ONE OF VOLL'S LAST SPEECHES

President John Voll, of the G. B. B.
A., while speaking of existing trade
conditions in his address before the
national convention, has this to say
regarding the effects of the Volstead
Act:
The Glass Bottle Industry, and
especially the Glass Bottle Blowers
Association, has been hard hit by the
enactment of the Volstead Act. To
give an idea of the damage inflicted,
it is only necessary to call attention
to the report published by the United
States Tariff Commission relative to
glass bottles and containers. 1t sets
forth that in 1918 there were produc-
ed in this country 4,573,610 gross of
beer and mineral water bottles and
2,6S9,O22 gross of liquor bottles and
flasks, the total amounting to 7,262,-
632. Approximately the number OF
mineral water bottles at 100000
gross would leave 5,762,632 gross of
beer and liquor bottles. Estimating
their sale price at $4.00 per gross f.
o. b. factory and we have this part
of the product of the industry bring
ing an income to it of $23,O50, ,52S,
which has been practically wiped out
so far as our country is concerned.
This calamity is one of the principal
factors in reducing the employed
membership of the Association.
Many of our members have drifted
into other lines, though the organl-
cation still has many not employed at
the trade, which means there is idle
ness through unemployment. There
are some beer and liquor bottles be-
ing made in this country, however, for
export trade. 1t is presumed, and the
presumption is based upon good cir
cumstantial evidence, that much OF
this exported ware is returned to this
country filled with liquor-smuggled
in.
The report of the Department OF
Commerce on the exports of glass
bottles and containers, for the month
of February 1924, to 46 different
countries, gives the value as of $21O,-
900. The report if significant in that
$162,123 Of this value went to four
countries; England to which was ex'
ported in the sum of $11, 1,625; Canada
$82,O58; Mexico $15,171 and Cuba
$53, ,16O.
What will be the value received
when they are returned filled can
best be answered by those engaged in
the bootlegging business.
Quite number of glass bottle
plants that did not manufacture beer
and liquor bottles have been put out
of business entirely. This came about
through the larger well financed
plants reaching out for other lines of
ware to manufacture after their mar
ket for beer and liquor bottles had
been destroyed.
Yet with all this the Glass Bottle
Blowers Organization up until this
time made no concerted effort toward
a modification of the Volstead Act,
and not until July 1922, did it go on
record for a modification of the Act.
Yet it is plain the economic punish
ment our members were and are COM
PEELED to endure, is, to say the least,
drastic.
Conscious of the damage done to

THE sHERIFFs BOARDIN' HOUSE

THE SHERIFFS BOARDIN' HOUSE
The meat, bread and grocery Dill
of Sheriff Fred Vogelmeier runs way
up into high figures during the course
of a year, for in that time he serves
hundreds and hundreds of meals to his
involuntary guests, most of whom are
blessed with a healthy appetite.
The menu of the sheriff's boarding
house is not skimpy, as those VINO
have stayed with him will testify, and
all the supplies are bought right here
at home among our retail merchants,
not bought from outside parties at
wholesale prices. Fritz divides his
trade among the dealers without re-
gard to nationality, religion or poll
tics, the only requirement is that ev-
erything shall be first class and IN
good condition.
The "Hired Man" accidentally
stumbled upon this plan OF Sheriff
Vogelmeier, which has been in opera
ton since he first entered upon his
duties and has proved very satisfac--
tory to all parties concerned, and
deemed it of sufficient importance to
mention the fact and commend the or
ficial for patronizing our own mer-
chants exclusively and keeping the
money in circulation in our home
town. o..
Would that others of our citizens
would follow his example.

The Plus System Is
Held to Be Unfair

Washington-The Pittsburgh plus
system of determining steel prices is
held by the federal trade commission
to be not only an unfair method of
competition, but a violation of the
Clayton act, in that it is a means of
price discrimination.
In an order directing the United
States Steel corporation and it's sub
sidiaries to abandon the system by
which rolled steel products shipped
from various points are quoted at
the Pittsburgh base price, plus freight
charges from that city to destination,
the commission asserts that it is a
method of price-fixing not founded
on the law of supply and demand.
Operation of the system, the COM
mission adds, tends to retard the
steel business in all centers except
Pittsburgh, to lessen and eliminate
competition and to increase costs to
consumers to amount that reaches
$30,000,000 a year in the case of
farmers in eleven western states
alone.

Wheeler Slated For
WhirIwind Campaign

Washington-Whi LaFollette will
talk to millions of Americans two or
three times week during the last
two months of the campaign over the
radio and makes six Or eight speeches
from New York to Kansas City
Wheeler is going to go out and meet
millions of the voters face to face.
The younger man is in good vigorous
health, he has a dramatic story to
tell, and he is deluged with invita-
tions to "come out to our state"
LaFollette will probably speak on
the fundamental economic issues.
Vast audiences in New York, Phila-
delphia, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Chi
cago, Minneapolis, Milwaukee and
Kansas City will see him and hear
him on the rostrum. Moving pictures
of these meetings will be shown
throughout the country.
With Wheeler, newcomer in ma
tional politics within the past year,
the case is different. He is prom
ised the biggest audiences that ever
heard political speech in Los
Angeles. San Francisco, Portland,
Tacoma and Seattle are waiting to
show what they can do. 1t is to be
the spirit of the Bryan campaign of
1896 all over again, with better un-
derstanding of the underlying eco
nomic causes for the purchase of the
two old party organizations by Nor
gan & Co.
Wheeler plans to tell voters, in his
swing around the continent from Bos-
ton, through Chicago and st. Paul to
Seattle and Los Angeles, that the old
party organizations must be judged
by their administrative fruits. He
will tell the story of Mitchell Palmer,
Albert Sydney Burleson, David F.
Houston, and Fall, Mellon, Harry
Daugherty and w. J. Burns.
He will recall the wholesale sus-
pension of civil rights by the Palmer
and Daugherty injunctions in the coal
and rail strikes, and will tell why
this crime was committed. He will
review, in pungent style, the story of
Jess Smith, Howard Warrington, Bill
Orr, Remus and LaMontagne broth
ers, bootleg millionaires and show
how sympathetically the gangs of
both old parties cooperated in the
alliance Of booze, graft and repres-
sion.

0ut|awsStee| Trust

Washington-After one of the
bitterest fights in the history of
the federal trade commission, that
body has ordered the steel trust to
abandon pittsburgh plus" I'm
der this system steel manufactur-
ers add to their prices freight costs
from Pittsburgh, though the steel
never saw Pittsburgh. This puts
the trust mills around Pittsburgh
on an equal basis with mills near
er the raw material.
The commission declared that
system is not based on the law of
supply and demand; it is a price
fixing scheme succeeding the old
steel pools, Gary dinners, etc.; it
is made possible by the steel
trusts dominant position; it de-
stroys competitors; it is price dis
elimination not made in good faith
to meet competition; it retards
business in steel centers except in
Pittsburgh, and it increases prices.
The commission declared that
the system adds unnecessary mil
lions of dollars annually to the
cost of steel products, and specifi-
cally adds $30,0OO,000 to the cost
of steel products paid by farmers
in eleven western states.
The commission is of the belief
that abandonment of this system
will mean the building up of all
steel-producing and consuming
sections outside of Pittsburgh and
will end the rigid prices in this
industry.
Every home builder in the land
is a victim of this policy, yet no
publicity has been given this vici-
Gus system by those who talk of
high" wages in the building in
dustry.

LOOphOIeS For Rich
Tax Payers

Westinghouse is discovered
that loop holes in the new tax law
Will practically guarantee the old
secrecy for large income tax pay
ers.
The last session of congress pro-
vided for publicity of disputed
claims. Formerly tax return con-
trroversies were adjusted behind
closed doors in the treasury de-
partment. Under the new tax law
a board of appeals is created. This
board is outside the treasury de-
partment.
Treasury officials have ruled
that if the taxpayer desires to 90
before this board, and have his af-
fairs published to the world, he
may do so. Otherwise he has sew
eral recourses inside the treasury
department. These rulings, it is
claimed, give taxpayers every op-
portunity to settle in secret.

the glass bottle industry and the
workmens' organization therein, and
recognizing and realizing the damage
caused to other industries and organ
izations by the law, there is brought
forcibly to our minds the doctrine laid
down by great theologian in which
he says: "That if law be not based
upon right reason, it is an unjust
law"
Though the glass bottle industry
was and is now severely blighted by
the enactment of the law and our
members engaged therein have suf-
fered therefrom, we took the position
that the only way to determine
whether a law is based upon right
reason or not is to give it trial. The
Volstead Act has had, in our opinion,
thorough trial, and we are convin-
ced that it is not based upon right
reason, at least, so far as it prohibits
the manufacture and sale of beer and
light wines.
To the figures herein set forth
could be added thousands upon thou
sands of gross patent medicine bot
ties where alcoholic content was from
rs to so per cent. The Association,
however, is not asking for or request
ing return of hard liquors nor an
indiscriminate sale of beer and light
wines. 1t is seeking the right, if the
family so wishes, to have it delivered
to the home, just as milk and other
commodities are delivered. Thought
and reflection and what is contained
in this subject matter will bring a
vivid realization of what the Asso-
citation and the industry has passed
through during the last five years.

Bible Students Pres.
Opposes Prohibition

Columbus, O.-"Morals cannot be
enforced by law" declared Judge j.,
F. Rutherford, president of the In
ternational Bible Students Associa-
ton at it's convention here last week.
GAS soon as you prohibit some
thing, hundreds of persons who had
not cared for it before begin to do
it, he asserted. 81 abhor liquor my
self, but I am unequivocally opposed
to prohibition. The statute increase,
rather than decrease the use of Ii
quor."
Judge Rutherford suggested that
good could be accomplished better by
an appeal to reason than by the pass
ing of laws.
Estimates of the number of Bible
students here for the convention place
the figure at more than 10000.

Fall Denied a Secret
Hearing

Ell Paso, When Albert B.
Fall was secretary of the interior,
and a member of the Harding
Coolidge cabinets, his every wish
was granted, and he was powerful
enough to turn over natural re-
sources to private parties.
But times have changed, and
now he is refused private pre-
liminary hearing to arrange for
his appearance in Washington next
October to answer changes in con-
ection with the leasing of govern
ment oil reserves.
1t is claimed that Fall actually
believed the United States commits
sioner would come to his house to
arrange details for his $4,000 bail
bond. Friends of Fall had previ-
ously conferred with the commits
sioner, who treated Fall as any
other accused.

R. R. Organizations
Line Up For LaFOIIette

Washington - That the railroad
brotherhoods and the shop crafts or
ganizations do not seek to control the
LaF GILLETTE campaign organizations,
except in proportion to their contri-
button to the fight, was demonstrat-
ed when the national committee of
the Conference for Progressive Poll
tical Action voted to enlarge it's mem
resentativeS of labor or progressive
bodies, in proportion to the strength
of these organizations. This would
permit the entry of large delega-
ton from the American Federation of
Labor in case the A. F. of l.. execu-
tive council, meeting August at At
lantic City, decides to cooperate in
the C. P. P. A. phase of the cam
paign. The total accredited to the
national committee is now At. 1t may
grow to 100. Mrs. ellison Gardner of
Washington was added to the delega-
tion from the Women's Conference
for Political Action.
Senator Wheeler and Senator Fra
zier, Democrat and Republican, will
speak at a LaFollette Democratic
rally in Virginia, within few days,
to open the local campaign.
Detroit-Unanimou support for
LaFollette for president was voted at
the annual meeting of the grand Off
cials and general chairmen, United
Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way
Employees and Railway Shop Labor
ers. The meeting made provisions
for the campaign and urged it's mem
bership to make small financial con-
tributions.
Baltimore, Md.-Senator LaFollette
was indorsed for President of the
United States at largely attended
meeting of the Baltimore Federation
of Labor last Sunday in Carpenters
hall. 1t was the first time in the his
tory of the central labor body that it
has indorsed a political candidate,
stated Henry F. Broening, president
of the Federation, lifelong Democrat
and member of the last state legisla-
ture.
Huntington, w. Va.-The Chesa-
peake & Ohio La Toilette Club has
been organized in the shop of the
Chesapeake & Ohio at Huntington,
West Virginia.
Arrangements were made to stage
