making silicosis an occupational dis
ease; the eight-hour collar to collar
bill; telephone tax; electrical energy
tax; providing for the security of min
ers wages; providing for an eight
hour day in all industries and occupa-
lions and the state moratorium on
mortgage foreclures. He also voted
for the Hitler bill.
In all fairness It may be said that
Mr.. Smith voted for the Short Train
bill; the recall of state and municipal
elective officers, and that he also
voted against a state sales tax. But
the fact still remains that his record
for the farm and labor program in
that session was 22%o.
In the twenty-sixth session Mr..
Smith voted against such measures
as a tax on natural gas and its dis
tributing lines, the strip mine coal
tax; labor relations act; hours of la
Dor for underground workers; repeal
of plan No. 2 of the Workmen's Com
pensation act; and the eight-hour day
for truck drivers. He voted for the
wage and hour bill, the repeal of the
Hitler bill which he had helped pass,
and he again voted against a state
sales tax, but the fact remains that
his sympathies were still with the
copper collared crowd so strongly that
his batting average for the farm and
la hor nrOqram was approximately ID
percent.
Mr.. Smith boasts In his article, that
he was best known for his strong sup
port of measures designed to bring
economy into state government; but
he does not state at whose expense
There is no doubt in my mind that
If Mr.. Smith received the Republican
and was miraculously
that the wage Garner of this
district would receive as scant con-
sideration from him as they received
while he was a representative in the
state legislature.

TEACHERS CHARTER
new MIDWEST LOCALS

CHICAGO. OPP = Chartering OF
three new locals in the middle west
is sign of greatly increased interest
in unionism by teachers, it was stated
at American Federation of Teachers

In Duluth, Mimi, the Duluth Teach

came into the AFT. In Kansas City
over 100 teachers formed local and
another was organized in Omaha.
Swinging of the economy axe by
school boards all over the country has
helped to make the teachers union

IT'S A
GREAT SYSTEM
(By Federated Press)
By JOHN PAINE

A lot of reasons have been sug
gested for the house action in killing
the s300,000,000 relief bill for prior
tiles victims, but we think We know
the answer:
l. The bill would have permitted
s24-a-week benefits.
g. A congressman is paid s192 a
week, or times as much.
g. No congressman wants to admit
that he isn't worth more than work
ingmen.
CoNGRESSMEN FIRST
For once in his career, President
Roosevelt muffed the ball.
The smart political approach would
have been first to sponsor bill for
the relief of congressman to the tune
of about 500 a week more, then ask
few bucks extra for the unemployed.
LITTLE LUTHER
Father" said Little Luther, what
do you think of the AFL-CIO proposal
for general wage increases?"
"It is not necessary for me to COM
ment, Luther, in view of what have
told you before. A single word would
be superfluous. But just let me say
this, and 1 hope for once you will
mark my words: When labor demands
more money, it is pushing the nation
~ l. TIL i,,+1 ohon
of initiation. And the first to suffer
from this folly will be the misguided
workers themselves. If labor would
only give heed to the counsels Of our
business leaders and economists, the
catastrophe could be averted"
"In a word, father, you are OPP
posed"
Absolutely and unequivocably In
times like these, Luther, everybody |
must pull in his belt and make sacri- |
fices for the nations welfare"
Everybody"
Eyes, everybody, and mean labor"
well, 1 see by the papers that the
governors Of the New York Stock Ex-
change have decided to go ahead with |
a plan to increase commissions for
stock brokers by $50 and more. What
do you think of that?"
"Since 1 am not one Of the gov
errors Of the exchange, Luther, l am
not prepared to discuss the factors
that have made this adjustment nee
essary"
Il should think, father, that in your
position you would be even better
qualified to discuss the brokers' wage
increase than if you were governor"
Il don't understand you, Luther"
We'll, what l notice is that the
people who consider themselves most
qualified to criticize labor are those
who don't belong to unions. So why
don't you go ahead and denounce the ;
Stock Exchange for doing what it
says nobody should do?"
Luther! Have you finished your
homework

The First Lady, Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt, also is slated to testify FOL
/ the bill.
| Recent votes in congress Of the
southern poll-tax states on social leg
islation have alarmed labor and lib
erals to the dangers presented by the
poll tax. Labor was able to muster
only four votes in these states against
| the vicious Smith anti-labor bill that
passed the house a few months ago
while sc poll-tax congressman sup
ported that measure.
A real fight to put over the Pepper
bill has been organized, which seems
to have some of these reactionaries
worried. A newspaper, 1.-THE Poll Tax
Repeater" is being published to aid
in the fight, of which the first issue
appeared last week. The paper is
well-edited, and it's makeup good.
1.-THE Poll Tax Repeater" in this
issue takes healthy swat at Senator
Byrd, Virginia, who wants Farm Sc
curity abolished because that fine
agency includes payment. of the poll
tax in underwriting funds for rehabil-
itated farmers. 1t points out that
Byrd in 1910 was sent to the senate
by vote of 16 percent of the cleo
torate of his state, which makes it
understandable why he does not want
rehabiliatted farmers to go to the
polls on election day.
Hitler Likes 'em
A friend of we'll known Washing

Eagles Present
Generator to City

The Newark lodge of Eagles
presented a motor driven gener-
ator to the city of Newark,
through Major Charles w. Mont
gomery, Licking county coordin-
ator for civilian defense. Pur-
pose of the generator is for a
power unit for short-wave radio
should other power fail. 1t
would prove vital in keeping up
communications between police
and sheriff in case of disaster.
Sheriff VIM. McElroy asked
the lodge for the gift some
months ago, at that time little
realizing what an important
move it might be.
The lodge also approved pur-
chase of $4,000 in government
defense bonds at their Tuesday

laugh in the hard fought Lancas-

team mate he could see. The
team mate was little Jimmy
Cooper who was lying flat on
his back near the side Of the
floor. The play worked how
ever Newark, with Karl
Seesholtz and Dee Smelling lead

lead in the first and second
quarters at Cambridge last
Tuesday night and then managed
to hold off a thrilling rally in
the third and fourth quarters
by the veteran Brownies to win
their third straight conference
game, 1892. 1t was a great ball
game all the way and only the
cramped condition of Mcmahon
gym spoiled the show at all
Seesholtz, Cooper and Mum
kachy played the entire game.
Bill Gorsuch relieved Lawrence
in the last few seconds of the
great battle. The veteran Bob

in the place Of Dee Smelling.
