ing care ofthe House Mother
and the Teacher, who compose
the staff OF workers.
The ultimate purpose is to es-
tabllsh a House OF Childhood in
as many centrally located COM
munities as we are able, gather
ing together into q family q
group often children not yet in
their teens, with two workers, q
House Mother and q Teacher.
Such a home and school would
be an addition to any communi.
ty where it might BE- located, as
the day-school. would be open to
any children Of the same age.
While in almost every commu.
nifty there is some charity work
to be done, yet the oppoEtpni-
tiles for education and training Of.
fered BY the House Of Childhood
are not limited solely 70 those
children whose parents or guar
dians cannot pay anything. The
cost of. board for each child is
$5. 90 per month, either. I'M cash
or producs, and for day pupils
attending the; school, q. tuition
fee OF SOC. a month is charged for
such child. The children whose
parents caa pay are as)welcome
as those whose parents,or guar.
dians cannotpay. Forthose who
cannot pay we need the generous
support Of the people, in thie
mountain region togivsan equal
opportunity with thoseIwho are
more fortunate.
The House OF Childhood is fol
the children OF the mountains
and we want the interest and CO.
operation Of everybody in thii
section to help do Q work for thu
benefit Of humanity. "In as much
as ye have done it unto, one o
the least Of these ye have done !

LABOR TO FIGHT
DRY AMENDMENT
And Believes Statewide Prohibition
''WOuld BE Inimical to Good
Government and Personal
Liberty"
LIABILITY INSURANCE FIRMS
TO BE OPPOSED.

The Executive Committee of the Ohio
State Federation of Labor, in special
session at the Hotel Savoy yesterday,
announced an uncompromising opposi-
ton to Statewide prohibition and def
nitely decided to bring action in the STU
preme Court against the liability insur-
ance companies recently licensed to
write workmen's compensation policies.
The fight against the insurance COM
panies was precipitated by the action
of State Insurance Commissioner Tag
CERT in granting licenses to the com
panies. This right was withheld under
the former administration on an opin-
ion by former Attorney General Hogan
that the companies were barred by law
from participation in the compensation
insurance.
President Voll and Secretary Treas
urer Donnely of the federation were
appointed committee to retain attor-
neys to represent the labor body before
the Supreme Court. 1t is considered
probable that Hogan will be one Of the
counsel.
The Executive Committee made de-
tailed report of its fight before the
Legislature and of hearings before Gov
ernor Willis that had held the insurance
companies in check until Taggert's un-
expected action.
The federation's stand against the
proposed amendment providing for
Statewide prohibition was as follows:
"The adoption of the amendment would
result in the loss of employment by
thousands of wage earners and would
be nimical to good government, morals
and the personal liberty of the citizen"
Final preparations for the State con-
vention at Mansfield October / were
made by the board.

BIG BREWERIES ENDEAVOR
TO TILT IOWA LID
TO HELP THIRST

In an endeavor to have the Iowa lid
tilted so as to assuage the thirst OF
lowans who are compelled to dwell in
desert territory, four of the large brew
ing companies who sell considerable pro-
duct in this State, have filed suit in the
United States district court in Chicago,
asking an injunction against the Rock
Island from refusing to deliver beer to
interior Iowa towns.
Local citizens who are interested in
the case declare it is forerunner of
the fight which is to be made by the
brewery interests from now on until the
in the dry column
The plaintiffs in the case are the Theo-
dore Hamm Brewing Company of St.
Paul, the Minneapolis Brewing Com
pany, the G.. Heilman Brewing Company
of La Crosse and the Rock Island Brew
ing Company. These companies aver in
their bill of complaint that the consti-
tutional right of those citizens of the
United States residing in Iowa have been
abridged arbitrarily through the refusal
of the railway company to deliver beer
and other fermented liquors to pur-
chasers in that State.
The damage to the brewing companies
through this refusal is said to be many
thousands of dollars annually. The
damage to those deprived of the desired
stimulant is not set forth.
mo State shall make or enforce any
law which shall abrdge the privilege or
immunities of a citizen of the United
States quotes the plaintiffs bill from
the federal constitution.
The railroad company refuses to ac-
cept consignments of beer, it is alleged,
on the ground that to do so would be a
violation of the Iowa State laws.-Ceddr
