INDUSTRIAL PLANTS
Build Heavily, Figures Re-
veal
BY RALPH F. COUCH

Washington, d. American in
dustry is adding extensively to its
building equipment this year, it is
shown by latest data on the coun-
try's 1928 construction program.
New factories and power plants on
which work was begun to October l
represent an investment of approx
mately $496,219,000, according to re-
ports of the F. w. Dodge Corpora
ton. This sum exceeds the outlay for
this class of structures in any pre-
vious year, with the exception of 1925,
WIN an approximately equal amount
VISA invested.
The industrial construction con-
tracted fo rso far in 1928 is greater
by 136,762,000 than the amount be-
gun in the corresponding period last
year
Activity in industrial building is
increasing with the fall season, it is
also found. Contracts awarded in
September aggregated $114,780,300,
compared with $85 400, the pre-
vious high for the year established in
April. All former September records
were likewise eclipsed, the months
total exceeding that of September,
1927, by $66,234, 500, and September,
1926, by $65,667, 800.

sick classes, how to give home care to
the sick in their homes and how to
prevent sickness by the proper care
of the home and the family.
z. In their fight against malnutri-
ton, the cause of many physical de-
fects in children and adults, the or
ganization has given nutrition in
struction to 128,000 persons, of whom
$4,000 were children.
8. With 10000 persons year dy-
ing as result of accidents, the Amer
lean Red Cross is waging nation
wide campaign to reduce this annual
loss of life. In the last twelve months
it has instructed more than 10000
persons in the United States in first
aid for the injured, while the number
of persons enrolled in it's life saving
corps after receiving intensive in
struction in methods for rescuing and
reviving the drowning persons, has
reached nearly 174,000. During the
year it has also given more than 1000
lectures and demonstrations for the
furtherance of this campaign.
8. In addition to helping with the
administrative and other phases of
the work, Red Cross volunteers have
during the year produced more than
a quarter of a million garments and
two and a quarter million surgical
dressings for use in disaster relief
work and other contingencies. They
have also transcribed 1916 volumes
into Braille, system of raised let
tering whereby the blind are enabled
to read. Practically all Braille trans
cribing in this country is done by
Red Cross volunteers.
10. The American Red Cross makes
no appeals for funds during the year
except following great national dis
asters in which cases all funds con-
tributed are spent for relief work in
the disaster for which the appeal is
made. This entire program of serv-
ice is financed from membership dues
obtained during the roll call. In addi-
ton to this the membership funds
finance many relief operations fol-
lowing relatively small disasters in
which no special appeal is made.

Tuesday and Wednesday, November
"a, 2G, q and %, met again Wednes-
day night to complete the arrange
ments.
From the reports Of the members
who were present the bazaar will be
somewhat bigger and better than last

have been ordered from Jimmy Hen
erickson, and he promises to deliver
the best bunch on the market. Be-
sides the turkeys carload of chick
ems, geese and ducks will also be there

any trade unionist and his family be-
ing without big Thanksgiving din
ner if he attends this bazaar.
The same has been we'll advertised,

big crowd will attend each night.
Other interesting features Of the ba-

THE ANNUAL ROLL CALL
What the American Red Cross Has Accomplished During
The Last Year

1. In Porto Rico the American Red
Cross has half million homeless and
destitute persons under its care, and
in Florida there are $4,000 persons
looking to it for assistance as result
Of the tropical hurricane which swept
out of the Caribbean Sea in Septem-
ber and cut path of destruction over
fifteen hundred mile course. A re-
lief fund of about $5,500,000 has been
raised with which the organization is
preventing intense suffering and in
many instances actual starvation.
2. During the organizations fiscal
year which closed June 80 it gave as
sistance following 88 disasters, &C of
which were in this country and %
abroad.
3. It's workers in nearly 5000 chap
ters in the United States have assist
ed an average Of 40,500 service and
ex-service men each month, helping
them to settle government claims and
procure hospital treatment and seeing
that their families did not suffer while
these claims were pending. At the
same time Red Cross workers in
camps and hospitals assisted an aver
age of nearly 10000 men each month,
and arranged during the year more
than % 600 recreation and entertain
ment events.
d. Carrying on civilian relief activ-
tiles only where there is no other
agency to do it-mostly in small
towns and rural sections-the Red
Cross has assisted more than 10000
families during the year.
S. In communities throughout the
United States and in our insular and
foreign possessions, its 745 public
health nurses have been fighting di-
sease and suffering and improving the
health standards of the nation. They
have made more than million visits
to homes during the year to care for
the sick and protect the we'll. $4,000
school children have been inspected
and given assistance in having their
physical defects corrected.

JAPS ENTRY
Opposed by Church Body /;
Quota Law Is Upheld

Washington.--The house of Deputies
of the Methodist Episcopal Church re-
fused to concur with the House Of
Bishops in resolution calling for
modification of the immigration laws
affecting Orientals. The two houses
are the governing body of this church.
George w. Wickercham, former
United States attorney general, led
the fight in the House of Deputies to
place Orientals under the quota. Now
all Orientals are barred because they
can not be naturalized.
IF japanese were admitted under
the quota law" said Mr.. Wickercham.
"it would mean only about 146 year.
Surely this is not enough to cause a
nation of l15,0OO,OOO to shudder.
In opposing the proposal Rev. DR..

ity Schol of the Pacific, said: "There

SHORTER WEEK
AND SHORTER DAY
INEVITABLE
BY ARTHUR II. PHILLIPS

The laboring class, since the dawn
of civilization, has had to contend
against great odds. But in compara-
lively recent years, as people are be-
coming more enlightened on other
subjects, they are finding ways to al
leviate the burden of those who toll.
The invention Of modern machinery
has lightened the work of the laborer,
but it has also created a situation
which calls for some serious atten-
ton and some specific action on the
part Of wage-earners.
The invention Of labor saving ma
chinery, Of course, is something we
cannot prevent-nor would we do so
if we could. Although thousands of
men and women are thrown out of
work every year by the installation
Of such machinery, we have no desire
to retard this progress or to slacken
the march of civilization. So what
is to be done to avert disaster to
laboring humanity and to stave off
the poverty and hardship which will
surely result from an economic con-
dition in which inequalities abound :?
As an answer to this question some
of the more progressive employers
are already adopting shorter work
periods for their employees. A textile
mill in Europe recently, in taking ad-
vantage of the more modern and
speedier methods of production, in
augurated a 7-hour day and hired 900

say it was an interesting gathering.
First Vice President Brown, of the

of the machinists throughout the
country.

CUBA RAISES BAN
ON SUGAR ACREAGE.
Unprecedented Crop of Cane
Predicted as Greatest
Planting Is Made.
By the Associated Press.

9y the ASSoclaIe0 FreSS.
HAVANA, November 3o.-Cuba's sugar
cane acreage is soaring to heights never
before known on the island.
From end to end an unprecedented
planting is in progress. Farmers have
been electrified by President Machado's
announcement that the government
will lift all restrictions on sugar and
allow unlimited planting and harvest
ing. An enormous crop is in prospect.
Old cane fields left implanted since
PRONUNCIATION of the Tarafa act which
restricted planting and curtailed sales
and shipping. have been retilled and
sugar stock dropped into burrows, some
times mile long. Lands already under
cultivation are being utilized to the
utmost and wherever possible acreages
are doubling.
A general survey of Cuba shows ap-
proximately 700 miles of almost con-
tinuous sugar cane and fields planted
to sugar. From Havana province on
the west to Santiago de Cuba on the
east, as far as the eye can see, there
Is an almost unbroken panorama of
cane.
The sugar industry considers itself
the foundation Of Cuba'S entire eco
nomic structure. The fertile lands are
dedicated to virtually nothing but cane.
Whatever break there is in the con-
tinuity Of sugar fields is small truck
garden, pitifully inadequate to meet
the demands of its own locality, or an
occasional stretch of banana trees.
The industry believes that in its sue
cess lies the solution of Cuba'S f1nan-
cial future. There is very little
arguing of the question of supply and
demand and whether unlimited pro-
duction will tend to disturb the worlds
sugar market. Cheap labor and low
operation costs are declared to give the
native industry an advantage over sugar
producers in the Philippines, Java and
the United States.
