manent organization OF the North
Dakota Ship-By-Rail association was
perfected here Friday night with the
following objective as set down in the

eliminate the causes of unfair compe-
tition between various transportation
agencies. We propose by investiga-
ton and careful study to determine
the causes Of unfair competition and
through the legislature to enact such
laws as will permit the different
agencies of transportation to compete
on fair and equal basis.
"A further purpose is to inform the
members, shippers and taxpayers and
the general public of the true facts in
the case, confident that an UNDER
standing of the truth can result in

organizations to the extent necessary
to accomplish such purposes as out

CIGAR MAKERS
Act to Bar Aliens Coming
in With Cuban Plants

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-Pro-
test was filed this week with Secre-
tary of Labor Doak by Acting Presi-
dent R. E. Van Horn, of the Cigar
Makers International Union, against
removal Of Cuban cigar factories to
the United States on the ground that
the owners manifestly intend to i'm
port Cuban workers to man the new
plants.
Chairman L. S. Houston, of the
Henry Clay and Block & Co. plants,
announced in New York that these
and three other plants making high
priced clear Havana products would
be at once moved to Trenton, N. j.
The plants named are generally
recognized in Cuba and there as being

as "the trust"

Rockefeller Has Vast Do
main of Silence

New York City (ILNS)-No more
amazing story has been told about
the topsy-turvy American social
structure that streaked through be-
tween the lines of the Rockefeller
birthday, just celebrated at the Tar
rytown baronical estate. The veteran
oil magnate was SO and hopes to
reach the century mark.
Rockefeller has become convinced
that he must conserve energy and
have no distractions. The birthday
was quiet
The estate contains about 5000
acres. Behind barbed wire fences
workmen constantly clear away OBJ
structions, moving the fences stead
ly back, giving the old baron more
undisturbed serenity. Weekly the
fences are set farther away.
On sites outside the barbed wire
houses are being built so that at sun
down all the gardeners, chauffeurs,
carpenters and most of the house ser
wants may withdraw outside the 5000
acres.
Remaining inside then will be only
the family and about 100 armed Ne
gro guards, each shod with rubber
soles almost an inch thick, to insure
quiet.

On Workers Inflicted By
Payless Vacation Plan

New York City (ILNS)-More pay
less vacations than ever will be taken
by industrial and clerical workers this
summer and vacation periods will be
longer.
A survey of the plans of 275 New
York employers has just been finished
by the Merchants Association and
the report contains two striking para
graphs, probably indicative of the
situation nationally. They are:
Vacations of three or four weeks
and even longer will be the rule this
summer for more employees than ever
before.
Unfortunately for the employees,
the longer vacations will frequently
be taken at reduced pay or without
any pay at all"
More than 25 per cent of the COM
panies have changed their vacation
policies since 1929, most of them
doing it to cut payroll expenses.
Of the 273 companies reporting,
265 will give vacations to salaried
employees, eight will give none. Of
115 employing hourly employees only
65 will give scheduled vacations.
Salaried employees will draw full
pay from 215 companies, four will
pay two-thirds salary, % will give
half-pay, one will pay one-third, l5
will give no pay. Hourly employees on

upheaval with the gravest results.
Our entire business and industrial
system is on trial, and it's willingness
or unwillingness to supply employ
ment to those now out of work and
suffering will decide the issue. How
ever, my faith in the foresight and
courage of American business and
American labor remains completely
unshaken.
"The figures secured from author

''This indicates that if SO per cent
of all employers of labor will adopt

These, added to the one million five
hundred thousand people who will re-
ceive employment through the con-
struction of self-liquidating projects,
would mean a total of seven million

Labor Nearly Defeats Tory
For British Parliament

Montrose Scotland.-Tom Kenne-
dy, labor candidate for the house of
commons in a by-election here, nearly
defeated the coalition candidate of the
conservative and liberal parties. The
tory candidate slipped in by major
lty of 663 votes compared with ma
jority of 12,O75 votes for the tory
candidate at the last general election.
The heavy labor vote was inter
preted to indicate the dissatisfaction
OF Scottish labor with the present
national government headed by Ram
sey Macdonald, former labor party
premier, who left the labor party last
year and was instrumental in secur-
ing its defeat by accepting the leader
ship OF the anti-labor coalition of the

Atlantic City, N. j. (ILNS)-In
session all of the week ending July
16 and due to run well into next
week, the executive council of the
American Federation of Labor had
before it the two major political
platforms and figures on unemploy-
ment showing constant gain in idle
ness since the last figures of 10,634,-
600 were issued. The present total is
shown to be close to 100000.
Unemployment Steadily Gains
Figures furnished for the meeting
by President Green show that with
steel, carloadings and power output
at new low points, employment not
only has failed to rise, but has fallen
to new levels.
In the face of this situation the fed
Grafton has formulated the sugges-
tion that there be formed:
An advisory council of various
groups, including labor, through
Wnlcn Cne pTeSlueHI CdIi HdNC lOS SuiAA
and dependable information so that
developing problems can be met
quickly"
There is no concealment of the
gravity with which the council views
the industrial situation.
1t is pointed out that while some
living costs have gone down, labor
earns only so cents where formerly 1t
earned a dollar.
Income Falls 81 Per Cent
Thus while 81 cents will buy what
a dollar formerly bought, labor in
