 The council went on record as sup porting the postal workers in their appeal for increased pay, the vote be- ing unanimous. It was decided, how ever, that the increase needed for the boost in wages should not come by in creasing the second class mail rates.

share the view of the National Indus trial Council that the Republican vic tories mean that reaction is to reign. In Congress the heartening of the re- actionaries is heralded by the passage | in the Senate of the Underwood Muscle Shoals bill, opposed by the Senate rogressives, and the uphold ing of President Coolidge's veto of the bill raising the pay of postal workers.
 Little in the way of progressive leg islation has been proposed in the House and there appears small chance that anything of practical value to the farmers and industrial workers will be done at this session. The Howell -BarRley railroad labor bill will not be pushed and apparently there is good chance that other progressive bills will be blocked.
 Reports from state legislatures tell of the sam ereactionary, "stand-pat' policy. The reactionaries are concen- trating their fight against the hi1Cd Labor Amendment and are resorting to a campaign of mendacity almost without parallel in this country to de- feat the measure.
 Labor men who know that Rome was not built in a day" are not at all discouraged over the outlook. They realize that to enact progressive leg is1ation entails educational campaigns lasting years and that the foundation for progress must be laid by the hard est kind of work. They point out that the people are getting precisely what they voted for but express confidence that the reactionary wave has spent its force and that progressive principles are once more on the ascendent. Ii is only a question of time, they say when the people will have enough oi standing still and will demand that government once more move forward in harmony with the trend of the i times.

FANS OF UNION PRINTERS
 FILL SOUL OF "OPEN SHOP"
 ADVOCATE WITH BITTER WOE

MT. Tufts agitated over the increas- ing use of the union label on printed matter, which has been cultivated by a hard and systematic label campaign carried on by the printing trades unions. MT. Tufts had the following to say on the subject in a confidential circular letter mailed t9 pon-union em- ploying printers:
 Shocked to See Label Everywhere
 While riding on the elevated rail- road I noticed that their own adver- tisement, selling their bonds, very prominently displays the union label I also heard that the letter head of the
The Connecticut labor news., 1925-01-31

American Red Cross appealing for funds carried the label; also that downtown bank had the label on all pay roll checks. 1 will appreciate it if you as well as the members of your family will forward to us printing that bears the label from firms that are appealing to the general public for their business. I believe we can create good impression with the buyer If this matter is presented to him in the right way"
 MT. Tufts also warns the non-union employers to be careful to watch whom they employ at this time and to guard the blacklist. He says Everyone should be extremely care full al this time about hiring new men, Make sure of their records. While you are doing this, don't forget to keep track of your present employes-tne unions are very active. Keep strangers out of your plant unless they are cleared with permission from this office Take all practical precautions. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.'"
 The above excerpts are taken from confidential circular letters which have fallen into the hands of E. A. Patzke, president of Chicago Typographical Union Mo- 16.
 Fake Open Shop" Directory Issued
 "Secretary Tufts has published an alleged open shop directory, purporting to list the open shop printers and allied trades" said President Patzke to International Labor News Service, "Tufts' directory Is the worst kind of fake. We have gone carefully over this directory and have found over 100 union composing rooms listed as being manned by rats, and there are about 40 union pressrooms declared to be scab. Union binderies and union electrotyping plants also are listed in this rat directory.
 When we directed hte attention of union employers to this fake listing in Tufts fake rat directory they became indignant, declared that they were un- aware of even the existence of such a directory and took immediate steps to compel Tufts to discontinue the use of their firm names in this misleading and untruthful manner.
 Listing Padded, Patzke Charges
 If Tufts can point to exceed three employing printers in his organization who employ as many as 25 men in their composing rooms, I'll eat one of his directories continued President Patzke. "The listing looks formidable but it is outrageously padded. There are scores of them which are only bed room or cellar print shops, which the owner operates unaided by other help at night or on Sundays and holidays lwhen not engaged at his regular en- ployment.
 Forty printing offices have. been llnionized since the beginning of the organizing campaign, and there are many more prospects in sight"
