THE MONEY SPENT

Of this amount the Republican
National Committee is expected to
report the expenditure of 1885,
900, which is the largest amount
ever spent by any party in a presi-
dental campaign, except in 1928,
when the Republican National
Committee spent $9,443,0 900 and
the Democratic National Commit
tee, $7,152,511. This year the De-
mocratic National Committee ex-
penditures will u around 3d.
100000. The Senatorial and Con-
gressional Committees of the two
major parties are expected to spend
about 100000 each.
Senatorial and Congressional
candidates personal expenditures
will run to about 100000. The
minor parties, Union, Socialist,
Communist, Prohibition, Farmer
Labor, ETC., will probably spend
among them about 100000.
State, county and local campaigns
will account for another $S,000,-
600.
One of the reasons for the heavy
expenditure this year is the great
increase in the number of voters
whom every candidate and COM
mittee is trying to reach and in
fluence. The addition Of more
than a million to the registered
vote of New York State led to the
calling Of a special session of the
legislature last week for the pur-
pose of enacting a law permitting
the polls to remain open several
hours later than the established
closing time of 5 o'clock.
If the efforts of the various
campaign committees to get out
the full vote are successful, the
probability is that in many of the
crucial states and cities the process
of counting the ballots will neces-
sarily be prolonged. 1t is, therefore,
quite possible that the nation will
not'know definitely who has been
elected President until we'll along
on Wednesday morning, Nov. 4.
In the cities which use voting
machines, such as New York, Buff
falo and many of the larger cities
of the Middle West, the total vote
is normally completely tabulated
and recorded within an hour after
the close of the polls. But with the
extension of voting time in New
York and the probability that it
will be necessary to resort to paper
ballots to supplement the work of
the voting machines, the way is
paved for a long delay in the re-
ports from this and other vita
centers of election night interest.
THE STRAW VOTE POLLS
In no previous campaign has
there been such an extensive use
of the method Of trying to fore
cast the election by means of polls
or STRAW votes One enterprising
newspaper, the Cleveland News
conducted what it calls a poll tc
end all polls" That newspaper dis
covered that M 1eee th,r M

Don't Go Back and Back
wards With Republicans

The hands of the Republican candidate are tied by a small but
powerful section Of his party. This group are its chief financial
hackers. Inevitably they must be recognized and rewarded. They
have already put their candidate in the straitjacket of their plat
form. Although it borrows a New Deal front to fool liberals the
platform shows that the same Old Guard is in control. IT

New Ruling Asked
On n. Y. Wage Act

Washington, D. G. (ILNs) The
supreme court was asked on June 23
to reconsider the decision by which
it held unconstitutional the New York
minimum wage law.
The petition, filed by New York
state, said the courts opinion left
some doubt as to whether the court
had actually reaffrmed the decision
on the basis of it's 1923 decision con-
demning the District Of Columbia
wage law.
Action on the petition will be inn
possible until the court returns from
its summer recess next October.

more M. Herrick, region director of
the NLRB in New York, urges in a

York state minimum wage law IN

ing in the case heartened friends OF

Contractors Made to Obey
Prevailing Wage Rate Law

Albany, n " (ILNS)-After two
years of repeated evasions of the pre-
vailing rate of wage law on public
works, the contracting firm of Ben
son and Johnson, West Forest Hills,
Queens county, has been forced to
pay its employees all back wages due,
and has been placed on probation by
the Suffolk county court to comply
with the law or face accumulated jail
sentences.
The present status of the three
brothers who constitute the firm is the
result of a series Of complaints
brought by their employees before the
division Of industrial relations of the
state department of labor. Previous
to the immediate action brought by
the labor apartment in the Suffolk
county court, however, the three had
been found guilty in federal court,
Brooklyn, of charges of forcing en-
ployes to kick back" part of their
wages on a PWA contract.

REED FLAYED
As Advocate of Anti-Union
Interests

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-David
Dubinsky, president of the Interna-
tional Ladies' Garment Workers I'm
ion, goes after James A. Reed, for
mer senator from Missouri, in a public
statement that fairly sizzles. Reed re
Gently revived his one-time notoriety
by joining All Smith in a threat to
bolt the democratic ticket. Dubinsky
says:
Some people may know James A..
Reed as a politician who serves today
the interests that he denounced only
yesterday as un-American and unpa-
triotic. We in the ladies' garment or
ganization know Mr.. Reed as a pa
triot of different caliber.
eve know him as the policy ad-
wiser and counsel of Nell Donnelly,
Inc, of Kansas City, Mo-, the largest
non-union garment shop in the West,
owned by his wife, Nell Donnelly, who
has conducted unremitting warfare on
our union in opposition to its efforts
to secure standard American work
conditions and collective bargaining
for the workers in Nell Donnelly, Inc.
"We know Mr. Reed as the inspired
leader of anti-union forces in Kansas
City, and to US, therefore, his re
appearance from political obscurity on
the wagon of the Liberty Leaguers
and their fellow-riders in this futile
attack upon President Roosevelt
causes no surprise"

RUBBER WORKERS
Hold Big Union Rally In
Gadsden

Gadsden, Ala (ILNS)-The labor
rally Of June 20 here was complete
success. There was perfect order, and
the 165 special policemen" who were
sworn in for the occasion, had nothing
to do but get used to wearing stars.
These policemen We're sworn in at the
instance of the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber CO., and doubtless include the
gang that beat up and nearly mur-
dered S. H. Dalyrmple in the pres
.ence Of his wife less than two weeks
ago.
1t was the company hope that
somebody would start something that
would give at least the color of an
excuse for massacre. But nobody
did; and besides, the workers were out
in a force which the hired cops didn't
care to tackle.
The United Rubber Workers Of
America announced in Akron few
days ago that they had provided q
fund Of 100000 for organizing work,
and that the headquarters Of the or
ganizers would be Gadsden, Alabama.
The very boldness Of the move, after
the brutal treatment Of Dalrymple,
disconnected anti-union interests
About nine or ten organizers are at
work here now, and more are ex-
pected daily.
The anti-union gangsters are going
as far as they dare. They called J. E.
Foreman, a union organizer, out Of
his hotel bed at night. He refused to
leave the hotel at their demand, and
they told him to get out Of town. He
is still there. B. ]. Widick was
ordered to get out of town, and he,
too, has proved recaleitrant. When
George B. Roberts, representing the
American Federation Of Labor, COM
planned to the chief of police and the
company of this bullying, everybody
denied everything.

Union Men Named To
Aid Drive To Help
Suit and Coat Market

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-Active
labor participation in an effort to
expand the women's coat and suit
market was begun here at meeting
of the National Coat and Suit Indus
try Board.
Reporting that the experiment of
voluntary code organization in its
field had been effective in stabiliza-
tion and in curbing sub-standard con-
ditions, the board ratified program
of permanent industrial self-govern-
men, which included close co-opera-
tion with organized labor Delegates
concurred in the findings of survey
committee which reported that the
industry's little NRA" has succeeded
in preserving wholesome business and
labor standards since the voiding of
the recovery act.
Alexander Printz, Cleveland, head
of the board, appointed David Dublin
sky, president of the International
Ladies Garment Workers Union, and
Isadore Nagler, manager of the New
York Cloakmakers' Onion Joint
Board, as labor members of a new
council Of business development.
Labor's part will be to help elimi-
nate "chiselers" by aiding in enforce
ment of fair trade practice regula-
tions in the industry, and by enlist
ing the wage-earner consumers to
support the market for garments
made under good labor and trade
standards.
President Dubinsky told the confer
ence that in this industry at least
despite the supreme courts decision
the 'recaleitrant 10 per centers" have
failed to nullify the efforts Of the con
structive 80 per cent to establish
standards in former sweatshop in
dustry. One factor in this achieve

George L. Berry, co-ordinator for

board that if industry is unable to
get legal interpretations of the con-
situation that will remove the iniqui-
ties from an industry, an amendment
to the constitution will be demanded
by the people.

RADIO GETS RESULTS
For Dairy Employees Union

The latter part of February, 1886
Mr.. Frank J. Gillespie, of the Dairy
Employees Union, came to Mr.. Nc
Assey, advertising manager of
work out a program to help
VIGIL, to see if VIGIL could
the union dairy employees. These
men work on the inside of the dair-
les, pasteurizing the milk, bottling it,
etc. Mr. McAssey called Mr.. R. Cal
vert Haws, program director of
VIGIL, and after several discussions
it was pointed out that while the
housewife was the purchaser of the
milk, the child was to a great extent
the consumer, and that if you could
reach the child in such a way as to
increase consumption of milk, the OBJ
jective of the campaign would be ac-
Icomplished
This program was designed to do
two things: First, to increase the
consumption of milk and thereby in
crease the number of dairy employees,
and second, to induce dairies who did
not employ union labor, or only en-
ployed them in part, to employ union
men. The Milk Drivers Union CO.
operated, and on March 16, 1886, the
first program went on the air. The
program theme was the story Of Buff
| tfalo Bill's early childhood in the west,
and the theme of the copy was Drink
milk purchased from your union milk
driver" The program was entitled
Pioneers Trading Post" and the
Pioneers Trading Post Club formed
-one Of the requisites for member
ship being that the application was
signed by union milk driver, and a
contest was started.
The results that the union received
| through their broadcasts over VIGIL
are almost phenomenal. Over 10000
members joined the Pioneers Trading
Post Club and at the end Of ten
weeks thirty-two dairies had voluntar-
lily signed up with the union for the
employment of their union members to
work in their plants, and although
there had been other milk programs
on the air without any perceptible in
crease in the sale of milk, today the
sale of milk in Chicago has increased
I25 per cent over what it was before
the program started, and whereas
only so per cent of the milk formerly
Isold was handled by union employees,
TODAY 80 per cent is handled.
| When the program started there
were only 1900 members of the union
employed. There are now, at the end
of May, over 2200, an increase Of 700
union men put back to work. The pre-
Isentation of the program has been
given very careful attention. One of
the features is pioneers pledge,
which is repeated at the end of each
broadcast:
eve are pioneers along the path
way to good health; we drink
milk each day for that is the way
to happiness, long life and
wealth.
The production of the program has
been under the personal direction OF
R. Calvert Haws, program director
of VIGIL.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Out-
put of mines, factories and construc-

this year is % per cent higher than
last year, according to the Monthly
Survey of Business of the American
Federation Of Labor. Production of
all kinds in the first six months Of

rise of SO per cent in the first quarter
of 1886, compared to the same period
Of the previous year; and in the
second quarter, just ending, corpora
tion profits have climbed IS per cent
higher than they were year ago.
eve have apparently reached the
point in business recovery where the
pump does not need to be primed,
where business is ready to go for
ward on its own initiative" says the
A. F. of L. Survey.
Higher Wages Imperative
From now on, barring summer and
winter dull seasons and unforeseen
occurrences, industry should be able
to give larger wage increases than it
has done in the recent past.
"Workers must insist on these
increases, for industry has now
reached a danger point. From
now forward, larger profits will
be made; workers buying power
will lag behind industrys produc-
ing capacity unless wages are
increased proportionately."
Pointing out that the workers are
distinctly better off now than they
were in 1888, the Survey makes the
blunt statement:
Workers income today is $18,000,-
100000 short of the lowest minimum
they require for decent living.
American workers know very well
that American industry today is
equipped to produce for every family
comfort level of living far more
than the minimum of decency pic
/ tured in the chart. When we have
man power and equipment enough tc
give us all a comfortable living, why
do we produce less than enough fol-
/ the minimum of decency, while 11,500,-
600 men walk the streets in idleness

est prosperity, 1929, to give 100000

tials of decent living, when we could
