HOW PROTECT
HOOVER VEXES
QUAKER CHURCH
Fear Lobbyists May Take
Advantage of Open
Forums
BY MARTHA STRAYER
Times STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Wash-
ington Quakers are being quiet as
a Quaker meeting about what
they're going to do with Herbert
Hoover if he attends their little old
brick church on street, NJ W., dur
ing his term in the White House.
The Friends church will have two
problems to solve if the Hoovers
worship there:
The tiny auditorium, with a ca
pacity of about 200, is hopelessly
inadequate to accommodate the
crowds that will be drawn by the
President and his wife.
Lobbyists in Church
The Friends form of worship may
mean embarrassment to Hoover and
the Friends committee in charge
of the church, if fanatics or over
jealous lobbyists use this means to
gain the ear of an otherwise mac
cessible chief executive.
Under the HickSite order of serv-
ice, used at the Street church, any
man or woman in the church may
rise to his or her feet at any time
and talk on any subject-provided
the subject has a spiritual angle.
This would seem to preclude contro-
versial political subjects, but not al
together. Many political or semi
political questions have more or
less religious slant.
For instance, world peace is q
problem that probably no Quaker
would bar as irreligious, since
Quakers have suffered persecution
through the centuries on account of
their paciism.
Could Cut Service Short
Prohibition would take its place
in the same religious category, in the
opinion of many American voters.
Presidential veto of a big army and
navy might be included in the gen.
eral subject of war and peace. And
so might American intervention in
any foreign country, such as the
sending of marines to Nicaragua.
The leaders of the meeting might
be unseemly or embarrassing to the
President, by bringing the service
abruptly to a close. This is done
when two people on seats facing the
audience, which are occupied by
members of a committee of over
sight" or others invited by this COM
nittee rise and shake hands The
meeting thus is adjourned.

FAKE JOB
Agencies Victimize Work.
ers, Declares City
Official

New York.-Job seekers in this city
are victimized by fake trade schools,
according to William F. Gill, of the
city department of licenses, at a
hearing by the industrial survey
commission.
The witness testified that automo-
bile washing schools rented offices
near employment agencies and in
some cases hired desk space within
the agencies. Jobless men, suscept-
ible in their eagerness for work, are
enrolled to learn motor car washing,
bricklaying, tile setting, lathing, etc.
and paid a fee for the privilege of
learning these trades.
The course of study" consists in
practice at the various trades, and fol-
lowing graduation" students are
promised jobs, which usually do not
materialiZe.
One school, described by Mr.. Gill
employed runners to approach jobless
men and bring them in to the schools

to whatever the individual could pay
were obtained in return for receipt
promising work at $50 and $40 8
week. After washing automobiles fol
several days the men were "gradhat.

Everything had been done to make

LACK OF MONEY
Causes Labor Bureau To
Fail in Purpose

Washington.-A plea for funds to
investigate problems of vital interest
to wage workers features the annual
report of Ethelbert Stewart, commits
sioner United State Bureau of Labor
Statistics.
Figures on the cost of living are
10 year old, and these are incom-
plete, said Mr.. Stewart The number
of displaced workers, because of the
automatic machine, is unknown II
is matter of common knowledge
that many workers are displaced, the
report states, but little is known OF
its actual extent.
The study of radium poisoning had
to be abandoned because of lack OF
funds. This type of poisoning fur
nishes one of the horrible examples
of the dangers of industrial employ
ment.
"The industrial accident prevention
conference held in Washington, D. c..
in 1925, urged that this bureau be
made a clearing house for accident
statistics in cooperation with the
states,' said Mr.. Stewart. "This ac-
ton has failed as yet to bring forth
any result BY this l do not mean
to say that we are not improving our
work along this line, but we will know
nothing about accidents until a COM
plete linking up of the states with
the bureau is affected. The bureau
should be the clearing house for acci-
dent statistics and all states should
be brought into the combination"

Low COMPENSATION
PAID IN COLORADO

Denver.-This state pays the low
est compensation to injured workers
and organized labor will urge the
next legislature to place Colorado in
line with modern practices.
Secretary John Gross, of the State
Federation of Labor, points out that
AZ per cent of the cases acted on by
the state industrial commission were
awarded the maximum of $12 week;
per cent showed minimum of SIS
week, and 27 per cent showed an
average rate of 1915 week.
Wages Of working women are so
low, Gross asserted, that so per cent
maximum compensation cannot pro-
vide for their necessities. The aver
age weekly wage in compensate
cases is less than $24 week, he said.
