HIGH WAGE THEORY IS
 NOW FIXED
William Green, President of American Labor,
 Makes Statement
By WILLIAM GREEN President American Federation of
 IabOr)

Labor
 The outstanding feature of the year 1929 was the general accept ance of the principles long main tained by the American Federation of Labor = that acute unemploy- ment could be eliminated and that the higher the wages the greater the prosperity.
 Added to this was the remark able increase in the number of em- ployers and others who believe that the five-day, 40-hour week is an absolute necessity to the future of our country.
 In season and out of season for nearly 50 years these principles have been preached by the Amer ican Federation of Labor and it's affiliated organizations.
 In the early days of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, employ CTS believed that the way to make good times in hard times was to reduce wages and increase the hours in the workday. While con- siderable ground was gained against these theories, it was not until the great war that it became general knowledge that high wages and continuous employment for the workers brought real pros perity.
 The conferences under the lead- ership of the President are giving every thought to devising ways and means of keeping men and women at work at adequate wages.
 Both the nation and the States are preparing to launch activities that will give employment. All the experts and skilled men in indus try and finance have been com mandeered to work out plan Of action. All this promises relief and will establish irrevocably the fact that unemployment can be cured and that high wages will permit those who work to live in reasonable comfort. Therefore, more continuous happiness than was thought possible few years ago will be the result.
 Another outcome of the years work was the acceptance by lead ing members of Congress of the principles of e bill to limit the use of injunctions in labor disputes.

 One by one they told stories of their political past-methods they had employed to get votes, moves to which they had resorted to bring opponents into disfavor in the eyes of the electorate, humor- ous things that had occurred in their numerous campaigns.
 An unusual incident was related by a man now serving his fourth term in the House. A veteran cam paigner, he described the experi- ence as the most peculiar in all his career
 The last time he came up for reelection he had the strongest opposition he had ever encountered. In the closing days of the cam

 CT, Bound for Seattle

After being snipwrecked off Mar mot Island. near the north end of Kodiak Island, on March 26, and losing their halibut schooner Pana- ma, nine men from that boat are on their way to Seattle on the Ad- miral Watson.
 The boat became lost in blind ing snowstorm last Wednesday, ac- cording to the story told by Henry Austrem, captain and owner Of the Panama. In attempting to pick up a shore light located near by, the Panama circled the vicinity keeping a sharp lookout When she ran aground they were travelling slowly, but sharp rock pierced the bow of the schooner and swells that were running be- gan to toss the stern about. By the time the men had taken to the dories the Panama was pounding 70 pieces.

 The state does not nominate a governor this year.
 American adherence to the world court has come to the fore as an issue between those seeking the Senatorial nominations of both par ties, pushing farm relief and tariff into the background.
 Mrs. Mccormick and Senator De- .neen have stumped the state, al- most from end to end, and both bring to the struggle an astuteness gained in the practical school of politics.
 Senator Deneen has risen to lead ership in Illinois Republican ranks against shrewd competition. Mrs. Mccormick, after years of academic interest, actively entered the poli- tical field two years ago when she was elected Congressman-at large.
 Adelbert McPherson, Newto n Jenkins, and Abe Lincoln Wisler, all of Chicago, are other candidates for the Republican Senatorial nomi- nation.
 Seeking the Democratic choice, besides Lewis, are Harold Beach Chicago; James H. Kirby, Peters burg; James O. Monroe, Chicago and Louis Warner, Chenoa.

 From another came story of HOW a slip on the part of city directory census taker helped him defeat an opponent.
 My opponent was visiting his son in a town outside the district when the city directory was being compiled. By some quirk his name was printed in the directory in stead of that of his son.
 Tn my speeches throughout the rural districts, carried several of the directories and pointed out that my opponent was not even resi- dent of the district-and here was yhe proof" But it seemed there were people who knew nothing of city direc- tories.

 He had hardly reached the spot where the man was lying when from out of the darkness came the command to put 'em up" The prostrate figure came to life and was joined by his companion from the darkness.

Former President Taft
Continues His Improvement
Attending Physicians Warn Family
Against Over-Confidence as
Condition Is Serious

Washington, March 5.-After q
very good night" William Howard
Taft was said by his attendants to
be stronger and more alert than
this morning
The former chief justice spoke
to his nurse this morning and ap
peared to have continued the slight
Improvement which during the
past few days had caused some OF
the fear that his death was immin-
ent, to dissipate. The attendants
however, said there had been moth
ing to indicate any error in the
verdict by his physicians that his
case was hopeless s
His physicians, DR. Francis r
Hagner and DR.. Thomas A. Clay
ton, continue to warn against the
over-optimism as a result of their
patients holding his own through
out the last few days.
Eventually, and, they say, it
may come at any time, Mr. Taft
must succomb to the combination
of ailments that he is combating
Most serious of these is hardening
of the arteries, which is believed
to be placing an undue strain up
on Mr.. Taft's heart.
For the first timein a week, the
physicians last night omitted a
customary late evening visit at the
beside of their patient.
