jority Of voters in a manner unpar-
alleled IN our times.
Thus, to tho greatest degree posi-
bio under our constitution and sys-
tenn Of government, the destinies Of
the nation are placed In the hands Of
one man. Queries to national legis-
lators In both the house and senate
indicate that the presidents leader
ship win be accepted almost without
question.
In this situation, 1t Is to be hoped,
the president will have the advice and
counsel Of men who are interested
more in the welfare Of the ration
than In their own political fortunes.
In short, that his friends and ad-
visers will not hesitate to say frankly
what they believe should be done In
any given situation.
OF Mr.. Rooseveltis desire to bring
America to q new and greater pros
perity and, at the same time, pre-.
serve our meritorious institutions,
there can be no question. Should he
be able to do so, he viii take rank
among the great men Of history, for
more depends upon America today
than the welfare Of the American
people alone. Since we are the great.
est single power In the world We
must. Of necessity, set the pace for
many subordinate nations.
In view Of the tremendous power
and influence which are his. how
ever, the president may find 1t diff
cult to beware Of the sycophants who
seek advantage for themselves by
singing his praises. Every man ele-
waited to high executive office knows
that this tendency exists. but not Ill
Of them have been able to distin-
guish the true from the false. The
result, in some cases. has been the
Punishment Of those true friends who
say things the man In power does not
like to hear.
On this basis, the last election win
constitute q terrific-perhaps even
an unfair-test Of Mr.. Roosevelt him
self. Instead Of trial by fire, such as
some presidents have known. he is to
be tried by applause, an unusual but
none the less difficult matter.
Numerous questions Of policy re-
main to b decided. The nation. Is
not yet squarely on the course to re-
covery. Not al Of tho experiments
the president has tried have worked
out well and he. In line with his an
nounced intention, will be making
new ones.
What he win do by way Of solv-
ing labor difficulties, balancing the
budget and adjusting the nations
finances remains to be seen. The fu-
ture relationships between govern
ment and business are not yet clearly
outlined. Revisions must be made
there.
But whatever the course chosen
there Is ample cause for the belief
that It will be successful in view of
tho tremendous popular backing
which the president has received. The
one big question Is whether he can
keep his own feet on the ground.
II it inspires in him the sense Of
humility which such an overwhelming
expression on the part Of the people
should do, there will be small reason
to doubt the future

Il Is only natural that, as the aft
ermath OF an election In which I'm
portant changes In the administra-
ton were made, there should be MI
merous rlmors and suggestions as to
future policy. That this has been
the fact since the count Of the vote
cast on November 6 Is not surprising,
Enterprising and ambitious men
are always quick to seize opportunity,
or to attempt the manufacture Of op-
portunity when the occasion seems to
warrant. Since politicians usually
are ambitious by nature, it was to be
expected that suggestions as to what
might be done would be plentiful, II
not entirely sound.
One Of tho suggestions now being
made is that dovernor-elect Noodle
attempt to clear the decks for his ad-
ministration by obtaining construc-
tive action with regard to the state
min and elevator and the Bank Of
North Dakota before he takes office
This could be done by obtaining the
cooperation Of Governor Olson and
Commissioner Of Agriculture HUSKY
in effecting changes before he takes
office. The governor-elect then could
maintain the status quo BY use Of the
veto power, granted 70 tho governor
by the last legislature.

$4,000 Signatures Still
to Be Collected in
Remaining 3 Days

CHICAGO, Sept. 9. - Warnings
by district officials of the Commu-
mist Party have aroused the mem
bership to the need for increased
efforts in the nominating signature
drive which reached its deadline on
Wednesday but 1900 names are
still needed, it was reported today.
In the past few days 5000 sig
natures have been collected, but
William K. Gebert, district or
ganizer, pointed out 5000 names
must be collected each day until
the deadline if the Communist can
didates in this state are to be as
sured of their places on the ballot.
In a new appeal for volunteers
to help put the drive over the top,
Gebert said:
our election campaign is in a
very serious situation. We still
have to collect about $4,000 sig
natures and we have only three
days to do it. 1t is important,
therefore, that the local papers
have special appeals to the work
ers in the mass organizations and
to the sympathetic workers"
Saturday and yesterday were
special Red Days in which, it was
hoped, a substantial part of the
needed signatures would be col
lected.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. 9.-The

here Tuesday evening at 7 o'clock

This action was decided upon
when word was received by the IN

ing Plaza Hall, Sept. 6, 1894, vigor-
ously protest the action Of Brother
George Wilson, general secretary
treasurer, and M. Salvaggio, mem
Der of the GE.B., in their refusal
to report to us the general situa-
ton in the union as called for in
our official request to the Resident
Board.
Our request for such a report
has been motivated by one desire
only, namely, to discuss the policies
of our union officials and through
this discussion bring about closer
and better understanding among
the membership of the entire or
ganization. The refusal of these
brothers to report, despite the
unanimous request of the member
ship, unless I. Zimmerman who is
not member Of the General Ex-
ecutiYe Board and is not an elect
ed official of the union, be given
the floor, we declare is an imposi-
ton upon our membership, is a
challenge as to our rights to de-
eide to whom to extend the priyi-
lege to address our meetings.
I'VE protest to the General Resi-
dent Board for sending I. thinner
man to report to us, who is not
an elected official and who is not
wanted by the New York member
ship. We truly believe that this
action of the G.E.B. was provo
cative in character and was de-
signed, not to enlighten our mem
bership as to the general situation
prevailing in the union but was
an attempt to stir up dissension
in the ranks Of the shoe workers
and thus harm the best interests
of our membership. We demand
that the Resident Board rectify
their action and we once again
extend our invitation to send duly
elected members to the General
Executive Board to report to us

posed by a committee of the In

Ira. Estimates Show
Steady Unemployment
Rise Since April
BY GRACE HUTCHINs

Secretary Frances Perkins OF the
U. S. Department of Labor usually
gets into trouble when she tries to
quote figures on the progress of
recovery" as she calls it. Some one
at her press conferences is sure to
call attention to other facts and
figures that do not fit into her gay
colored picture puzzle of New Deal
success.
But in her Labor Day speech,
broadcast over the Columbia net
work, Miss Perkins cites few figures
and confines herself mainly to
smooth generalities on one major
theme. Progress has been made
under the recovery program. "We''
must now decide the question as to
what degree of social insurance
shall be granted to the workers.
Back of her argument is the fact
that workers themselves are press
ing for real social insurance, as
evidenced by the steady increase of
support for the Workers Unemploy-
ment and Social Insurance Bill Oh.
R. 1899. Forced by this growing
mass movement to consider serious
ly the matter of Federal unemploy-
ment insurance, President Roosevelt
has appointed committee on eco
nomic security, of which, says Miss
Perkins, 81 have the honor to be
chairman She recognizes that the
ruling class must undertake to pro-
vide for the family of the wage

keep them from real poverty during
brief periods" Of unemployment.
Profits Must Show Steadily

practically synonymous with profits

Urge Hosiery Workers
to Join General Strike

READING, Pa, Sept. 9-The
Reading Section of the Communist
Party has issued a leaflet to the
hosiery workers of this city urging
them to demand strike in the in
dustry now. The hosiery workers
are operating under no contract
and conditions have been consider
ably lowered in recent months.
Union officials of the American
Federation of Full Fashioned Ho-
Siery Workers have refused to call
the men and women out on strike,
although the agreements expired on
May 30. Workers were led to be-
ieve that a strike would be called
to enforce the signing of new
agreement.

ing power, SO runs her argument
because:
Thus we can build up that in
ternal expansion of our markets
which is so essential for the utiliza-
ton of our idle capital and the
employment of unemployed labor
and the steady flow of profits to
those who have the ingenuity and
the courage to step forward into
manufacturing or distribution in a
new field" (Our emphasize. H0
There speaks the politician, the
faithful servant of Wall Street and
it's government. Her mild reform
ism is forgotten in the defense OF
the profit system against radical at

Tread capitalists - G.. HI are in
vested in industry, and they are
entitled to expect the maintenance
of profits i. Profits will be main
tanned by keeping this market for
goods open. The close relation be-
tween good wages and steady profits
is very clear in our American eco
nomy."
Wages averaging $19.25 a week
for those who have work, and
profits in the millions of dollars
this connection is quite clear to the
workers.
Jobs, Real Wages, Drop
For the few figures quoted in this
Labor Day speech, the Labor Secre-
tary relies upon a comparison with
March, 1888, the lowest point of the
depression, while saying nothing
whatever about the recession of the
past five months. Even the New
York Times pointed out in recent
editorial august %, 1934): Com
parsons with March, 1888, are with
what was undoubtedly in many
respects the worst month of our
economic history; a substantial i'm
provement from these figures may
still leave a highly unsatisfactory
condition" Since April of this year
all indexes show a decline.
The U. S. Department CT Labor
itself reports drop Of over 10 per
cent in manufacturing payrolls be-
tween April and July, 1894, from
673 down to 60.4, with 1923-25 as
