More than 100000 persons in Stock
holm. Sweden's capital, have erected
small houses in and around the city
in the last 10 years with the financial
ana OF the government. These de-
Velopments are known as garden cities
and are so attractive that middle-class
residents are planning similar develop
ments. This group. however. will not
receive financial assistance from the
government.
According to Associated Press dis
patches from Stockholm on this inter-
est1ng housing development for the
loW-income class. it was said that a.
vast improvement in the social and
economic status of the Ieople has been
the result.
The government will finance I'D to
80 per cent the cost of constructing
small house. For a modern cottage

mer afternoon kind. The other Is
called a Zine squail" and extends
across the front of moving mass OF
air. often for 100 or 200 miles, says
the Boston Herald. 1t is the movement
of these air masses across the country
which brings us our change of tempera-
ture and weather. Some come from
Canada, some from the Gulf of Mexi-
co, some from the Pacific. They differ
greatly. Some are cold, some are
warm, some contain little moisture,
others great deal. At the boun-
daries or fronts" of these air masses,
where each mass mikes with dissimi-
lar mass, occur regions of rapidly
varying temperatures, changing winds
and bad weather, sometimes taking the
form of thunderstorms.
Both types of thunderstorm are In
variably characterized by rising air
currents of great velocities, particu-
larly at higher attitudes. Down cur
rents are of much lower velocities and
geem to exist principally at lower lev.
els in regions of great turbulence.

CLOAK CODE
To Make Work For Thou
sands of JObless

New York City (ILNS)-Thirty-
one thousand workers, $4,000 of them
in New York city, are affected by the
cloak and suit industry code, as fin
ally approved by the nationad recov-
cry administration in Washington.
Approval of the code removed the
danger of strike in the industry.
The approved code. worked out at
hearings and conferences on the basis
of separate proposals presented by
the employers and the International
Ladies Garment Workers Union, was
hailed by union leaders as "the most
progressive, most advanced and most
constructive instrument yet evolved
by any industry under the national
industrial recovery act"
To Make New Pact
Negotiations for rev agreements
to replace those that expired June l
have been resumed The industry's
code will form the basis for such
agreements, which in turn, will be-
come part of the code. In event of
failure to agree, all disputes will be
referred to a national arbitrator to
be named by the NRA from among
the members Of its Labor Advisory
Board.
David Dubinsky, president Of the
international Ladies' Garment Work
ers' Union, said that some 10000
workers now unemployed would re-
ceive jobs through application of the
code. He expected that the reduced
hours and increased wages provided
would add approximately $300,000,0 900
annually to the workers earnings.
Work Opportunities Increased
The code increases work opportun-
tiles by eliminating child labor and
extending the work season from Il
weeks in the year tc 80. The mini
mum age for workers is set at 18,
the highest yet set in any MIRA code.
All overtime, home and tenement
work is prohibited and the working
hours limited to 35 weekly A mini
mum wage of $14 weekly is set for
non-manufacturing employees and a
combined principle of week work and
piece work, with minimum guaran-
tees of earnings for piece workers, is
provided for cloak and suit workers.
Principles included in the code are ex-
pected to eliminate sweatshops and
stabilize the industry.

Truths P0ndered While
Riding at
Anchor
Then gently scan
your brother man
BY Mr.. MOdestus-

"Individualism is being re-valued
in these testing days for everything.
In-divid-ual-se to mean IN
divid-able."
That is something that cannot be
divided
Without affecting the usefulness, or
the permanence, of the parts.
You can take dozen Ford cars
Disassemble them and shuttle the
parts
Then, put them back together
again.
And it doesn't seem to matter
much.
But if you try that on human be-
ings-
1t would be Devils own job to
re-assemble them.
But that same thing is being con-
stantly done
With the legal person-known as a
corporation.
Yet, the corporation is hiding be-
hind the Bill of Rights.
1t is claiming all the privileges of
an individual.
But the darn thing is nothing but
mass of properties,
Tied round with the red tape of
lot of legal rights"
The Declaration of Independence
never issued from the problems of a
lot of corporations.
But the constitution-tha is differ
entl
At least, the supreme court has
made us think so.
AS between the individuals who
own coal mine corporation,
And the other individuals who do
the work in the coal mine
The owners seem, somehow, to have
had the edge on the workers.
Coal mining is seldom the work of

RAILROADS
Asked to Give Jobs to Addi-
tiOnal Men

Washington, d. C. (ILNS)- Taking
cognizance of railroad labor's charge
that the railroads are not cooperating
with President Roosevelt in the cam
paign to provide increased employ
ment and restore prosperity, Joseph
B. Eastman, federal co-ordinator OF
transportation, urged that the carriers
spend every available dollar in put
ting men back to work
In telegram to the presidents of
all large railroads, Eastman pointed
out that men could be given work on
'1ong overdue repairs" He said re-
ports had indicated that the railroads
had put about 10000 men back to
work in the last two months and had
extended the hours of part-time work
ers in many instances.
Must Pull Together
"This is good" his telegram said,
'but is it all that can be done"
"a countrywide drive on to in
crease employment, build up purchas-
ing power, increase production and
sustain it by consumption.
"If all pull together this drive will
succeed, but it may fail if some hang
back. The railroads will gain directly
and Immediately if it succeeds and
they have much deferred maintenance
work which sorely needs to be done.
Money spent for such work will be
we'll spent and consistent with econ
omy"
Labor Criticizes Roads
Labor's charge that the railroads
are not doing their part in the re-
employment drive was voiced by the
Railway Labor Executives Associa-
ton, meeting at Cleveland. The meet
ing estimated that 100000 rail work
ers are now without jobs. A state
ment issued by the association, fol-
lowing the meeting, said:
Member organizations reported
that the railroads are continuing to
throw employees out of work, thereby
increasing unemployment at an
alarming rate. The organizations view
this action as contrary to the pres
ident's emergency unemployment
program. 1t represents a complete
disregard of the rights of railroad
labor as defined in the emergency
railroad transportation act. :"
