UNION MEN
Seek Nomination For Big
Chicago Jobs

Chicago. U. L. N S.)-Four well
known Chicago trade unionists are
seeking nomination as candidates on
the republican ticket for trustees of
the sanitary district, which has super
vision over the drainage of all of
Chicago and practically all of Cook
county. The trustees employ a large
number of persons and expend huge
sums of money, the budget for 1928
amounting to $58,O00,O00 The salary
attached to the office is $500 a
year.
There are nine members of the
board, who serve six years each, three
being elected every two years. Ow-
ing to death during the past year,
it will be necessary to elect fourth
member for an unexpired term of
four years.
Edwin R. Wright, who is seeking
nomination for a six-year term, was
for six years president of Chicago
Typographical Union No. 16 and for
seven years president of the Illinois
State Federation of Labor. He was
secretary of the committee appointed
by the governor which drafted the
original workmen's compensation law
of Illinois, and was chairman of a
similar committee which drafted the

health, safety and comfort act of this
state. He was personnel officer for
the United States shipping board dur
ing the World War.
Alderman Oscar f. Nelson, for
many years vice president of the Chi
cago Federation of Labor and Mayor
Thompson's floor leader in the city
council, is another candidate. Alder
man Nelson is member of Post
Office Clerks Local No. l of Chicago.
He is former chief factory inspector
of Illinois and former factory in
spector of Illinois, and former COM
missioner of Cancellation of the
United States department of labor.
Edward F. Moore, union station
ary engineer, also is candidate. He
is assistant building commissioner of
the city of Chicago at present. He is
seeking nomination to the unexpired
four-year term.
Another candidate for the four-year
term is A. S. Fuller, union carpen-
ter.

died like sieve, should not be dis
turbed. The other is that the Ship
stead bill would destroy the protection
which is now enjoyed and should be
enjoyed by certain kinds of intangible
property which labor has no desire to
remove, but which, opponents say,
would be removed by this bill.
Opposition Case Weak
The weakness in the whole opposi-
ton case is that while it's moderates
have professed desire to see correc-
tion of the injunction evil in labor
disputes and have opposed the Ship
stead bill ostensibly on the ground
that it goes beyond what is needed,
they have not come forward to offer
any proposal for doing what is re-
quired without overstepping. Thus
the entire opposition one way or
another aligns itself with the anti
labor opposition and brings the whole
group of opponents under the banner
of the National Association of Manu-
facturers, which has in fact dominat-
ed the whole anti-Shipstead bill con-
tingent in the hearings.

Injunction Again Assailed
AS Thief Of Labor's Rights
Before Committee of House

By International Labor News Service.
Washington, d. c. Battling
against sitter opposition, but with
equal determination and with an equal
volume of testimony, the American
Federation of Labor is now in the
midst of its hearings before the house
committee on judiciary on the Ship
stead anti-injunction bill, having clos
ed its main case before the senate
committee.
First witnesses before the house
committee in the revived hearing
were Andrew Furuseth, veteran pres
ident Of the International Seamen's
Union, and John P Frey, secretary
of the A. F. of L. metal trades de-
partment.
Tell Injunction Evils
Both of these witnesses told sub
stantially the same story in address
ing the house committee that they
laid before the senate committee-a
veritable mountain of specific, detail
ed material showing how the injunc-
tion became imbedded in American
judicial practice and the manner in
which injunctions have robbed the
workers of their legal and constitu-
tional rights.
President Green testified before the
house committee at an earlier hear
ing on the one day given to the sub
ject before the beginning of the pres
ent series of hearings.
That the senate committee is IA
vorably disposed toward danti-injunction
legislation is believed certain. This
definitely applies to the members of
the subcommittee who have heard
labor's testimony.
Hostile Members Feared
What is feared, however, is that
hostile members of the house commit
tee may be able to so block matters
as to prevent vote, or to so en-
tangle matters in some other direc-
tion as to prevent action by both
houses in this session.
At this time, out of all the days of
testimony, for and against, the fact
towers above everything else that la
Dor has made against the injunction
as misused in labor disputes such q
| case as has seldom been presented
before congressional committee or
any contested issue.
The opposition has challenged the
Shipstead bill on two grounds. One
ground is that of the most notable
conservatives who contend that the
labor injunction, which labor has rid

TRADE AT RETAIL
For 1927 Above Figures For
1926

Washington, D. C.-The volume of
retail trade in 1927 was slightly
greater than in 1926 throughout the
United States, it is indicated by re-
ports received by the federal reserve
board.
Department stores during Decem-
Der, 1927, enjoyed sales volume ap-
proximately 1 per cent greater than
in the holiday period of the preceding
year, according to preliminary reports
received by the board.
On that basis, the retail sales vol
ume of the full twelve months of 1927
exceeded that of 1926 by one-half of
per cent. This proportion is, how
ever, subject to correction later. But
it is emphasized that even though
final reports may change the 1927
total somewhat, the retail demand for
the two years differed only slightly.
1t is clear that in 1927 the great mass
of residents of the United States had
surprisingly large amount of
money to spend in the stores.

Dictatorship Persists In
Cuba Under Machod0
FIVE-DAY WORK WEEK
URGED IN BUILDING

Chicago.-Agitation for the five.
day work week continues among
building craftsmen, although the lar
ger portion of contracts between
these unions and employers do not
expire until next year. The painters
favored the short work week by vote
of 1000 to 1000, and the Painters
District Council asks the Chicago
Building Trades Council to consider
this change in the next agreement.
Contractors take their usual posi-
rtion that five-day week will wreck
the building industry and that people
will be compelled to live in shacks
and Mexican adobes. They made the
same prediction when the 1O-hour day
was abolished, and when the 44-hour
week was forced upon them.

Walling Declares Rule
Is AS Arrogant Today
AS in Days Of Terror
Constitutional Convention About to Meet to Extend Terms
of President and Others Two Years Without Election
Murders Stopped With Expose of Year Ago
BY international Labor News Service

BY International Labor News Service
Washington, d. C.-Reviewing the
recent Pan-American Congress and
the political and economic situation in
Cuba at a luncheon given in his honor
here by International Labor News
Service, William English Walling,
noted journalist and l. L. N. S. staff
writer, made the blunt charge that
essentially freedom is as much re-
stricted in Cuba today as it was a
year ago.
Mr.. Walling, who has reported the
American Congress for l. L. N.
S., and who is to continue his report
ing to cover Cuban conditions, called
attention to the investigation made a
year ago by Chester M. Wright, edi-
tor of l. L. N S., and his subsequent
articles dealing with the reign Of ter
ror in Cuba, including assassinations
and deportations of labor leaders and
political opponents of the regime OF
President Machado. He said the ar.
ticles then written had changed the
course of events in Cuba.
Discussion of Cuba Timely

WaIlinp "becanse at this hour elec
tions are being held for delegates te

Washington, d. C. U. l.. N. 81
The Cigar Makers international
Union, l. M Ornburn, president, has
begun a vigorous campaign against
a bill introduced in congress which
if passed, threatens to do irreparable
injury to the cigar business of the
United States. The bill, known as
House Resolution 9195, would amend
the statutes to permit the importa-
tion from Cuba of cigars, cheroots
and cigarettes in quantities of less
than 5000 in a single shipment OF
consignment.
The bill is backed by the great
mail order interests and if approved
by congress, will open the way for
mail order business to develop a big
business in the sale by parcel post
of small packages of cigars. This
would be menacing competition to
the cigar business in every part OF

present law, no cigars may be mailed
from Cuba by parcel post in lots OF
less than 5000 and the package con-
tanning this amount must clear
through the custom house.

Sections 28O4 and 34e2 of the Revised
Statutes, has been favorably reported
