It is quite true that the mass- es did not better themselves by exchanging republicans for de- mocrats. It was another scene in the old see-saw between the “ins” and the “outs” with the latter depending for success on the short memories of the work- ers who rarely can look back beyond two years. The only thing the masses recollected was that this boast- ed prosperity on which the G. O. P. banked was not theirs; that Mellon, Gary, Morgan and Butler had a monopoly on it and that they could not be any worse off under the democrats! than under the republicans. They are right but that’s all. Thruout the whole country the army of labor slumbered except in a few spots where either the Workers (Communist) Party had a ticket in the fleld or a Farmer-Labor movement was on the ballot.

Twelve shops employing 375 work- ers have gone back to work under the union contract, which provides for hiring ali workers thru the union em- ployment bureau, a 44-hour week, 10 per cent increase in wages and time and a half for overtime. The other shops in the trade are ‘ied up in an employers’ association, but the union expects a break in the association's ranks within two or three days, which will mean the set tlement of all the shops in the in- dustry, which employs 900 workers including the 875 already working under unton contract.
