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.
