Labor Regrets
DonuheY's S Move
Senior United States Senu-
tor From Ohio Quits
Public Life

There was note of regret in the
news from Washington last week.
The voluntary retirement from pub
lie life of Vic Donahey, senior United
States Senator from Ohio, which he
announced would take place at the end
of his present term, is indeed a severe
loss to the people of Ohio and to the
nation.
Senator Donahey came from the
ranks of Labor and he never lost the
common touch. He was trusted by
voters regardless Of party affliation.
From the time of his service in the
Ohio Constitutional Convention, where
he was aligned with the Labor bloc,
throughout his long career as State
Auditor and Governor, up to and in
cluding his incumbency in the high
office of United States Senator, Vic
Donahey was generally on the right
side Of every question.
Here are some Of the Constitutional
amendments Vic Donahey voted for in
that constitutional convention of 1912:
The Initiative and Referendum.
The direct primary system.
Workmen's Compensation.
The 8-hour day on public work.
Abolition Of prison labor.
Minimum hours of work for women
and children.
To put an end to the use of in
junction in labor disputes except to
preserve physical property from in
jury.
Vic Donahey has set an example for
public servants. He has merited the
right to retire to his quiet country
home at Indian Lake if that is his de-
sire. May he enjoy many more years
of health, peace, and prosperity.

JUST ONE PURPOSE

Social security has just one purpose
protection of workers. 1t is not
properly method of correcting the
evils Of our economic system or for
redistribution of wealth. Those who
advocate old age pensions which will
draw upon national wealth to provide
rates in excess of our ability to save,
are only seeking to build up their own
political power by jeopardizing the
security of workers. Real security for
workers can only rest on sound plans.
Anyone who for personal advantages
builds up following for big promises
which cannot be carried through is a
dangerous leader and in effect an
enemy of labor.
American Federationist.

"That guy next door can sure play

kitchen watching his mother fix the
salad Then he went on talking about
the ball game and how the new boy
had made a home run.
"Oh, go away now, Ned. See, you
are in my way" answered Mother.
"But | wanted to tell you about the
new boy"
"What new boy?"
"Ah, shucks! That's always the way,

vor Of a minimum wage law for the
state, he has always feared that a
minimum eventually becomes the
maximum. For real success, he said,
labor and capital must cooperate.
Mr.. Stephenson also remarked that
he is in favor of bill now pending
which will make it law that when
political office is open between cleo
tions, the one appointed to fill the va
cancy must be of the same political
faith as the one regularly elected.
Ray Palmer, state senator, speaking
on the old age pension law, stated a
labor man will soon be appointed to
the office in Steubenville Mr.. Pal
mer announced that 10000 more peo-
pie are now receiving old age pen
sions than year ago with 200 fewer
job holders at saving of over $780,
600 in overhead. This would leave us
to believe pension money is now going
to the aged rather than to the job
holders.
The state has managed to meet the
needs of the various departments this
year, according to Mr.. Palmer, by
abolishing the old system Of ear
marked funds and placing all state
revenues into big common pot. Funds
are now rationed out according to
needs. Before, it was common to find
a few departments eXtravagent while
others operated in the red year after
year. This has resulted in the state
meeting all requirements under the
school foundation plan, on time and in
full for the first time. Three millions
were also paid off on the school deficit
which, Mr.. Palmer stated, is the first
time this has been reduced rather
than enlarged.
President James M. Duffy of the
National Brotherhood of Operative
Potters, although in town only few
hours between lengthy and tirine
business trips, appeared to compliment
the two locals on the fine party they
sponsored. He praised the members

showed and for their foresight in aid
