V THE- OREGON DAILY ' JOURNAL. PORTLAND. OREGQN. MONDAY SEPTEMBER SO. 1B20. 60MPERS B -.- - i - '. SE HATOR HARD NG GONG K BACKWARD ,By John Gleissner Caltae 'Ntw Staff OnmimtaL Washington. Bept. 20. Samuel Gomptri, president of the American Federation of Labor, In the current issue of the American Federationist. declares Senator Warren Q. Hard ins la for "golDi- backward" and that the principle , he advocates offer nothing constructive to meet the Issues of the day. Oompera' criticism la couched In the strongest terms he haa yet used, and hia advocacy of Governor . Jamea M. Cox la as vigorous aa bis denunciation: of Hardin. He charges that the Republic cane have "turned their back" on labor. and would revert to conditions that have passed. TO START CAMPAIGN Whits Gompers takes pains to make It clear that no one In the labor move ment haa authority tell anyone else how his vole should be cast, It became known that the leaders in the fed era Hon, in the four prlrxipal railroad brotherhoods and In the United Mine Workers will begin active agitation among their membership in Cox's be half. These organisations encompass practically ail organised labor. Politicians question the ability of Oompers to direct .the votta of the 4.000.000 Workers affiliated under his leadership, hut they do not discount ths Importance of the "labor vote." The federation during its non-partisan poll tieal campaign in every state, haa built up machinery that will enable the lead era to make their Influence more di rectly and potently felt CONDITIO OBSOLETE "In a sentence. Cox summed up his position," says Oompers. In speaking of the candidates. In effect. Senator Harding says, 'Let ua return to nor malcy." ' "Governor Cox i . 1 am for prog ress.' Senator Harding does not use the word 'normal.' He speake of 'normalcy.' The word 1 obsolete and so Is the con dition to which he would return. "Questionably in the mind of Senator Harding a return to normal means a lu.urn to the conditions that existed i before the war a return to something that Is past It is clear then that la keeping with the spirit of the Republi can plat'irm Senator Harding's per sonal desire Is to follow a course that leads backward and. If elected, to lead the nation in such a course. Governor Cox proclaims a desire to go forward and a determination to lead the nation In a forward course If he la eiocir. to the presidency. UJMOXS not becogwized "Both of these statements are ab stractions and of themselves mean noth tng beyond a definition of the general trend of thought of the candidates. The Important fact is, however, that the platforms of the parties upon which these candidates stand and their own 3rsonal philosophies lead inevitably and naturally up to the conclusions found in those two brief utterances. Be cause that Is so, It Is fair to accept them aa broad though brief statement of general policy. "Harding says, 1 am for going back ward.' "Cox ssys, 1 am Tor going forward.' Oompers finds fault with the Republi can platform because he says It makes no acknowledgment of the right of workers to organize. He crlticltee it also, because; It haa no word of hope and no "promise of relief en the problem of high living costs, and other things. He adds: TURNS BACK OIT PEOPLE "In the seclusion of his broad and comfortable front porch at Marion, Sen ator Harding observes , the Republican platform and finds it a document after his own heart He lifts up his hands to those assembled on his good front lawn and with benign countenance says, 'Lot us return to the old order.' "The " Republican convention turned Us back upon labor and In so doing turned its tback upon all of our people, except for' that small minority which finds Its occupation In the exploitations of the masses through special opportu nities and special privileges.

Consumer Is Urged To Read Labels in Purchasing Foods By Carl L. AUber (Chief of ths Bxmea of ChsaistiT. TTnHMd States Department of Arrtcultnr) . Washington, Bept. IS. (United News.) Read the labels on all food packages. The federal food and. drugs act provides that the quantity of food In each pack age haU be stated on the label, and if tne cneaper miienu m BucmiiunQ tor one of the usual ingredients of the food, a statement that the substitution has been made muat be placed on UtCflbel By critically reading the labels on food packages the careful buyer can learn before making a purchase exactly how much food is in a package. It aot in frequently happens that of two pack ages of the same sise one will contain from 10 to 60 per cent more food than the other. The buyer who looks only at the alae of the package and not at the statement of the quantity of the contents will often be haaded the package with the smaller quantity, and twill pay for it the same price for which the package containing the larger', amount could be bought. This Is particularly true in packages of spices, condiments, flavoring extracts and similar food which brings a rela tively high price in proportion to the Quantity, but it may occur in any foods put up in packages.
