TO BLAME IN BOSTON
BUILDING STRIKE.

Boston, May 20.-The State Board
of Cancellation and Arbitration in
handing down late today it's opinion
on the building trades strike which
kept fifteen thousand mechanics idle
here for months, from last January
said it found no justification for the
fifty per cent wage increase to $3.50
an hour demanded by the workers
union before it would discuss terms
for new working agreement" The
contract between the United Build
ing Trades Council and the Boston
Building Trades Employers Associa-
ton expired in January
The arbitration board, which re-
Gently completed investigation into
the building trades situation here,
further said it was of the opinion
that the workers organization had
not given sufficient and proper con-
S1deration of the oral offer of the
employers association made through
its strike committee on December 30
OF the terms of the agreement in eff
tect without wage changes except
/ for reduction of overtime remunera-
| ton from double time to a time
and a half basis and with provision
for uniformity in travel and reporting
pay.
The union refused the EMPLOYERS
offer, demanding a straight $3.50 hour
| wage before considering a new agree
ment, the board said.
THE board, after careful examina-
, ton of all the facts and evidence, is
of the opinion that it is not justified
in deciding that either of the asso-
Citations is mainly responsible or
blameworthy for the existence of this
labor controversy" the boards opin-
ion continued.
CAS- to the strike on the part of the
employees designated in the trades
group as pasterers, which occurred
the first of the year, the board de-
cides that the employees, in this group,
are mainly responsible for the exis-
tence of that labor controversy
"As to the continuance of this Ia
Dor controversy, the board decides
that the employees, members of those
trade groups which declined, to join
with the employees organization with
which they were affiliated, to wit:
the trade groups known as electric
lans, plasterers and plumbers, are
mainly responsible for the contin-
uance of this labor controversy"
The bricklayers' union, "as it not
affiliated with the employees organ
ization and has expressed a willing
ness to arbitrate the existing differ
ences," is not included by the board
in the groups named as being main
ly responsible"

QUART TO EVERY PERSON

Washington, May 20.-Declaring it
was not possible to draft bomb
proof liquor law, Wayne B. Wheeler.
general counsel of the Anti-Saloon
League, told the House judic-
larry committee that some clerks en-
ployed by the district prohibition
commissioners were making more
money in week through dishonest
dealings with fraudulent permits for
withdrawal of alcohol than they
would earn on straight salaries in
two years. Approximately 100000
gallons had been withdrawn in the
last year, or considerably more than
a quart for every man, woman and
child in the country. Mr.. Wheeler
said. In urging more drastic law
to correct the situation. His was the
! concluding argument on the Volstead
bill to tighten up the Volstead law
and prevent sale of beer to the sick.
Mr.. Wheeler commended that of the
35,O00,000 gallons, fully eighty per
cent. was used for beverage purposes
and that the percentage of fraud and
graft could be reduced to a minimum
by amending the law so that none of
it could be removed until by medical
ing or denaturing it had been render
ed unfit for drinking.
Touching only lightly on the ques-
| ton of beer as medicine, Mr..
Wheeler presented hundreds of petit
lions from many states, most of them
from doctors opposing any let down
! in the Volstead law under which beer
could be prescribed for the ailing.
The evidence, he declared. showed
that medical beer did not have a
chance to lift it's foaming head.
While on the subject of beer sew
eral of the members of the commit
tee took a whack at former Attorney
General Palmer for ruling as he
stepped out of office, that the Vol
stead law did not prohibit that pro-
duct as medicine.
Representative Summers, Democrat,
Texas, took. issue with such views,
declaring there was no good sense in
criticizing the opinion of Mr. Palmer
and then proposing legislation, neces-
sary only on the assumption that his
opinion had correctly interpreted the
law
eff Palmer was wrong" he said,
turning to Republican members
"why don't you so to your own at
torney general and get right opin-
ion? But whatever. you say, you
seemingly agree with him. inasmuch
as you have prepared a law to pre-
vent the very thing he ruled was le-
gal"

Betty, four years old, lives in a
modern apartment in Brooklyn, facing

squirrels in the park and the birds

friends went In search Of warmer

newest friends.
The ducks coming alight in Prospect

The other day she was walking
With her father, a duck hunter. Betty
