Street Warmers Keep
Traffic Cops Feet
Warm

In Amsterdam, Holland, elec-
trically heated plates are set
into the pavement at points
where traffic officers are posted
to keep their feet warm dur
ing bitter winter weather.
When these Dutch cops come
on duty they turn on the switch
that controls the pavement foot
warmers, and. no matter how
biting the breeze from the
North Sea, do not have to
worry about getting their feet
frost-bitten.
This system has proved 50
satisfactory that similar install
lations are being seriously con-
sidered for the principal mar
kets for the comfort of the
men and women, VINO bring in

A. F. of L. Convention
At Ell PasO Next Week

Washington-The forty-fourth an
nual convention of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor will be held at Ell
Paso, Texas, commencing November
17th. The sessions will be held in
Liberty Hall and the headquarters of
the executive officers will be at the
Paso del Norte Hotel. A special rail
road fare of one and half for the
round trip has been arranged for,
providing a sufficient number will be
in attendance.
AS this convention will be held in
a city situated along the Mexican
border, we are told the Mexican un-
ions will hold a convention at the
same time just across the border in
Juarez, no doubt fraternal visits of
good will and cooperation will be
made by the two conventions, Furth-
ermore there is an added attraction
for our delegates, in Mexico, for
those so inclined will have a chance
to wet their whistle. AS usual, no
doubt, a large amount of business of
a routine nature will come up for ac-
ton.

DAVIS ON THE SHELF

1t is hardly probable that Harry L.
Davis will appear before Ohio voters
again for office. Running more than
a half million votes behind the head
of the ticket is not conducive of
maintaining a further following by
any man. With two more years in
office assured Governor Donahey will
begin at once preparing his budgets
for the next two years, and his mess
age to the general assembly which
promises to be of most construc-
tive nature. 1t is reasonably certain
that all the present members of his
cabinet will be reappointed for anoth-
er term, and being familiar with the
duties of their office after two years
experience, they will without question
accomplish more during the next two
years than they have in the past, and
unless all signs fail history will be
made in the progress of Ohio within
that time.

Use of Soft Drinks
Increasing in Ohio

Columbus, o. = Many interesting
facts are contained in review of the
bottled beverage industry in Ohio
lust issued by the Division of Dairy
and Foods. Not only did the people
of the state part with thirty-five
million dollars for these products the
past year, but the fact is also reveal
ed that about one-twelfth of the total
distribution in the United States was
made in Ohio. Based on the usual
retail price of five cents a bottle, the
average consumption in this state
was 120 bottles per person.
1t is also noted that about fifty
thousand dollars was spent by state
fair patrons for soft drinks this year.
This averages about two bottles to
each patron and represents a larger
expenditure than was made for any
other food product on the grounds
during the week.
These figures indicate good work
accomplished by the Division of Dairy
and Foods in maintaining strict su-
pervision over this industry as we'll
as the splendid cooperation afforded
by bottlers and dealers. By establish
ing uniform purity and high quality
of this product, the public confidence
has been gained and sales greatly in
creased.
The value of registering the bottles
used with the Secretary of State is
pointed out. This eliminates the un-
scrupulous dealer that reduces his
operating expenses by using equip
ment that he is not entitled to.

The Waltham Watch

Waltham, Mass. - Following a
meeting at which Secy. Howard M.

Protective Assn. announced that
President Frederick C. Dumaine of

gotiate with the striking watch work
ers, the audience of strikers paraded

Mayhew, were arrested.
The workers have maintained their

months. Their newly formed organ
ization has voted favorably on affil-

Cherles G. Wood have been investi-
gates by the Boston and Waltham

clearly to have favored the employ
ers by his letter to the striking
workers urging them to accept the
wage cut, the third given this year.

SO-Called Anarchists
HOnOred in Chicago
(By Federated Press)

Chicago-The 37th anniversary of
the hanging of four Chicago labor
men, styled by the newspapers as an
archists, was observed at their graves
Nov II. The men, Albert R. Parsons
Adolph Fischer, August Spies and
George Engel suffered the legal
lynching not because of their views
on government but because they were
powerful agitators for the 8-hou1
working day, an issue that was as
"Ced'' to the ruling powers in 1886 as
J ,bmmunism is today.
NfVindicated six years later by Gov.
>Algeld of Illinois, they could not be
restored to life from the gallows and
the grave but their three fellow de-
PENDANTS who had been sentenced to
life Imprisonment were given free
dom.
The 8-hour day agitators had held a
May day meeting in 1886 in the Hay
market square, Chicago, which was
charged by a battalion of police
although there had been no disorder.
Suddenly a bomb was thrown by an
unknown person whose identity was
never discovered and several police
men were killed. The speakers and
managers of the outdoor meeting
were arrested, the newspapers and
preachers whipped up the lynching
spirit and the men were railroaded
to the gallows.

Hard Cider Legal
For Home Drinking

| Baltimore-In the trial of Repre-
sentative John Philip Hill in federal
court for alleged violations of the
| Volstead act, Judge Morris A. Soper
ruled that zone half of one percent"
clause in the Volstead law does not
apply to beverages made in the home
for home consumption.
Judge Sopher said: Congress
seems to have used the words mon in
toxicating' differently on one section
than it did another. To my mind
congress plainly intended that per-
sons manufacturing cider and wine
exclusively for use in their homes
should be in class by themselves or
otherwise there is no apparent need
for this section (section 29.)
"The only reasonable explanation
for congress singing out home made
cider and wine and makers is that
congress did not intend to punish men
for such manufacture unless the bev-
erage is Intoxicating in fact.
"This opinion seems to be borne out
by an opinion expressed in the Unit
ed States senate in September, 1919,
when the Volstead act was being de-
bated by the chairman of the COM
mittee in charge of the bill. He ex-
pressed opinion when this section was
added to the bill by amendment that
cider and fruit juices made exclusive
ly for use in the home must be in
toXicating in fact"

not go back into either of the two old
parties. The first of a series Of
monthly progressive mass meetings

There are municipal elections in 1925
and congressional contests in 1926.
Albert F. Coyle, defeated Progress
sive candidate for congress in Theo-
dore Burton's Republican district, will
contest the count, charging gross
Republican frauds. Appealing to the
civic conscience of citizens regardless
of political bias, Coyle has started a
movement to secure statewide clean
ballot law, the use of crook-proof vot-
ing machines in cities Of more than
100000, and classification of candi-
dates according to office on the bal
lot, so as to prevent straight tickets
regardless of merit. Coyle has the
support of leading newspapers of
Cleveland.
