Geneva, Sept. 2.—The assembly of
the League of Nations convened here
today for its tenth annual session.
Delegations were present from vir-
tually all of the 54 members of the
League and among these the predic-
tion was confident that the session
would be one of the most important in
the history of the League.
More progress, it was believed,
would be made towards the accom-
plishment of the League’s principal
task,—the - permanent organization of
world peace—than at any preceding
session.
This belief was based on two things,
first on four outstanding developments
that have taken place outside the Lea-
gue during the past year, and secondly
on the progress of the League’s own
•program towards peace.

TODAY IN DALLAS

we
can look back over the past year with
the greatest of satisfaction. The organ-
izing of the unorganized wage earners
has gone ahead with startling success.
In more than 600 cities and towns ag-
gressive organizing campaign* have
been in progress and many thousands
of members have 'been added to the
trade unions. Furthermore the wage
earners in the South have awakened
to the necessity of organization. The
organization activities are not confin-
ed to a few localities or to a few states
i.ut are wide-spread below the Mason
and Dixon line.
Collective bargaining is becoming
to be more and more accepted as a
preventive of labor disputes. It has
averted many strike* and brought
peace to industries that otherwise
would have been in continued turmoil.
Since 1919 the number of strikes in
the United States has gradually
dwindled until the index number of 100
in 1916 was reduced to 17 in 1928. At
the same time of the 35,000 local un-
ions in tfie United States at least 20,-
000 whose contracts had expired re-
ceived improvements of some kind in
agreements with their employer* cith-
er in wages, hours or working condi-
tions.
The trade union movement, it can
be seen, has not been idle. The fact
that so many agreements are made by
the unions and employers without

Today is the 48th anniversary of the '

Federation of Labor it was soon found busineM
that the long work days and low ,
wages helped to bring acute panics. I
Therefore a shorter work day and high
wages were advocated. From that day
to this the hours of work have gra-
dually been reduced from twelve, thir-
teen or more to eight or less and the
work week to five days. The latter
principle is well established as many
employers are granting it voluntarily.
Convict-Made Good*
One of the greatest problems we
have had to face since the American
Federation of Labor was established
in 1881 was the competition of convict
made products with those made by free
labor. Wc urged legislation in the
states and in a number of them Con-
tract labor was eliminated and the
state-use system introduced. But this
was a slow method of solving the
problem. Therefore’23 year* ago we
urget Congress to pass a bill provid-
ing that convict made products ship-
j| state ahould. be governed
’by"the laws of that state the same as if
manufactured therein.
That bitt passed Congress and be-
came a*law January 19, 1929. This per-]
