Federation Will Vote For
Friends And Against
Its Enemies"
AID FOR BRITAIN
Chief Fdvors All Help For
England Short Of
Actual War

Quebec, Canada. The American
Federation of Labor will follow its
traditional non-partisan political pol
! icy in the coming Presidential cam
paign, President William Green told
the convention of the Brotherhood of
Railway Maintenance of Way EN-
ployes.
Mr.. Green said the Federation
would "vote for its friends and against
its enemies" policy which has made
the organization politically powerful.
The A. F. Of l.. chief came here from
Chicago, where he attended sessions
of the Democratic National Conven-
tion.
The federation favors all aid to
Britain "short of war" and is behind
the United States preparedness drive,
he said, adding that the organization
was calling on the government to find
work for the unemployed under pres
ent work Standards" with no lower
ing of standards until all the unem-
ployed are absorbed.
Referring to the international sit
uation, Mr.. Green said:
"The Dark Ages fade before to-
days savagery. 1t is the blackest Of
black spots upon the policies of these
totalitarian governments and we who
believe in democracy protest.
"We wonder why all these forces
of destruction have been turned loose
on mankind, for we have been taught
for the last $500 years that life is
sacred
If any dictator attacks the North
American Continent, be it Canada or
the United States, 1--WE declare it part

together to fight" he continued.
"We have established democracy
here. We are living in peace. In
fact, nobody can find the line which
divides Canada and the United States
and we are determined to preserve
liberty and fraternity on this conti-
nent even if it means the giving Of
our lives"
Mr.. Green said the A. F. Of L.
wanted to see the democracies of the
world give to Great Britain aid "any
where, any time, in the effort that
that country now is making to pre-
serve democracy"
Turning to the labor picture in the
United States, Mr.. Green declared
that John L. Lewis of the Congress

The first feature to catch the eye in
every English village is the village
War Memorial, with a list of the men
who went last time, and who did not
come back. From 1918 to 1889 the
loathing of war was unquestionably
the most powerful, the most general,
and the most constant of political
emotions. 1t was so powerful and so
general, indeed, as to arouse some
criticism among our friends abroad.
That loathing still persists. Yet once
more we are fighting. We are fight
ing, not in spite of our hatred Of war,
but because we hate it. We are not
fighting in obedience to the orders Of
our Government; our Government is
fighting in obedience to our orders.
We shall continue to fight until the
job is done or we are. What are we
fighting for?
My countrymen are, l am afraid,

Quite number Of the boys have
left this local and found employment
elsewhere Some new faces are seen
here, and we wish lot Of success to
both those who have left US and those
who have joined US. However, this
o. c. is Of the opinion that those
who have left will find conditions in
their new employment much better
than those to which they have long
been accustomed. 1t seems to be the
desire Of those in charge here to allow
things to become as impractical and
outmoded as possible.
We have many grievances here that
need righted. Our drinking system
here is, at it's best, very unsanitary,
impractical and inconvenient. All
those who work here are acquainted
with the dirty jugs and buckets that
we must walk an average of one quar-
ter mile to fill each morning and
everytime we want a fresh drink.
Those who work in more modern shops
would curl up in disgust at this un-
sanitary practice, which we assure you
is no fault of our own. The firm has
promised for several years to put in
electrical fountains so that we might
enjoy cool drink when we want it..
A fountain in each shop or department
would assure sanitary, cold water at
all times.
This water system, however, is
neither the greatest or the least of
our grievance. Several things, too
numerous to mention, are being prac-
ticed here, which are detrimental both
to our health and to our ability to

The report of the convention was
received by Local Union No. II at the

A. F. L. Will Follow Non-Par+ison Policy
In Presidential Campaign. Green Says
Vacation Over For
Pdden City Potters
Shop Is Reported Ready To
Resume Steady Pace
Once Again

Paden City, w. Va.-Local Union
l46's delegates to the recent ~ B.
of o. P. convention gave their re-
ports at the last regular meeting of
the organization last Thursday eve
ming. Unfortunately the weather man
was on a spree and the heat was so
intense that there were not as many
members present as expected.
After slump of a few months
duration, work here is apparently
about to get back on the regular
steady pace once more. Most all Of
the members who took vacation trips
have returned with reports of good
fishing. This year seems to have been
an exception . the big ones didn't
get away.
1t was interesting to note that after
several years of turning down pro-
posals to tax labor displacing ma
chinery, this convention passed such a
policy without one dissenting vote.
Day by day it becomes more evil
dent that the trend to reduce hours
without reducing wages plus the un-
employment insurance under the So
cial Security Act, does not begin to
cope with the unemployment prob
lem. Undoubtedly the hours could
be cut enough while making wages
high enough to stabalize employment
but it can readily be seen that there
is no real intent on the part of either
the employers or the government to
go far enough in this direction.
1t is hard to understand the OBJ
lection of many employers to ade-
quate unemployment insurance when
most Of them believe wholeheartedly
in fire, tornado and all kinds of insur-
ance for the protection Of their prop
erty. However, they are indifferent or
opposed to that which sooner or later
must represent life or death to the
business in which they are engaged.
There must be some plan of insur-
ance to pay those totally unemployed
an adequate sum and to provide for

Demonstrations. Literature.
and Loud Speakers Teach
Citizens Alertness

East Liverpool's Safety Week is
now in full swing with posters on
every corner, loud speakers, store win
dow displays, literature and demon
strations instructing the citizens in
everything from the correct procedure
in crossing streets to first aid for the
injured.
Fred F. Young, Safety Council pres
ident, presented safety flag to the
city which will wave merrily at the
top of the mast unless there is fatal
accident within the city limits when
it will be flown at half staff.
Posters on all street corners urge
all on foot to look both ways before
stepping from the curb. Loud speak
ers both in buildings and on trucks
request all to remain on the sidewalk
until the traffic light is in their ia
vor. Gentle warnings are also given
motorists who turn corners without re-
gard for the pedestrians.
The Junior Chamber of Commerce
which is aiding the Council in it's cam
paign donated the city huge death-o-
meter which will remain in the Dia-
mond. Built like a giant speedometer
the eight-foot death-o-meter traces the
number of deaths to date and also the
number of injuries. 1t also gives last
years totals which were ten deaths
and 161 injuries.
The driving test trailer which was
so popular last year is back again and
will remain until Friday. 1t is equip
ped to give the driver IL different
tests, quite few more than in 1889.
Divided into two classifcations, the
tests prove the ability of the drivers
eyes and coordination. Anyone with
a drivers license is free to take the
exam which will be under the di-
rection of Council and JCC members.
Demonstrations of first aid by Red
Cross units, drills by firemen, dem
onstrating the use of life. nets, and
demonstration by various ambulances
have added to the campaign. Boy
Scouts have handed out free literature
on the streets and practically all the
stores in town have turned over one
Of their display windows to the drive.

Reqisfrofion Of
Aliens Is To Start
Last Of August
Almost Four Million Should
Be Registered In Four
Month Period

As part of the National Defense
program, nationwide registration of
aliens will be conducted from August
27 through December 26, 1910, by the
immigration and Naturalization Ser
vice of the Department of Justice.
Registration will take place in the
post Offices Of the nation. 1t is ex-
pected that more than three and one
half million aliens will be registered
during the four-month period.
Registration is made compulsory by
a specific act Of Congress, the Alien
Registration Act of 1910, which re-
quires all non-citizens to register dur
ing the four-month official registra-
ton period. The law requires that all
aliens ii years or older are to be reg
istered and fngerprinted. Alien child
rem under IA years of age will be reg
istered by their parents or guardians.
When alien children reach their four
teenth birthday, they will be required
to register in person and be finger
printed.
A fine of $1,000 and imprisonment
of six months is prescribed by the
Alien Registration Act for failure to
register, for refusal to be fingerprint-
ed, or for making registration state
ments known to be false.
AS part of its educational program
to acquaint non-citizens with the reg
istration requirements, the Alien Reg
istration Division is distributing more
than five million specimen forms list
ing the questions that will be asked
of aliens at registration time. Besides
the usual questions for establishing
identification, the QUESTIONABLE asks
the alien to tell how and when he en-
tered the country, the method of
transportation he used to get here, the
name of the vessel on which he ar
rived.

READY FOR PICNIC?

Lake Milton

Salem, O.-With the terrific heat
to be considered, Local Union No. AZ
had an excellent crowd out to the last
meeting to hear the report of our four
delegates to the recent Brotherhood
convention held in Atlantic City. One
\ would have thought we sent four Phil
y adelphia lawyers to hear them explain
the fine points of each resolution,
both those passed and those rejected
by the body.
We understand the Chairman, James
M. Duffy, certainly gave the commit
tees work to do while at the sea shore
and the results show that plenty of
hard work is good for the organiza-
tion.
The members of this local were
very we'll pleased with the outcome.
If you haven't read the resolutions,
be sure you get hold of last weeks
Herald and at least read those to go
before the manufacturers in confer
ence later this month.
We were especially pleased with the
request for pay day every two weeks
and the twenty per cent general in
crease. AS you know our hours will
soon be cut to 40 and it is necessary
to receive the increase to keep US at
par. We wish to give delegates Reedy,
Balsley, Vincent and Walters a real
hand for the manner in which they
prepared the excellent report. 1t is
the general opinion that this local
never had one quite so good.
We have chosen our conferee to go
t2 the Joint conference and help argue
our points with the manufacturers and
let it be known that we wish a new
scale along the lines set forth by
the delegates in convention.
The coming picnic will be outstand-
Nlng in every way if the ticket sale
Continues to progress at top speed. We
understand the committee is doing a
very nice job. AS you know, a rattle
for extra money to be used for prizes
is now in progress. A grand Frigi-
daire has been purchased from the
Ohio Edison Co. and will go to some
lucky feller the day of the outing at
Lake Milton, Saturday, August "a.
Tickets are being sold for ten cents
each or three for a quarter Be sure
you have handful. The prize is worth
it.

Deporfufion Of
Bridges Asked BY
Senator Ashursf
Demands That Senate Give
Speedy Approval To Gust
er For CLIO Chief

Washington D. C.-Senator Ash
urst (Democrat), of Arizona, pleaded
with the Senate to give speedy ap-
proval to a bill ordering the deporta-
tion of Harry Bridges, West Coast
CIO leader.
Terming Bridges an "evil and un-
happy man," Senator Ashurst remind
ed his colleagues that the House had
the Bridges deportation bill
1several weeks ago and it now was
pending before the Senate lmmigra-
tion Committee.
"All too long the American people
have been tortured by this evil man."
the Arizona Senator said.
"The enemy hammering on the
gates from within is even more dan
gerous than the enemy hammering
on the CRATES from without"
Ashurst said he had received "many
letters" urging that the Senate Judic-
iary Committee speed action on the
deportation bill.
eve must remember the recent
melancholy and bloody history of Nor
way, the Netherlands, Belgium and es-
-pecially France where the enemy op-
D0'ated from Within" Senator Ash
-~drst said.
Senator Reynolds (Democrat), OF
North Carolina, joined in the plea fo1
Senate approval Of the Bridges de-
portation measure, saying that Bridges
was opposed to "the American system
of government"
"Too long we have coddled these
Communist, Nazi, Fascist and crimi.
nal aliens who are enemies of this
Government" Reynolds doomed.
Senator Schwellenbach (Democrat)
of Washington, interrupted to say that
Senate recesses for the political con-
ventions had made it impossible fol
an immigration subcommittee to act
on the Bridges bill.
