ing a place for them" Myers stated.
County officials recently decried
the removal Of such cases from the
hospital to the poor farm after 1t
was revealed that a 60-year- old
mother died there weeks after she
was taken to the infirmary in an
ambulance.
Hospital authorities declare the
city hospital already is so over
crowded with incurable patients
that some persons who might be
cured are barred from the hospital
because there are no beds.
Myers indicated he might recon-
mend temporary relief for incurable
tuberculosis patients by asking off,
Gals to move them to the county's
tuberculosis sanitarium at Sunny
side. This is not expected to meet
approval of Sunnyside officials,
however.
There's not much That can be
done to relieve the suffering of
most Of these patients, but they are
entitled to little attention in their
old age" Meyers said.

LABOR is READY
WITH IDEAS TO
BOOM BUSINESS
Three Resolutions for Dry
Repeal to Be Laid
Before Farley.
BY DAN BOWERMAN
United Press Stan Correspondent

VANCOUVER, B. c., Oct. IA
American labor was ready today to
present its prescription for restor-
ing an economically i'll nation to
the buoyant financial health it en-
joyed in 1929.
In as important a single day of
work as ever occurred in the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor's half
century of existence, definite stands
were outlined on such questions as
unemployment insurance, prohibi-
ton, wage cutting, large scale pub
lie works, and the international
questions and Mexican and Filipino
immigration.
Matthew VOL, short, thin,
dark-skinned engraver who rose in
the ranks of unionism to vice
presidency of the federation. headed
the powerful resolutions committee
which was prepared to present its
own and counter-recommendationS
on the controversial questions.
A possibility of spirited clashes
on the convention floor was seen,
particularly over prohibition and
unemployment insurance. Insur-
gency was not feared, however, and
the committee believed it would be
supported by the full membership
of the federation.
Three prohibition proposals will
be presented. One would nullify the
eighteenth amendment by repeating
the Volstead act. A second would
ask repeal of the amendment and
substitution of state control on the
Canadian system.
VOLS committee was expected to
ask passage of the third-for imme-
diate legalizing of beer-on the
ground that it is politically possible
and needed to establish a booming
industry in a time of industrial
calm.
There are three resolutions ask
ing for unemployment insurance,
with convention leaders opposed to
all three and demanding instead a
program Of job assurance by short
er working hours, standard wages,
public works and a beer industry.
