He insisted that the liquor in- terests are seeking to break down the law, as they have every other law aimed at contrlling liquor" He belit- tied the argument for state control, declaring that it had been tested and failed. Answering Reeds contention that the dry law is a, crime, against the people, Senator Borah declared that may have been mistake, the people of the United States may have erred in their Judgment, but time and experience alone will .determine that fact. It was not crime The people of the United States were sincerely ,strug1 ling with that which was deemed one of the great evile of md, ern civilization; thesobjert was an ex- alted one; the usnoss.esnbodied some tai Of the ideal. Possibly in the end 1t will be found impraeticable, but it is nota crime to undertake to control and bring under direction of the law and under the domination of civiliza- .tion that whiehE wuld psfdermine and destroy civilization.1

 Senator Reed, about to retire from the Senate, denounced the law in his strongest terms but assured the Sen ators that he was only lesring on Sat urday when he threatened to make public the namess or those men who. "vote dry and drink wet. adding. T would not violate the confidence of my friendsaer the hospitality of my neighborsfby even telling anything about them when they are merely try ing tof get bit of sunshine out of life" Then, with biting sarcasm. he tore into the prohibition law and ac- eused the Anti-Saloon League of sub stituting the doctrine i force for req son. He declared that great races ai- ways have been addicted to the use of st,mulants ard he denounced the cor ruption in government as the out of the liquor iav,.and in con- clusion he pleaded for srateseutrol of the. liquor question.

His work will be made easier by req son of the fact that special rail rates and special steamship rates from &c., attle to Seward will be offered colo nists.
 The colonizatin plan as means of increasing railroad tonnage is by no means new, Colonel Ohlson said. The transccntinental railroads serving the Northwest have carried on a similar work for many years past. Hard hit by the diversion of freight traffic through the Panama Canal. they were confronted by the necessity of in- creasing their tonnage and settled on colonization as the best means of so doing. Expenditures of large sums of money were made. but the money was well spent, Rural population hss gained rapidly and steadily, with con- sequent benefit to the railroads.
 Thus in settling upn colonization. as a means of increasing the business of the Alaska Railroad, Colonel Ohlsen will make use of & plan which has proved to be. an. entire. success in B. country very similar to Alaska.

Still Buying Prison-Made
Goods; Now 1t Is Stoves

Toronto (ILNS)-Sears, Roebuck q
Company has not abandoned the prac-
tice of buying prison-made goods, ac-
cording to announcement made here
today to International Labor News
Service by President M. j. Keough,
of the International Molders' Union,
and w. C. Birthright, secretary OF
the Tennessee Federation of Labor.
The big Chicago mail order house
has just placed an order for 5000
stoves to be made at the state peni-
tentiary at Nashville, Tenn, accord
ing to these two officials.
1t was but recently shown that the
same mail order house, which has de-
clined to continue to have its printing
done by union shop, has purchased
and sold overalls made in the Michi-
gan peniteneiary. The president of the
firm declared in letter that no more
such overalls would be purchased.
Whether the stove contract was made
after than announcement is not
known, but that it is recent order
is shown by the fact that work on
making the stoves has not yet begun.

A. F. o. L. MOVES FOR
PENSIONS FOR AGED
Plan Il to Bring All States
Into Line.

The American Federation of Labor
is planning to put Its power behind a
movement to obtain legislation for
old-age pensions in all states.
There has been a marked demand
from certain quarters for old-age PEN
sions since 1923, "Scrutator" writes
In the Chicago Tribune. There had
been some efforts previously, but not
on wide scale In the United States.
So much progress has been made that
at present ten states and the terri
tory Of Alaska have laws permitting
the payment of public funds to the
poor on the sole. grounds OF age and
poverty.
All the existing laws have points
In common and some resemblance to
standard form. Six states set 20
years as the age at which applicants
become eligible. Four set IS years, as
does Alaska In the case OF men, Alaska
women become eligible for pensions at
60. All the bills passed require resi-
dence Of at least fifteen years In the
state. None has set the amount that
may be claimed by any person at
much more than ST day, and at least
one, Kentucky, limits pensions to $3.50
q year.
Considerable leeway is given coun-
ties and other smaller territorial d.
visions In deciding whether they wish
to operate under the pension laws. In
some cases 1t Is necessary for the
county authorities to call for a refer
endum vote before inaugurating PEN
sion system. Likewise, the counties
are usually required to pay from one
third TO one-half of the cost.
No state takes over the sole duty
OF paying all pension claims allowed
from the state revenues, according to
the bureau OF labor statistics.

The 1928 averages for the indus
try are for $4,000 wage earners in

ed. Full-time hours for these wage
earners averaged 53.4 per. week, as
compared with 53.3 per week for the
82,9s2 employees of Isl mills included
in the 1926 study of the industry.
Earnings per hour averaged 3z.4

APARTMENTS
Make Big Gains Over Sep
arate Houses
Rv RALPH F. COUCH

Washington, d. C.-Approximately
62.3 per cent of all living accommo-
dations which are being provided by
new construction in cities of the
United States this year are apart
ments, it is shown by the newest half
year analysis of city building permits
made by the United States labor de-
partment.
Seven years back, in 1922 when the
labor department made its first study
of residential building types, only
34.6 per cent of the families housed
in new construction in the first halt
year went into apartments. BY com
parison with the 1929 proportion this
was PIT per cent less.
In 1922, it is further shown, 434
per cent of the newly housed families
were provided with separate dwell.
ings. This year the proportion NOV
ing into individual homes is placed al
27.8 per cent.
Thus while the apartment proper
-tion has very nearly doubled over the
seven-year span, that of the single
dwelling shows a decline of 1876 pei
cent.
These comparisons furnish striking
illustration of the extent to which eco.
nomic forces and popular preference
nave altered the manner of living Of
large masses of the urban populations
in recent years.

The case developed from the time
