ohio have been operating
under cooperative agreement be-
tween the International Association
of Machinists and other shop craft
uninos and the officials of the rail-
road company. The spirit of the
agreement is we'll illustrated by the
preamble of the contract, which says:
~'The welfare of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad and it's employees is de-
pendent on the service which the rail
road renders the public. Improve.
ments in this service and economies
in operating and maintenance ex,
penses result chiefly from willing CO.
operation between the railroad man
agement and the voluntary organiza
tions of its employees. When the
groups responsible for better service
and greater efficiency share fairly IL
the benefits which follow their joint
efforts improvement in the conduct OF
the railroad are greatly encouraged
The parties to this agreement recog.
nize the foregoing principles anc
agree to be governed by them in their
relations"
The B. & o. plan is unique because
it provides that the employees give
technical advisory service to decrease
operating costs and increase efficiency
in the service of the public. That II
is big step forward is recognized by

ANOTHER HELP FOR LABOR

Ever alert to make organized labor
more efficient, the American Fedora
ton of Labor has established legal
| information bureau for the dissem-
ination of legal information. The
| first work of the new bureau is bull
letin which takes up recent legal de.
cisions treating of contempt of court
| the right to picket and other subjects
of tremendous importance to trade
union members.
| In these days of constant infringe
ment by the judiciary on the functions
of law-making and law-enforcine
bodies, it is of great Importance that
| labor organizations and individual
| members of trade unions should be
fully informed as to legal decisions
affecting their organizations. 1t is
| the purpose of the legal information
bureau to supply just such informa-
ton, with appropriate comment and
Interpretation, for the guidance and
| instruction of all labor organizations
The information will be given out in
| bulletin form, not at any stated time
but as circumstances permit or occa.
sionn demands.
Labor men and women will do well
| to pay close attention to the informa.
tion sent out by the legal information
bureau. As industrial conditions
grow more complex, it is increasingly
important that the workers become
thoroughly informed on all matters
affecting their organizations and
their work. Anything that helps them
to gain better knowledge of the law
as it affects industry and the workers
is worthy of the hearty support of
organized labor, and it is hoped that
the strongest kind Of backing and en-
ceuragement will be given the legal
information bureau
That the bureau is under the direc-
ton of Matthew Woll, who is too we'll
known to organized labor to need any
introduction, is a guarantee that it
will be conducted to give the most in
value and in service

HIGH WAGES KEEP WHEELS
TURNING

In it's business review for January
the Fourth Federal Reserve Bank
says one of the decidedly important
factors" for widespread confidence in
the future is "the legitimate demands
of prosperous and well-employed
people"
In it's last annual report the federal
reserve board expressed similar
views: That increased earnings of
factory workers and larger incomes
of farmers furnished the buying
power to absorb the years increased
output of goods"
These sentiments should be recalled
by so-called "molders of public opin-
ion' who exult at the prospect of
every wage reduction.
They ignore the A. B. C..'s of sound
economics: That the purchasing
power of people creates employ
ment, and only well--paid workers
possess purchasing power.
The distressing influence of wage
cut is felt beyond the boundaries OF
that special community. This coun'
try consumes practically all of it:
products, and yet there are people tt
be fed, clothed and housed. Less thar
10 per cent of the nations products
are exported.
/ Every wage cut reduces the power
to buy. This creates idleness and thi!
in turn lowers the purchasing power
of others and creates more idleness
1t is like, several ten pins lined VI
one behind the other-when the frs
one is hit, the others fall.
! Trade unionists should incessently
urge the value of high wages mo-
only to workers, but to the country
as whole.

CHILD LABOR

In it's call for the observance of
Child Labor Day the national child
labor committee says:
"Ihe census of 1920 showed 1,060,-
858 children between 10 and Is at
work in the United States. But that
figure would be a mild statement for
the conditions existing right now
The 1920 census was taken while the
federal child labor tax law, which
materially restricted the employment
of child labor in every state in the
union, was in effect But in 1922
that federal law was declared uncon-
stitutional by the supreme court and
the regulation of child labor was
thrown back entirely upon the con-
sciences of the individual states.
"The result is a mass of forty
eight different child labor codes in
this country, having little relation to
each other. And more than that, the
result is definite increase in the
number of children employed III all
parts of the nation. now that the fed
eral ban no longer exists. Children
who should be in school are working
in factories, on industrial farms, in

1PRESSMEN AND CONTRACTS
Union pressmen have emphatically
reaffirmed their stand for the sane
tity of contractsf fand fair dealing with
employers.
This is the conclusion that is rightly
drawn from the action of the Inter-
national Printing Pressmen and AS
sistants' Union of North America
in renominating the present admins
tration headed by George l.. Berry,
who will go into the general election
in February without opposition.
President Berry is quoted as saying
he regarded the result as a complete
endorsement of the position he took
in the unauthorized strike of press
men in New York city.
"There can be no other conclusion
drawn from the action Of the several
hundred subordinate unions," he said,
"than a complete and unreserved in
dorsement of the action of my col
leagues and myself in upholding the
integrity of contracts as demonstrat-
ed in the New York newspaper stu
alton, and the extension of our eleven
years of effort in the promotion of
technical trade education and schools
and the building up of practical,
responsive and intelligent system OF
apprenticeship"

determination Of the Smith
crowd not to have McAdoo. re-
suited in his defeat. We see no
reason for praising Smith for his
quick congratulation and offer of
support to the successful nominee
Mr.. Davis-because Mr.. Smith
evidently gained all he desired
and expected-the defeat Of Mr..
McAdoo. When a person has
reached the goal of being able
to fill the great office of presi-
dent of the United States it is
only patural that he should like
10 be elected. And being ma
jority choice and then lose after
a second attempt would make
most men give consideration a
day or two before issuing a state
ment.
A lot of flowery oratory and
loud hollering about support just
after a mans nomination may
not mean nearly as much as a
statement after calm delibera-
ton.
We believe Mr.. McAdoo, who is
an able man, has taken his defeat
in a gentlemanly manner and
with credit TO himself.

Mr.. Dairyman, be made to stand
the loss? What right has this
government to appraise the value
of one cow, or of one mans COW,
or of one herd, if it does not ap-
praise the value of all the cows
and herds? For instance: the
farmer who had 80 head con-
demned, should he be made the
goat simply because he was will
ing to aid the government in the
work of eradication, has it come
down to such a level? Let the
government replace COW for
COW, of equal or better quality,
if not then pay the man what
the COW is worth to him. and not
what she is worth to the apprais-
er. Because if that man has to
buy 80 cows on the open market,
it is up to him to pay what the
other man is willing to sell for.
1t is very unfair and tends to
penalize an honest man. The
proper and only just method is
for the government to replace
COW for COW. And test all herds
without any signing, compulsion
or other distasteful method. To
my mind the whole procedure
is the rankest kind of oppression,
unjust, unnecessary and UNI
founded. Nothing at all is being
said or done relative to ciga-
rettes, moonshine, autos and
birth control, which same take
a terrible toll of life yearly, to
say nothing about doctors them
selves.
Yes, Mr.. Jensen, | will gladly
drink the milk from an affected
COW, providing she has the gener-
al appearances of good health, if
not would not want to eat the
meat either. You're some boost
er, bit too self assertive.
Very truly,
Gottlieb Vogel.

ASKOv GETS PUBLICITY

John A. Monger. a Northwest
newspaper man who was in
Askov three weeks ago and spent
three days gathering information
concerning this community wrote
a page on Askov which was pub
lished in the Duluth Herald Mon
day. July Ia.
The length Of the article and
all the information il contains
concerning activities here since
colonization as a Danish settle
ment back in 1906 shows that
Mr.. Monger has spent no little
time and energy in its. makeup.
The page is also illustrated with
a number of cuts.
The article is written interest
ingly and in a very optimistic
vein, Mr.. Monger predicting that
Askov is destined to be city Of
from 5000 to 5000 inhabitants.
We hope that he is right for il is
interesting TO live in a growing
community. That Askov will
grow there is no doubt about be-
cause there is a class Of workers
here who want to get ahead and
in time the fruits of labor show.
But IL we are TO have n city Of
from 5000 to 5000 that may be
debatable. That would naturally
mean great and extensive devel-
opment of the surrounding farm
ing country. Duluth will, before
many years have passed, be an
ocean port and il may be that Mr..
Monger figures that that will add
materially to the development of
all communities within a radius
Of 80 niles from Duluth.
The article as published in the
Herald gets wide publicity be-
ing read extensively in homes of
four Northwest states and may
be the means of directing land
seekers to this vicinity. One
thing is certain it calls their at
tention TO this community and
that may result in further devel-
opment.

MIR. McADOO CALM

The Duluth Herald says that
Mr.. McAdoo is not very good
loser and mo doubt he is deeply
stung by his second defeat for
the presidency, but that does not
make his reluctance to announce
his support Of the victor look
any more graceful"
Mr., MeAdoo was the strongest
contender for the presidential
nomination at the Democratic
convention more delegates be-
ing lined up on his side than for
any other candidate. The system
of a two-thirds vote necessary for
nomination combined with the

petition from the village council
with a letter of explanation
caused the Great Northern Rail
way Company to acquiesce in not
granting any sites for warehouses
on the new industry track nearer
than $50 feet to either side of
the crossing. The main object in
asking this was to maintain a
good view of oncoming trains
and it will also add to the APP

Editor Askov American:
Yes folks do sign those T. B.
contracts and be quick about it,
before we all die. | have been
among mich cows for over 20
years and have been drinking
enormous amounts Of milk and
cream for the past 10 years and
it would be too bad if I'd die now,
and the doctor would accuse my
dearly beloved bessie of having
killed me. Some of those college
graduates do get terribly worried
about what is going to happen to
our kiddies if they drink milk
from the GOOD bessie, but they
go right on stepping on the gas,
and kill more people, kill them
really dead, than the milk from
all the cows in all the world ever
did from the beginning of time
until now. The pool hall, cigar
cites. moonshine. and moral de-
hatchery has more annual T. B.
victims than all the milk from all
the cows in all the world ever
will. God created the plan of
nourishing the young with milk,
and God did not and never will
allow milk to be unfit for nourish-
ment, while the flesh is fit for
food. If he did, there would now
be no humans in existence. Even
married couples who go into we'd
lock, destroy more lives than our
greatest friend, the lowly cow.
but you call it birth control, and
think you're awful nice.
But granted that Mr.. Jensen is
justified in trying to brighten
you into signing, because some
college graduate says SOY what
right have they to destroy your
cattle, aren't they your cattle?
You and your family have been
among your cows all the time,
you drink the milk, use the
cream, churn and make your own
butter, and now some scientific
doctor comes along and accuses
your COW of killing, Tor rather.
Of having been the cause of |
some one way down in Hellsing-
fors. Our calves suck these |
COWS, we slaughter them and eat |
The meat, if the milk imparts 7. |
B. to your flesh. would it not al
50 appear to do likewise to the |
.alves' flesh? The condemned |
low is shipped to slaughter, the
affected parts are cut away, and
you pay twenty to thirty cents
for the balance. However, al
though | could write very much |
more, the sticker of the whole |
situation is-Why should you,
