PRIZES AWARDED PUPILS IN LEGION ESSAY 1
CONTEST, SUBJECT IMMIGRATION PROBLEM

Glass distinction, social prejudices,
differences by birth, religion or ideas
have not been erected as barriers. A
man was recognized as a man "for a.
that"
Nobly has our generosity been re-
warded. In the conquest of the west
they have borne the burden. In the
crisis of the Civil War they stood by
the Union. In the development Of
great public enterprises they have
done the rough work. Those who
came were our kinsmen. Men from
the British Isles and northern Eu-
rope. Their ideals were readily adj
justed to our own.
But a change has taken place. The
character of the immigrant is diff
ferent. Now more come from south
ern Europe. Instead of joining in
the conquest of the west they con-
gest our already over-congested cit
les. They come without money, with
out education and without standards
of living. Their ideals of govern
ment are alien to our own.
The problem of our cities, always
serious, has become acute since the
World War. We are without suffi-
cient houses for homes, which tends
to lower moral standards. Our
schools are inadequate to meet the
groaing numbers, which breeds .ig-
norance, vice and crime. Huddled in
districts they live in America as
though not in America. Our laws
are ignored and strife is all too COM
mon.
Therefore for the sake of the
strangers who come to our shores as
well as for the best interests of those
who are already here and for the
well-being of our homes and institu-
tions we ought to lock the gates
against all strangers for the next
five years.
We owe it to the Founders of this
Republic to guard the institutions and
laws we have inherited. We have 3
trust to preserve the Ship of State.
To load a boat beyond the law of
safety means the destruction Of all.
We owe it to our homes to see that
the moral standards of society are
not lowered. To create abnormal con-
ditions that breed immortality is to
jeopardize the family.
We owe it to the future America
to guarantee an intelligent and con-

RUSSIAN TRADE UNIONS
INCREASE MEMBERSHIP

The change in trade union mem
bership in Soviet Russia is worthy Of
consideration. According to statistics
recently published by the Information
al Labor Office the memberships in
trade unions in October, 1921, were
7,93S,600. On April, 1922, this num-
Der had decreased to 5,846,8O0, and in
October, 1922, to 4,546,O0O. During
the year 1923, however, a reversal of
this movement set in and according
to the census of October, 1928, trade
union memberships had increased to
5,541 900. The increase during the
year 1928 is divided among all occu-
pations and unions, but the greatest
increase is reflected in industrial
trade unions, approximately 100000.
Agricultural trade unions increased
their membership by 10000; trans
port and commerce unions by 10000;
Soviet employees and professional
unions increased by approximately
100000; and a scattered increase in
miscellaneous unions was also re-
flected.

EDUCATE AS WELL AS ORGANIZE
BY JOHN P. FREY,
Editor international MOlders' Journal

One of the tradeunion notices from the earliest days
has been "agitate, organize educate"
Too frequently sufficient attention is not given to the
educational feature and yet education the foundation
upon which trade unonsm depends and the necessary edu
cation not completed until the trade unonst takes
personal pride in the fact that he is member of organ
lied labor This trade union education be carried
altogether at the meetings Much of it, and of the
most valuable parts only be impaired through
talks with those who are prospective members or
those who have already joined the ranks.
Trade unionism of the head may but little more
than the multiplication table a list of rules Trade
unonsm of the heart is the almportan factor If were
not for the pride which many trade unonsts have in
their membership if it not for loyalty they feel to-
ward trade union principles trade union would
be impossible.
Intelligent agitation, energetic efforts to organize
necessary at all times but education the keystone The
opportunities to carry this education always open
wherever there non-union under the jurisdiction
of a local union, well as with the younger members
The welfare of every local depends largely than some
men understand upon the degree of trade union educational
effort which continually carried by the loyal members
Every member should be made to realize that carry
card is privilege to be proud Of To accomplish
this every member must be taught the principles upon
which trade uniOnism is founded.

CLEVELAND, o., July 3. = The

agreed that the credentials of all
delegates shall be critically inspect
ed and that communists shall not be

This policy has been determined

is the outstanding presidential can
didate, and it is confidently expect
ed that his name will be placed before
the convention without opposition.
Vice presidential possibilities are
uncertain. Bishop Frances McDon-

COUNCIL OMITS
MEETING THIS WEEK

Because Of Friday coming on the
Fourth of July the regular council
meeting of this week is omitted. A
full delegation from all the locals is
looked for at the meeting of July
18th. The following week is con-
vention week, which will no doubt take
so many delegates from the council
floor as to render a meeting that
week doubtful, so that all matters
needing immediate attention should
be brought up by the delegates at
the coming meeting of the council.

WALL STREETS INTEREST
IN CAMPAIGN FUNDS

Who contributes to the cam
paign slush funds? This ques-
tion was answered by Senator
Lodge, Republican leader in the
Senate, while that body was dis
cussing campaign contributions.
Here is his answer: 81 think /
am putting it moderately" said
the Senator, when | say that
nine-tenths of the money ex-
pended on behalf of the party
of the Senator from Arkansas
Ia Democrat), as well as mine,
is raised in New York"
When the Senator speaks of
New York he does not mean
that the workers and the COM
mon folks of that metropolis
contribute to the campaign
funds of either party but that
what he meant is that the big
banking interests, the "open
shop" manufacturer, and all the
big interests, commonly known
as Wall Street, are putting up
the money to finance the cam
paign.
Wall Street does not finance
campaigns because it cares any
thing about the leaders of the
old parties nor does it lavishly
give its money for the sport of
playing politics. Wall Street
has q selfish purpose, many
times more valuable than the
amount that it contributes to
the reactionary leaders in both
parties.

BARRIERS CAMPAIGN

bers are conducting their side of the
controversy in a quiet way, but they
are in dead earnest and give forceful
arguments against the destruction Of
the conditions they have labored SO
long to attain.

Harden Colfax, writing in the

12 of the 13 Big Business planks

"Open Shop" Plank Approved
Of the 18th plank Colfax says Big

This plank evidently was the Big
Business "open shop plank" which as
set forth in the Big Business series
of demands reads as follows:
"To select and pursue any lawful
business or occupation, to make legi-
