WHAT NEXT?

The electric eye," or the photo
electric cell as it is technically known,
a device which can be made to open
doors and closets, and other mech
anisms, has been employed by pub
lie health officials in underground
tunnels to control ventilation and in
water cribs to aid in the publication
of water supplies, according to the
New York state department OF
health.
The photo-electric cell will un-
doubtedly be employed in many other
ways in public health work, the de-
partment stated. In large garages
and repair shops the cell might be
advantageously employed in cole
weather to start ventilating fan as
soon as the exhaust gases become
dense, it was poined out, and in like
manner, it might be used in indus
trial plants where dust and fumes

Union Railway Workers In
Solid Stand For Less Hours
Following BrotherhOods' Approval of Six-Hour Day
Proposal, Shopcraft Unions Endorse Five-Day Week.

Chicago (ILNS)-Virtually all or
ganized railroad labor is now lined up
for shorter hours with no reduction
of pay as a means of alleviating un-
employment among railroad workers.
Latest to endorse the movement is the
executive council of the railway en-
ployes' department, American Feder-
alton of Labor, which has adopted a
program seeking a five-day week with
no decrease in wages. The railway
employees department represents the
shopcraft unions with membership
of 100000.
Endorsement of the fve-day week
program followed approval of COM
paign for the six-hour day with no
pay cuts, given here at conference
just adjourned attended by represen-
tatives of the big Four" Railroad

for the union. Final acceptance of
this agreement would have instituted
a closed shop for ten years.
The Board of Trade, however, de-
manded certain interpretations of the
language used by Green in his find
ings, and the final signatures were
held up. On July / the Board of
Trade definitely withdrew from the
tentative agreement.
Contending that it's prestige and
effectiveness have been hurt by the
action of the Structural Steel Board
of Trade, the union estimates that it
has suffered damages which "in any
event will exceed $1,000, ,000."
The history Of the dispute over the
"open shop" in steel work dates back
to 1905.

Labor, which has been trying to ad-
Just the differences between the In

For November Higher Than
Worst, Months Last
Winter

Washington. - Out-of-work figures
for November received at A. +. OF l..
headquarters from local affiliates
show that unemployment is already
as serious as it was IN the worst
month last winter.
"Such condition at the beginning
of winter months is alarming, as un-
employment usually increases, even in
normal years, as much as so per cent
from November to February, the
bulletin states. cit is clear from our
reports that unemployment this WIN
ter will be fully as serious as expect

relief are urgent.

ployment of union members increased
from 81 per cent in October to % per

26 per cent in metals, 33 per cent in
manufacturing, and 21 per cent in
food industries and in shipping
trades. Doubtless this very large
part-time employment represents eff
forts of some manufacturers to pre-
vent lay-offs by dividing work"
The Bulletin refers to public inn
provements that are started, work in
parks and streets and money collect
ed for relief, but makes this signifi-
cant statement:

clearly that permanent organization

essential"

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Sign-
ing this week of treasury department
regulations covering importation of
convict-made goods brings to inter
national unions interested in imports
one of the biggest victories those
organizations have had since they en-
tered the recent tariff fight.
Regulations, as signed and as now
in effect, relate only to convict labor
products. These are barred from i'm
port on complaint of any citizen, un-
less the importer can prove in an
American customs court that no con-
Wet labor entered into the making of
the product. Pending decision bond
must be posted by the importer up to
the full value of the shipment.
The regulations apply to all nations
alike and will cut a wide sweep
tkruugh tropical imports. 1t is ex-
pected they will hit hard at soviet
imports. In January, 1882, the same
restrictions will apply to imports of
commodities in the production of
which there is any kind of involuntary
labor.
Rule Now in Effect
The treasury department regula-
tions affecting the admission of i'm
ports which are in any way the prod
uct of convict labor, now put into
effect, will Immediately result in bar
ring such products on the filing of a
complaint, until it has been proven to
the satisfaction of the department
| that convict labor has not entered into
| their production.
1t is proposed that in such cases
there shall be required the filing of
an adequate bond covering the value
of the cargo or shipment, the fur
| nishing of consular invoice descrip-
| tive of the goods, and the definite
j proof of the character of the labor
entering into the production of the
| goods.
| It's provisions are general in char
acter, and not confined to any one
country. While it will affect the ship
ments Of lumber, pulp wood man
ganese, coal and other goods from So.
Wet Russia, it is all beginning tt
appear that the effect may be unex
pectedly fer-resching, in that it may
affect rubber from the African ant
East Indian countries, vanilla ant
other spices from oriental lands, anc
nickel and ether minerals, including
some gold. In these products it may
affect shipments from lands controlled
/ by the British, French, Belgian
Italian and other nations.

Has the OF swimming pool lost It's
lure?
Something has happened. For
playing hooky. once childhood's most
popular pastime, has become obso-
iete.
During the first six weeks Of the
present school term, only five stu
dents have played hooky from high
school, according to K. G. Dodd,
principal. Several years ago, the
number would have been closer to so.
Mr.. Dodd estimated.
Playing hooky is not confined TO
boys. OF the number that has brok-
en- the school law, the break has been
about fifty-fifty. Three we're boys
and two were girls.
The local principal told of an
amusing incident connected with
hooky- players. When he va prin-

three boys were absent one day, and
upon their return to classes, explain
ed that ones aunt had died, an
other had 10 deliver various articles

years later the same three boys play
