Harry Keiser, Sutphin Ave. Electrical Workers Frank Viduorek, 828 East Ave., Hamilton, Ohio in New York state— Equals that of all eight of the South Atlantic States together— It is about one-half the total of that of all the Southern States Population? If that matters, cities of New York state have almost 11 million- All the cities of the Southern Staies total about 14 million population— So, there are the foundations for the states' rights, North and South— You ask: What about the rest of the northern cities and states—? Well, now, that is a fact Mr, Strawn, of the Liberty League, is in Chicago*— When your head aches when Neu ralgia tortures you when Muscular Pains make you miserable—take a Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain PilL Mr. Smith is one of millions who have found this easy way to prompt relief.

Questions and Answers on La \or: What It Has Done Where It Stands on Problems of the Day Its Aim and Program Who's Who in the Ranks of the Organized Toilers, etc., etc. Q.—What union label shows ground being blown up by an explosion? A.—The label of the United Power and High Explosive Worker s of America. Q.—How has the American Feder ation of Labor recorded its support of the Labor Chest? A.—The federation, at its last con vention, adopted a resolution which said: "The American Federation of Labor records itself as favoring a full measure of support to all victims of Fascism and particularly to refugees from Fascist countries, and to those brave heroes of labor, who, despite the tremendous risks involved con tinue to hold the thread of of labor solidarity, and labor organizations within the Fascist countries. It urges, therefore, the fullest support of the American Federation of Labor for the Chest for the Liberation of Workers of Europe. NEW JUDICIAL BODY For Trade Is Urged By In dustrial Council By A. F. of L. News Service. Washington, D. C.—A recommenda tion that the authority of the federal trade commission, if that body is con tinued, be limited to the functions of investigation and prosecution and that its judicial functions be transferred to an independent group was included in a report approved by the Council for Industrial Progress and made public by Major George L. Berry, co-ordina tor for industrial co-operation, follow ing submission to President Roosevelt. Holding that there are many diffi culties involved in vesting both ad ministrative and judicial power in a single body the report said the new body with judicial functions only "should include in its personnel, be sides incumbents with legal training, lay representatives of industry, labor and the consuming public, and should have jurisdiction, but not to the ex clusion of the courts, in cases insti tuted either by the federal trade conv mfesioner or by aggrieved private par ties." The committee assigned by the council to study the anti-trust laws and federal commission act was head ed by Robert A. B. Cook, of Phipps, Rudgin & Cook, Boston, represent ing management, and Matthew Woll, third vice president of the Ameri can Federation of Labor, representing labor. Ban on Unfair Work Conditions The committee found that the pres ent anti-trust laws are not entirely potent in preventing many of "the destructive, discriminatory, or de ceptive, competitive practices which, once initiated, tend to become general under the competitive pressure which they generate," adding: "They obstruct the sound function ing of the competitive system. They demoralize industry in business. They reduce purchasing power as a result of enforced exploitation of wage earners. They undermine economic stability. From them flow evil conse quences which the anti-trust laws were designed to prevent and others at least as grave." To be consistent, a member of a labor union shrould buy only union made goods with his union-earned money.
