ALLEN-A HOSIERY
Workers to Celebrate First
Anniversary of Big
Fight

kenosha, Wis. G. L. N. S.)-The
eleventh month of the lockout against
the Full Fashioned Hosiery Workers
by the Allen-A Hosiery Company
finds 250 of the original young men
and women still fighting in this sit
uation. The Allen-A Company from
time to time issues statements to the
effect that the lockout is ended and
everything is peaceful in Kenosha.
Though there is no picketing, at three
strike meetings each week the entire
membership can be found, still cheer
ing, singing and happy.
Forty young men, who have made
their living on full-fashioned ma
chimes, welding skillful fingers and
tiny pliers, clear their throats each
day and hold forth in a public speak
ing class conducted by the locked-out
workers. Many of the young men
have become accomplished speakers
and orators, and are at this time
IN various parts of the country tell
ing the story of the Allen-A lockout.
The locked-out workers are now
laying plans for their first anniver-
sary celebration to mark the first
year of the fight. A parade, vaude-
vile entertainment, dance and radio
broadcast will mark hit sioccasion, and
if the weather permits, an outdoor
mass meeting, February Is.
The Allen-A Company after eleven
months of fighting is being forced to
reduce the prices on their hose, and
for 1929 they are featuring an 80
cent-a-pair stocking. The firm stands
solid in its determination to keep
unionism out of the hosiery business
in Kenosha, and refuses to arbitrate
the issue. The union stands just as
firm not to give in, and the situation
is at deadlock. Since the arrest of
the private detective, Leslie Zales, in
November, disturbances In the local
situation have ceased

MUSICAL STARS
And Stage Hands Sign Up
For Union Labor Life
Policy

Washington, d. C. (I. L. N. So
Two important new group insurance
policies have been written by the
Union Labor Life Insurance Com
pany, according to announcement just
made at the office of President Mat
thew Woll in the home office of the
company here.
These new groups are the Mu-
sicians' Union at Philadelphia and the
Theatrical Stage Employees Union at
Hartford, Conn, both large and i'm
portant unions.
The Philadelphia Musicians Union
is one of the largest in the country
and numbers in its ranks some of the
highest paid and best musical artists
in the country, playing in musical or
ganizations known throughout the
country and in Europe The Union
Labor Life Insurance Company re-
CARDS the signing of this group as a
distinct Feather in its cap" and also
as an indication of the wisdom of the
union men who have become insured.
Not only have these two important
groups been added to the company's
roster, but general agents throughout
the country are reporting great in
creases in business, partly due to
speeding up of the whole organization
and partly due to desire on the part
of agents to repeat last years efforts,
when January was set aside as a
month for special endeavor in honor of
the late Samuel Gompers, whose
birthday was in January and who, as
president Of the American Federation

asked the department of labor to in
vestigate the purpose of his visit here
1t is understood department officials
are conducting an inquiry but they
have as yet made no statement on
the matter.
Anti-Fascists have particularly d.
rected the attention of the depart
ment of labor to the charge that Pa
rinl came here with diplomatic pass
port, though he denies he is here
in any official capacity. They are
asking what is the real purpose of his
visit and those well informed as to
Fascist activities declare that he came
to promote Fascism in the United
States.
"Signor Parini is here to play the
role of troublemaker, says one Ital-
ian newspaper opponent of Fascism.
He is here to sow dissention among
Italians and to advocate Mussolini's
criminal regime in Italy, which is op-
posed to all that America stands for.
The American authorities should give
stern thought to his visit, which is
detrimental to American ideas of lib
erty and democracy.

silver forks and spoons with a curving

The dances nowadays are far
from the old timers of way back in
''83." In those days everybody danced
to the same tune and everybody kept
step in unison. Quite different today
with the two-step onestep, tangled
step, etc. They remind the old tim
ers more of hog wrestle than any
thing else. There is no doubt that the
apron party above mentioned was a
petite affair in charge of Henry
Welsh and the management who have
long ago passed away.
Hope some of us live long enough
to see the old time dances and Gus
