Tabulating the reports conservatively and giving every possible doubt in the anticipated totals to the Republican candidate your Observer predicts the reelection of Senator Thomas by over 34,000 majority. Of course, you never can tell. Anything can happen in elections. But basing the calculations on the accuracy of past election reports of our observers we are anxiously awaiting complete official returns following Tuesday's election to see how, near they hit the mark in 1038. CONGRESSMAN ROBINSON IS EXPECTED TO WIN REELECTION BY 30,000 Tabulation of the reports of observers from the four counties comprising the second congressional district indicates that J. W. Robinson, incumbent, is expected to win hands down. It is apparent that he will receive a majority in all of the counties. Even in Davis, which is the only doubtful county in the district, the Congressman is looked upon as likely to come out of the county with a majority well over the 500 mark. The Congressman is expected to leave Salt Lake county with 25,000 votes to spare. His home hounty, Utah, may give him a 4000 vote edge.

Labor has under the New Deal received official recognition as a powerful factor in our national life. It has been universally recognized as the needed balance wheel in qur system and a powerful lever for promoting economic and industrial reforms. The situation in Utah is even more, important to labor of the state than is the national situation. We cannot take a chance on an unknown quantity, if the strides made by our cause during the past few years are to be extended into still greater triumphs for the people. n eco-om- ic - We are vitally interested in this election.

It would give Labor itself a greater pride in the cause to which it is committed, because it will see that theres more in the labor movement than merely fighting for higher wages and shorter hours it includes the whole realm of human relationships, the fundamental principles of economics, its relationship to the political life of the nation, and what must be its concern in international affairs. It would have an outreach which would affect the interests of every citizen, no matter what his occupation may be. Labor in the past has opinion. It would give a broader outlook rendered many notable services in on the problems of Labor to the building up the life of the nation, leaders in Industry. lit never had a better chance in It would inform those who are this direction than it has today. The answer will be an overwhelming the hated stooge. LABOR ON ITS for such bitter controversy. Well whose interest is it that this subject should be intelligently and persistently presented? No one should be more concerned about educating all classes of people about Labor than Labor itself. And no one suffers more because of this common ignorance about Labor The responsibility than Labor. therefore rests with Labor. The way to begin a campaign of education about Labor is to educate the workers themselves. The fine work which has been done for many years by the Workers' Education Bureau of the A. F, L. has accomplished much in this direction. And recently the C. I. O. has introduced its own agency for this purpose. The labor press is an important factor in this connection. But the labor papers of the country should be more heartily supported by the workers. This agency could easily be made the most influential force in existence if it were given adequate support. Millions of dollars are spent each year by Organized Labor for perfectly legitimate purposes. It would be a good investment if a large part of this fund should be used for a wider and more comprehensive campaign to educate the whole people regarding the labor situation, including all the elements which enter into it. No one else is going to do it excepting those forces which are within the Labor movement. Such a campaign, if adequately set up and carried on with vigor, would have the following results: It would widen the knowledge of the membership of Organized Labor regarding those matters which concern it most vitally. It would win the respect and serious attention of the public. It would enlighten those who are the recognized molders of public 3 Page 5 Non-Partis- an E. M. ROYLE, President J. D.
