AMERICA CAN Do MUCH
TO DEVELOPE MEXICO

hood of Electrical Workers.
To many Americans, Mexico is that
little country south of US with which
the United States periodically squab-
bles. 1t is true Mexico in land area
is only about three times as large as
Texas, but it shelters a population
of 100000 persons, and it harbors
natural resources of extraordinary
value. Mexico now yields about one
third Of the worlds silver production.
1t is estimated that $4,000, 200, 900 Of
silver has been extracted from her
mines since 1921. In addition Mexico
has rich production of gold, copper
and lead; and an abundance of low
grade coal.
More precious than gold or silver
to this industrial civilization of ours,
which moves on wheels, are the fabu-

Where with eur Little Hatchet
we tell the truth about many
things, sometimes profoundly,
sometimes flippantly.

There are two words which could
well be kicked out of the language OF
our industrial life.
One of these words is master" as
applied to employers; the other is
"journeyman," as applied to skilled
workers.
Of the two, the word master is the
worst offender. It is really offensive
The wonder is that employers still use
it. But they do, and we have national
organisations Of employers which use
the word in their titles.

Iously rich Oil pools Of Mexico. Mex
leo produces about one-quarter Of the
oil Of the world. In 1908 she was pro-
ducing $685., 600 barrels; in 1923, 49,
500 ,085 barrels. An output Of almost
alone enough to make Mexico a power
of first rank in international import
ance.
Mexico farms, weaves and trades.
Yet her exploits in these directions
are not so noteworthy.
American capitalists have approx
mately one billion dollars thousand
million dollars-invested in Mexico;
and with this Latin neighbor. the
United States does a business of about
$3.50, 100000 a year.
The wealth of Mexico and the large
American investments there explain
why this country manifests such an
extraordinary warm interest in Mex
ico's affairs.
The question-when It gets down to
elementals-comes down to this. Who
is going to control the policies and
destinies of the Mexican nation7
A good deal has been heaped upon
Mexicans by Wall Street newspapers,
and an impression has been created
that Mexicans lack talent for gov
eminent.
Gales Administration.
AS matter of fact, the Gales adj
ministration is showing craftsmanship
of the highest order, in far-reaching
vision, and practical execution. It's
might has been directed toward lift
ing up the mass of its people; to Sc
cure higher standard of living and
more widespread education. A share
in this advancement has been taken
by the Electrical Workers of Mexico.
Brother Luis Morones, as Secretary of
Industry, Commerce and Labor, has
brilliantly stated Mexico's attitude to-
ward foreign powers. ''It is quite I'M
fair to look at Mexico only as a pro-
pitious field in which to acquire
wealth without expecting to give any
thing in return. Mexico has q right
just as any other country in the world
to demand consideration and respect.
Nations are great and respected not
only on account of their material
wealth and the means to defend them
selves. They are great and respected
because of a spirit of justice which
they possess, a spirit which dictates
their attitude toward the rest of the
world"
Americas help in this development
is asked. America can do much--to
aid, that is, the masses of American
labor can. This explains why the Pan
American Federation is so important.
American Labor's cooperation with
Mexico is one of labor's great tradi-
tions.

Ask Dad. He doesn't know, either.
The word employer" is accurately
descriptive. The word worker" is ac-

Why not use the right words? One
international union will not permit
the word master" to be written into
its agreements.
That union sets good example.

Mr.. Borah has been tender-hearted
toward the communists for very long

There are still in existence 1000

What's the use of such contradic-
tiosn? The reporter who bungles that

newspaper that doesn't know what is
being "put over" on it is not great
newspaper at all.

Organize Garment
Workers In City
Organizers for International Ladies
Garment Workers Union Estab-
lish Office in Kenosha.

Benjamon Dolnick, who holds Gre
dentials from the Chicago Federation
of Labor and the Chicago Joint Board
of the international Ladies' Garment
Workers Union, has established an
Office at I'll Main street, in the Bell
building, where it is planned to open
permanent headquarters in Kenosha
for the International Ladies' Garment
Workers Union.
Efforts are being made to organize
the women in that line of work in
Kenosha and to form a local union.
This particular industry, according to
Dolnick, has had a remarkable growth
in Kenosha during the past two years.
There are now over seventy-five wom-
en- employed in the various garment
shops in the city. The announcement
of the plans to organize the women
into union was received with con-
siderable enthusiasm in these shops
when Dolnick came to Kenosha.
The first meeting for the actual or
ganization work has been called at
the union headquarters at 211 Main
street for June 4. All workers in the
trade are invited to take part in the
discussions which, it is expected, will
result in the application for charter
from national headquarters.

Name Winner at
KenOsha Corn Show
s. w. Lars Wins First Place at the
Kenosha Branch of the Seed
Corn Exhibit at Chicago.

S. w. Lars; of Kenosha, took first
place in the Kenosha county seed
corn exhibit of the National Seed
Corn show held in Chicago under the
auspices of the Sears-Roebuck Agri-
cultural Foundation, according to a
report reaching here. His entry was
chosen as the best in this county's dis
play and was awarded the blue ribbon.
The average termination of the
corn entered in the county exhibit
was 92.8 per cent, the report stated.
This is considerably higher than the
average found for all Wisconsin en-
tries, which was only 65 per cent.
The National Seed Corn show, of
which the Kenosha county exhibit was
a part, was the largest seed corn show
ever held. 1t was designed to call
the attention of American corn grow
ers to the condition of their seed
corn and the need for termination
tests to assure a good crop. Fully
27,411 farms in forty-fve states had
entries in the show, which was in
effect series of 1871 county exhibits.
Each car was tested for termination,
and the judges were ten of the lead
ing corn authorities in America.

MERCHANTS MAY
:. LOSE DELIVERY
Early Mail Delivery Hangs
in Balance Says Post
master HOlderness.
FAIL TO COOPERATE

Postmaster Charles L. Holderness
issued an appeal this morning to mer-
chants. business men of various other
kinds and professional men who have
Offices or places of business in the
downtown district and that district
extending to Middle street north OF
the Main street bridge, to cooperate
with the postoffice to save the early
morning delivery of mail established
several months ago here. The delivery
in question is the one which starts
from the post office at 1880 each morn
ing, designed with a view of having
the mail at the Office or place of bust
ness of the patron when he reaches
there in the morning.
Mailmen have had much difficulty
in delivering the mail inasmuch as
many of the patrons, who arrive at
their places of business at or shortly
after eight o'clock have failed to pro-
vide proper receptacles in which, the
mail may be placed. In the absence of
such an outside mailbox, the mail
man, according to the regulations Oh
the postal service must return the
mail to the Office and take 1t out at
the next delivery.
Postmaster Holderness declared that
for this reason the extra delivery at
1880 has proven more Of disadvan-
tage than an advantage to some OF
the patrons and unless all cooperate
in making it possible to continue the
service, it will be necessary to go
back to the old schedule in the inter-
ests of better service for all concern
ed. Mail which is brought back to
the postofice from the early delivery
cannot then be delivered until the ten
o'clock delivery. Under the old sys-
tenn this mail would have been deliv-
cred about nine o'clock.

plan is the better one in the event
that all of the patrons realize the

want to continue it and we want to
make it better and this can be done
if the merchants and business men

KICK OF HORSE
KILLS FARMER
John C. Howard, Russell
Farmer, is Killed in

him, one of his hoofs hitting just
above the heart. Mr.. Howard fell
but rose and again approaching the
horse led it to the pasture and then
walked to his house.
In his house he collapsed and grad
ually grew weaker. DR.. Lowe OF
Pleasant Prairie was called but medi-
cal science could do nothing for the
injured man. He died at $3.50 We'd
