POLITICAL OUTLOOK WAITS WINS MEDAL; UTAH GETS CREDIT (Continued from Page 2) ued advancement of educational standards throughout the schools of our fair state. Women and Children We deplore the practice of a few employers who take advantage of women and children and other employes by paying unreasonably low wages, and we point with pride to the. minimum wage law enacted by our Democratic state legislature of 1933. This law, however, has become ineffective because of a recent ruling of the supreme court of the United States which held, in effect, that a state law which prescribes a minimum wage for adult women is repugnant to the constitution of the United States, and which leaves in doubt the right of a state to enact a minimum wage law for children.

Mining We recognize the importance of mining in this state. We believe that through sympathetic cooperation with mine owners and operators a fair distribution of the wealth of the mines can be secured. This entails fair wages and proper working conditions for mine labor and fair taxes to the state. Industry and Business We are aware that business and industry desire as much freedom as possible from governmental interference and taxation. We are sympathetic with this attiude to the extent that business, industry, g and all other are to groups cooperate in willing the establishment of a prcper standard of living for their employes, and the solution of the problem of unemployment in the wealth-producin- . state. We do not subscribe to the idea that business and industry desire to escape their duty in this respect, but we do solicit a broad, social point of view, and cooperation in these matters, in order that the GREETINGS TO LABOR The above picture gives further proof that good times are here, especially in Utah, as J. A. Watts of Logan, left, in picture, competing with more than 135 other salesmen, won the national medal for showing the largest increase in sales of the H. D. Lee Mercantile company, union clothing manufacturer. L. C. Staples, president of the Lee company, is making the presentation. Mr. Watts was a Salt Lake City visitor Saturday.

We submit that reduction of taxes by the Democratic administration is evident that there is no desire to unduly burden the tax payers of the state, including business and industry, and, therefore, pledge ourselves to a progressive program that will aid industry and business. State Prison We pledge ourselves to a program contemplating the removal of the penitentiary to such place or places and in such units as will make possible an intelligent, scientific, humane segregation of prisoners for their possible rehabilitation and restoration to honorable citizenship.

Organizers in the heavily-industrializ- Chicago-Calum- et ed area re- ported immediately after election a notable spurt in the number of applications to join the Amalgamated Assn, of Iron, Steel & Tin Workers. Steel workers, watching the deluge of Landon propaganda from the mill bosses, had said cautiously, Wait till after election. Heavy Roosevelt majorities in the steel centers, many of which had previously been Republican, changed that attitude. Big gains have been reported for the union in such towns as Indiana Harbor and Gary, Ind., where previously organizing work had been product and, therefore, pledge ourselves to the enactment of adelegislation quate milk control which will insure to the producer a fair proportion of the resale price of' his product, and also protect the slow. - MISTER UNION MAN CHEVROLET OWNERS Make It a Happy Christinas 1937 24-IIo- ur 24-IIo- ur Service Day & Night Towing Service Service Day & Night All Makes of Cars All Models and Styles on Display STREATOR-SMIT- H, Inc. makes We are official inspection station No. 6 for all of cars Service entrance around the corner on 5th South WE GET YOU OUT QUICKLY AND DO THE JOB RIGHT SOOTH MAIN Was a (Th 2693 y WE EXTEND BEST WISHES TO LABOR FOR A jtecp Christmas There is no substitute for Burned Clay Building Materials Interstate Brick Company 3180 So. 1 1th East.
