Early Strikes in America

The first recorded strike in America
took place In 1741, when New York
bakers quit work as protest against
municipal ordinance regulating the
price of bread The earliest known
strike for higher wages took place in
1855, when the Philadelphia printers
ceased work as a means of enforcing
their demand for a minimum weekly
wage of Sc. The first organized strike
In America took place in 1899, when
the shoemakers belonging to the Fed
eral Society of Journeymen Cordwain-

The Changing
American Home

Guy Weakley, Ell Centro school su-
perntendent, in a recent address laid
the responsibility for the future of Am
erica directly on the doorsteps of par
ents. All parents should remember his
admonition that the important thing is
how much time parents are willing to
devote to their children-not how much
money.
The, truth of the superntendent's
words are demonstrated every day in
one way or another. Any juvenile judge
can tell you that one of the greatest
causes of juvenile delinquency is unres-
stricted, unquestioned use by the child
of the family automobile. There you
have a good example of money spent on
the child, but of time which the parents
failed to devote TO their offspring. The
result is bad.
On the other hand, there are children
of poor families, who never have the
use of the car and who often are denied
things other children consider necessi-
ties, who are among the best and most
promising of the youngsters. Their par
ents take time to study the childrens'
needs.
Churches and schools play an impor-
tant part, but the biggest single item
in shaping the future of child is the
action of his parents.

Double Taxation
Drawback to PROGRESS

OF congress Monday, small corporations

There were other factors in the
two situations, of course. The per-
sonality of Mayor LaGuardia, the
Tammany Hall issue, the average
mans desire to see reform gov

complicated the issue. Nevertheless,

but it didn't use them right-and
it is worse off now than before
the election.
The moral is unmistakable. A
labor party-a straight class
party-can't make the grade in
this country. But labor can do
much - more, perhaps than it
dreamed of. few years ago-by
marshalling its forces and acting
within the framework of existing

Bruce Cation Says:
- A Lesson to Labor in City Elections

The recent elections did not
hand down a great wealth of poll
tical lessons, but they did empha-
size one very interesting point in
respect to the part organized labor
can play in politics
II seems pretty clear, after
studying the returns, that the
point can be summarized about as
follows: Labor potentially has an
enormous strength, but it can be
exerted profitably only within the
framWorks of traditional party
politics. When labor steps out on
its own, it takes a licking
Highlights in this demonstration
are to be found in New York and
Detroit.
In New York, labor followed the
time-honored game of reward
your friends and punish your
enemies, and proved that it is
still a good game if you play it
right.
Mayor LaGuardia was labor's
friend, and labor went down the
line for him. The American Labor
Party, political instrument for the
militant labor unions, rolled up
something like 100000 of his amaz-
ing total of votes-slightly more. be
il noted, shan the margin of his
victory
But in Detroit labor played the
game the new way. 1t set out to
run its own man. on its own hook,
in the regular European-labor-
party manner. 1t talked unwisely
about "seizing the reins of power"
and it looked hopefully forward to
the prospect. not of having a
friend at the head of the city gov
ernment, but of being at the head
of the city government itself.
And in Detroit labor took a very
sound and decisive beating. Instead
of having friend in the city hall,
it now has a man agaisnt whom
it actively campaigned and who,
