The Hartford Times noticed that at the democratic convention last week there was no talk of complimentary vote for Gov ernor Cross for president nor discussion of his availability for the vice presidential nom- nation. Some few weeks ago he was pro- posed as the logical choice for second place on the ticket provided first place went to western candidate and not to either Roose. welt or Smith or the southerners Ritchle and Byrd, We hope that the delegates to the national convention from this city will make some plans before their departure for Chicago to honor Governor Cross with the customary complimentary vote on the first ballot. The delegation is pledged to Alfred E, Smith but that would not prevent it's voting for Cross at least once or twice Says the Times There was also talk among the old guard leaders of giving Governor Cross complimentary vote for president. But at the state convention there was no mention of Governor Gross either as president or vice president All the old guard did was to assure instruction of the sixteen delegates vote for Alfred E. Smith. The convention made no provision either for a compliment tary vote for president or movement to put tbc governor into the running as potential viee-presdent.'

One of those old eoneidenees that are forever cropping up comes to light in review ing tn. first political convention ever held in this country. It was held at Baltimore just one hundred years ago this month, May 2l
 being the exact date The chairman of the gathering was General Robert Lucas of Ohio. no doubt an honorable ancestor of Robert H. Lucas of Kentucky. executive director of the republican national committee. If there is d relationship between the two we pre- sumc the illustrious chairman of that notable convention of 1892 will turn over in his grave when the descendant who has strayed from the fold opens the republican eonyen- ton in Chicago next month.

Japan's Peril

Japan is dominated today by mlitarsts and hundred-percentsrs bent on conquest
 This fact has been shown by the whole train of events beginning with the military inva. sion of Manehuria last fall. The ruthless ness of the group in control was shown by the attack on Shanghai with it's cruelty. devastation and disregard of world opinion. aod lately by the assassination of the prime minister. It is now proved, as American newspapers were saying last winter. that the war crowd has run smuek Indignant

A Year Of The Six.Hour Day

In December. 1850. the nation was in tcrested in the announcement of the Kellogg Company in Battle Creek Mich, that it was beginning an experiment. with the sixhour day 1t replaced three ei9ht-hour shifts with four hour shifts in an effort to solve it's own unemployment problem. It increased the hourly pay of workers, offsetting some what the decrease in daily earnings. The current issue of Factory and Industrial Man agement tells how the experiment worked during the first year, The new plan in- volved an increased number of employees and q slightly accelerated work pace.
 Nevertheless. the total number of work CTS requiring sickness compensation dropped from 569 in lo30 to 492 in l93l. The number of lost-time accidents fell from 20 to 20, There was 10 per cent increase in production. There were fewer break downs, delays and less slowed production because of the elimination of undcr-manned lines dur ing the lunch period. Between 250 and 400 workers who would otherwise have been un employed all or part of that time have been kept steadily on the job through the six hour day program.
 ne nedltn ana dSS'aeht iiSuIeS 'noe"'e that fatigue and strain were greatly reduced. Furthermore, survey brought out the fact that the additional leisure is being put to good use. whether economic or merely as an increase in freedom and happiness. The Battle Greek experiment while il cannot be conclusive for all industries, is at least trc- mendously intercsSng as one effort, appar- entity successful to some degree, to solve pressing industrial problem.

Washington D. C,---Certain things about Senator Huey Long, the bur- iy Louisiana "kinghsh," nre bound to remind you of Tom HeAin, the boisterOus e.-senator from Ala bama.

 He seems to have q rather cleni' idea what he is trying to do. He flnIls away ut specific, existing tor- gets, adopting causes that have plenty of support rather than con centrating ridiculous'y on such subjects as the pope.

SCHAAF VICTOR
OVER BASQUE

NEW YORK, July 26.-Ernie
Schaaf, Boston's hope to succeed
Jack Sharkey as worlds heavy
weight champion, today had
climbed a notch higher. He de-
feated Pauline Uzcudun, durable
Basque, in the feature bout of Is
rounds at the Madison Square
Garden Bowl in Long Island City
last night before 5000 fans.
Whereas Pauline showed signs
of weakening in the closing
rounds, Schaaf appeared strong
and fresh, and for this reason was
able to meet his foe more than
half way after the tenth session.
The bout was savagely contested
all the way, and, while there were
no knockdowns, there was plenty
Of hard punching, which satisfied
the spectators.
Donald (Red Barry, 1881,
washington, D. c.. made an i'm
pressive metropolitan debut by
hanmering his way t a victory
over Frankie Simns, 20712, Cleve-
land, in the opening bout of six
rounds. Both boxers were aggres-
sive, and there was considerable
action throughout the bout. Barry
put on snappy finish to gain the
edge.
