Some of Senator McWhorter's en-
emies will sniff at this last state
ment, but let them sniff-as long as
they don't sniff too near the sena-
tor!
The senator's original name was
not John or Jeroboam as you might
think. 1t was Joses. Old Man Nc
Whorter had insisted that the baby
be named Moses because he probably
would be wise like his father and
Mrs. McWhorter declared for the
name Joseph in honor of her Uncle
Mike. So when Mr.. McWhorter be-
came stubborn about it, the mother
of his child heaved an anvil at him
which knocked off his hat for the
first time in many months and Old
Man McWhorter walked about in a
daze, muttering "Moses, Joseph
Moseph, Joses-" and so on until
Mrs. McWhorter took pity on her
spouse and agreed to compromise
with Joses. And Joses it was until
young McWhorter, entering politics
contracted it to- 10 for the sake of
dignity.
At school, Joses was such a prod
ICY that the teachers couldn't teach
him hardly anything. They did sue
coed, however, in teaching him that
while teacher might stand for a
tack in her chair now and then, the
use Of spikes was quite gauche.
At the age Of 20 young Joses Nc
Whorter entered a male bathing
beauty contest and came within q
few inches Of winning. The story is
now revealed for the first time. Nc
Whorter was then in the pink of
condition, but he had already begun
to develop the protruding abdomen
which is now one of his most dis
tinctive features. Well, he was
smart enough to know that that pod
of his would be absolutely fatal
in a beauty contest where he must
appear in a bathing suit.
So Joses adopted the simple but
effective expedient of holding it in.
AS he paraded before the judges,
no longer did the waist of his suit
come two or three inches out beyond
his chin. AS he stood in line while

CHURCHES
In Harmony With Trade
Unions

New York.-The welcome extended
organized labor by Los Angeles
churches is compared with last years
A. F. of L. convention at Detroit by
James Myers, industrial secretary of
the Federal Council of Churches of
Christ.
In speaking to 1000 people at the
Los Angeles First Methodist Church,
President Green appealed for investi-
cation of the church movement.
This church joined with 80 others
in opening their pulpits to trade
unionists to speak of the moral aim of
the labor movement. The unionists
discussed social ideals and humanitar-
ian achievements of labor, including
the raising of living standards, elm
ination of child lobor, reduction of un-
employment, increase of free educa-
ton, shortening hours and eliminating
night work for women.
"It was evident throughout the A.
F. of l.. convention this year, and es-
pecially following the Sunday serv-
ices, that Los Angeles has done much
to remove any danger of estrange-
ment between organized labor and the
churches" said Mr.. Myers.

the dead railroad executive played in

workers accepted the plan, but told
the president they doubted that it
would be satisfactory to the man.
ayers. The workers were plainly told
who was president of the United
States, and intimations of force
against the managers in the interest
of peace were broadly made.
But the managers proved they were
more powerful than the president,
who did not seem disposed to force
the issue. Mr.. Warfeld is credited
with being party to the solution
When the plan was rejected, he de-
nounced the raj executives. He, to-
gether with Daniel Willard, president
Of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, de-
serted their colleagues, who insisted
on "die-hard" policy of trade union
opposition.
Mr. Warfeld realized that peace
and good will in transportation is
more valuable than turmoil and dis.
satisfaction.
