GENEVA LABOR
Meeting Fails to Act OH 40
Hour Week Plan

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-Chief
topics of the International Labor Con-
ference at Geneva, from which Miss
Mary Anderson, head of the u. S.
delegation, has just returned, were
the 40-hour week, unemployment in
surance, employment exchanges, and
invalidity and old age insurance. AS
the United States is not a member
of the International Labor Office, the
American delegation attended the con-
ference in capacity of observers"
A code to establish 40-hour week
which was proposed at the conference
by workers delegates, was abandoned
until next year because of the failure
of government and employers Off
cials to support such a code. A wage
inquiry which was conducted in con-
nection with the 40-hour week ques-
tion was sent to the So counties affil-
lated with the labor office.
Labor officials in the countries
where there are no trade union organ
izations said that the establishment
of 40-huor week, where there was
no labor legislation to take care Of
the situation, would result in a big
drop in the wage level of their coun-
tries.
Improvement of laws regarding un-
employment insurance, employment
exchanges, and old age insurance was
discussed by delegates but no new
steps were taken for new legislation.
Delegates to the conference includ-
ed representatives of labor, employ
ers and the governments of each coun-
try.
The American delegation, chosen by
the president, the state department,
and the secretary of labor, included
Mary Anderson, chairman; director
of the Womans Bureau, department
of labor; William Stead, of Mime
sofa, unemployment exchange expert;
and Hugh Frayne, New York repre-
sentative of the American Federation
Of Labor, who represented organized
labor.

Building Operations Gain

Washinfton, D. C. (ILNS)-Indi-
Gated expenditure for total building
construction in May was 1886 per
cent greater than in April, 1888, ac-
cording to reports received by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics of the
United States Department of Labor
from 761 identical cities having a
population of 10000 or over. The
1888 increase of May over April was
over five times greater than the in
crease shown in comparing these two
months in 1892. Comparing May,
1888, with April 1888, there was an
increase of 1928 per cent in the num-
Der and an increase of 1876 per cent
in the estimated cost of new residen-
tial buildings. This is the first time
in four years that indicated expendi-
lures for residential buildings was
greater in May than in April.

He is the underslung model OF dog

affectionate disposition with the cour-
age, inquisitiveness and tenacity or

high favor with those whose search
has led them to look for q dog suit

companionship.

1t was from this country that our
breeding stock was obtained. Three
distinct types are recognized: The
short-halred, the wire-haired and the
long-haired. All conform, however,
to the same body standards character
istic of this breed. In general appear
ance they are low to the ground, long
body, short legged with robust muscu-
lar development. The forelegs are
straight. The feet are large and we'll
padded. The coat color is generally
black and tan, although there are
strains that show a marked tendency
toward solid red, tan and brown.

Population by Sex

The excess Of females in the older
countries of the world Is largely bal
aDced by the excess Of males In the
newer countries. In the United States
there are about 100000 more males
than females In Great Britain the ex-
cess is about 100000; in France,
about 100000 females; In Germany,
nearly 100000 females. Canada, Aus
tralla, Argentina, Ceylon and China
have more males. On the basis of
data from 38 countries of the world
there appears to be a larger number
OF females than males, though not a
very great majority.

TRACY SUCCEEDS
III. HI. Br0ach as President
of Electrical Workers

Washington, D. C. (ILNS-Dan W.
| Tracy, of Houston, Texas, has been
appointed president of the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers to succeed H. H. Broach, who
resigned because of i'll health.
Tracy has been vice president OF
the Electrical Workers since 1919, in
charge of District No. 7, centering at
Houston. He has been member OF
the union for twenty years. He has
been very successful in his work, not
ably in the negotiation of contracts.
Announcing the resignation Of
President Broach and the appointment
Of his successor, the international ex-
ecutive council, meeting in Washing
ton, pointed out that Broach's admin
istraton has extended over one of the
most trying times in the history OF
the union. The statement continued:
"This period of depression has CO.
! incded with period of personal i'll
health on his part, and yet during the
three and half years of his incum-
bency he has been at his desk, unless
acute illness decreed otherwise, and
has shouldered the disturbing tasks.
incident to wholesale unemployment,
with devotion and courage.
| H., {o,,, rkar1f
is such that he can not mark time
on any job he undertakes. He has
thrown every ounce of energy into
the task and has spent his talents
unsparingly.
"He began his demonstration with
the much-needed codifcation of our
organization law. He succeeded in in
jecting his own eagerness, persever
ance, devotion and service into wide
spread sections of the brotherhood.
! He has widened the scope and sig
nificance of the presidents functions.
"Such talents have been invaluable
to this organization; yet we must
however reluctantly-abide by his de-
termination to resign. We do this
with the sincere wish that his health
may constantly improve"
Broach was named president in De-
cember, 1929, to succeed the late
James P. Noonan. The election of
Broach, who was then 81, made him
the youngest president of an inter
national union affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor. Be-
fore becoming president, Broach had
been local recording secretary, next
business agent, then an information
al representative, next vice president,
then president.

Committee Of States
Once Ruled the u. s.

There was no executive head Of the
United States under the Articles OF
Confederation. These provided that
congress should have authority to ap-
point committee Of the states," to
consist of one delegate from each
state, to sit In the recess Of congress.
The president Of the congress came
the nearest to being an executive
head. But he, and the committee of
the states" and several other boards
and committees exercised their au-
thority more or less jointly
Among those who served as presi-
dents of congress were Payton Ran
dolph Of Virginia, John Hancock OF
Massachusetts,, John Jay Of New York
Richard Henry Lee of Virginia, and
Arthur ST. Clair of Pennsylvania
There were nine or ten others who
filed the Office.

Hammer. Oldest Tool

For more than million years, the
hammer has carried on, the first I'M
plement Of prehistoric man and the
"father Of all TOOLS" according to an
official Of the American Museum Of
Natural History in New York. Only
in modern times has the hammer
served so prosaic purpose as that Of
tapping at nails. Hitherto, 1t had
pounded meat, rocks, heads. fruits.
bones and clay. The hammer was used
to abrade stones, to grind food, to
club enemies, to crush nuts, to pound
hides, to shatter wood and was even
thrown-the forerunner of the sling
shot and the bullet

The New Testameut

The New Testament was originally
written In Greek. It is not claimed
that any Of the manuscripts written
by the apostles themselves are In ex-
istence, but numerous early copies In
use In the Christian churches Of Eu-
rope, Asia, and Africa, from which
into Latin and other languages, are
preserved in the Vatican library at
Rome, In various monasteries, and
other places. The scriptures were first
translated into English by John Wick

Traces of Vanished Race

A vanished race has left traces Of
an active life on the shores Of north
east Greenland, says the Montreal Her
aid. No trace Of living Eskimos In
that district has been known since
1923. 1t Is thought that some sudden
tragedy must have overcome the Eski-
mos, because in several huts were
found number Of skeletons. In one
place, explorers of the Royal Geo
graphical society found a number of
implements among the ruins, many of
which were preserved and Of archie
illogical value. To Judge from the
implements, the coast seems to have
been inhabited about 14O0-150O.

BY Mr.. MOdestus-

A lot of folks are saying "Revolu-

Aw, Fudge!
The way to say that is, "R-Rr-r-rev-
volution!"
Ugh!
Perhaps, if you speak some Slavic
tongue
You can also hiss when you say
it,
But the "r-r-r" should be a deep
gutteral.
You needn't be scared
That does not take any special
"guts."
1t is just a vocal exercise.
Functioning as an emotional re-
lease.
You must say it the way French
man says "Rr-r-evanche~
But what is all the revolutionary
excitement about?
Why-just that somebody is telling
these high-and-mighty gents
How to run their business.
They have proven that they did not
know how to run it,
Themselves.
President Roosevelt said it:
They "abdicated"--
Abandoned their business.
Quit running the shop.
Said it was "their business
And then went off and left it to run
itself.
In any such case,
1t is a question of salvage of the

LOCAL RELIEF FUND DRIVE A
SUCCESS
Wednesdays Herald)

Wednesdays Herald\
Gratified with their success so
far and encouraged to continue
their efforts on behalf of the As
sociated Charities fund for 1888,
the members of the committee
expressed themselves IS psrticu
larly pleased with the response
secured from the teachers of the
NoRales public schools who
pledged themselves 100 per cent
to contribute to the fund this
year.
In connection with the help
being received by Nogales and
the county from the Reconstruc-
tion Finance Corporation, the
Herald secured the following
statement from Rev. 0. A.Smith,
executive secretary of the Asso.
ciated Charities and in chsrge of
the distribution of the funds SO
cured for relief from all sources
in this section:
The help furnished by the
Reconstruction Finance Corpor
alton com mission to the county
reflects aid in ways which at first
thought does not appear.
First it affords work for the
unemployed and direct relief for
those who are not able to work
or to secure work. This helps
to keep personal respect at the
right level and at the same time
develops gratitude on the part of
the citizen for bis government.
In the second place il serves
to improve public roads which
all travellers receive the benefit
Of 10 savings of time and wear
and tear on cars. Here it is also
being used to furnish labor on
public school building, bringing
lasting benefit to children.
Then the merchant receives
more trade and gets cash for
goods which otherwise be would
keep on his shelves or sell on
uncertain credit.
In addition to this the money
finds its way to the bank and
there becomes an asset to the
community's financial security.
Happily the payment Of this
loan does not directly fall upon
the community receiving it, t,since
it is taken one fifth of the
amount each year from the
amount allotted by >the govern
nent to the state highway for
federal aid roads.
Santa Cruz county should put
forth a heroic sacri6cial effort to
keep this assistance coming as
long as it has need and the gov.
ernment makes such loans. This
can be done by subscribing TO
the local Associated Charities
lund, for the r. F. G. demands
that local assistance must not
be allowed to diminish where
they are helping. In case they
are allowed to diminish the com
munity has no guarantee of fur
ther assistance.
TO date this county has re
ceived $)7.500 from r. F. G.
funds aud it is asking further
aid. A committee of local citi.
zens will call on every person in
the vital matter of securing local
subscriptions to keep this stream
of money coming into the com
munity until conditions change
for the BETTER
