Move to Save Circus


Chicago, Ill.-Since the big Ring
ling Brothers Bar1lum & Bailey
Circus closed it's season in June and
retreated to Florida winter quarters,
five smaller circus organizations
have folded their tents for the sea-
son, all attributing their losses to
labor troubles, incessent rains and
business depression. TO save the
circus as an institution, the Circus
Fans Association Of America was
organized in Madison, Wis, for the
purpose of presenting a memorial
containing the signatures of 100000
school children asking President
Roosevelt to arbitrate the labor diff
ferences that are driving the big
tents off the road.

FOOD MERCHANTS BOOST
PRICES, PERKINS SAYS

Washington, d. c.. (AFLWNS).-
The power of merchants, landlords and
other owners of the necessaries of life
to reduce the living standards of work
ing men and women by boosting the
prices Of goods required in order to
live is strikingly revealed in the re-
port by Secretary of Labor Frances
Perkins showing that living costs for
families of wage earners and low sal
aried workers in thirty-two large
cities were increased 0.4 per cent dur
ing the quarter ended June Is.
The food merchants were especially
successful in price boosting. In fifty
one cities they advanced the average
price of food products as whole two
per cent from March Is to June Is
In the fields of fresh fruits and vege.
tables they hit the top by raising
prices 1853 per cent during the three
months period.

try, and that although more than 50
per cent organized, the union is com
posed of but ten thousand members.

fits the union carries on considerable
number of other welfare activities, in

Labor Day Statement
NJ. J. LYDEN
President Ohio State Federation of
Labor

On behalf of the Ohio State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor l wish to extend
greetings to Labor and the friends OF
Labor an this Forty-fourth Labor
Day.
Today l want the members of Or
ganized Labor who are affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor to
take pride in the fact that they are
the "Skilled American Workman" !"
that our country is great because of
their skill and ingenuity. | want them
to realize that as skilled craftsmen
they are second to none. We hear of
the German Mechanic" the British
Craftsman" and l say it is time to be-
gin talking about the american
Mechanic" - the American Crafts
man."
The American Federation Of Labor
is made up of skilled craftsmen. They
have spent years in acquiring their
skill. They are the backbone Of
America. When they meet together
in their Unions and decide that GER
tain conditions need changing or legis-
lation is desired, it is the voice Of the
people speaking. They deserve to be
listened to. They are not radicals.
They are the American people. They
have homes and families and their
children become the skilled craftsmen,
professional men and leaders of the
future.
1t is the responsibility of the men,
bers of Organized Labor to maintain
and even better their present high
standard Of craftsmanship. Their La
Dor Union is based upon their skill.
That skill can best be maintained by
an adequate system of apprentice
training.
Such system of training is estab-
lished by joint agreement between en-
ployers and employees. The youth of
America are given an opportunity to
work beside a skilled craftsman and
are given technical instructions along
with their work. They are protected
from exploitation by Organized Labor
BY such system the employers of
this country are assured of an ample
supply Of skilled workers. They will
need these workers in the future.
1t is our responsibility to see that
the Unions of which these young
craftsmen become members operate
not only in their interest but for the
welfare and advancement of the people
in general.
On this Labor Day we should be
thankful that we are members of free
and Independent Trade Unions and
that we live in the greatest country
in the world and under Democratic
form of government.

ENCOURAGING MARKETING
COOPERATION

The Wisconsin State Department of
Agriculture is carrying on some in
teresting activities on behalf of agri-
cultural marketing cooperation.
Countrywide co-ops are being Gre
ated. Permanent headquarters are to
be established. The membership is be-
ing brought together at periodic meet
ings. During the winter season, round
table talks will be held, and experts
will discuss cooperative marketing and
other phases of producer cooperation
This is a worthwhile undertaking
that is bound to produce results if the
farmers are sensible enough to stick
to their tasks, and not branch off into
alien fields of business. Cooperation
among producers, and the creation of
a central bargaining authority to dis
pose of crops, is sound and profitable
Failure comes when co-ops attempt
something which is basically out of
their line, such as merchandising A
successful marketing cooperative mar
kets the produce of it's members, and
that's all.

FIXED FARM PRODUCTS PRICES
URGED BY LABOR IN ENGLAND

Information from reliable sources in
Great Britain indicates that the or
ganized labor movement in that
country is giving serious attention to
the advlsabiity of supporting legisla-
tion designed to guarantee the prices
of farm products for British farmers
after the policy of the New Zealand
Government, which fixes prices a year
in advance
Coupled with the price guarantee
British labor proposes to eliminate the
middlemen and so reduce the spread
between what the public pays and the
farmer receives. In it's tentative form
the plan of the British unions visions
the appointment of national agricul-
tural commissions made up of grow
ers, landworkers and consumers tc
handle the new agricultural policy
The amount of each particular fooo
product required to feed the people
would be ascertained in advance.

Building Unions To
Back Housing PIan
Building Trades Councils
and Locol Union Adopt
Resolutions
MOVEMENT GROWING
Action of Unions Regarded
rs Having 1nestimuble
Value to Workers

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-The
movement for prevention of strikes
and stabilization of wages on building
projects financed by the United States
Housing Authority is growing rapidly
as the result of cooperation by organ
lied building trades workers.
Ten more Building Trades Councils
affiliated with the American Fedora
ton of Labor and ID additional local
unions have reported to the Housing
Authority that they have adopted res
olutions intended to obviate the posi-
bility of any stoppages of work or
low-rent housing projects to be built
with USHA loans.
The latest Building Trades Councils
to join the movement were those in
Lafayette and Muncie, Ind, Lake
Charles, La, Springfield, Mo-, Plain
field, N. j., Minot, N. Dak., Fort
Worth, Texas, Longview, Wash, and
Milwaukee and Waukesha, Wis, to-
gether with IA local unions in Fort
Worth.
Thus 70 Building Trades Councils
and 1S4 local unions have adopted
resolutions which provide:
l. That in case jurisdictional dis
putes arise on USHA project, there
shall be no stoppage Of work until
such time as the Building and Con
struction Trades Department of the
A. f. of L., the local Housing Au-
thority and the USHA have had full
opportunity to adjust the differences
between the trades.
2. That wage rates in effect at the
time work is commenced on such 8
project shall remain in effect until its
completion.
The action of the unions is regarded
as having inestimable value in that
they will make it possible to prac.
tically guarantee construction sched
ules in the $SOO,0O0,O0O United States
Housing Authority program.

Unionists Obliged
To BUY Union
BY I. NJ. ORNBURN
Secretary Treasurer, Union Label
Trades Department, A. f. of l..

Labor unionists are obligated to
manufacturers who recognize bona
fide labor unions. We cannot expect IN
dustry to accept collective bargaining
agreements and then not buy the prod
ucts that are made under union con-
ditions. We owe it to those "fair" con-
Germs to cooperate in buying the mer-
chandise upon which the union label
is displayed.
If members of labor unions, their
families and friends will patronize only
those firms that sell union label goods
and employ union services, we may
confidently expect steady growth for
labor unions; but if we fail to recipro-
cate by consuming the union-made
goods processed by our own friends,
we will lose the high standards we
established. WE MUST SHOW RE-
SUITS TO UNIONIZED INDUSTRY.

DENVER PHYSICIANS
INACCURATE SERVICE PLAN

Denver, Colo, (LNS).-The Denver
Medical Society has inaugurated plan
providing for lowcost group medical
service similar in some respects to the
Washington, d. c., experiment in
group medical care which drew con-
demnation from the American Medical
Association as a move to "socialize
medicine"
The plan, to be offered through a
centralized medical bureau to be set up
by the society, will allow persons or
families to make regular advance pay
ments for which, when an emergency
arises, they will be given the previous
ly-fixed amount of medical care with
out additional cost.
