Vigorous Campaign to
Defeat Legislation
UnfavOrable to Labor

The Executive Council of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor during its
session just closed in Washington
mapped out a vigorous campaign
against certain legislation that is
threatened to be introduced in con-
gresS.
The proposal of Representative
Davey of Ohio to give full power to
President Coolidge TO re-organize gov
ornamental departments was declared
to be a part of the program to weaken
the powers of as we'll as TO discredit
congress.
For several years the American
Federation of Labor Was faced with
the proposal to weaken IL not TO de-
stroy the department of labor. This
effort came from the Harding admin
isiration. While il is not known what
President Coolidge's feelings are to-
ward the department of labor the in
fiuences that attacked that depart
ment in the past are still in tho saddle.
Therefore, the Executive Council
directed President Green to enter a
most vigorous protest against the
plans of Representative Davey.
President Green was also instructed
to oppose in every way any conscnp-
ton of every kind except in case of
defensive war.
The insidious campaign that is be-
ing made to convince members OF con-
gress that Japanese coolies should
come under the immigration quota
law was also considered and the Exc
cutive Council directed that every
effort be made to defeat this un-Amer-
lean proposal. The Executive Council
also voted against any plan to mini
mize or weaken in any way the immi-
grafton law.
A bill providing that penal institu-
tions in the various states should not
manufacture articles to be placed on
the market but should be used for
state use exclusively was approved
and will be sent TO the various state
declarations of labor to have introduced
in their respective legislatures.
Propaganda in the interest of ship
subsidy foretells that that pernicous
scheme will be introduced again in
congress. The council directed that
any form of ship subsidy should be
opposed. :,
Reports were received by the council
that various chambers of commerce on
the Mexican border, the governor OF
Texas and certain Mexican officials
were actively engaged trying to bring
hordes of Mexicans into the United
States. Those engaged in the cam
paign are preparing a petition to pre-
sent to President Gales. President
Green was directed to enter protest.
Plans for an intensive non-partisah
political campaign in the coming cleo
tons for representatives in congress
were made.
Every proposal for labor and anti
labor legislation in congress was con-
sidered and definite action taken.
Reports that the proposed ch'id
labor amendment is gaining ground In
states that had refused its ratification
gives great encouragement for us
final success. The question is being
discussed in many colleges and univer-
stiles and other institutions OF learn
ing and the pendulum in its favor Is
swinging rapidly toward success.

Post Office Is for Peoples
Service; Steel Trust
Methods Can't Apply

| Washington, Dec. 3.-Postmaster
General New indicates sympathy for
the theory that the post office depart
ment should be conducted on the same
basis as the steel trust, although
profits is the basis of one and service
the other.
Writing in the Nations Business,
published by the Unitea States cham
Der of commerce. Mr.. New says it is
impossible to apply steel trust meth
DDS in his department because APP
| preparations come through congress,
while Judge Gary and board of di-
rectors are supreme in the steel trust
Just picture stel trust methods in
the post office" said Leo George,
president of the National Federation
of Post Office Clerks.
The first thing that would be done
by steel trust management, after the
| long work day and seven-day week
were established, would be to abolish
the rural free delivery system. There
is but one or two of these routes IN
the entire country that are self-sus-
tanning.
THE next thing would be abolish
ment of the city free deliveries, except
in business centers, and these less fire.
quent. Steel trust methods would de-
mand that the people call for their
mail at the post office as less carriers
would mean economy.
"All air mail service would be aboi-
ished, because of large expenditures
in excess of income.
"There would be no franked mail
and government departments would be
charged for the educational matter
that flows to the people. Education
and intellectual development would be
subordinate to the steel trusts ideal
of dividends"
Mr.. George said most people are UNI
acquainted with the extent of the de-
partment's activities outside of hand
ling mail. At the present time, ne
said, there are more than 10000 OF
these employees serving as civil service
secretaries in examinations Of citizens
who would enter the government EN-
ploy.
Every department of the govern
ment," he said. sis aided by the post
office department, whether it be track
ing criminals or developing patriot
ism. To cite one instance of aid to
other departments: During the world
war the government wanted to know
the number of hogs on the farms In
this country. The matter was turned
over to the rural free delivery section
of the post office, md in few days
every hog from coast to coast was
counted. Time was saved, also mil
lions of dollars that woud be spent IN
the erection of vast machinery to COM
pile this information
President George disagreed with the
claim that the post office deficit Is
caused by wage increses to employees,
He said that the deficit of $50, 600 600
in 1921 was reduced to $24 100000 IN
1924.
This years deficit" he continued,
sis 10000 which Postmaster
General New charges to increased
wages. This years deficit is s15,Ooo,..
900 more than last year, in spite OF
the fact that $34 100000 was added to
salaries of employees. This indicates
that 5000 900 has been absorbed by
EMPLOYEES increased efficiency"

Pastors Words Heard
400 Miles By Wire

For years, DIR. X. D. Bisbee had been
the beloved pastor Of the st. Paul
NJ. E. Church in Spokane, Wash. Not
long ago he was called back East and
the fond congregation was overcome
with grief at his leaving.
A Jealous admirer, anxious to hear
the well-known voice again, sought
the aid of the Bell Telephone Com
pany and as a result DR.. Bisbee was
able to deliver a sermon in Boston
last month, every word of which was
clearly heard by his former eongrega-
ton in Spokane, 4,700 miles distant by
wire. The old church literally rang
with the words of the pastor. speak
ing from the far end of a vast con-
tinent.
Such a journey by train and stage
coach so years ago would have taken
at least four weeks; today the voice Is
carried from coast to coast or any
where over the 100000 miles oil
telephone wire in this country, in one
fiftieth part of a second.

BY DIR. HUGH S. CUMMING
Surgeon General, L. S. Public Health



Some authorities estimate that at
least one-third of all adults are partly
deaf in one or both ears. A certain
percentage Of this affliction is the
result or processes arising outside of
the ear itself. Adenoids that develop
slowly and that enlarge tosillar It's
sue above the palate, and stoppages,
Of the nose passages by colds are
molc often causes Of deafness than
any disease Of the ear itself.
To'avoid ear trouble it is important
that the nose be kept in Il healthy
condition. Few people realize the
important part played by the nose in
the preservation of good hearing.
Nearly all Of our ear troubles de-
vclop not in the outer ear but IN the
middle ear and the eustachian tube
which opens from it. This, tube
serves rs a drainage canal and helps
to maintain an equality Of air pres
sure on both sides of the ear drum.
When you are in Il healthy condition
this pressure is kept equalized be-
cause whenever you swallow or yawn
air is admitted into the custachian
tube. When you suffer from persist
ent colds or catarrh the nasal pass
ages bec.>ne clogged and the eustach-
ian, tube frequently is blocked. When
this happens the air pressure is not
equalized and the drum is sometimes
pushed out Of shape. Inflammation
Of the ear and other serious diseases
Of the ear are thus begun.
1t frequently happens also that a
nasal douche is used with pressure
which forces water into the eusta-
chian tube or into the middle ear
When this happens, trouble is sure
to start. Authorities are generally
agreed that the indiscriminatc use
Of nasal washes is unwise.
Another procedure which is to be
condemned is the dropping Of oil or
commercial ear drops or laudanum in
to the ear for the purpose of relieving
earache. Earache, ringing noises in
the head, discharges and other dis
tu,bances of the hearing apparatus
