BOSTON. April IA Nationwide
campaign for SiX-hour day to COM
bat unemployment was launched here
yesterday by the Brotherhood of Rail-
road Trainmen and its companion or
gantzation. the Brotherhood of Loco

famous meetings of New England men,
bers of both brotherhoods were held
in the American House and in Faneu!l
Hall, where Is years ago the drive for
the present e.ght-hour day for railroad
employees began.
Samuel E. WinSlow, chairman of the

here to address the engineers and fire.
men. but after he had spoken of the
success of his board in keeping labor
troubles out of sight and in preventing
them" Timothy Shea, assistant preSi-
dent of the engineers said, We must
go to Congress for a bill of rights TO
protect men who are being cast into the
junk heap"
In 1927" Shea continued. 1.-The num-
Der of operating employees on the roads
of this country numbered less than l.
100000, while in 1920. the previous peak
year Of history, more than 100000 men
were required With plans under con-
temptation which will mean the COM
bining Of 100 railroads under the con-
troll OF the Interstate Commerce COM
mission in 19 or 20 big systems, it means
that this brotherhood alone will have at
least 10000 more men out of Jobs.
Neither the railroad labor act nor
any other legislation can prevent the
railroad men of this country from walk
ing out on strike to get justice. The
act is a good thing and will prevent
trouble. but when the railroads refuse to
participate in the proceedings before
the regional boards. other methods OF
settling disputes will have to be put into
effect"
Share in Production.
The trainmen were addressed by their
president, Alexander F. Whitney Of
Cleveland. who said. 81 do not believe
that the invenlc- of labor saving ma
chinery should reap an lfic returns from
his invention, but only share, So that
the employer and employe, especially
the latter. who has been hardest hit,
may share in the increased production
through higher wages and shorter work.

concluded, unless it cOrrectS its social
evils. and unemployment is one OF the
greatest of these evils
A series Of regional meetings in New
England and all other parts of the
country were planned by both organiza-
tons as part of their campaign. Whit
ney said that the union would call upon
employers to maintain the present basic
wage in granting the six-hour day.

ing him and explaining the objects
to him. That will help him to grow
out of this stage sooner, for for
when he learns all the necessary
things about these articles, he will
not trouble about them any fur

in his search for knowledge, the

it is terribly trying"
81 know it is trying to us, but
do you know 1 haven't a doubt
that it is a good deal more trying
to the child when we interfere with
his search for knowledge. But if we
work with him, we shall find en-
joyment in his curiosity. am sure
that if we parents do our part as
we ought to, we shall get the re-
ward as we go along, and our
children, instead of being trial

The Spirit of Investigation
Mary Stark Kerr

A business woman was calling at
the home of a young mother; while
the latter was signing some papers
her child was playing around the
room, and Investigating various
articles which attracted his atten-
ton, as is natural for a child eigh-
teen months old. "Stop that!" cried
the mother, "Let it alone!" and she
jumped up and snatched the child
away angrily.
'He is So troublesome" she said
to the caller. "He is into every
thing. I wish he were a girl; that
is what ! wanted; boys are never
any use to one when they grow
up"
"Oh," said the shocked caller,
"don't say that. A boy can be a
great comfort to you. I have one
only six years old, and he certain
" is a delightful companion to me.
But if you talk about your son like
this, it will ruin his life, and yours,
too. A. child, even Of his age, can
feel the antagonism you are ex-
pressing, and it will cause him to
have the same feeling toward you;
or else, if he keeps on loving you,
it will break his little heart.
"Well, I wish he would let things
alone" snapped the mother.
"You can have your wish full
filled, if you will take the right
way Of doing it," said the caller.

everything, they do not mean to be

70 Sl,ave Your Working Time
- Minimum, Run on Schedule

You will probably find that you
can cut down on time several min
utes. Alter your schedule to fit
your new speed, and give yourself
that much extra leisure time at
the end of the day.
There is something about get
ting things down on paper that
gives them power. Pin your sched-
ule up in the kitchen where it will
be constant reminder. True, it
may cut short that delectable gos-
sip over the back fence, but on the
other hand it will give time to
read some new books, pay more
attention to your personal appear
ance, and be companion to your
family instead of a hired girl.
There is no reason why, in these
days of modern conveniences, a
woman shouldn't have an hour or
two in the afternoon and most of
her evening free. If you feel that
you are too overloaded to aspire
to any such goal, think back hon.
|estly over the day. Weren't there a
good many odd moments that you
wasted? Didn't your work start,
stop and shift like a switch engine
on q side track, instead of going
ahead like transcontinental linn
tied? You are in the despatching
tower, and you owe it to yourself
and family to keep the track open
for your work, to eliminate all the
bitches and false starts that eat
up the "a hours in your day.
Start tomorrow morning with
some clean, white paper, a sharp
pencil and some good resolutions
to straighten out and replan your
household work. See if it doesn't
lift a burden from your tired
shoulders!

HANDS NEED MORE CARE
THAN FACES, SAYS EXPERT


Hands need more care than
faces, according to Hazel Rawson
Cadees, beauty expert, in Farm &
Fireside.
"Housework never hurt any,
body's face" she says. ''The ex-
ercise you get from sweeping is
just as good a circulation stimu-
lator as beauty treatment and a
lot cheaper. With your hands it's
dnferent. You can't pickle and
plant and then just put on your
diamond rings and go out to a
party. Hands need constant care
as well as dress-up grooming. Not

try to wear them for heavy worl
if you can possibly stand them
Il.
You can also do a lot for vour
hands by using mild cleansing
agents. Warm olive oil or melted
cocoa butter rubbed into the hands
keeps the skin fabricated and pre-
vents the cuticle from breaking.
If your hands are thin and bony,
massage them gently with melted
cocoa butter.
Never put brilliantly colored
polish on homely hand. If you
use liquid polish, select one that
wears well without discoloring. Do
not cut your cuticle unless they
break and need trimming. Push
them back gently with the towel
when you dry your hands"

To learn whether people Of today
are different from those who pro
vided the pilgrims of the Middle
ages with beds and meals, a young
Swedish newspaper woman recently
liked over the route between
Sweden and Rome used by the Phi
grims. On her arrival at Rome she
reported that men and women have
changed very little. They are still
far more interested in their daily
lives than in anything else.
