she was at liberty to go.
On her way tc the Senate hearing
Mrs. Hamon stopped at a florio.'s
and got a large. white lily. She
said that she wanted to symbolic
with the lily the fact that the
Senate was libeling a dead man.
"Oh! But I wanted to tell those
Senators that all they have been

while the members Of the committee
tried to find out why she was there.
When It developed that no one was
willing to take the responsibility Of
delving into lannon's personal az.
fairs, through the medium Of his
widow, Mrs. Hamon was told she
could go.
Jake was called a woman-chaser,
He wasn't. Whenever ] heard of

out that the woman was chasing
him. He was too busy to chase

Friends Of Mrs. Hamon feared
that she would break down under
the strain Of testifying. She was
keyed up to high pitch and only
her eagerness to clear Jake's name
gave her the fortitude to bear up.
Mrs. Hamon is WONDERFULLY naive.
She gave the impression OF being

She was timid, and relied solely

Claypool Thursday night 1t had been
reported for some time that Taggart
would support Dr. McCulfoch, but
other candidates had repeatedly ex-
pressed the opinion that >Taggart
would remain neutral.
Great Advantage Admitted
That the Taggart Endorsement will
benefit DR.. McCulloch immensely was
admitted by friends of other candi-
dates. The Taggart statement was is
sued from the Presbyterian Hospital
at Chicago, where Taggart has been
a patient. Immediately afterward, he
left for Bermuda. He will return be-

banqueters while they were in the
midst of frenzied APPROVAL OF the ac-
ton of the editorial association in in

of Ralston's name brought the crowd

that he IS not seeking it.

BUILDING TRADES iDLENESS
LARGELY UNNECESSARY SAYS
REPORT ON SEASONAL WORK

By International Labor News Service.
Washington, ID. C., Sept. Gus
tom, not climate, is mainly responsible
| for seasonal idIeness in the building
/ industries.
This is the conclusion Of a COM
mittee on seasonal operation in the
! construction industries, appointed b.
/ Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Com
merce, as a result of the Presidents
Conference on Unemployment, which
met in Washington in September,
| 1921.
The committee, composed of men
representing many phases of the
| building industries, made a thorough
study of the problem of seasonal EN-
ployment. The Carnegie Corpora
| ton of New York gave the committee
limited appropriation and contribu-
tons of funds and services were re-
ceived from several organizations, in
Guiding the American Federation of
Labor. The committee included two
representatives OF organized labor
John Donlin, President Of the Build
! ing Trades Department of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, and James
p. Noonan, President of the lnterna-
tional Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers of America.
Workers Idle Much of Year.
The committee found that building
trades workers in most American
cities are employed less than three
quarters of the year. As result the
trades are fully employed for only
three to five months. Commenting
on these facts, Mr.. Hoover says;
'fhe committee states that bad
weather is not the principal cause Of
seasonal idleness. Customs which be-
came fixed when builders had not yet
learned how to cope with adverse
weather conditions have not been
changed to meet improvements in
building materials, the development
of new equipment, and innovations
in management methods. For most
types Of construction it is now pos
sible to build the year round in all
parts of the United States.
"Organized community efforts by
representatives of the construction
industries, the professions concerned,
and the public are necessary to find
the facts as, to local handicaps, peaks
anu utpitsSlOHs III elHpiOy Iututs anu
the kinds of construction needed, and
to make the facts public as basis
for a more even demand for construc-
ton work and for the elimination Of
wasteful customs. Conscious
planning ahead with reference to sea
sonal conditions is absolutely neces-
sary to mitigate the extreme ups and
downs of construction from season
to season and from year to year,
Climate Not Chief Cause.
Contrary to popular belief" says
the committees report, bad weather
Is not the principal cause of varia-
tons in employment from month to
month. The present survey shows
that seasonal idleness is not confined
to regions where climate is severe

Dispute i'm Building Trades.

A national dispute in the building
trades seems to be developing in
Scotland, because of demand on the
part of certain operatives for an in
crease of two pence per hour, the
same being refused by employers.
Approximately 5000 workers may
ultimately be involved in the dispute.

Want Rates Set BY Law.

New York, Aug. 3O.-The taxi cab
rate war in this city is proving dis.
astrous to owners and they want the
city to make it illegal for them to cut
rates. City officials are urged to cal
a meeting of the warning parties that
an ordinance may be agreed to.

Cooperation Necessary.

OF labor in the building industries
the committee says:
THE cooperation of labor and
management is necessary to increase
production and to eliminate waste.
Records of employment, hours,
and earnings should be Systematically
kept by labor as well as management
and made available to the public.
Advertising to apprise the public
of dull periods in the building trades
can be, proftably utilized by labor.
"Since the letting of contracts for
new work is likely to be interfered
with when there is uncertainty
caused by pending wage agreements,
the committee recommends that such
agreements be concluded at least 60
and preferably 80 days or more be-
fore the date when they take effect"

coast are affected much Ike those on
the Canadian border.
The art OF construction has ad-
vanced to such a point that the ef-
feet Of bad weather on building op-
erations has been greatly reduced
The survey shows that there Is today
much less manual labor on the JOB
than formerly; a greater proportion
of the work is done in factories or by
power machinery, which Is less af-
fected by the elements than hand la
Dor. Steel ami concrete construc-
ton with certain safeguards can go
forward al low temperatures. Meth
DDS of winter construction developed
by leading contractors should now be
greatly extended. Winter work Is
being done in some cases more
cheaply than summer work, and in
others at an increase in COS. which
is slight compared with the adyan-
tages of holding down the contrac-
or's overhead expense by keeping
his organization together, the shorter
time that the owners capital Is tied
up in the operation, and the earlier
date at which OCCUPANCY is made pos
sible.'
