Gold Moves Here From
England, Allowing Big
Extension of Credit

The heaviest gold imports from
London to New York is taking place,
with an estimated sum of $40,876,-
900 arriving since the middle of
September. 1t is expected that this
will ALLOW for easier money rates in
New York, and the movement may
continue until s100,000,000 has ar
rived.
Ordinarily $4O,00o,000 more gold
will allow for 100000, 900 more
credit, and whatever use the gold is
put to by members of the federal re-
serve, credit tends to expand in that
proportion. Even if the federal re-
serve should advance money rates,
it is not expected to check the pres
ent wild stock market which has
gone on in the face of high money
rates and rapidly mounting brokers
loans.
Pressure against sterling con-
tinues with sterling going at it's low
point for the year, $4.S4 u, and more
large buying of gold in London is
forecast. The Bank of England
could stop it by advancing money
rates in London, but that would hurt
British business.

workers now have no strong organ
ization to support their demands or
to protect them from the brutal con-
ditions Michelin imposes on them.
AS a result the pitiful wages in
the Michelin plant will be cut from
three and one-half cents to five and
one-half cents per hour.
The Michelin bosses have utilized
their opportunity to abolish the
three shift system and will change
to one shift. Michelin has used
this change for pretext to dis
charge many workers known to
have been active in the strike. The
head of the first strike committee
formed when the walkout was de-
cided on was among the first to be
fired.
The bosses and their agent Hill
fers have no intention of letting the
workers slip from their grasp again.
Together they are backing the pro-
posal for school where the for

pose of the school, however, is to
spread propaganda for the Michelin

BOOST THE LABEL

The label trades department of the
American Federation of Labor has
designated the period from August
27 to September s, as label boosting
period. There have been so many
weeks, periods, etc., designated lately
for almost everything under the sun,
until their various designations have
become so commonplace as to COM
mand but very scant attention.
However, the period for boosting
the label should be made the excep-
tion to this rule. There are few chan
nels through which the work of the
labor movement can be advanced with
so little effort. Every central labor
council and local union should take
he matter up at their next meeting
and definitely arrange to become part

under way during the period desig
mated.

WHAT WILL THEY SAY? q

What will the two leading candi-
dates for the presidency say about
workmen's legislation, child labor
laws and other labor legislation when
they appeal to the Southern industrial
states?
Particularly is this an interesting
question in connection with North
Carolina, a fast growing industrial
state. North Carolina has no COM
pensation law. Other labor laws are
inadequate or non-existent. The
states big industrial interests, power
full in business and in politics, don't
favor advanced labor legislation.
Also, North Carolina, heretofore
democratic, is thought by many poll
ticians to be doubtful this year. 1t
might prove to be the deciding state
in the election. Both parties are
anxious to win it.

into the discord so ardently sought
by laundering, blinded combination
If predatory business and often ser
vile diplomacy.
The flight of Lindbergh was
prompted and promoted by official
dom, but it leaped beyond the con-
fines of its original plan and blazed
way into the public heart. Out of
that grew the Carranza epic. Human
ity and humanity's essential sound
ness and heroic capabilities bestride
the boundary and take no account of
race or creed. There is, it turns out
to the surprise of many, great COM
monality in the human race.
None pay more sincere tribute to
the intrepid youth who gave his life
for his people and his peoples vel
fare than the workers of America, and
none will understand more fully the
submit ow his great adventure. His
death is crowned with glorious
achievement. An army man, and so
warrior, he died sin action for the
promotion of peace adm good will.

THINK YOU'RE A KING?

Each American is taught to think
he is a sovereign, and to some extent
he is. He can sometimes quit his
job if he wants to and get another
if he can.
But in the larger phases of ma
tional life he frequently cuts as much
figure as lost hairpin.
Consider foreign policy. Secretary
Kellogg has been cutting lot of
capers with a mess of treaties which
were heralded as outlawing war. 1t
turns out that they "sanctify the
status quo," which means they put a
clincher on protecting relations-and
rights to go to war-as they are.
Meanwhile American money kings,
through little-understood foreign in
7estments, are doing more to influence
and shape American foreign policy
and possible future foreign troubles
han our whole state department and
It's whole corps of diplomats.
Maybe you have that idea that
every American is a sovereign.

AMERICAN LABOR'S JOB

Every day in New Bedford, Mass,
thousands of little children line up at
the soup kitchens of the New Bed
ford Textile Council; every day hun
dreds of weary pickets tramp before
the mill gates, and the hearts of
thousands of mothers are torn with
the anxietp for the welfare of their
children. Such is the situation in
New Bedford. Thirty thousand mill
workers are fighting with their backs
to the wall against the cruelty of a
small but powerful clique of capital.
These workers know their strike
must be won or the manufacturers
will rob them of their standard of
living and of all self-respect. Their
battle is not only against an imme-
diate temporary 10 per cent reduc-
ton, but against a threatened series
of such cuts.
The strikers of New Bedford have
proved their mettle in these weary
weeks of struggle American labor
has never given a finer evidence of
solidarity. They do not fear the mill
barons, although they understand the
meaning of their brutal silence. 1t
is clear to them that their employers
have adopted the old policy of wait
ing-waiting for hunger and hardship
to break their spirit. Nothing but
hunger can defeat the New Bedford
strikers. 1t is the job of the whole
body of American labor to supply the
ammunition necessary to carry this
fight to glorious victory.
Think of the 10000 strikers and
their dependents whose hopes lie in
the outcome of this struggle and send
your contributions to the New Bed
ford Textile Council Strike Relief,

is TWO-PARTY PLAN DOOMED?

Says a Des Moines, Iowa, despatch:
"The 1928 presidential campaign
will mark the collapse of Americas
two-party system, is the view of
nearly 100 political scientists at the
annual commonwealth conference at
the University of Iowa.
"The scientists represented half a
hundred universities and colleges.
They are, for the most part, unat-
tached to political parties, and they
attempted to look at present-day po-
litical problems from the standpoint
of historical perspective.
Issues do not separate the two
parties vertically" said Professor
William B. Muro, of Harvard Uni
versity. "They break up each party
horizontally in blocs, based on eco
nomic interest ana social advantage
and disadvantage, he said.
"These blocs, the economists ex-
pect, will replace the two major par
ties, which, they say, serve no other
purpose than to provide the machin-
cry for the election of a president
every four years.
twenty-five issues appeared on the
program of the commonwealth con-
ference. In only two of these issues
did the professors find discernable
difference in the attitude of demo
Gratis and depublicans. The two
issues on which there was disagree
ment was the use of injunctions in
labor disputes and Washington's
activity in Nicaragua"

DON'T OVERLOOK CONGRESS

At this falls election the people
will vote for a complete membership
Of the house of representatives and
for one-third of the members of the
senate.
The congress so elected will not
take office until the first Monday in
December, 1929. The present con-
gress will convene for its final session
next December, and will adjourn sine
die just before the presidential in
auguration.
Injunction relief and other progress
sive legislation may be passed on to
the new congress, as the "short ses-
sion" of this congress, which con-
venes next December, will consider
appropriation bills. The "short ses-
sion" will include the "lame ducks"
who have been repudiated by their
constituents and who seek federal ap-
pointments or connections with big
business as lobbyists and lawyers.
Organized labor should awake to
the Importance of the next congress,
whose members are now up for re-
election

president is important and full dis
cussion of this subject should be en-
couraged, workers must not forget /

STRAUSS WINDOW
DISPLAY

During an extensive buying trip
to the furniture markets of Grand
Rapids and Chicago, and from which
he has just returned, Harry Strauss,
of the Harry Strauss Furniture Co.,
made a purchase of bedroom furni-
ture of unusual beauty and makeup
which now appears in one of the
stores windows at Third and Lud-
low streets, and is attracting much
interest and causing complimentary
comment from passersby.
The suite is constructed almost
entirely of imported Russian woods
and overlays, and is most distinctive
with regard to design. The bed is
covered with an imported spread in
olive green, giving the display beau
tiful effect and well worth going to
see.

If LABOR HADN'T STOOD FAST

If back in 1920 and thereabouts,
American labor had permitted the
wage reductions sought by great en-
ployers; if wages had gone down and
American labor consuming power had
sunk as employers wanted it to, where
would American prosperity have
gone? Conversely, if wages can
keep pace with production, which they
do not, why can not a good measure
of prosperity continue with US ?
Starving the great mass of Amer
lean buyers-the millions of wage
earners-cut the throat of the Amer
ican market upon which American
prosperity depends.

FOR PEACE AND GOOD WILL

When Capt. Emilio Carranza.
youthful Mexican flying ace, crashed
to his death in New Jersey at the
outset of a projected nonstop finale
to his fight of friendship, he did
more to promote the blessings of in
ternational amity than diplomacy
could ever do, and he probably did
more, sad though it may be to say,
by his heroic death than he could have
done by the success of his flight.
The gesture of friendship was so
irresistbily dramatized by the crash
of this splendid youth that all Amer
lea has rung with tribute, and has
bowed down in sad admiration.
Mexico's organized wage earners
join their countrymen in mourning
for national hero. Americas wage
earners mourn with them.
1t is strange how men on both
sides Of the international boundary
have famed out from the common
mass to fructify and enlarge and en-
blazon the great work of international
understanding that had its birth in
the labor movement and that, but for
the persistence of the labor move
ment, would long since have crashed

New York Welfare Council
Suggests Measures

New York City. q. L. N. 81
Measures by which the city might
mitigate the effects of periods of
employment are recommended in re-
port submitted to Mayor Walker by
the committee of employment of the
Welfare Council, of which Bailey B.
Burritt is chairman.
Suggestions contained in the re-
port include adaptation of public work
employment to the unemployment sit
uation; increase in facilities Of free
employment agencies maintained by
the state department of labor; pre-
vention of exploitation of workers by
commercial employment agencies; CO.
ordination of the provisions for hous
ing homeless men, and the agencies
making such provisions; cooperation
with industries which are trying OF
regularize volume of employment, and
regularization of dock employment.
Industry and the city government
have a joint responsibility to make
the flow of employment as regular
as possible" the report declared.
when irregularity brings unemploy-
ment in its train and industry has
done all that it can to take care Of its
workers, then the ultimate response
