Chicago, Sept. 1o.-(R-A little
boy with = black eye wandered into a
Joliet, Ill, filling station last night,
and the 13-day search for the kid
mapped Billy Ranieri was ended.
It was very calm youngster who
said to the attendant, George Mats:
Il want to 60 home. I've been kid.
Mapped"
Calm, particularly in view Of the
fact that his disappearance, the de-
mand for $4,000 ransom for his re.
turn, and . sequence Of threatening
letters to his parents had numbed
with dread the Sicilian community Of
Chicago in which he lived.
The lad, who is 10 years old, was
unhurt except for the eye discolora-
ton, caused, he said, by = blow from
one Of the kidnaper's fists. He told
a connected story Of imprisonment
on q farm and had . good word to

point, which Ne repeatedly smpha-
sized during the hours Of question
ing by Sheriff Margraf, was that
he wanted to 60 home "and see my

Hit Him For Yelling
"They hit me over the head in the
eye when they dragged me into
| their car" Billy said/ reciting the
details Of the kidnapping September
8. "They kept telling me to shut
up, and when ! hollored anyway,
they hit me-"
The boy said he was taken by his
two abductors to q farm house. He
didn't know exactly where it was.
1.-THE men who kidnapped me were
Italians" he said.
The boys release came after 20.
lice had announced that their inves-
tigation was drawing to . close net

Commissioner Siege declared last
night that he believed the boy would
be set free within . few hours.
Turned Him Loose
Billy said that the same two men
who had kidnapped him % he was
starting home from school two
weeks ago turned him loose last
night. They put him in an automo-

said. They stopped and one Of the
men gave. him SO bill.
"Walk straight ahead" the man
told him, until you come to . street

workingman's family when the father
is laid off, The most important fea-
ture of unemployment is the effect on
the family morale-the father idle
about the house, unsettled, disheart-
ened; the mother going out to work
if she can secure it, and using up ev-
cry bit of her strength in the double
task of providing for the family's
maintenance and the children; the
children suffering from the depression
and uncertainty of what the future
may mean, which is even more to be
dreaded than the discomforts of the
immediate present.
Unemployment, then, because it
means lowered family standards, an
xiety and dread, the loss of savings
and the mortgaging of the future, has
ia direct and disastrous effect upoon
the welfare of children. While COM
munities are usually able to organize
their resources so that children are
not removed from their own homes
because of poverty caused by an in
dustrial crisis, these resources have
not been sufficient to prevent vry raj

The year 1928 marks a new level
of achievement in establishing the
ideals of the labor movement. Let
US in appreciation of what this prog
ress has cost in human suffering and
privation and what it has gained for
human well being, dedicate ourselves
to the realization of greater prog
ress in the coming year.
Let US lift higher the torch of
trade unionism so that more workers
will see its light and follow.
May each trade unionist pledge
himself to personal service during the
coming year. The movement has
need of that service which each mem
Der can give by telling other wage
earners of the value of union mem
bership and by bringing into the
movement at least one new member
during the coming year.
Let US take for our obligation
during the coming year: Double
union membership by September,
1929. This will give us an organi-
zation strong in preventing injustice
and effective in industrial progress.

Of Workers Suffer Most,
Says u. S. Bureau

Washington.-Th United States
Children's Bureau paints a tragic pic
ture of the effects of unemployment
on the home, as result of its study
of Racine, Wis.,, and Springfield, Moss.
More than two-thirds of the fathers
investigated in the two cities have
been out of work for more than a
year.
"The hardships that must be en-
dured by family when the father is
out of work continue when conditions
improve and he again has steady
job" the report states. "The savings
of years have been used to provide
maintenance during months of en-
forced idleness, perhaps the home
whose purchase represented the fulfill
ment of the family's ambitions has
been sacrificed. For months after the
father secures work his wages will
have to be divided between the pur-
chase of the necessaries of life and
the payment of the heavy burden of
debt. Many of the fathers interviewed
had little hope of successfully taking
up again the task of providing home
and comforts for those dependent
upon them.
Besides the deprivation of material
means, and lowered family standards
the anxiety can perhaps only be un-
derstood by those who have them
selves been the victims of the dread
uncertainty and fear that besets q

Labor Day, 1928
BY WILLIAM GREEN
President, American Federation of Labor

Our unions are looking not for domi-

and society but for square deal and
for the right to share with other
groups in the wealth and opportuni-
ties that result from social progress
as well as in the adventures of pro-
duction

The memorial day set aside by ma
tional enactment to honor labor nat
urally becomes the time for taking
account of achievements and planning
for the future.
AS taking account involves making
comparison, ones mind turns back
ward over the early years of the trade
union movement when our trade
unions were virtually outlaw organi-
cations.
Trade unionists who realized that
individual workers had very little
chance of a square deal from en-
ployers unless they could point out
to employers which things were injus-
tices and what better standards
would be, have built up our trade
union movement until now it is re-
spected, national institution.
Only an organization is impersonal
enough to do this for workers. Our
movement first sought to create the
channels for establishing fair work
conditions for wage earners. The de-
votion and personal sacrifice that
have attended the development of
wage earners' organizations have
stamped the movement as an authori-
tative, vital organization.
The great human ideals that sus-
tanned this courage and devotion
found justification in the growth Of
the movement that brought higher
wages, shorter hours, and better
work conditions. Trade unions are
pyaing over 26 millions in union
benefits and have secured wage in
creases of incalculable value.
When primary objectives have been
realized, our unions have been able
to enter developments Of larger use
fulness. They seek to secure for
their membership opportunities to
have more important part in in
dustry and to give workers oppor-
tunity to present their experience and
information for the better decision Of
policies involving them. When the
principle of collective bargaining is
extended to continuous use in work
problems Of all sorts wage earners
find their fullest opportunity for par
ticipation in the benefits of produc-
ton. We find unions moving toward
very real partnership in produc-
ton.
We have made progress in extend
ing the principle of collective bar
gaining in the past year; we have
maintained our high wage level and
we have made progress in establish
ing our new work standard five
day week.
We have our problems-se serious
problems-but they are problems that
have grown out of progress. We find
the principle of organization of en-
ployes finding increasing acceptance.
In time all industries win recognize
the value of the real trade union.
We find American industries boasting
of the high wage principle as a part
of American prosperity. There are
exceptions-such industries as coal
and textiles that have failed to keep
pace with efficient practices.
Though hostile employers have in
most daring way been using the
writ of injunction as weapon against
workers in industrial disputes, in the
past year we have made distinct
progress toward legislative relief for
the abuse of the injunction, and are
urging this as our chief concern in
the present political campaign.
We have made progress in our edu-
cational work so that our membership
can deal with problems with greater
understanding and resourcefulness.

THE BUMPS
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH

I'VE had my bumps
4 The same as you,
The same as other
People dc.
Yet when we do,
And when It's done,
We think that we're
The only one.
But folks before
Have had that bump.
And other cars
Have hit that stump;
Yet, If we lived
Like fellowmen,
No car would hit
That stump again
What you and
And all should do
ID uC't SolupiuiH
And just boo-ho0,
But get right down,
When bumps we yhit,
And smooth the road
A little bit.
Yes, If we didn't
Cry about
The bumps, but stopped
And smoothed them out,
Lies hardest road
Would scon be free
OF bumps for them
And you and me.
