Shorter Week
American Federation of Labor
Holding Sind Annual Conven-
Hon In Cincinnati

Warning, that a deep feeling of
revolt against a situation that denies
workers a chance to earn a living
existence in America today was IS
sued by the executive council of
the American Federation of Labor
as sober-faced delegates gathered
in Cincinnati to decide policies for
the coming year.
The unrest is worldwide, the
council said, and in other countries
is so severe as to threaten existing
institutions. The body made a
plea for constructive leadership in
the difficulties ahead and empha-
sized that responsibility will fall
upon organized labor for co-operat-
ing in finding a solution to unem-
ployment ills.
The Sind annual convention OF
the American Federation of Labor
opened recently, the council said,
with 100000 unemployed, a
breakdown in our business struc-
ture, millions of unemployed in
other countries and world trade at
low ebb."
The report recommended:
/. The necessity of increasing
buying power.
2. A five day, 40 hour week Or a
six-hour day with a Sc hour week
3. Emergency construction build
ing to absorb unemployment.
4. Adequate unemployment re-
lief aid.
s. Unemployment insurance.
s. Modification of the Volstead
act to permit legalization of us

| Do Not Like
The Depression

with my neighbors but somehow
we're not as happy and carefree as
we used to be. Our greetings are
just as cordial but there's that
something that comes with a de-
preston" that inwardly Graves Sc
clusion, and the cup of life isn't
quite so full or sweet as it used to
be. When we do get together our
conversation usually carries US into
the realm of racketeers, bootleg
gers, kidnapers, and the terrible
ness of suicide among the younger
set. Some are too young to under
stand, and the Others not sufficient
ly mature to withstand the pro-
blems that a depression brings
and then our gatherings convert
themselves into veritable night
mares. We don't like the depres-
sion.
My wife and l have never got
ten stuck up or high falutin'. We
use the old family bed, as l much
prefer that she plants her cold
feet in my anatomy and use my
spine for a chill tattoo, than to
waste the fuel to heat water or a
flat iron. Her snoring has always
been sweet music to my ears. We
learned in the good old days that
"for better or for worse had its
sinister meaning and we r hold
ing firm even against adversely.
But somehow our home isn't like
it used to be and l have to do
odd jobs myself to deprive the fell
low worker. 1t never was a natur-
al habit with us. We don't like
the depression.
1t gives me a pain in the region
of my Adams apple to hear people
rave about burdensome taxation.
It's becoming the leading pastime,
and it's irksome. People don't care
a tinker's darn about taxation.
They know it won't help their
condition to throw more and more
people out of jobs. What the tax
payer really wants is a good, fat
job for everybody so that wheat
will command at least a dollar,
pork II cents to IS cents on the
hoof and cream lowering around
SO cents. Beans at 5 cents a
pound would make that tax bill

Ordered Wife To Steal
From Guest, She Says

Salem.-When her husband,
Henry S. Kent of Peabody, lum-
bered into their home in this city
one night accompanied by two
men. who were decidedly under
the influence of liquor, and order
ed her to "roll" one of the guests
to obtain his money, Mrs. Irene
Kent of Boston strenuously object
ed, she told Judge Harry R. Dow
in the Essex County Probate Court
here in seeking a divorce.
Refused, She Says
II told him that although l was
his slave I was not going to be a
thief for him." declared the wife,
who charged that Kent was cruel
and abusive toward her. "My hus-
band remembered what l had said,
and the next morning he beat me-"
Mrs. Kent, who was married at
Peabody, May II, 1923, testified
that her husband made her remove
their three children from a bed
and allow the two strangers to lie
down because "they were tired and
needed sleep" She put the children
in her bed dutifully, but when
Kent informed her that one of his
cronies had a large sum of money
in his watch pocket and COM
manded her to pilfer it, she re-
fused to obey him, the wife as
serted.
i "Drunk For Eight Days"
Testimony revealed that during
the IS months that the Kents re-
sided at l Bridge street, Salem, the
husband was drunk for a year.
Corroborating witnesses told Jud-
&c Dow that there was "a brawl
every night in the home" and that
Kent was constantly inebriated.
One witness declared hat he was
drunk for eight days the week be-
fore Easter"
Mrs. Kent, who accused her
husband of habitual ~intoxication
as we'll as neglect to provide, main
tanned that he entered their home
one night at II o'clock while they
were living at 7 Winter STREET.,
Peabody, and demanded a change
of underclothing because he wa
going out to attend a party. When
she refused to comply with his
wishes, she asserted, Kent threw
her to the floor and raised his foot
to kick her in the face. He then
locked her out of the house, she
testified.

@A-widesPread campaign to re-
move more than 100000 child
rem from employment by putting
them back into schools so that
"iobs may be given the ten to

ence; Senator Arthur Capper OF
Kansas, the Rev. S. Parks Cadman,

sOver 3,ooo,ooo children from
7 to II years Of age are out OF
school, and over 100000 boys
and girls of this age are galntully
employed, while from 100000
to 11,oOo,o0o adults are in desper-
ate need of work." the statement
said, continuing:
IF order is to replace chaos in
our economic life, it is Of the high
est importance that our children
of today should have the right pre-
paration to take their part tomor-
row in the life, labor and politics
of their time. More, rather than
less, schooling is requisite not only
as an immediate relief for the over,
crowded labor market but as ar
aid in preparing young people tt
qualify for types Of work that are
more than footless routine wher
times are better.

everywhere to join in pressing to-
ward the removal from industry

No matter how long you have played
Auction or Contract, something novel
and interesting always is coming up.
There are no other card games that
have their infinite possibilities and that
is probably why they have retained the
interest of the public over such a long
period of time. Every hand is different
and the bidding and play of each one is
a separate and distinct problem. All
that any writer or teacher can do is to
point out the way and it is up to the
player to adapt what he has learned to
each particular hand. This, of course,
is not easy, but, if a player is really
serious and sincere in his desire to
improve, there is no better way than
by an analysis of various hands that
bring out points of play and bidding

Other Stories Of Alleged Abuse
Returning to their home after
attending a movie show in March,
1929, the wife declared, she dis
covered bottles strewn all about
the place. Kent and a strange wo-
man were there, she maintained,
both the worse for liquor. The
children were crying, Mrs. Kent
said. Black and blue marks on
her body were what she received
when she objected to Kent's tax
ing the last so cents out of the
house in January, 1925, it was
testified, and on another occasion
it was testified the husband pulled
Mrs. Kent and the children out of
their beds, slapping all of them as
he did. The wife, who said that
she resides at 297 East treet, Elm
wood, told the court that dishes
and furniture were broken by
Kent in the early morning hours
at times when he would come into
the house intoxicated. Once he
picked up a crib, in which their
infant child was sleeping near a
stove because it was ill with pneu-
monia, and let the child's bed drop
to the floor forcibly, according to
Mrs. Kent.
Kent did not contest the case,
and the court reserved decision.

cause all too frequently I have been
a witness to that adversely that has
overtaken and overpowered the

as 1 did in the prosperous years.
Money came easy then and the bill
collector never was permitted the
opportunity to become acquainted
with me. l paid by check and took
my discounts. Now, l work dill
gently as the devil, and if the bill
collector gets acquainted he's 60
ing to have to catch me. My
work is harder and takes more of
my time, because my brain is be-
fuddled and won't get down to
one thing at a time. Trying to keep
the wolf from peeking through
the back door keyhole and the
sheriff out of the front yard is

porous and optimistici. Today they

ever were but they are in the
strong grasp of privation. They
are not mentally or physically fit
to fathom such a condition.

dozen would put mirthful creases
on the taxpayers visage that you
couldn't wipe off with sandpaper.
For years l have gone to church.
The minister's sermons are good,
but somehow it isn't like it was
in the pre-depression days. Depres-
sion hits right at folks vitals and
they seem to lose the faith and
complain that the Lord has for
gotten them. The truth no doubt
is the reverse-they have fallen
victims of the depression and can't
think of anything else when they
concentrate enough to think at
all. My Bible doesn't teach me
that God is arrogant, vicious and
vengeful. God is love, but many
will insist hat the depression is a
rebuke. 1t isn't a healthful situa-
ton when folks lose their Chris
tianity through misunderstanding
The church doesn't like the de-
preston.
l am an optimist, | love to see
people smile. I think there is
nothing nicer than a comfortable,
Christian home. If l wasn't an
optimist I couldn't make myself
believe that the depression would
soon pass and be forgotten, but l
know it will as it is simply the re-
suit of mans error. Want, misery
suffering and sorrow are not the
works of God, but of greed, avar-
ice and depression" And l know

Russia Is
Becoming
Less Red

New 1Ork.-COmmunISm is on
the wane in Russia under the
Soviet regime and may in time be
entirely displaced by a more stable
system, Professor Herbert o. Eft
man of Seth Low Junior College
said following his return from a
tour of Russia.
Worker Better off
"In spite of the inconsistencies
between theory and practice and
regardless of the Incompatible
poverty of the Russian people COM
pared to that of any other Euro
pean country, one can not help
feeling hat the factory worker,
at least, is definitely better off in
Russia oday than he ever was be-
FORE" he said. "That communism
should receive the entire credit
for this improvement is patiently
absurd. Industrialization under
other auspices could have gone a
long way towards lettering the
lot of the people in general"
System In Evolution
Professor Elftman observed that
the present governmental system
has such a strong psychological
hold on the people that there is no
prospect of its violent overthrow
from within, but added that a gra-
dual process of evolution is quite
evident.
Far reaching changes in econo-
mic policy and in educational ne
thods are made frequently" he ex-
planned. with such an unpreced-
entcd fertility of changes and var
iations, natural selection will
doubtless, in time, mold a more
stable system.
"Just what type of system that
will be we can only conjecture.
That it will be even further from
a true communism than is the pre-
sent system is apparent, that it
can shake off the chains of bureau
cracy seems doubtful; that, )lhe
thory will be superb goes without
question"
Russian Optimism Bonndless
The boundless optimism of the
Russian is the most impressive fea-
ture of the nation, Professor Eft
man said. They look upon their
troubles and privation as auguries
of better things to come, and live
with an 'all pervading" material
istic outlook, he added.
"He is satisfied that every phase
of his existence can be explained
and governed by the principles of
materialism," Professor Elftman
said. Even art cannot be consid-
cred except as a manifestation of
economic principles. One of the
worlds most precious collections
of modern art, that in Moscow,
has been rearranged to serve as an
illustrated textbook Of economic
history.
"A cardinal factor in the psy-
chology of Russia is the boundless
faith which the people have in
their present social and political
organization, still called by most
of them, communism. Coupled
with this faith is the conviction
that the rest of the world is slow
ly but surely trending towards a
similar organization, a goal to be
attained finally by revolutionary
upheaval:"
