CONVENTION DELEGATES
SEE FIRST SHOWING OF
NEW LABOR MOVIE

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Oct. g.
Labor's motion picture, which will
play an important leading part in the
organization, educational and union
label campaign of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and Union Label
Trades Department, was given it's first
exhibition before the delegates of the
A. F. of L. convention here.
All were enthusiastic over the story
told by the picture. 1t is trade union
story of labor's struggles, its sacri-
fices, its hopes and its successes. In
terwoven in the evolution of the wage
earners from slavery before the Chris
tian era to their present condition of
organization is love story that grew
out of the hardships in sweatshops.
"The picture will be a great sue
cess" said Secretary Manning Of the
Union Label Trades Department.
"There is no doubt that it will accom-
plish the purpose for which it was
produced. The actors in this great
drama of life never did a better piece
of work, their acting being true to the
characters they portray"
1t is expected that the first showing
of the picture will be November /
simultaneously in five different Sec
tions of the country.
News of the picture has reached
around the world. The labor papers
of England, France, Belgium, Ger
many, Italy, Australia and New Zea-
land have referred to it in glowing
terms.
The members of the executive board
of the Union Label Trades Depart
ment who with Secretary Morrison
gave final approval to the picture are
as follows: President, ]. w. Hays;
vice presidents, Jacob Fischer, G. W.
Perkins, Matthew Woll, Chas. L. Baine
and Joseph 0bergfell; secretary, John
]. Manning.

The annual convention of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor convenes at
Atlantic City the first two weeks in
October, this year.
For nearly half a century these
meetings of representatives of the
workers have been held. Each year
presents new problems to be solved.
This year is no exception to rule
that will continue as long as free men
insist on controlling their lives, Of
governing themselves.
Under autocracy men accept orders.
They still the voice of protest.
In a democratic movement the op-
posite is true.
Our trade unions are open forums.
They only ask that workers adhere
to the principle of organized labor and
its purpose to make tomorrow bet
ter day.
Our unions are frankly opportunis-
tic. They are not interested in blue
print programs or world upheavals.
They scott at the theory that social
orders can be manufactured.
They know that every organism is
subject to the law of change, and they
adjust themselves to that process.
= They believe that the worker who
does not control his life, who labors
under dangerous conditions, who is de-
MED living standard, is not equipped
to take the first step as an American
citizen.
The unions are actualities. They
take the world as it is. They do not
fool themselves nor delude the unor-
eanized that sudden changes will helI

Gertrude M. McNally, newly elect
ed secretary-treasurer of the National
Federation Of Federal Employees.
Miss McNally has been in the trade
union movement since 1909, the Wo-
mems Union of the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing being chartered by
the American Federation of Labor as
a federal union in March of that year.
She was its first secretary and has
continued in that position up to the
present time. In 1918 the Women's
Union Of the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing affiliated with the Nationl
Federation of Federal Employees, and
in July of that year Miss McNally was
employed as an organizer for the Fed
GRAFTON. In September, 1919, she was
elected as an organizer for the Fed
Grafton, and at the Federation's recent
Boston convention was elected secre-
tary- treasurer. She has also held,
for some time, the position of vice
president of the Maryland State and
District of Columbia Federation of
Labor, and is in charge of the work
of the women in industry of the Mary
land league Of Women voters.

understanding, but both sides at pres

from their original attitudes.
The striking men have almost unan-
imously spurned efforts of the 1. w.

attracting less than 25 persons. The

the largest labor delegation ever to
visit the United States from. abroad,
brought fraternal greeting from the

Are Here To Study.
The delegation, consisting of II off :
cials of the most important German
labor organizations, are here to study
American economic life, its big in
dustries, how well workers are organ
lied, the standard of wages and the
hours and working conditions. They
are to make first hand study, each

cerned.

him. The trade unionist tells him If
he does his part his development will
be a step in conformity with evolu-
tionary forces.
The trade unionist has his day
dreams. He longs for better day,
for brotherhood and universal peace,
but his world experience has forced
him not to ignore the practical.
He welcomes music, poetry and art.
But these must not detract from the
outstanding fact-that the first essen
tial is to organize the workers, to diff
fuse education, to raise living stand
ards.
The list of organized labor's gains is
unequalled by any other institution.
It's outstanding triumph is the abol-
ition of autocracy in industry.
Through it wage earners for the first
secured voice in their work condi-
tions.
Generally speaking, the union has
swept the hat-in-hand worker off the
industrial map. This type exists in
certain industries, but even these have
been forced to make concessions to
the spirit of the age by forming COM
| pany unions.
Collective bargaining means more
than a dispute over labor's share in
production. It means independence,
more opportunity to consider social
and political questions. It bulls for
democracy.

Public Ownership.
I am a public ownership advocate,

A city like Aberdeen, with its bridges,
rivers, filled streets, dredged harbor,
port, etc, is so situated, as seaport,
that it will always have heavier ex-
penses to keep the public affairs
going, and keep up with growth and
developments for the indefinite fut-
ure, and there will be little or no
lowering of taxes to the average cit
izen, unless we, as a city, make up
our minds to own and operate, as fast
as we can possibly obtain through
proper procedure, every money MAX

WOMEN'S UNION MADE
CLOTHING GETS BOOST
At NEW YORK EXHIBIT

NEW YORK CITY, Oct. S.-The
cause of sanitary shops and modern
working conditions in the unioniEed
women's garment industry received
strong support as the result of the re-
markable exhibit of union-made gar
ments bearing the Prosanis label at
the Fourth , Annual Exposition of
Women's Arts and Industry at the
Commodore Hotel.
Unhealthy and demoralizing condi-
toins as they existed in the old-time
sweatshops which the Join Board of
Sanitay Control has been eble to re-
duce and against the return of which
it is now fighting, were graphically
shown. A living picture of typical
swatshop, showing the women gar
ment workers toiling over garments
that later went into the Fifth Avenue
shops was given by actors of the
"Garrick Gaeities." The special dam
ger of the spread of tuberculosis by
the purchase of this clothing was en-
phasized.
/ Miss Lynn Fontaine, the star of
"Arms and the Man." wore one of the
union-made gowns, with its small
Prosanis label to show it was made
under healthful conditions by union
workers.

Public Sentiment in Favor of

Hope of a settlement of
1900 mill employees before
Monday was seen today
when J. M. Phillips, media
tor, announced that three of
the five mills affected seem
favOrably disposed toward
granting the so cents per day
increase. The Donovan mills
are the only ones that have
not expressed a favorable
attitude, but Mr.. Phillips
feels that William Donovan,

he returns from a business

Mr.. Phillips said that local

generally approve the stand
Of the strikers, as they feel
that the strikers are very
reasonable in their demands,
asking only what many mills
are already paying their

Despite the activities Of an arbitra-
ton committee headed by j. M. Phil
lips, local attorney, and a civic COM
mittee of three, the strike of 1900
mill workers remains at a deadlockcd
situation today. The men are stand
ing firm to their original demand for
flat increase of so cents per day,
with a minimum of $3.75 per day.
Local sentiment seems to b. - back
Of the strikers, w. J. Patterson, local
banker, yesterday declaring that the
workers and employers must reach an
amicable understanding and keep a
spirit of cooperation. He pointed out
that the present strike is mainly a
condition of mistrust and misunder-
standing.
Owners of various Aberdeen and
Hoquiam mills that pay the scale de-
manded by the striking workers of
five Aberdeen mills have voiced opin-
ions to the effect that the affected
mill owners should pay the increase.
One prominent mill owner advised the
strikers to check up on the income tax
returns of their employers as a means
Of substantiating their pleas that they
cannot afford to meet the demands.
A civic committee composed of E. c.
Finch, local capitalist and philanthro-
pist, Phillip S. Locke, realtor, and Ed

to aid Mr. Phillips in conferring with
the mill owners. Mr.. Phillips also is

Hylan Hitting the Bumps.

Mayor Hylan's campaign for renorn.
ination in Greater New York, begun
months before the election, is hitting
known that Gov. Smith opposes the
mayor for a third term, and that Tam
many is disinclined to stand for him
again. 1t is known that William Ran
dolph Hearst, who once himself as
pired to the mayoralty and actually
claimed election, though refused the
Office, is strongly backing the mayor
for another go Of four years in the
City Hall. The mayor pitches his
claim upon the issue that he has been
instrumental in maintaining a scent
fare for the people against the de-
mands of the interests" that seek a
higher rate.
Now comes a revelation that is de-
cidedly embarrassing to the mayor.
An investigation is in progress by the
city controller regarding the relations
of a certain security bonding firm with
the contractors for municipal work. It
firm, closely allied to the Hylan fam
lily. have been getting an undue share
Of the business, have, in fact. been en-
Joying virtual monopoly. Contractors >
have testified to the application Of
pressure TO compel them to take out
their bonds with this concern. 1t
would appear that bidders who did not
sign up in advance with it failed to
receive awards, though they were the
lowest in the competition. Heretofore
the mayor has denied any connection
whatever with the bonding company
or its activities.
1t has now been brought forth,
through the production of vouchers.
that messages have been constantly
passing between the mayors Office and
the offices of the bonding company
Slips for messenger service, paid for
by the city, have been brought forth,
ard all that the mayor can say Is that
he never knew anything about such
communications. But there stands the
record, Of a constant flow Of messages
between the executive Offices and the
offices of a private bonding company,
with which members Of the mayors
family are associated, and the signifi-
cant fact that bidders for public work
who would not hook up with this par
tieular bonding company did not get
contracts.
1t appears that in the push for bust.
ness the favored bonding company
crowded out certain others, whose
members are also connected with
prominent political families, influential
in Tammany. Perhaps the discrimina-
ton has something to do with the pres
ent Tammany disinclination to let
Mayor Hylan run again. At any rate,
the situation is giving concern to the
mayors supporters. And the mayor
atty fight is only one Of the factors In
the greater political situation affecting
the fortunes Of New York States chief
executive.

where Solomon flew on a magic carpet
with birds flying above and beasts
marching below and overcame an
army Of disobedient genii aided in the
campaign by wild beasts, vicious birds
and reptiles. Talib came to the City OF
Brass. where the walls were 80 cubits
or 120 feet high, found everybody dead
in the city and annexed loads Of such
treasure as bags Of musk. ambergris,
aloeswood, pearls and jacinths. You
recall that a black King ordered divers
to bring up brass. bottles containing,

Brass Jars and Genii.

The Oriental School Of Archaeology
hopes to discover the ruins Of the city
referred to in Arab folklore as the
home Of Jim, sirens and other evil
Geniuses. That is the substance Of a
dispatch from Tunis. which says that
an Arab sponge fisherman returned to
Tunis with a rare vase. and said that
diving for sponges near the Island of
Djerba he saw the ruins of an an
cient city.
In book Of world renown in which
most young readers had deep faith the
matter Of evil genii imprisoned in
brass vases was discussed at length.
Once a f1sherman's net brought up
copper vessel, and when the seal was
broken cloud of smoke covered the
seacoast and took the shape Of
genie twice as big as two giants. 1t
will be remembered that this genie led
the fisherman to a lake between four
mountain tops, where the fisherman
caught four fish, one white, one blue,
one red and one yellow, and took them
10 d Suitdll not Tar away. w hen the
Sultan's cook began to fry the fish the
kitchen wall parted and a lovely
Egyptian woman appeared and talked
with the fish. You remember that the
Sultan made inquiries Of the fisher
man, that he had never heard of the
lake, and that going to seek the col
ored fish he entered a palace of black
marble where he found a being, human
from the waist up and black marble
from the waist down, groaning. You
remember that this wretched mans
wife had studied magic with a black
slave, had made her husband half
man, half-marble and then kept him
alive by magic. This half-marble man
was King Of the Black Isles, and
through this brass-pot genie he was
delivered.
A more impressive and just as
authentic account Of these genie vases
Is found in the story of the City Of
Brass. 1t eppears that Abdelmelick, a
King in Syria, having heard that Sol
omon had imprisoned disobedient genu,
