VISITOR OF LAST WINTER
 HONORED AT MOBILE

Betty Benville in the Mobile Register of Sunday comments on Miss Sallie Blocker Thornton of Mo bile who spent last winter in our city as the guest of her aunt, Mrs F. W. Bromberg:
 am showing you a picture of an- other lovely girl, Sallie Blocker Thornton, the youngest daughter of the J. B. Thorntons, whose friends as we'll as her family are rejoicing in having her home this season, as spending the winter with the family of her Aunt Jennie Smith Bromberg. And though this is her first year at home, she is not making her debut. That being a pleasure deferred until next year, but as she is much too lovely to be a rose born to blush un- seen, her Aunt Annie Smith per suaded her to share honors with one or this seasons charming debutantes, Helen Jacobs (borrowed from Kansas City) when the two aunts of these young belles-Mrs. Harry Toulmin Smith and Mrs. Lester Campbell gave a dance in compliment to them at the Country club Friday night.
 Sallie Blocker sat for her picture in the same exquisite crystal robe over green silver cloth in which she appeared at the dance and I over- beautiful carnival queen she would make, being tall and of the proper carriage to wear crown and carry a court train. But I simply said her. She may be, next season. Who knows what will happen when the carnival committee makes choice for queen in the year 1925?

NOTORIOUS open
SHOP" ON COAST
NOW CLOSED UP

By International Labor News Service.
San Francisco. - The so-ealled
American Plan,'" under fire by the
Government here, is deader than the
proverbial doornail throughout the
Pacific Northwest. This is the report
of Joseph Clarke, vice-president of
the international Brotherhood of
Painters, Decorators and Paperhang-
ers of America, who has returned
from an official tour through Wash
ington and Oregon.
Union shop agreements with wage
increases have recently been nego-
tiated by practically all building
trades in Portland, according to
Clarke. These agreements were ne
gotisted directly by the Portland
Building Trades Council with the
Building Contractors Association of
that city.
In Seattle, according to Clarke, the
Building Trades Council is back on
its feet" all unions back in the coun-
Gill; the so-called american Plan" is
wiped off the map, and the council has
negotiated union shop agreements
providing for wage increases for prac-
tically every union in the council.
The same satisfactory conditions
maintain in the building industry in
Tacoma and throughout the entire
Pacific Northwest, says Clarke.
In Salt Lake City the so-called
american Plan" has gone by the
boards after struggle of three years,
which resulted in complete victory
for the unions, says Clarke.
All union painters in San Francisco
are employed at union wages, Clarke
reports.

WOMEN'S S-HOUR
BILL TRAVELS
ROCKY ROAD

Springfield, Ill.-The women's s.
hour bill, recently passed by the state
house of representatives, has been
turned into a weapon of oppression
by the senate. Organized labor has
discovered the "joker" but Is conf
dent a majority of the senator's will
acknowledge they were caught nap
ping.
Senator Hicks of Rockford induced
his colleagues to amend the house bill
by authorizing the state industrial
commission to make rules for the
work day in various industries. The
plan also provides that a court may
pass upon the commissions orders.
In opposing this amendment, Off
GERS of the state feredation of labor
say,
1.-THE power conferred upon the
commission is of such a peculiar ma
ture that it may, on one extreme, au-
thorize the employment OF women
and girls in certain places IL or Ia
hours day or even longer, while, II
II chooses to go to the other extreme,
it may, in effect, practically bar
women and girls from certain employ
ments. In some respects, therefore
the Hicks amendment would set up an
industrial cour. whose regulatory OF
prohibitive powers, through the chan
Gerry jurisdiction of the regular courts,
might ultimatel ybe directed against
the persons of the women and girls
instead of only against the firms and
corporations which employ them.
There is some evidence, however,
that the Hicks amendment was adopt
ed by the senate without any clear
understanding of its terms"

HIGH WAGES BOOM
ING TRADE, SAYS
RESERVE BOARD

BY International Labor News Service.
Washington, d. c., June 81
Chalk up another big score for the
economic views of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor!
The strongest possible support of
the Federation's contention that high
wages mean prosperity is given by the
u. 5. Federal Reserve Board, which
keeps in close touch with business
conditions of the nation.
Says the Reserve Board in its
monthly review of business and in
dustrial conditions:
Increased buying power of
wage earners arising from fuller
employment and wage advances
has been reflected in greater
demand for consumers goods and
expansion in retail trade"
Endorsement of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor's views could hardly
be stronger. What makes the state
ment doubly significant is that it
comes from a body whose relations
are almost wholly with bankers and
which reflects the opinions of the
banking fraternity, which has little
sympathy with organized labor.
But even stronger endorsement of
organized labor's views is given by
the Reserve Board, which goes on to
say:
Factories employing over 100000
workers and representing various
lines of industry in all parts of the
United States report increases during
the past year of q per cent in the
number of their employees, and, as
the result of fuller employment and
increased wages, of 53 per cent in the
amount of their pay rolls.
Growth in consumers demand Is
reflected in the sales of 5-and-l 0cent
stores and of department stores
which during the first four months OF
1928 were 10 per cent larger thar
during the corresponding period OF
last year. The slight decline in sales
during April was chiefly seasonal in
! character.
| "An element in the increased buy.
| ing power of consumers has been that
the cost of living has increased rela,
lively little and the margin over
necessary living expenses available
for other expenditures or for savings
has been larger. Evidence of this
surplus is found in the steady growth
of savings deposits month by month
the volume of savings accounts il
about 900 reporting banks distributed
throughout the ~ Federal reserve
districts being 10 per cent larger OF
May l, 1928, than year earlier.
"ln view of the present wage in
come there can be no doubt as to the
buying power of industrial workers
and there has been little, if any, in,
dication of slackening in the consum
ers' demand for goods"

What The new YORK
CENTRAL HAS Learned
ABOUT STRIkEBREAkERS

Prepare to weep all you union men, as you read the
following Illuminating tale, while expressions such as
1.-THE bitter bit" and when thieves fall out" etc. fit
through your heads: .s. Il ..s&4s.sss 3
The New York Central Railroad, it seems, is being
sued in New York by John j. Ascher described
the shopmen walked out in july 1922 The precious Asch
has already been paid 1854 93 for his Services but he
wants more $780, to be exact
The New York Central disputes Aschers claim and
charges that far from owing him money he really
the railroad padded his bills from 80 to per cent
AS consequence the railroad has put in counter claim
for S25l 055 alleged Overpaymens to Ascher within the
last six years From this it is evident that Ascher has
ben working" the railroad for considerable period
In support of its claim, the railroad submitted an af
davit by John La Rock of its claim department. in which
of the railroads Investigations of the strike bills
were revealed and the charge of heavy padding made For
instance it is charged that three boxes of the ow prune
purchased in Albany for $108S and billed the rail
road 800 pounds costing S75 of raisins sold
for So. 70 was billed 150pounds $3.50.
"From the investigation that have made in every
class of the bills submitted which this opinion is based
said La Rock 81 of the opinion that there is not a
padded and swollen with fictitious and fraudulent items
From the foregoing account it would appear that the
New York Central set out to cheat the union shopmen of
their just dues and in turn cheated by those whom
hired to turn the trick While all this was going on the
railroad executives crying bitter tears and loudly
complaining that to give in to the shopmen would mean
ruin However, after the Central had been we'll "sung
an agreement with the shopmen and since the union men
have been back its earnings have been good that there
general expectation that it viii soon increase its dvi
dend rate.

MORE MEN ON FARMS
Sex Ratio Is 1901 Males to 10C
Females, Statistics Show.
Census Bureau Figures That Larger
Number of Women Than Men Are
Leaving Farms for Other
Fields of Endeavor.

Washington. = Larger numbers Of
women than men are leaving the
farms in search of more lucrative
fields of endeavor, the census bureau
says, basing its statement on an analy-
sis of the 1920 census statistics.
The enumeration shows the ratio OF
males to females was higher for farm
population than for the total popula.
tion, despite the fact that the foreign.
born element, in which the males con.
slderably outnumber the females. is
found mainly in the cities.
The sex ratio of farm population on
January 1, 1920, was 1901 males tc
100 females, while the ratio for the
entire population was 1O4 males to
100 females.
OF the number of farm dwellers,
totaling 31,614,2 males number 49,.
496,33S and females 15,117,931. OF
the total farm population 49.5 per
cent was twenty-one years and over
PAT per cent between ten and twenty
years, and 25.7 per cent under ten
years. Those twenty-one years and
over numbered 15632,O9S. For the
country as whole those 21 years and
over compromised 576 per cent Of the
total population.
The farm population, therefore, in
cludes relatively large proportion of
persons under twenty-one and rela-
lively small proportion twenty-one
years and over.
The difference in age distribution
is declared by the census bureau tc
be due largely to the fact that the
of persons who leave the
farm to take up their residence else
where have reached or passed twexty-
one.
