OCC IN COLUMBUS

Stanley Ogg, corresponding secre-
tary of the COOPERATIVE Trades and
Labor Council, and also one of the
vice presidents of the Ohio State
Federation of Labor, left Wednesday
morning for Columbus. While there
he will attend the public hearings on
the old age pension bill, yellow dog
contract bill and the constabulary
bill. Trade unionists from every
nook and corner of the state will be
there to attend these hearings. Labor
in Ohio does not expect any big
things from the present state legis-
lature. State republican administra-
tions in Ohio have never passed
many laws favorable to the working
people, and not much is expected this
year Ogg will return the latter
part of the week. NJ O. Burns, AL
bert Brown and Robert Fallert rep
resented the Eagles at the old age
pension hearing.

TRADE UNIONISTS
URGE S0CIAL.LAWS

San Francisco.-Officials of the Cali
fornia Federation Of Labor call on af-
filiates to urge the State legislature
to support labor's legistive program.
The three outstanding proposals
are an increase in the maximum COM
pensation benefits for injury and
death, abrogation of the yellow dog
contract and an anti-injunction bill.
Other proposals include an old-age
pension law, repeal of the criminal
syndicalism act, fve-day week for
State employees and prohibiting ben
zol in the manufacture and application
of paint.
Trade unionists are urged to visit
their State legislators and explain
these acts. "If we show an interest in
the welfare of ourselves and our fell
low citizens, we are bound to impress
legislators" said Paul Scharrenberg,
secretary treasurer of the federation,

CANADIAN LABOR
URGES MOREPAY
FOR P0STMEN

Ottawa U. l.. N. SIN its annual
interview with the Canadian govern
ment recently the executive of the
Trades and Labor Congress of Ca
NADIA urged redress of the grievances
of the letter carriers. In 1918 the
wages of Canadian letter carriers
were on par with those of policemen
and fremen and $50 more year than
those of the letter. carriers of the
Unied States. In 1919 letter carriers
were placed under the Civil Service
Commission, whose powers are so
wide that it has repeatedly turned
down recommendation of the Post
master General respecting salary in
cEeases and classification. The result
was that a comparison made in 1927
showed that the maximum salary of
a Canadian letter carrier was $1,500
a year, against an average of $3.50
for policemen and fremen, and a
maximum for letter carriers in the
United States of $4,000.

UNIONISTS RESIST
COURT CONTROL

Albany, N. Y.-The State FEEDER
alton of Labor is supporting a bill
that would exclude wages and hours
contracts between trade unions and
employers from the State arbitration
law.
The unionists insist that the law
was designed to only affect business
contracts of purchase and sale and
was not intended to apply to the com
plicated relations between human
beings.
Under the law, when two business
men have dispute, the matter can
be referred to an arbitrator, whose
decision has the same force as a deci-
sion by regular court.
A Buffalo lower court has held that
the law apparently" applied to labor
unions and employers wages and
hours agreements. In another case il
was held not to apply.
"It was never intended to apply in
such agreements, declared officials
of the State Federation.

The hips "go into the swing"
true enough. but they go into it
not circularly, but along straight
line action, as we have discussed.
Actually, one of the secrets of
the long-carrying ball is the
knack of getting the hips straight
into the swing. To accomplish
that, however, by all means avoid
violently trying hip force. Begin
with easy swings and note how
the middle body naturally swings
through with the club. Then
progress with longer swings, al.
ways keeping the hip action timed
perfectly with the swing. Just az
YOU avoid force and power in
swinging, remember that the hip
action Is more a matter of tim
ing and smoothness, too. than
one of violence and 1erkiness of
power. Violent power application
win almost certainly lead to a
rotary pivot-and from that, so
many troubles win develop that

NEW YORK, July 23.-l
paid a visit to the Receiving
Hospital in Detroit a few days
ago to visit a couple of little
kids who had been injured
during a ball game at Navin
Field. The kids were in pretty
bad shape battered, broken
and bruised. One of them,
perhaps, will never be really

Those two kids had fallen off q

to climb UP the wire-and It gave

that Is unnecessary and therefore
much worse than any other kind. X
there had only been someone around
