Division Chief Urges

New York City (ILNS)-Organized
labor in every community in the ma

help to the War Against Depression
Campaign, in posters signed by Mat
thew Vol, chairman of the division
of labor. Pointing out that union la
Dor is part of the great campaign
to put 100000 persons back to work,
the poster declares the campaign
will succeed, and calls upon labor to
rally behind the movement as it
starts on February is. The message
adds:

| interest, may ultimately bring greater
security in employment and a more
adequate distribution of purchasing
power among the masses of the
American people"
According to Mrs. John M. Glenn,
president Of the association, few of
the responses to the statement re-
vealed apprehension that family well
fare agencies might be drawn into
propaganda for specific measures of
reform. A still larger number, how
ever, felt that the resolution was not
strong enough, and that specific rem
edial measures should be proposed.
Commenting upon these reactions,
Mrs. Glenn said: "We have inten-
tionally confined this statement to an
expression of social philosophy, first
because there would be no unanimity
of opinion within our own group as
to the specific economic and industrial
measures which may be necessary;
and, second, because the development
of such measures is primarily the re-
sponsibility of other groups.
"This statement merely recognizes
our obligation to keep the public con-
tinually informed of the disastrous
effects of unemployment upon family
life, with view toward stimulating
public interest in preventing in the
future an economic situation which,
for millions of people, is as great
disaster as the World War"

Indianapolis Convention Approves Report FavOring
Meeting With Operators to Work Out Program OF
National Stabization-Wag Scale Policy of 1928
To Be Continued

indianapolis, Ind (ILNS)-Besides
concurring in the recommendation of
the scale committee that the wage
scale policy of 1923 and 1880 be con-
tinued, the thirty-second convention
of the United Mine Workers of
America, just concluded after a ten
day session in Indianapolis, also
passed favorably upon resolutions ad-
vocating old age pensions either
through state or national legislation
and for federal unemployment insur-
ance legislation.
An amendment was made to the
constitution to include the advocacy
of the five-day week as part of the
policy of the organization. For sew
eral years the union has been on rec
ord as favoring the six-hour day,
which remains as part of the con-
stitution.
For Curb on Injunction
The convention reiterated its stand
in favor of legislation to limit the
power of the courts in labor disputes.
The report of the scale committee
was the most important matter that
came before the convention. The re-
port of the committee, in part, fol-
lows:
"a great number of resolutions are
directed specifically to changes in dis
trict joint wage agreements, and the
committee recommends that all such
resolutions be referred to the partic-
ular districts mentioned. The COM
mittee further recommends that the
wage scale policy of 1928 and 1880
be continued, which provides that the
districts be permitted to negotiate
the best wage agreement possible in
their respective districts
"Your committee has considered
such subject matters as the five-day
week and the six-hour day, mech
anized mining in it's various forms,

field or joint interstate wage agree

Time for Action Here, Campaign Leaders Say

Depression BY Putting Workers Back on Payrols
Outlined BY Heads of Four Big Organizations Spon-
sOring Drive.

New York City (ILNS)-Formally
announcing February Is as the date
of opening for the united campaign
to secure employment for some of the
millions now unemployed, the leaders
of the four powerful national organ
izations sponsoring the movement for
business recovery issued a statement
making public the plan of campaign,
the scope of the organization and its
method of operation.
At White House conference Com
mander Henry L. Stevens, Jr., of the
American Legion, and Carl Byoir,
director of organization of the United
Action group, assured the president
support in the campaign against
boarding. The president authorized
Commander Stevens to say that it
was his hope that every forward look
ing organization in the country would
join with the American Legion, the
American Federation of Labor, the
Association Of National Advertisers
and the American Legion Auxiliary
in war against depression.
The joint statement in behalf of the
four organizations leading the united
campaign for business recovery
through the employment of million
workers now unemployed was signed
by Commander Henry L. Stevens, Jr.,
of the American Legion; Matthew
Woll, vice president of the American
Federation Of Labor and chairman Of
the division of labor in this cam
paign; Lee Bristol, president of the
Association of National Advertisers
and Mrs. Louise Williams, president
of the American Legion Auxiliary.
Big Host in Campaign
From coast to coast and from
lakes to gulf our national campaign
/, to put million workers back on pay
rolls will begin February 15," the
joint statement said. "It is intensely
gratifying that this tremendous cam

plemented by a campaign directed
from the White House to bring
boarded money into circulation. The
battle line against depression is COM
plete.
with formal announcement of our
zero hour we believe it proper to make
public the extent of the organization
that has been brought together on q
purely voluntary basis during the
shot period Of six weeks of pre-cam-
paign preparation.

know the technique of getting results.
Cooperating Bodies
'In addition to these great organ
izations which have shouldered by
their own voluntary motion, the task
of sponsoring the campaign, with its
tremendous burden of work, a group
of cooperating organizations has
come together to support the work
and to assist in every manner in
achievement of the object. Among
these are:
"The Federal Council of Churches
of Christ in America, the National
Catholic Welfare Council, the Central
Conference of Jewish Rabbis, the
Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks, with 1,500 local lodges, the
national organizations of the Round
Table Clubs, the Quota Clubs and the
Twenty-Thirty Clubs, many local
lodges and clubs of Rotary, Kiwanis,
Lions, Exchange and other civic clubs
'In addition we have secured the
active cooperation of other powerful
organic groups of wide membership
and strong influence. This has been
secured through the divisions into
which our national organization has
been divided, each with it's chairman
selected by the group represented.
These divisions are:
Local Organization, Adver-
tising, Labor, Finance, News,
Radio, Artists, Films, Church
Work, Public Speakers, Indus

''The Division of Advertising is
headed by Lee Bristol, president of
the Association of National Adver

associate chairman. Under this di-
vision 800 leading magazines of the
country have joined the movement,
with A. C. Pearson as chairman for
the National Publishers.
Other Division Heads
'The advertising agency section is
headed by John Benson and Clarence
Newell president and chairman, re-
spectively, of the American Associa-
ton of Advertising Agencies.
"The foreign language press, head
ed by William Hewett as chairman,

the getting of jobs. 1t is, we believe,
the greatest organized civic force our
nation has known.

"In the field, where the actual
work must be done, we have disci-

more than 1000 cities Every one of

Save Your Eyes
: Glass Eyes

You can't begin to realize what a
wonderful mechanism the real eyes is
until you watch specialist make an
imitation of one. There are not very
many people in the world who can
make a glass eye; it is one of the few
trades left, like the old Medieval guild,
where an apprentice learned his art
for years under the eye of a master.
The glass he uses can be made in only
one place in the world. little town
called Lauscha, in Thuringen, Germ
any. Here the secret of manufacture
ing it has been handed down for sew
eral generations in one family. This
glass has the peculiar property of
turning opaque-the white of an eye
ball, in fact-when it is heated in a
comparatively cool fame. But when it
is heated in a very hot flame it be-
comes transparent again. Your artist
takes bit of this kind of glass and
fashions a little globe about the dia-
meter Of half-dollar in a jet of flame
that comes out of table before him.
After working with this globe, get
ting the proper size and color, he
blows in the back of the "eye-ball"
until nothing remains but a hollow
shell, for most of the artificial eyes
are now merely false fronts that the
specialist fits into the eye-socket.
Sizes of eyes vary much more than
the colors do, from the size of about
a peny to about half-dollar in width.
l am not telling you all this so that
you will want to get a glass eye for
yourself, remarkable as it is, but so
that you can appreciate the real eyes
that you already have.
