The slavery days of antiquity are
recalled by "Labor's Reward the
moving picture being shown in the
various cities in the organization and
education campaign of the Union
Label Trades Department and the
American Federation of Labor.
In those times slavery of the work
ers was practically universal. The
picture herewith shown represents an
incident of many that were continually
occurring. A beautiful white woman
is placed on the auction block and her
owner expatiates on her charms in
order TO obtain as much silver for her
as possible. Anyone seeing the pic
ture can imagine just what he is say
ing. He is telling how much work
she can do in a day, and the shortest
workday in those times was from day
light to darkness. He seems to have

THE ILLINOIS
LABOR PRESS

To All Central Bodies and Local I'm
ions of Organized labor In Illinois.
Greeting:
Upon the support which the mem
bers of organized labor in Illinois will
give to the legitimate labor papers
| published in the state will depend the
extent To which other newspapers will
give fair publicity To the activities
Of the trade unionists. That is one
very important reason why you should
support the legitimate labor paper of
your locality, or, If no such paper
exists, then you should join with other
trade unionists of your community In
establishing one.
Newspapers can not exist without
your patronage. If you give proper
support to the labor papers, the pro-
prietofs of other newspapers will
quickly realize you do so because the
labor press gives you fair publicity.
The result will be TO set in motion
certain laws of competition. In other
words, the owners of such other news
papers will find il necessary, then, IN
order TO hold your patronage, to open
their columns for an honst discussion
of the problems in which organized
labor is interested, By supporting
your press, therefore, you can bring
about better treatment from all other
sections of the press.
In many Illinois localities, there are
local labor papers owned or officially
endorsed by the local central body.
These papers merit not only your
subscription but your active help IN
securing larger circulation among all
classes of citizens in the community.
As the circulation grows the paper
itself is sure To improve because Of
the greater facilities which will be
at the disposal Of the editor due TO
the enlarged income Of the paper
We are bringing this matter TO your
attention in accord with the 'instruc-
tons of the Champagn-Urbana con
vention Of the Illinois State Federation
of Labor at which the delegate, by
unanimous vote, recognized the great
need for giving the fullest possible de
gree of encouragement TO the leRill-
mate labor press Of the state.
We earnestly hope all local unions
and central bodies will act in accord

Q.-What is the attitude of organ.
lied labor on the proposal of an Ohio
Congressman to give President Cool
idge full power 10 reorganize Govern
ment departments?
The Executive Council Of the
American Federation of Labor, at its
last meeting, voted u oppose the pro-
posal. The Council declared that
schemes to take away the powers Of
Congress and give them to the Presi-
dent are part of the propaganda to
discredit Congress in order to extend
the powers of the Chief Executive.
Q.-lt has been asserted that Amer
lean workers have shorter work day
than ever before. Is this true!
A.-Figures made public by the
United States Department of Labor
show that working time in a week has
been gradually decreasing and that
the work day of organized toilers is
shorter than ever before in the his
tory of the nation. The Government
investigation establishes the fact that
the organized American worker has
more leisure time than any other in
the world.

PLEAS FOR PARDON

Isn't it possible to get from read
ing the pleas before the Governor
and Council for pardons the impress
sion that if these pleas be true then
is the administration of justice in
THIS State Of Maine disgraceful? We
don't believe it is disgraceful.
Isn't it also possible to get the i'm
preston that for every drunken au
tomobilist sent to Jail there is always
someone to go before the Governor
and Council and ask for his pardon
If this be because of friendship and
not for pay then are there some good
people in Jail for drunken driving
Doubtless there are, but surely not
all of them come under that head.
It is gratifying to note that the
Governor and Council evidently are
impressed with the idea that the
courts Of Maine have been function
ing fairly we'll with respect to GRIM
inalS.
