The Christmas Buying Circle
By l. M. Ornburn, Sec'y-Treas. Union Label
Trades Department, American Fedora
ton of Labor

By |. M. Ornburn, Sec'y-Treas. Union Label
Trades Department, American Fedora
ton of Labor
During the Yuletide Season when the men,
bers of the family gather in a circle, it is a good
time to make a pledge to buy Union Label
gifts. If each member of a Labor Union and
his family would buy only Union-made mer-
chandise and patronize only Union services,
Christmas would be more b~ountiful and the
New Year would be more prosperous for all
workers.
There is even a greater circle in the social
and economic life of our Nation. This circle
is formed when workers join a Labor Union
and buy Union Label products. Through col
lective bargaining organized workers receive
better wages, and when their Union-earned
money is spent only for Union-made products
and Union services, it constantly ~revolves and
comes back to them in better and better wages.
This circle spirals upward and brings prosperity
to our beloved land. The depression was caused
by a condition that was just the reverse of
American Labor's plan for recovery.
In 1929, our economic system went into a
t~ail-spin. Wages were reduced; workers pur-
chased less and less goods; and buying power
spiralled downward in a vicious circle which
caused increasing unemployment.
Some workers sit and hope that Santa Claus
will come down the chimney and bring them
b%ountiful gifts. The only SANITY" is the one
that workers make for themselves by joining
a Labor Union and buying their own products.
This Santa Claus comes through the front
door with a larger pay envelope on Saturday
night.
Do your Christmas shopping early and buy
only Union Labelled gifts. 1t is not in har-
mony with the Christmas spirit to purchase
products of sweatshops in which chiselers en-
ploy child labor and women at low wages. When
buying Union-made goods, the purchaser is
assured that they are American-made and also
that they are made under the most sanitary
conditions by skilled workmen. Become Union
Label-conscious when you buy gifts. Make it
a Merry Union Label" Christmas.

Unemployment Count Needed

How many unemployed are there in the
United States?
This question has never been definitely an
swered. The American Federation of Labor
has probably given the nearest to the correct
answer, but its figures are only estimates.
More than estimates are needed. There should
be definite knowledge. The best hope for sue
cessful reatment of any disease lies in know
ing what the disease is, its cause and its extent.
Unemployment is a disease of the utmost seri-
BUSINESS affecting society. When we know the
extent of unemployment, there will be more
hope of doing away with it.
Neither the present nor past national admin
istrations have determined the actual proper
tons Of unemployment. It has been charged
that politics has been a factor in blocking a
census of the unemployed. Whatever the rea-
son, no census has been taken.
Labor is particularly interested in knowing
that all the facts about unemployment and its
best interests, as well as the nation, will be
served by an impartial, accurate and searching
survey of the subject.

TEACHERS OUTLINE
PENSION plans

A legislative program to secure a
sound Teachers Pension Law is the
problem now before the Butte
Teachers Union. The present pen
sion system being unsound the Butte
teachers are taking a leading part
in arousing state interest and legis-
lative sentiment toward action on
an adequate bill.
They have been instrumental in
selecting the form of Pension Bill
that the state teachers are support
ing. At the Executive Council meet
ing of the Montana Education Asso-
citation in Billings last year, the
Butte delegates proposed that the
Nj. E. A. go on record in support
of the Buck Bill in its revised form
as a basis for the pension law. The
proposal was adopted by the coun-
Gil, and the Butte Union in conjunc-
ton with the M. E. A. Immediately
worked on ways n means TO turth-
er passage of the bill. Montana leg
islators-elect were interviewed and
acquainted with the retirement
plans. Survey blanks, issued by M.
E. A. were filled out, and high lights
of the bill were typed and distrib-
uted for teachers information.
The Butte local once again calls
On its loyal supporters, the Butte
union members, and asks state fra
ternal members to "see them
through" their legislative program.
This is a union plan of action deserv-
ing of union support

TAMPA, Fla.-The movement for
state legislation providing minimum
wage laws for women workers was
blocked by the decision of the Su-
preme Court of the United States
last June declaring the New York
minimum wage law for women and
minors unconstitutional, the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor Executive
Council declared in their annual re-
port to the fifty-sixth annual con-
vention of the Federation, in session
here.
Justice Butler, who delivered the
opinion" the report said, held that
the principles of law involved had
been established by the court in 1923
when a District of Columbia mini
mum wage law was held invalid by
a 6 to 3 ruling.
"At the same time the court
granted a review of the Washington
State minimum wage law which is
very similar to the New York statute
which was declared unconstitutional.
The Washington law was declared
constitutional by the Supreme Court
of that state. New York was Joined
by Massachusetts, Illinois and Wash

Three weeks after the Supreme
Court declared the New York law

BEGIN HERE TODAY


Ann Hamilton, pretty young
secretary in a large business of
flee, goes to a travel agency to
make plans for her swo-week va
cation,
Bill Ware, travel bureau en-
ploye, persuades her to go to Lake
Racine. Bill is obviously attracted
hy Ann, but she gives him little
thought.
Ann goes to the mountain re-
sort and at first is lonely. Then
she meets Ralph Spring, head
boatmaa, who tells her he IS not
interested in girls. Ralph intro
duces her to Jaime Laird, wealthy
playboy. Jaime is handsome and
attentive. Ann tries to persuade
him to do something useful with
his life but he laughs at this. She
also meets Lefty Ponds, married
but fhrtatious.
On her way to go swimming
with Lefty, Ann is surprised to
meet Bill Ware.
NOW co ON With The STORY
CHAPTER TX
Ann awoke with the dream that
she was sailing into a crimson sun
set with Jaime Laird at her side.
The sun was streaming in her
windows, and she felt little lazy
when she was weakened. 1t was
a fine day for sail.
She lay back in her bed and
yawned luxuriously. There were
only a few days each year that
she could enjoy the luxury of late
sleep. She pressed a button, and
the waiter came to the room to
take her order for breakfast IN
bed. This luxury was the final
touch
She didn't feel like the Ann
Hamilton who pounded a type.
writer the other IL 1-2 months or
the year. But she lay back, wait,
ing for her coffee, she thought OF
the uniqueness of resort hotel
isolated in a beauty spot, where
people came and mingled for a
brief time and then went back to
their regular, ordered tasks IN the
workaday world.
She sensed the danger in vaca-
ton romances now, but thought
she was sufficiently aware of her
self to avoid them. A resort hotel
was an artificial community, lso-
lated from the home and the
worlds work. 1t was the scene OF
color and gaiety the year round.
There was a complete lack OF re-
straining contacts, and this left
one adrift. The edges of all eX-
perience were blurred. And vaca-
ton romance was sometimes
bury. The easy familiarity IN
resort hotel deceived one about
the things that really counted.
Ann was a little bewildered by
the admiration she had been re
ceiving. She began to distrust her
own impulses.
She was going to meet jaime
today with a feeling of premom-
ton. Jaime had made no effort
whatsoever to gain her love. He
would have laughed at the old
fashioned word "cOurtship." She
had simply fallen for him from
the start.
And it was strange that she
should feel this way. 1t wasn't
his money-plenty of which ne
seemed to have despite his losses
at gambling; it was mainly his
manner toward her. Jaime was
personable, charming, and they
enjoyed the same things. They
laughed at the same jokes. But
in the back of her mind, was a
faint desire to reform him.
The idea grew until it subor-
dinated all other considerations.
II satisfied some urge IN her that
she couldn't define.
But a desire to reform a man
does not help gain insight into
the mans real hcaracter. The va
cation experience blinded Ann.
She didn't know Jaime Laird.

She got up ana tlung the VIII
dowS open. Gone were ,ner DOUBTS
when she saw the bright sun on
the choppy waves out there.
When she went downstairs she
met Bill Ware in the lobby. He
came toward her again with his
ridiculous air of proprietorshlp.
He was sure Cf himself - that
young man!
But Ann recalled his sincere
ayowal of his feeling for her. HIS
chin was stubborn. He had sand,
perhaps every man Is sel1lsh
over the girl he loves"
Bill couldn't afford yachts and
CAV parties, but when he saw
something he thought was really
worth while, he went after 1t.
She was talking to Bill on the
porch when Jaime drove up 10
take her to the regatta on 81
Regis Lake. For a moment the
two men eyed each other with
cool, measuring regard. Bnl
couldn't find it in himself to dis
like this personable youth VINO
had somehow walloped ms
chances of sweeping Ann oil her
feet.
But Bill felt that, of all the men
at the resort, Ann had picked the
wrong man. After he had wait
ed ali these years to find the right
girl. she had fallen for a weak
ling. All that Bill could 90 was
to wait-and see what would nap
pen.
Instinct told him that Ann was
infatuated with this gay lad. Inc
way she looked at him, the way
she made him tie his reeter
around his throat as a protectlon
against the morning chill, the
bright chatter she conjured out of
the air for him-all convinced
Bill of the futility of his own
blunt efforts to make her see ms
love.
When the pair drove away, their
CAV voices drowned by the roar
of James expensive motor, Bill
felt forlorn and lonely. His throat
hurt.
1t was a bitter ordeal he en-
dured on the mountain that morn
ing, but the ordeal was not IN the
climb. He lived too intensely at
all times. He had stubbornly lad
his course, and he wasn't gong
to deviate from it, no matter how
much it hurt! He was IN love
with the girl.
To Ann it was an idyllic day.
She lay back among the pillows
in the stern of the sailbOat, while
Jaime kept his hand on the tlller.
The regatta on st. Regis Lake
was exciting. The whole fleet was
out, and the pink and white sails
dotting the lake looked like but
terfhes on the wing.
Sailing was new to her, but it
was no less pleasing than jaime s
behavior today. He was deferen-
tial. He remembered all the little
things that pleased her. His flat
terry was warm and, since there
were so many other pretty girls
who waved gaily to him from
boats, it was convincing.
When the boat was In its pen
again, and they were driving
along the shore, watching the sun
set behind the neighboring noun
tain range, there was a look IN
James eyes that made her be
lieve in him at last. She didn't
distrust her impulses any longer.
Just now she wanted to know him
better. She yielded to her own
urge to heart-searching.
He parked the car on a PENN
sula which jutted out into the
lake and for a long time they sat
there, silent. He slipped an arm
around her, holding her close.

I to spend two or three days.
He has in mind three-point
program embracing federal and

2. The winter and spring stu

In connection with the invita-
ton that will be issued to Govern

twice President Hoover invited
Mr.. Roosevelt to the White House
for conferences on pertinent sub
jects while the latter was in the
unofficial capacity of president
elect.
The first session took place in
November, 1882, and the second,
I in late January of 1888. The con-
ferees, however, were unable to
see eye to eye on questions OF
policy and nothing came of the
meetings.
Before he returns to Washing
ton, Mr.. Roosevelt if he finds ne
has time, may visit the IVA de-
velopmInt in Tennessee. He has
an engagement in Charlotte, N.
