NOTABLE, BUT NOT FINAL,
VICTORY

1t is important and tremendously
good news that there will be more
friends of labor in the coming con-
gress.
But right now is a good time to
cool off and form a balanced estimate
as to what the election means.
Among things it does not mean is
this: The new congress will not cure
unemployment. Perhaps lot of hope
went into the casting of votes, but
realization is always several jumps
behind hope.
The big thing is that there are
more friends of human liberty and of
the rights of man in the new congress
than are in the old one.
That is of enormous importance.
1t may have it's effect internationally
as we'll as within our borders.
But trade unionists need to keep
this safely under their hats: No
political result can achieve for them
those fundamental measures Of prog
ress that must, by their very nature,
be taken within industry through
economic organization. And if it
were possible it would be highly unde-
sirable.
The election has not lifted any of
the load from the trade union organ
izations of the United States. Nor
should it. To organize wage earners
is the big, continuous job, if indus
trial justice is to come.
We rejoice in notable victory
but we don't quit working at the real
job!

LABOR PAID 35 CENTS
FOR MICHIGAN WORK

Detroit, Mich.-A wage rate of 35
cents an hour for common labor en-
ployed on state construction work has
aroused a storm of opposition by
Michigan trade unionists.
The order was issued by the Mich
igan administration board. Gov
ernor Green, in defending the order
said that contractors were taking ad-
vantage of the unemployment situa-
ton by paying as low as Is and 20
cents an hour for common labor"
The Detroit Labor News says:
''Think what 35- cent per hour rate
means to a man who has family to
support. He will, if present plans are
carried out, work but three days a
week in order that the work may be
more evenly divided"

THE LAME DUCKS"

In the congress that convenes this
December there will be many varie-
ties of that curious species known as
the "lame duck" A lame duck is a
representative or senator who has
met defeat in the November elections
but who, according to constitutional
provision, continues in office until the
following March A. His position is not
pleasant to contemplate. He must
look after the interest of "the peo-
pie who sent me here" just as though
those people had not already recalled
him. His every speech is swan
song. His votes must be cast with
an eye to the welfare of constituency
that has repudiated him. He is, in
short, an anomalous and obsolete
factor in representative government,
The question arises: Why isn't
something done about it?' Something
has been done, but not enough. Sen
ator George Norris, of Nebraska, has
successfully introduced five senate
resolutions providing for constitu-
tional amendment that will, if adopt
ed, cause the newly-elected congress
to convene in the January following
the November elections. 1t would also
advance Inauguration day from March
to January. All five resolutions pass
ed the senate, the first in February,
1923, and the last in June, 1929, and
all went to the house for further
action. But here the hitch. The house
has never acted, despite the fact that
some of its members have introduced
similar resolutions.
The Norris amendement now Ian
guishes in the house committee on
election of president, vice president
and members of congress. And the

The underlying cause of this strike

If the workers lose, an alleged Gin

upon them. Their success, however,
will affect the entire South.
There is more involved in this strike
than wages and working conditions.

paternalism that reaches into their
individual lives.

as is now on in Danville, are not

Petroleum and its products, which
already have some thousands of uses,
are regarded by the United States Bu-

host of new commodities.
Research work now under way is
seeking means of producing from pc

stitutes for butter, lard, leather, rub
Der, perfumes, explosives, antiseptics,
sugar and other products. Artificial
rubber tires, druggists supplies,
waterproof clothing, electrical insula-

and linseed oil and number of al
cohols also are seen as possibilities.

tion, was expected to get under
full sway In the Senate today
with the avoWed purpose Of fore.
ing his early retirement as ad.

The Huston assault will be based
on his own testimony before the

Carbide Company, through the
medium Of the Tennessee River
improvement Association, to be
used in getting q bill through
Congress leasing Muscle Shoals
to that concern and the Ameri'

also told how he placed this
money with q New York stock
broker and used it to play mar
gins in stock speculation, turn
ing over a small profit.
