two are Of course necessary but heat

account of the expense.
All of these objections can be over
come by attaching the garage to the
house, but, here again, due consid-

MOSCOW SEEKING
LABOR EFFICIENCY
Prosposed Rules May Add to
Unemployment, Which Is
Increasing.
BY JUNIUS B. WOOD.
Correspondence of The Star and the Chicago
Daily News.

l
Daily News.
MOSCOW, u. S. S. r., May g.
Radical changes which the central
council OF Russia's % unions pro-
poses in the Soviet's labor laws are
expected to increase factory and office
efficiency and also swell the present
growing unemployment.
The latest figures from the Moscow
labor bourse show that there were
154 900 persons unemployed in this
city on April Is, an increase OF 49,
600 since April l. F'ifty-two per cent
| were men, Al per cent were women
and the balance We're children. I'm
skilled labor made up 81 per cent.
The unemployment during the first
two weeks of April was q per cent
greater than that of the correspond
ing time last year.
Municipal Jobs Promised.
The union council proposes to EN-.
ploy $4,000 persons in municipal
work, the laborers 70 be paid 20 cents
day and the skilled men to receive
80 cents Il day.
The peoples council of commissars
has made the following proposal for
changes in Soviet labor legislation:
1. Private employers or managers
Of state trusts shall be permitted to
make contracts with employees
2. Owners and managers shall be
permitted to discharge inefficient en-
ployes without consulting q work
mems committee.
3. A mutual agreement can be
made between a manager and his
employees for varying the daily work
ing hours so long as the latter do not
exceed 1872 a month.
4. Vacations shall start after IL
months of work instead of after D
or months.
Employment at Night.
5. Women and children shall be
permitted to work at night.
6. The age limit of children per
mitted to work without a special per
nit shall be reduced from 16 to 10.
Z. With a permit from labor in
spector children from IA to Is shall
be permitted to work, but Tor not
more than six hours a day, not nights
nor underground.
s. The age limit of children per-
mitted to work in households and In
dustries and on farms shall be re
duced from IA to II.
The labor bourse explains that the
increased cost of living which is com
pelling additional members of fam
lilies to seek employment as well as
the curtailment of factory and office
staffs causes unemployment.

British Urge Florida Boom
Spirit to Boost Own Lands

LONDON March British visitors
returning from Florida advocate the
American boom spirit for the de-
velopment of the great open spaces
Of their empire.
Not since the great rush of Eng
land nearly thousand years ago
by William the Conqueror and his
nondescript horde of adventurers has
this country experienced anything
like the Florida land boom. 1t will
be remembered that Wnliama as Duke
of Normandy, and the leading royal
realtor of his times, promised his
followers choice towns lots and
country estates in King Harold's
green little island across the chan
mel. Supporters flocked to his ban
ner.
Today, however, the problem of
the British Isles, with a population
of 47,0OO,0O0 in an area little larger
than California, is to fin dsutable
emigrants for the unpeopled places
of Canada, Australia and British
Africa.
The lure of Palm Beaches and Mi
amis beyond the seas is lacking.
Pioneering spirit seems non-existent.
Surplus population prefers the gov
ernment "dole'-unemploym pay
to possible hardships in the Can
adian northwest or the Australian
bush. Emigrants are hand-picked,
bottle-fed, stamped and approved by
medical inspectors of both British
and colonial government.
Englishmen who know America
would change all this. They have
seen the west developed by booms
that have passed but left a popula-
tion to develop rich cities and states.
Potentially the British empire offers
many such opportunities.

DISPUTE over
LEAGUE SEATS
now LOOMING
tBy DlspaIen A. 2. wira1

GENEVA, March An increase in
the number of permanent seats
in the council of the league of ma
tions allotted to Latino America, from
two to three and perpetual reserva-
tion of this third seat to Brazil, Chile
and Argentina, who will hold it in
turn, is the latest formula advanced
tonight as a partial solution of the
crisis created by the demand for
places on the council The word
''partiaI' is used advisedly, for it is
recognized that the greatest danger
in the crisis is found in PolanG's
demand for permanent seat.
Telephone and telegraph messages
from the various capitals of Europe
tonight indicated the serious nature
of the conflicts now under way. The
general belief expressed in Geneva
is that it will increase in violence
until the arrival of the statesmen
Sunday, when it will be fought out
on the soil of Geneva. The league
spokesmen are confident that the very
the diplomats to reach compromise
gravity of the dispute will force
or agreement.
