COMBINE IS URGED
TO STABILIZE Jobs
Or. Nicholas Murray Butler
Suggests Union of Basic
Industries.

By the Associated Press.
SOUTHAMPTON. N. Y, September
7.--Dr Nicholas Murray Butler, presi-
dent Of Columbia University, in an ad-
dress last night suggested that COM
bine of several great basic industries"
should be formed to stabilize employ
ment.
DR.. Butler, speaking in the Parrish
Art Museum, declared the industries
should be 80 organized in the interest
of the general public as to control pro-
duction within the limits OF proper
balance with an expanding power OF
consumption"
Stability Practicable.
He said it would then be practicable
both to stabilize and to regularize en-
ployment" within the field Of each one
of a considerable number of large in
dustrieS which are easily susceptible OF
regional or nationwide organization.
The next step" DR.. Butler said in
celebrating upon the plan, should be
to make each one OF these organized
industries feel responsible for the en-
ployment and care Of its great body of
workmen.
when a new enterprise is under
taken and new capital sought, every
consideration is given to studying the
estimated production Of the factory or
factory return upon the money invested
may be assured
why should not an equal amount of
study be given to the problem Of how
many work people are stately needed
for the enterprise and as to what pro-
vision can be made for their security
within the limits of the ordinary f1uc-
tuation of the rise and fall Of the pro-
duction of the business.
Employed Care Policy.
"Why should not the care and pro-
lection of the employed be made as
much a part of the policy of any great
business undertaking as are the care
and protection of the money invested?"
DR.. Butler spoke also on various forms
of employment insurance which have
been brought to the fore in the present
economic depression and approved sug-
gestions for five-day week and even
tually a siX-hour day.

LAUNDRY EXPERT
ADVISES CAREFUL
met BAL" WASHING
Saves You Money By
Saving Your Clothes

Present-day laundry methods, which
preserve clothes as well as clean them,
are far superior to the old home
method Of rubbing and scrubbing, &C.
cording to Mr.. E. F. Wesley, chief Of
the Research Department of Manhat-
tan Laundry. Mr.. Wesley attributes a
large part of the Manhattan Laundry's
success to their Net Bag System of
| washing.
Manhattan Laundry adopted the Net
Bag for washing clothes six years ago.
Clothes, they agreed. could be washed
just as clean in net bags and would
wear longer if rubbing and scrubbing
were eliminated.
Manhattan's famous Net Bag Sys-
tenn of washing, as described by Mr..
Wesley, follows: First, the clothes are
assorted according TO their color and
material and placed in individual net
bags which bear the customers name
and contain only that customers ar
ticles. Safe in the nets and protected
from all metal or other hard surfaces,
the clothes go into the washers. Here
they are subjected to the gentle cleans
ing action of swirling hot suds which
penetrate each garment and loosen
every particle of dirt. Only the purest
of Palm Oil soaps and soft. filtered
water are used, after first having been
inspected and tested by the Research
Department. Many rinsings Of fresh,
clear water follow, removing every
trace of dirt from the clothes and
| leaving the fabrics refreshed and clean.
They are then dried, starched where
necessary and ironed by the most
modern methods.
That clothes wear longer and look
better when washed in Net Bags has
been proven by test after test. For
| instance, two shirts, exactly the same,
w ere washed fifty times each, one in
.net bag, the other by hand. At the
end of the test the net-bag washed
shirt showed absolutely no signs OF
wear, while the hand-washed shirt had
become a sad combina ton of rough
edges, torn seams and broken buttons.
Other tests on all sorts of wearing
| apparel are being carried on regularly
and in every case show the Net Bag
System. to be far superior in preserving
| the original sheen of the cloth. At
Manhattan the Nets Get the Wear and
the Clothes Get the Wash.

Washington, D. c. (ILNS) Wide

group of engineers, federal officials,
educators, and civic leaders who,
through the Eyesight Conservation
Council, are planning nationwide
movement to protect the eyes of in
dustrial workers and of children, in
the scools, is urged by Helen Keller.
"If everyone were to be blind for
just one day, then all would realize
the priceless possession they have in
eyesight, and would do everything to
keep their eyes well and strong" Miss
Keller declares in a statement issued
by tn ecouncil.
"Since nature does not impose such
a severe lesson on each individual,
there are many who take their vision
too much for granted forgetting that
sight must be protected and conserv-
ed, if one is to enjoy this blessing
throughout the entire span of life"
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor; Sem
ator James J. Davis, of Pennsyl-
vania; Surgeon General Hugh S. Cum

those who are participating in the

FOOD PRICES
Out of All Proportion, Sen
atOr Declares

Washington. increasing differ
ence in prices paid to the producer
and those paid by the consumer dur
ing the last 10 years was revealed
by a senate committee that has been
investigating food costs.
Senator Capper, chairman of the
committee, said no satisfactory ex-
planation has been offered.
"There is cause for alarm in the
market tendency toward consolidation
and combination among those ham
ding foodstuffs," said Mr.. Capper.
"It is menace to the country when
bread, milk, meat and other food
stuffs are controlled by few people,
Senators Frazier and Townsend
agree with their Kansas colleague
that retail prices of foodstuffs are too
high
"The price paid by the consumer is
out of all proportion to the price paid
to the producer" Senator Frazier de-
clared. "This is proved by the differ
ence in retail prices in different cities.
the same products selling for lower
prices in some places than in others.
Senator Townsend said that the
fact that the price of bread was
lowered in Washington following the
committee inquiry would indicate that
the spread is too wide.

VOORHEES,
Pay Plan Approved By Ma.
chinists' international

Washington.-Th International As
sociation of Machinists calls atten-
tion of Pennsylvania lodges to the
Hopes unemployment insurance bill,
pending in the house of representa-
tives of that state.
General Vice President Conlon, in a
letter to these members, says the bill
lis in line with the policy adopted by
the international Association of Ma
chinists at their Atlanta convention
held in September, 1925"
The bill provides that the state
shall administer unemployment insur-
ance by means of an unemployment
indemnity board. The state, under
the bill, will appropriate eighty mil
lion dollars ($80,000,OO0) to this fund
for the initial term beginning June /,
1881.
Employers shall contribute an equal
amount by uniform percentage of
their payrolls, to be fixed by the state
board Unemployed shall receive,
after the first week, SO per cent of
their weekly wages and 10 per cent
additional for wife, 5 per cent for
one child and 10 per cent for two or
more children under 18 years who are
dependent upon him. Indemnity shall
not exceed $25 a week, nor be less
than $12 week.
The unemployed are protected from
being called upon to do work where
strike exists or to perform work for
which he is not fitted or work located
at an unreasonable distance from his
home, or at wages lower than rates
prevailing for similar work in the
place of employment.

SPLINTERS
Big Cause of Workers In
jury-AlsO Deaths

New York City (ILNS) -"Splinters
kill'' is the motto of new pamphlet.
"Splinters, Cause of Injuries" just
issued by the Bureau of Industrial
Hygiene of the New York state de-
partment of labor
Not only to splinters kill, but seem
ingly harmless splinter accidents are
often costly in money and time. Dur
ing one year (the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1920 more than $4,000 was
paid out to workers in the state of
New York, as compensation for splin-
) ter accidents. These varied in sever
ity from accidents causing single
weeks lost time to those resulting
in death.
'The average person considers a
splinter injury as of very minor I'M
portance and in many cases it is the
pamphlet states, ''but there is no GER
tainty that it will not result IN the
loss of a hand or arm, and it may
even cause death. A splinter makes a
punctured wound, which the layman
cannot properly treat with antisep-
tics. The result is great tendency
to infection This is proven by the
fact that 13 per cent of compensated
injuries fro mall causes become in
fected, whereas 80 per cent of the
compensated injuries from splinters
are infected"
1t is strongly urged that prompt
frst-aid = preferably professional
medical aid-be provided, and that
amateur tampering with splinter
wounds be altogether discouraged.
