Phoenix, Ariz. = Organized
labor is aiding 100 destitute
men, women and children from
Porto Rico who have been lured
to this state by the Arizona Cot
ton Growers Association.
The Porto Ricans say that the cot
ton planters agreed to pay them 81
for a 10-hour day, with housing,
drinking water, medical attention and
sanitary conditions. When they start
ed to work they found they were to
be paid at the rate of u cents a
pound. AS they have no experience
in this work, it is impossible for
them to earn more than 81 to. $1.25
a day.
They had no place to sleep on the
farms and drifted into Phoenix. Many
of them had eaten nothing for two
and three days.
The trade unionists invited them to
the Central Labor Council hall, where
food was provided and sleeping ar
rangements made.
The local central body informed
President Green of the situation and
he has taken the matter up with Sec
retary of Labor Davis.

The railroad announced itself at
the service of the Red Cross and
willing to do anything necessary.
Its engineers were right on the lob
and got busy to restore the light
ing system Of Miami.
Later in the day Director Baker
Of the Red Cross, stated that not
enough credit could be given the
Florida East Coast Railway and
that the city of Miami may well be
thankful for the fact that q double
line of solidly built tracks that
could withstand the rigors of wind

Miami realize in part only the ter.
rife task undertaken and carried
through in their behalf by the
Florida East Coast Railway from

chief.
Since all other lines were cut,
the Florida East Coast Railway
furnished the only means OF COM
munication between Miami and the
outside world. Fortunately its
track remained intact. Carloads
of supplies were moved into the
stricken cities by the railway com.
sistants, and troops were being
handled by special and regular
train service. Following the storm
and relief work trains, the railroad
began carrying in large volumes OF
supplies for reconstruction which
has proceeded like magic. The
Miami Chamber of Commerce has
announced that Miami will be ready

Head of American Federation of
Labor Says Fight
Against Repeal

William Green, President of
the A. F. of L. has issued the
following circular to organized
labor throughout Ohio:
"An attempt is being made to re-
peal the provision in the Constitution
of the state of Ohio providing for the
nomination of candidates at primary
elections.
"Those who are sponsoring this
movement for repeal of the primary
election provision are seeking to sub
stitute the convention method for the
nomination of candidates for public
offices.
"The working people of Ohio, asso-
ciated with other progressive groups,
were responsible for the adoption of
the primary system of nominating
candidates for office.
''This method of nominating candi-
dates vests the power in the people
while the convention system vests the
power in the political bosses.
"The great mass of the people of
Ohio cannot afford to relinquish their
political right to nominate the candi-
dates for public offices. For this
reason they should unite and organize
for the purpose of defeating the at
tempt to repeal the primary plan of
nominating candidates for public
offices.
"Unless the workers and the pub
lie generally become aroused to the
seriousness of this situation, to this
attempt to abridge their authority as
voters, there is great danger that the
reactionary political bosses will sue
ceed in their attempt to establish boss
control.
"The membership of organized lab
or throughout the state of Ohio, and
their friends are urged to become ac-
lively interested and to work against
and vote against the proposed amend
ment to the Constitution providing fol
the repeal of the primary election
plan of nominating candidates.
"The time is short. Earnest anC
decisive action is necessary. The pres
ervation of the primary system il
Ohio means much to the working peo-
pie and depends entirely upon the &C,
tivity and support of those who be.
lieve in democracy and the rule of the
people"

APOLOGIES
Reason to Kick

The official orders from the
State Tax Commission that the
valuation of property in Newark
5 city, Granville village and Jer-
sey township be greatly increas-
ed has justly raised a vigorous
protest in the districts affected
by the proposed advance.
The valuation in Newark has
already been raised $5,000,000
since 1919, and if the rate be
again advanced as demanded it
would result in a total increase
of $8,000,000 since that time.
In addition to the ten per cent
advance in Newark, a like in
crease is demanded in the village
of Granville and twenty per cent
in Jersey township.
This order from the State
Commission was the result of
the examination of a representa-
tive sent here last winter, and
upon the basis of his report the
notice of increased valuation
was issued.
The taxpayers of the districts
affected Immediately got busy
and appointed representative
citizens to appear before the
State Commission and explain
what had already been done in
the way of increasing the valua-
tion, and ask for a resembling or
der.
The committee has met with
the board and has been granted
further time to prepare it's fig
ures, and is preparing a state
ment to present on October 28th,
when the time limit expires.

AS has been the case for a
number of years past, those in
control of the policy pursued in
regards to lowering the water
level in Buckeye Lake, have
again got busy at their old
tricks and are draining out a
large amount of the water so
necessary to sustain the life of
the smaller species of fish which
remain in the shallow parts of
the lake, and upon which larger
game fish depend as a source of
food supply.
No good reason has ever been
given why the level of the lake
should annually be lowered two
or three feet below normal, and
thousands of fish left in the
shallow pools to be frozen to
death. This is one of the causes
why the fishing at this once
popular resort is constantly be-
coming poorer, and so many fol-
lowers of Izaak Walton are de-
serting it and seeking more de-
sirable locations for their favor
ite sport.
1t is said that residents at the
lake and others took the ques-
ton up with the proper author
tiles last year and received a
promise that the Objectionable
practice would hereafter be
abandoned.

FIRST OF HUGE COMBINES

will hereafter be the rule. Eng
land is not included in the COM
bine, but Jugoslovakia and CZe-
choslovakia will be parties to
the movement.
American capitalists are indirectly
interested in the merger through their
investments in European iron and
steel concerns. Continental trade
unionists are alert to the danger of
attacks against present low living
standards of iron and steel workers,
and certain liberal newspapers are
discussing the possible end of small
manufacturers. The trust promoters,
however, promise that they will not
"misure" their power.
That the governments approve the
combine is indicated by this state
ment by DR.. Curtius, German Minis
ter of Commerce:
although the governments of
these nations have been careful not
to intervene directly in the undertak-
ing engineered by private business
interests, there necessarily has been
close contact between the industrial
leaders and the administrative Off
cials in Germany as well as in
France, Belgium and Luxembourg"
Minister Loucheur, speaking for
the French government, agrees with
the German official and predicts that
the new trust will be the forerunner
of greater and more comprehensive
agreements" the bases of which will
be worked out at Forthcoming world
economic conference.
