Year Book Records
LabOr's Gains

Gains in shorter hours of work
in more aggressive trade union tactics,
in political strength, and in interna-
tonal unity, are recorded for the
labor movement in the American La
Dor Year Book, issued by the Labor
Research Department of the Rand
School of Social Science, New York
The bird's-eye survey of industrial
conditions, trade union activity, labor
in politics, labor and the law, CO.
operation, and other topics, in Ameri-
ca and abroad, is studied with en-
couraging facts. Other facts not so
rosy, should spur the workers on TO
renewed effort.
That the workers wages will pur-
chase less today than they did in 1890,
while on the other hand 81 persons in
the United States had incomes of
more than S1,000,000 in 1922. is one
of the industrial contrasts which the
labor movement is striving to wipe
out. Unemployment is shown to be
a permanent condition, each year from
200, 900 to 100000 being out of
work for longer or shorter periods.
Industrial accidents number nearly
$500, 900 yearly, of which over 1000
are fatal. Child labor is reported on
the increase.
The open shop drive has been prac-
tically stemmed, union losses in the
past year being slight as compared
with the previous years. Active or
ganization campaigns are under way
to recapture the lost ground. Among
the miners, machinists, carpenters,
ladies' garment workers, and other
trades, strong left wing is making
itself felt. Few strikes or lockouts
occurred during the year. Most of
them were in the building trades, for
increased wages. Nearly half of the
disputes were settled in favor of the
workers.
The volume gives The history of the
LaFollette presidential campaign with
labor endorsement, together with the
platforms and records of the Socialist,
Socialist Labor, and Workers Parties.
Few labor laws of Importance were
were won in the courts by reversing
convictions for violation of injunctions
in the railroad shop crafts strike of
1922. On the other hand, the Wiscon-
sin minimum wage law, the pioneer
Pennsylvania old age pension act, and
the Minnesota weekly rest day law
were declared unconstitutional
Whether for good or for bad-and
there are many who think each way
labor unions are going in further and
further for banking enterprises. In
cooperation there is a slump with re-
gard to stores, but housing, bakeries,
laundries, creameries, and similar
cooperative services are growing.
The increasing interest in labor
questions is indicated by the large
number of new books dealing with the
subject which are listed at the end
of the Year Book.

Australian Labor Aids
Seamen; Workers De-
feat Anti-UniOn Plot

Melbourne, Australia, Sept. 5.-Ine
federal government has been defeated
in its attempt to wreck the Seamen' 5
union, through the solidarity Of these
workers and organized labor generally
The trouble started several months
ago when the government shipping
board chartered the Nolumnia-a BHI-
.ish cargo steamer owned By one OF
the companies forming the lnterna-
tional shipping combne-to come 10
Australia for a cargo for British ports;
At the same time the shipping board
had vessels Of the Commonwealth line
government owned) out Of e0mmls-
sion in nearly every Australian por,
well able to ship the cargo.
The Seamen's union objected 10 the
government chartering the Foiumnia.
They pointed out that this vessel Is
registered under British articles and
ways are lower than the rates PAID
to seamen on Australian operated
steamers.
By keeping an Australian boat out
of commission and giving the cargo
to the Volumnia the shipping ooard
would get the work done By a combine
vessel with cheaper labor.
When the British vessel arrived
here the crew was informed of condl-
tions and promptly objected TO work
on the Australian coast at lower
wages than those paid Australian
crews. When they walked of the yes
sci, they were thrown into jail. Strike
breakers were employed by the vol
umnia management, and then laborers
refused to handle the cargo. The
shipping board ordered that a com
monwealth vessel be used to transfer
the cargo, but this vessel was also
declared black" Bewildered by the
workers solidarity, the shipping board
violated the merchant marine act,
and had the arbitration court deregls-
ter the Seaman's union, which was
aided by the commonwealth govern
ment. Efforts were made to abolish
trial by jury and drive officers of the
union from Australia.
By one common impulse the entire
trade union movement rushed to the
defense of the seamen, an dnow the
shipping combine is willing to discuss
matters, while the governments aid
to the union busters has collapsed.
Labor has achieved a glorious VIC
tory" says the Australian Worker.
Whatever happens now, the conspir-
acy of the shipping combine and the
Bruce government is a ghsatly fail
ure.n

Open Competition in
In State Fair Races

Springfield, ILL.,, Sept. 9.-"Open TO
the world-let the fastest car and the
most daring driver win," are the gen
raj conditions announced by the man
aaement of the Illinois State Fair
automobile races, to be held on the
first and last days of the fair-Sep-
TENDER 10 and &c. Conducted under
supervision of the Northern Illinois
Automobile Racing Association, each
event on the card will be contested
strictly on competitive basis, every
driver striving for the honor and profit
of being the first to cross the tape.
Exceptionally large purse offerings
for the various events that are pro-
grammed have made the State Fair
meet the most important dirt track
event of the year, with the result that
already numerous ones of the coun-
try's star drivers have made their en-
tries. "Wild Doc" Roberts, that has
steadily worked himself up to a prom
inent position among the most noted
pilots who have chosen the hazardous
dirt track courses for their field OF
battle, was among the first to make
entry, with N. f. O'Hair, secretary OF
the Northern Illinois Association, and
this lad is one whose dare devil driv-
ing will afford many a thrill, as he
takes the short turns on high in his
Overland Special LES" Allen, OF
Chicago, is another that is driving
fool when there is rich purse hung
up at the end of the route, and in re-
cent years no other driver has grabbed
off a bigger percentage of purse
money than has this daring pilot in
his Frantenac Special. Cliff Wood
bury, in Frontenac; L. Wennestoh,
in Nelson Special; Eddie Burbach
In Frontenac, and numerous other
windy city" pilots are now tuping up
their cars for this especial event.
The program as arranged for each
of the two days, carries four events
of ten miles each, while the final event
on each afternoon will be thirty-five
miles. Entries in the thirty-fve mile
race will be composed of the first four
cars to finish in each of the ten mile
races, making a field of sixteen for
the feature contest of the day.
Do not confuse this with a "hippo-
drome" event, for it is not; every car
will be an individual entry, and each
pilot will be in the race for the prize
money that he can secure by finishing
first or $ near there as possible. The
big purse money has attracted pilots
from all sections of the country. and
requests for entry blanks have been
received from fifteen different states.
The $500 cash prize that is offered
for establishing a new worlds record
is challenge flung in the face of the
most ambitious dirt track drivers of
the nation, and competition for cham
pionship honor and the big cash prize
will spur these speed demons of the
dirt course to unusual daring.

IMPROVING BREED OF CATTLE
Ayrshire Breeders Organize A PENN
sula Organization for Pure Herds

Breeders and owners of Ayrshire
cattle throughout Delaware and the
entire eastern shore of Maryland are
to have a breeders association. This
movement has been under way for
some time, but the organization was
not formed until Thursday of last
week when several representative
Ayrshire breeders from this territory
met at the farm of L. D. Caulk near
WOodside, Delaware, and perfected
the Eastern Shore Ayrshire Breeders
Association. Mr. Caulk has the dis
tinctiOn of being one of the foremost
breeders of Ayrshire cattle in this
section of the country, and as a re-
suit of his careful selection of breed
types, has developed an excellent herd
of pure bred stock from which he has
selected several prize winners at the
county and state fairs. The purpose
of this organization will be to i'm
prove the quality of Ayrshire cattle
now being owned by the members,and
to also interest other farmers in this
particular breed of dairy cattle. I'M
prOvements in the Ayrshires, as in
each of the other breeds, will be at
tanned by testing for butter-fat pro-
ductiOn as we'll as for tuberculosis,
the careful selection of herd sires, and
the systematic elimination of all in
feriOr animals in the various herds
scattered over the eastern shore. At
the field meeting held at the Caulk
farm last Thursday, June a, ten men,
bers were secured for this new organ
ization, and efforts will be made to
increase this membership just as rap
idly as time and circumstances will
permit for the expansion of interests
in this breed of dairy cattle. Any
person owning one or more Ayrshires
may become a member of this asso-
citation upon payment of dues and the
signing of the Constitution and By
Laws as have been heretofore adopt
ed. The membership fee for the
year 1925 was set at one dollar, but
may be increased as the organization
develops and enters into the variou.
