business transaction, everything
about it becomes pleasant. But
whenever confidence Is absent, no
amount of any other qualities can
take its place.
You have often bought something
from someone you did not know, say
a solicitor who succeeded in taking
away your money at the door. Will
you ever see him again? Will you
get the goods you have paid for?
Was it miniature swindle? You
wonder and worry.
You spend hours in painful doubt.
Perhaps everything turned out all
right Even so. the profit went out
of the transaction when you had to
worry about getting your moneys
worth. Buy goods that are adver-
tlsed from merchants who adver-
tise. There lies confidence.
One Of the chief services Of news
paper advertising to consumers is
that it denotes which merchants or
products are worthy of confidence.
Because newspaper publishers are
so jealous of their advertising. col
ums and are quick to reject any
thing which does not live up to their
standards, readers know that If a
thing is regularly advertised in the
newspaper 1t is worthy of their con-
fidence.
As matter of fact, the appear
ance of an advertisement in a news
paper Is recommendation of the
character and quality of the goods
being advertised.

Tragedy of Unemployment
In discussing the problem of unem-
ployment Mr. Frey said:
"The continuance of the depression;
the failure of millions of American
workmen to secure employment; the
inability of large numbers Of young
people graduating from our high
schools, colleges and universities to
secure employment, has given politi-
cal demagogues, professional patriots
and propagandists for theoretical
schemes to save humanity an excep-
tional opportunity for their activities.
"Men who cannot secure work, who
see their families suffering and who
have little hope for the future, are
frequently like drowning men grasp
ing at straws to support them. 1t is
time when political programs for
the impossible, or those with imprac-
tical radical objectives, attract the in

port of the Executive Board of the

Extension of Government Enterprise
"a phase of the present national
industrial order of direct concern to
our department and it's afiliates," the
report said, "is the growing tendency
toward governmental enterprise and
employment in public as distinguished
from private undertakings. 1t is to
be noted that public or governmental
employment does not permit either
goods produced, commodities manu-
factured, or services rendered of being
identified by a Union Label, Shop
Card, or Button, that employment re-
lations in the main are not established
through collective bargaining and that
work standards are generally not the
outcome of collective negotiations.

are that it will continue. The first
ware was taken off the new circular
kiln September 26 and with this kiln
in operation, together with the other

the firm is making plans to install

When this program is completed pro-

Red Wing, Minn.-Local Union No.
$50 has some very good news for the
Herald this week.
President James M. Duffy has come
and gone, but not to be forgotten. He
made very lasting impression on the
membership and the management.
President Duffy gave a very instruc-
tive talk to the members on subjects
that had threatened to split the local
wide open.
The contract committee and Presi-
dent Duffy met with the management
and received some concessions, or at
least definite promise to consider
certain requests. The local member
ship is happy to report that the con-
tract has been signed and it contained
some very important items.
This local feels that the progress
made in the new contract is all due
to President Duffy. The committee
is very proud of the job that was done,
as it certainly made strides for the
better. We believe the new contract
will help very much to make the local
100 per cent strong. 1t is to be hoped
our president will be able to visit this
local regularly.-O. C. $50.

urer of the Ohio State Federation of
Labor, not to act with out first giving
careful study" to a plan being
brought before them proposing to ex-
empt from taxation the first 5000

The proposal is being sponsored by
group headed by Raymond j. JEFF
ferries, Cleveland, who resigned from
a position with the State Division Of
Aid for the Aged for the purpose Of
conducting the campaign for the "Ohio
Tax-Free Homes Association"
Under the Associations proposal,
exemption of the first $4,000 appraisal
value of all farms, single and two
family homes for taxing purposes
would be secured through enactment
Of law or adoption Of a constitu-
tional amendment. A gross income tax
levy is suggested as means Of max
ing up any deficiency in tax revenue
caused by such exemptions.
In his letter to the Labor Bodies,
Secretary Donnelly informed them
that the Executive Board of the State
Federation of Labor considered the
proposition at meeting September
26.
"The Executive Board members
were of the opinion that any such
proposition should be given very care
full study before receiving the indorse-
ment of Labor" Secretary Donnelly
stated in his letter.

the opinion that they should not take

Columbus, O.-Mrs. Marie Amorose,
Columbus owner of chain of 30 dry
cleaning establishments in Central
Ohio who apparently would rather
pay hundreds of dollars to attorneys
to keep her out Of jail than pay her
employees the minimum wage required
by law, last week found only two ha-
beas corpus proceedings between her
self and Jail terms totalling 80 days
and fines amounting to $500.
Her persistent disregard for the
Ohio minimum wage law has kept her
in legal hot water for months, and her
present difficulties are the result of
enforcement of sentence orders by Co.

Miller and Francis P. Howard for vio-
lation of probation.
After spending a weekend in Jail
on Judge Miller's enforcement order
of 10 days in Jail and payment Of a

sents situation that can not be un-

"In this field of employment we are
necessarily limited and confined to an
appeal to favor the purchasing Of
Union Labeled articles produced in
private industry and in favoring the
patronage of Union Label shops and
Union Button services of private en-
terprises. Indeed, this presents de-

possibilities and to which we have
been keenly alert"
Employers Interest in Union Label

Turning to the increasing demand
for products made and services rem
dered by trade union members, the re-
port said:
primarily the activities of our De-
partment are centered more particu-
larly in the field of private enterprise.
1t is here we can function most ef-
fectually and successfully. We are
therefore especially interested with
all that is transpiring in and which
in any way affects private enterprise.
1t is in this field that labor can most
freely and fully use it's economic
power. 1t is here that we have en-
deavored to develop friendly and CO.
operative relations with employers. In
this we have been quite successful.
