Farley Steals a March
On Roosevelt NY.
by PAUL -MALLoN

HfASHNGT0N-. -Attg go The
W semblanee of A suppressed
smile fiickered on the face Of
James A. Farley in pictures of
the New York state committee
meeting and not without rea-
son.
The story told the-public was
that President Roosevelt 5 ennis
Sary. National Chairman Frank
Walker, hurried up TO New
York and arranged the nominal
tion of 1t. Gen. Haskell Of the
national guard for the special
lieutenant governorShip election.
The implication was that
FDR had made the choice and
people here wondered why Far
ley would so docilely accept it,
and lead the way for il, in view
OF the fact that the election IS
being built up as test on the
fourth term and every one
knows how Mr.. Farley has felt
about that
MR.. FARLEY had reason TO
WI be docile. He Slyly slipped
around TO the American Labor
Party leaders and arranged
their endorsement OF Haskell,
even before Walker arrived IN
New York
BY the time Walker got on
the scene. the bird was not only
caught by Mr.. Farley but
cooked and eaten Haskell be-
came Farley's candidate more
than Roosevelt's.
The race is supposed TO be
test of the pulling power of
Gov Dewey, current leading Re-
publican candidate, against Mr..
Roosevelt in his home state, but
Dewey did not make the choice
of the Republican candidate
either
The Republican nominee Ma
iority Leader Hanley of The
state Senate. was naturally
wholly acceptable to Dewey and
no differences lie between them
Yet the Republican situation
was such that the governor,
whose presidential fortunes are
directly involved, was not free

Carey pointed out that West
brook Pegler has consistently ig-
nored the recent scandal of the
Anaconda Wire and Cable Com
pany where officials of that firm
were convicted of selling faulty
communications equipment to the
u. S. government
The article by James 3. Carey
is well worth reading, for the
article explains how Pegler care

the toes of Big Business, and de-
votes his time to castigating labor.

For Judge.

The greatness of our country
finds its origin and being in in
dividual rights. We are engaged
in a worldwide conflict to pre-
serve and protect such rights.
Undoubtedly the most important
one we possess is the right to
vote and select our own public
officials. It is foolish TO fight for,
or have such a right, if we fail
to use it.
Determine now to use your
right on Tuesday, November 2,
when the people Of this city are to
express their choice for one of its
most important positions, Chief
Justice of the Municipal Court
generally known as police court).
For the past seven years Mer-
rit E. Schlafman has served as
your judge. During that time he
has disposed of seventy-five thou
sand cases. He has established an
excellent record of fairness, has
improved the court room and the
efficiency of the court so that to-
day it is a real credit to the COM
munity. BY his decisions he has
shown an excellent understanding
of the law and a deep apprecia-
ton of the rights of the individual,
and he brings to the law an UNI
derstanding of its social problems
as well as the legal ones"
The judge has always been &C
tive in the affairs of his COM
munity in order to better under
stand and know his people, and
render service to them. He was
born in Dayton 40 years ago, is
married, and lives with his wife
at IS Plumwood Road. From a
family of working folks, who later
went into business, the Judge at
an early age sold newspapers and
then assisted in the business in
order to earn and obtain an edu-
cation. He graduated from the
Dayton Public Schools, and Ohio
State University, ABB, LIB. He
is proud of his home town which
has been so kind to him and has
always endeavored to repay it's
kindness by operating the court
efficiently and render fair, honest,
impartial justice in every case.

U[B Grants
Increase FOR
WOmen at Leland,

The granting of the WLB ap-
peal for an increase in the wom-
ent's rates at Leland Electric, UE
Local SO4 was recently announced
in a Joint notice issued by UE
Local 8O4 and the management.
These increases were granted after
a previous appeal had been de-
MED, and were later approved
because of a breakdown of CLASH
fication of skills. The form was
submitted to the WLB at Cleve-
land as a consent plea. The union
and the management made a joint
plea to the WLB for approval.
The approval OF the women's
rate increase was retroactive to
April Is, 1913, the date of the
submission of the original plea.
On Sept. 28, the management
agreed to a consent submission of
an appeal for adjustment for all
rates under the Is per cent form
ula, and after preparation, an oral
appeal was made jointly by the
president of UE Local 8O4, Ralph
w. Cherry, and the representative
of management, MIR. Fl. Curtis on
Saturday, Oct 2 in Cleveland.
The oral presentation was made
with considerable force and a de-
cision is expected in the next few
weeks.
Chief Steward Hutcheson made
his report on his stewardship
which was approved by the mem
bership of Local SO4 at the meet
ing of Oct. 6.
The legislative committee chair
man, Sidney Dunford, reported a
general improvement in the re-
sponse of the membership in the
political activity. He also reported
that the party held at Frankie's
Forest Park was a big success.
The chairman of the entertain
ment committee for the legislative
group, Sister Thelma Freiberger,
deserves much of the credit for
the success of the party, and
stated that another party would
be held shortly.
AS everyone at Leland knows, /
the bond drive was a Four-Star
success. Too much praise cannot
be given to the stewards for the
way they put the bond drive over.
Gene Finch, steward of Dept. II,
made a perfect record with 100
per cent participation by every
worker in his department. Bro.
Finch declared that the support of
the membership in his department
was wonderful.
Russell Berger, of the tool room,
also turned in a brilliant report as
a super bond salesman with a
total of $5,825.OO.
The executive board of Local
804, wishes to congratulate the
membership of Local 804 on their
magnificent response to the bond
drive.
