secIusion of Maple Bluff farm, Mrs.
Robert M. LaFollette announced to-
day that she would not become can
didate for the senate seat made va
cant by the death of her husband,

eldest son, Robert M. LaFollette, Jr.,
shortly will announce himself as a
candidate for the unexpired term that
runs until 1928.
In progressive circles young LaFol-
lette's candidacy has been accepted
as a fact for several weeks. A public

FIND REACTION
IN UNION RANKS
Fight Capitalist Talk at
Workers Forum
BY JESSE A. kEE5LE
(Worker correspondent)

TOPEKA, Kan, July 81 attended
the Industrial Council last meeting
and it made me sick of heart but
came away feeling thankful for few
things, that some thing had not been
settled, so opportunities were still
open.
No speakers had been chosen for
Labor Day The reactionary committee
had asked Gov Reed of Mo. and Beer
rus jenkins of the Kansas City Jour
nal Potst to speak They had declined,
thank god, so there is still chance
of getting in real speaker.
The open forum was discussed and
adopted but the forum committee is
not very promising. One is labor
faker not much brains of his own
but he is advised by the whole exploit
ting bunch, so he can disrupt many
moves for progress.
Another member is a lady, complet-
ely under church chloroform. Not much
head of her own but easily influenced.
The third member is an old work
er in the socialist party. Now Com
munist, shrewd thinker but he is
old and feeble and been in the fight
so long that he is somewhat discourag-
ed.
Those who opposed forum idea were
afraid it would become socialist or
ganization. 1t will be more than that
if we can make it.
A movement was started to form
study club from A. F. of L. Head
quarters. Our study clubs are for
cling the old A. F. of. L. to get busy
and give them a substitute.

CONVENTION OF n
DISPATCHERS IN [
PEACEFUL CONF ABB
Intends to Enter the
Banking Business
BY CARL HAEssLER
Federated Press)

Rejoicing their general officers
and reaching decisions with practical
unanimity, the American Train Dis
patchers' Association closed its 9Th
general assembly in Chicago the end
of July. The union was organized in
Spokane in 1917. President J. G.
Luhrsen and acknowledgements C. L..
Darling have served since fits incep-
ton. Their new term is for years. /
The convention, attended by 80 vot-
ing delegates and 100 others, voted
for a widow and orphan death benefit
fund. The benefit will begin with $500
when there are 300 members interest
ed and will rise 81 with each addi-
tional member Authority to enter
the labor banking field was also voted.
On the political field the resolution Of
the previous biennial convention to
affiliate with the conference for pro-
gressive political action was sustained
against dissenting votes.
Against Speeding Up.
The membership has held its own
and the financial condition has i'm
proved despite the determined and
ingenious attempts of the railway COM
panies to undermine the association
by company unions. The A. I. d. A.
has a considerable majority of the
5000 working train dispatchers in the
country and its net financial worth
is 6,739.1O. Dues are $40 a year.
Speeding up of dispatchers. in com
mon with all other rail employees, is
reflected in a resolution of protest
demanding federal, state and com
pany action to correct it in the in
terest Of train safety. Dispatchers
now have to deliver their own orders
by telephone in many cases where
railroad telegraphers once did the
work. They have to protecs the rear
of trains in place of fiagmen They
have to work too much territory, man
too many circuits, handle too many
train sheets and are held responsible
for the accuracy of clearance cards.
All these practices are condemned as
hazardous, unnecessary and unsafe.
President E. J Manion of the Or
der of Railroad Telegraphers has also
made many protests against the
hazards and hardships of train dis
patching by telephone instead Of by
telegraph.

In the food department of one of the

Khan is nearly in complete control.
Some OF the help have been fired

can be done.
"Work" Is Only Cry.
In some of the other stores you
have a horde of overseers who drive
