Originally the Lewis School taught

established as correspO ndence

need Of resident training was made
evident, SO that IN 1920 the first

then, the growth has been phenonn-
nal.
As each class IL formed. scores
are turned away due to the fact
that the proper training can be
given to limited numbers only.
New classes are constantly being
formed as fast as the existing equip.

on September II. 1926, the new
fall classes begin, giving thorough
instruction IN Hotel Management,

Headgear Workers to
Get Bigger Unemployed
Benefits from Union

NEW YORK. Nov. 29.-Two changer
in the unemployment fund OF the Cloth
Hat, Cap and Millinery Workers
Union have been decided upon by the
committee in charge. The changes
will be recommended to the member
ship as constitutional changes. One
provides that unemployment benefits
be increased from $40 to $1s for men
and from 81 to SO for women. The
other is that lost time OF laid-off or
part-time workers shall be counted
when 1t amounts to % hours or more
during the respective week. The old
provision was the time did not count
for such workers until after 20 hours.
Workers employed on half time-half
weeks-during the slack season bene-
fit by the latter change.
Chairman ]. NJ. Budish of the un-
employment committee reported on
the fund activities to the unions joint
council. The entire period OF tina
funds existence was covered by Blu
dish. including the financial report OF
ments by manufacturers to the fund
started Sept. IL, 1924. A reserve was
allowed to accumulate in the first 10
months of the fund. First payment OF
benefits began July 1, 1925. The re
serve was then sS6.6O19O. The total
income of the fund in the % months
OF existence amounted to s169,36e.ss
"a per cent Of payrolls from employ
ers, plus interest on the reserve.
Total benefits paid out during the
year July 1, 1925, to June 30, 1926,
came to s65,3S3. Total administers
ton expenses were S7,15s.55 for the
whole % months. The administers
tive expenses, slightly over per cent
of the total income, are remarkably
small, the Headgear Worker, official

ance of the fund IN the bank July !,

STRIKE THREAT
BRINGS ACTION
ON GRIEVANCES
Anthracite Miners Put
Issue Squarely
BY ART SHIELDS,
Federated Press)

SCRANTON, Pa, Nov. 20. - The
strike threat by the general grievance
committee OF Hudson Coal Co. en-
ployes, representing $4,000 workers in
% local unions, will not be put into
execution at present. Umpire Neill,
who had been given a week to take up
the grievance of the Grassy Island
colliery workers about the cut in their
rock prices, came to the bat in the
scheduled time and final investiga-
ton into the case has been ordered.
This case is three years old. The
affair is interesting as showing how
mine grievances can drag on indefi-
nitely until the companies are faced
with little unpleasant action.
Three years ago the Grassy Island
miners used to be allowed a time pay
allowance for the labor of removing
rock from the middle Of the vein.
They were allowed pay for 40 hours
or five shifts, every semi-monthly pay,
in addition to the payment per ton
for the coal loaded. Five shifts at
$3.50 per shift, the day rate, put more
than $40 into their envelopes as an
extra, above their tonnage pay. But
three years ago Hudson Coal decided
to cut down the rate and the men
found themselves getting IS, Sc and
81 for the rock work, instead of the
forty-odd.
1t was big slash and the union
took the case before the Cancellation
board representing miners and opera
tors, on the grounds that the company
had no right to change rate during
the term of an agreement. 1t went
on to the umpire, who decided in prin-
ciple in favor Of the men, but failed
to fix the rate. Again back to the
local union and the superintendent it
climbed up thru the Cancellation board
to the umpire. The custom calls for
an umpires Aecision in month, but
Neill had thd case three months with
out action. SO the grievance com
mittee speeded things up by the strike
threat.
Neil came TO Scranton, and after
scolding the grievance committee for
its strike ultimatum, took up the case.
Thru his arranging the management
agreed to have union committee go
into the mine and measure the rock
that has to be removed, for the pur-
pose OF agreeing again on rate for
this dead work.
The strike threat did not have tie
sympathy OF the district union execu-
tives. The Hudson Coal grievance
committee, like all the anthracite com
pany grievance committees. is made
up of the combined local union griev-
ance committees.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 20. -
American imports from the Soviet
Union for the Soviet fiscal year end
ing Sept. 80, were about $4,000, 900,
according to reports Of the American.
Soviet trading organizations in this
country made public here today by the
Russian Information Bureau. During
the previous year exports reported by

aries. The figure compares with ex-
ports of s870Ss,O22 reported by the
trading companies in 1924-25 and
S40,73O,000 in 1913. The American
imports increased nearly 70 percent
and exports decreased about 81 per
cent, as compared with 1924-25.
The trade turnover of 100000, 900
compares with $1OS,OO0,O 900 in 192425.
This difference is accounted for by a
decrease in rs per cent in the cotton
purchases here and by the fact that
during 192425 American exports were
increased by Soviet purchases of flour
worth $21 100000, necessitated by the
poor harvest of 1924.
Cotton valued at 3,4S6OOO led the
list Of American exports to the Soviet
Union, followed by agricultural ma
chinery $S,O9S,OOO (including tractors
worth $6,O99,S2S), industrial machin-
cry S6,S19,3OO, materials for transport,
including trucks and motor buses,
$2,295,400, non-ferrous metals S2,O34.-

Miss Silverman said the commits
sion had been appointed by the legis-
lature for the purpose Of holding up
important reforms in the state labor
law and the Workmens Compensa-
ton law, demanded by the New York
State Federation of Labor. She de-
nounced the commission for giving
first consideration to employers at
tacks on the labor movement, when
the workers were being 50 shamefully
neglected by the states labor and
compensation laws.
Interruption Falls.
Henry d. Sayre, former state indus
trial commissioner, and executive
secretary of the industrial Survey
Commission, constantly interrupted
the witness and attempted to defend
the states compensation law, but he
was partly silenced as her recital OF
the gaps in the law proceeded. Sayre
is connected with an insurance firm
that represents employers in compen-
sation cases.
Miss Silverman's statement dwelt
on the lack of a blanket occupational
disease law in the state-a reform
that Connecticut, California, Wiscon-
sin, the federal government, Porto
Rico and Hawaii have already enact
ed. Only a few occupational diseas-
es are compensated in the Empire
State. Workers crippled or blinded
by certain widely used poisons, dusts
and gases are given no protection
Her statement cited the following,
among scores of basic occupational
diseases ignored by the present law:
Deadly Poisons.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning, pro-
nounced by Professor C. E. A. Win
slow of Yale as the first of all in
dustrial poisons is not covered, ex-
cept in cases Of outright death where
the accident provisions may be in
voked. But there is no compensation
for chronic poisoning leading to para
lysis, blindness and other forms Of
total disability. Garage workers are
most liable to carbon monoxide. but
employees in factories where gas is
used as fuel are widely affected
also.
Silicosis, widely prevalent and
disastrous occupationaIdiseas is not
compensated. Silicosis is an injury
to the lung tissue from quartz (silica)
dust and affects polishers and buffers,
pottery and glass workers, stone cut.
tiers and men and women in many
other industries cited by the witness.
5enzol Poisoning, affecting workers
in 81 industries, is not included in the
