Ladies' Handbag, Luggage, Belt and
Novelty Workers Union scored a great
victory in Kansas City, Mo-, when the
Luce Trunk Company, one of the larg
est luggage firms in the country, en-
ploying about 400 workers, signed a
closed shop union contract with Local
No. &c of the international union after

for two years, one weeks vacation
with pay, and arbitration of all dis
putes.

A. F. OF L. CONVENTION

The American Federation of Labor
meets in sixty-second annual conven-
tion on October 5 at Toronto. The
convention, first since Americas en-
trance into the war, promises to be
one of the most important ever held.
Big problems and issues, affecting
the nation and the world, will confront
the delegates. Wage freezing, labor
draft and other proposed wartime
controls will be discussed and acted
upon. After-war aims and policies
will be considered. That the fedora
tion will act wisely on these vital mat
ters is foregone conclusion. It's past
record proves this.
Union members who closely follow
the proceedings of the convention will
gain a better knowledge of the aims
and policies of the labor movement
and so be better equipped to serve
and champion its interests.

$4,000 Refuse Old-Age
Payment To Stay On Job

Washington, d. C. (ILNS). - OF
1926, 900 men over 65, now eligible for
old-age insurance benefits under the
Federal Security Act, 585,000 have
deferred acceptance of the pensions to
remain on their jobs, the Social Sc
curity Board announces.
Thus, it was pointed out, they had
made easier the job of building a great
Army, for if they did not work, thou
sands of young men of military age
would have to be deferred from the
armed services to hold down the jobs
Moreover, $4,000 who had retired
before Pearl Harbor have dropped off
the pension rolls and have gone back
to work. They are eligible for bene-
fits again when they are no longer
employed.

|DEHYDRATOR SHOWN
TO FARMERS AT FAIR

An exhibit that is attracting consid-
cradle interest at the Butler County
Fair this week is an electrical fruit
and vegetable dehydrator designed
and constructed through the Rural
Identification Admins ira tion and
Howard Keller, vocational educational
teacher at Ross Township School.
Although the drier is not suitable
for commercial construction, under
present conditions it will enable farm
ers to preserve their own fruits and
vegetables, preventing the waste of
produce and reducing to minimum
the use of tin, zinc, and rubber needed
for canning.
This exhibit is being sponsored by
all agricultural agencies, including
the Butler Rural Electric Co-opera-
tive, Women's Home Council of the
Extension Service, Farm Security Ad-
ministration, Vocational Home Eco
nomics, and Agriculture Departments.

CASE FOR LABOR DRAFT
IMPROVED

Members of the House Committee
on Defense Migration have taken a
heartening stand against any draft of
labor, as proposed by Paul " McNutt
and others, including, apparently, the
Army and Navy. After an investiga-
tion, the committee members remain
unconvinced that there is any need for
compulsory placing of workers at the
present time.
That the case for labor draft has
not been proved, is the consensus of
opinion of the members, numbering
FIVE and headed by Rep. John H. Tolan
of California, a man whose progress
siveness and devotion to democratic
principles has been demonstrated
Labor agrees with the committee.
1t believes the voluntary system of
plciIIiS laOOI nv OCSli Iully IlISQs
This is the testimony of Wendell
Lund, head of the Labor Production
Division of the War Production Board.
Labor would support a compulsory
system only if the voluntary system
was shown to be failure.
Now, labor suspects advocates of a
labor draft of leaning toward totali-
tartan methods. 1t wants democratic
methods given a fair test first, be-
lieving, with William Green, that
"only by relying upon cooperation in
stead of compulsion can we bring into
play the human, spiritual and moral
resources of the entire nation, leaving
no fertile ground for subversive prop
aganda, unrest and revolt"

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

shake the Wilhelmstrasse's conviction
that Bolshevism has been able to es-
tablish new bases in Sweden and tries
to consolidate them by all MEANS" the
Nazi broadcast added
The Nazis have long been very crit
ical of Sweden, resenting its firm de-
termination to maintain neutrality, its
sympathy with the peoples of the con-
quered nations, and its plainly ex-
pressed detestation of totalitarian re-
gimes and policies.
Berlin, of course, knows perfectly
well that Sweden has no sympathy
whatever with Bolshevism (Commu-
nism) and would resist it as bitterly
as it would any other form of to-
talitarianism.
Swedish opposition to totalitarian-
ism has been made known again and
again. Typical of the nations view
point was an address by Osten linden,
distinguished Chancellor of the Swe-
dish Universities, who drew a con-
trast between the democratic order in
the Scandinavian countries and the
political systems of Fascism, Nazism
and Communism
"Isms," said linden, create super
chiefs" who do not allow citizens their
civic rights, and who "reintroduce
barbaric tortures in their prisons and
concentration camps
The Nazi denunciation of Sweden is
pure hypocrisy, being based on Swe-
dish opposition to Nazism and not or
any danger of Communism in the
northern nation.

THIS column commented in August
j on Sweden's preparations for gen
eral municipal elections, pointing out
that the Swedes, though facing great
dangers from without, were conduct
ing political campaign based largely
on domestic issues.
The Swedes, it was emphasized,
while bending all efforts to strengthen
their defenses, were discussing mu-
nicipal taxation, building of hospitals
and similar apparent trivia" to quote
a leading Swedish editor, who further
said
"Our house has been fortified. 1t is
not matter of Indifference to us how
it looks inside"
The elections, held September 20,
resulted in the loss by the Swedish
Nazis of their only five seats. The
dominant Social Democratic party lost
"a seats but still retains it's over
whelming majority with total of S29.
The Farmers won 36 seats, while the
Communists won 80, gain of II.
The Communist gain, though insig-
nifcant, stirred Berlin's wrath and
Nazi propagandists aimed new sharp
attacks on Sweden. A Berlin radio
broadcast recorded in New York de-
clared Communist activities in Sweden
would "have to be carefully watched
by European powers fighting against
the common Bolshevist enemy"
"Not even attempts made by leading
conservative papers in Sweden to dis
guise this development were able te

LABOR HEADS ASK
PAY RAISE FOR ALL
POSTAL EMPLOYEES

Washington, ID. C. (ILNS).-A 10
per cent pay increase for postal work
ers was urged by President William
Green of the American Federation of
Labor and other labor chiefs before
the Senate Civil Service Committee,
which is considering bills to raise
wages of government employees.
President Green told the committee
that postal employees had worked at
the same wage since 1925.
"a 10 per cent increase is small in
comparison with the rise in living
COSTS" he pointed out.
Postal unions are urging a 10 per
cent increase in conjunction with a
measure to give federal employees
overtime compensation at the rate of
time and a half for hours in excess
of 40 weekly
Says U. S. Should Set Example
should be the ideal employer" in pay
ing its workers and set precedent
for private industry. Enactment of
the legislation, he added, would bring
degree of justice to public workers
and help them meet economic and So
cial conditions (which are calling for
help"
Mrs. Herman H. Lowe, president of
the American Federation of Women's
Auxiliaries of Labor, also urged a
pay boost for postal employees.
Citing statistics of the Department
of Labor, she asserted that even the
prices of haircuts had raised per
cent and postal employees, especially
at window work, were required to get
a haircut at least twice a month to
maintain that ''well-groomed appear
ance."
Other Prices Up
She also said the prices of movies,
beauty treatments, household furnish
ings and clothes had risen consider
ably, ''but a postal employees wife
knows she can get along without these
during the war"
Charles |. Stengle, representing the
American Federation of Government
Employees, also urged enactment of
both plans.

The first commercial harvester for
sugar beets is now in operation near
Bakersfield, Cal, in the San Joaquin

John Deere Plow Company, tops the
beets, pulls them out of the ground
and deposits them in windrows or in
trucks, thereby eliminating "stoop la
bor," long the bane of beet growers.

A relatively small corporation in
Detroit has won the Army Navy
Award for Excellence--the famous E,
coveted by all, but won by few.
This company is the Electromaster
Corporation
Normally the company made cleo
trio ranges and related products.
But scarcely had the defense pro-
gram got under way when its presi-
dent began looking to see how the
company could help Uncle Sam by
making things for the Army and Navy
1t figured close-so close that often
there was no profit at all But the
object was to help, not to see how
much profit could be piled up
The energetic president of this COM
pany is Richard Marshall Dick, to
hundreds of men and women.
He could look ahead and see that
things were changing, to stay changed
A small contract for a small item
came first. 1t was really trial order.
Since that day the company has
taken on an ever-increasing load of
war contracts. Since Pearl Harbor it
has thought only in terms Of war and
victory
The company had contract relations
with the International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers and while Wash
ington was talking about developing
employer-employe relations, this COM
pany had such relations with remark
ably good results.
There have been no stoppages of
work, nor any slow-downs.
Faster and faster the wheels have
turned, to make commodities to help
arm and equip the American armed
forces.
Here was company that was bound
to win the much coveted Army
Navy E.
And when it did win the famous
award, it was because of all of the
things that had been thought out and
done, for the sake of fast and right
priced production.
A great many small businesses have
cried in their beer and let it go at that.
They have whined and run to their
Congressman.
Electromaster probably never saw
a Congressman.
Production is not a political job.
The union in the plant proceeded
along the same lines. 1t didn't cry in
it's beer, either.
1t worked. 1t kept its agreement
1t didn't look for little tricks to play
nor for sharp corners to turn.
1t worked and kept on working.
Somehow it seems as if here might
be company to study.
One would gather that company
SO honored must turn out good things
and fast.
Nobody is just now looking for
credit to use after the war, but this
award cannot fail to be of value after
the war, when peace-time things are
made again.
There has been a great deal Of cry
ing in the beer-a great deal Of run

THE CITY LOAN
Stops Bill Collectors

Have you ever had bill troubles?
Our loan number 6 0795 has.
This man was working only part
time. His wife was a trained
nurse and had a chance to go to
work for a large insurance com
pany, providing her credit stand
ing was okay. Naturally, it
wasn't so good. Bill collectors
wanted their money. We made
the loan at once to help these
people settle up. The wife landed
her job and the husband is now
working full time. Many such
cases prove again and again how
small loan properly used can
do world of good.
