BARRIERS INT. CONVENTION
Interesting Report of J. H. Sharritt
Delegate From Local ia

Indianapolis, Ind.
The Journeymen BARRIERS Interna-
tional Union of America Convention
convened in this city on Tuesday
morning, September 9, and has been
in continuous session each day since
that date. AS it appears at this time,
September 16, we will be able to get
away sometime Thursday of this
week.
This will be considered, without
doubt, the greatest convention so far
in the thirty-seven years of this or
ganization's existence. 1t has grown
from a mere handful Of delegates,
twenty years ago, to its present
standing, when almost 1000 delegates
have been seated during this conven-
ton. The writer has never had the
privilege before this gathering as 1t
is. from every section Of these United
States and Dominion of Canada, of
seeing such a fine assenblage of men
at work. To look over such a large
number with but single purpose IN
mind-that of improving the organ
ization that already has done so much
was certainly worth while. To be
fully convinced of the value of or
ganization, either among journeymen
or employers, is to spend a couple OF
weeks in the city of Indianapolis, the
notorious open shop city of the United
States. | wish | could draw a mental
picture of the conditions under which
the businessmen must conduct their
business. There is no uniformity.
Everyone appears to be trying to out
bid the other fellow, until there seems
to be no such a thing as a closing
hour. Some Of the open shoppers of
Newark should move to this city, and
| am sure that they would not be
long in arriving at the conclusion that
it is good for the businessman when
the employees teach him the lesson of
Trade Unionism.
This Convention Of BARRIERS has
done much, l am sure, toward bring
ing about a better understanding of
the needs of a check in the conduct
of business; such as organization of
employees gives to it, and believe be-
fore another five years rolls around
when we are to meet here again,
different story will be told of the con-
ditions in this city.
1t would be taking up entirely to
mucn Oh your NdIudDle space IL
should undertake to tell your readers
of the many changes made by this
convention that particularly pertain
to the membership of the BARRIERS
union. One at least is of some inter
est to the public. That is the admis-
sion of the lady BARRIERS to the ranks
of the local union. This question has
been before several other conventions,
but each time it was defeated. But
the times change, and it has, because
there did not appear to be much op-
position at this time. However the
question of how, and on what basis
they were to be admitted was debat-
ed for and against very strenously,
and finally resulted that they were
to be accepted on the same basis as
male members.
Not wishing to further trespass on
your space, l remain,

action in requesting the Scioto Valley
Milk Producers Association and other
farm organizations to send fraternal
delegates to the Trades and Labor
Assembly was lawful, the matter was
put up to Frank Morrison, secretary
of the American Federation of Labor.
Mr.. Morrison replied that farm
ers organizations may be represented
by fraternal delegates, without vote,
in central body. The A. F. of l..
is doing all it can to establish frater-
nal cooperation between Labor or
ganizations and Farmers organiza-
tions."
No delegates to a Central Body af-
filiated with the A. F. of L. are en-
titled to vote unless the organization
they represent is also affiliated.

GILBERT IN PARIS
OVER TAX CRISIS
Reparations Agent Trying to
Solve First Issue Under
Dawes Plan.
~ Cable 10 The Star and New York World

By Cable 20 The Star and New York world.
BERLIN, November %. - Repars-
ton Agent General Gilbert has gone
TO Paris in an endeavor TO end the
first crisis encountered in the opera
ton of the Dawes plan. This Is the
conflict over the French Law imposing q
26 per cent tax upon imports from
Germany. to be applied to the repara-
tions account. This law stands In the
way of successful negotiations for a
trade treaty.
The German government takes the
stand that Great Britain's tax Is JUS
ttfed because IL was already in force
when the Dawes plan was adopted
but that France did not promulgate
its tax until after the London treaties
were signed. In a semi Official state
ment tonight the government states
that II other countries follow Frances
example the time Will come when the
reparations agent general will not be
In a position to reimburse German
exporters.
The whole thing is a question of
the method OF paying reparations.
The tax levied by France goes on the
reparations account. But the German
exporters state they are compelled 10
pay the tax in cash when extending
credit to their customers at the same
time, giving their competitors an un-
fair advantage. Finance Minister
Luther insists no trade treaty can be
made without the repeal Of this tax.

HOSPITAL TO RUN
CAFE DESPITE RULE
Controller General Himself
Indicates Way Employees
May Get Service.

Although Controller General NcCarl
has handed down a ruling which
orders discontinuance of the present
method of conducting the cafeteria
at st. EIizabeth's Hospital on or be-
fore December 81. assurances were
given by hospital authorities last
night that some means will be found
to continue the cafeteria under the
law, in order that the 1900 employees
of the hospital may not be deprived
of the service now rendered.
Controller General McCarl held that
main tenance and operation Of lunch
rooms and restaurants "hy the use
of appropriations for the current
operating expenses Of departments
is not authorized. ...'es
Way Out Is Indicated.
Means Of getting around the diffi-
Guilty, however, were pointed out by
Mr.. McCarl himself IN his decision,
in which he said: Tho maintenance
and operation OF the cafeteria by a
committee of employees or other pri-
vato interests would not be objected
to by this Office in view of the ex-
listing practice pursuant to decisions
OF controllers of the Treasury and
the conditions existing at the hos
pital."
1t was learned last night that three
possibilities are being considered by
the authorities in charge OF st. Eliza
beth's. Some are of the opinion that
the appropriations committee of the
House should be asked for the loan"
Of current operating funds. with the
provise that they should be returned
out Of profits from the cafeteria.
Others prefer leasing out the place
to private concern. Still others
prefer a cooperative enterprise to be
run by a committee of employees.
The large and successful cafeteria
operated atop the Government Print
ing Office is q cooperative affair, it
was explained last night by officials
Of that Office.
Other Instances Cited.
The Controller General takes Of
fetal cogniZance of other restaurants
and cafeterias within the Govern
ment establishments in his ruling
against the system at st. Elizabeth's.
but goes on to say: I'm no case
known to this Office are they being
maintained and operated directly by
such departments and establishments
that Is. by the use of appropriations
for paying the operating expenses"
In a letter submitting the question
for consideration, the superintendent
of st. Elizabeth's explained that this
food Is served on a cafeteria plan,
each employe paying for the exact
amount of food he receives just after
1t is served to him. The money is
then deposited in the office Of the
hospital and used to reimburse the
current appropriation, and from this
money the various bills incurred for
food are paid, including gas and the
pay roll"

THEATER AUTO TRAFFIC
PROBLEM NOW SOLVED
New York Ends Congestion at Cur

and Calling System.
By the Associsted Press.

By the Associsted Press.
NEW YORK. November 22.-The
perplexing problem of Broadway's
theater-time motor traffic has been
solved, 1t was declared today by
Police Department officials, after a
thorough test. of the recent orders.
There is no more confusion and
almost no delay for those who reach
the amusement center in their own
machines, the statement says.
One innovation is the establish
ment of a waiting line for each of
the rs theaters given special atten-
tion by the department. These park
ing places have been outside Of the
lanes of greatest congestion, but
always within q short walk of the
particular theater, for which they are
intended.
In some cases there are lines for
several theaters established In the
same block. Where this has been
done, the machines intended for the
play with the earliest final curtain
are located so that they may de-
part without being forced to dodge
the automobiles waiting for the end
of other performances. The police
man in charge Of the lineup is given
a schedule of final hours, and two
minutes before the last fall Of the
curtain he blows his whistle to get
the machines going.
Even the Metropolitan Opera House
under the new arrangement, is
emptied Of its motoring patrons
within 10 minutes after the orchestra
leader drops his baton, according to
the record kept by the police. The
smaller theaters are able TO disgorge

MUSSOL|N| UPHELD
BY BIG MAJORITY
Premier Shows Very Conf
ciIiatory Attitude in Ap-
peal for Confidence.
Ry the Associated Press.


ROME, November 22.-The Chamber
Of Deputies today voted confidence
in the Mussolini government, 337 TO
II.
Premier Mussol.ni closed the de-
bate, which centered on the govern
ment's internal policy. He concluded
with an appeal for a vote of conf
dence. Mussolini displayed the most
conciliatory attitude since the Fas-
cisti came into power; there were
none of the big stick" methods that
have so often characterized his par
liamentary utterances.
The premier argued that whatever
may have been the faults of the Fas-
Iclst government 1t was by far the
best that could possibly have been
given the country, and with the con
tinued confidence OF the party IL still
would be able to bring Italy through
troubled years to pacification for
which the whole nation yearned.
Answering his critics, including
former Premier Orlando, who charged
during the course of the debate the
government with violation OF the
constitution, Mussolini outlined the
work he had been engaged in for
the past year In his efforts to nor
malize the national life.
Striving for Remedies.
The premier declared that the op-
position failed to realize that the gov
ernment always conscious Of the de-
fects for which It had been criticized,
had been earnestly working to find a
remedy.
I'VE are going forward to normal
conditions" he said. but It 10 nor
absolutely perfect nor yet are we
moving very fast. Perfection never
existed in Italy, and there is almost
no bellingerent country where any
appreciable degree OF perfection or
normslization has yet been attained.
$50 long as there are men, nobody
can pacify them all. The best we
can hope TO do is TO find a middle
course of social compromise. What I
am determined TO attain Is that the
Fascist party shall disturb public
order less than any other. But alb
soiute peace never existed in Italy a
least"
