For Itching Torture
Use Antiseptic Liquid Zemo

There is one remedy that seldom
fails to stop itching torture and re-
lieve skin irritation, and that makes
the skin soft, clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
Zemo, which generally overcomes
skin diseases. Eczema, Itch, Pimples,
Rashes, BIackheads, in most cases
quickly give way to Zemo. Free
quently, minor bIemishes disappear
overnight. Itching usually stops in

PRESIDENT SIGNS
ARBITRATION BILL

Washington-Th president has
signed the United States arbitration
bill
Under this law an arbitration
award in business dispute is valid
in the federal courts, and has all the
power of federal law. The act applies
where parties to a contract agree to
submit to arbitration any dispute dur
ing the life of the contract. If one
of the parties attempt to break the
agreement federal court can appoint
an arbitrator to represent him.
The new law, it is said, will reduce
by one-half the number of civil suits
that now cucumber federal court cal
endars.
Labor disputes are specifically ex.
cluded from this act, which is ot
especial interest to trade unionist:
because of their attitude toward arbi
tration as means of adjusting dis
putes between men.

the formation of a party along geo.
graphical lines an din conformity with
the election laws of the various States,
giving each State autonomy as to its
personnel and permitting such units
to take in various groups if they see
fit.
Morris Hillquit and a large section
of the Socialist delegation vigorously
opposed this plan and contended that
the group plan should be the dominant
feature
George Hoehn of ST Louis, who has
been the recognized leader of the Mis-
souri, Socialists for more than 80
years. supported the majority report

issue with Hillquit's position. Hoehn
took occasion to pay high tribute to
the wisdom and sincerity of the Off
GERS of the railroad organizations and
said that he was in entire sympathy
with them and was well informed as to
the difficulties confronting them.

Hillquit made motion to substi-

Governor Pledged to Bill
Numerous previous attempts have
been made to enact law of this char
acter in Illinois, but each effort has
been defeated. Better luck is antici-
pated with the present bill. Governor
Len Small and the republican party of
Illinois, which is in power, are pledged
to legislation of this character, and
organized labor is expecting that that
pledge be kept.

Springfield, HIT seems to be a
certainty that the present session of
the Illinois General Assembly will re-
peat the performance of three previous
sessions by again defeating the state
constabulary BILL A count of noses in
the senate shows 34 senators opposed
and II for the bill. The bill for the
, same purpose that was introduced in
the house has been withdrawn
Small Opposed to Bill
Aside from this situation in the leg
islature, International Labor News
Service is able to make the positive
statement that Governor Len Small
is unequivocally opposed to such a
measure and will veto it if it ever
reaches him.
A representative of certain powerful
political and financial interests in
Chicago recently visited Governor
Small and threatened him with politi-
cal extinction if he did not come
through and favor the establishment
of a state constabulary in Illinois.
When the Governor refused acqui-
escence in the demand, it was related
on good authority, the emissary said to
the governor:
"You do not want word to go out
that you will veto this bill, do you?"
"Well, haven't told you to keep it
a secret" Governor Small replied
Friends of Bill Beaten
Members of the legislature are not
unmindful of the fact that organized
labor was able to defeat six senators,
who voted for state constabulary
during the 1923 session, and that six
men favorable to labor's program are
occupying the seats of the six defeated
solons.
Just as forecast by International
Labor News Service a month before
the Illinois legislature convened, the
state constabulary bill has proved to
be the pet measure of the manufacture

A veritable flood of money has been
cut loose to popularize the measure

to put such bill across in Illinois
in the last seven or eight years.

OHIO WORKERS
To Protect Legal Rights Ask
Legislature to Outlaw
''Individual Con
tract"

Columbus, Ohio.-Organized labor
is asking the state legislature to out
law the so-called individual con-
tract" anti-union employers force
workers to sign before they are given
employment. Under this contract a
worker pledges not to join a trade
union, or urge others to do so, or to
in any other way encourage senti-
ment for higher wages and improved
working conditions.
The unionists point to the immor-
arity of such a contract, which ignores
the basis of contractural relations
free will and absence of duress When
the wife and children of a worker
demand food and shelter, the union
lists say, the state should not legal
ize a contract that has been secured
from that worker under such condi-
tions
Another point the unionists empha-
size is that the worker is forced to
surrender legal right to join a
trade union. Instead of being pro-
tected in that right, society, by it's
acquiescence of the individual con-
tract" in effect, approves the policy
of the anti-union employer who takes
advantages of the workers. necessity
