BE SURE TO VOTE

Next Tuesday, November 8, is
election day. Every man and woman
eligible to vote should consider it a
civic duty to go to the polls and vote.
Members to serve in the new city
council, seven of them, during the
coming two years are to be selected.
1t is important that the very best
men be elected to serve in council.
Don't just let sentiment control your
vote, but vote for those whom you
are sure will best serve you and the
city in council. There are also two
members of the Board of Education
to elect who will serve for four years
Pick out those whom you believe are
most capable for this important
office. 1t might be added that there
are number of good and tried trade
union members on the ticket who will
make good officials if elected. Why
not elect them and give the move
ment direct representation in the city
administration bodies.
In addition to the above there will
also be a ballot on which two propo.
sitions of Importance come before the
voters. One is an amendment of the
state constitution permitting a levy
of $7,500,000 for state welfare work
constructing new and enlarging oil
prisons, asylums, institutions, etc
The other is the special tax levy t,
raise approximately $175,000 to Civ
work to the city's unemployed and fo
relief of the poor. Study these tw
proposals carefully and vote on them
Whatever you do, be sure to vot
next Tuesday.

favor of the referendum. Ohio, for
instances voted yes 40 to z. Michigan
80 to 6. Maine 13 to l. Virginia,
home of Bishop Cannon, voted yes
8 to 8. North Carolina voted yes 10
to 6. Alabama was solidly in favor
of the referendum, and so was Geor-
gia. Iowa was evenly divided, while
California and Minnesota voted unan-
imously yes.
In all, thirty-four state delegations
were unanimously in favor Of the
referendum or had majority in fa-
vor of it. Only nine states were
solidly against the referendum, and
four others had majority against it.
A national popular vote on the
question might have somewhat diff
ferent outcome. Nevertheless, the
Legionnaires offer an excellent cross
section of public opinion. They include
rich and poor, workers and employ
ers, republicans, democrats and so
cialists, and men of every faith and
no faith at all. Extraneous issues die
not interfere with their verdict il
Detroit, which apparently indicates
two things:
l. The majority of the people be-
lieve that prohibition is failure ant
that we should have modification OF
repeal;
2. Sentiment against prohibition i!
growing in all sections.
Some drys are contending the De
troit vote was victory for them
They seem relieved that the Legion
| did not go farther than it did, ant
come out for repeal rather than ;
popular vote on repeal or modifica
ton.
But there is no mistaking the Ian
guage of the preamble to the Legiol
resolution: "The 18th amendment O
the constitution of the United State
has created a condition endangerini
respect for the law and the securit.
of American institutions"
The Legion voted 1908 to 394 il
favor of that declaration.--Cincinn

WAGES AND PROSPERITY

Persistent advocates of wage reduc-
tions continue to argue that the only
way out of this business depression
is to curtail all efforts to a lower
level, and when the lowest depth for
all is reached business will be sure
to rise. Opposed to this point of
view is the theory that by stimulat-
ing the forces that strengthen busi-
ness, we shall be on our way to busi-
ness revival more quickly and more
readily.
Labor points to the fact that wage
cuts do not reduce selling prices in
full proportion. Wages constitute
only one factor in costs. In addition,
manufacturers are reluctant to pass

FIXING WORK DAY LENGTH
BY LAW

The American Federation of Labor
reaffrmed during the last session Of
congress it's traditional opposition to
fixing hours of labor by law, accord
ing to the report of the A. F. of l..
executive council to the 1881 conven-
ton of the federation.
"A proposed amendent," the report
stated, "to the constitution of the
United States to permit congress to
reduce the daily period of time for
which contracts of employment may
be lawfully made was submitted in
the house. The amendment proposes:
Article XX-To promote the gen.
eral welfare, the congress shall have
power to reduce the number of hours
of service per day for which contracts
of employment may be lawfully made
Congress has no power at this
time to fix the hours of labor, wages
or prices in private employment. The
proposed amendment would permit
congress to reduce but not increase
the hours in days work.
"The executive council believes tha
this is a dangerous proposal. Th'
American Federation of Labor alway.
opposed the fixing of hours or wage.
by law. In this case only the fixing
of hours is intended and then it il
left to the employees and the employ
ers, the same as now, to argue owe
wages" 1t should be opposed"

Gov. Pinchot has announced The

although it has recently been urged
that other subjects be considered.
Gov. Pinchot indicated that he
planned to lay before the session his
plan for selling $2O,OOO,OO0 in "pros-

fund will be made public at later
date, he said.

N. Y. Factory Employment
Helped by Seasonal Gains

Albany, n Y. (ILNS) Seasonal
activity in New York state factories
raised employment almost three per
cent and payrolls nearly two per cent
from August to September, Industrial
Commissioner Frances Perkins re-
ports. This was the first improve
ment since the spring seasonal ad-
vances. Due to these changes, the
index of factory employment, based
upon the average of 1925-1927 as 100,
moved up to 1874 and the index of pay
rolls to 66.2. Average weekly earn
ings declined from $26.33 to $26.06
These statements are based upon in
formation furnished by fixed list OF
firms reporting each month to the di-
vision of statistics and information
of the New York state department Of
labor.

1t is generally pointed out that one

is the growing acceptance Of the FIVE

New England Industries
Show Increased Activity

Boston, Mass. (ILNS)-A report to
the New England Council says that
business in many of New England's
smaller mills and industrial plants
has turned the corner toward better
times.
The council said that compilation
of business trends from reports of
Chambers of Commerce and Boards
of Trade in the six New England
states was "the most encouraging in
recent months"
Industries covered in the report in
cluded textiles, shoes, rubber, metal
manufacturing and motor making.

This is boon that will not easily
be taken away from the workers, and
will mark at least one benefit derived
partly from the depression.

The growth of anti-prohibition

voted solidly for the referendum.
