A MESSAGE FROM MRS. FOSSEEN
ITO Emma Gum Perkins)


There are few women who are not
familiar with the great service rem
Gered by Mr.. Hoover during the war
and after the war. His record is a
record of achievement, and we women
have faith in this great ambassador
of peace. We have faith in this man
of ideas and ideals who, when he has
decided upon policy, brings it to
successful conclusion.
Every great man of action leaves
an impression of his character with
the people. The American public,
when it thinks of Hoover, thinks of
him as man interested in the living
side of life, who believes there are
no unavoidable problems and no un-
surmountable obstacles. y r.
am sending this message to you
in the hope that you will join a
Hoover Club in your community.
Elect your officers, divide your mem
bers so as to cover completely every
home in your town and every farm
home in your territory. Send for
pledge cards and get them signed.
Use these cards on election day as
check and see that every signer
goes to the polls. Please send in the
number of pledges received in your
canvas to your secretary, who will
send in the total pledges received.
From now until November 6, Hoov-
erie all your activities; give Hoover
Luncheons, Hoover Teas, Hoover
Husking Bees, Hoover Quilting Bees,
Think Hoover-Talk Hoover-ELECT
HOOVER.

LABOR PROTECTED

The opinion of Supreme Court Jus.
tice Wasservogel, of New York, in the
Interborough Rapid Transit applica.
tion for an injunction against labor
unions ought to throw some light or
the injunction problem, now that it is
before congress.
This particular opinion is based on
common sense and renders substan-
tial justice. 1t also throws judicial
light on the so-called company union
and the contracts which seek to pre-
vent employees from joining any union
but the one organized and controlled
by an employer. The Interborough
Rapid Transit Co., of New York, or
ganized one of these company unions
and called it brotherhood
1t then sought an injunction re-
|straining the American Federation of
Labor and the Amalgamated Street
Railway Union from attempting to
get employees of the Interborough to
join the Amalgamated or any other
union besides the company brother
hood.
Justice Wasservogel refused to
grant the injunction and said the con-
tract between the Interborough and
its employees was unfair and that a
court of equity would not protect it.
While the contract bound employees
to work for the company for two
years and not to join any other union
than the company union, it left the
company practically free to discharge
any employe at any time.
Had the sweeping injunction been
allowed as asked by the INTERIOR
ough it would have been a deadly
blow at organized labor, but the re-
fusal to grant it and the denunciation
of the company union as unfair and

CAN'T GUST
Hand Cotton Picker With
Machine

Fort Worth, Texas.-Stories of
mechanical cotton picker that will
supplant hand labor are untrue, says
C. w. Woodman, veteran trade union
ist and assistant director farm labor
division of the United States depart
ment of labor, in letter to Frank
Morrison, secretary A. F. of l..
Mr.. Woodman denies that mechan-
ical cotton pickers gathered 80 or
90 per cent of the cotton in Texas
in 1927"
Mechanical cotton pickers did not
gather to exceed 100 bales" writes
Mr.. Woodman. Special agents in
the farm labor division witnessed the
experiments. A number of men with
whom am well acquainted were pres
ent and the truth of the matter is, the
mechanical picker that can pick sue
cessfully has not been invented. Ap-
parently we are as far from a sue
cessful picker as we were when j
came to Texas more than 40 years
ago.
II am writing to you because one
of the effects of the stories might be
to make it more difficult to finance
the farm labor division, which, dur
ing the past few years has served
an average of 100000 farm laborers
in the southern states, and to my
mind is necessity"

PRIVATE PENSIONS PROVE
bad BUSINESS"

Individual department store own
ers, in their convention in New York
city, declared against pensioning old
employees.
These employers have evidently
discovered that this system is 'bad
business" An investigation by the
United States bureau of labor stats
tics reveals that not one of these sys-
TENS is on sound basis, and that
eventually employers will have to pay
unexpected large amounts or repud-
late their agreement.
The discovery has weakened faith
in this paternalism, and department
store owners are getting back to fun

CONFUSING THE ISSUE

The Shipstead anti-injunction bill
provides that on court order shall be
issued except to protect property.
Nothing shall be held to be property
unless it is tangible and transferable.
Opponents claim such a law would
invalidate patents, trademarks and
copyrights.
Patents, trademarks and copy
rights are tangible. They are real
substantial, evident. They are the
sole possession of the owner, who is
protected by law, just as is the owner
of houses, land or money.
All of these can be sold or other
wise transferred, and use of same
without owners authority, can be en-.
joined in an equity court. The owner
of such property can also sue fol
damages in civil court.
The power to labor, good will OF
patronage are neither tangible OF
transferable. They are inherent il
each individual.

AND so. CHEER UP A BIT!

The coal strike is to be investigated.
What a dishing of the dirt there will
be! The Interborough is denied its
big injunction. 1t seems it is still i'm
possible to indict nation and equally
impossible to enjoin one.
These are patches of silver lining
to the cloud of murk and gloom that
has contained the injunction evil, the
Mellon despotism, the oil scandal, the
power trust lobby and other similar
soiled linen.
Thus slowly, but surely, humanity
vindicates its right to rule itself
keeps its grip on basic faith ant
shows that faith in the future is justi
fed.

"He seeks reasonable hours of EN-.

New York.-A federal sales tax,
urged several years ago, is revived
in the Financial World by Senator
Smoot, of Utah.
The measure would place tax
on every sale. This is opposed by
organized labor on the ground that
the poor man spends more, in proper
tion to his income, than does the rich
man.

spect" it is unfortunate that under

PRISON-MADE GARMENTS

The country is flooded with work
garments made in prisons by convicts
working under unspeakable condi-
tions. The health of these convicts,
many suffering from contagious di-
seases, is of no concern to the con-
tractors, who lease this prison labor
from the state. Neither are they
concerned about your health or the
health of your children, who may be
infected through wearing these germ
laden garments; nor do these con
tractors, who have no business repu-
tation to uphold, care anything about
the quality of their convict-made gar
ments, so long as they can sell them
at tremendous profit. Under pres
sure of severe discipline prisoners are
driven to the limit of human endur-
ance to produce quantity, quantity
and still more quantity. Under fake
and misleading labels these unsani
tary garments are dumped into
stores and sold to the unsuspectine
public. Fortunately, however, there
| is one sure way for you to guarc
against this menace-one sure way tc
