Publicity Worries Company
The strike committee has sent
groups of workers into new territory
to tell the dramatic and colorful story
of the Allen-A lockout to labor un-
ions, civic organizations, women's
clubs and student bodies. In every
city in which these young strikers
have appeared so far they have sue
ceeded in arousing unusual interest in
their cause. The publicity spotlight
which has been turned on the Allen-A
situation has undoubtedly had very
serious effect on the sales of Allen-A
hosiery, and the company has been
forced to issue a printed circular to
send to the many individuals through
out the country that have either pro-
tested against the labor policy of the
company or have asked for informa-
tion regarding the strike situation.

COSSACK BACKERS
Revive Plan to Gain One
Man Power

Washington.-Cossack legislation is
being urged in several midwest
states, according to reports received
at A. F. of L. headquarters.
Cossack advocates present the
threadbare argument of protection to
the farmer and highway patrol.
The patrol argument was exposed
by Missouri trade unionists at the
last session of that legislature, when
they favored an effective highway
police whose power would be limited
to enforcing traffic regulations. The
cossack advocates showed no interest
in that bill and the lawmakers per-
mitted it to slumber in committee.
Cossack pleaders are not interested
in the farmer or highway regulation.
These pleas is stage scenery to de-
tract from the real purpose-to have
a police power in the hands of the
governor and take control of law en-
forcement from the people The
"joker" in cossack bills would make
the superintendent of cossacks respon-
sible not to the people but to the
governor.

New York City CT. L. N. S.)-Car-
rying forward the biggest move yet

tiating in 20 others, including Chi
cago

MUSICIANS
Back Bill in Congress to De.
fine Artist

Washington, d. c. U. L. N. 81
Under the terms of a resolution in
troduced sin the house by Represent
tative Johnson, of Washington,
chairman of the house immigration
committee, congress would be called
upon to define the word "artist" as
applied to foreign musicians seeking
entrance to the United States.
1t has been the practice of the de-
partment of labor to allow applica-
ton of the word to any professional
musician from abroad, which privi-
leges the immigrant to admission to
the United States under the ''profes-
sional artist exemption clause of the
immigration act of 1917.
According to Joseph n Weber,
president of the American Federation
of Musicians, the development of talk
ing pictures and sound pictures has
brought about an acute unemploy-
ment situation, which is being aggra-
waited by the influx of foreign musi-
clans.
Representative Johnson's resolution
would restrict the word "artist" to
instrumental musicians of distin-
guished merit and ability" and would
allow the admission of such perform
ers only for concerts at definite times
and places. The musician would be
required, Furthermore, to post bond
assuring departure at stipulated
date.

COAL OUTLOOK
Is Not So Good Due to Boss
IncOmpetency

New York.-Leaders in the bitum-
lnous coal industry are not optimis-
tic over their business outlook the
coming year. They forced wage con-
cessions from union miners in the
northern fields, after a strike that
lasted nearly two years. Freight
rates on lake cargo coal is also mora
favorable to the northern fields.
Despite these advantages the oper-
ators are gloomy. Excess production
is a stumbling block and last year
many companies went into bank
ruptcy although they had free hand
in setting wages.
1t IS estimated that there are 500,
600 workers employed in mining coal
If it were not for the seasonal swings
in the industry it is estimated that
$4,000 could mine sufficient coal for
the country's needs. Because the
coal operators refuse to stabilize their
industry the seasonal demands COM
pei the industry to be equipped to
mine so per cent more coal in some
periods of the year than in others.
The United Mine Workers are urg-
ing congress to aid these incompetent
coal operators to place this industry
on its feet, but the business men
talk of the "law of supply and de-
mand" and cling to ancient shibbo-
leths while coal in mined below pro-
ductoin costs and workers are paid
a starvation wage.

for night work and STAG for split

If cost living figures advance
more than " per cent during the life
of the agreement the scale will be
reopened to meet new conditions. If
the living costs decrease the scale
will not be affected.

POCKET VETO CASE
With Bearing On Muscle
Shoals, Before High
Court

Washington.-Th United States
supreme court is considering the le-
gality of a presidential pocket veto
of law which would permit Indians
to sue the government for lands
taken from them without compensa-
ton.
The decision will have direct bear
ing on the Muscle Shoals bill which
was also given the pocket veto by
the president, who did not sign the
bill nor did he return the bill with
his objections to congress.
The controversy centers around a
definition of what constitutes an ad-
journment of congress, as provided by
Section 7, Article Of the constitu-
ton.
That section declares: "If any bill
shall not be returned by the presi-
dent within 10 days (Sundays ex-
cepted) after it shall have been pre-
sented to him, the same shall be a
law, in like manner as if he had sign
ed it, unless the congress by their ad-
journment prevents it's return, in
which case it shall not be law"
The Indians, together With dfeend-
ers of the Muscle Shoals law, insist
that adjournment of congress"
means final adjournment and not an
adjournment of the same congress for
several days or for several months.
This is the first time the supreme
court has been called upon to decide
this technicality.

Where Did Men Go?
"Who absorbed the men?" he
asked. "Only census can aid us in
determining what has become Of
them"
Referring to new invention by
which linotype machines will be oper-
ated by telegraph from a point miles
away, Mr.. Stewart said:
"This will eventually destroy the
printing trade"
Questioned by Senator Couzens as
to what would become of these men,
Mr. Stewart said that the printing
trade was of high intelligence, and
absorption into other industries would
consequently be greater than if the
one can say, however, how they will
be absorbed.
Unemployed Figures Not Given
In his reply to the Wagner resolu-
tion during the last session of con-
gress asking for information on the
number of unemployed, Mr. Stewart

Labor Department Suggests
Census Bureau Obtain Data
On Extent Of Unemployment

Washington, d. C. q. l.. N. 81
A move which may lead to the gath
ering of accurate statistics no unem-
ployment, now unavailable, has been
made by the United States depart
ment of labor, Commissioner of Labor
Statistics Ethelbert Stewart told the
senate committee on education and
labor which is investigating unem-
ployment under the authority of a
resolution introduced by Senator Cou-
zens, of Michigan.
The move to which Mr.. Stewart re-
ferred was request sent to the sec
retary of commerce by the secretary
of labor for inclusion in the 1890
population census blanks of questions
which will give the number of unem-
ployed and unemployable. Mr.. Stew
art said he did not know whether the
request had been acted upon by CEN
sus bureau officials.
Unemployment Census Needed
Necessity for census Of the unem-
ployed and unemployable as funda-
mental basis upon which to begin the
solution of the unemployment prob
lem was urged by Mr.. Stewart in
appearing before the committee.
With a census of unemployment, the
bureau of labor statistics could ap-
ply the index of the volume of unem-
ployment and ascertain the actual ex-
tent of unemployment, he said.
With the information now at hand,
continued Mr.. Stewart, all the bureau
Of labor statistics can do is estimate
shrinkage in employment in estab-
lished industries.
On January /, 1929, he said that
10000 more persons were employed
in these established industries than
on January /, 1928, reduction in
Shrinkage of az per cent.
Argues for State Action
The chairman of the committee took
the position that the problems of the
unemployed and the unemployable are
for the states in particular to solve.
Mr.. Stewart said that he did not
believe it purely state. question in
asmuch as unemployment affects buy
ing power and buying power affects
commerce, which is interstate.
"That the question is local or for
the states does not appeal to me-
he declared. Unemployment is a
world problem"
Mr. Stewart contended that while
the causes for unemployment might
be local. the absorption of that unem-
ployment was national He cited the
case of a copper company which in
creased production of copper per man
from 610 pounds to zoos pounds,
hence reducing employment from over
800 to less than 200. At the same
time the output was increased from
