BOSSES REALIZE
MASS PICKETINC
is Good WEAPON
Are Better at It Than
VOL or Lewis
(By a Worker Correspondent)

wy U w W hCI OOIIOo pOHU6bCJ
Our so-called trade union leaders
or, as w. 2. Foster calls them in his
book, "misleaders," are campaigning
with might and main to prevent work
ers from striking, mass picketing, etc.
In general they are against any mill
tant action of the workers. The rea-
sons they give are that these things
are not "fine" and respectable"
On May 2, was present at a meet
ing Of the Retail Grocery and Dairy
Owners Association of Greater New
York.
These store owners are now trying
to close their stores at p. m. Some
of the owners are not willing to close
their stores at that hour. There was
a discussion at the meeting over this
point.
A motion was carried to mass
picket every store that does not
close at s p. m.
The wives of the store owners were
drawn into the struggle also. Last but
not least these men will use little
education besides agitation.
1t seems that the business men un-
derstand the role of mass picketing
better than the union officials and are
not afraid to use it.
I wonder what Lewis, Woll and the
rest of the gang would say about it.
Had it been the Furriers, they would
have been called Reds.
There is no need to comment on this
story. Mass picketing is very good
weapon for the workers. Let's make
use of it in the time of necessity. In
this instance think it wouldn't hurt
US if we learned from these business
men.

500 Line CUTS
WORKERS PAY
Men Forced to Board
Selves in Bunk Cars
(By a Worker Correspondent

(By a Worker Correspondent
FOND DU LAC, Wis, (By Mail)
Taking advantage of the wide
spread unemployment, especially
among the unskilled workers, the 500
Line has cut their hourly rate for
section laborers from 35 cents to 80
cents per hour, or a cut of "a cents
per eight hour day.
These laborers are boarding them
selves in bunk cars which are furn-
ished by the company.
A daily wage of $3.50 per day and
the necessity of living in railroad
bunk cars will certainly appeal to Cal
Coolidge and the rest of the "pros-
perity' shouters as an earnest of the
kind of prosperity" they mean when,
tongue-in-check, they hand out this
soft soap to the workers.

Many Of Them Are Active Po-
litiCal Workers

Washington. Aug. 8. tP}-The en-
thusiastic "suffragotte' of 1920,
with her trailing skirts and feather
bedecked hat, has changed as rapid
ly in knowledge of the country's af-
fairs and how to use the vote as
she has in dress, in the opinion of
Miss Belle SherWin, president of
the National League of Women
! Voters.
August &c marks the eighth an
niyersary of American women be-
ing given the vote. Women have
participated in two presidential
elections. and Miss Sherwin be-
ileves they will take the greatest
part in history in the coming cam
paign and election.
That will be due, she says, to
the striking personalities in the
campaign, and the likelihood that
| real issues will be wildly discuss
! ed"
There will be no formal observ-
ances of the eighth anniversary
but clubs throughout the country
will note it with informal gather
ings of SOME sort.
In 1920, leaders point out. women
mostly cast vote just because of
the principle of the thing; but to-
day they are politically minded,
| calm and instructed, and it is as
serted the body of non-voting wo-
men who take no interest in things
political, is not proportions 'ely any
greater than the same group of
men voters.
The names of many women of the
later day suffrage movement still
are on the lists of active political
workers. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait,
who for Is years was president of
the National American Women's
Suffrage Association. has devoted
her attention y the last eight years
to the National Conference IN the
Cause and Cure of War.
Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, who
worked with Susan B. Anthony as
young girl, now is a member of
the advisory committee OF the ma
tional republican committee and a
member of the board of the League
of Women Voters.
Mrs. James w. Morrison, first
vice president of the League, was
responsible for the Chicago parade
OF Would-be women voters in 1916
that resulted, in spite of a down
pour Of rain, in the first suffrage
plank in the republican national
platform.

AIR TRANSPORT
HELPS BUSINESS
Financial Assistance Given by
. Aviation Expansion

Washington. Aug. 8. (UP)-
Business, big and little, is turning
to aviation transportation more and
more, and increasing demands for
air mail and express service are
being made from all over the Unit
ed States.
The recent reduction Of the air.
mail rate has resulted in daily
demands from business men in
many smaller cities for extension
of this service, Maj. Clarence
Young, head of the aviation branch
of the commerce department said
today. His branch is spending ST.
100000 this year improving airways
in all parts of the nation.
Business men in general, outside
Of the aviation industry, have de-
voted themselves to promoting air
ports and aviation services, in order
to make the newer and faster trans
portation available to them, A. &.
Barber, head of the U. S. Chamber
of Commerce Transportation and
Communication department. said
Business men are committing
themselves to pay millions in taxes
through bond issues and other
means of raising money to pay for
municipal airports over the coun-
try, Barber said
Barber pointed to a recent survey
of business use of air mail and ex-
press by banks, insurance compa-
MES and other concerns, which
showed that 40 per cent used it
extensively and Al per cent occa-
sionally.
Banks are sending checks, drafts
securities, shipping documents. and
other important rush messages.
Insurance companies send letters
applications, daily reports. policies
bonds and mortgages, and business
houses send contracts, advertising
copy and proofs. urgently-needed
repairs, news pictures, and many
other articles.
Barber said the chamber of COM
merce were spending millions of
dollars in promoting aviation IA
cllities, making surveys of airports,
selling the air mail and express to
their members, and helping to OBJ
tam air mail and air-Way services
for their communities.
Many committees on aviation
have been formed over the country,
and the national chamber has or
ganlzed an aeronautics COMMITTEES

WEALTHY BROKER
 TRIES SUICIDE
Albert Sach Had Been Sued by Father

Providence, R. I. Jan. 10 R1 Albert Sack, Jr.. wealthy Providence sportsman and investment broker who is reported to have attempted suicide in Brooklyn early this morn ing, figured in a sensational law suit at Boston in 1923 when his father sued to recover what was left of sl,000.000 he had given him.
 In 1919 the elder Sack. founder and president of the Lymansville Company. a large textile plant was about to undergo critical opera tion, and gave his two sons, A. AL Bert Jr., and George D. Sack of New York and Nova Scotia. each half of his fortune.
 A. Albert Sack Jr.. received ap- proximately s1.000.00o which his father asserted was given him in trust. The son was to pay the father half the income until November 16. 1925. Instead. his father asserted. he deposited $so0.oo0 in trust with the Old Colony Trust Company of Boston. reserving the right to re- move or alter the trust.
 Depleted Trust.
 The elder Sack charged his son with having revoked. altered and de- pleted the trust. sold the securities. wasted the proceeds. and failed to make the payments. The case was settled out of court.
 In January 1928, Sack was divorc- ed from Louise Waldron here on the technical grounds of neglect to pro- vide. Propositions read in court re- ,ealed that he had settled forunte of s30a,0n0 upon her. In June of this year Sack married Marion Grant, stock actress who has made occasional appearance on Broad- way.
 When the elder Sack died in April 1925. leaving . fortune which has since grown to e5.oOo.0o0. he he- queathed his widow $25.00O but left lis sons nothing. The will provided that each should receive $s.000 year. ly upon the death of their mother, but that the residue should be held in trust for the elder Sacks grand children by. blood.
 Friends of Sack In Providence this morning were at loss to account fer the name Edith attributed to Sacks wife in dispatches froM New York announcing the alleged at tempt at suicide.
