Unionism demands of its followers, not only un-

all times, work for its best interests and those in-
terests are best obtained by seeing to it that not
only you but your fellow unionists are not denied,
in the least, their measure of happiness.
Do you ask for the Union Label, the brand that
marks fair wages—honest goods—sanitary con-

everywhere; it is the strongest weapon you pos-

The essence of unionism is the desire to help,
never to hinder. It is the grouping together of
men and women, actuated by highest motives,
to lift themselves and their associates to a high-
er a happier existence; to see to it that they are
not denied those natural rights which justice
concedes but which the predatory the avaricious
deny.

cation of the murderous tax on cigar-

cigarettes, will be sought again in the
current session of Congress.
At least five blb for tax modifica-
tion are pending. These bills are
identical in purpose, and enactment
of any one of them will bring about
the relief needed to save the 10-cent
cigarette, generally regarded as the
poor man's smoke.
Principal opposition to modification
of the tax comes from the enormous-
ly wealthy and strongly intrenched
big four non-union compantes which
hare plowed and jammed their way
through to Unsocial success by the
use of every method known to big
business, crowding down hard upon
the tobacco farmer on the one hand,
exploiting the worker on the other,
and taking the whole jack-

Present Tax Inequitable.
The present tag on cigarettes is six
cents per package of 20. regardless of
whether the package sells for 10. 15,
20 or more cents. Added to this tax
are, of coruse, statetaxes in several
states. But the Federal tax ie the

sumer, so that the consumer of a
package of 10-cent cigarettes must;

Governmental policies are often dif-
ficult to understand, and one that u
especially bewildering just now is
that which pays farmers for keeping
their land out of cultivation on the
one hand, while on the other it spends
hundreds of milltons on reclamation
projects to provide more land
The inconststency and absurdity of
such a course was pointed out in s
recent speech by James R Howard,
an lows farmer and former president
at tbs American Farm Bureau Hed-
eration, who particulany referred to
the Columbia River development,
which he characteriuea as the biggest
reciamation project the world has
ever knowp. Its avowed purpose being
to bring 1,200,000 acres of desert land
Into cultivation, or four times the po-
tential expansion of Boulder Dam.
He quotee the engineers as stating
that the cost to the Federal treasury
to make these 1,200,000 acres tllable
will be 390 million dollars and adds
"Thus, while the government is In-
sisting that I reduce my production.
It Ie taxing the nation 1350 per acre
to bring these competing acres into
cultivation I am told that this is
only one of some 75 rechamacton pro}-
ects being financed by tbs govern-
ment.”

B. Cook,
Washington, DC. (AFLNS).— Posi-
tive advances in Federal and State la-
bor legislation were greater during
the fiscal year ending June M. 1936,
“than ie any ocher like period in our
history," Secretary of Labor Frances
Perkins declared in her annual report
in Federal legislation the main
achievement* cited were the employ-
ment, compensation and old-ge pen-
sion and annuity systems set up by
the Social Security Act, improved
machinery for adjusting industrial
disputes elaborated in the Wagner-
Connery Labot Relatons Act, the plan
for adjusting wages and hours co-
troversies in the bituminous coal min-
ing industry contained in the Guffey-
Snyder Coal Stabilisation Act. and the
system for regulating employment
conditiona at interstate buses by the
Interstate Commetee Commisslon set
forth in the Motor Carriers Act.
Collective Bargaining Gains
Collective bargaining for determin-
ing labor relations made, important
gains during the year, the report eaid.
adding:
"The work of the national labor
boards In marking out the rights and
duties of lbs parties and thus devel-
oping the suitable content at law in
the field in full of meaning for future
administrations. (
"The enactment at the Wagner-
Connery Labor Disputes Act in June,
1935, defines and strengthened the
rights to freedom "dT associatiom and
collective bargaining.
"Strike and industrial disputes in
general were numerous relative to the
depression years immediately preced-
ing. Thle was due in part to the na-
tural expectation of labor to share in 1
the early fruits of business improve- !
ment. It 1* the province at govern
ment to give economic reality to the
nominally legal bargaining equality of
management and labor
"in the long run a more even posi-
tion of industry and labor and col-
lective bargaining may be expected to
promote industrial peace and good-
will." .
Praises f. 8. Employment Service
The United Statee Employment
Service, Miss Perkins said, "has been
built Into a successful program of op-
eration both from the point of view of
employment in private Industry and
from the point of view of being an ef-
fective agency for the placement of
unemployed workers in government
empboyment, such as the Civilian Con-
servation Corps and the PWA."
Mims Perkins expressed her disap-
polntment at slow progress made in
child labor legislation. Nevertheless,
the Federal Child Labor Amendment
had been ratified-by Idaho, Imdiaa-
Utah and Wyoming raising to 24 the
States which have approved it. Con-
necticut' provided industrial work by
persons under it and work in hazard-
out occupations by those under it. In
Massachusetts protection was granted
in radio broadcasting and in Minne-
note protected night club employment
