A LABOR DAY MESSAGE Official News By JOHN BROPIIY, WASHINGTON, D. C. From every section of the country state organizations of Labors League are reporting the most energetic action. Organization work is proceeding at a rate that amazes old time political leanot amaze labor der but that does officials who know the spirit and speed of labor. The tremendous drive of the League is toward the first objective, reelection of the President; and toward the second objective, permanent organization for permanent work in behalf of labors clear-cpolitical interests Enthusiasm for both objectives runs higher each week, as the message is carried along the line by Labors Non - Partisan League spokesmen. Labor is possessing itself of a political voice. Non-Partis- an ut President Roosevelt will carry Connecticut says Aldo Cursi, Connecticut state chairman of Labors League, in a report to Major George L. Berry, president of the League. Landon is disliked here, says Mr. Cursi. You can sense it everywhere; at the movies, in private conversations and in public gatherings, notwithstanding Republican propaganda, adds Chairman Cursi. The womens division of Labors League is well on the road towards organizations, Cursi stated in his report.

The resolution adopted August 18, reads in part, as follows: Now, therefore, be it resolved by the executive committee of Labors League of Kentucky, that Governor A. B. Chandler be requested to call for a special session of the legislature, and to include in his call consideration of a measure to end this disgrace to the fair name of our Commonwealth.

Circulation is the basis of both and if Hearst has found it necessary to foment wars in order to achieve his ends he has not hesitated to do that. Among men who have held high place in the Ilearst organization are such as these: Frank Knox, now vice presidential candidate; Max Annenberg, of the Annenberg family that owns the Racing Form, the General News Service with a monopoly on race track news which serves most of the nations pool rooms; Andy Lawrence who, along with Annenberg, taught Chicago how to really make war for circulation, giving Chicago journalism some really bloody battles, even before Capone , came into the picture to show them all how to really make war. Hearst Support A3 a matter of fact, the Landon candidacy was promoted, up to the nomination, by a crowd of about ten newspaper owners and editors who form about the most reactionary group in the whole publishing business; and of these Hearst was the biggest. Henry J. Allen and two of William Allen White were , at the crowd. These by way times, as forward-lookinof taking off some of the curse. But they are really as reactionary as the rest. This newspaper group remains at the heart of the picture, although the Republican press falls into line gleefully, being in the position of espousing anything to beat Roosevelt.

The trade union movement can rightfully be proud of its tremendous contribution to the building of our nation, and to the fostering of the ideals of freedom and democracy. Now, confident of its power, organized labor must carry on its glorious tradition by new advances throughout the country. But to advance, we must increase our membership. This coming year must see millions of new workers brought into unions. Every man and woman who works for wages should be part of our great movement that is seeking a better life for all. On our shoulders rests the task of ending unemployment missioner is a former state federation president who saw labor as a ladder to power. His job is poorly paid and his job is poorly done. Civil service doesnt exist. There is a good law on the books, but every last job is a political spoils job. The law is dead as a mackerel. Landon has preached civil service in national affairs, but he has regarded every job as a plum in Kansas. The school story has been told many times. Kansas school teachers are paid an average of $37.70 a month. Many schools are empty. Some 900 teachers have no jobs at all. To get the average of $37.70, some teachers are paid as low as $25 a month a month, not a week. State aid is lowest of all the 48 states. While the governor prattles about academic freedom he allows Kansas teachers to be bound by the most hideous bonds of all the bonds of starvation and unemployment.
