In that re: olution the council was ordered study “the 1ccessive steps have heen n by our federal and supreme courts through which, with- onstitutional authority and in op- ion of the action of the constitu- tional convention, they laid hold upon power which they now exercise.” The study has now been partially complet- ed and contains remedial suggestions made by Jackson H. Ralston, attor- ney of the American Federation of Labor. Three propositions are sub- mitted in the report for the consider- ation of the convention, each propos- | ing that authority of the supreme court to pass upon acts of congress should be cancelled or abridged. Arguments for and against the pro- posals are discussed at considerable length, Mr. Ralston giving it as his opinion that, coupled wth judicial re- forms, there the initiative and referendum, pro- portional representation and the pre- ferential ballot,” without which, he says, “methods of attaining justice will lack much of completeness.” This section of the report closes with the statement that the writer is convinced that in th subject the executive council has had before it one of the gravest fundamental ques- tions with which we will have to deal —the preservation of a truly demo- cratic government against what has often been called the ‘Aristocracy of the Robe’.” | Considerable attention is devoted by i the report to labor legislation. It is said that some rule should he adopt- ed in Congress which would prevent | obstructive legislative methods. The report lists among the measures stalled by “the weary waste of worth- less words” in the last congress in which labor was especially interested, the appropriation bills for the war la- bor board, United States Employment Agency, Women in Industry Service, Working Conditions Service and the Investigation and Inspection Service. The executive council suggests that the convention authorize the printing and wide circulation of a list of meas- ures in which the American Federa- tion of Labor is interested, among which are the bill forbidding immi- gration for four years during the peri- od of industrial reconstruction, a bill for an old age retirement system for federal employes in the classified serv- ice, a bill providing a minimum wage of three dollars a day for federal em- ployes, Secretary Lane’s bill to fur- nish land for soldiers and sailors, a bill to give states the same power over the products of conviet labor from other states as they exercise over ot | the products of their own prisons, in- | | dustrial vocational educ ons crippled in industry, increased | pay for teachers, and educational | bills desiged to end adult illiteracy in | the United States. | Appropriations Discussed. | Appropriatiors * the department i of labor are dis ed at some length. It is stated in the report that congress | in granting meager funds to that de- { partment “has failed to interpret cor- | rectly the epirit and trend of present- i day development” especially ‘“at a | time when there Is world-wide recog- i nition of the fundamental importance i of industrial problems.” “We maintain,” the report con- tinues, “that the importance of the {n- { terests at issue and the falthful, loy- | al service the workers have given the | sovernment and society, ha ned | for us the right to fair consideration | in the expenditure of national funds. | “We recommend congress be | advised that it is the earnest desire of | the organized labor movement and of | all Ameriea’s workers that the depart- { ment of labor be provided with ade- quate funds for performing the im | portant work which devolves upon i | The council recommended to fthe convention the endorsement of gov- , ernment ownership of the railroad after setting forth in great detail vari ous suggestions about the railroads from different sources. Discussing what is called the “meat packing monopoly,” the council quot- ed the report of the federal trade com- mission to President Wilson and said that hearings by the house interstate commerce committee “seemed to show conclusively the existence of a combination which not only controls and regulates the prices of beef, lamb, hogs and other meat but also egg butter, poultry, cheese, rice, fish, can- ned goods of all descriptions leather and wool.” It is then stated that in so far as “this combination restriots the supply and enhances the cost of these neces- sarles, the laboring people of the country are adversely affected and the matter becomes one of vital concern to the American Fedration of Labor.” 1t is charged in the report that the packers “during the war shortage of leather, when it was difficult to fur- nish shoes for soldiers, hoarded such quantities of hides that it was impos- Brief sketches are given by the council of the progress of legislation dealing with tax exemption for co- operatives, national war housing, propased amendments to the seamen's bill, initiative and referendum, convict labor, workmen’s compensation, gov- ernment employes, payments and privileges for soldiers and war work- ers, wheat prices; excessive public borrowings, motion pictures censar- ship, postal wage legislation, navy vard and arsenal services, and educa- tional systems, A complete report of an investiza. tion for per- u tion made of the elaborate eductional | of the International Ladies Workers' union also was system Garment submlitted Health Not Forgotten.

The taunt also was thrown at working peo- ple that they should have been able during the w because of increased wages, to save enough to carry them through the period of readjustment. These statenients betray either ignor- ance or a desire to wilfully deccive because they completely ignored the fact that the rising cost af living had absorbed whatever increase in wages had been secured and in many cases went much beyond the point of ab- sorption effecting actual decrease in the purc power of the indi- vidual. ment = = ‘ : { "ALGOHOL- 3 PER GENT- l A\’eéetablel’repamfimfiwrfis.-k similatingtheFood by Regu! “‘. il ting the Stomachsand Bowels of There | Cheerfulness and RestGonta 1 neither O, imn,MorphlneTc Mineral.

Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile e use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and sooth- ing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain more ¥ less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupify, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. There can be no danger in the use of Castoria if it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher as it contains no opiates or narcotics of any kind. Children Cry For There is such a thing as saying too much on any subject, and the “grand-stand” talker sooner or later becomes a bore. The truth is always welcomed, and the truth reiterated and confirmed is more than welcome—it reaches your innermost soul. Fletcher’s Castoria is all its advertising has claimed for it. Scrutinized by the microscope of public opinion and used for over thirty years it stands without a peer in the hearts of thoughtful, cautious, discerning Mothers. And once used, mother love—there is no substitute for mother love—will scorn to try a “‘substitute” or a “‘just-as-good”’. Masquerading under many names drugs that are injurious to the tender babe have found their way into some households, but the light of experience soon casts them out.
