HOOVER NIPS SHIP
BUILDERS LOBBY

Washington.-Wil William B. Shearer
big-navy propagandist, has drawn a
singing rebuke from the president
because of his efforts to wreck the
Geneva disarmament conference. Mr.
Hoover directed the attorney general
to ascertain what can be done to check
this practice, and has served notice
that these propagandists will not be
tolerated.
The Shearer expose is the result of
a suit this high-power propagandist
started i'm New York for $250,000
against the Bethlehem Shipbuilding
Corporation, the Newport News Ship
building and Dry Dock Corporation
and the American Brown Boveri Elec-
trio Company for alleged service in
fighting naval reductions. He has
made speeches for the National Sc
curity League and has written a book
depicting war between this country
and Japan. He is considered one of
the spokesmen for the big-navy
crowd.
The senate committee on naval af-
fairs will investigate Shearer's prac-
tees. That individual resents the in
ference that he was impelled by

New Orleans Car Men
Reject New York Truce
And Strike Is On Again

New Orleans (ILNS)-By a vote of
1,009 against acceptance and 81 in
favor, the local division of the Anal
gamated Association of Street and
Electric Railway Employees, rejected
the truce signed in New York and
declined to go further in negotiations
| for peace on the New York basis. The
strike is on again, full force. The
| local union leaders declare that the
| Public Service interpreted the New
York agreement to provide for pref
erence to strike breakers, and that
the striking union men would get
| work if, as and when the company
cared to give it to them. They
charge the Public Service with bad
faith.
Three hours after the vote a Ma
poleon avenue car was dynamited
| There were no fatalities because no
passengers were on the car. A crowd
of about 500 rushed to the scene. In
it was acting Mayor Walmsley.
Police, commanded by Capt. Henery
Nelson, arrived and began throwing
tear bombs.
Walmsley and a deputy marshal
clashed. The deputy said, "Ive had
enough of you" The acting mayor
was indignant and narrowly escaped
arrest for violating the injunction. He
issued a statement condemning use of
gas bombs. 1T is outrageous" he
said. Under no conditions will such
conduct be tolerated. The conduct of
the marsals is as bad as that of the
police, throwing tear bombs into a
crowd.
"The crowd was orderly. Without
warning or waiting to get people
back, United States deputy marshals
rushed in, throwing tear bombs. One
dropped at the feet of woman carry
ing baby in her arms. She dropped
the child, but it was picked up before
it could be trampled to possible death.
There is no need for such conduct.

Detroit, Mich. (ILNS)--R. E. Wood
president Of Sears-Roebuck & Co., big
national mail order house with head
quarters in Chicago, evidently does
not know all that his company is do
ing or else he recently made an asser-
ton that he knew was not true.
Mr.. Wood, in letter to the Labor
News of Long Beach, Cal, denied
under date of July 25 that his COM
pany was buying prison-made over
alls. The Detroit Labor News, which
was asked by the Long Beach paper
to investigate Mr.. Woods assertion,
prints letter from the warden of the
state prison at Marquette, Mich,
which proves that SearsRoebuck
buys 72 per cent of the prisons over
all output.
In his letter to the Long Beach
Labor News, Mr.. Wood said: "Over-
alls are not being manufactured for
Sears, Roebuck & Co. at any state
penitentiary or any other penal insti
tuition, and no overalls are purchased
from other sources for sale either in
our mail order or other stores"

London, England.-A new toxin
that will kill millions of human be-

preventive than peace agitation and

The toxin is announced by Prof
Lennard Erskine Hill, of University
College, and until recently a mem
Der of the army medical advisory
board.
He says one teaspoonful of the new
toxin will kill million men.
"The toxin acts if inhaled or if it
falls on the eye as a powder" he said.
IF men set out in airplanes to scat
ter such a toxin what would be the
use of all the panoply of war;"

Labor Paper Proves False
Denial of Mail Order Firm
It Buys No Prison 0veralls

Angeles, Calf; Minneapolis, Minn.;
Philadelphia, Pa; Atlanta, Ga; Sc
attic, Wash, and Boston, Mass.
"Our sales through the office and
| by our own statesmen are approximate
ly 1924 dozen, which would mean
that the business received from Sears,
Roebucy & Co. represented about 1872
per cent; our sales to state institu
tions, per cent; sales made
through our office and through our
own statesmen, 22.2 per cent"
This would indicate that much of
the output of the overall plant at
Marquette is being absorbed by
Sears, Roebuck & Co., notwithstand-
ing Mr.. Woods letter to the con-
trary.
While the stores in Detroit are
not mentioned as one of the points
to which prison-made overalls are
shipped, the Detroit Federation of
Labor is in possession of prison

store.
The revelation by the Detroit Labor
News of the attempt of Sears Roe
buck & Co. to mislead the public in
regard to prison-made overalls, has
added considerably to the troubles of
the mail-order house, which is being
denounced by organized labor all over
the country for giving big printing
contract to the non-union firm of r
r. Donnelley 4 Sons Co of Chicago.

per hour for 1929 is 226, indicating
that earnings per hour in 1929 were
! more than two and one-fourth times
as much in that year as in 1913.
Weekly earnings in the Bessemer de-
partment increased from $33.72 in
1926 to $34.53 in 1929. The index
number indicates that full-time week
ly earnings were nearly one and
tmee-fourths as much in 1929 as
in 1913.
Each of the 16 blast-furnace occu-
pations, save one, had an increase in
customary full-time hours per week
and 13 of the 16 occupations had an
increase in earnings per hour"
How Machinery Hits Jobs
In reporting on the reduction in the
number of workers, the bureau says;
'The greatest percentage of reduc-
tion in total percentage of employees as
between the two years took place in
the plants located in the southern dis
trict. Those in the Pittsburgh dis
trict were second, eastern district
third, and the Great Lakes and Mid
die West district last.
"Much of this labor elimination has
been brought about by the installation
of the pig machine; the use of mod
ern auxiliary equipment, such as pow
er cranes, both locomotive and cleo
trio; new methods of handling ore,
both at the bins and in charging it
into the furnace; and the elimination
or combination of certain classes OF
work. Some of the occupations most
affected by the elimination of jobs
were laborers, keepers helpers, stock
ers. iron handlers and leaders, and
cindermen. The first three occnpa-
tions named were reduced in number
approximately 25 per cent each.
Bessemer Cupolas Disappear
."The II Bessemer- converter estab-
lishments covered in this study are
Identical with those covered in the
1926 study The 1929 study covers
.2,25l employees in all occupations,
which is approximately "a per cent
less than the 2,948 employees covered
in the 1926 study. This reduction in
number of employees is mainly due to
the fact that in 1926 there were five
establishments operating their GU
polas. while in 1929 only two plants
were operating the Bessemer cupolas.
An increasing amount of hot metal
is being charged, and the effect of
this change is clearly seen in the occu-
into the furnace; and the elimination
employed decreased from 317 in 1926
to 156 in 1929 Other occupations
connected with the cupolas for which
separate figures are not presented
were similarly affected. Further,
there has been some reduction in the
number of employees in other occupa-
tions not affected by the non-opera-
tion of the cupolas.
"Of the l9 occupations for which
separate figures are presented only l..
that of ladle liners, shows an increase
in number of employees in. 1929 as
compared with 1926. The total num-
Der of employees in the l9 selected oc-
cupations is 887, which is nearly %
per cent less than the LAB employees
in these same occupations in 1926"

Washington, ID. G. (ILNS)-Earn-
| ings of blast furnace and 'Bessemer
converter workers increased per hour
and per full time week in the three
years from 1926 to 1929 while at the
same time there was a reduction in
the number of men employed, due to
the installation of new or improved
machinery, according to a report to
be made public by the United States
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
In the blast furnaces average earn
| ings per hour increased from SIT
cents in 1926 to 528 cents in 1929,
| while in the same period weekly earn
ngs increased from $30.92 to $32.05.
In the Bessemer converters hourly
earnings increased from GAL to CAB
cents and full-time weekly earnings
from $33.72 to $34.53. The investiga-
ton covered 81 blast furnaces and II
Bessemer converters.
In review of its findings, the bu-
reau says:
The bureau of labor statistics of
the department of labor has just
completed the collection of data in a
study of earnings and hours of labor
in i 10 departments of the iron and
steel industry. The period covered by
this survey was in nearly all instances
the first half of March, 1929.
Data Is Representative
ut was not possible to make a
wage census of all establishments in
the industry, but the data collected
for each of the several departments
were obtained from a sufficient num-
Der of selected plants in each district
fairly to represent conditions in the
several localities.
Similar studies have been made in
this industry in earlier years. The
last preceding study was made in
1926 when data were gathered as Of
the last half of January of that year
and published in Bulletin 442. When
ever possible the 1929 data were OBJ
tanned from the same establishments
as were covered in 1926.
"Full-time hours of labor of blast
furnaces increased from 59S hours in
1926 to 6O.7 in 1929. The full-time
hours per week in 1929 were, how
ever. but 79 per cent of the full-time
hours in 1913, as shown by the index
numbers. In other words, the full
time hours per week in blast furnaces
were reduced Il per cent as compared
with 1918.
Average Earnings Gain
Average earnings per hour for all
the employees covered in this industry
increased from 51.7 cents in 1926 to
52.8 cents in 1929 The index number
for earnings per hour in 1929 is 23S.
indicating that earnings per hour
were more than two and one-half
times as much in 1929 as in 1913.
Full-time weekly earnings in blast
furnaces increased from $3092 in
1926 to $32.05 in 1929. The rate of
increase of full-time weekly earnings
was greater than that in earnings per
hour because of the increase in full
time hours per week. The full-time
weekly earnings in 1913 were $15.76
and so full-time weekly earnings were
more than twice as much in 1929 as
in 1918, the index number being 203.
"In the Bessemer-converter depart
ment full-time hours per week in
creased from 52.6 in 1926 to 53.7 in
1929. Full-time hours per week de-
creased % per cent as compared with

where the weary heart sought ref
uge and whispered, "Follow me-"
Rather reluctantly the bird came
out of the shadows-into the light.
The sunbeam led him to a pansy-
colored butterfly, caught in a fish
erman's net. At first the little bird
hated the butterfly for it's beauty /;
but, as he saw it imprisoned and
suffering, his little heart fluttered
with pity and love. Flying quickly
to the net, he industriously picked
away the threads with his sharp bill
until the butterfly was free. AS it
spread its gorgeous wings and
scared away, the little King felt a
warm glow of gratitude and he was
glad-for the butterfly
The sunbeam came again and
whispered, "Follow me-" This time
the little bird came willingly, joy
fully, just as the great ship reached
the Land of the Setting Sun. Over
the ripping waves he flew and lol
he saw a new reflection in the wa
tiers, for his plumage shown in
glory with the sunset on the sea.
"Can this be II" he asked of the
sunbeam and the sunbeam whis-
pered, 1.-THE real you" The dear
little bird was so rejoiced that he
sought the most beautiful red rose
tree in the worlds most beautiful
garden in which to build his nest
back in the land where birds of
brilliant plumage dwelt. Did he then
seek the l0veliest of all the bright
birds for his mate? No. He chose
the homelieSt of all his species, say
ing, II will teach her to reflect the
sunlight of Love that she too may
know the joy of making others
happy"
When the Great Father, who
loves all the birds, saw our King,
wanting to share his new-found
beauty and blessing, He caused
three tiny eggs to be placed in the
nest-eggs tinted like the afterglow
of evening-unlike any our King
had eve seen.
One day when the father bird
came with a store of ripe berries
10 feed the patient little mother,
the eggs were broken and three
wee birds, as respondent in beau
y as the sunset on the sea. chirped
heir eager greeting.
The garden rang with the wild
notes of his rapture. Again the
sunbeam came and whispered.
Your children shall always be
The Birds of the Crimson
Gather.
"Why, Daddy, you've had a nice
and you look so rested!" cried
he radiant Martha. Eyes, dear"

HAPPY NEW YEAR,

Look not mournfully into tht
past; it comes not back again
Wisely improve the present; it is
thine. Go forth to meet the shad
owy future without fear and with
a manly heart" From the dead
and withered wing of 1929 we
pluck a quill to write Happy on
the leaf of the New Year. "The
king is dead, long live the king
is humanity's war cry as each
New Year peeps over Times hor-
lion. Resolutions, like laws, are
made to be broken and Hades is
paved with them.
If 1929 is an irreparable past,
1880 is an available future. All
of us have made mistakes. None
of is are what we should have
been. In the future we may be
more than we have been in ev-
erything that makes for character
and culture.
Life's golden age is not in the
past but in the throbbing present.
Sin, suffering, disappointed
hopes, plans and ambitions, al
ways leav? regrets, but We must
forget mistakes or grow melancho-
ly. The man who painfully climbs
the mountain is rewarded with a
broader outlook.
