sTeeth" for Wage Bill
Hearings on bills designed to
broaden the prevailing rate Of wages
bill to include penalty for violation
of the acts provisions have been oc-
cupying the attention of the house
labor committee. Five bills to amend
the act have been introduced. Labor
has not thrown it's support to any
particular bill, being interested only
in seeing that teeth" are put in the
act.
President William Green, of the
American Federation of Labor. ap-
peared twice before the committee in
support of the addition of a penalty
clause to the present bill, known as
the Bacon-Davis act. Passed last
spring, the act requires contractors
on government work to pay the wage
prevailing for each class of labor in
the community where the job is un-
der way.
Would Broaden Act
In addition to advocating a pro-
vision for penalizing contractors who
violate the law, President Green told
the committee labor favors broaden
ing of the act to include all govern
ment work. 1t now applies only to
government building projects. The
Vancouver convention of the A. F. of
L. directed the executive council to
continue efforts to have the law ex-
tended to include road building and
similar projects and, if possible, all
work carried on in whole or part by
the United States government.
Following President Green's testi-
mony appearance before the commit
tee, representatives of the building
trades department, A. F. of L. and
other interested labor organizations
urged amendment of the law to in
clude penalty clause and to broaden
it's scope.

American Voters Would Repudiate Prohibition
if Given Opportunity, Says Labor's National
Committee, Calling for Renewed Efforts On

Washington, D. C. ULNS)-In a
letter to organized labor, Matthew
Woll, president, and John B. Colpoys,
| acting secretary of labor's national
committee for modification of the
Volstead act, say the recent vote in
Finland for repeal of the Finnish
prohibition laws is an indication of

prohibition.
Calling for renewed efforts on be-
half of modification Of the Volstead
act, the letter declares that a survey
of the sentiment in congress warrants
the belief that if organized labor
gives proper support, labor's bills for
modification of the dry act can be
passed at this session.
The letter says:
"The recent actions of the people
of Finland in voting by almost three
to one to repeal the prohibition laws
of that country is an indication of
what the American people would do.

its title from the main character, por-

Urges Tax Course
For High Schools

course in taxation be offered in
North Dakota high schools is Of
fered by Arthur E. Thompson,
Washourn, Endorsed by both the

state superintendent of public in
struction at the June 20 primary

Taxation affects every one
with property" Thompson said.
However, many people Do not
clearly understand why and how
they are levied.
"A method for making the
subject known would be to have
it taught as a part-time subject
in high school. It would be help
full for time to be taken for a
complete analysis of tax receipt.
This would make known what the
subject is all about"
