LABOR DAY

Labor day. The one day in the yea
when the sons of toiI-the organized
workers-join together in visible
demonstration of their solidarity ane
strength. The occasion is observed
over the United States, wherever or
gained labor has rooted and grown.
This year finds some crafts in a
struggle to maintain a descent, saving
wage; others have Just emerged from
4 long-draWn battle with enemies that
would destroy their organizations, but
on the whole organized labor, like the
embattled farmers at Lexington, has
won its place in the sun.
Coal miners, members of the United
Mine Workers of America, in mayn
districts within the jurisdiction of the
organization, are fighting game bat

maintain a wage scale that gives them
at least an adequate living Being up

Pennsylvania, thug control in West

obstacles il other districts, is not a
pleasant situation, but it does empha-
size the need of solidarity, when prin-
eiples are involved, and the necessity
for completely expressing those prin-
ciples on Labor day.
Various crafts and organizations in
New York and elsewhere have en-
gagged in sharp fights with destructive
groups seeking to turn the unions into
factors for their own ends and smash
ing organized labor as such. In all
cases the enemies of labor have been
routed horse and foot. These separ-
ated incidents illustrate the strength
of trade unionism in America. It is
no institution of mushroom growth
with ephemeral ideas, but one embody-
ing the great principles of justice and
equality. Organized labor has never
asked for more than what is rightfully
Its own, as guaranteed under the con-
stltution. The expressions it gives
out Labor day through it's marching
thousands, its waving banners and
trenchant words, speak what labor
stands for. Labor rganized-has

TARIFF NECESSARY TO FARM
PROSPERITY

In a discussion of some phases of
the protective tariff the Las Vegas.
New Mexico, Daily Optic recently
said: Reduction of the tariff would
not help the farmer in lowered prices
for what he has to buy. It would
close American factories, make idle
American workmen and so destroy the
home market which is now taking
fouf-flfths or more of all the produce
the farmer raises. The farmer is
slowly improving his condition, and
certainly he would not help himself
to go forward any faster by running
the country generally and destroying
his own best market in the bargain.
"The tariff does help the farmer as
brief study of the situation will
show. Arthur Chew, Washington
writer, recently summed up the situa-
tion in the following words: AS a
matter of fact agriculture would lose
more than industry from a success
full attack on the tariff, because its
competitive position in which many of
its leading products will be on an i'm
port basis, and will then profit mate
rally from the tariff. On the other
hand, industry is moving toward an
export basis. In these circumstances,
an attack by agriculture on the tariff
is sheer insanity.
" In the calendar year 1924, as per
cent of our imports of dutiable articles
consisted Of essentially competitive
agricultural products. 1t is therefore
obvious that large proportion of
our farmers are subject to keen for
eign competition, not simply in for
eign markets, but in the domestic
markets. These farmers would prob
ably find themselves in the bank
ruptcy courts were tariff protection
taken from Them"

cause he has shown that he can

and direct it through to success.
Through fourteen years-ever since
Belgium-he has been handling some

them. He has shown that he is not
afraid of size.
The greatest job that the world has

line politicians even knows that it
exists. We have developed this eoun-
try just enough during the past six
or seven years to know that much
which was thought to be impossible
can be made possible under the right
leadership.
The task is to make such use of
the experience we have gained that
we can build rightly for the future
Otherwise We are going to lose all
that we have gained.
We have the men, we have the
money and we can make the tools
for the job. But all these will be
useless without leadership. That
leadership, because the thing is ma
tional, must be in the President.
Hoover Has Proved Leadership
The quality of Hoover's leadership
requires no experimenting. 1t is a
demonstrated fact.
But of what value is experience in
the management of public affairs?
What difference does 1t make who is
President?
We all have our personal prefer
ences, but a mere preference is not
important If it be true, as is said.
that no real issues are before the
country, then any man of reasonable
ability will make an acceptable Presi-
dent.
1t is quite true that we have no
real political issues. But we have an
economic problem which looms great
er than any of the old issues. 1t is
not in politics. 1t cannot4be deserib-
ed in the old language of politics.
No one is much concerned now with
liberty and independence as tied up
with the right to vote. We have all
the rights our forefathers struggled
for. We are concerned with new and
different rights and responsibilities.
The great issue is to develop this
country to a point where every man
and woman has the opportunity both
to work and to play.
We have proved that wages can be
made high. We have now to prove
that they can be continuously paid
that there will be no periods of I'm.
employment over which the worker
cannot finance himself.

the future should be planned. But |

recognize the sacrifices made in their
interest by the labor press.
The non-partisan political policy of
Inc American Federation Of Labor has
proved its wisdom. During the last
IL years 200 laws of direct benefit to
labor have been enacted by congress
while all state legislatures have
passed important remedial legislation.
One reason for the success of the
legislation urged by the American
Federation of Labor is that it benefits
all the people except the privileged
few. Labor asks for nothing that is
not good for the people generally. 1t
has stood by the farmer in his efforts
for economic advancement. 1t always
las supported any practical legislation
That would benefit the farmers. 1t
mas aided every movement that has for
its purpose the advancement of hui

While these are only few of the
outstanding gains made by labor in the
last At years they are sufficient to
show that on this Labor day we have
much for which to be thankful. On
this day we should renew our pledge
of continued and vigorous agitation
for more progress and still more prog
ress.
We should make it our endeavor to
accomplish greater and greater results
so that on our next Labor day we can
say as we have said on every other

that is always period of temporary

country's Development Just Begun
In short, We are not using what
we have. There is tendency to
think of the country as already de.
yeloped, when actually the develop.
ment has scarcely begun. We have
already gone further than any other
nation. We have done this by taking
advantage of science in a large social
way for the benefit of all. The whole
country is in flux. If an industry or
an industrial unit tries-eYen for a
little while-to stand still. 1t never
catches up again.
New methods in farming ere com.
ing in as quickly as are the Few meth
DDS in industry. New methods are
adopted in both industry and agricul-
ture only because they make a fuller
use Of materials and men than did the
old methods.
We have reached our present point
without plan, but to go much further
we need the opening of the country
on SO broad a basis that the Govern
ment itself must aid. The old sys
tenn is going out of business; there is
no cure but the wisdom to welcome
the new era, which will not alone
solve our present problems but abo
ISL them utterly.
Herbert Hoover has the grasp MOI
only of this country but of the world,
and hence of this country's relations
with the world. He is a young man;
he belongs to the new era. He has the
IDEAS of the new era and the proved
ability to put them into practice. That
s why l am for him. ~

20 shillings, or about $fS6 - into 1000 mills. The scheme was rejected because it was thought it would involve too great change.
 Another scheme now brought forward, with the support of many chambers of commerce and the executive committee of the British Institute, calls for division of the shilling into 10 instead of 12 pen pies. The value of the penny will be increased. but the chambers of commerce say there has been q change in values since the pre- war days anyway.
 Business firms are in favor of this idea because it would make possible reintroduction of penny postage instead of the penny half penny or three cent postage in use today. Statisticians, accountants and auditors favor the new plan because it facilitates calculation of percentages,

INTANGIBLE, Alaska. May T. The headless body of Christian Scheffstad, who was missing since 1913, was found in the woods neac here in 1922. A skull has been found in the same vicinity which the Smithsonian Institute officials said was the head of male about 55.
 Scheffstad was 54 years of age when he disappeared.
 The skeleton was moss covered. There was a rifle alongside. When he disappeared his boat was found on the beach. Two searching par ties failed to find any trace. A coroner's jury found no evidence of foul play.
 Scheffstad was an uncle of Mrs. Ernest F. Walker, whose husband was former head of the United States Biological Survey in Alas, ka, with his headquarters at Jul neau.

Lone Star Delegation Will Be for Dry Plank and

DALLAS, Tex. May 7.-The bone dry Democrats emerged from the opening skirmish with other factions of the party in Texas strongly favored to win it's cam paign fer a delegation to the Democratic National Convention uninstrueted for or against any Presidential candidate After a drive led by Gov. Dan Moody the dry faction demonstrated it's strength in the precinct conven- tions by obtaining control by a large majority of the delegates to the State Convention in Fl of the 253 counties of the State that the leaders of opposing fac tions made little effort to secure complete returns.
 Gov. Moody's forces demanded a delegation uninstructed for Presidential candidates, but in- structed to work for dry plank in the National platform and for a dry nominee for President.
 Announcements from Gov. Moody and Jesse H. Jones that they would not be candidates for the Presidential nomination and the withdrawal of Senator Thomas ]. Walsh left Gov. Smiths supporters virtually alone in the campaign for instructed delegates from the county con ventions that will be held tomor- row. However, the Smith sup porters are not opposed to the Moody plan.
