reasons the American team is hope
full Of ~recapturing at least its share
OF these championships:
The l00-meter king, Abrahams OF
England, is not defending his title,
rnd Frank Wykoff, the young Cali
fornian. who is the ace Of the y. S.
sprinting pack, equaled the Olympic
record four times in four races in
one afternoon in the final %tryouts.
The 400-meter champion. Eric Lid
dell Of England. will not compete in
this years games, and the United
States has two great young stars in
Ray Barbuti. former Syracuse foot
ball player. and Emil Snider. the
ALBANIAN.

LLOYD Hahn is 70 try for a "dou-
Bile" He has beaten world record
time in the former event, which is
better than Douglas Lowe Of Eng
land. the defending champion. has
done.
In the 5.000-meter run as well as
the 1900 the shadow Of Paavo Nurmi
makes the American chances not so
rood. although the youthful Leo
Lermond will make any Of them
step.
Joie Raw and his almost miracu-
lous showinFs in the l~0,000-meter
run and marathon give ground for
hope that he can beat out the Finn7

although they will have the two

Constipation is responsible for more
misery than any other cause"
But immediate relief has been
found. A tablet called Rexall CIDER
lies has been discovered. This tablet

the lazy, dry, evacuating bowel called

Labor Will Help in Fight
On Hazards that Take Big
Toll in Workers Eyesieht

New Orleans, La. CT. L. N. 81
A nationwide educational campaign
for the prevention of blindness and
the conservation of vision among the
industrial workers of America and
among their families will be launched
Immediately as joint effort of the
American Federation of Labor and
the National Society for the Preven-
ton of Blindness, it was announced
here by President Wilma Green, fol-
lowing meetings of the executive
council held after adjournment of the
A. F. of l.. convention.
The Society for the Prevention of
Blindness has for some 20 years led
the fight for conservation of vision;
the Federation of Labor is now join
ing hands with this society for an in
tensive campaign within the member
ship of the federation because of re-
quests for assistance in health educa-
ton which have come to the Wash
ington headquarters of the A. F. of
L. from various state and local labor
bodies and because of the growing
seriousness of the eye hazards of in
dustrial occupations.
Eye Hazards AvOidable
In announcing the campaign, Presi-
dent Green, of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, said: "The campaign is
being undertaken because Of our con-
viction that the eye hazards of indus
trial occupations-that is, accidents,
diseases affecting the eye, and eye
strain-now constitute probably the
most serious cause of blindness and
impairment of vision among work
men in America. 1t is the belief of
the officers of both organizations that
very large percentage of industrial
blindness is preventable and that

on the street and in other places out

side of industry, which at present
threaten the sight Of the wives and
children of our workmen, also are
avoidable"
The announcement of the campaign
by the A. f. of l.. and the Society for
the Prevention of Blindness says:
"The seriousness of the situation
which this campaign seeks to correct
may be appreciated when one thinks
of the following facts:
"The industries of this country are
at present paying approximately $10,-
100000 year compensation to work
men who have been totally or per-
manently blinded while at work; this
expense is inevitably reflected in the
cost of commodities and thereby in
the cost of living;
"The direct loss to the working
men and women of America through
lowered efficiency or earning capacity
following blindness or serious inn
pairment of vision is probably much
more than $lO,OO00O0 a year;
There is further loss, intangible,
but probably even more serious than
the foregoing, in the tragedy which
enters every home in which a person
has been blinded or has lost part of
his sight permanently tragedy
which often spells disaster
"Close students of industrial condi-
tions are now convinced that 98 per
cent of all industrial accidents are
preventable; if this applies also to the
eye hazards of industry, this joint eff
fort of the A. #. of l.. and the Society
for the Prevention of Blindness and
the society's program within the in
dustries themselves and among en-
ployer groups should result in the
saving of many mems and women's
eyes"

markable fact that now every ma
tional political party in America has.
in one form or another declared that
the equity power of the courts are
being improperly used and that legis-
lation on the subject is essential.
Under such circumstances, it behooves
us to apply our most careful atten-
tion to the problem in order that our
Legislative proposals on the subject
be thoroughly sound and adequate.
Practically all liberties of the citizens
of the United States are involved, for
the injunction system has challenged
even the constitution itself
Text of Action at Los Angeles
The injunction question, which has
been acted upon by the conventions
of the American Federation of Labor
at practically every eonventino in re-
cent years, came before the Los An
geles convention year ago through
the report of the executive council
on the subject of Legal Status" and
through Resolution No. 33 of that
convention. We quote the following
from the report of the committee as
adopted at the Los Angeles conven-
ton:
''The title Legal Status in the re-
port of the executive council serves
to introduce matters of paramount
Importance. The existing federal anti
trust and anti-combination laws (ex-
cept certain sections of the Cyalton
act which are not as effective as
many had hoped) make little or no
distinction between labor and hte
products Of labor, and are directed
against so-called combinations and
so-called restraints of trade in such
language that every sort of agree
ment or combination between two or
more persons relating to production,
transportation, sales, distribution on
storage may be declared unlawful.
1.-THE enforcement of these laws in
their apparent literal meaning, has
been directed exclusively against
trade unions, Notwithstanding the
| fact that the statutes were not in
! tended to be so applied In cases
| affecting business combinations, such
as the steel corporation, the railroads
and others, the courts have felt JUS
titled in softening by Interpretation
and in some cases even entirely lg-
noring the so-called antitrust laws,
regardless of the we'll known and ad-
mitted fact that congress intended the
statute to apply to such combinations.
| In relation to business corporations
and organizations the United States
may boast of more drastic anti-combi-
nation laws and more actual combi-
nation than any other country.
| Antitrust Acts Must Be Repealed
"The situation demands exactly the
sort of action recommended in the re-
port Of the executive council, name
ly, the amending or repeal of the
Sherman, Clayton, or any other of the
| so-called antitrust acts in such man
ner that inhibitions against monopo-
lies in the products of labor may be
enacted in place of the present laws
which are being used to prevent work
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1928-12-14

to labor organizations either in the
form of legislative enaetments or
judicial Interpretation. In all legis-
lative proposals care should be taken
to safeguard the interest of the farm
ers and the legitimate cooperative
societies.
"The necessity for clearly defining
the jurisdiction of the equity courts,
as recommended by the executive
council, transcends even the need for
a change in the so-called antitrust
laws. The misuse of injunctions in
labor disputes has become so noto-
rious that unless a remedy is found
the entire equity system will ulti-
mately break under the increasing
burden of disrepute which is attach
ing itself to it because of the misuse
of injunctions against labor The
