Labor Meeting Well Attended 0)1. T. W. McCullough Points Out Advantages of Col lective Bargaining. With a seven-piece orchestra to en tertain them and a long list of speak ers on the program, a capacity crowd gathered at. the labor forward move ment meeting Friday night at the Labor temple at Nineteenth and Davenport streets. Col .T. W. McCullough of The Omaha Bee was the principal speaker of the occasion. He addressed Ills tijk largely t» the nonunion men present. “The nonunion man is at a .disadvantage when he tries to obtain :t fair wage,” declared Colonel Mc Cullough. “He must bargain singly against an aggregation of employers. T'y joining with his fellows engaged in the same kind of work, he is bet *. r aide to command a reasonable wage." “The labor union does not demand a living wage any more, as it did in ('ays’ cone by. when the man who worked from 7 n. m. to 6 p. m. was considered lucky, even though ho barely made enough to keep body and soul together,” he continued. "The working man should be able to make enough for himself and family to live on. and to insure against that time \\ lion he will he unable to work, or not inclined to. For every man has a i iglit to some pleasure and a few luxuries during and after his years of arduous toil. Much progress has been made in this direction, and largely through the influence of the labor unions. Col. McCullough said that the only demand of the union is "fair wages." "Not to take advantage either'way. For this reason the walking delegate or business agent is a valuable asset. He sees to it that both the employer apd employes live up to the terms of the contract, and that the em ployes furnish * reasonable amount of work instead of taking advantage of union protection." A comedy showing the industrial Question from a rather humorous and nonpartisan standpoint preceded Col. McCullough's address. Other speakers were Thomas Wilson, Inter national organizer for the machinists’ union; Robert Lyons, international or ganizer foifcjthe Hotel and Restaurant Employes, and Organizers Close and Naldy of the typographical and upholsterers’ unions, respectively. Henry Wolf, member of the carpen ters’ union, presided. An open dis cussion followed the various speeches. Duncan Private in Legion Army At least part of ths’tlme MaJ. Gen. George B.

The Italian-Amerlcans are,* great home-owning people, according to Sebastian Salerno, royal consular agent for Omaha and Nebraska. "They pay taxes on over $2,000,000 of property in Douglas eotmty,” he declared. "In Omaha there are about 10,000 Italian-Amerlcans." continued Mr. Salerno. "There are about 15,000 in the state of Nebraska. These peo ple are engaged In all kinds of work. Many of them are machinists, labor ers and skilled laborers. A great many are successful in business." The Italian-Amerlcan is a con structive element in American so ciety. “The Italian rentes to Amer ica to make his home here and to become an American citizen," he says. “Most of them have their families here. Their children attend the public schools, and most of them go on to high school, many attend the universities. Thrifty Citizens. "For the number of Itallan-Ameri rans we have in Douglas county, wc have a smaller percentage than any other nationality wjto become public charges. This is accounted for by the fact that they art a saving and an economical people There has always bwn a great de sire on the part of Italians to emi grate to the United States. For the last three year* fiwer Italians have been ad mi ted to country on ac count of the rigid Immigration laws now in force. The Italian quota for the present fiscal year ending in July lias already been filled. From the figures given by Mr. Salerno, one would be inclined to think that the Italian draws his live lihood from working In the cities. However, agriculture has been the basic industry of Italy for many years. Before the war, only a little over one-sixth of the total area of Italy was unproductive, despite the fact that the country is very moun tainous in the north. In fact, only about one-third of the surface is made up of plains. Most of it ia Included in tha great plain of the Po rivar, which is Italy’s principal inland waterway. Italy la a narrow strip of land often likened to the shape of a hoot. For that reason no inland point la far distant from the sea. Fishing is an important industry. Mining is not as successful as in other European countiles. There Is little coal, and for this reason Italian Industries have always remained more or leea in the background.

"Since Mussolini has become head of the Italian government, Italy Is fast improving, ami it will very soon become n prosperous nation," prop hesied Mr. Salerno. "As conditions now stand It Is not badly off in com parison with other Kuropean coun tries. Strikes are n thing of the past. The prople are united in construction, and results can lie only for the best." Sebastian Salerno was horn in Italy 46 years ago. He lias been very influential In Italian .circles here, having been a resident of Omaha ever since he came to America 26 years ago. Last year he received the ap pointment to succeed Cav. Venuto, retiring consular agent for Nebraska, in recognition of his good work. Mr. Salerno has helped many im migrants through his business estab lishment at 413 South Tenth street which he has maintained in connec tion with his consular duties.

Even Japan Is convinced of that. We should- be thankful because we have shown such marvelous recuperative powers since the world war. W# should .be grateful when we think that we are so prosperous while other parts of the world are hungry. There Is reason for thankful hearts when we realise that this country of ours has furnished the world the norm of political growth. I thank God for the measure of prosperity we have, for It Is real prosperity when measured by the standards of .the past.” Alleged Slayers Are Bound Over Jimmy Griffin, Jesse Banker and William Welter wera arraigned Fri day In police court on charges of first degree murder arising from the slaying of Henry McArdle one week ago.
