Advocate Temperance A three-lin- e head in large letters in the Deseret News, Utah Liquor Law Held Aid to Temperance, attracted the attention of many readers, who no doubt read the article, which said: "An appeal to teachers and parents to aid the cause of temperance by reporting infractions of Utah's rigid liquor control laws was made by Hugh B.

Basis-Dictat- (By A. F. of L. News Service) NEW YORK, N. Y. A strong defense of the organized labor movement as the upholder of democratic institutions and the foe of all dictatorships was made here by William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, in an address at the twelfth anniversary dinner of the New Leader. President Green discussed at length the question of organization policy and declared that both craft and industrial forms are applied by the American Federation of Labor. He cited numerous instances of the industrial form, beginning with the United Mine Workers of America, and emphasized the broad charter given to the Automobile Work-e- r Union, which he said has jurisdiction over 98 per cent of the workers in the automobile industry. Denouncing as utterly false the charge that the American Federation of Labor is responsible for the lack of organization of the workers, he held that the main reason for this condition is the persecution of employes by stead it was created by them and n employers who include for them.
