First Warm Days Create

FALSE ELEADERS

Real friends of labor are regretful two Incl

No. when outlaw strike shut off that city's cleo
trio light & power without warning
Press dispatches told of near tragic results sucl
as surgeons having to perform operations with aiC
of flashlights. The men who caused this must hav
been the dupeS of insane leadership.
The other incident occurred at the State Fede
alton of Labor convention in Flagstaff Through the
prodding of politicians in the ranks of Arizona La
Dor, resolution was passed asking the governor t.
GUST the State Industrial Commission.
Gov. Osborn tried it once and failed, roundly re
baked by the State SIpl1 me Court.
We wonder how much thought delegates ca e

TWO commissioners who have carried and continue
TO carry union cards-mcmbers of the Railway
Brotherhoods.
Should these commissioners be removed, their
places would be taken by ex-sheriff and border
patrolman, neither of whom is a union man. Gov.
Osborn some months ago unsuccessfuly appointed
them to the commission.
We are certain that the rank and file of Organ
lied Labor in Arizona share our belief that dele
gates who voted to Oust two union men for pair of
non-card men, betrayed the labor movement
Organized Labor will be better off when it rids
its roster of officers of the small group political
parasites who would sell the movement down the
river. for political or personal gain.
Men are known by their deeds and their records
Arizonas industrial commissioners, including the
agriculturist member have long and honorable rec
ords, like the vast majority of men who give sincere
and unselfish service to the labor movement.
Can you say much for a politician who new
in his life carried union card but for voteget-
ting purposes suddenly spouts of his devotion to the
movement? OF of an aumnus of Deer Lodge?

THE SILK STOCKING AREA

AS prominent women begin setting an example
ior the conservation of silk by wearing cotton stock
ngs it is interesting to review the rise and fall of
the silk stocking area.
In 1899 at the turn of the century, silk stock
ngs first made their appearance in American
stores That year. 12572 pairs of silk stockings
sod which constituted one pair sold for every $500
pairs of cotton stockings 1t didn't look then as if
silk stockings going to go over with women
and ten years later in 1909, less than per
cent of the stockings sold were made of silk
1t was not until after the last war that silk
stockings approached the popularity which they
have had recently. Even in 1919, over half of the
stockings sold to women were made of cotton, but
during the next ten years cotton stockings became
drug on the market. In 1929 about Sc per cent of
women were wearing silk stockings and last year
over 90 per cent of the stockings sold made of
silk or rayon.
Girls who have grown up during the period since
the last may find it hard to get used to the cot
ton stocking idea but their mothers should have less
difficulty dropping fashion which has actually had
such comparatively short life.
AS for men, most of them have never cared
much whether their socks were made Of silk, cotton
or wool. All have preferences, but last year only
about five per cent of mems socks were made of
silk
