Parents of this community, after en-

have a choice in the hours worked,
wages received, conditions under
which they work, and above all, job
security.
Organized labor in Ohio, the official
pointed out, has demanded laws which
require seats for female employees,
but as yet these seats haven't been oc-
cupied. Maximum hours have been
stipulated, but never lived up to. Lack
of organization is the only reason
these laws have been abused.

Baking Pan Complexion

In modern gas and electric ovens
the color of the pan may make lot
of difference in the kind Of cake you
get.
If your pan is black or tarnished
the crust may burn before the inside
of the cake is cooked. That is be-
cause black or tarnished pan alb
serbs heat much more rapidly than a
shiny utensil.
This does not mean you should shy
away from using pans made Of dark
metals or pans that are tarnished for
all baking purposes. Some products
like corn bread, for eXample-require
a good thick crust. In that case, you
would want pan that absorbs the
heat rapidly.
The rule to remember then, is this
The SINNER the pan, the more delicate
the crust; the darker the pan, the
more well-done the crust-that is, pro
viding the temperature used for
baking is the same in each case. That
holds in all ovens, especially in mod
ern gas and electric ranges.

pose of maintaining and increasing
the wages and hours and the living
standards of the workers. That is
the reason for labor combining. That
is the reason for labor unions and for
their existence.

Most Of you have heard at some
time or other about the Sherman Anti
Trust Law. Most of you know that
this law was passed to prevent large
combinations of capital and trusts
from imposing their will, by the fix
ing of prices, upon the community
and thus taking from the community
things that they ought not take from
them. That is the basis of the Sher-
man Antitrust Law. 1t was passed
in 1890.
when the law was passed it was
said that it would not apply to labor
organizations or labor unions, that
labor unions would be exempt from

In order that the organized labor

"That the Executive Council of the

of this situation, and if they find con-

be authorized to seek or support leg

dictatorial powers now possessed by
these chain store owners.
"That the Executive Council of the

be authorized, after such study has
resulted in finding that the continue
ton of chain stores are detrimental,
to the best interests of the workers
and have concluded that the imposi.
tion Of adequate taxes on chain stores

Federations and Central Labor Unions
to support the imposition of such tax.

Antitrust Law. Then we had to seek
an amendment, and we secured that
amendment in the year 1914, through
the passage of the Clayton Act.
"What is the Clayton Act? The
Clayton Act, besides attempting to
exempt labor unions from the Anti
Trust Law, was what Samuel Com
pers declared to be the Magma Charta
Of labor. 1t says: "The labor of
human being is not commodity or
an article Of commerce. Get the sig
nificance of that language: The labor
of human being is not commodity
or an article Of commerce. We then
thought labor would be exempted
from the Antitrust Law.
Arnold Uses Anti-Trust Law To
Dsintegrate Labor Unions
"Within the last year or SO there
has been undue activity in the Anti
Trust Division of the Department of
Justice, and labor organizations as
such have been indicted-not only the
officials, but the labor unions have
been indicted as such for the purpose
of invading their treasures by fines
and thus causing the disintegration Of
many of these organizations.
''It has come to such pass that a
business agent of labor union is al
most afraid to sit down with an as
sociation of employers and discuss
wages, hours and working conditions,
for fear that if the employer later did
something that was in violation of the
Anti Trust Law, the labor officials
and their unions would be brought
under the same charge of conspiracy
to violate the Antitrust Law.
"I believe that this particular de-
partment of the Department of JUS
tice is on the wrong path. l don't be-
lieve it has the approval of the At
torney General. l know it was started
before he became Attorney General.
Building Trades Unions Are Arnold's
Main Target
"There is going on very quietly in
several cities throughout the country
perhaps in the city Of Cincinnati, an
investigation into certain labor ac-
tivities in the building trades, and, if
we are informed correctly, it is in
tended to dramatize the situation by
bringing out indictments against sew
eral of the companies and several of
the labor unions and their officials in
these cities at one and the same time
In other words, if we are Informed
correctly, it is the intention of the
Antitrust Division of the Depart
ment of Justice to bring forth a series
of indictments at one particular time
and thus electrify the country and
have the people believe that labor has
committed great wrongs.
Organized Labor Seeks Protection OF
Workers Living Standards
"Whit has labor done to invite the
Department of Justice to attempt any
such procedure?, All it has done is
to endeavor to maintain the prices OF
labor, so that the living standards OF
the workers will not be lowered. We
believe, and we had right to believe
under the old Act, the Clayton Act
that that was the right Of labor.

The Farmers Share

Farmers share Of consumers food
dollars in 1888 was the smallest in
four years.
Out of every dollar consumers spent
for So important foods, 40 cents went
into farmers pockets last year 45
cents in 1887; "A cents in 1886; AZ
cents in 1885. Until war broke out in
Europe, the farmers share in con-
sumers' food dollars during 1889 was
smaller than in 1888. In September,
it stepped up to the 1898 level, but it
is doubtful whether this level will be
maintained.
When food was cheapest-back in
2-33-farmers got 33 to 35 cents
out of each consumer food dollar.
When food was most expensive, dur
ing the prosperity. years of 1925-29,
