Chicago, 0. l.. N. S.).-United

DISPLACINC
OF Workers By Harvesting
Machine Becomes Serious

New York.-Machinery is cutting
costs and displacing agricultural la
Dor, says F. M Russell, assistant to
Secretary of Agriculture, writing in
Forbes Magazine.
Last year one-half of Kansas wheat
was cut and harvested with the COM
bine, and this year, it is estimated
the wheat crop of entire counties will
be handled in this manner. Texas,
Oklahoma and other wheat areas are
using the combine.
This machine enables two men to
harvest from 400 to 500 acres of grain
in Is days of actual work 1t reduces
the amount of labor for harvesting 400
acres from 120 days of man labor to
80 days.

Mr.. Russell. "Cotton production has
increased in Texas and Oklahoma
through use of large machine units
By this means one man can plant and
care for rs to $50 acres of cotton
without hiring labor up to time OF

SHOALS VETO" NOT
LEGALLY BINDING

Washingtou.-Th Muscle Shoals
resolution, passed by congress just
before the end of the last session, is
law despite the presidents failure to
sign it or to return it to congress
with a veto message, said Senator
Norris, replying to a query as to the
status of the resolution.
President Coolidge gave the reso-
luton pocket veto," that is, he
took no action. This has raised con-
stitutional point, which is now being
considered by the United States Su-
preme court in another case.
Senator Norris and other friends of
the Muscle Shoals resolution claim
the pocket veto" would annul the
resolution if there We're not another
session of this congress. They insist
that the congress that convenes the
first Monday in December is the same
congress that recently adjourned and
therefore the constitutional provision
regarding vetoes does not apply.

MUST UNITE
Or Railways Be Owned BY
u. S., Says Fess

Washington.-The public will soon
be faced with choice between rail
road consolidation or government
ownership and operation, said Sen.
ator Fess, in public statement
The carriers may consolidate, un-
der the Esch- Cummins act of 1920
but the larger systems refuse to take
over non-paying short lines, which
would reduce their income because
charges for these short lines woulc
have to be met.
"The short lines" said Senator
Fess, "are not paying and can neither
continue on that basis nor be aban
doned; business methods forbid thu
former and public opinion will no
allow the latter"
The Ohio senator objects to com
pulsory consolidation. He predicte'
that when consolidation does come i
will be an evolutionary process.

Reds N0u Aim To
Organize Dual Unions
UNEMPLOYMENT
Shows Decrease in Illinois

Chicago, G. L. N. S).-Although
industrial employment in Illinois fol-
lowed its usual July movement, with a
falling off of or per cent, unemploy-
ment conditions showed decided i'm
provement, due largely to a demand
for thousands of workers in agricul-
tural districts, most of which were
favored by unusually good weather
conditions, according to a statement
issued by the Illinois Department of
Labor, George B. Arnold, director.
The present decline in factory en-
ployment is due primarily to inven-
tory taking and to the usual slack in
business activity during the summer
months. Reports from various lines
of manufacturing give assurance of a
general fall pickup. In the Rock Is

INDIANA LABOR
To Ask Ban On Paint Spray
Machines

Indianapolis, Ind, U. l.. N. 81
The Indiana State Federation of La
Dor will be asked to get behind legis-
lation to ban paint spray machines
except under certain conditions, in
Indiana The plan of the anti-spray
campaign will be discussed at con-
ference of Indiana union painters
September 8, at Evansville.
A six months survey of the use of
paint spray machines conducted by
officials of the painters union dis
closed that of 100 painters who used
the device only one man was able to
continue work after five years use
of the device Following the results
of the investigation the union took
steps to ban the machine because OF
it's deadly effect on those who operate
it.
The painters union will sponsor a
bill before the next legislature to out

Mask Dropped in New Drive
Against Organized Workers

tanning their boring from within pro-
cedure in fields where that process
still seems desirable, but their depar-
ture into the field of open organiza-
ton covers SO wide a range as to be
startling and striking development in
the communist plan for world revolu-
ton, however futile that plan may ul-
timately prove to be. What we are
dealing with is not the ultimate failure
of the plan, but the present phases of
it and the fact that it must be stop
ped. They are now out openly to or
ganize dual unions. Perhaps more as
tonishing than the boldness of the
communists is the fact that they have
as allies some Of the employers of
| America-employer who have fought
! American unions through the medium
of what they have been pleased to
call the open shop.
"The communists efforts at dual
organization are found today in the
needle trades, centering n New York,
the miners, the railway shop unions,
the building trades, the cigar makers
and among the miscellaneous trades.
Aid of Open Shoppers Sought
"In promoting dual unions the COM
munists are openly seeking the CO.
operation of open shop employers. We
welcome this changed attitude, be-
cause now we will know which of our
American employers are willing to
countenance Moscow-controlled labor
organizations, financed by soviet Rus
sia and formed for the specific pur-
pose of furthering the Moscow scheme
of world revolution and dictatorship.
We will now find out how our open
shop employers with alleged Ameri-
can and patriotic war cries will take
to their bosoms the doctrines of COM
munism and the Vaccinations of COM
munists. We will likewise learn which
workers have been subverted by COM
munist propaganda and have become
communist in action as we'll as in
spirit.
"At last the American Federation of
Labor has driven the communists from
under cover into the open. Perhaps,
too. their employer allies will be
forced into the open and demonstrate
can Institutions or soviet propaganda
; whether they are conducting Ameri-
}, agencies. And last, but not least, the
public will come to learn more fully
of the great service rendered by Amer

YOUTH CRIES FOOLTSHLY

eve want war, Mr.. President" Six thousand
well meaning but horribly misguided Bolivian youths
are reported to have shouted the cry Sunday night
while parading in the capital of Bolivia.
They shouted aloud their desire for war against
Paraguay in retaliation for the incident of last week
when Bolivian and Paraguayan troops clashed in a
dispute over fort the boundary line between the
two countries.
None will doubt that there is cause for heated
feeling and in the excitement it is but natural that
national honor and pride should override camness
and reflection
These Bolivian youths know nothing of war or
they would not be desirous for it. They. perhaps
would feel differently if they could talk with the mil
lions of men living who know the hell. the horror
and it is not certain that these youths or any other
youths fired by the love of adventure especially when
the adventure is mixed with patriotism, would heed the
advice of the experienced.
Not from the youths of Bolivia and Paraguay must
expect reasoning and sincere effort to eX-
haust every effort before resortng war But it is
certainly to be hoped that the leaders both countries
will reflect long and we'll before committing their peo-
pie to the sword.
South America has been singularly free from war

but they have been settled allowed to remain dead is
