States' rights—
What are they talking about, any
way?
A "right" is said to be a claim,
which can be enforced—
Generally, it means some kind of a
property claim, worth enforcing—
There is the fundamental, basic
right—
To life,
liberty,
and the
pursuit

happiness—
Separate that from the reasonable
use of property—
And there is not much left, worth
talking about—
Something funny about the location
fo these claimants, nowadays—
States' rights is something which
was greatly emphasized by Southern
States—
Federal rights was something urg
ed, and enforced by the Northern
States—
But today the cry is coming from
another source entirely—
Child labor is supposed to be one
of these states' rights—
But the state of New York is re
fusing to approve the child labor
amendment—
A successful cotton picking machine
would pretty near wipe out Southern
child labor—
Without any amendment to the con
stitution—

There would be some left in the
cotton mills—
But child labor is only an incident,
comparatively small—
Take a look at the other "property
rights," North and South—
The cost of government for New
Work, city and state—
Is more than that of all the South
ern States put together—
The gross debt of New York city
is more than that of all state gov
ernments—
Omitting only the New England and
Middle Atlantic states—
The assessed valuation of property

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. He says:—
"I keep Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain
Pills in my pocket and when I
get a dull heavy feeling in my
head, I take a Dr. Miles' Anti
Pai-p, Pill and the pain passes off
DR I l_E S
-ANTI-PAIN PIUS-
Judges may enjoin unions, but they
can't get out an injunction agianst
th! use of union labels, shop cards
and buttons.
For which you may add 3.4 million
population—
Together with about 8 billion as
sessed valuation for Illinois—
Which equals about one-fourth that
of all the Southern States—
You only embarrass the statisticians
by adding Ohio, Indiana and Pennsyl
vania.
To be sure, Northern capital is mov
ing into Southern cotton mills—
But Wall street will not be moving
to Georgia for some time yet—
Although Talmadge has been build
ing up his financial basis for states'
rights—
Valiant warriors for states' rights
will be found in the wealthy states
Where the state legislatures are
more easily controlled—
Because the states are controlled,
politically, mainly through ti e cities
So long as property maintains polit
ical control of the nation—
So long as wealth outweighs human
values—•
So long as corporations balance
distribution against dividends—
So tymg as the reason for business
is to continue profits—
So long as production of commodi
ties is not for human use primarily—
Cities and corporations will control
state governments—
For the protection of states' rights!

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.
