Urbana Daily Courier and The Daily
Illini for a generous contribution Of
their news columns TO &c convention.
The Review realizes, probably more
than the average Union workman, the
difficulties under which newspapers
labor in covering such a convention.
So hurriedly is the gathering Of such
news that some important phases are
sure to be sighted, but to the extent
that the daily press of Champaign
Urbana contributed to the success OF
the convention the entire Twin City
Federation of Labor extends the edi'
tors and their assistants a vote Of
thanks.
In several noteworthy instances
metropolitan newspapers ran true td
form in mis-representing the action oil
the convention. This was expected II
view of the previous attitude of such
papers TO Organized Labor, and then
attitude in this convention was nc
surprise. But the mere fact that they
condescended to send special report
ers to the state gathering of Organ
lied workmen is a tribute to our in
huence.

EMPLOYE STOCK OWNERSHIP

The latest achievement Of the Fed
eral Trade Commi sion is to order the
International Shoe Company to dlyest
itself of its McElwain properties. The
McElwain Company was on the verge
of bankruptcy. 1t owed fifteen mil
lions and could get neither new loans
nor more capital. Enforced lqulda-
ton would have shaken the whole shoe
industry.
The International Shoe Company
could have purchased the assets OF
the company. But as the Wall Street
journal announces, the employees OF
| the company were substantial owners
of the second preferred and common
stock. The sale of assets would have
realized only enough to pay the hold
ers of the first preferred stock. The
employees would have lost their saw
ings. Realizing what the consequences
would have been on the morale of the
working force, the International al
first refused to buy them. Later II
sold its own stock to Canadian tlnan-
cial interests and bought the securities
of the company. The employe share
holders were given an option on in
ternational stocks or cash.
The experience of these employe
owners is our chief concern. The
problem of investments is a serious
one for wage earners. A worker who
puts his savings in stocks of the firm
that employs him is taking a long
chance. 1t makes problem for the
owners also.
Would a labor investment or holding
company be a desirable solution p

Action of the Illinois State Conven-
ton of the Federation Of Labor in ap-
proving the report Of the Joint Labor
Legislative Board, which has gone on
record as recommending reappof-
tionment of the state on the basis OF
population, was true to the principles
of Labor
True the down-state does not APP
pear to want the constitution enforced
in this respect. 1t has its reasons
perhaps, and so far the reasons are
only implied. But that the senators
and representatives from the rural
communities have been intentionally
tardy in not allowing the centers Of
population their rightful number of
representatives in the general assem-
bly, is so evident that the delay ap-
pears to be intentional, and not as we
might suppose, sidetracked for more
important business.
Perhaps Labor would not have seen
fit to take such action were it not for
the fact that rural representatives
and senators no the whole have in
times past expressed their unfriend-
illness for Organized Labor, while
those from the large centers Of popu-
lation have almost unanimously en-
dorsed Labor legislation. The fact
remains that Labor is best supported
in the general assembly by legisla-
tors from the cities where the larger
number of Union men are employed.
Thus is the reason for the state con-
vention's action explained.
Perhaps the question would not have
been presented at the convention at
all if Labor felt that it could count
on the support of rural legislators.
When the farmer shows the friend
illness for Organized Labor that is our
just due they will not want for cour-
tesy in return.
In fact the convention went on

TIE speech of President John II.
Walker in which he pronounced the
state convention the best meeting Of
the kind he had ever attended, con
tanned a fitting tribute to Organized
Labor in Illinois.
President Walker is too honest to
make such a statement in a spirit Of
nattery, and he is too sincere and
practical to devote a single sentence
to IDLE compliment just to make his
hearers feel good.
Everyone who attended the conven-
ton no doubt had the same opinion.
1t would have been difficult for a dele
gate to think otherwise, unless he
came here with particular axe to
grind and failed to grind it. A few
were disappointed in not being able
90 swing the convention in line with
their purely selfish purposes
The convention refused to be
stampedcd into u party movement the
chief purpose of which was to split
Organized Labor in the state. They
refused to rehash the argument on
the wet and dry question further than
to endorse previous action of the
American Federation of Labor, Upon
both these questions Union men have
a wide latitude Of personal opinion,
unhampered by state or national poll
cies. This is as it should be. If we
are to create a special Labor party
which IS TO become the cureall of every
social disease and line Organized
Labor up with every reform move
ment conceived in the nation we might
as well organize workingman's
church and declare that all members
of Organized Labor shall henceforth
be of one ecclesiastical mind. One
such departure from the fundamental
principles Of Labor would be as i'm
practical as another.
The convention was great in that
the delegates showed intelligence
enough not to respond to clap-trap
schemes conceived by Missionaries, or
fostered BY our enemies for the sake
Of creating dissention.
President Walker gave the delegates
credit for being the most intelligent
body of men he had ever met with in
the history of his association with
Trade Unionism. The compliment was
merited or he would not have made it.
The daily press came in for polite
scoring by several delegates who de-
elared they had been misquoted in
the metropolitan papers; but it is
gratifying to Organized Labor in the
Twin Cities to note that neither the
Champaign nor Urbana papers suf-
fered this humiliation. Labor, on the
whole, thanks the News-Gazette, the

Our Washington Letter
KEEPING THE MILK
FLOW DURING SUMMER

One of the most important fac
tors in the economical production OF
milk is that of maintaining a good
milk flow throughout most of the
lactating period. Many cows will
produce a large flow of milk for a
short period following calving. But
owing to faulty feeding and man.
agement the production is SO reduc-
ed that the cost of feed for the
year may be in excess Of the value
of the product. Oftentimes a COW
of more limited capacity will
have a bigger record at the close
of the year, because its production
was more nearly maintained by
careful management.
August and September seen to
be the hardest months of the year
to keep up the milk flow, due to
the hot weather, flies and dry pas
ture. If the production of the COWS
that freshen during the spring and
summer months is maintained thru
out August and September, much is
accomplished toward a good years
record. Special effort, therefore,
should be made to avoid the usual
drop at this season of the year.
1t is poor policy to wait until the
drop has occurred before taking ac-
ton. One of the best means for
preventing it is to supplement the
dry pastures with freshly cut feeds,
such as green alfalfa, clover and
corn. These soiling crops may be
fed from racks in the yard, or pre-
ferably in the barn, where the COW
may be protected from the hot sun
and the flies. Some dairymen find
it practical to fence off a portion
of the meadows, or the cornfield,
for their dairy herd. Others find
it advantageous to feed a little more
grain through this period. The
principal thing is to avoid the drop
and thus increase the total produc-
ton for the year.

Successful Community
Picnic at Culbertson

picnics of the year was held by the

son Ferry last Sunday. After a
short talk by the county agent in
which he discussed briefly the VAL

the status Of such in Roosevelt

sports was carried out by the COM
mittee in charge. The Pioneer men
proved to be the best in the tug-of-
war but the Lanark women out did
the Pioneer women in the ladies'
pulling contest; however, there is
a rumor that a Ford assisted the
latter in their victory.
Lou Schow, Otto Waldow, Paul
Wagner and VIM. Mcbride were ac-

made the program a success while

assisted materially. In addition to
