In adopting the report of its Non-Partisan Political Campaign
Committee, the executive council of the American Federation of Labor
has taken a fateful step for the. organized workers of the country.
Endorsement of the LaFollette-Wheeler candidacies in revolt against
the regular parties, practically amounts to launching a separate and
distinct labor movement in politics.
Labor will dominate the following of the two candidates and
provide them with almost their entire strength. Wheeler, all along in

It is being shown more and more
that the masterpieces in playwriting
are neglected. Two plays, turned down
by every manager intown, were pro-
duced by private capital and devel-
oped into big successes. The play-
wright’s name, not the play, is the
big factor among passengers. They
seem to have an idea that the man
who haS once written a successful
play will always have a following even

construed as support for such a party, group or movement, except as
such action accords with our non-partisan political' policy. We do not
accept govemmept as the solution of the problems of life. Major
problems of life and labor must be dealt with by voluntary groups and
organizations of which trade unions are an integral,part." .
If the two last sentences are true, then labor has no legitimate
purposes to serve in politics, that is, when acting not as individual
workers, or, more properly, citizens, but as an organized group. It
can effect its welfare by economic means and industrial instruments.
It needs not to go into politics, since none of its aims are really
political. Protection and fair treatment it needs, of course, as does
every other national group. But this can be assured by seeing that
nothing to labor's disadvantage is done by the government.
Formerly, the consistent policy of labor was for the workers to
vete as individuals for those candidates who were friendly to their
aims or were known not to be the foes of labor. It was possible to
choose congressional candidates to vote for upon the basis of their
friendliness, without going outside the regular party organizations or
seeming to dictate to the people at large the kind of representatives
' they should have.
Congress was the only body of government with which labor was
concerned, as it made the laws for the nation, and alone could invade
the interests of labor. To see that there was a fair congress was the
only problem of labor in politics. It was a problem that could be solved
without encroaching upon the rights of other groups or voting as an
organization. To effect such a solution, and that only, was what the
American Federation of Labor meant by non-partisan political activity.
This is fully conceded by the Non-Partisan committee in its report.
And, further, it confesses that the non-partisan policy is extended in
being applied to candidates for president and vice-president. Such an
extension is unwarranted, as it can secure to labor no benefits. But
it would not be directly harmful if the application was made to the
regular party candidates and in the same way as formerly made to
their congressional candidates. That is to say, if the workers were
permitted to maintain their party allegiance and cast an individual
ballot. But when the application involves- the endorsement of in-
dependent candidates whose chief support is expected to come from
labor, then the application of non-partisanism means that the workers
must abandon their usual political relationships and castvheir votes
en masse. s _
The candidates endorsed are not true independents, as is well
known. LaFollette has promised that if successful he will found a new
party, and certainly, if he should succeed with labor support, that party
can be none other than a labor party. It would be a third party,
occupying in this country much the same position which the Labor
Party holds in England, though without that party’s temporary ad-
. vantage. It would be a minority in respect of both the regular parties.
Certainly, neither would assist it against the other, but both would
seek to eliminate it from their field of activities. ,
Labor would inevitably experience a decline in the estimation of

his public career, has been an out-and-out advocate of the interests
of labor. LaFollette, outside of his own state of Wisconsin, has de-
pended chiefly upon the Railroad Brotherhoods for support. His appeal
to the farmers is definitely failing, due to the prosperity that is com-
mencing to sweep the Northwest.
With the American Federation's endorsement, the LaFollette
candidacy cannot fail to assume the proportions of a labor enterprise
in politics. The whole mass of the country’s industrial workers will
be thrown in behind the Wisconsin radical if the Federation can com-
mand them. They will be the only whole group that will desert jn a
body from the regular parties and adhere to the forlorn hope of the
independent candidates. It is idle to contend that this adherence does
not in fact amount to starting a new party movement.
The Non-Partisan committee seemed sensible of the inference
that would be inevitably drawn from such an extraordinary step. In
trying to explain its new position, the committee gave a very good
reason Tor labor keeping out of politics altogether. It declared in its
report: “Co-operation hereby urged is not a pledge of identification

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.—Gray’s drug
tore on Broadway and Forty-third
Street is a monument to a business
romance of the Rialto. It is no dif-
ferent from the hundred and one other
chain drug stores selling everything
from pins to lawnmowers, save in the
side door entrance on Forty-third
Street;
This entrance leads to one of the
most picturesque auction places to be
found anywhere. Two hours before
the theaters open nightly and at mti-
nees the unsold seats are dumped
there to Be sold at cut rate prices.
The initiated go there Instead of to
the ticket specuraror:
The side door leads to a long ramp
which in turn leads up to the auc-
tion counters. A dozen clerks with
charts of the various attractions call
out the seats that are left. There are
only one or two "sell outs" in town
so it is always possible to get a seat
at cut rates.
Four or five policemen aroon hand
to keep order among the crowds. The
auctioneers call out their seats and
hands fly up to signify purchase. In
the beginning tho cut rate auction
room was a mere hole in the wall,
operated by Joseph Le Blang, king of
the cut rate ticket men.
Le Blang wields a big power in
the theatrical world. He has been
angel for many plays. He has bolster-
ed up many productions nearing col-
lapse. and theater men depend upon
him to fill their balconies and seats
in the rear downstairs.
It is said "Le Blang can make or
break a show.” When his business
began to grow he tried to get more
room in the drug store but could not.
It was the most desirable corner for
his operations, so he fihally bought
the drug store and enlarged it.
The drug store in itself is a pros-
perous business, but it is only second-
ary to the cut rate auctioneering that
goes on in the rear. It is said this
business alone makes itsowner a clear
profit of something like a half million
dollars a year.

One of the best home-grown feeds *
that can be grown anywhere is soy
beans, a crop that should be known on
every dairy farm. The soy bean may
be combined advantageously in many
systems of crop rotations. It is es-
pecially adapted to short rotations
that take either an entire season or
a part of a season following some grain
crop. In the Southern states the crop
is adapted to practically the same
places as cowpeas, says W. J. Keegan,
dairy husbandman at Clemson college,
who believes that soy beans should
have a prominent place on every dairy
farm in the state.
The feeding value of soy bean seed,
which contain from 30 to 46 per cent
protein, is very high and compares
favorably with other concentrated
feeds. The growing of soy bean seed
will enable the dairy farmer to produce
at a moderate coat at least part of the
high protein concentrates necessary for
milk production. Soy bean seed con-
tain a higher percentage of digestible
nutrients than cottonseed meal, linseed
meal or wheat bran.
Soy bean seed ground into meal has
been found a most excellent feed for
dairy' cows. The Massachusetts agri-
cultural experiment station compared
soy bean meal and cottonseed meal,
using the same ration otherwise. The
quantity of milk produced from the
soy bean ration was slightly higher.
At the Tenessee station in a similar
comparison of the two feeds, the yields
both of mhilk art butterfat were about
5 per cent greater for the soy bean
meal.
In the South, as a feed for dairy
cows, perhaps soy beans in hay form
is the most valuable. As compared
with hay from other leguminous crops,
soy bean hay is equal or superior to
any, not excluding alfalfa. Soy bean
hay can be much more readily and
easily cured than cowpea hay. The
chief value of soy bean hay lies in its
high content of digestible protein. In
feeding value it is superior to red
clover or cowpeas, and as indicated
by comparative feeding tests, is equal
to alfalfa for milk production.

the anti-trust laws, while the Non-Partisan committee stated in its

vantage that he is now the real politi-
cal leader of the oldtime army chiefs.
He is the only man in Spain who
dares face do Rivera. Last March
Weyler was appointed president of the
supreme war council, where he stands.
In reality, between de Rivera and the
dictator’s possible use of the army to
overthow the monarchy.
King Alfonso has personal faith in
General Weyler, and the aged com-
mander is noted for his loyalty to the
royal family.
General Weyler's full name is Don
Valerlano Weyler Nicolau, first Mar-
quis of Teneriffo, Duke del Rubi and
Grande of Spain.
Weyler has served seventy years in
the Spanish army. He got his bap-
tism of fire in San Domingo. He wore
an officers uniform in the Crimea and
through the Indian mutiny. He was
a general at 33 and a marshal at 35.
It was Weyler who was called
upon to crush the.Barlist Basque and
Catalonian uprisings. Then followed
his Cuban service; Recalled, he be- '
cam© minister of war under two pre-
miers and then minister of marine.
He was named captain-general in
1910 and is the last man to bear that
title—a proud one in Spanish military
history. -

name—who eight times a week in a
musical show receives enough “socks

He is one of the fighters in th© most
realistic prize fight scenes ever staged
in New York. There is no faking. For
two rounds he is hammered in such
a way the ladies turn their heads and
the men rise in their seats with en-

There are 5000 young men in New
York training at gymnasiums in the
hope of becoming future world cham-
pions of the pugilistic arena. Most
of them make a vicarious living as
“preliminary boys" at fights where
more noteworthy stars shine. They
wear sweaters and caps and talk out
of the side of the mouth. A "serap"
to them is not work but play. They
learned the art of rough and tumble
fighting on the sidewalks where they
were raised. They take a “sock on
the jaw" with a laugh.

"'Julius Jones.’”
“’And-you?’ I inquired of the other
brother, a bashful little felow. He was
nearly frightened out of his wits by
a new teacher; so sputtered out:
” ‘Bilious Jones."’

advice seems to be forgotten, and labor is urged to do what it has pre-
