Speaker and Mrs. LOngWOrth at
Present in Social Spotlight
70 Entertain for Presi-
dent Tonight; Will Be
Feted by Congressional
Club on Thursday

For personages who play
important roles in the the
alter of Washington's social
life, the Speaker of the
House and Mrs, Nicholas
Longworth figure very little
in the news. They entertain
and are entertained a great
deal, but the parties they
prefer are the informal sort
which don't find their way
into the newspapers.
In the Spotlight
For the moment, however, one
finds the Longworths conspicu-
Gus and charming figures in a
number of highly official fes-
tivities. Tonight they are to
have their dinner for the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Coolidge and on
Thursday evening they will be
guests of honor at reception
at the Congressional Club.
Then, in the last few days
there have been two important
dinners, guests for which have
been invited Ito meet the
Speaker and Mrs. Longworth."
One was given on Saturday
evening by the Ambassador OF
Spain and Nine. Padilla and
another on Sunday by the
Minister of Greece and Mime.
Simopoulos.
Closes Series
The round of official dinners for
the President, which begins each
year with the Vice Presidents
dinner and includes parties with
each of the Cabinet members as
hosts. additionally has its auspic-
fous close with a dinner at which
the Speaker OF the House is host.
However. President Coolidge VIII
dine out once more this week, for
on Saturday evening he is to De
the guest of honor at the annual
banquet of the White House Cor
respondents Association. IhlS
win be a mans dinner, SO Mrs.
Coolidge will not be present, even
should her physicians ban on ac-
cepting invitations for the eve
ming be lifted by that time.
1t has been a custom Of long
standing for the Congressional
Club to give reception for the
President and the First Lady as
the first big evening party of
its season. For the last two
years. however, it has been inn
possible for the powers that be
in the club to "connect" with
President Coolidge on suitable
date, so this season an afternoon
reception, with Mrs. Coolidge as
the guest of honor, was substj-
tuted. The reception for the
Vice President, another hardy
annual, has already been written
into social history and Thursday
has been set for the reception to
the Speaker, the last of the trio
of most important events of the
clubs calendar.
A Longworth Myth
The impression is pretty gen.
eral that President Roosevelt's
magnetic daughter yields a ire
mendous political influence and
that the destinies of the country
are shaped in her salon" One
wonders, however, if this isn't
something of myth. To be sure,
many men of many political
minds meet in her drawing room,
where. doubtless, sparks are struck
and ideas exchanged. And Mrs.
Longworth follows what happens
on Capitol Hill more closely than
any other woman in Washington.
But those who know her best con-
tend that she has the spectators
viewpoint, watching the political
game mitch as she might watch
football or a prize fight, and that
she leaves actual participation in
politics. even indirectly. to her
husband

New York City. Ct. l.. N. S.)-The
unseen hand of the prison contractor
in opposition to the convict labor bill
now before congress was roundly
scored by United States Senator
Harry B. Hawes, of Missouri, in his
address before the annual meeting of
the national committee on prisons and
prison labor just held at Columbia
University, New York.
He was ably supported by Albert
Ottinger, attorney general of New
York state, who pointed out that the
New York state markets were being
flooded with the prison-made goods
sent in from other states, tending to
reduce wages and perpetuate sweat
shop conditions.

TRADE UNIOINSTS
Urged to Purchase PequOt
Products

New York City. O. L. N. S)-The
United Textile Workers of America
is again directing the attention of
organized labor to Pequot sheets and
pillow cases, which are made at Salem,
Mass, by the Naumkeag Steam Cot
ton Company, not only under health
full and sanitary conditions, but un-
der 100 per cent union conditions.
Three thousand workers are engaged
in making Pequot products.
Pointing out that purchase of Pc
quot products will give work to fellow
trade unionists in Salem and help tc
overcome the depression in the tex
tile industry, Thomas F. McMahor
and James Starr, secretary-treasurel
of the United Textile Workers, says
"Pequot sheets and pillow cases are
entitled to the full support of trade
unionists and their friends No other
brand Of sheeting on the market al
the present time is produced under
such favorable conditions to the work
ers as is Pequot, They cost no more
and are equal to the best"

HOUSE FAVORS new
PENSION LAW

Washington.-Th Lehlbach bill to
liberalize the civil service retirement
law was reported to the house by the
civil service committee. The bill pro-
vides for voluntary retirement at the
option of the employe after 30 years
of service if the employe has reached
the age of 90 and increases the maxi
mum annuity from 81 900 to $1,000.
Employees contribution is approx
imately $28,000,000 per annum," said
Congressman Lehlbach, author Of the
bill. "The increased annuities and the
optional retirement features of this
bill will increase the government con-
tribution to about S30,000,000 for the
30-year period. Thereafter the contri-
button of the government will approx
innate $10,000,000 per annum, while
the contribution of the employees will
total $3o,O0O,O00.
"Inasmuch as the retirement sys-
tenn at its inception was believed to be
$3.50 measure, it is urged that there
is nothing unreasonable in the propo-
sition that the government bear some
what more than one-half the cost for
the first 80 years, until the deficiency
| is absorbed and that the employees pro-
vide by their contributions three
fourths of the cost of the system
thereafter"

The communists were told that il

The communists said the May Day
collection would be divided between
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Colorado
miners. The communists were asked
to make a report on the money they
have already raised for the miners,
but the challenge was ignored.

COAL OWNERS
In South Get Special Rail
Rate

Washington.-Th United States
supreme court has refused to stay a
decree by the West Virginia federal
court, southern district, enjoining the
commerce commission from
enforcing its order that southern coal
carriers cancel their rate reduction
of 20 cents a ton on lake cargo coal.
Last winter the commission re-es-
tablished rates to the Great Lakes
that existed prior to preferential rates
to southern coal owners who pleaded
for aid to assist their Infant indus
try" Southern railroads came to the
rescue of these coal owners by reduc-
ing their rates, but the commission
refused to recognize this effort to
nullify their order. The railroads car
ried the case to court, which now en-
joins the commission.
This rate fight is far-reaching

claim they can not meet competition
when they are handicapped by specia
rates to the southerners.

CONVICT
Labor Law Is State Need !;
Declares Bills Author

New York.-Senator Halves, of
Missouri, co-author of the Hawes-
Cooper convist labor bill, predicted
at the annual meeting of the national
committee on prisons and prison la
Dor that congress will pass the meas
ure if brought up at this session.
The bill was framed to divest con-
victmade goods of their interstate
character upon arrival at their desti-
nation and to permit the laws of that
state to regulate their sale and dis
tribution. Senator Hawes said that
only the unseen hand" of the prison
contractor is against the measure.
"The smuggling of prison products
into the markets of now helpless
states is about to end in this country
just as few years ago we barred
from our markets the products OF
foreign convicts," said Senator Halves
There is not single effective argu-
ment which the prison contractor car
offer for his existence; he cannot de-
fend his position in the business
world, if his trade may be called q
business"
Assistant States Attorney General
| George Davis said New York was be-
ing flooded with convict-made goods

Clear Cut Victory for Union Labor Life
Governor Signs Measure Freeing Workers From EN-
plOyer COntrOl-New Measure Secured in Fight
Directed by President Woll-Appication to Do Busi-
in Massachusetts Made as Soon as Statute Is
Effective

By International Labor News Service.
Boston, Mass.-Entering the legis-
lative arena for the first time in a
fight to enable trade unions to secure
group insurance, the Union Labor Life
Insurance Company has scored a COM
plete victory in this state to the con-
sternation of some of the old life in
surance companies and the life insur-
ance publications.
The Massachusetts law has hitherto
permitted group insurance on groups
of workers employed in one plant un-
der one management, but it has not
permitted unions having member
ship in more than one plant to insure
their members as union.
The governor has just signed bill
enacted by the legislature at the in
stance of the Union Labor Life Insur-
ance Company under the active per-
sonal direction of President Matthew
WOll.
President Woll announced that, fol
lowing the signing of this bill, the
company had Immediately applied fol
permission to do business in this
state.
'The Spectator" weekly insurance
review, of New York and Chicago, re-
veals the astonishment of much of the
insurance world at this Union Labor
Life Insurance Company victory anc
shows clearly the anti-union scheme
| that was back of the original law
The new law, says The Spectator
changes the statute "to such degree
as to almost vitiate it's real inten
