INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - Mauri
Rose finished 27 seconds behind the
500-miie race winner last year and
each one Of those precious moments
cost him exactly S569.44 per second.
The pay-off from the Indianapolis
Motor Speedway and accessory and
lap prizes to Wild Bill Cummings,
the winner, was $29,725 exclusive of
future money-earning capacity and
Rose got $14,350 for second place,
difference of SIS, $50.
1t was the closest finish in the his
tory of the Speedway and Rose is
back this May 80 with new car
a faster one, he says, and he hopes
the score will be different.
He will pilot the Four Wheel-Drive
Special with which Frank Brisko
showed the way for 70 laps in last
years race.
"No one can be sure he is going
to win," Rose says, "but | know |
can hit the turns faster, maintain
higher speed, use less gas and rub
Der in the Four Wheel drive than
could in the rear wheel drive had
a year ago. With this added ad-
vantage, I hope to maintain better
average speed for the 500 miles"
Mauri thinks, too, that a majority
of the field in the annual Decoration
Day race at the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway will be faster this year,
too, and that it is likely Bill Cum
mings' winning speed record will be
broken.

Criticizes Ocean Mail Sub
sides

Washington, D. G. {ILNS)-A a gen
eral criticism Of ocean mail subsi-
dies, including an assertion that CON
tractors have wasted and diverted
funds received from the government,
was contained in a report to President
Roosevelt by Postmaster General
Farley
Farley recommended decided
changes" ia the administration Of the
subsidy.
"The liberal treatment accorded
to the operators under the ocean mail
contracts have resulted in much waste
and extravaganza" Farley told the
president. TOO many Of the contrac-
tors have diverted these grants or
subsidies, or by whatever name this
aid may be called, to other than sound
shipping operations"

RALLY NOW TO
THE UNION LABEL

Unionism means UNITY. It means
solidarity. 1t means standing to-
gether, not merely when the sun
shines, but when battle RACES.
Months ago the Tobacco Workers
international Union asked the labor
press Of America to stand with the
union in fight for the union label on
tobacco products and for a cigarette
tax equalization, 50 that the union
made l0-cent cigarette can live
The Axton-Fisher Tobacco Company
and the Brown & Williamson Tobacco
Corporation, both Of Louisville, make
union made 10-cent cigarettes.
These union-made cigarettes are
GOOD cigarettes. All the money goes
into the cigarette; none for fancy
wrappings or ballyhoo. Best Of all,
they are UNION MADE.
But, the l0-cent cigarette cannot
continue to live unless there is an
equalization Of the tax
Today every package Of 20 cigar
cites pays a tax of SIX cents. That
leaves only four cents with which to
pay for making the mion-made dime
cigarette.
The poor mans smoke has to bear
killing burden Of taxation
The UNION and the companies are
seeking an equalization in taxes that
put upon all cigarettes a tax proper
tionate to their selling price. They
ask: WHY SHOULD A DIME GIG
ARETTE PAY AS MUCH TAX AS
A l5-CENT CIGARETTE?
The government of the United
States AGREES WITH THE UNION
AND THE UNION COMPANIES in
the conclusion that there ought to
be an equalization for, if the 10-cent
cigarette has to pass out Of existence,
the smokers Of 10-cent cigarettes will
turn to the roll your own, which pays
a low tax, based on the pound and
the treasury will lose money.
Here comes a UNION, asking all
unions and all labor papers to join
| in fight for the union and for the
product which its members make.
If the 1o-cent cigarette dies, then
hundreds upon hundreds Of union jobs
will disappear, all the way from fac
tory to counter.
In congress House Resolution $3.50
is intended to correct the taxation sit
uation and allow the poor mans smoke
to live.
But, powerful political figures in
congress have not yet seen fit to allow
this bill to even get a hearing, much
less get to the floor
Every union man can do one thing
and those who smoke can do two
things.
First: Let your senator's and your
congressman know that YOU want
action on H. r. $3.50.
Second: Buy ONLY union-made Gig
arettes, no matter what your price
range. STICK TO THE UNION
PRODUCT and tell the dealer WHY
SAVE THE lo-CENT CIGAR

New Orleans ILNs)-Organized
labor was victorious in its fight to
restrain Mayor Walmsley and the
Commission Council from putting into
effect daylight saving time in New
Orleans Opponents, consisting Of
the non-union newspapers and golf
addicts, put up a stiff fight, but as

suggested that the matter be held in
allegiance until 1886 when the voters
will have an opportunity to decide the

Wagner Urges Long Time
National Housing Program

New York City (ILNs) Sen. Rob
ert Wagner pleaded for "a longtime,
centralized, and co-ordinated housing
program ia a speech broadcast to
the National Public Housing Confer
ence here.
Hc advocated q housing program
Which would operate il depressions as
well as IN good times.
1t should not interfere with legiti-
mate private initiative, but at the
same time it should insure low enough
interest rates and other costs to pro-
vide comfortable housing for those
who need help most" he said.

When a worker joins union he
ceases to stand alone in an indus
trial wilderness. He has more than
company; he has friends. In 1928
national and international unions in
the United States and Canada paid
$28,8l3,92454 in sick benefits, unem-
ployment benefits, old age disability
and other benefits and in mortuary
benefits to survivors Of deceased
members. Trade unionism fights for
the economic interests of its members
and their families, and IT STANDS
BY THE MAN IN TROUBLEl

STRAIGHT FROM
WASHINGTON
BY STEPHEN M. YOUNG
Congressman-at-Large

Five thousand farmers from prac-
tically every state, marched on Wash
ington recently They came to Wash
ington to express satisfaction with the
AAA and New Deal farm policies.
They swarmed over the White House
lawn. President Roosevelt addressed
the cheering agriculturists He told
them they still are receiving "insuf-
ficient prices and did they applaud
and cheerl The truth is, this is the
first time in American history that
the American people evidenced graft
tude to their president and to their
congress to the extent of making
pilgrimage to the country's capital at
their own expense, some coming as
far as two thousand miles, to thank
their congress and their president for
giving them square deal.
V&VV
The soldiers bonus" struggle has
been most spectacular. Many con
gressmen believe that the "pro-bonus-
ers" will master sufficient strength
in the senate to override the presi-
Dental veto. Their strategy was to
delay matters to give Father Cough
lin more opportunity to call for
deluge of telegrams to win a few SEN
ate votes for the Patman bill. They
caused a delay and Father Coughlin
made the speech. If this strategy does
not succeed, this issue will be com
promised, probably early il 1886
vGYV
As the general assembly Of Ohio is
adjourning without redistricting the
state, it is evident that Ohio citizens
will again elect two congressmen-at-
large in 1886. Voters Of New York and
Illinois have for many years regularly
elected two congressman at large. This
system has many advantages. For one
thing it provides additional and
greater representation. Every citizen
.is represented BY three congressman.
V&Vp
CCC veterans are taking a page
from the book Of ex-service men of the
World War A movement for a bonus
for the CCC veterans is now begin
ming to take definite form The sol
diers' bonus" issue has given many
a congressional headache during the
past twenty years. Is it possible that
these CCC veterans" viii soon have
lobby Of their own advocating a
ICCC bonus?
V&4V
An Ohio congressman, the other
day, received an offer Of another job
The offer was, AS we are letting you
out at the end Of your present term,
| am willing to hire you to cut fifty
cord Of wood on my farm" The next
letter he opened caused gasp Of
astonishment. It was different. This
constituent wrote: i am not asking
you for an application OF a job for
myself or friend, OF urging you to
vote for or against any legislation
in which ! am interested. | don't
