RHEUMATISM

IT'S GONE! That awful agony!
i rheumatism can't stand the rich,
red blood that S. S. S. helps Nature,
build.
But rheumatism will bring pain and
misery to your joints and muscles just
as long as you are without plenty of
rich, red blood in your system.
It's the red-blood-cells that S. S. S..
helps Nature build that drive out of
your system the impurities that cause
rheumatism. And until you do build
up your blood to whore it is pure and,
rich, and red, you simply can't get rid
of rheumatism.
And S. S. S. is the thing. Red blood
conquers rheumatism. Everybody
knows that.
S. S. S. means millions of red-blood-
cells-means health all .@~
over. No more rheuma' -
tism. Nights of rest NN
days of jov, filed with AA-X.0A/
the happiness of accom- y
plishment - made pos.
sible by a body brimful
of red blooded life, energy and vitality.
That's what the end of rheumatism
means--that's what S. s. S. brings to
you. Get S. S. S. from your druggist.
The larger bottle is more economical.

PORTERS URGED
TO FIGHT FOR
THEIR RIGHTS
Nothing Can Be Won by
Crawling Policy

A meeting Of the Brotherhood of
Sleeping Car Porters was held at Pill
grim Baptist Church, S3rd Street and
Indiana Ave, at three p. m. Sunday
afternoon.
Obligation to Porters.
Miss Mary Mcdowell, welfare and
social worker, stated as her expert
ence travelling for many years in Pull
man cars that she felt under obliga-
ton to Pullman car porters who have
been in charge of the cars where one
lies down to rest when he goes on
long journey. semphasized the
necessity Of organization, and stated
that in view of the fact that the Negroes
as whole had made progress in all
lines OF endeavor, it Is assured that
with the proper leadership they could
succeed in organizing for their eco
nomic welfare, by far the most i'm
portant work of life.
A. Philip Randolph, general organ
izer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping
Car Porters, was introduced by Chair
man Webster as a new type of Negro
leadership with efficiency, intelligence,
loyalty and honesty in which the Ne
gro race was sadly in need
Early Struggles Of Porters.
He opened up by analyzing a recent
statement in Baron's Weekly under
the title of Pullman Porter, the Bene-
fits of His Racial Monopoly" His
logical analysis literally tore this ar
ticle to pieces and it was made the
laughing stock of the whole meeting.
He also talked briefly on the early
struggles of the Brotherhood of Sleep
ing Car Porters, stating that the la
Dor organizations generally passed
thru three stages, the stage that they
are ignored, the stage that they are
opposed and the stage that they are
accepted and recognized, and that the
brotherhood had passed thru the first
stage and was now leaving the second
stage and about to get to the point
where they would force the Pullman
Company to recognize them.
He also stated that the organization
had been able to secure the endorse
ment of the N. A. A.. C. P, the Ma
tional Federation of Colored Womens
Clubs, number of baptist churches,
and the leaders of the Urban League
In fact, they had reached the stage
now where they receive the sup
port of almost the entire Negro race.

SCAB TAXI DRIVER IN

mately fail because 1t cannot serve
the needs of the workers"
Green then declared that the or
ganized labor movement thru many
years had fought for child and woman
workers and for remedial legislation
for all labor. "The organization that
cannot protect the economic welfare
Of the workers cannot live in Ameri-
ca" said Green, claiming that the
company union could not do this.
Five-Day Week.
1.-THE American Federation of Labor
is committed to a program and organ
lied for purpose, the economic, go
cial, political, and cultural welfare Of
the working class"
Green then turned to Ford's five
day week, declaring that organised
labor had always fought for the short
er work-day and the shorter work
week.
Eve welcome the efforts Of any en-
ployer who accepts the shorter work
week." he declared
403 Delegates.
On the first report of the creden-
tials committee 4OS delegates were
seated. They represented 81 nation
al and International unions, four de-
partments, 2S state declarations, ~
central labor bodies, 16 local and fed
eral labor organizations and seven
fraternal delegates. Fraternal dele
gates are here only from Great Brit
ain Canada and Mexico
The local labor officials on the days
program all stressed the declaration
voiced by Martel that the delegates
void hear "the complain and howl of
those who oppose the labor move
ment." They claimed, however that
this was not an expression of opinion
by the people Of Detroit, but in spite
of the small minority that believes
that the labor movement can be
broken up.
President Wade was the only speak
er mentioning the Detroit Free Press
by name calling forth the laughter of
the delegates. Detroit is wonder
fur CITY," said Wade, mot because Of
the open shop movement, but in spite
of it," The convention heard the re-
port of the executive council and then
went for an automobile sightseeing
tour of the city.

William Green, of the A. F. Of L.,
discussed at some length his views
on the so-called aYe-day week institut-
ed at the plant Of the Ford Motor
company. He said
THE Ford plan should not be re-
garded as a distinct innovation. The
short work-week has for some time
been in certain branches OF the print
ing trades, the building trades and
metropolitan department stores in the
summer season.
Says Policy Elastic.
ut inevitably will be adopted by
virtually all industries, because the
high-pressure grind of modern indus
try is such as to induce physical de-
generation Of the workers If they do
not have some hour-shortening relief
'Let me put it this way. The policy
of the American Federation of Labor
Is sufficiently elastic to meet any and
all developments in American indus
try We believe our record proves
this especially as it covers wages and
working nourss
But Steel Trust Is open Shop, Too
Our policy has been a progressive
one, adequate to the needs of pro-
gressive developments. These de-
velopments have been gradual. In
support of this statement, need only
city the action, about year ago, of
the United States Steel corporation
in granting the eight-hour day This
acquiescence on the part Of the steel
company marked the elimination OF
a movement the A. F. of L. had had
under way for rs years.
"Call it foresight, if you ike-we
have seen this thing coming and our
policy has been accurately in line with
what we felt must come to pass. We
have consistently maintained that
hours must be reduced in direct pro
portion to increased productivity in
industry.
= Increased Productivity.
Productivity has increased in I'M
believable bounds. In the past Is
years, production in the automobile
industry, with which, of course, De-
troit is chiefly concerned, has in.
creased from 25 to so per cent. Some
estimates are as high as 100 per cent.
I'VE do not, Of course, want shorter
hours at the expense of wages. But
We know that this need not be, that
production increases with the shorter
week.
Flve-Dsy Week.
"The five-day week seems inevitable
because of the strain under which
workers are placed in modern indus
try. There is the incessant roar that
wears men out and causes physical
degeneration. If men are to work
under such nerve-racking conditions
their hours must conform to the tax
put upon them. This is to the direct
advantage of the employers, If men
are driven from the job. it means
large labor turnover, and labor turn
over costs the employer big money.
Industries Ready.
Il believe that several industries
fare now ready for the flve-day week,
especially the automobile industry as
whole, the mining industry, the gar
ment making industry and the build
ing trades.
"The short week Is one OF the de-
mands Of the striking garment work
ers at Passaic, N. j."

The average amount earned by the
workers was $14 a week. But the

earnings even still more and issued
Fridays notice. Other workers at
the factory have even lower scales.

From the factory premises the
workers went to 80 North Wells St.,

Harrington on the Job.
Frank Harrington, the suspended
president Of the Illinois coal miners,
having signed a contract to work for
the Peabody Coal Co. for $4,000 an

of L., totaling $1,s6OsS to Geneva,

decorate one of the rooms in the In

where the official labor wing of the
imperialist league of nations is housed.
It is stated that Harrington is bring

II calls for further investigation Of
the provision in employment con-

It claims that attempts to establish
compulsory arbitration have practi-

agreements. It's optimistic declaru-
