CHURCH COUNCIL
FOR UNEMPLOYED

At meeting of Hamilton Protest
ant Church representatives at the
Y. M. c. A., plans were formed for
the organization of church council
for the unemployed.
The purpose of the council is to en-
deavor to secure employment for the
jobless, but in addition to this it is
planned to provide entertainment and
outings to give the unemployed man
and his family some outside interest.
The Church Council will include the
committee of five men, formerly ap-
pointed-Rev. James P. Sturgean of
the u. P. Church, Rev. Walter B. Leis
of the First Reformed Church, DR..
Lester F. King of the Lindenwald
Church of Christ, Rev. Neal D. New
lin of the Congregational Church, and
John L. Prosser, general secretary of
the Y. NJ. C. A. Ten laymen, one
from each church not represented on
the original committee, will be ap-
pointed, and this number will be aug
mented by representatives from all
Protestant Churches, the resulting
committee to have entire authority in
meeting the situation.

EMPLOYMENT
For JObless Asked of New
Administration By
Labor

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Labor
asks that the wealth of the nation
be used primarily for the benefit of
its citizens, the American Federation
of Labor says in the leading editor
ial in the current American Fedora
zionist.
After outlining conditions in the
present crisis and declaring that la
boris hope hangs upon one individual
the new president-the editorial
says:
Labor submits that the humanity
created wealth of this nation be used
primarily to protect and conserve the
citizenry Of our nation.
1--WE can be sustained only by pro-
ducing the things we need. 1t is the
primary duty of the new executive
to give priority to getting our eco-
nomic machine started SO that we
shall have opportunity to earn a liv-
ing. Through national conferences
in which organized workers shall par
ticipate, let us plan to start produc-
ton upon a basis that will lead to
sustained progress. In this emer-
gency, when the safety of one is de-
pendent upon preventing the break
down of capitalism itself, no one can
plead self-interest.
'In the name of millions looking
to it for leadership and help, the
American Federation of Labor asks
the new administration to give us
work. We shall not be content with
makeshifts or doles. We seek only the
right to self-respecting life. The con-
stitution Of the United States assures
US the right to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. We petition
now for that which gives content to
these constitutional rights-the right
to earn living"

New York Minimum Wage
Measure Goes to Senate

Albany, N. Y.-The labor and in
dustry committee of the New York
senate reported favorably the Wald
minimum wage bill. Indications are
that the upper house of the assembly
will pass both this measure and the
minimum wage bill introduced by
Senator Dunningan.
The Dunnigan bill would create a
minimum wage system, but the only
penalty it would provide for violators
of the regulations would be the pub
lication of their names. The bill
sponsored by Senator Albert D. Wald,
of New York city, would make the
application of the minimum wage
rates mandatory.
1t is said the sponsors for the leg
islation intend to have the bills
adopted by both houses so that Gov
ernor Lehman could make a choice.

American Monkeys Differ
From Old World Cousin.

Though we are scarcely ever aware
OF 1t, our thumbs are very important
to the usefulness Of our hands. And
there is no surer way of being con-
vinced of this than to go to some ZOO
and watch the hands and feet OF
monkeys.
The interesting thing about the hu-
man thumb is that 1t Is faced toward
the other fingers and can meet each
of them. tip to tip. 1t gives our hands
a decided advantage, for instance, over
the paws of animals, In nearly all of
which the thumb-claw is no more USE
full than our own big toes are.
But the feet of monkeys are unique
among animals. The monkeys big toe
is placed as conveniently as our own
thumbs. And some monkeys have
handy thumbs as well as convenient
big thumb-like toes. They thus have.
practically speaking. four hands with
which to grasp the boughs of trees. No
wonder they are able to jump swiftly
and surely from branch to branch and
tree to tree
American monkeys differ from their
African relatives In several ways.
They have "a teeth instead OF 20.
They have no cheek pouches for stor-
ing food. They usually have long and
useful tails, whereas some OF the old
world monkeys are without tails. And
they are tanner and more playful than
their African cousins.
The tails of African monkeys are Of
little use in swinging from tree to tree,
but the tail of the American monkey
is as good as another arm would be,
or better.
The African monkeys are generally
considered more intelligent than the
agile little American monkeys, but 1t
is the American monkey that is tame
enough to be trained to do tricks
which generally net cupful Of coins
for his master.-Boston Herald.

The COOPERATIVE Trades and Labor
Council met Tuesday night in regular
session. President Lee Inman pre-
sided, and twenty>eight delegates
answered the roll call.
The minutes of the previous meet
ing were approved as read.
A committee from the local Stove
Mounters' Union asked permission to
address the council, which was grant
ed. They explained the grievances as
now existing between their organi-
zation and the Estate Stove Com
pany After several delegates ques-
toned the committee regarding con-
ditions, motion was offered that a
committee be appointed to investigate.
The chair appointed Chapins, Cum
Minis and Frederichs on the commit
tee.
A communication was read from
the American Federation of Labor in
which VIM. Green, president, states
that the officers and members of the
A. F. of L. have reason to be pleased
over the progress which labor has
made during this winter in securing
the adoption Of the child labor
amendment to the constitution by the
legislatures of Washington, Oregon
and North Dakota. Green appeals to
all State Federations and central bod
les to concentrate their efforts to
have states adopt the child labor
amendment where it does not exist.
On motion the communication was
received and ordered complied with.

Federation of Labor were on motion

serving as the central body's presi-
dent.
Chas. Hosea in his inaugural ad-
dress to the delegates stated that he
would do all he can to give the GEN.
trail body good administration and
to make it success.
The very few delegates who re-
ported on conditions in their crafts
stated they are about the same as be-
fore, and not very encouraging.
Chas. Chapins, treasurer of the
1882 Labor Day picnic committee,
made his final report, and on motion
the report was received and the bal
ance of the profits, which are very
small, were turned into the general
fund.
1t was a pleasure to hear that a
few of the unions delinquent for tick
cts made a settlement, and others
promised an early settlement.
