THE FAULT FINDERS

One and one makes two when you
are counting melons or money, but
they count more than two when count
ing organized men. When you count
one and one in your organization who
attend their meetings regularly and
work in harmony, they count two plus
the encouragement and stimulus they
instill into others. Therefore your
attendance and influence is needed in
your organization. Teamwork and
loyalty to officers and members is
essential to success.
Every union worker wants to see
their union grow in numbers and
strength, for a strong union IS an
insurance against a low standard OF
working conditions, low wages and
long hours. The more powerful a
union is, the less danger there is OF
strikes, for it is a well-known fact
that weak organization is stand
ing invitation to the employers to
break it up and destroy it.
In every "open shop" drive made
by the employers, they have been in
spired and encouraged by the fact
that there were millions of non-union
workers in this country, who have
been Indifferent to or hostile to the
labor movement; while on the other
hand there were others who were toe
cowardly to identify themselves with
the movement.
The "open shop" movement has
two-fold purpose. 1t seeks to weaker
and tear down the organizations OF
the workers and at the same time
discourage and mislead the unorgan
lied, so that they will either LOSE
faith in the unions or become con
vinced that it is a waste of time

Their gospel is simple, but as true as

Some one, some agency, must

Very few husbands undertake to
teach their wives these simple truths.

PORTO RICAN WOMEN
paid POVERTY WAGE

Organized labor is urging the Porto
Rican legislature to abolish the work
at-home" system, so general in that
island. An investigation by the bu-
reau of labor reveals that there are
10000 women and children working
at their homes for an average wage
of 20 cents day, piecework. Most
of the women in the country and lit
tie towns engaged in this work are
suffering from undernourishment and
lack of proper living conditions.
Employers and their agents have
registered vigorous protest against
the measure, which would affect
S12 ,OO0, 900 industry. They make the
usual claim-now that they have
been discovered-that they are will
ing to protect the women and child
workers. The first essential to this
protection, they insist, is to defeat the
bill that would prohibit work at home.
These employers reside in New
York, where they have their oInceS.

liant Enforcement of
Laws.

Hearty approval Of militant en-
forcement of national prohibition
laws by Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Andrews, was expressed by
Senator James e. Watson, here to-
day.
Prohibition is a part Of the Con-
stitution, and there is only one
thing for the Government from
President Coolidge down, to do and
that is to enforce; but one thing for
the people to do. an dthat is to obey
it," he declared. General Andrews

Just as he did his army, along
militant lines. If the law cannot he
inforced then, 1t is a question for
the people to decide what to do"
Kifers to Interview
Referring to an interview given by
him recently in Washington In which
he was quoted as giving the vets
az tip on how to play politics as eff
ficiently as the "drys." he said.
IT said that tie prohibition ques-
ton was in politics. Any question
when may be voted upon at any
time by the American people is IN
politics"
Turning to the senatorial election
of 1926 he said that he had not yet
picked a Manager for his campaign.
Opposition? Why 1 have heard Of
none, Watson said in answer to A
question. You know never look
for opposition"
No Talk Don Dismissal
He refused to discuss the Gismis-
sal by Governor Jackson Of Mrs.
Vivian Wheatcraft as director of the
intelligence division of the State
fire marshal's office, last week. Mrs.
Wheatcraft is a Watson worker.
Senator Watson spoke of William
Jennings Bryan as one of the out
standing characters of the period.
He was gifte dchiefiy as an ora

fine presence, magnetic personality,
rich vocabulary, vivid imagination
and a wonderful voice for public
speaking.

pontsnt3ons the Commoner met de-
Esa&ttwtos.
Resolution Defeated
His resolution pledging the church
to spend no part of its educational
fund on any institution teaching any
evolutionary hypothesis was de-
fsated Ia favor of a modified reeo-
luton ca2lans upon synods and pres
byteries to withhold 'of6ctal approx
hr' from institutions In which any
instruction seeks to establish a
naterialistic, evolutionary philoso-
ply of life"

Modification of specifications
so as to allow open competition
to bidders on the foundation Of

ordered by the memorial trus-
tees today, Marcus S. Sonntag
of Evansville, said.
New bids will be received as soon
as plans have been redrafted and the
specifications approved by Law

State board of accounts.
Sonntag said the next meeting
would be in about ten days.
Products Called For
Steel products Of Rivet Grip Steel
Company, Cleveland, Ohio. and
American System of Reinforcing,
Chicago, were called for, but the
Chicago firm did not submit quota
lions.
Rejection of all bids and modifica-

by Orr in a letter to the memorial
trustees.
Awarding of the contract was de.
layed last Tuesday when Orr ordered
the plans submitted to the board
for approval Opening of bids was
scheduled for today.
Orr Objects
Orr objected to the designation Of
a particular type of steel for con-
crete reinforcement. Indiana law
provides that an alternate must be
given and prohibits restriction of
competition" he said.
The specifications virtually re-
strict the steel used to the grade
produced by the River Grip Steel
Company" Orr declared. Walker &
