cellent progress both financially and

ist":
''It is recommended that every

ZdtlOliS, VINO mas not dlFGdug SuD-

American Federationist, and urge
their membership to subscribe and
read this magazine. 1t is especially

Minneapolis Labor Review says this

were informed that cat had caught

UNIONISTS ALWAYS LEAD

Union members are always leaders
because they are more than 13 years
old mentally. So they lead the 49,
year-olds. The people who start ideas
very often do not get the credit, be-
cause some of the 13-year-olds finally
see that it is good idea, and they
come forward, claim it as their own,
and when it is accomplished, say that
they did it. But it is the union that
thinks of it first.
The union made the first step for
increased salaries for teachers, made
it in spite of the opposition of the
conservative organizations of teach
ers. The union has worked not only
for better salaries and for better
pensions, but they have worked for
what is even more important, for the
rights of teachers.
1t is courage that the union means
to us more than anything else. 1t
has been the courage to go ahead,
not the courage of the wild animal,
but the pure white courage that
burns with a clear light of self
sacrifce.-Ex.

USE OF MACHINERY
FORCING 5-DAY WEEK

Toronto, Can.-"Increasing use of
machinery is forcing the fve-day

tary A. F. of L., who visited this city
to arrange details for the next con-
vention of that organization.
"An incident which indicates pres
ent conditions was the fact that
thousands of men stayed up all night
looking for jobs when Henry Ford
advertised for $4,000 employees" said
Mr.. Morrison. "No country can pros
per while hundreds of thousands Of
workers are unemployed. There are
employers who realize this. For in

FAVOR SLOW DOWN" POLICY

II "A Otb OLo w LIZ w " oLhS
The department of agriculture has
released this significant statement to
American farmers:
I'm view of the probability of
another large crop of hard winter
wheat in 1929, spring wheat farmers
should hesitate to increase their pres.
ent acreage of hard winter wheat"
No one objects to Uncle Sam warn
ing farmers not to glut the market
and destroy prices, but why can't
the same reasoning apply to workers
who would reduce hours?
No responsible business man will
deny that markets would be quickly
flooded if our Industrial machine were

JUSTICE IS.EXPENSIVE

Albany, N. Y.-"Justice is our
most expensive commodity" said
Franklin D. Roosevelt in his inaugural
address as successor to Governor
Smith.
"The questionable taking of juris-
diction by federal courts, the gradual
erection of body Of court made law,
the astuteness of our legal brethren,
the possible temporary captulation
of our public servants and even of a
dormant public opinion itself, may, in
the future, as in the past, nullify the
rights of the public" said the new
state executive.

Workers can change this double
standard if they organize and thus
secure economic power that invaria-
bly, commands respect.

The average office boy knows
that he will be working next

more than can be said for the
average actor. At least, we
gather that from statement
given out by Alden Chase. who

cast OF "one Mile Up" at Polls

An ambitious press agent on
the scent for news, asked Chase
what his ambitions were-and
mis- reply was, ITO see and have
one entire season again"
With the number of theaters
dark along the Great White Way
in New York, it is no wonder
that Chase, star though he is,
feels that one season of sure
work in the hand is worth four

Alden Chase will be remem-
bered by many theater-goers for
his appearance in the cast of

an advantage, financial and otherwise, the

personal command of General Plu-

near Escalop today, ready to begin
their march on Jimenez and Chi

crossing the Bolson de Mapimi des-

He said that Escalon has been

Gales predicted that if the rebels
