other evils of the industry, as
1t opens the way for higher
minimum wages than the $12
and $13 a week provided as
soon as conditions in the in
dustry permit.
And it reserves the right to re-
duce working hours at any time, if
employment lags below its present
level.
Child labor in the cotton mills
was abolished by action of the in
dustry itself, during hearings on its
code.
President Roosevelt struck at
other abuses by attaching conditions
to his approval of the code.
Plugs Many LOOphOles
He also plugged half dozen
loopholes through which effective
ness of the minimum wage and short
work week provisions might have
been lost.
These conditions were attached to
the code by the President.
Plans for employee ownership of
company houses are to be submitted
by Jan. /.
Office employees are included in
the hour and wage agreements.
Repair shop crews, engineers,
electricians, and watching crews are
excepted from the wage and hour
provisions, only on condition that
they receive time and a half for
overtime.
Protects Skilled Workers
Cleaners and outside workers
almost all of whom are Negroes
are excepted, as the industry asked,
only on condition that 2 wage and
hour scale for these classes be pre-
pared by Jan l.
To prevent minimum wages from
dragging down wages paid to skilled
employees, the President provides
that existing amounts by which
wages in the higher paid classes ex-
coed wages in the lower paid classes
shall be maintained.
He specifically provides that work.
ers shall not be allowed to work
forty hours in one mill, and addl-
tional time in another.
He also provides that minimum
wages shall apply both on piece
work and time rate bases.
Limited to Four Months
Until provisions of the code pre-
venting the Stretch-out are formu-
lated, following report of special
committee now at work on the prob
lem, employers are required to OBJ
tain approval of the enforcement
agency before making any increases
in the amount Of work required of
an employee.
Approval of the code is limited
to four months, and the right to
modify it before that time is re-
served.
The President also reserves the
right to appoint three persons to
the planning and supervisory COM
mittee which the industry intends
to set up as a continuing body to
enforce the code and plan produc-
ton, price and credit control within
the industry.
One to BE Official
One of these three persons is to
be a representative of cotton mil
labor, another a cotton mill en-
ployer. and the third a representa-
tive of the government.
The Presidents order states that
approval of the minimum wages
proposed by the code is not to be
regarded as approval of their eco
nomic sufficiency, but is granted IN
the belief that, in view of the large
increase in wage payments provided
by the code, any higher minima at
this time might react to reduce
consumption and employment, and
on the understanding that if and
as conditions improve, the subject
may be reopened with a view to in
creasing them

the Wisconsin conference at Madison
also in December. Governor Floyd
B. Olson of Minnesota and the lead

party have promised their full sup
port and cooperation in this effort
to build state parties in the adjoining
states, is the declaration of Mr.. Will

The national executive committee Of
the L. |. P. A., also decided to stress
as a part of its winter work, accord
ing to Mr.. Williams, the movement for
naturalization of banks. Mr.. John 7.
Flynn, economist and nationally-known
financial authority was commissioned
to prepare a pamphlet on the subject
for the League to be used widely as
a weapon in the fight for legislation
in Congress by the 10000 members of
the League and its 200 branches and
local representatives scattered over
the country.
Another special item adopted by the
executive committee and announced
by Mr.. Williams is the effort to in
crease purchasing power by means of
a ten billion or more dollar %appropria-
ton for public works by the new Con-
gress, to be paid for by drastically in
creased income, inheritance, excess
profit and gift taxes on wealth in the
higher brackets. This is to be coupled
with an effort to secure passage of
the Frazier Bill for agriculture and a
program for severe interest rate re-
duction on bonds and mortgages.

FARMERS
FORCONFERENCE

CHICAGO-(FP)- More than 40
states were to be represented at the

Chicago, Nov. 1913.

recently on strike.
About $50 farmers from the far
west, including the state of Washing
ton, Oregon, Montana, Wyoming, Ne
braska and North and South Dakota
converged on Denison, Ia, where thou
sands of farm strikers greeted them.
Picket lines in Wisconsin and Mime

Do you think that twins are a

The experience Of the Ben-Hur
Life Association has convinced the
officers of that fraternal life insur-
ance organization that these inter-
eStlng personalities are not so rare
as the experience of the ordinary
individual might lead him to think.
Back in 1927 the association be-
gan to keep records of the twins
that joined it, and since hardly
month has passed without the adj
dlt1on Of from one to half a dozen

Manufacturers and Retailers Reuiew
HEAT BANISHED
WITH USE OF
NEW ICE FAN
Offices, Rooms and Homes
Can Be Comfortable at
Little Cost.

Occasionally, in the extremely
hot weather, one enters an office
where everybody seems to be keenly
alert, and where no one is grum-
bling at the weather or gasping in
the humidity of muggy day. Men
and women go about their accus-
toned tasks at ease, with all facul-
ties alert, and in comfort.
In such Offices, if one will look
about, he will see a strange piece
Of furniture, quite in keeping with
the office equipment, and yet with
out filing drawers or compartments.
Soon he will discover that the COOL
ness Of the Office seems to come
from a fan located on this piece of
furniture, and the air will have a
reviving effect on those who breathe
it.
Asking questions, the visitor will
learn that what makes hot rooms
as cool as ocean breezes comes from
this Modine ice fan, an appliance
distributed by the Polar Ice and
Fuel Company. This portable ice
cooler makes hot, stuffy rooms cool
and invigorating by the circulation
of clean, fresh, tempered air, and
reduces excessive humidity by dry
ing out its moisture.
It's operation is simplicity itself.
All that is required is that it be
plugged into any electric light
socket. In cost it is little more than
a good electric fan-and it is a
means of doing more and better
work, for the mind of the worker
is not distracted by the discomfort
of great heat.
Three sizes are offered-thus car
ing for the small office or the large
one. In fact, there is no reason
why its use should be confined to
offices. 1t is a fine addition to the
home, and can be used in assembly
halls and stores with great salts
faction.

FRANCK BOOSTS
FOR FISK TIRES
Most for Money, Declares
Distributor for Mar
ion County.

Between 1000 and 5000 tires are
carried in stock by Charles H.
Franck, SAB East Washington street,
local distributor for Fisk tires.
Franck declares they offer the most
for the money in well-tested struc-
ture, greater contact with the road,
and unusually long service.
This enthusiasm he inculcates into
large number of Marion county
drivers, for people buy a new car,
drive it to Franck'S place of business,
and have Fisks put on all around.
This, Franck declares, is real econ
omy.
The wholesale part of his business
covers counties adjoining Marion,
and he has large number of deal
ers who share in the opinion of this
tire. Business this year has been
better than last with this house-an
indication that customers, too, are
sharing in the enthusiasm over the
Fisk.
The Franck shop services tires of
all kinds. Tire prices are on the up
grade, so Franck urges his patrons
to replace tires now, and buy Fisks.

Occasionally the Ben-Hur Life
Association finds triplets among its
monthly list of new members. For
instance, only few months ago the
famous Taylor triplets of st. Louis
joined Ben-Hur. They are 80 years
old and have had most interest
ing career.
They became expert singers, dane
ers, wreStlers and boxers and from
1906 to 1918 they were with Barnum
& Bailey or Ringing Brothers or in
vaudeville. In 1918 they enlisted
for the World war in the United
States army and served two years.
Now they are in business, their APP
