Labor S Picture
Sweeping Nation

Washinton-The organizing and
educational campaign of the A. F. of
L. and Union Label Trades depart
ment is proving so successful that two
additional units have been put on the
road. This makes seven moving pic
lures of "Labor's Reward" that are
now touring the country.
"a binding storm in Decatur, ILL.,,
broke our record for crowded houses
and enthusiastic audiences" said
John j. Manning, secretary-treasurer
of the Union Label Trades depart
ment.
"This campaign is an extension of
organized labor's constant effort to
organize and educate, to develop a
public opinion, to acquaint all the
people with the aims and ideals Of
trade unionism," said Frank Morri-
son, secretary of the A. F. of L.
"Use of the union label is insepa-
rablv connected with collective bar
gaining. If workers are denied the
right to organize there can be no un-
ion label. The label is not only a
guarantee of fair working conditions,
but it is the emblem of right rela-
tions in industry"

Pres. Coolidge
Not Negligent on
Enforcement Act
Recent Appointment Evidences
His Intention to Act
Fair to All

Washington-The attack of the
United States Committee for Prohi-
bition Enforcement upon President
Coolidge for alleged negligence in
law enforcement fails utterly to carry
conviction when the facts are consid
cred.
II any evidence was needed to prove
the untruthful nature of this charge.
1T can be found in the appointment by
The President of General Lincoln &.
Andrews at the head of the enforce
ment machinery, in lieu of former
Commissioner Haynes, the pet of the
Anti-Saloon League
General Andrews is a man of the
highest character and standing. with
an honorable record in the military
service of the United States. He will.
at all times and under all conditions
fulfill the obligations of his oath of
office. Nobody can question his sim
cerity nor the sincerity of the man
who appointed him to his responsible
position.
The drys, in this matter, are far
from coming into court with clean
hands. 1t will be recalled that they
endorsed for reelection Congressman
Langley, even when he was under in
dlctment for bootlegging activities. In
other. words, their idea of a good cit
lzen is a convict who drinks, but who
votes the way they want him to.
Further comment is superfIuous.
The announcement of the Committee
for Prohibition Enforcement will, we
predict, completely destroy the al
ready shaken confidence of the gen
eral public in the prohibition expert
ment.

Christmas Dollars

Newark, like a good many
other cities of the central west,
is experiencing an intensive
drive by mail order houses and
by house to house peddlers for
Christmas business.
This should cause people to
think a little and then resol. c to
spend their Christmas. dollars
with our home merchants. We
do not mean that you should pay
local shop keepers more for ar
ticles which can be purchase!
cheaper elsewhere, but you
should give our local stores ev-
cry opportunity to get the
Christmas trade of the city.
These merchants live In
Newark. They pay taxes and
employ Newark labor. Their
every interest is here. They
represent a great part of our
community. Sending our dollars
to out of town merchants is just
as disastrous to home merchants
as the importation of labor is to
our home Workmen.
Men in business have been
carrying a tremendous load for
more than year due to a wide
spread business depression, but
we do hope that the Christmas
dollars which are coming forth
will find their way to our good
merchants and not be shipped
away to mail order houses or
given to itinerant peddlers.

"Cannonism" Is Revived in House;
Committees Can Bury Legislation

Washington - The convening of
congress on Monday, December 7, was
marked by two distinct policies by
the administration party in the house
and senate In the latter body every
effort was made to placate independ-
ents within it's ranks, while in the
house bricks were substituted for
boquets.
Immediately following the election
Ct Mr. Longworth as speaker, the
house majority jammed through a
resolution that re-establishes Cannon
ism and makes it possible for COM
mittees to "bury" legislation dis
tasteful to the administration.
At the last session of congress the
house adopted a resolution that made
it possible for $50 members to take
Legislation out of the hands of COM
lnittee and bring it on the floor of the
house for action. This has been re-
pealed by the new house in a resolu
ton which provides that 218 sigma

Absentee Landlords
Exploit Porto Rico

Washington, D. C. - Conforming
with resolution passed by the last
A. F. of L. convention, President
Green has memorialized President
Coolidge on conditions in Porto Rico.
the convention declared that Porto
Rico is rapidly becoming the property
of a few financial and business cor
porations that have taken possession
of the island in violation of its or
ganic act, passed by the United States
congress.
AS a result of this concentration by
absentee landlords, the bulk of the
profits produced by Porto Rican lab
orers are taken out of the island. The
masses are left suffering in poverty
and industrial oppression.
The convention declared in favor of
commission that will honestly in
vestigate Porto Rico. This commits
sion, it was stated, should be compos-
ed of men who will go to the heart
of things and not-as several commits
sions have done in the past-accept
courtesies and superficial official
declarations as sufficient evidence up
on which to base conclusions and
recommendations

mittee. These signatures must be
forthcoming three times and then only
with the result of putting on the cal
endar the measure to be taken frora

the bill is subject to all sorts of par

The return to the rule when Joe
Cannon was speaker was not secured
without fight, as it passed by ma
Jority of only IL votes, % Republicans
and five independents joining with
the minority party in opposition
The resolution was voted on before
committees were announced. 1t is
stated that fear of being ignored on
committee assignments held enough
members in line to pass the "Ca. ron"
resolution.
AS a switch of six votes would de-
feat the resolution, it is quite poss-
lble that the combined minority may
reopen the fight.

Certain business men who control
natural resources like to assure the
public that they are merely trustees
for property interests that have been
placed in their care" and that their
only aim is to serve the dear people.
This is intended to be the last word,
the final alibi, when other defenses
for exploitation fail. In the mine
workers strike Of 1902 the operators
spokesman-George F. Baer-said:
"The rights and interests of the
laboring man will be protected
and cared for, not by the labor
agitators, but by the Christian
men to whom God in His infinite
wisdom has given the control of
the property interests of the
country"

Where Deserved, Raise
Pay Voluntarily

New Year, the season for changes
in positions and advances in salaries,
approaches. If you have in your en-
ploy some who deserve more salary,
do not compel them to go through the
unpleasant ordeal of asking raise,
but, rather, voluntarily increase their
remuneration. A raise which comes
from the boss without asking is worth
lot more than one that has to be
gouged out of him. Is it not true that
a great many employers who would
not dream Of overcharging their GUS
toners have no qualms whatever
about under-paying employees if the
latter will submit without protest
Surely it is as wrong morally to keep
money to which an employee is en-
titled as it would be to take money
from a customer by overcharging
him. Do not ones own people de.
serve as much consideration as out
siders
Our best-managed organizations to-
day devote painstaking study to this
subject of voluntarily raising salaries
An increasing number of concerns &c
over their salary lists several times a
year and make suitable adjustments
Then, if an employee asks an in
crease, he is told that he is being paid
all that the management considers his
services are worth, and no competi-
ton to hold him against a higher bid
der is entered into.
After all, is not an infinity of prac-
tical sense embodied in the oft-ridi-
culed Biblical injunction, at is more
blessed to give than to receive"?-

In congress, but it was not pleasing
to the majority of tie farm bureau
mon WHO listened to 1t. This was be
cause Mr.. Coolidge took a definite
stand against any radical price-6xing
legislation or revision of the tariff.
He attacked directly the McNary-
,Taugen bill, which would provide gov
ernment assisted corporations in TAX
ing over the marketing of the United
States farm surpluses in foreign cOun-
tries and thus prevent the dumping Of
The farm output on the home market,
with consequent slumps in price.
There was no guarantee that the gov
ernment always would give q high
price, he said, while with the govern
ment once established In business ii
would be a blow at the farmers own
cO-operatives.
The President argued that the farm
er gets far greater benefit from the
tariff than the sum which is added to
the prices Of manufactured commodi-
ties that the farmer buys. On the
other hand, all citizens other than
farmers pay more for many things,
because the agricultural clauses Of the
tariff assist the farmer to attain
higher prices in the American market
for his products.
One Of the severest critics of the
Presidents address was s. II. Thomp-
son of Quincy, H., president of the
Illinois Agricultural association, and
