R0SENWALD
Philanthropist, Active Foe
of Oraginzed Workers

Chicago (ILNS)-Daily newspapers
devoted many columns of space in
praise of the philanthropies of julius
Rosenwald when he died here recent
ly. Working people will best remem-
ber Mr.. Rosenwald as a relentless
opponent of the high wage theory
and an active foe of organized labor
One of the high lights in his career
was as witness before a committee
of the Illinois state senate which in
vestigated the underlying causes of
prostitution in Chicago and other ILL
nois cities in 1915. 1t was charged
and substantially proved that the low
wages paid to girls employed in de-
partment stores and mail order
houses tended to force them to pros
titution to maintain life Mr.. Rosen-
wald, as the head of Sears, Roebuck
d Co., was reluctant witness before
the committee, called to answer tes-
timony of some of his female en-
ployes.
At later date Mr.. Rosenwald was
one of the most active members and
a heavy financial backer of the no.
torious Landis award committee,
which spent five years and several
million dollars in a vain effort to
wreck the building trades unions Of
Chicago.
Three years ago Mr.. Rosenwald, as
chairman of the board Of Sears, Roe
buck & Co., caused a $4,000, ,00C
printing contract Of his gigantic cor
poration to be awarded to the no

Honker the Goose, who had just come
down from the Great Woods of the
North to the pond Of Paddy the
Beaver in the Green Forest.
Honker nodded. II see your ears

from Indictment the persons with
whom he was alleged to have con-
spired, proves, it seems apparent,

vania to the capitalist class" the res
olution concludes.
"Frame-Up" is Charged
A similar resolution was adopted
by Branch No. 16, of which Hoffman,
is member, and an appeal sent to
Gov. Pinchot urging him to pardon
him Immediately
Declaring the case against Hoff-
mann to be "dastardly frame-up,"
the general executive board of the
Wisconsin State Federation of Labor,
in its mid-year annual meeting here,
went on record to "join in the con-
demnation of both the partiality of
the prosecuting department of Mon
roe county, Pennsylvania, and the
judicial usurpation practiced in this
case"
The officers of the federation sent
an appeal to Gov. Pinchot and took
steps to inform the entire labor move
ment of Wisconsin of the injustice to
a brother unionist in this case and to
lend every possible aid to organized
labor and other justice-loving indi-
viduals in Pennsylvania in their pres
ent campaign to eliminate practices
which tend to deprive individual rep
resentatives and labor organizations
of unquestioned rights in their de-
fense against the effort to destroy the
effectiveness of the workers. organ

Alameda, Calf. (ILNS)-Adjust-

Half of the men employed by the

Il not half so strongly in favor of a
revision of our prohibition laws as | am
opposed to the evils that they have brought
into existence. My appeal, therefore, is
not to the liquor interest nor To the moral
degenerates, but rather to the straight
thinking citizens who are sick and weary
from our calamitous dose of political
hypocrisy which has been fed to us for
13 years from a tarnished spoon of moral
ity | have the utmost sympathy for the
moral and religious forces Of our country,
respecting the great leadership they have
given us; but nothing is infallible save
divine decree. Although the attempt has
been consistently made to confuse the pro-
hibition issue with religious fOrtitude,
am tired of forever confusing religion
with an economic and social question like
prohibition.
Il am opposed to the return Of the saloon
system and stand for government control
