Parties Don't Cause
Good or Bad Times

New York, July NO political
party is responsible for good times
or bad times, says c. +. Hughes
financial authority writing in the
New York World.
The notion that prosperity can be
traced to politics, Mr. Hughes says,
has been proved to have not the
slightest foundation; it has merely
gained its wide acknowledgment
through repetition.
The two big political parties have
an equal split of good and bad times
to their account.
"If the half years developments IN
business have emphasized anything It
is that no political party has a mon
opoly on prosperity. The year was
ushered in with exaggerated opnm-
ism, based on the election result. IN
dustrv quickly reached a state OF over
production in many branches and has
ianguished in all but few lines.
Trade, in the main, has been dlSap-
pointing" hi
Mr.. Hughes reputation Of TINS
theory has often been recorded be
fore. but many wage earners ana
farmers will refuse as usual, TO lace
facts in future campaigns. instead,
they will cheer at the prospect OF good
times some office seeker solemi'is
predicts.

Illionis Club Women Hope
For Child Labor Victory
at Next Legislative Session

BY International Labor News Service,
Chicago. July 7.--Gfatiheation that
the Child Labor Amendment was not
turned down by the Illinois Legisla-
ture, recently adjourned, was eN-
pressed at a meeting of the joint com.
mittee representing 80 Illinois wom-
ems organizations.
The hope was expressed that the
amendment would be ratified at the
next session, and the continued sup
port of Illinois club women Wa
pledged.
Governor Len Small submitted the
amendment TO the Legislature several
months ago, but il was not reported
out of committee. This was IN COM
pliance with the wishes OF representa-
tives of the woinen's organizations,
who feared to risk vote on the
amendment at the 1925 session, par.
ticularly after sufficient number OF
State Legislatures had turned II down
to make ratification impossible tins
year.
The above outcome was forecast by
International Labor News Service
last Month, when the executive story
was published telling of the action
taken by the women's organizations
in reference to the matter and con
currenee therein by the executive
board of the Illinois State Federation

until 1927. when a vigorods fight for

Firm Cited BY Federal
Board for Making
False Union Claim

Washington, July 7,--If a firm
wrongfully advertiSes that its goods
are union made II must answer to the
federal trade commission for using
unfair methods in competition.
The commission established this
precedent when it ordered the non-
union Bell cap company Of New York
city to show cause why it should not
be ordered to cease this misleading
practice The partners Of this firm,
doing business under a company name,
made affidavit that they had ceased
using the term. While no further
action was taken by the commission,
its action is a notice to business men
that they must not exploit the trade
union sentiment among organized
workers and sympathizers.

Seamen's Tribute
To Fighting Bob
BY VICTOR A. OLANDER
Intslrnall Seamen's Union of America

Seafating men on all the seven
seas and in the ports of every nation
mourn the passing of Robert Marion
LaFollette.
1t was LaFollette who brought to
them the great gift of freedom.
1t was through LaFollette that for
them the soil of America became holy
ground, consecfated to human liberty,
the one place on earth where seamen
are free men,.
Under the American flag, because
LaFollette lived and fought their
battle, the men who go down to the
sea in ships have equality before the
law with all other men.
The famous LaFollette seamen's
act will ultimately give to America
as firm place upon the seas as the
name LaFollette now has in the hearts
and minds of seamen.
Fighting Bob" LaFollette has
passed on, yet, because of his deeds
of daring rectitude," he lives and al
ways will live.

IN resolutions presented 10 Chief jus
tieo Green by attorneys who ask that
Judge Raulston be removed as trial
jugde when Prof. Scopes Is tried for

The resolutions charge that Judge
Raulstou allowed the Scopes indict-
meut 70 be drawn illegally 10 prevent
anyO tber city from conducting the
trial under the law, thereby taking
the publicity from Dayton.
Scopes was indicted by special ses.
sion Of the grand jury which a judge
may call, according 10 statute, only
in an emergency. Lawyers make the
point that the Scopes oifense Is
misdemeanor, and that this does not
constitute an emergency. The legal
30 days notice required for a special
session was not given. If all legal
requirements were fulfilled, these
lawyers say, Scopes could not have
been indicted until August.
Judge Ranlston's opponents also
charge him with expressing opinions
Of the trial, and publicly declaring
that he favors the law.
