LABOR RIGHTS
UPHELD BY
LAND0N
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON

By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
TOPEKA, Kan, Julq 80
UN.SO.-In a friendly reply to
an interrogation from Norman
Thomas, Socialist candidate for
President, Governor Alfred M.
Landon today declared for pro-
lection "of workers in the right
of free speech and free assembly"
to promote union organization.
The Republican nominee cited
his use of State troops in a strike
in Cherokee county. Kan. in
1895, to protect union workers in
their constitutional rights. He
had been challenged by Thomas
to say whether his statements on
labor organization made in his &C.
ceptance speech last Thursday
constituted denial OF Tree
speech and free assembly to
unioniStS.
Position Amplified
Earlier, Landon was told by
Frank Horton and Elmer Brock,
stockmen from Buffalo, Wyo.,
that he would carry the West
and every State where cattle
grazed. Both denounced Roose-
welt policies as tending to drive
the American cattle-raiSer out OF
business.
In his letter to Thomas, Lam
don amplified his position on
labor and the union movement.
In precise terms, he declared
workers have:
Fright to meet among them
selves or with others of their
own choice. to promote Organi-
zation, with complete freedom
from interference from anyone
whatsoever"
The exchange Of letters marked
the first personal communication
between two presidential candi-
dates in the present campaign.
Horton in drawing tones told
newspapermen:
1--WE are for Governor Lam
don. There is tremendous SEN
bAmCHk 1Ok VIC VCSSGAA
country. Wherever Stockmen
live, he's strong, and most of
the West is composed of stock
men.
zone reason TO rhis popu-
Iarity is the antipathy Of the
Administration to live stock
interests, as shown in many
ways, and a prevailing belief
in LandOn's integrity, his COM
mon sense and his Amer
icaniSm. The Administration
seems to be operating upon
the theory that it must drive
the American stock man out
Of business.
TREATIES CITED
"This is evidenced in the
reciprocal trade treaties, the
importation Of cattle from
countries infested with the
hOOf and mouth diseaSe-SOme-
thing which alone may wipe
out the American cattle indus
try-and its rotten adminiStra-
ton Of the grazing laws"
At this point, Brock interrupted
to say:
"The original grazing act
wasn't so bad but the amend
mentS passed were vicious and
it's the vicious administration Of
this law which INJURIES cattle
men.
1--WE believe LandOn will end
this. We feel he has a proper re.
spect for State rights, State gov.
ernmentS and local self govern.

ADS TO REVEAL
CAR COSTS

Automobile manufacturers will
advertise prices that will give the
future purchaser a better idea of

Automobile Manufacturers AS
SociatiOn.
Alvin McCauly, president of the
association, said today the new
policy among members would be
to include all accessories and other

DAIRY APPEALS
T0HIGH COURT

Claiming a violation of the due
process clause of the Fourteenth
Amendment, the Highland Farms
Dairy and Luther w. High, Wash
ington retail milk dealer, appealed
to the Supreme Court yesterday
to decide the constitutionality Of
the Virginia milk-control act.
The act, which was upheld by
the District Court in suit by the
same plaintiffs recently, enables
the Virginia milk commission to
fix a minimum price for milk and
to regulate marketing in any milk
shed area in Virginia where a ma
jority of producers ask for such
action.
Highland Farms Dairy Is the
sole producer for the High retail
stores which operate in Washing
ton. In the brief filed in the Su-
preme Court, the appellants
claimed that the District Court
erred in denying a previous in
junction against the act, thus i'm
properly allowing delegation Of
legislative powers to the State.

"Take your head out of your

out Of your hips and walk as

The walk is everything to the

when they learn to hold them

tired. Fatigue, Mr.. Powers
thinks, is the greatest contributor
to the appearance OF age.
Your slumped position may be
the least firing for you because
you have strengthened the wrong
muscles. If erect posture is firing,
you need corrective work to get
your body in line. Strengthen the
muscles, learn to stand and walk
correctly, and the right position
will be the most natural as we'll as

Amateur golf seems to be weak

many more one, two and three han
