Until late- \ ly it was merely a vague phrase. ] Labor was not organized politically. ; Members of labor unions voted as , they pleased and not on orders from . their leaders. I The only serious attempt in America to organize Labor as a po- , litical unit was the Knights of j Labor, predecessor of the American Federation of Labor. In the 1880's, under the leadership of T. V. Pow- ' derly, it seemed to make progress for a while, but it was impossible ; to line up any considerable number , of workers to agree to vote the . same way. The American Federation of La- ; bor was founded on a non-political , basis- No member was asked what his party allegiance was, nor could : any of the unions of the Federation itself be voted as a unit. It put no "Labor" tickets in the field; but its members nominally supported candidates friendly to the wage-earn cm. nun me puuuiuai asptrou Ui Labor is changing. With the organization of the C. I. O. the American Labor Party is the political arm of new style labor unions- It is already a factor for politicans to reckon with. POWER . . . to be reckoned Organized Labor tested its political power in several local and municipal elections this* month. The American Labor Party, in New York City, proved itself to hold the balance of power. It did not run its own candidate but indorsed the UNCLE NATCHEL A] (OH, LOOK/ 7 ilrrrotr'C fM 11 V ^ V I M [-QL ^ u/v/w^ f ? you j gL W j) M DULCY ? I Iu4 /IWi'd't. Warren ton.

R- Bowers. Mr. Brooks Neilson of Henderson is visiting Mr. Bowers WilsonSTUDY CLUB MEETS The Wyanoke Study Club met with Mrs. M- Nelson at her home on College Street, Friday afternoon, November 19. Late autumn flowers were attractively arranged in the the sitting room- The subject of the meeting was "Accumulated Wealth and Human Decay?Indian Industrialism." Mrs- Jos. P. Pippen gave an interesting talk on Parallels to America, and Modern Industry in India. Mrs. Bennett Latham discussed the Swadeshi Movement. A tempting salad course with hot coffee was served to the guests and club members i Republican candidate, Mayor F. H. LaGuardia, and elected him. Polling nearly half a million votes, the Labor Party could have elected the Democratic candidate. In Detroit, where the C, I. O. ran its own third ticket on a platform calling for complete acceptance of the C. I. O's right to control work and wages in industry, Labor was badly defeated, thought it cast more than 140,000 votes. Those results were to be expected. Voters as a whole are not ready to turn over their municipal governments to out-and-out labor leaders. Political Labor's tactics, to be successful, will have to follow the line adopted in New York, at least for a time. But by demonstrating ability to muster a block of votes large enough to decide an election, Labor lias increased its power to make politicians listen to its demands. UNIONS . . . class vs. mass The sudden rise of Labor to political power is due to the success of John L. Lewis in organizing unskilled workers and working groups previously unorganized on the "One Big Union'1 plan. The Federation of Labor is composed of craft unions, enlisting the skilled workers in distinct trades. The C. I. O. plan takes into one union everybody who works at any trade or no trade at all, in a given industry. The same idea was back of the "Wobblies," or Industrial Workers of the World, the labor movement which was making great headway before the World WarTTnripr t.hp "PpH prut inn nlan lahnv unions are a sort of aristocracy of skilled workers. Under the C. I. O. plan the unskilled rank and file are brought into fraternity with the mostly highly paid. The two organizations are bitterly fighting each other. I have no idea which will win or whether both can survive. I am quite certain, however, that unless the Federation itself goes into politics, the C. I. .O. will entrench MD SONNY ??

This is reflected in the growing pressure for tax relief for business, particularly small busineses that A11AU At UAAAAUUAt CO CUAlAJJete Willi monopolies; In the desire to draft a farm program that is workable and not just designed to satisfy the demand that something be done, and in the effort to avoid new govjf J ernment boards and commissions. Aside from farm legislation, the tax situation is one of the most important problems confronting Congress. It is an open secret that the Congressional Committees are dailly finding evidence that taxes are definitely retaring full business and industrial recovery and are determinjf j ed to bring in a bill for tax revision !i t that will be more equitable than the existing law. If the pressure for action continues, it may come at the special session, although the pro gram calls for tax legislation at the regular session, n As soon as the farm bill is re| ported, probably by the time this s column is printed, every effort to t ( speed it along will be made in both i | Houses. It now seems certain that J | the members of Congress have a better picture of farm needs and are hopeful that they can be met ? j through a well-planned law that will stand the test of time. What will be done about the wage and hour bill is problematic. The "behind the scenes" activities in the House, where the measure is a live issue, indicate that the bill finally | i reported will be more favorable to the South and free from too dras j ? jjfl Visit 1 T Toyland * , FRIDAY AND I :e We will have our Toys on Display I open Friday night the convenience oi come during the d !?ldat3 Be sure and visit "W; '' see what a wonder : of offer you. | Qnlort fmre Ko Qgn jr uui tuy o uv b?th , ed over on our Laj their ?

I I At the moment it seems certain 1 that the Congress will retain fuh I control of independent offices and ' commissiones now responsible to the | legislative branch of the govern. ' ment.

To again mention farm legisla. 3 tion, there is much hope that eariy 1 enactment of a program for agri- ' culture will have a beneficial effect | on business and industry, certainly | from the standpoint of stimulating 1 buying- It is highly important that 1 business and industry have a better 5 idea of available markets and that II those who comprise the markets he |j j better able to buy- Thus the farm.
