there is not enough money in the

salaries, additional tax levies may
be assessed.
Another very important item
if the Marshall bill is defeated, and
| sincerely believe it should be,
justices OF the peace will continue
to serve in civil cases as they al
ways have. Radical adherents of
the bill are attempting to lead
voters into believing that it's de-
feat will mean abolition of justice
courts. This is absolutely an an
truth.
For Law Enforce meat
Il want you to know that we are
solidly for strict law enforcement,
but that We insist that it be safe,
sane, impartial and unselfish. II
you do vote for the Marshall bill,
we do not want you to do so under
the grossly false impression, cre-
ated by It's adherents, that it VIII
have no direct bearing upon mo-
torists.
The bill provides that the us-
tees OF peace will not have final
jurisdiction in automobile cases,
EXCEPT IN CASE THE MOTOR
IST SIGN A WAIVER GIVING
THE JUSTICE SUCH FINAL
JURISDICTION.
That last clause is the joker.
Motorists who are miles away from

such waiver and submitting them

I plead with you, as Law abid-
ing citizens, not to legalixe this
tremendous system of graft and
looting and to vote mo- on the
Marshall bill. In so doing, am
following the dictates Of my asso-
citation whose delegates In conven-
ton assembled unanimously voted
to oppose the bill. These delegates
represent the 164, 900 members OF

no other king like him. He was "the
works" and no successor is going to
WELD his power or possess his
shrewdness.
The Rev. Francis Mcbride has been
picked to essay the job, but the magic
spell that Wayne Wheeler cast over
legislators is broken and "all the
kings horses" can't put that together
again.
This doesn't necessarily mean any
quick change in conditions. 1t does
mean that one stage has been passed
and new deal is in the making for
better or for worse.

ties there is no such fund What,
then, will they do? They will seek
to make their legal graft" by fin
ing sufficient number of automobile
"culprits." Let no one believe other
wise. That's human nature. They
will have-if you permit it-a law
that authorizes such practice. The
"bootlegger" yell is calculated merely
to raise a dust to blind the eyes of
the careless and unthinking. Don't
be careless in this matter. Be sure
to vote, and vote against the Mar
shall iniquity. Do more than that,
| if you are good citizen-contribute
to the legitimate expenses of the cam
paign which is being conducted
against this rotten thing by Senator
Bender and his constitutional en-

this matter. We need every vote and

FOOLISHNESS ABOUT FIGHT
FILMS
Certain United States district at
torneys are raising all manner of fuss
about Dempsey Tunney fight films,
arresting theatre owners here and
there and talking loudly about arrest
ing Rickard and others.
What twaddle! Few will care to
defend the big fnanciers, including
the fight principals, for whatever may
be their share in the profits or fight
films. And it is idle to quarrel with
those who say the pictures are of a
sort to beastilize audiences. That is
all beside the point.
The point is that prize fighting
itself is legalized in most states
where the films would be shown. Ii
the fights are legal it is most in
consistent thing to bar the pictures
Moreover, radio descriptions took the
fight almost literally into millions OF
homes. The inconsistency of Ameri-
can civilization grows each year.
If we can only carry our inconsist-
encies to the point where we begin
laughing at our foolishness we may
have some hope of escape from the
network of prohibitory laws and reg
ulations which puritanical minorities
have succeeded in forcing through
browbeaten law-making bodies.

Declaration of labor's purpose to
go after a shorter work week has got
the reactionary old boys gasping for
air. My word, d'ja ever, ever hear
such nonsense?
But it isn't nonsense, old dears.
Most papers say it's the fve-day
week that labor is after That's what
the papers say, but labor only said a
shorter" week. 1t may be five days
maybe four.
For good many workers right now
in these piping times of peace, pros
perity and Mussolini, there are no
days of work per week.
AS with most things, this, too, is
relative.
And labor, as was clearly stated
in its convention, proposes to match
a shortening of work time against
increase in production.
So the old boys don't need to look
for the fire escape yet. Labor is
going to be darned sight more SEN
sible about this than they think-but
determined nevertheless not to be en-
tirely the goat in this machine age

TWO CHICAGO SCHOOLS
NOW BEAR NAMES OF
TRADE UNION CHIEFS
Two Good Gompers Stories
By JOSEPH A. WISE
Staff Correspondent, International
Labor News Service

Chicago.-The Samuel Gompers
Public School, dedicated here July 16,
dedicated here July 16 is not the first
Chicago public school to be named in
honor of a trade union officer, we are
reminded by George B. Arnold, di-
rector of the Illinois Department of
Labor. The elementary public school
at 1040 North Keller Avenue was
dedicated in honor of Rein Orr, in
ternational treasurer of the Amalaga-
mated Association of Street and Elec-
tric Railway Employees of America,
in 1919, Mr.. Arnold points out.
Orr, a pioneer with w. D. Mahon
and others in organizing the now big
and powerful union of street car men,
died in 1918. He won great reputa-
ton as an organizer and was highly
esteemed not only by the rank and
file of his own union, but by large
numbers of men and women with
whom he came in contact in the gen
eral labor movement.
George B. Arnold, also union
street car man and now director of
labor of the State of Illinois, was a
member of the Chicago Board of Edu-
cation at the time of Orr's death
Arnold proposed the name of Rein
Orr for the then new school on Keel
er Avenue, and the other members of
the board acquiesced.

the 1919 strike and for three years
afterward Judge Gary and experts of
the Iron and Steel Institute present
ed pages of figures to show that the
industry could not give up the twelve
hour day or 24-hour shift. For
more than a year after President Har-
ding asked reconsideration of the
issue, and after public opinion had
decisively asserted itself, the Steel
Corporation held out. Now we read
that wages have held firm; that steel
prices have tended downward, and
that the Steel Corporation has re-
manned astonishingly prosperous. We
read of ''invisible" gains. Labor
turnover has grown less and less.
Men work better.
Steel mill executives hold that
with the eight-hour day has come
greater employe efficiency. Whether
this can be measured in dollars and
cents, of course is not clear. 1t is
certain, however, that the increased
efficiency of employees and the appar-
ent added contentment in the ranks
of steel organizations have resulted
in economies in operations and in
many lines.
This is quite apart from the social
gain which President Harding had in
view. He voiced the public condem-
nation of system which. held tens
of thousands of immigrant workers
in their shops, without time for Amer
icanization or education at great risk
to health. 1t would have been worth
while to give up the system at a
money gain simply bears out the pre-
moneyg ain simuly bears out the pre-
dictions of far-sighted economists.

On another occasion President
Gompers was riding in an old horse
drawn cab through the streets of
Brooklyn, N. Y. The cabby, in his
hurry to reach the hall where Mr..
Gompers was to speak, had taken a
short cut over very rough street,
"Say, driver, haven't you picked out
pretty bumpy street?" Mr.. Gompers
asked.
"Oh, that's all right, Mr.. Gompers,
l know every bump in this street" "
answered the cabby.

haven't missed any," Mr.. Gompers
replied.

George w. Perkins, lifelong friend
and associate of Samuel Gompers in
the Cigar Makers International Union
and in the A. F. of L., was in remin-
iscent mood while on the long auto
mobile ride out to the dedication ex
ercises of the Samuel Gompers School.
Mr.. Perkins told a couple of stories
that are worth repeating.
Many years ago, when the Ameri
can Federation of Labor was very
young and very poor, it devolved upon
Mr.. Gompers to make public ad-
dress at Albany, N. Y. He wore
Prince Albert coat in those days, but
the coat had become rather thread
bare.
Mr.. Perkins said he noticed that
there was a fine threaded fringe
around the bottoms of the sleeves and
the skirt of the coat. Mr.. Gompers
had small pair of scissors, and Mr..
Perkins proceeded to trim the cuffs
and the tail of the coat, afterward
giving it a thorough brushing.
"Mr. Gompers appeared on the plat
form Immediately dressed" said one
of the newspapers the following morn
ing.
"There, Sam, that's what comes Of
having good valet" said Mr.. Per-
kins to the famous trade union Of
fcer.
