Child Labor Law.

vention, urged cooperation with the
American Federation of Labor. he
praised confirmation of I. J. Duffy's
re-appointment to state industrial
commission and attacked Occupational
tax as being economically unsound
and a flagrant injustice to the wage
Garner. Urged amendment to prison
made goods law to stop exploitation
of prison-made goods in state. Urged
whole souled congratulations to min
ers of Ohio for spirit and loyalty to
principles of trade unionism. Urged

eighty-sixth general assembly-the
bill to nullify the yellow dog" con-
tracts with labor, and the bill to pro-
vide that during an industrial dis
pute the trade unionist shall not lose
his citizen rights; that what he does
as an individual citizen he has right
to do as an industrial trade unionist.

Greetings:
| hereby submit my report as your
delegate to the 42nd Annual Conven-
ton of the Ohio State Federation of

vention. Two were non-concurred in
by the committees and the committee

tuition brought about considerable dis
cusson, in fact the committee report
and recommendation were the only
report that there was any discussion

of the Executive Board, covered ev-
cry subject of interest to labor, in
most mastery manner.

City.

Traffic Lanes
Make Motoring
Safer, Is Claim

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 16.-There
is no advantage in building forty
foot pavement unless traffic can be
induced to make the fullest possible
use Of the entire width Of the road
way, it is asserted by State High
way Engineer X. N. Morton.
Morton's assertion was made in
explaining the reason for the paint.
ing Of traffic lanes on sections OF
the Peninsula Highway in San Mateo
county, near Baresford.
The pavement has been divided
into four traffic lanes. Slow traf-
fic is expected to move in the two
outer lanes on the heavy concrete
shoulders. The faster traffic is
confined to the center lanes.
In this way, Morton believes
traffic can be speeded up and the
pavement made to serve q greater
volume Of traffic with more safety
and comfort to drivers.

IN FUTURE WARS
By United Press Leased Wire

LONDON, Nov. l6--The popular
demand for abolition Of submarines es
iii the wake of trag.c loss of the un
dersea monitor MI grew throughout
Great Britain today as Parliament
convened for its winter session.
There was q prospect that the
question of banning the "wasps of
the sea- would come to the atten.
ton of Parliament.
The movement started at the
week end when Lady Astor, Ameri.
can born member Of Parliament, de.
clared her readiness to travel
through the world enlisting wo-
mems support for abolition Of this
weapon.
Meantime, eight German divers
brought on from Wilhelmshaven de-
parted with Il number of British re-
lief divers at midnight aboard the
lifting lighter Moordale to hunt IL
miles south southwest of Start
Point for the sunken craft.
Equipped with a new German div
ing apparatus which permits div
ers to 90 down nearly so fathoms,
the divers proposed to examine five
objects located in the vicinity, one
Of which may be the MI.
If the submarine is located, 1t IS
planned to send down two volunteer
British divers to investigate inde-
Dendently.

Given Fine Time

Local members of the Mystic
Shrine warmly greeted upwards of
100 of the lodge brothers from San
Diego who arrived here Saturday
afternoon, nc dompanied by their
band and patrol Of so men.
The Shriners reached this city at

KING TUT WORE
WONDERFUL GOLD
JEWELS IN TOMB

CAIRO, Nov. l6.-Tut Akh Amen,
boy king buried in the Valley of
Kings, was adorned in jewelry of
heavy solid gold, beautiful beyond
the expectations of those of the
Howard Carter expedition who have
been stripping away the secrets of
his tomb.
King Tut's wrapping are now
partly removed and as the work of
taking off these proceeded there
came to light amulets, collarettes,
superb gold dagger with crystal
handle, bracelets of intricate and
exquisite workmanship, huge sea-
rabs inscribed with names Of kings
of Egypt and other adornments rich
in value and wrought in marvellous
forms.
The work of unswathing the
kings body, difficult because of the
fact that the bindings are stepped in
gluey substances, perhaps funeral
libations, has confirmed that the
king was a mere youth and that his
body is very emaciated, possibly
ravaged by wasting ailment.
They have found that the feet
bear golden sandals and that each
toe and finger is sheathed in gold.
Both the right and left forearms
are laden with wonderful jewels
the whole a remarkable record Of
the wealth and culture Of the Egypt
Of the past.

that the appellate court has revers-
ed the finding Of the local superior
court in the case Of Auditor Walter
ID. Carey, versus County Clerk

months salary. An appeal was
taken resulting in q reversal after

ing that previous to the appoint
ment Of J. F. Carlson as county pur-
chasing agent. he had followed the
precedent set by Major Cook, form
er county clerk, who drew SIS per

holding two positions was thrashed
out and decision reached that only
one office could be held. the auditor
refused to honor the warrants pre-
sented by the county clerk as salary
for acting as purchasing agent. The
suit was then filed against the
