Americans have become accus-

step on the gas and keep driving
until the family took pity or the car

be quite an experience for the av-
erage man to realize that even his

THE ELECTION-Many people
are saying that they were surprised
by the political thinking of the
people, as shown by the election.
There are, and will be, many ex-
plantations about the meaning Of the
election. II will be well for us to
look at the election in terms of the
Democratic administration.
Democrats win say that the
working people did not vote as they
should have. This can be said for
all voters, if workers were busy
producing the means Of war, other
people were busy aiding in a
thousand other ways the war pro-
gram. het it also be remembered
that more than fifty per cent of the
-egistercd vote throughout the
country, was cast. Therefore.
there is little BASIS for anyone be
llev.ng that had the workers vote,
.hu ratio Of Democratic to Repub
lean votes would have been any
In fact there is every
reason 10 believe that the present
ratio would still hold even if a
hundred per cent OF the vote had
been cast Anybody who deals
with election returns can predict
'he trend, in a given election,
lIter twenty-five per cent of the
ycSeAts in. Therefore, it is safe
ass SmA that the fifty per cent NJ the
national vote represented the think.

lowing the revelation that the gov.
ernor Of South Carolina had issued
orders for the arrest of labor agents
operating in that state without IL
cense including federal employees"
interesting material on the same
point was sent from one of the
workers interested in this field.
"Of particular interest to en-
ployment service personnel" the
document begins. ARE the emf
grant agent laws which are found
in the statutes OF many southern
states. These include Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, North
Carolina. South Carolina, Tennes-
see, Texas, Virginia and West Vir-
g.nia. This type of legislation was
incorporated in the Alabama code
Of 1907 The purpose of such laws
is 10 prevent outside competition
for labor by preventing the opera
ton of emigrant agents who solicit
laborers for transportation TO other
states. These laws effectively curb
the operations Of private agents
who solicit Labor within the state
for employment outside the state
by imposing prohibitive licensing
and bonding fees and regulating
the manner in which such business
may be carried on.
Bar Employment of Negroes
"The emigrant agent law OF
Georgia is fairly representative of
this type of legislation. This law
requires an annual license fee Of
81 1000 for each county in which an
emigrant agent or employe may do
or offer 10 do business The appli-
cation for a license must be en-
dorsed by two taxpayers and ac-
companied by a bond of $1,000 for
