GOVERNMENT SLABS
AT WOLL'S UNION

Observation-Disclosures 10 of
the standard wage agreemnt between
organized employers and local unions
in the photo-engraving industry is
outlawed by an order just issued by
the Federal Trade Commission.
This clause, as it originated in
Chicago in 1915, read: "In order that
the Union may secure the adoption
and carrying out by all photo-en-
craving concerns in Chicago of the
scale of wages and working conditions
herein specified, and have the respon-
sibility Of said Club 1.-THE local asso-
citation of employers) for their observ-
ance and performance, the Union
hereby requests, and the Club hereby
agrees, that tn Club will admit to It's
membership all reputable photo-en-
craving concerns in Chicago and in
consideration thereof and of the as
sumption of the responsibility by the
Club for any and all violations of said
scale OF wages and working conditions
by every member of the Club, the
Union agrees that its members will
work only for such photo engraving
concerns as are members of the Club.
provided that the Club shall not ar.
oltrarily or for any but good cause.

In lengthy statement issued nv
the Commission in Washington. tbe
order directed against the American
Photo- Engravers' Assn. to "cease and
desist" from the Combination and
conspiracy" which it found in this ar
rangement, is explained as seeking TO
restore fair competition. Chairman
humphreys dissented from a further
ruling of the majority that the Init
Ihoto-Engravers' Union, its affiliated
local unions, their officers and mem
o,ers, should be freed of the conspiracy

tions both economic and political op-
crate to the advantage of the league.
The farmers need legislation in their
interest as much as they have ever
needed it. The forces Of reaction are
somewhat split. Two influential l.
V. A. leaders are demanding endorse
ment at the /. V. A. convention for
the U. S. Senatorship. AS a result
much i'll feeling has been created.
The platform of the League is one
that will appeal to the rank and file
more than any that the League has
advocated in years. Due to the in
fluence of certain Farmer-Laborites in
the convention, the leaguers adopted
a plank providing for the extension Of
the operations of the bank of North
Dakota into the several counties of
the state. This plank reads as fol-
lows:
Extension of Bank of N. ID. Demanded
I'VE demand that the bank of
North Dakota be operated as a peo-
pies bank and that it be operated
by the industrial commission and
that it be operated as a real bank
and not as a mere adjunct to the
private banks, performing merely
the functions of a clearing house.
We are for the establishment of a
branch of the bank of North Da-
kota in any county whenever a ma.
jority of the people of such county
demand it,"
The convention also went on record
in favor of the establishment of more
state owned terminal elevators within
the state and chat the mill and ele-
vator association be operated in the
interest of the farmers and consumers
of this state" and that it be freed
from the influence of Twin City and
other milling combines.
Independent Political Action Desired
1t is quite evident that the more in
telligent and active of the League
leaders are in favor of resortinp to
Independent political action and to
shed the cloak of hypocrisy which
must be made use of so long as re-
sort to capture of the Republican
primary is had. It is all but a GER
tainty that should the League candi-
dates fail of nomination in the Repub-
lican primary in June a full slate Of
candidates will be placed in the field
at the general election under the des-
lgnation Farmer-Labor Should this
happen it will probably mark the end
OF nonpartisanship in North Dakota
by the progressives of that state.

Mr.. Box would apply quota laws to

Senator Watson, Indiana, has a bill
similar to that Of Mr.. Box. He and
Senator Reed, Pennsylvania. are
working for it.
The Watson bill provides that "the

this subdivision, shall be 2 per centum
Oh the number of foreign born individ-
uals of such nationality resident in
continental United States, as deter
mined by the Unites State census Of

Paragraph 2 referred to provides
that the percentage quota of each of
Canada, Newfoundland, Mexico, Cuba,

Central and South America, shall be
10 per centum Of the number of for

mum percentage quota Of any such

The Watson acts lifts the bar
against the Mexicans and others but
not as high as Mr.. Box would raise
them.

DEPLORES BUT Of
FERS NO SOLUTION

Washington - FP-Secretary OF
Labor Davis, speaking before the
Marine Engineers Beneficial Assn, in
national meeting in Washington, Feb.
ID, deplored the failure of modern
industrial society to provide new JOBS
for men displaced by machinery. He
said society "owes a solemn duty" TO
the workers, to see that they are not
strapped.
However, Davis offered no motion
toward securing the help of the adj
ministration in meeting this solemn
duty. He offered no plan for bring
ing jobs to the unemployed.
