Ex-Sailor, Jobless, Solves Work Problem
by Doing Washings!

FAIRMONT, w. Va. April s. -
Ever an optimist, despite almost a
year of fruitless Job hunting, Roy
Schuman. 1S-year-old former sailor,
Is making a success Of taking in
washings TO support himself and his
invalid parents.
Schuman was discharged from
the navy in February, 1921. He ar
rived home 10 find his parents I'll
and unable to support themselves.
Don't worry" he told them. 'T'll
get something to do and it'll be
ea0ier for US"
Spring came, then summer and
autumn, but all the work Roy had
been able 10 find was just enough
odd jobs to keep him from losing
hope.
Solves Problem.
Just when things began 70 look
pretty black, Roy got the idea that
was to solve his problem. Since his
return from the navy. he had been
doing his mothers washings-and
doing them well. the neighbors said.
II he could do washings for his own
family. why, he asked himself,
couldn't he do them just as well for
outsiders.
Against the advice OF some older
people and in spite of the jibes OF
scoffers. Roy went TO the proprietor
of a department store and explained
his plan.
Interested in the scheme, the pro-
prictor sold him an electric washing
machine and an electric iron on
easy terms. With these Roy went
home and started TO work.
In three months he mas picked up
a record business and ~ IS growing
larger daily.
Down in the basement OF the
Schuman home, you car near ct al
most any hour OF the day The slosh-
ing and whirring OF the electric
washer and up from below comes the
smell OF hot. soapy things being
made clean. The Schuman home is
encircled by filed clothes-hnes.
Each morning Roy goes out with
basket and collects the wash for
that day and in the evening he car

Washington, Aug. 21.-samuel
Gompers, president Of the American
Federation Of Labor. expressed the
opinion Sat. that President Harding
had, added to the difficulties Of the
present Industrial situation by his
message of Friday and likewise had
chosen an unfortunate time for its de-

The chief labor leader, in a critical
discussion OF the presidents message,
announced that his organizations
would oppose any legislation carrying
out the suggestions that the railroad
labor board be given power to enforce
it's decisions. or to allow the federal
government to punish crimes against
aliens, such as those alleged to have
been committed during the Herrin, Ill.
massacre, while he described the
presidents proposals for legislation to
control coal distribution as probably
impractical"
TT was unfortunate that the presi-
dent should ave gone to congress

coal miners had just effected an agree
ment with a part of the bituminous
operators. On the morning before the
president spoke, the representatives Of
railroad workers and executives Of
the railroads were in conference over
the rail strike. Progress was being
made, but they took a recess over the
noon hour. When the executives I'M

st. Paul. Minn.-Ontario is going

That the Canadian province is go

reference to the number OF. tourists
and the approximate amount Of
money spent by them in Minnesota
in the last two or three years.
According to Mr.. Lane, the legisla-

in the tourist business and has de-
cided to thoroughly investigate the
possibilities Of repeating in Ontario
what has been done in Minnesota.
