Reject Proposal For Labor
Party

Charleston, S. c. I. L. N. So
Proposals for the formation of labor
party and a nationwide referendum
to ascertain the sentiment of the peo-
pie on the Volstead Act, were voted
down at the annual convention of the
international Typographical Union
here.
The union selected Seattle, Wash.
as the next convention city. In the
race for the 1929 convention Seattle
won over Milwaukee Wis, and Kansas
City, Mo.
A determined effort was made on
the convention floor to have the union
commit itself to support the organi-
Zatlon of an American labor party
whenever majority of the unions
affiliated with the American Fedora
ton of Labor favor such a step. but
the proposal was defeated. Organiza-
ton of the party on the coalition plan
similar to the British labor party was
suggested.
President Charles P. Howard took
he floor in opposition to the measure
He declared that American workers
are now on higher plane than those
of any other country, and that it would
be foolish to adopt in any respect a
political attitude for organized labor

'The worker is entitled to the brief
est possible working time which mod
ern machine methods will enable him
to secure and at the same time satisfy
the needs of society. To be satisfied
with less is TO forego his just due
The report includes statements from
employers sources which prove that
the five-day week is practicable be-
cause of overproduction.
Railroad managers who have ig-
nored the railroad labor act by refus-
ing to treat with unions selected by
their employees were denounced.
The honor, good faith and integrity
that these managers profess is labeled
"Bosh" by the unionists.
"The law does not mean anything
to these men, who are apparently ap-
pointed to the positions they occupy
because of the very fact that they are
unscrupulous. This type of employer,
represented by some railroad officials,
is comparable to the reds and the
Communists the world over"
The report includes the significant
suggestion that when the pendulum
swings the other way "we may pos
sibly be inclined to pay in kind"

Ring Fingers

For many centuries wedding rings
were worn on the thumb, and even as
late as the reign of George 1t was
the rule for brides. although the we'd
ding ring was placed on the finger
now customary, to remove it, after the
ceremony to the thumb. Ecclesiastical
admonitions, however, had the effect
Of bringing that somewhat queer Gus
tom to an end.
II is a pretty belief, but incorrect,
that the fourth finger of the left hand
was chosen for the ring finger because
from that a vein ran directly 10 the
heart The choice was for practical
reasons-to save the ring from un-
necessary usage. That also is the rea
son for the ring being worn on the
left hand.

Harvesting Almonds

But few people realize the trouble
taken in the cultivation of almonds.
They are the most important crop Of
the island of Majorca, where many
varieties are cultivated. and the in
olive trees die they are replaced by
almonds.
When the almonds are almost ripe
they are knocked off the branches by
long bamboo poles and then picked up
by women and children. The nuts are

by hand or machinery and the kernels

FIVE-DAY WEEK

Atlanta -"The time has passed
when those who labor need justify
every crumb of improvement in their
conditions by the plea that without it
they can not exist" declared officers
of the International Association of
Machinists in their report to the eigh-
teenth convention, held in this city.
The report is marked by a confident
spirit and the workers are urged to
insist on a greater share of the pro-
ducts of industry.

/" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things. sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes flippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

At last Jim Duncan has gone "At
last" it is written, because for months
the old battler has lain on a bed of
pain, wracked and worn, battered and
beaten, fighting it out to the last, as
he fought so many battles.
Jim Duncan never gave up. He be-
lieved he would again be able to
plunge into battle. He planned for it.
When he could talk he spoke of it..
He wasn't the kind to give up. A few
of the friends of the pioneer went to
see him. Some of them came away
to wipe furtive tears from their eyes.
The old comrade was such a pitiful
shadow of his former robust self!
There are a great many outstand-
ing figures in the labor movement who
we're in baby clothes when Jim Dun
can began his career as an organizer
and leader of wage earners. There
are many who were not born. And
there are great many who might

man who did good part of his fight

schools were well known to the young
Duncan who was to become one of
the intellectual giants of the American
rade union movement, respected for

Real Womonhood Admir- ed

know a woman who is naturally
thoroughly feminine, and has many of
those gentle qualities which make men
marvel Suffrage has changed her
somewhat: she has heard about her
wrongs until she believes she has
some. In addition, she is spinster,
and somehow holds the men RESPONSE
BILE for that. Still, she has frequent
flashes of beautiful natural woman
hood, and the men love to hang
around and admire her. There is
nothing the men admire so much as
real womanhood; nothing they so
much dislike as the new fiapper type.

Duncan knew his books. He knew
pure literature, his Shakespeare, yes,
of course, his beloved Bobby Burns,
and also his Keats, his Kipling and
his ponderous historians. Duncan
could adorn every speech and every
tale with the wit and wisdom of the
worlds brightest and mightiest.
Many came to know only the rough
bark of the exterior of this towering
figure of man. The fine grain that
was beneath was known to fewer per-
sons; still fewer knew that whimsical
freak of almost womanlike sentiment
that could so easily be touched and
that so often was disguised. The voice
that could roar and threaten across
grow soft with the tenderness of af-
4 lection and the softness of deep com
passion.
There were many sides to Jim Dun
can and that was one of the things
that gave him greatness. And there
ought to be no mistake about the prop
osition that any man who could ride
through the long years of the build
ing of the American trade union move
ment that were spanned by this man.

Duncan stood for definite philoso-
ply of trade unionism, just as Com
pers did 1t may be that Duncan was
even the more inhexible of the two

Duncan not been cast in a character

ing, ne would almost surely have
gained renown as scholar, for he
vas essentially scholar with schol-
ar's mind and scholars thirst for
truth. In his famous lanyard Club
it was the Hncovering of truth that
mattered.
But it was ordained that Duncan
should go into many battles, espous-
ing a cause. There was no fairer
fighter. jim Duncan hated the unfair

and he hated the sordid. He stood up

But Jim Duncan-almost everyone
called him Jim" in conversation if
not to his face--has fought his last
fight. A character of dignity, of poise,
If tremendous emotional capacity, of
zeal and rare integrity, has passed
rom the scene of earthly cares. Deep
sorrows and disappointments entered
into his last years-burdens that
would have crushed lesser man and

1t is but brief span since jim Dun
can stood by. the side of the bed of
his colleague, his pal Sam, in the dim
hours Of an early morning and held
his hand while that hand grew still.
Two giants there were, one slipping
away, the other left to struggle on so
short a time, then to waver and fall
as all must do.
1t is good for America that Duncan
lived as it is good that Gompers lived.
Both knew loyalty to an ideal, an
incorruptible faith and an unshakable
philosophy that made the American
trade union movement what it is. Mil
lions of homes are brighter, millions
enjoy more freedom, millions have
more Of knowledge and more of happi-
ness. American wage earners are bet
ter off in every way. America is bet
ter off.

You lived fine life; you served your
fellow men.
