Popular Vote Election
I0f Presidents Gains
Support in South
BY the Associated Press

Southern Democratic support ap-
peared today for a move by Senator
Lodge, Republican, of Massachusetts,
to put presidential elections on a
popular vote basis.
Senators Sparkman, Democrat, of
Alabama, and Johnston, Democrat,
of South Carolina told a reporter in
separate interviews they will back in
the next session of Congress a pro-
posal to change the present system
by which a States entire electoral
college vote is cast for the candidate
who tops the popular ballot test.
Senator Lodge offered in the last
session and intends to revive a pro-
posed constitutional amendment I'M
der which each candidate would
share in the electoral vote on the
percentage of his election day total.
Thus an aspirant who cost out by
only a few popular votes to his presi-
Dental opponent would geat nearly
half Of the States support in the
electoral college, instead of none at
all.
Deplores Minority Influences.
Senator Sparkman said he thinks
Southern Democrats generally will
support the proposal because it
would "go long way toward doing
away with minority rule in this
country"
There are some minorities in
Northern States who get just about
anything they want out of the politi-
cal parties because the parties fear
they may have the balance of power
in State with a lot Of electoral
votes" the Alabama Senator said.
He added that he believed change
such as suggested by Senator Lodge
would have good effect in the
South"
ut would encourage both parties
to campaign in the South, because

STEEL TRUST ACCEPTS
BITUMINOUS CONTRACT

Washington (LPA)-With Judge

his role of injunction merchant fol
that of arbitrator, the steel trust
yielded this week and accepted the
national bituminous contract with
the United Mine Workers that COM
mercial coal producers signed last

The UNIV victory brings all soft

guise of trade unionists, while al
the same time taking advantage
of an anti-labor measure on the
statute books and bringing disgrace
upon the organization to gain their
objective.
AS one example to the trade OF
how far some individuals will GO
and to what depths they will stoop
to gain their objective, Local Union
184 recently received a copy of
the East Liverpool Review in
which was printed in bold head
lines, "restrainer asked to prevent
the union from paying excessive
and illegal salaries to our Off
cials."
The word illegal strikes us rath-
er funny here in Trenton. Are we
to take such coinage of phraseology
as denouncing the action of the
delegates to the 1914 convention in
raising the salaries of our nation
al official; as illegal.
Does not section 3 of our consti-
tuition give delegates seated in con-
|vention power and authority to
make or repeal any laws deemed
necessary? It also gives the conven-
tion power to tax the members for
the maintenance of the organiza-
tion.
Our delegate upon mis- return
from the 1914 convention made his
report of what transpired. We were
duly informed of the action taken
by the delegates and | again reiter-
ate, we were heartily in accord with
such action.
The party or parties responsible
for sending such misleading litera-
ture into our midst we do not know.
But if l may through the columns
of the Herald be permitted to an
nounce, the membership as whole
of Local Union 184 does not wish
to receive such propaganda. We are
content to have our delegates at
convention vote their mind on is
sues at hand. We do not send them
with their hands tied and afraid
to voice their opinion on issues at
hand, whether by voice or ballot.
And by the same token we do not
intend to sit by and have them
branded as seeking to undermine

All Unions Urged To Aid
Fight For TIL Repeal

Rochester, n. Y. (ILNS)-A call
to every local union and every state
council to wage its share of the
battle for repeal of the Taft-Hart-
ley labor law was sounded here by
Edward F. Dillon of New York
City, president of the State Allied
Printing Trades Council.
Addressing the state gathering
of the council, he said:
Neither the American Fedora
tion of Labor nor the New York
State Federation of Labor can alone
defeat labor's enemies. Every local
union and every state council must
be mobilized to wage its share of
the battle. The fight for labor free
dom will be decided street by street,
city by city, and state by state"

Names Delegates
To State Meeting

The members of Local No. 124
evidently do not enjoy the hot
weather we have been having, at
least not to the extent of Drawing
the heat to attend their local meet
ings. Only a fair turnout was on
hand Tuesday evening which re-
minds US to warn all members that
when the attendance drops, that
is the time disputes generally
arise.
Sister Margaret Curley, chair
man of the auditing committee
made report of finding the funds
of the local solvent and recon-
mended a vote of thanks be ex-
tended the officers for the ex-
'cellent manner in which they found
the books.
Several communications were
read by the secretary and the pro-
per action ordered taken.
Third vice president James Sla-
ven attended the meeting and was
called upon for advice on several
issues discussed on the floor. AS
usual, Jim came through in fine
fashion with helpful hints to han
die matters in accordance with
laws and regulations of the
agreement.
Bros. Clair Armstrong and Nor
man Whippler were named dele
gates to the West Virginia State
Federation of Labor with Harold
West being chosen as alternate.
The state body has been doing a
fine job and we hope they will
continue to do so. Especially do we
feel they have made great strides
in promoting laws to offer relief
for those suffering from silicosis.
The meeting adjourned following

term.-O. c. 124.

voiding its union shop provisions
if the NLRB eventually finds them
illegal.
The UNIV has not filed nom
Communist affidavits with the MI
RIB as prescribed by the Taft Hart
ley law as a condition for the ne
gotiation of union shop contract.
When Goldsborough announced
the settlement which he had help
ed work out with UNIV President
John L. Lewis and steel companies
representatives, he said that he ex-
pected NLRB General Counsel Rob-
ert N. Denham's request for an
anti-strike injunction against the
Captive miners" would be dismiss
ed without trial.
Denham was noncommital, but
there is no doubt that he'll press be-
fore NLRB, if not in the courts,
the steel companies objections to
the union shop contract clause.

of every delegate of this past con-
vention, to prevail upon our own
local membership to vindicate the
good name of the N. B. o. P. and
to prove to the public that the
delegates to the 1914 convention
and each of the 3 succeeding con-
ventions, that our intentions and
purposes were honest and sincere
and that we are, and have been,
able to progress in spite of tenn
porary interferences. The trade in
general can be well reminded that
in every instance where we passed
new laws or amended and strength
ened old ones, the vote was unani-
nous. There was unity of purpose
among these delegates and Off
GERS.
The greatest latitude was given
each delegate in discussing these
propositions and the time limit
specified by the rules committee
of 5 minutes was completely ig-
nored. The purpose and intent of
these propositions were quickly
agreed upon, the remarks were pr
marily to change word here and
there to clarity their meaning.
