FALL ELECTIONS
Being Prepared For BY
Trade UniOnists

Washington-Th records of mem.
bers of congress on social legislation
was considered by the A. f. of L.
executive council at its quarterly
meeting in A. F. of l.. building.
This information will be forwarded
to organized labor and sympathizers
to aid in forming their voting decision
in the forthcoming primaries and
election
All congressional districts are in
cluded, but special circulars will be
sent into districts and states of rep
sentatives and senators who have
opposed legislation of interest to
wage earners and the people gener-
ally.
President Green has urged the
$4,000 local unions in the United
States, as well as state and city cen
tral bodies, to appoint non-partisan
political campaign committees.
Ninety per cent of these unions,
he said, have made favorable reply
President Green reported on his
efforts in behalf of the Fitzgerald
compensation bill, pending in con-
gress. This bill would establish state
controlled compensation in the Dis
trict of Columbia. Because of its
moral effect, private insurance COM
panies throughout the country are
urging its defeat. They favor the
Underwood bill, which would permit
them to exploit the injuries and
deaths of workers.

REGISTERING
Aliens is Held Silly Plan BY
N. Y. Newspaper

New York.-"To register aliens is
not only unjust, it is silly" says the
New York World.
"The secretary of labor seems to
have forgotten that for sall reason
able purposes we have registration.
of aliens already" says the Worli
editor when the immigrant enters
this country he is required to tell his
|'age, financial status, proposed place
of residence, ETC., and this informa-
ton is recorded. Afterward, if ques-
ton arises about him, he can easily
be traced and investigated That is,
if he has entered lawfully
but, say proponents of the secre-
tary's scheme, how about the alien
who entered unlawfully? That is pre-
cisely the point: How about him
Does anyone believe that this scheme
will bag him? Suppose the secre-
tary's plan can be made to work
Suppose our postmasters, clerks of
courts and school teachers leap at this
chance to do extra work; suppose all
the 3,087 counties in the United
States do their share without a single
instance of Indifference; suppose,
even that the competent source of
training is located. Will single un-
lawfully entered alien enroll himself
to be forthwith deported? To ask
that question is to answer it.
"Unless gigantic new special
police force is provided, what this
scheme means is that the alien who
entered lawfully, and who is not our
primary concern, will be harried un-
duly, laid open to blackmail by his
enemies and persecution by local
busybodies; while the bootlegged for
eigner, the object of all this fuss, is
not even scathed."

The Cherry
" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes flippantIy,
sometimes recklessly.

Whoever can find the chance to talk
to skilled mechanic is in luck. for
there are few more interesting men
with whom to while away an hour.
Gradually machine operations are
driving the real skilled craftsmen out
OF the field, but many remain and
will remain for long, long time.
Of course, as the machine replaces
skilled craftsmen, men acquire skill
IN other directions, for man is dy-
manic He either goes forward or he
crumples up and soon heads process,
sion to the cemetery.
There are undoubtedly more men of
real skill II the world today than ever
before - men of the highest type,
learned in technical processes that
would have driven their grandfathers
wild.
Processes change, and so what once
were skilled occupations have either
almost disappeared or have entirely
passed out. Many of the tools that
the carpenter of fifty years ago used
are never even seen by the carpenter
of today. The mills do what the old
time craftsman had to do by hand.
But the coming of power has
brought men skilled in mechanics.
men who know intimately about
Things that were mysterious a half
century ago.
Get real mechanic who has lived
a good part of life into an occupa-
ton and you have talker worth lis
tening to. Here is man skilled in
mosaics and the allied lines in marble
and masonry work. He is an Italian
and the flavor of the mother tongue
remains strong after perhaps twenty
years in America. But he talks as an
artist. He has a deep scorn for those
who know less about his work than
he knows and who pretend to know
more. His materials are not merely
stones and cement and tools. They
are like the paints and brushes of
the painter. He has, in stones, as
many colors as the artist has in his
tubes and he uses them just as intel
ligently and purposefully.
Some of the beautiful things this
man knows how to make are never
seen in America-there seems to be
no market. But he makes terrace
tables which are highly priced in
Italy. Wherever this man goes he
looks upon marbles and mozaics just
as an artist looks at canvasses in a
gallery. He looks for the beauty and
for the workmanship.
And this man talks about famous
job in Germany, difficult piece of
work in Austria, remarkably beau
tiful thing done in northern Italy,
and of work in many American cities
He talks of little details, gathered up
one by one in long years of expe.

ALABAMA'S
Convict Lease Plan Brings
LII Repute to State

Birmingham, Ala-The death of
James W. Knox, convict in the
Flat Top prison, near here, has Gre
ated the biggest sensation in this
state since Alabama established the
system of leasing prisoners to coal
operators and other private inter-
eSts.
Knox was convicted in Mobile coun-
ty of forging $50 check. He died
few days after arrival at Flat TOP
prison. The death certificate stated
that he died from bichloride of mer-
curry, taken with suicidal intent. In
report to Governor Brandon, Attor-
ney General Davis denies the suicide
charge and includes this statement bv
DR.. Walter G. Jones, of Birmingham
Southern College: after death it
seems that discoloring poison was
injected artificially into his stomach
through the natural passages in order
to stimulate accidental death or sui
eide ;"
The probe of convict leasing by
state officials has uncovered an un-
believable condition. Defenders of
the leasing system insist that Knox
died in from 20 to 40 minutes after
he took the poison, but DR.. Jones
reported that bichroride of mercury
is slow poison which requires at
least several hours to produce fatal
results.
Testimony showed that Knox, who
was large man, was beaten because
he could not produce the proper
amount of coal. Convicts who admin
lister these beatings are known as
check runners. They are not requir-
ed to shovel coal They keep check
on other convicts and are paid bonus
for coal produced above the tasks of
the convicts.

DELLA ]. FOWLES
A CANDIDATE
Former Police Woman En-
ters Race for State
Representative

Della J. Fowles, better known per-
haps to the Hamilton public as Mrs
Frank Fowles and better know still,
without doubt, as Hamilton's first
police woman, announced last week
that she is again candidate for NOM
nation for state representative on the
democratic ticket at the primaries to
be held in August Mrs. Fowles, it
will be remembered, was a candidate
for the same office two years ago, at
which time she received a handsome
vote, one that encouraged her friends
to urge her to again enter the race
this year.
AS police woman of Hamilton Mrs
Fowles' work gained for her fame
that made her name household
word, not only in the city but through
out the county and state as well, and
her work did not bring her only enc
mics, as one might expect from the
character of such work, but because
of the manner in which Mrs Fowles
practiced her work it brought to her
many friends.
Mrs Fowles broadcasts to her
opponents, if there be any, that she
is going to make an extensive cam
paign of the entire county, and that
she expects no favors because of sex,
and asks only support because of
ability to fulfill the duties of the
office

Washington, ID. c..
Representative Jacobstein, of New
York, wants congress to declare the
coal industry public utility and
license every mine. 1t is claimed that
operators are collecting their recent
strike losses by overcharging the con-
sumer. There is no reason to believe,
however, that the operators do not
have lobbyists here who will see that
the industry is not interefered with
and the consumer will continue to
pay.

if so, how much. The fact that taxes

stopped should indicate something.

With the advent of the Christian
