He was IS years Old vice-president Of the
Englewood Qll) Law and Order League, director
of the Better Government Association, member
Of the board and deacon of the Pilgrim Con-
gregational Church-but he was drunk
And when, staggering around the sidewalk al
10th and Green SITS. In Chicago, two small boys.
Herman Alkema and Herman Knoll who being
young and innocent, were on their way TO ''wor-
ship at local joss house, saw him and tried to
help him get home, he drew a gun and shot
Herman Knoll through the stomach.
Thus Daniel L. Gilday, q Chicago ''reformer.7
has landed in the hoosegow, and is still explain
ing that he was presented with the gun BY
"Jamie," a prohibition dick. A tear gas gun in
his pocket was given him by another prohibition
dick. But he couldn't explain the half pint Of
whiskey found In his pocket. Neither could we,
as under all regular rules of upholders Of law
and order, is should have been In his belly and
not In the bottle.
From the investigation, it appears that Gilday
was professional stool-pigeon for the govern

able for the further mechanization
Of industry. In addition, however,
the continual efforts of the Soviet
Government TO improve the material
and cultural welfare of the workers,
while shortening the working day
and working week, have had a de-
cidedly favorable effect upon labor
productivity. The quantity Of en-
ergy consumed in industry per
worker has increased from l ,120 kilo-
wstt-hours in 1s26-27 to 2,4o0 in 1881.
The importance of capital outlay in
raising the productivity of labor is
evidenced by the results of mechan-
ization in almost all industries.

ton based on the advance of mod
ern technique, we need not fear that
the labor power thus set free cannot
be used elsewhere for productive Ia
Dor; on the contrary, the work Of new
construction that Is proceeding on
such an enormous scale is drawing
fresh armies of producers into the
process Of social labor. Moreover, we
can effect considerable reduction in
the working day, raise the workers
living standards, and utilize the sur
plus product obtained as the result
of naturalization for the purpose OF
expanding production and increasing
the consuming power of the masses
of the population.
Women in Industry.
In Soviet economy the position Of
women as regards wages is not in
ferior to that of men; moreover, a
series of regulations has established
measures for the protection Of women
workers and granted them special
privileged conditions. There has
been a great improvement in the
cultural level and living conditions of
women and in maternity and child
welfare. The progress made in this
field is unequalled, not only If COM
pared with conditions prevailing in
pre-war Russia but even if compared
with those prevailing today in the
leading European countries.
In the Soviet Union the introduce
ton of women workers into industry
does not serve to injure the condi-
| lions of the male workers. 1t Is
worth noting that, although the num-
Der of women workers in Soviet in
dustry has increased from $4,000 in
1929 to 1,276,000 in 1881, the per-
centage of women as compared with
the total number of workers remains
unaltered. The participation OF
women varies largely from industry
to industry, ranging from 63 per cent
in the cotton textile industry to 8per
cent in the mining and ore industries.
Although for the time being it is
necessary to employ women in Ger
tain branches of industry requiring
little skill, the Soviet Union does not
maintain the system of unequal pay
for men and women performing SIM
liar work In 1929-30 women workers
| in the building industry re-
ceived 939 per cent of the wages re-
ceived by men, In the textile indus
try women received from 852 per
cent TO 1923 per cent OF the wages
received by men, depending upon the
specific trade, with an average for
the entire textile industry OF from 81
to SO per cent. In the printing in
dustry the ratio o fwomens wages
to mems wages ranged from 81.1 per
cent to 94.5 per cent, in the rubber
industry it was about 86.6, and SO
ON. Since 1929-3O the situation has
improved still further.
Special provisions are made for the
care of working women during preg-
nancy and childbirth. They are al
lowed time off with full pay for a
period Of eight weeks before and
eight weeks after childbirth; women
office workers six weeks before and
six weeks after childbirth. The
woman who is to become a mother
loses nothing from her wages.
In the Soviet Union the employ
ment of children under sixteen in in
dustry and transportation is forbid
den, while all employed youths ovel
sixteen receive the same wages as
adults performing the same work
Young workers are trained free o.
charge and receive nay while learn.

may be compared to a convales- cent during his first attempts to get out of bed.
 This was revealed in week of inquiry into business centers whfse business leaders ranged iron, the restrained optimists" of Philadelphia to those of New York rubbing hands" in anticipation of bigger business to come.
 On October the patient won- dered why he was allowed to live. Prices reached the bottom most point of two dark years.
 Then the doctors told him he was getting better if he only knew it. The $500, 100000 bank credit pool proved another stimu- lant. The home financing bank plan will be. And with a few pats of encouragement the patient felt like a new man and leaped out
 "rhis, is going to be nothing at all for me-" he thought as he took his first confident steps.
 Wheat and cotton began to shoot upward. Wall Street prices made striking gains.
 Then the knees began to shake a little. Mustn't try to go too fast. Takes little time to build up the flabby muscles. Have to take it gradually. You've been a sick man and you'll have to go easy for a while.
 That's where we are now.
 New England has been steadied by the textile industry which went through much of its readjustment before the depression. It there fore could meet the changed con- ditions more satisfactorily than many other industries.
 Consumer demand both in tex tiles and shoes has been the brightest factor in this area though some recent curtailment due to accommodating stocks has taken place. The end of the textile strike at Lawrence has helped. though there have been pay cuts again at Lowell. Some Fall River mills are closing down Temporarily.
 Nevertheless general sentiment is improving.

TWO MEN KILLED AS AUTO STALLS
 ON RAILROAD
Three Women Injured Happened in Canada and One of Dead Bee longed in Lawrence, Mass.

Quebec, Nov 1e.-(UP)-Two men were killed and three women were injured Sunday when their auto stalled on a level crossing @ couple of miles east of Stappolin- aire and was hit by the Maritime express. The dead are: Mastai Croteau, of Dosquet, Que, who was driving the car, and his brother Adelard of Lawrence, Mass. The injured are: Miss Laura Guerin, Miss Marie Louise Croteau, and Mrs Weneclas Croteau all of Law renee, Mass.
 The four New Englanders had come to Canada to attend funeral services for Aubert Croteau at Dos quet, and were being motored part of the way home. They stepped at a house near the level crossing to visit friends and it was presumed that the motor had not thoroughly warmed up when the level cross- ing was reached and the engine stalled. There were no lights on the automobile or on the train, 1t was reported. The two men were killed instantly, while the three women were badly hurt. The auto was dragged some two-hundred feet before the train could stop.

LEGAL BATTLE OF WOMAN TOOBTAR
 SHARE OF ESTATE
Mrs Lillian l. Glenn, Fora mer Private Secretary to Late John Carter Brown Woods, Wants $4O,OOO

Providence, R. l., Nov. 16-tUP) Mrs. Lillian l. Glenn, 32, attrac- tive brunette, to-day opened her legal battle for a share of the $sOO,000 estate of the late John Carten Brown Woods elderly bachelor for whom she worked as private secretary 13 years.
 The hearing of Mrs. Glenn's $50,O0O suit against the Rhode Island Hospital Trust company as administrator of the Woods estate was begun before Judge A. A. Capotosto and a jury. in superior court.
 Mrs. Glenn went to work for Woods in 1917. In 1926 she told Woods she planned to wed. Ac- cording to her claim, Woods begged her to remain in his employ and promised her $40,000 under his will if she would do so. A will containing this provision was drawn up by Woods, according to the plaintiff. Later, however, this will was destroyed by Woods after a member of his family had married against his wishes. Mrs. Glenn con tends, however, that the $40,000 agreement was then incorporated not in a new will but nevertheless in writing. ~ '- -'

, CTS from 6 states together to dis cuss improvement plans.
 In Philadelphia business men are restraining their optimism while feeling that first signs of improve ment are appearing. Metal indus tries are employing 12 per cent more men than in July. B. G. Budd Manufacturing company, op- erating a large body plant, reports overtime in some departments | Tool and textile machine shopi are doing more business. though seasonal drop in the radio indus try has thrown numbers of meta workers out of jobs.
 The state employment office re- ports call for skilled workers ex. ceeding anything in the last 1s mated 250,000 idle in Philadelphia The unemployment relief commit tee predicts it may reach 3OO,O0O during the winter. .......
 Retail buying is seasonally a It, the better but department store ex- ecutives look out on many aisles still almost deserted. Several new office buildings have been com pleted but tenants are hard to find. In spite of some improve ment, Philadelphia business men are not over-cheerful. But they , never are.
 It is different in New York Executives are beginning to rub their hands briskly. They are as mercurial as the stock market and while the last week saw a decline they are not yet ready to take Il seriously. ..
 Many, as in the case of Reming- ton-Rand company, are receiving favorable reports of increased de- mand from their branches out in the country. Christmas trade and millions in Christmas savings are counted on to run up retail buy ing.
 Above all, the dollar appears to have come through the recent at- tack from abroad stronger than ever. Gold reserves are rising and hoarding appears checked {. This may mean little out in the country but 1t Is vital in the New York nerve center.
 | Around Albany scattered inn provement is noted. The Ameri- can Locomotive Works has an or der for 10 locomotives from the Lehigh Valley railroad which will keep 1,50O to 1900 men at work for three months. ! We don't expect a large rush oi orders but we do anticipate enough orders probably to keep the men busy all year." said Robert P. Al lison, manager.

FUR. BREEDERS TO ELECT OFFICERS
ONLY PENGUIN IN
 NEW YORK DIED
 OF BROKEN HEART
Paddlewing Lost All His Companions and Mirror for a Time Fooled Him, But He Solved Decep- ton

New York, Nov 16-UP)-Pad- dlewing, New York's only penguin, Is dead, apparently heartbrokeh because hiis chief illusion was shat tered.
 .Paddlewing was the last survivor of four penguins brought back by Vincent Astor from an expedition in 1880. When his companions died, he, too, began to pine.
 Aquarium officials furnished him with a large mirror, and he irnn1e- diately began to improve. He used to spend hours in conversation with his imagine, which he thought to be a companion.
 One day Paddlewing fathomed the deception. His health failed rapidly. Yesterday he rolled over and died.
