RELIEF INVOLVES
CHANGING GROUP

Harrisburg, Pa. (ILNS). - "Relief
in Pennsylvania" Howard L. Russell,
secretary of public assistance re-
ported, 'involves a constantly chang
ing group, a majority of whom come
from the equally changing ranks of
the unemployed, stay on assistance
rolls for comparatively short periods,
and then go off, usually because of
employment"
Russell cited findings of a state
wide study of turnover in Pennsyl-
vania's relief population recently
completed by the Department of Pub
lie Assistance and believed to be the
first of it's kind in the United States.
The study shows that in 1889 ap-
proximately 521, 200 different relief
cases, consisting of 1,711,00O different
men, women and children, received
state general assistance at one time
or another during the year. But the
number aided at any one time never
exceeded more than about half those
figures and only Is per CENTS, 900
cases made up of 10000 persons
received grants throughout the year.
"The Is per cent constitute what
might be called the hard core of the
constantly shifting relief load" Rus
sell said. "This hard core total of
$4,000 families or unattached persons,
on the rolls continuously during 1889,
compares significantly with an esti-
mated total of approximately $4,000
cases containing no employable MEM
bers, which surveys show to have been

SUPREME COURT TO
REVIEW LABOR CASES

Washington, ID. c. (ILNS).--A the
request of the American Federation of
Labor, the Supreme Court has agreed
to review two important cases affect
ing A. F. of l.. unions.
Under an order handed down by
Chief Justice Hughes, the court con-
sented to consider protest by the
Milk Wagon Drivers local union of
the American Federation of Labor
against an injunction restraining
picketing of the Lake Valley Farm
Products stores in Chicago.
The Seventh Circuit Court of APP
peals granted the injunction against
the union, holding that the antitrust
laws had been violated and that no
labor dispute existed within the mean
ing of the Norris-La Guardia Anti
Injunction Act.
The court also promised to review
an order of the National Labor Rela-
tions Board canceling union shop
contract with the Serrick Corporation,
Muncie, Ind.

J. P. FREY SPEAKS
AT MIDDLETOWN

Middletown, Ohio. (OLNS).- More
than 500 persons representing labor,
industry, civic and professional lead
ers in the City of Middletown were
guests Of the Middletown Trades and
Labor Council at their thirty fourth
anniversary banquet held Wednesday
night, April 3, at the Hotel Manches
ter, in Middletown.
John P. Frey, president of the
Metal Trades Department of the
American Federation of Labor, was
the principal speaker. Other distin-
guished guests introduced at the BAN
quet were: M. j. Lyden, Youngstown,
president of the Ohio State Fedora
tion of Labor; Stanley Ogg, Hamil-
ton, George Suder, Cincinnati, vice
presidents, and Thomas J. Donnelly,
secretary treasurer of the Ohio State
Federation of Labor; Jack Hurst,
president of the Cincinnati Central
Labor Union, and Karl Brown, presi-
dent of the Hamilton Trades Council.
Mr.. Frey pointed out that dictator
ships have declared war on all democ-
racies; that relationships have de-
stroyed free speech, free press and
religious liberty and the right of men
to form themselves into voluntary as
sociations for any purpose.
"The necessity for industrial or
ganization," said Mr.. Frey, 'is as es-
sential as free political institutions
and religious liberty. Politically and
religiously we have not only pro-
tected the rights of the individual,
but our free institutions have made
it possible for our people to express
themselves without government re-
striction.
'Industrially we have not yet es-
tablished that same degree of free
dom. 1t is true that the law of the
land guarantees labor's right to or
ganize, but, unfortunately, it is
equally true that there are employers
who do not approve of such legisla-
tion, and who seek to evade it's letter
as well as it's spirit"

This is the peak Development
Of labor's application of democ-

To problems of the worlds busi-

Meeting this test, of the clash of
international interests
Labor's democratic methods find
Justification
Both for the existence of free labor
movements
AS we'll as for efficiency of prin-
ciples of democracy
For organized labor
Democracy is not just a word
Neither is it just some word that
spells "politics"-
1t is the surviving technique of or
ganization for labor
Since all other methods have been
tried
Ranging from mobs and riots to
grating bosses
After all the tests have been ap-
piled
Those unions which survived, and
grew to power and dignity
Are those which have followed the
prescriptions of democracy
X
Only in democracy
Can every man afford to be honest
But to build and maintain demo
cratic institutions
Honesty is the first and final touch
stone
For common welfare is the only
objective
And common honesty is an absolute
requirement

Working in confidence

In solving tangled problems OF

By laying common floor of labor's

tees
