MINORS WILL
 KEEP BONUS
 FOR YEAR

BALTIMORE, Dec. 8-tR-As the minor leagues went into their big gest session of the convention to- day it appeared virtually certain that the sonus rule would be re- tained-at least for another year.
 While the repeal of the contro- vers.al rule, sponsored by the In t,ianarolis club Of the American Association, is supported by the higher minor leagues, majority of the smaller ones are against it, it was learned.
 A three-quarter vote is necessary for repeal, and it looks very much like the Indianapolis club and it's followers will fall short of their nark. That means it would take the votes of only l5 of the 5o leagues to defeat the proposal.
 Although the clubs. were under strict orders from the executive council not to divulge their stand before the official vote today, 1t has leaked out that the big three of the minors-the Pacific Coast League, International League and American Association-have voted ill favor of repeal

The editor of the Toledo Times has taken
exception to my mailing this letter under the
franking privileges afforded all Congressman,
on the grounds that it is political propaganda,
a campaign device.
Well, l suppose any service Congressman
renders his constituents might be construed to
be for political purposes and the editor is split
ting very fine hair in this instance
Actually, l have intended the letter as
service and an accounting to my constituents
Ideally, / should write each one personal
letter but that being impossible, have en-
ployed the multigraphed letter sending it to
individuals and organizations through which
/ hope ii will have the widest possible dis
tribution. 1t goes TO political friends and en-
emieS alike. Even those who oppose my points
of view have expressed appreciation for this
service. The letter goes to both the Blade and
the Times, but can assure you that in send
ing it, the thought of winning the endorse
ment of these papers has never crossed my
mind.
l have tried to write the letter, not as "Mr
Burke the reporter. writing to the voters of
the Ninth District about Mr. Burke, the men,
ber of the House of Representatives" but as
the steward, giving an account of his steward
ship. The many requests to be placed on the
mailing list which have received, indicate to
me that it is wanted service. l believe re-
porting to my constituents to be among my
official duties. I do not believe that it is an
abuse Of the franking privilege.

effort on those candidates who best de-

members.
Will Fight To Retain
Straight Party Ballot
Turning its attention to statewide
political issues, the ULC declared itself
in complete opposition to those who ad-
vocate the abolition of the straight party
system of election.
It is well known that the people who
are presently occupying themselves with
the campaigning of trying to abolish the
system of straight party balloting are the
people who will attempt to move heaven
and earth in their effort to re-elect Taft
to the US. Senate. They want to introduce
the so-called Massachusetts" type of
balloting wherein each voter is required
to cast a seperate vote for the many candl-
dates in our elections. These people hope
that by this method they can re-elect Mr..
Taft since they fear that in a regular
straight party elction this could not be
accomplished.
The ULC feels that this is simply
method to confuse the voters and so insure
the reelection of their candidate The ULC
is of the opinion that this confusion should
be avoided and that can best be accom-
plished by retaining the type of elections
that the electorate of Ohio are familiar
with and, therefore, urged all its support
ers to oppose the proposed change.
Labor To March In Solid
Ranks On Labor Day
The decision of ULC to greet and well
come the already announced plans of both
the AFL Central Labor Union and the
CIO Toledo Industrial Union Council to
march in solid ranks on Labor Day was
a fitting climax to it's labors. In every one
of it's actions; in every one of its many
declarations the ULC made it plain that
it desires to bring about the greatest possi-
BILE harmony and unity between the vari-
Gus segmefts of Organized Labor in our
community.
march TOGETHER AND IN SOLID
RANKS on Labor Day-will certainly en-
hance this aim Surely it will be an inspir-
ing sight to watch the thousands of AFL
and CIO workers who will line up for the
grand parade in one single line of march.
Such demonstration will serve notice on
those who are oppose to Organized
Labor's just demands and aspirations that
they will have a powerful force to con-
tend with.
Such a demonstration of UNITY will
inspire the union members themselves for
they will see in action how powerful they
are when they are all united for COM
mon goal
All in all, the program of the ULC is
a grand program; and it is program con-
ceived and dedicated to the interests and
welfare not only of the working people of
our community, state and country, but to
the interests of all those who are striving
for the creation of happier land for all
of us.
1t is program worthy of your whole
hearted support.
