its determination to forge ahead to-
ward its ultimate goal. However
vicious this attack may be, it is but
an incident in the great struggle of
the toiling masses for justice and
right.
Let US all hope that the next labor
year Will see an end to this assault up
on the integrity of business and indus
try. Let us all strive for the attain
ment of harmony and good-feeling in
industry. What is most needed in in
dustry these days is a finer concep-
ton of the meaning of cooperation.
Men must learn that cooperation
means cooperation by all parties con-
cerned and not by one side alone.
Labor's battles of the past are gone
INTO history. Labor's battles of the
future remain to be fought. Upon
the outcome of this great struggle de-
pends the realization of human rights
and labor's aspirations. Organized
labor never did and it never will
shrink from the struggle for these
ideals.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1926-09-03

Once more, on this Labor Day of
1926, labor will pledge it's allegiance
to the fundamental principles of the
trade union movement in America.
Loyalty to the ideals of collective bar
gaining, fair wages, better home life,
greater opportunity for higher citizen
ship, the square deal, development
and progress is undiminished in the
hearts of American workingmen and
women. Throughout the past year all
of these ideals have been assailed by
those who would, if they could, de-
stroy the workers rights. The bat
tie has been fierce and the sacrifice
great, but labor's ranks are still hold
ing tight against every attack. Let
US all hope that the coming labor
year will nurse and develop good will
in industry and that a spirit of real
fellowship may take the place of dis
trust, misunderstanding and bitter
ness
One of the most precious gifts that
the next labor year could possibly
bring to industry would be a realiza-
ton on the part OF all that their con-
tracts and agreements must be OBJ
served. Unfortunately, there has
oeen a TOO general tendency upon the
part of certain type of employer to
scrap their agreements with labor,
cast them in the waste basket and
openly declare that they will not live
up to their written word. Especially
has this been true in certain fields in
the mining industry. And in each
case of that character the violation of
contract has brought suffering, dis
tress and sacrifice upon the workers.
And what good has come from it all
None whatever. 1t is but another
manifestation of the un-American de-
sire of that type of employer to shove
the worker backward and downward
to the old-time poverty level by
wrecking and destroying his only real
protector-his union.
But even the brutality of this at
tack has not swerved organized lab
or from its true course nor dimmed

Two issues of far-reaching i'm
portance should be emphasized
Labor Day.
They are:
1. An intensive trade union or
ganization campaign.
2. The Non-Partisan Political
Campaign of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.
Wherever Labor Day is cele-
brated, and from reports this will
be almost universal, agitation
should be renewed for vigorous
continuance of the campaign to
organize every wage Garner ellgl-
BILE to membership in a trade un-
ion.
The experiences of those who
in many states exhibited LAB
or's Reward" the moving picture
outlining the successes of the
American labor movement, clear
ly demonstrate that hundreds of
thousands of wage earners are
anxious to organize.
Speakers at Labor Day demon
strations would do we'll to urge
every member of a trade union
to appoint himself a committee
of one to seek new members.
Unions that have adopted this
policy have gained in member
ship. Members of unions who
have relied upon the officers
alone to accomplish results have
not been so successful.
1t is therefore necessary for the
rank and file of all unions to un-
derstand that it is their duty to
aid their officers at all times in
the work of organization.
The present stable conditions
enjoyed by the organized wage
earners of America were not vol
unfairly conceded by employers.
They are the result of organiza-
ton. of years of struggle and
sacrifice, until collective bargain
ing became the recognized We
hible through which it was poss-
ible to maintain industrial peace.
Organized labor is a recognized
institution. The right to organ
ize is not questioned. No reason
can be advanced, therefore, why
every union should not be 100
per cent organized. 1t all de-
pends upon the willingness of the
members to perform their share
of organization work.
The Importance of selecting
members of congress who will be
true to their constituents and to
the people generally cannot be
over-estimated Thirty-four SEN
ators and 435 members of the
house of representatives are to
be elected.
There is hardly a congressional
district in the United States in
which the voters cannot nomin-
ate and elect a forward-looking
representative. 1t is doubtful if
there is state in which sena-
tor cannot be nominated and
elected who will be true to the
people. The only obstacle will be
the failure of the wage earners
to vote for the most acceptable
candidates.
Members of the house of rep

With another page added to the
history of organized labor, the work
ers can look forward with enthusiasm
and hope.
Year by year our movement rec
ords that slow, substantial progress
that is based on an intelligence Of the
workers and public opinion that is
accepting our purposes for a fuller
and larger life.
During the past year our move
ment has made substantial gains.
Wages were increased, hours reduced,
working conditions improved and the
general social and economic advance
that marks the history of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor has been
maintained.
Neither has the past year been an
exception to previous years in the Sc
curement of spiritual values that are
inseparable from mans development
These values include higher intelli-
gence, a stronger determination, a
greater capacity and consciousness
of social worth.
These equip wage workers for var
ious duties every believer in a de-
mocracy must perform. Wage work
ers are equipued to join with fellow
citizens in other walks of life in a
solution of new social problems.
=. Organized labor has changed the
tide of events for wage workers. The
trade unions have implanted discon-
tent in the breast of laborers and have
urged that the ideals of that discon-
tent can only be realized through or
0aniz atinn and adI1cati0n
The trade unions have been unceas-
ing in their plea that progress is only
possible through a slow intellectual
development that collectively in
creases the workers intellectual ca
pacity and trains them for enlarged
civic and industrial duties and respon-
sibilities, while their living standards
are ever increased.
The trade unions accept the charge
that they are "step-at-a-time" move
ment. This is the law of social de-
velopment, as against the proposal of
"short cuts" that invariably bring
bitter disillusion to those who accept
the alluring doctrine.
Our trade unions are not narrow.
Within the American Federation of
Labor are found men and women
wage workers of every race, creed,
nationality and political view The
only test is: "Do you work for
wages 2"

Chaplin as Bonaparte

Charlie Chaplin, it is reported, will
appear in a super-film as Napoleon,
playing opposite Raquel Meller, the
Spanish artist of fifty-dollar-a-seat
fame. Unlike most of his roles, this
is to be serious one for Charlie.
The artist in him yearns to do some
thing bigger and better. than anyone
has. done before. There are very few
clowns who are capable of turning
tragedian and getting away with it,
but Chaplin is one of them. The lit
tie man with the baggy pants and the
trick mustache has what very few ac-
tors possess genius.

SURPLUS THE PROBLEM

Frank O. Lowden, former gov
ernor of Illinois, the principal
speaker at the annual convention
of the. Minnesota Editorial As
ISOLATION in Minneapolis, Friday,
gave what we believe, was very
good address on agriculture.
Facing the facts and without
camaflaging about prosperity be-
ing right around the corner, that
the farmer is the most indepen-
dent man on earth, that we are
here living in the bread basket
of the world with plenty, and
patting the farmer on the back
and the like. but giving a
straightforward talk, Mr.. Lowden
made it plain that something
must be done to take care of
surplus crops of the farm because
that in his opinion is what causes
lower prices. While the surplus
should be benefit to man and
beast it really works a hardship
on the one who produces it.
Mr.. Lowden maintained that
if enough food is going to be pro-
duced for the world, we must face
the problem of producing more
than. is needed at times.
There's an injustice in that
situation for the farmer today
which carries with it threat to
the consumer of the country to-
morrow he put it. why should
the farmer be made to suffer be-
cause of the bounty of crops?'
Mr.. Lowden did not set up a
complete plan to remedy the
situation in question, but he
made it plain that in his opinion
legislation could be drawn which
should take care, of the problem.
His suggestion for a remedy was
given, however, when he drew an
analogy between the seasonal sur
plus of farm crops and the sur
plus credit resources of the banks
before the adoption of the fed
eral reserve system. He pointed
out that the resources of the
banks as a whole were adequate
for the business of the country
as a whole. But it frequently
happened, he explained, that an
unusual demand at some parti-
cular place exceeded the re-
sources of that community, while
in other sections there were
ample resources in excess of
their need.

CAN'T ALL HAVE THIS
EXPERIENCE

A man down, near Milwaukee,
Wis, had an experience some
time ago that undoubtedly made
him firm believer in bringing
his automobile to a complete stop
before crossing railroads. Not
everybody can have a like ex-
perience without serious and
fatal results and hence for the
safety of all and to reduce ex-
penses the law to stop where
stop signs are up at crossings,
was passed.
The Milwaukee man with his
! wife and seven children, in their
automobile, drove almost onto
the railroad tracks before he
caught sight of a passenger train
bearing down upon him. With a
quick twist of the wheel the
driver jerked the touring car to a
position parallel to the tracks, far
enough away to miss being tossed
into the~ditch or ground beneath
the wheels. When the train
came to stop, a few hundred
yards down the track, it was
found that paint on each of the
fourteen coaches had be e n
scratched by a fender of the auto
mobile.

was designed. among other
things" he said, TO mobilize the
|credit resources of those banks
which had a surplus and employ
them where the credit resources
were deficient. 1t sought to do,
with. surplus credit resources,
what should be accomplished
with the seasonal SURPRISES Of
the farm"
To emphasize the Importance
of the farmer in the production
of the worlds basic commodities,
the speaker said that I'VE are
told by the United States depart
nlent of agriculture that in Amer
lea are found less than 4 per cent
of the farmers and farm laborers
of the world" 3
"And yet," he continued ,"the
American farmers produce nearly
70 per cent of the worlds corn,
60 per cent of the worlds cotton,
so per cent of the worlds tobac-
co, and Is per cent of the worlds
oats and hay"
He said that in the simpler age
of agriculture the farmer pro-
duced enough to feed and clothe
his family. If there was a sur
plus, it was so much better, he
said, and the larger the surplus,
the weather. the farmer was
deemed.
Then he took up a discussion of
the changed conditions as they
are noted today.
THE corn crop of last year,
with a slightly increased acre
age" he said, was larger by
about Is per cent, or 100000, 600
bushels, than the corn crop of
the year before. The value of
the crop, however, was less by
more than $3OO,OOO,OOO than the
value Of the inferior and lesser
crop of 1924"
Mr.. Lowden said the producer
is encouraged when he sees the
land responding to his efforts to.
wiring from it a sustenance, but
that his gladness is tempered
with the bitter thought that per-
haps these seeming blessings of
Providence may bring ruin. in
fact, he said, he does not know
whether bounteous rainfall on
his own farm is a blessing or a
curse.
Discussing the cotton situation,
he said that we are. told we have
the third largest crop of record.
"As a result" he went on, "the
price has declined to point
where it is not profitable to pro-
duce it, if we would measure
profits by the standard employed
in every other field of human
activity"
For an illustration of the man
ner in which market is affected
by irregularities in supply, Mr.,
Lowden told of a shipment of
Danish butter to New York. He
said that although there was not
enough butter in the shipment
to supply all the breakfast tables
in New York city, the arrival af-
fected butter prices over the
whole country and brought lower
prices, not only on butter but
also butterfat.. -
IA rational way to handle such
a situation, he commended, would
be for the farmers to be repre-
sented by an expert who under
stood the situation and had
vision, withdraw the American
butter from the market a few
hours and when the New Workers
