SENATOR NORRIS

Badger Standpatter May
Not Roost on Bench

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17-In the
hands Of Senator Norris Of Nebraska,
leader Of the progressive group In
Congress, may rest the fate Of Irvine
L. Lenroot, Wisconsin standpat sena-
tor defeated for denomination and now
awaiting an appointive job at the
hands OF President Coolidge.
Norris has succeeded the late Sen
Rtor Cummins of Iowa at the head Of
the republican list in the senate ju-
dietary committee. Unless the admin
istration has him suddenly expelled
from the party-as It expelled the
elder LaFollette, Frazier and Brook
hart two years ago-he viii become
chairman Of the judiciary committee
when the senate meets in November.
All presidential nominations to the
federal bench are referred to that
committee.
Expect Place to SIT.
Washington politicians believe that
Lenroot will be named as a federal
circuit Judge during the final weeks
of the present congress. If that is
done he will try to get Norris TO agree
that his confirmation shall be made in
open session of the senate as an act
of courtesy to a retiring senator. Nor
ris will have to yield to the claim of
courtesy. or stand by his general rule
OF refusing to sanction the putting of
an unfit man on the bench for a life
term.
Norris knows that Lenroot is BIT
terly anti-labor and that his presence
on the federal bench would be a CON
slant threat to union men who might
strike.

WASHINGTON, Sept. II. - The

Evans Grants Interview.
Granting a political interview for
the first time in the history of the

Borah as first class, outstanding

be glad to support. He served notice
too that the khan would take an "ac-

Evans. HE is one of our greatest
citizens. He is a champion of the con-

"But he is wet" 1t was suggested.
Hes a great American just the

klansman will support wet when pro-
hibition is not an issue and when the
candidate measures up to our stand

CARMEN renew
WAGE CONTRACT
Defeat Wage Cut But
Give Up Any Raise
By IRVING FREEMAN, Fsd. Press.

NEWARK, N. J., Sept. II. - BY a
vote Of 2,574 to 1898 the trolleymen
in Newark. Jersey City. Elizabeth and
six other cities in the northern half Of
New Jersey voted to accept the pro.
posal Of the Public Service Corpora
ton OF New Jersey, their employer,
for a three-year renewal Of the pres
emit wage contract on a 65-cent an hour
wage basis. Slight Improvement in
working conditions include heated
cars.
Company Tried Wage Cut.
The company's earlier demand for
1o-cent an hour cut was met with a
strike vote. The men countered with
a demand for 15-cent wage increase,
A strike doomed; all efforts to get
company oficials in conference failed
till early September, when executives
of the Amalgamated Association Of
Electric and Street Railway Employees
met with the local workers committee
and an oficer OF the company.
Compromise Demands.
The compromise by which each side
waived its wage demands-the COM
pany giving up the demand for re-
duction and the workers theirs for an
increase-was put thru at last. The
men had been protesting that their 65-
cent an hour wage was lower than the
average scale in the large cities Of the
country, but Thomas Fitzgerald, VIII
liam Werner and other members of
the union executive board argued that
the company was in poor financial con-
dition and this was the best the men
could get. Newark men favored a
strike, reports had 1t. but they were
converted.

he picked. Promises were made to
Parker that he would have transport
alton given him for one way If he
worked ON this farm until the crop
was gathered in.
Parker accepted the job. On his
arrival at Taft, Parker and a num-
ber Of other workers were refused
jobs by the man that was supposed
to hire them. The labor agency then
sold these men In punches to cotton
farmers of the vicinity.
After working on q farm where
ptchngs averaged but a quarter Of a
bale to the acre, Parker quit and went
to work on another farm where he
was offered better wages. He had no
sooner started work on the other farm
when he was arrested for swindling.
A ration charge Of $12 was the basis
of the extortton charge.
Many complaints are being made
by workers in Raymondville charg-
ing that they are arrested on the most
flimsy charges, fined the amount Of
their earnings. These workers are un-
able to leave the fields. Those that
leave their jobs and have not enough
to board a train and leave the section
are Jailed on vagrancy charges and
are then forced to work out their
fines.

laborers were arrested by county au-
