In administering the oath of office, Justice of the Supreme Court Stanley Reed used an old Murphy family Bible, which carried the inscription: To dear Frank from Mama on the day he graduated (from grammar school), June 26, 1908. The text used in the ceremony consisted of the fourth and fifth verses, chapter 11, of the Book of Isaiah. It reads: But He shall judge the poor with justice and shall reprove with equity for the meek of the earth. And justice shall be the girdle of His loins, and faith the girdle of His reins. Mr. Murphy is a New Deal Democrat and has the love and respect of members of all branches of organized labor. His confirmation by the Senate is assured.

Winning Answer An enterprising Florida newspaper offered a years subscription for the best answer to this question: Why is a woman like a newspaper? Here are some of the answers: Because you cant believe any thing they say. Because they are thinner now than they used to be. Because they are easy to read. Because they are well worth looking over. Because back numbers are not usually worth what they cost. Because they always have the MAKING ENDS MEET...

At Sacramento, California, last week representatives of 35 unions with 200 delegates met and formed The a United Labor Council. unions represented are from the A. F. L., the C. I. O., the Railway Brotherhoods and the Workers Al- liance. Glenn Warren, representing the Building Service Employes union, A. F. L., was elected president, with Charles Ilingman, Warehousemens union, C. I. O., first vice president; John T. Dudley, Switchmens union, Railway Brotherhood, second vice president, and Ed Thomilson, Workers Alliance, third vice president. . Vote Unanimously Kirt MacBride of the Sacramento Valley Newspaper Guild, C. I. 0., was elected secretary. A resolution creating the council was adopted unanimously by the 200 accredited union representa- tives. Pursuant to President Roosexpressed desire for peace evelts in the labor movement, the resolution said, this meeting has been called by the rank and file of labor for the purpose of making a united effort to comply with this request. In the resolution creating the council it was resolved that in all future labor disputes with employers in this district by bona fide labor organizations the united strength of this group will be given to the union involved. The resolution also resolved That this body make a united drive to organize the more than 75 per cent of workers who are , unorganized today. A proposal to send copies of the action creating the council to William M. Green, A. F. L. president, and John L. Lewis, C. I. 0. president, was voted down. Predicts Growth T. Ray Coughlin, city councilman, said it was appropriate that the move to bring the warring unions together should be started in California because Governor-ele- ct Olson had been an advocate of such a union. And now, with a progressive man in the governors chair, thi3 move will not only spread all over California but it will be watched by the entire nation, Coughlin (Continued on page 8) APPRECIATES LABOR NEWS SUPPORT G. A. Hoehn, secretary, C. C. C. Auxiliary Committee, St. Louis, writes: Our sincere appreciation and gratitude for the moral support you have given in our nation-wid- e campaign against the unfair Curlee Clothing Co. of St. Louis. Our battle against this vicious arch enemy of organized labor is still on and, no matter what the cost, must and will be continued until the Curlee Clothing company will have made peace with union labor by signing an agreement with the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America in St. Louis. Soon the battle will be won and the good work you have done will be vaued far and wide! May the valiant Utah Labor News meet with well deserved success and a New Year of Delight. i Mr. Hoehm enclosed a copy of a letter from Congressman Reuben T. Wood of Missouri on the Curlee fight. Mr. Wood is also the president of the Missouri State Federation of Labor. Congressman Wood says: You may rest assured that I will give you all the cooperation in your fight against the unfair Curlee Clothing Company of St. Louis. This concern has made itself in Washington the last two or three sessions of Congress in oposition to all legisnews lation beneficial to proposed labor. Because they carry the wherever they go. But the crowning answer of all and the one to win the subscription was this: Because every man should have one of his own and not run after his neighbors.

Sailor Yes, sir, cept that he seems to ave lost is sense of humor! con-spicio- us The Curlee Clothing company ?s doing most of its business in the smaller cities of the country, having lost much of its business in the cities with, an organized labor movement. This concern is not entitled to the workers and progressive farm- ers patronage and union labor should see to it that no merchant carry the Curlee clothes manufactured by the unfair St. Louis manufacturer, either in St. Louis or at Mayfield, Ky. |
