Suspend Rules
On First Day
Later Bill Providing For State
Conventions Also Proposed
BY Rep. Garner
Would Designate Number of
Delegates To Each Session;
OPPOSITION Expected

Speaker Garner has prepared a
resolution for repeating the Eigh-
tenth Amendment to be submit
ted to the House under the sus-
pension of the rules on December
5, the first day of the session.
The text of the proposed consti-
tutional amendment provides for
outright repeal in accordance with
the Democratic platform pledges.
It further provides for ratifca-
tionsof the amendment bK spec;n1,r
elected State coa.-sntions and lin
It's the period Of possible ratifca-
ton to seven years.
81 believe this resolution to be in
line with the mandate of the vot-
ers," said Speaker Garner.
1.-THE proposed ratification of the
repeal by conventions in the several
States is in accordance with the
platform plank of both parties.
Congress will later, if the re-
peal resolution passes, pass a bill
providing for the calling of con-
ventions in the forty-eight States.
This bill will name the number of
delegates in each State and also will
name the city where the conven-
ton is to be held in each State. 1
suppose the national Government
also will be obliged to provide
to cover the cost of holding
these conventions.
II have handed the draft of my
resolution to Chairman Summers,
of the Judiciary Committee, who
has called a meeting for Friday to
consider it.
eft is in the province of the
Judiciary Committee to make such
amendments as it deems wise to my
proposed resolution, which is after
all intended as merely a working
basis.
IF the Judiciary Committee
shall report the repeal resolution
.favorably, it will be presented to
the House on the first day of the
under suspension of the
rules. Only on the first and third
Monday of each month can the
House permit its rules to be sus-
pended. Consequently if the res
olution is not acted on, it would
necessarily go over until December
49,"
The present plan, if the repeal
resolution is passed on December
5, is to bring in a bill amending
the Volstead act on December 10,
the second day on which suspen-
sion of the rules is permitted.

Pay Reduction
Is Opposed
President Green Outlines Cbange
In Addressing Convention
In Cincinnati
Use OF Force Is Recommended If
Necessary To Restore En-
bloyment In This Country

Exhorted by William Green,
their president, to Secure it by
force of some kind" if necessary,
delegates to the convention of the
American Federation of Labor in
Cincinnati unanimously called for
universal adoption of the six-hour
day and fve-day week.
The convention approved a COM
mittee report calling for universal
adoption of the short week as 1.-THE
only means whereby prosperity can
be restored" 1t agreed hat such
reduction in labor hours should
carry with it no reduction in
pay"
The convention ordered the fed
eration's executive council to ap-
pear before congress and before
industry generally" to present
the conventions views and "de-
mand" action.
While the action on a short
week is not binding on member
unions, an A. F. Of L. office en-
ploye said that none Of the men,
bers yet had voiced opposition to
the shorter work-week and work
day program federation leaders
have advocated in a general way
for months.
The relationship between the
crafts unions represented by con-
vention delegates and the fedora
ton is voluntary, it was explained
further, though the annual con-
ventions are considered as express
ing the voice of Labor.
This relationship is maintained
it was pointed out, to allow mem
Der unions to handle their own sit
uations without restraint from the
federation. Thus, though all US
ually favor in a large measure goal'
set by the convention, no member
union can be prevented from de-
waiting from the declared fedora
ton program if it so desires.

Schools Plan Series
OF Window Displays

All schools of the city are cooperat-
ing in a plan for extending the OBJ
servance of National Educational Week
throughout the school year instead of
limiting the celebration to this one
week. The plan calls for series of
exhibits in downtown store windows
for the next several months and will
serve the two-fold purpose of keeping
the public informed as to the work
being carried on in the various schools
and providing an incentive for the
children.
First of these displays furnished by
the opportunity room at the Richholt
school and the seventh grade at the
Will Junior high school, now are in
the windows at the Harris and Wood
mansee and Hoskins- Meyer stores.
The Richholt school exhibit includes
samples of handicraft, such as has
kerry and weaving, simple pieces of
handmade furniture and toys as well
as silhouettes and posters.
A replica of an ancient EngliSl,
castle reminiscent of the days of King
Arthur, and the church figuring in
the Round Table tales which the sew
enth grade at the Will school is study
ing, are reproduced in the Will school
display. Some fanciful and original
examples Of soap carving and other
bits of handiwork are included in the
exhibit, which has as background q
large map of South America ofna-
mented with samples of the products
placed in the locations from which
they are obtained. The map is the
work of pupils at the William Moore
school.
Other displays will appear from
time to time in downtown windows,
according to r. L. Wells, chairman of
the school exhibit committee.
Education week has been observed
In each of the city schools during the
