In a recent speech in the house of representatives, he gave some concise reasons why congress should not adjourn without action on this peace time ban on armament exports. His six points impressed us with their soundness, and we are summarizing them and printing them here: I. Exports of arms in the last 12 months have doubled. 2.

In fact I have on several occa sions made precisely the same appeal to the rank and file members of the American Federation of Labor.

"It is my firm conviction that the vote should be taken as quickly as possible on all the questions submitted and that they be expressed in such a clear way that there can be no possible confusion. Moreover, in order that there should be no possibility of criticism as to the validity of the vote, I think that our new members from the business without invoking the neutrality act, which, if invoked, might lead office, advertising and circulation departments should not vote. makin somethin real ou of a?

Out of 80 elections, 66 were won by labor unions all but a very few of which were C. I. O. unions. The majorities for the C. I. O. were overwhelming in most cases, as for instance: Pittsburgh Steel Co., 5297 for the C. I. O., 645 against? Wagner Electric Co., St. Louis, 1800 for NEWS and COMMENT C. I.
