(From Labor Day Address Deliver ed at Columbus, Ohio, by John F. Frey, Editor The Holders Journal)
 Wherever Trade-unionists are ga- thered this first Monday of September they are celebrating the fortieth ami versary of the day officially set aside by the American Federation of Labor in 1884 as labor's holiday Since then 1t has become a National holiday through Congressional action, so that in broad CT sense the nation joins with us.
 It is appropriate that the people, as a whole, should celebrate this day with us, for no movement has accomplished more for the nations general welfare than our own. It was through our ini itiative and efforts that our free public school system was established and de- veloped. It is due primarily and prin- cipally to our efforts that children are found i'll the school room instead of the shop, the mine and the factory It is because of our endeavors that their mo thers were protected by necessary laws, so that when employed in industry their labor would not be permitted to injure them physically or morally As result of our determination that justice should be done to wage earners injured in i'm dustry, the great majority of states have enacted workmen's compensation laws, the best of which as the Ameri- can Federation of Labor has officially declared time and time again being our Ohio law.
 As result of our direct influence within industry itself, and our success in securing legislation, the American wage earners enjoy a protection and a standard of living immeasurably in ad- vance of forty years ago. We have seen the hours of labor change from sunrise to sunset, to 10 hours to 9 hours, until etoday 8 hours has becomef the rule We have seen labor develop the methods of democracy in industry to an extent which enables millions of trade-union- ists to jointly enter into agreements with their employers which establish the terms of employment and the conditions of labor.
 As trade-unionists we have been guild ed by the principle of our American in

By International Labor News Service. Washington, D. C., Sept 13.-At- l tempts to revive the myth that repre- sents President Coolidge as having act ed with great determination and firm ness" at the time of the Boston police strike amuse those who are familiar with Coolidge's real action during the strike.
 l Far from acting with "firmness', Coo 1idge, who was then Goverrior of Mas sachusetts, waited until the crisis was over before taking a definite stand, This was revealed by the report of d Boston citizens committee, which found that Gov. Coolidge had taken no step until the strike had been settled. Then, and then only, he came forth with a Aamboyant proclamation denouncing the strikers.
 The citizens eomrnittee of Boston, composed of the most important busi- ness men, bankers and professional men, and belonging largely to the Re publican party reported;
 By Thursday morning, September II, order had been generally restored in the city. On Thursday afternoon, Sep tenber II, Gov Coolidge assumed con trol of the situation, as indicated by his proclamation of that day."
 Before reaching this conclusion the citizens committee made a complete l chronological record of every phase of the strike from the time it was first threatened, on August 2, 1919, to the settlement on the morning of Septem- l Der II.
 1 The governor of Massachusetts con trols the Boston police force through | his power to appoint the police com missioner.
 From August 2 to September } Gov ernor Coolidge manifested no interest l in the strike situation. A committee of citizens, working in conjunction with Mayor Peters, had attempted to nego- tiate with the governor through his ap- pointee, Commissioner Curtis, but with out success
 F1nally, SeptenDeT the commit tee called the governor and were in formed that MT. Coolidge would take up the matter through the commits sioner.
 From September to September 8 at l ternpts were made to work out a plan | of settlement. The citizens committee and the mayor were in full accord, but had difficulty with Commissioner Curtis.
 The chronological record from Sep tember 8 to September II tells the rest of the story:
 September S-Afayor Peters attempt ed to communicate with Gov. Coolidge i'll order to present the plan of settle ! ment but failed to obtain an audience. He then mailed the plan to Coolidge and published an announcement so that the public might know it had been put up to the governor

COMMUNIST WOLVES
 URGE "RED" BLOCS

Chicago, Sept. 13.-The communists are now openly advocating revolution ary blocs in the trade unions. Prior to their fasco at the so-caled St. Paul sfarmer-labor" convention the commit nists posed in the unions as advanced progressives. This policy has failed and the communists have increased their woes by political blunders. They have now changed front In statement, No Alliance With Reactionaries," the Mos cow-directed crowd through their trade union educational league, order where ever possible, that revolutionary candl- dates be run on a straight T. U, F. L. program This means a revolutionary bloc in every union, where it is safe to take such action.

Rulership By
 Judges Is For
 Workers Only

Seattle, Sept. 13.-The workers are victims of new theory of government declared United States Senator Ships tead, in explaining the labor injunction at a mass meeting in this city
 'Workers are deprived of ther rights under the law" said Senator Shipstead "Workers are made subjects Of the IT, responsible will of what is sometimes called the conscience of our judges, sit ting in courts of equity, through the misuse of the power of injunction In other words, so far as labor IS con cerned government by injunction IS dis placing government by law. We believe these conditions have been brought government by those who have been en- trusted with the control of that power.
 "We believe that the paramount duty of every American citizen, man and Wo- man, this year is to join hands with the progressive flores and elect Robert La Toilette president, and Burton K Wheeler vice president, i'll order that the administration of government may be taken from those who have, and, as we believe will, continue to use 1t for special privilege, and in order that the administration of government shall be vested in men who shall see to 1t that the power of government shall be used for the purpose for which the govern  ment is intended"

a son of Confederate veteran, it will
be great favor to him If you send in
his name to Mrs. Kizer.

 TO AID THE f. O.P.
Two Party Electors Will Not
 Jeopardize Chances

Hartford, Sept. 16.--In order not to jeopardize a Coolidge-Dawes vote in the electoral college, Charles F. Brooker of Ansonia, whose name heads the list of seven candidates for presidential electors nominated by the republican state convention, notified Chairman J. Henry Rora- back of the state central commit tee yesterday that he will resign as president and director of the An- sonia National bank. z. ,." b..
 Under the constitution no person holding an office of trust or profit in the United States" may serve as presidential elector. It is a moot question whether this would apply to a. director of a national bank, but MT. Brooker decided not to take any chance on having his vote thrown out on a technicality.
 Col. Maxwell of Rockville, an- other of the republican nominees for presidential elector said that, for the same reason he will resign as president and director of the Rockville National bank and as a director of the First National bank of Hartford and the Hanover Ma 1 tional bank of New York. The di- l rectory of directors shows that only one other republican nominee for electr is national bank director. Frederick W. Mercer of New Lonx
 don is director of the National bank l of Commerce of New London.

Hardware Market Is
 Showing Strong Tone

New York, Sept. i7.AHasdware Age in it's weekly review of the hardware markets will say tomor- row:
 Bolts and nuts advanced 10 per cent in several market centers dur ing the past week. Spring prices Of garden tools for 1925 show ad- vanees on several items of approx- mately 7h to 10 per cent. Numer- ous small house changes are being made by jobbers in various sections of the country, which, however, are more or less in the nature of read justments. No other price changes of moment were reported.
 "The general tone of the hardware market is stronger. Buying Is better and retailers are showing more con- fidence. No large orders, however, are being placed on futures although the number of future orders has in- creased. Fall goods are moving bet ter.
 Some manufacturers are said to be behind on their production sched- ules because of the summer apathy on the part of buyers. During the past few weeks many of the factor les have received large number oi orders, and it Is said that there may ne temporary shortages of q minoi nature on some items this fall. Col leetions are reported as improved
