Belt Conveyor Need
 Keenly Felt Here
Postal Employees fiampered Handling Bulky Sacks
 Without Systenl-Leaves Workers Open to Injury

Failure of the Joseph Barrett company of Detroit and posatl offi- cials to agree on certain specifica- tions still leaves the local post off, fee without a belt conveyor sys-. tenn for mail sacks. Postmaster James T. Kelley has been urging that the system be installed as soon as possible, as its absence not only causes delay in handling bulky sacks, but has made it necessary for employees to exercise extreme care to escape from accident.
 A number of openings were left in the floor of the large mail room for the conveyor system and 1t has been necessary to place temporary flooring over these in order to re- move the dangerous condition.
 The contract was awarded the Barrett company by the post off, flee department some months ago. When the office was still without a conveyor system this fall, Postmas- ter Kelley got in touch with Wash ington officials in an effort to have the work done. Its absence will be particularly noted during the weeks of the Christmas rush, as it entails considerable extra work.
 No indication has been given of any solution of the difficulty be- tween the company and postal off, cials.

REV D.P. GAINES
 YFORUM SPEAKER
First Baptist Pastor Be. Iieves U. s. Recognition
 of Russia Beneficial

"Eveybody's working-Every- body's hungry in Russia" was the response of Rev David P. Gaines, pastor of the First Baptist church, in reply to a question as to employ ment conditions in Russia at the YMCA forum on Sunday. This con- dition, he said, was due to the lack of oversight by the government in having plenty of seed for planting. The 1883 harvest would help con- ditions immensely.
 The program of transforming an agricultural country into an indus- trial one in a short time was al- most an impossible one, stated Rev Mir Gaines. Russia is making progress industrially and will some day achieve her ends but she pre- fers to do so by the costly route of developing her own workers who have no knowledge of machinery or background of industrial ex. perience.
 Russia's method of getting rid of the church is by means of ridicule and not persecution--to bear 0 generation of non-believers in God through a propaganda of contempt for all things pertaining to religion is the aim of the Soviet republic. The speaker felt, although there were large numbers attending church, yet the policy was meet ing with success. Church represen- tatives and missionaries from other countries are not allowed in Rus sia for the purpose of planting their religious faiths.
 Recognition of Russia by the United States will prove beneficial to both countries, stated Rev MT Gaines in answer to a question bearing on this. He felt Russia would benefit more immediately, but in four or five years, the bene- fit would be very noticeable to Uncle Sam in an economic way.
 The forum was held in the YMCA lobby at 3:30 with Herbert Smith, general secretary, presiding.

Swedish Railroad and Bus
 Networks Show Increase

Stockholm - (UP) - In pro- portion to its population Sweden now has the most extensive omni- bus and railway network in Eu- rope, according to a report recently published.
 The country has over 5000 bus lines with a combined length of 60,237 miles.
 Last year $50 new lines were opened with a total length of 4,96s miles. The railway network with its 10.370 miles is in itself the longest in Europe, if compared to the number of inhabitants.
 The bus lines, most of which inter-communicate with the rail- ways, have proved to be a. boon to the inhabitants of many isolated districts.

NO SKATING AT THE
 PARKS THIS WEEK
Change in Temperature Upset Hopes of Officials
 and the Public

Any hopes of skating at the local parks this week were dissi- pated this morning, when the snowfall and the rise in the tenn perature combined to soften the inch or two of ice that coated the ponds at Hamilton and Fulton parks.
 Park department officials state there must be an, ice thickness of six or seven inches to accommo- date the crowds who make use of local skating facilities. According to Irving W. Harrison, superinten- dent of parks, there must be a cold spell of four or five days to get the ice sufficiently thick for public skating.
 The cold weather of the week end raised hopes that there might be skating in few days, but to- days warmer weather and the snow removed such a possibility.

COTTON men URGE
/ DECENT WAGES
Association of Manufacturers
Also FaVorS Reduction of
Working Hours.
BY the Associated Press.


The National Association of Cotton
Manufacturers has gone on record in
favor Of the establishment of mini
mum decent" wage and reduction OF
working hours "to 40 per week, with
two shifts. If necessary"
Members of the National Association
held a meeting here last night with
representatives of the American Cot
ton Manufacturers Association and the
Cotton Textile. Institute.
The meeting was called. the state
ment said, for a preliminary discussion
OF code under which the industry
would operate following the passage OF
the industrial control-public works bill
now pending before the House.
Spreading employment" the Ma
tional Association said, can be accom-
pEshed in the cotton textile industry
only by limiting the hours which indi-
eidual operatives can work. A large
portion of the industry is apparently
committed to the principle of not more
than two shifts of 40 hours each. This
would mean that no operative could
work more than 40 hours in one week
and that no manufacturer could op-
crate his machinery more than 80
hours
Taking the industry as whole, 1t
Is probable that this schedule will be
acceptable as a maximum during the
emergency, although in certain specific
instances it might work injustices.
I'VE believe that there should be reg
ulations of the working hours Of women
and minors. We believe that for many
social reasons women and minors
should not be permitted to work be-
tween the hours Of 10 pm. and 6 am"

tation in Eastern Shore
Staying Case.

BY the Associated Press.
Counsel for Fuel Lee. alias Orphan
Jones. colored, convicted of numbering
Green K. Davis. an Eastern Shore
farmer in Maryland, are endeavoring to
prepare for presentation to the Su-
preme Court papers seeking to prevent
his execution June 2.
Lee was twice convicted of the mur-
der. the Maryland Appellate Court
setting aside the first conviction be-
cause colored persons were not on the
panel from which the trial jury was
drawn.
1t refused to set aside the second con-
viction by a white jury. holding the
fact that names of colored persons were
on the panel complied with Constitu-
tional requirements.
Lee was charged with having mur-
dered Davis, his wife and two daugh-
ters in Worcester County, Md, on Oc-
tober II, 1881, but was tried only on
the charge of numbering Davis.
1t is expected if the papers are filed
with the Supreme Court this week, the
court on Monday will announce what
action 1t will take in the matter.
