The labor press is doing splendid work in
defending and advancing labor's cause. With
out it, organized labor would be indeed poorly
equipped in it's efforts for the protection of
the wage earners.
The value of the labor press to our fellow
workers is incalculable.
Il. season and out of season the labor pa
pers proclaim the doctrine of justice for those
who toll.
Wage workers are coming to rely more
and more on the labor press to get the facts
on the subjects which affect them most close
ly. They are learning that the employer
owned press cannot be relied upon to support
labor's interests at those crucial times when
there is need of support to shape public opin-
ion for the truth and justice of labor's cause.
In labor controversies there is always need
of saying the right thing at the right time.
It gives the workers an advantage when the
advantage is needed, The labor papers are
on the job to do this work.
1t is of unreasonable value to the workers
to have these regular publications of their
own to give consideration to the general prin-
ciples of the labor movement and their appli-
cation.
It is of equally unreasonable value for
them to have a press that will strike hard
and to the point and persistently on crucial
questions in defense Of labor's rights.
The influence Of the labor press is also
felt outside the labor movement. It compels
the general public press to be more truthful
and decent in its attitude toward labor and
the labor movement.
Agitate! Educate! Organize!
This is the slogan Of the trade unionists
in their struggle for the emancipation Of all
the workers.
In this struggle the labor press is one of
the workers greatest assets.-From The Tri-
City Labor ReUielU, Rock Island, Ill.

Multiplying Courts

How the courts interfere with the will of
the people by declaring null and void the
legislative action of a democratic body direct
ly responsible to the people was again dem
onstrated last week when the Kentucky court
Of appeals set aside the ratification of the
child labor amendment.
The Kentucky legislature, by an over
whelming majority, ratified the amendment
to the federal constitution to outlaw child
labor. In 1926 and again in 1894 the general
assembly rejected the amendment, but under
the leadership Of President Roosevelt, who
has consistently opposed child labor and
urged a constitutional amendment to pro-
hibit tn exploitation Of child workers, the
assembly reversed previous actions and voted
ratification. Immediately the industrialists
of that tobacco processing state challenged
the action Of the legislature.
The court Of appeals ruled that c a gen
eral assembly has rejected a proposed amend
ment to the federal constitution it cannot re-
consider it unless Congress resubmits the
proposal. The court also held that an I'M
reasonable lapse of time has occurred since
the first submission of the amendment in
1924.
It is a strange fact that the court of ap-
peals Of Kentucky is the only high court in
the land which has made a similar ruling.
Some Of the most outstanding constitutional
authorities have held that the lapse of time is
not an element, and on that basis all but six
states in the union have ratified the amend
ment.
Simmered down, the decision of the Ken
lucky court is just another example of how
courts have usurped authority to undo the
work Of legislative bodies and to set aside
the will of the people. It is just another
testimonial to the justice of President Roose-
velt's demand for judicial reformation.

Who Is a Radical?
By DR.. CHARLES STEELE

Executive Director, Good NeighbOr League
Ordinarily, a radical is one who disagrees
with you. Actually, and %accordingto the die
tionary, a radical is one who tries to get
at the root of things. Unfortunately, the
word has been limited to one who is out to
make trouble in political and economic af-
fairs and who doesn't hesitate to use force
in order to accomplish his purpose.
Naturally, any kind of radical, . whether
he disagrees with others, whether he is try
ing to get at fundamental truth, or whether
he is trying to upset the present social order,
is inviting trouble for himself.
But we should be mighty careful how or
why we characterize a man as a radical-in
our labor union, in our church, in our town,
or in public life.
To call a man a radical is an easy way to
get rid of him without using any further
argument, because most of us don't like to
be disturbed by anything that's different. We
like to go along in the even tenor of our ways,
without having to think very much-about
anything. We'd much rather go to the movies
to be amused, or look at the "%funnies" in the
daily newspaper, or just call the whole thing
off," Anyway, it's much more comfortable
to go along with the crowd.
It doesn't require much brain power to
shut off a man just because you and your
side are in the majority. But it's a lot better
to understand a man than to silence him. And
perhaps-if you understood him-you'd find
that he was right even though he was diff
ferent.
Every man who ever became leader was
regarded as a radical" So was every great
thinker-every scientist, every philosopher,
every inventor, was at one time scorned as a
'radical"-because he wasn't thinking in a
rut, and because he had the courage to be
different. It's quite possible to go to extremes
although the great danger in most mems
lives is that they will die of dry rot-in fact,
they are already dead, but, unfortunately,
they don't know it.
And SO, you'd better be slow about buck
ing the Galileos-Who are sure that the world
revolves on its axis; the Columbuses who in
sist that the earth is round; the Edisons who
believe in the power of electricity; the Full
tons who see the possibilities in the steam
boat; the Gothenbergs who dreamed out the
printing press; the W~ashington's who fought
for freedom for their country; the Lincolns
who saved the negroes from slavery; to say
nothing about the men and women who to-
day are leading the fight for emancipation
in industry.
These are some Of the radicals" in practi-
cal life who saw, even through an agony Of
tears, while "wise men, Knocked and smiled
in derision.

0'(0NNELL CLAIMS
WAR DEPARTMENT
UTILITY CONTROLLED

In a scathing attack on the War
Department for their unfavorable
report on the necessity of power at
the Fort Peck dam, Congressman
Jerry j. O'Connell threatened to ask
for a Congressional investigation
into the activities Of the War De-
partment and the big utility com
panies throughout the country.
In the protest O'Connell stated,
Your decision on the question of
the necessity of power at the Fort
Peck dam with reference to delay
until there is a larger demand is
ridiculous in view of the fact that
Montana has constantly been con-
fronted with a serious power short
age. At the present time" said the
Congressman, power restriction is
being practiced throughout the en-
tire state, and this decision again
proves that the War Department is
constantly striving to sabotage Presi-
dent Roosevelt's power program"
O'Connell advised them of his in
tention to seek a Congressional in
vestigation into the activities of the
War Department and their engineers
in connection with the big utility
interests throughout the nation.
In concluding his protest the Mon
tana Congressman charged that
Army engineers in collaboration
with the Montana Power Company
were doing everything possible to
prevent power at the Fort Peck
dam until the Montana Power Com
pany ultimately completed their
work at what he termed the "Polson
Damsite steal"
81 did not attend the last hearing
in this matter" said Congressman
O'Connell, because it was obvious
that the War Department is so utility
controlled that no action could be
expected"
81 intend to take the question of
power at Fort Peck directly to Presi-
dent Roosevelt when I accompany
him from Spokane to the Fort Peck
dam on October End. He has already
assured me of his interest in the
question and in the Fort Peck power
bill which l introduced early in the
session before many, who are now
trying to jump on the Fort Peck
power bandwagon, ever gave the
question any thought"
The bill introduced by Congress-
man O'Connell was the first bill ever
brought before the attention of
either the House or the Senate call
ing for the installation of public
power at Fort Peck.

Japan Is Vulnerable; Boycott
Japanese Goods

"Made in Japan" a y a tiny label on
countless thousands Of small and large
articles sold in this country.
Don't buy these goods.
Buying japanese goods means to give
Japan an economic support to carrying on its
murderous invasion Of China. 1t means to
strengthen the most dangerous enemy Of
world peace today.
But no country could be forced more
readily to come to terms through a boycott.
Japan's foreign trade, in which it can COM
pete in world markets because of the ter
rifcally low wages paid to its workers, is a
veritable Achilles heel. Japan is vulnerable.
America is one Of its biggest markets. Stop
that market!
The British trade union movement has al
ready taken action, and has appealed to the
American Federation of Labor for the same
action. But this boycott must not be con-

fined to the labor movement. 1t is the re-
sponsibility Of every individual and group
that wants to aid in the campaign for peace
today.
Watch for the made in Japan" label, espe-
cially on these products: Cotton tissue and
sheeting, cotton yarn, raw silk, silk pongee,
silk tissues, knitted goods, canned goods
especially sea foods, pottery and glass, rub
Der soled and canvas shoes, manufactured
light metals, toys, brushes, rubber boots,
machine parts, novelties.
Stores will try to sell you Christmas toys
from Japan. Refuse them!
Don't buy silk in any form.
Get your organization to take action sup
porting the boycott! Spread it.
Don't Buy japanese Goods" must become
an active cry in the fight for peace.
