SWEETWATER SENATOR
FLAYS PROHIBITION
Wants Congress to Submit Question
to Vote of People of Uuited

Prohibition became an issue in
the Wyoming legislature with the
Introduction Thursday by Senator
Frank Yates in the senate of a Joint
memorial to the national congress
asking that 1t submit to the vote of
the people whether the eighteenth
amendment shall be repealed.
1T Is an acknowledged fact that
the youths OF the country are now
given to drinking intoxicating IL
quor to a far greater extent thai
was ever known before. which con-
dition has resulted in a laxity OF
morals and disregard for obeying
the law among the younger genera
ton Yates said In his memorial.
He declared that the prohibition
law has brought about a d~isrespect
Tor all laws, is leading to greater
lawlessness and has proved to be
impossible of effective enforce
ment-' Yates also contends that
should be a question for
state to determine.
"A sufficient time has elapsed for
the determination as to whether or
not said constitutional amendments
are practicable and conducive to
the best interests of the country"
the memorial continues.
1t is the opinion of this body
mat at the present time a large
number of people who voted for

RAINBOW'S END FOR
ZONE BIG UNION

Vancouver, B. C.-The zone big
union" movement, that swept this
section few years ago, is at the end
Of it's rainbow. Every prediction by
trade unionists is now accepted by
workers who rejected experience and
social development, and who were
swayed by sarcasm, ridicule and bluff.
"The 'one big union never did any
independent organizing" says the
Labor Statesman, owned by the local
Trades and Labor Council. Gall it
did was to split up existing organiza
tions. 1t has bleated about craft
unions, but it's units are made up into
crafts. 1t has raved about organiza-
ton, yet it has never been able to even
successfully organize the common la
borer or farm laborer, with which it
is surrounded. 1t has centered it's
activities on attempting to take work
ers out of existing unions"

GERMANS REPORT
Highest Pay Here in Union
Industries

BY International Labor News Service
Washington, D. C.-The higher and
more uniform wages in the United
States are found mainly in industries
which are unionized or which benefit
directly from unionization, according
to the report of German trade union
commission which visited the United
States in the latter part of 1925. The
commissions report was recently is
sued in Berlin.
The commission found that money
wages for skilled labor and for much
of the unskilled labor are from two
to five times as high in the United
States as in Germany and that the
average real wages are about two
and half times as high.
"These higher real wages" the
commission concludes, "are not to be
looked upon as the result of high
production. The contrary is the case.
The opening up of the national
market by the creation of high pur-
chasing power among the mass OF
the population is the secret of Amer
lean industry. Out of this prac-
tice the marvels of technique and the
organization of work grew almost
spontaneously"

"HOUNDED TO DEATH"

Perhaps nothing that has been pub
lished recently on the celebrated
Sacco- -Vanzetti case is more impress
i've than the letter of Fabian Franklin,
well known conservative journalist,
published in the New York Times of
April 81. The letter is in thorough
agreement with the recent utterances
of many we'll known men on the same
subject.
Mr.. Franklin only recently became
concerned over the fate of Sacco and
Vanzetti, but after examining book
on the case written by Prof. Felix
Frankfurter, of Harvard Law School,
and reading an extended account of
the case in the Times, he is convinced
that "the execution of these two men
would be one of the most shocking
judicial outrages on record"
Mr.. Franklin explains his former
lack of interest in these words:
During all these years | took it for
granted that the outcry about the
Sacco-V -Vanzetti case was but an in
stance of anti-capital prejudice and
socialist propaganda. 1t did not seem
possible to me that these humble, ig-
norant, unimportant radical agitators
could have been made the victims of
this particular kind of injustice-of
being bounded to death on charge of
highway robbery for murder, for
which there was no substantial foun-
dation. But this is exactly what hap
pened; and in addition to my indigna-
ton and horror at the injustice, | feel
profound regret, as thorough be-
lever in the right of property and as
an ardent opponent of socialism, at
the injury that will be done to the
conservative cause by the consumma-
tion of this judicial outrage"
Organized labor has long contended
that Sacco and Vanzetti were con-
victed on inconclusive evidence and
that they are entitled to new trial.
1t is glad to see men of the type Of
Fabian Franklin becoming concerned
over the case and joining in the pro-
test against the conviction of the two
men.

Despite the defeat, strong founda-
tion has been laid for renewal of
the fight before the next legislature.
The bill passed the senate, and the
state attorney general ruled that the
measure is constitutional.
while the right of contract is a
part of the individual freedom pro-
tected by the fourteenth amendment
to the federal constitution" said the
attorney general, nothing is better
settled by the repeated decisions of
the supreme court of the United
States than that the right of contract
is not absolute and unyielding, but
subject to limits and restraints in the
interest of public health, safety and
welfare, and such legislation may be
declared in the legislation of the
state"

RAIL MAIL CLERKS
Make Steady Advancement
AS Result of Organi-
ZatiOn

Washington.-"Th younger MEM
bers of our organization will prob
ably never realize the bitter struggle
required to secure the right to act
collectively" says Henry w. Strick-
land, editor of the Railway Post
Office.
"In an attempt to stop this agita-
ton, the department established an
espionage over postal employees. Post
office inspectors spied on meetings of
postal workers and took the names
of those advocating organization and
affiliation with the labor movement.
The inspection division even stopped
to opening private mail of postal en-
ployes suspected of being active in
this agitation as it was called.
"To those who may be inclined to
complain that progress is slow, the
record is cited 1t shows steady, sub
stantial progress, year by year. Not
withstanding the reaction against the
workers, following the World War
the lot of the postal worker in gen
eral has been greatly improved. In
1921 the average salary of a railway
postal clerk was $2,O64, while the aver.
age travel allowance for road service
was $191. Today the average salary
is $2,476 and the average travel allow.

FASCIST LABOR
CHARTER
BY WILLIAM GREEN
President, American Federation of
Labor

L u,
Labor
The so-called Fascist Charter of la
Dor" is proclamation of enslavement
in that it reduces the working people
subject to it to condition of indus
trial servitude.
1t is a blow at human freedom and
sets up compulsory methods in indus
try for private initiative and freedom
of contract.
1t completely destroys the principle
and processes of collective bargaining
The world has never witnessed a
greater exhibition of autocracy gone
mad.
The principles underlying the So
called Charter of labor" are the same
as the principles underlying the in
dustrial and political policies pursued
by the soviet government in Russia.
Each of them seek to establish the
superiority and domination of the
state over the individual and over
individual liberty and human freedom
Through DEGREES they impose upon
the individual rules and regulations
which control the most sacred and the
most priceless possessions of human
life.

LOW WAGES NO SOLUTION

According to Pittsburgh advices to
the Wall Street Journal, coal is very
hard to sell, with some remarkably
low prices for West Virginia COAL"
The public has been assured that
wages of union miners is responsible
for the failure to mine and sell coal
West Virginia operators broke their
union agreement, set up the anti-union
shop, imported armed guards, secured
injunctions and drove wages down to
81 and So. day.
Now we are told that despite "re-
markably low prices" this coal is hard
to sell.
Here is proof that the wage-cutting
coal operators are wrong and that the
union miners are right.
When will these business men ac-
cept the unionists' viewpoint that low
wages is no solution and that through
joint agreements waste can be elimi-
mated and this industry rescued from
generalization
When will sanity replace a starva-
tion, industry-wrecking policy?

At the time the milk wagon drivers
began bargaining, twenty-six years
ago, the best paid men were receiving
$40 a week. Today the minimum
wage is $50 a week and the average
wage for the entire membership is
about $50 week, as in addition to
their wages the men receive a bonus
as well as commission in accordance
with the amount of milk, cream and
butter they distribute.
In the old days the Chicago milk
wagon drivers worked twelve or four

lost it's fight against the "yellow dog"

lature. The workers waged one of

GIVING

1t is certainly gratifying to note the
heartiness with which the people of
Hamilton and Butler county are re-
spending to the appeal of the Red
Cross for aid for the Mississippi fcod
sufferers. 1t looks now that the
amount contributed in Butler county
will exceed three times the original
quota named as expected from the
county. And this sum gradually ac-
cumulating, mind you, is coming in
without any solicitation whatever, all
voluntary contributions. 1t surely
speaks well for the warm hearts in
the people of Butler county and their
generosity. 1t is matter for pride
on the part of all citizens of the
county A community made up of
people of warm hearts and generous
hands is pretty good community to
live in, and such is Butler county.
And, as the response has been to
the Red Cross appeal, so it should be
in the forthcoming Hamilton Com
munity Chest drive And the Press
believes it will be so. Already many
subscriptions have been received and
turned in, mostly all being increases
over the amounts subscribed by the
same donors last year This is fine
indication that the drive will go 'over
the top"
And this is as it should be. Hamil-
ton has twelve agencies for relief and
welfare on the list to be benefited
from the chest. Each and every one
of these agencies are most worthy.
One could go along for hours describ-
ing the good the whole community de-
rives from the work of those twelve
agencies. Lack of space forbids full
description and it shouldn't be neces-
sary Everyone knows, or should
know, of the good work of Hamilton's
relief and welfare agencies. 1t is up
to everyone, who can possibly do so,
to give, and give generously, that the
work of all twelve agencies continues.
So be ready when the solicitor calls
next week. Determine the amount you
are going to give and sign imme-
diately so the solicitor can go right
on to the next giver And above all,
whether you give or do not, don't
argue with the solicitor and try to
tell him how the Community Chest
should be administered and scold him
because some one thing in connection
with the Chest isn't exactly to your
liking. If you are prejudiced against
any one of the agencies, don't use
that as an excuse for not giving to-
wards the aid of the other eleven.
Simply tell the solicitor which one of
the agencies you don't care to assist
and it will be taken care of.
Don't take out your feelings on the
solicitor. His job is only to fill the
Chest, not to empty it. And don't
forget that the solicitor gets nothing
