MACHINISTS'
STRIKE MAY GO

Washington.-Tricky maneuvering
by delegates to the Federation of Cit

war of the American La France Com
pany of Elmira, New York, against
organized machinists being thrown
into congress.
This city is governed by three com.
missioners appointed by the presi-

ing to organized machinists who
wished to protest against the pur.
chase of fire apparatus from con.
Germ that employs notoriously un-
skilled labor and whose representa-

neapolis councilmen.
The machinists appealed to the
Federation of Citizens Association
where anti-union influences resortee
to parliamentary objections. The
meeting adjourned without taking
action and the machinists will under
take to have committees of the house
and senate grant them hearings the
district commissioners denied.

with the anti-union fields of West Vir-
ginia and Kentucky.
The organized miners protested that
wage reductions were no solution for
mining ills and that the low-wage
policy would only result in cut-throat
competition that would reach the star
vation point for workers.
The unionists' prediction has been
verified. Wage cuts in one field have
been met by other reductions by COM
petitors while conditions in the in
dustry becomes more chaotic.
Non-union miners employed by
these concerns are compelled to ac-
cept bad work conditions. Any worker

such conditions" said P. T. Fagin,

MOVEMEN FOR VACATIONS

MOVEMEN FOR VACATIONS
WITH PAY GROWS.-The extension
of the movement for granting vaca-

by the number of trade agreements
which have provisions for paid vaca-
tions for the workers covered by the
agreements. The Monthly Labor Re-
view for April contains an article on
the subject which shows that II OF
the trade agreements received by the
bureau of labor statistics since 1926
have such provision, the service pc
rod required for eligibility for va
cation with pay usually being one
year The length of vacation varies
from 6 to Is days. These agreements
cover locals of bakers, brewery work
ers, commercial telegraphers, cleo
trical workers, hotel and restaurant
employees, marine firemen, oilers and
water tenders, meat cutters, railway
clerks, retail clerks, sailors, stenog-
raphers, bookkeepers and typists

The way to a mans heart may not
be through his stomach, but the sur
est way for a mother to rate high in
the estimation of her sons and daugh-
tiers is to be a good cook and house
keeper The majority Of girls and
boys would rather have mother who
can cook and keep house well than q
mother who respects their opinion or
one who always has time to read,
talk or 60 on picnics. Being well
dressed or being active socially counts
for little in comparison.
This is true at least Of the high

A Middletown butcher is quoted
"'The modern housewife has lost the

that are easily and quickly cooked
