PETRIFIED HARDW0ODS

Yale Professors New Mexico Spec

NEW HAVEN, Conn, April 8.-Dis-
covery of perhaps the largest and Oldest
of all petrifled hardwood forests was
made known here Sunday by Prof.
George r. Wieland Of Yale University,
who performed field work in the San
Juan bas.n Of NeW Mexico the last
two Summers.
There he gathered specimens OF
hardwoods, petrified cycads, palmettoS,
ciumps of tree fern roots, the more
usual pines, together with some bones
of turtles and dinosaurs, oil OF which
he estimated lived about 100000 900
years ago.
In the period known as the Mesa
Verde division Of the Upper Cretaceous
time, the great interior Pierre Sea
stretched from the region OF the present
Gulf of Mexico to the Arctic Ocean,
and the present San Juan Basin re-
gion constituted a great fiat country
of swamps and bayouS. These fos-
sis from the Mesa Verde of the San
Juan Basin in their extraordinary
variety make possible one of those rare
opportunities when we can bring to
light a landscape Of bygone times, !"

"GO-SLOW" PLAN
URGED BY CHI
CAGO ATTORNEY

Boston. - Old-fashioned sabotage,
dressed in well rounded sentences,
was urged by Silas H. Strawn, lead
ing Chicago lawyer, at meeting of
the Boston Chamber of Commerce.
Mr.. Strawn did not mention sabo-
tage, which is a criminal offense in
certain states. This is the way he
put over the idea:
''The greatest problem that now
confronts this country is to gear down
our productive machinery so that it
will synchronize with our consump-
tive capacity"
The Chicago lawyer urged business
men to contribute to unemployment
funds, not because of justice, or even
charity, "but because they are pre-
miums on insurance against social
ism or even worse"

President Hoover Acts on
Plea Of Textile Workers
Directs That Complaint From Union Against Wage Cut
ting Be Laid Immediately Before Secretary of Labor
For Action.

Employers in other industries have
generally maintained your request
that wages should not be lowered at
this time. Textile employers, on the
contrary, have not carried out your
request, although they have been the
greatest benefciaries of traiff ad-
justments.
In view of the great publicity given
your statements as our president on
the maintaining of higher standards
of living among American workers,
we respectfully request that you di-
rect the secretary of labor to make
investigation of wage reductions in
he textile industry, for the purpose
of giving you first-hand information
to enable you to take such action you
think advisable, as president of the
United States, to protect the health
and happiness of the millions de-
pendent on wages received in the tex
tile industry.
Respectfully submitted,

international President, United Tex
tile Workers of America.

YOUNG employees
SUFFER INJURIES

Washington.-M Machinery is respon-
sible for more industrial accidents,
proportionally, to boys and girls than
to men and women, according to the
United States Women's Bureau.
Many accidents to women happened
to girls under q, much larger pro-
portion of women than men being in
this group. Young women were
found to be permanently disabled
more often than were elder wmoen.
The bureau states that laws pro-
hibiting employment of boys and
girls under Is in dangerous occupa-
tions should include all minors under
21, since young workers in general
are likely to be more careless and
venturesome than are adults.

Senate to Take Vote
on Injunction Measure
Republican Steering Committee Agrees Not to Block
Efforts of Norris to Bring Bill Up on FIoor-Green
Urges Speed in Unemployment Relief

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Action
on the amended Shipstead anti-in-
junction bill in the present congress
session seems assured by the agree
ment of the senate republican steer
ing committee not to block the efforts
of Senator Norris to bring the meas
ure up on the floor. The committee
at the same time denied the request
of Senator Norris for a preferred
place on the calendar for the measure.
In a conference with the commit
tee, Senator Norris made it plain that
he intended to bring the Shipstead
bill up on the floor and would make
a hard fight to pass it. The committee
agreed to explain at the time that its
refusal to give the bill a preferred
place was without prejudice to con-
sideration of the measure.
The committee agreed upon policy
of not letting any controversial meas
ures get ahead of unemployment and
other relief legislation arising out of
the business depression and drought
situation.
While the committee was meeting,
President William Green, of the
American Federation of Labor issued
a statement appealing for speeding
up of relief measures. He said that
the number of unemployed is con-
stantly increasing, and the country is
entering the winter with crisis
already on our hands" Even now, he

of effort. There should be no lower
ing of protective measures and no
surrender of safeguards against in
jury and loss of life secured through
legislation.
Free men and women cannot
yield to tyranny and injustice. They
cannot submit to a lowering of work
ing and living standards without pro-
test and without resistance.

self to the maintenance of wage
schedules and working standards. 1t
is the duty of all working people to
support this policy and to hold fast
to the wage levels already estab-
lished
Many Fair Employers
Fortunately, there are many en-
ployers Of labor who believe in the
philosophy of high wages. They un-
derstand that if we are to consume
the products of industry the purchas-
ing power of the masses of the peo-
pie must be maintained at a point
where it will balance with the facil-
tiles of production. Those public
enemies among employers who will
not willingly subscribe to this hu-
name and sound economic policy
should be compelled, through the re-
sisting power of working men and
women and the pressure of sound
public opinion, to maintain wages
hours of labor and conditions of en-
ployment which are in accord with
American traditions and the Amer
lean standard of living"

Dear Mr. President:
The United Textile Workers of
America, affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor, strongly pro-
tests against the action of textile
manufacturers in reducing wages in
discriminatory We were assured by
textile manufacturers that if we CO.
operated with them to secure higher
duties on certain lines of textile i'm
ports, wages would not be reduced.

Declare 1t Is Patriotic Duty to Resist Cuts
Free Men and Women Cannot Yield to Tyranny" Amer
ican Federation of Labor Head Says in Blstering
DenuncatiOn

Washington, d. C. ILNS)-Em-
ployers who are taking advantage of
economic and industrial distress to
lower living standards through fore
ed reductions in wages "can we'll be
classified as public enemies" William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, declared today
"The wrongs which they are per-
petrating are against the public" he
said, land serve to undermine our
national economic structure at a time
when the leaders in government and
public spirited people are striving to
maintain wage standards so that we
can facilitate and hasten reutrn to
normal conditions"
President Green declared it was
the patriotic duty of the American
workers to resist with all their power
any attempt to reduce wages.
Wrongs Against Public
y,
ing war periods or times of peace" he
said, there are those who attempt to
exploit the workers and thus secure
an unfair economic and industrial adj
vantage. In the present emergency
created as a result of widespread un-
employment, history is repeating it
self.
"There are employers who are TAX
ing advantage of economic and indus
trial distress to lower living stand
ards through forced reductions of
wages. Such men can well be classi-
fled as public enemies. The wrongs
which they are perpetrating are
against the public and serve to under
mine our national economic structure
at a time when the leaders in gov
ernment and public spirited people
are striving to maintain wage stand
ards SO that we can facilitate and
hasten a return to normal conditions.
These men, exploiting the economic
necessity of unemployed working peo-
pie, force them, in their hour of great
est need, to accept lower wages.
"The employers to whom / refer
are found in the textile industry, the
bituminous coal industry, the boot and
shoe industry and in some other mis-
cellaneous manufacturing enterprises.
Because of their action a substan-
tial decrease in the purchasing power
of these workers, who become their
victims, is brought about and to that
extent the day of returning pros
perity and normal industrial activity
is being delayed and an injury is in
| flicted upon those industries where
employers and workes are heroically
endeavoring to maintain established
wage standards.
Patriotism in Resistance
Because all good citizens are
striving to bring about a return to
normal conditions and because we are
dealing with the problem of unem-
ployment in practical and construc-
tive way, it is the patriotic duty of
American workers to resist, with all
the power they possess, any attempt
of employers and corporations to re-
duce wages or lower the standards
which have been set. Working peo-
! pie will render great service to or
ganized society if they will be alert
and vigilant in the enforcement of all
safety measures which have been se-
cured for them after so many years
