I Centre, Captain King went on to
say that in the past six months, 450
families had been aided by the Sal
walton Army and 1000 transient
men, and that they found that Ii
quor was the cause of difficulties
in only three of the family cases
and only 10 of the transients.
Capt. King then discussed the
methods of handling the liquor
problem in other countries. stating
that in the Army's experience the
British and Canadian methods were
less satisfactory than the Ameri-
can. He cited Adjutant Collier who
recently was transferred from Can
ada to San Diego and who stated
that in his opinion the Canadian
system was a miserable failure.
Thirty-five men and women of
the community were present for the
luncheon served at noon. Mrs. Roy
Womack and Mrs. Dorothy Tired
enick, the latter being Christian
church president, were in
charge.
In addition to Capt Kings talk,

nominating committee, reported
that the office of president would
have to go untitled until the fall

were nominated and elected: Mrs.
Eugene Waterman, vice-president:
Mrs. John w Cook, corresponding
and recording secretary, and Mrs.

PROHIBITION EFFECTS DISCUSSED
AT LOCAL w. c. T. u. GATHERING

Prohibition from the standpoint
Of the Salvation Army was discus
sed by Capt. jess King of the Sal
walton Army at yesterdays meeting
of the local W. c. T. U. held in
the First Baptist church.
Capt. King opened his remarks
stating that the Salvation Army
was in a position to know the facts
concerning prohibition since the
Army includes men and women,
who, before conversion, knew the
saloon and the speakeasy from the
standpoint of customers. Further
more the Armys work brings them
in contact, he stated, with the Ii
quor problem.
During the years of prohibition,
he declared. the Army has eXper-
fenced a marked decrease in the
number of cases where drunken
ness was the problem. To prove his
point he cited a number of inter-
esting figures from ITO Be Or Not
To Be" the pamphlet edited by
Evangeline Booth.

Women Get Advice
In Capitol Picture

Whether or not a girl should tell

however. vitality different today than
it was when it was first propounded.
In these days of modern youth and
so-called enlightened moral view
point, the problem is denied as such
by good many women.
Yet the Columbia story, Virtue =
from the novel by Ethel Hill, adapted
to the screen by Eddie Buzzell with
Carole Lombard and Pat O'Brien
evolving this question, will do con-
siderable to settle the Importance of
the issue once and for all. It is COM
ing to the Capitol Theatre tonight.
Carole Lombard, in the role of
Mae. girl to whom virtue is lux
ury she cannot afford in expensive
New York, finds herself under ar
rest, brought before the magistrate
in the Women's Night Court and con-
frOnted with choice of returning to
home and mother or spending 60
days on Welfare Island.
Maneuvering her way out of police
custody, Mae collidcs with Cupid. 1t
is Love with capital L." bona fide,
the real thing. Should she tell? Per-
haps either way, complications would
have resulted. They certainly do as
the result Of the way Mae selects.
Handsome and popular Pat O'Brien
plays opposite Carole Lombard as
Mae, in the guise of Jimmy. taxicah
driver who knows his women and his
New York. until he meets Mae The
latter seems to know her Jimmies
better than the wise young man sus-
poets. From meeting to marriage. it
is swift game of wits between Mae
and her man.

To Workers When the Plant

Harrisburg, Pa. QLNS)-The re
suits of study by the Pennsylvania
department of labor and industry to
find out what happens to 324 women
workers after their dismissal wher
two silk mills closed permanently ap-
pear in a recent issue of Labor and
Industry" At the time the women
were interviewed, 10 months after
they had been laid off, somewhat over
half were employed, considerably
more than a third We're jobless though
hunting for work, and 5 per cent were
not looking for work. Median weeks
earnings for the women securing new
jobs in silk factories had dropped
from between $40 and $40 for full
week in the closed mills to $15.69 for
the full-tim workers and $3.50 for
the others. Of the families represent
ed by these women, 106 were obliged
to go into debt or to secure outside
assistance, and n drew on savings OF
borrowed money on life insurance OF
other property.

Steel and Tin Workers, of which
Michael j. Tighe is president, has be-
gun nationwide campaign to union
ize the steel industry.
Louis Leonard, secretary treasurer
of the union, said that his organiza-
tion is pushing a battle against the
company unions" which the steel
companies are striving feverishly to
form before the industry comes un-
der the operation of the national in
dustrial recovery act.
Leonard said the battle may be a
determining factor in settling whether
the financial giants of the steel and
coal industries will be permitted to
maintain their traditional open shop
policies.
The Amalgamated is concentrating
the campaign on the United States
Steel Corporation and some of the
larger Independents.
Returning from Gary, Ind, Leonard
announced the formation of a large
union in the United States Steel Cor
poration plant here. He said similar
work has been done in the Calumet

ASK MINIMUM
Child Labor Rule in All
Recovery Codes

New York City (ILNS)-The ma
tional child labor committee has ask
ed Gen. Johnson, administrator of the
national recovery act, to incorporate
a provision barring employment of
children under 16 years of age in any
blanket code that may be adopted
The committee criticized as unsatis-
factory child labor provisions in the
codes proposed for steel and other
hazardous industries.
The following basic principles for
all codes under the recovery act are
recommended by the committee:
A l6-year age minimum should be
included in every industrial code and
should apply to all types of employ
ment in the industry; for industries,
or specific processes in industries
where unemployment is especially
acute or where the risks of employ
ment make advisable adult workers,
an 18-year age minimum should be
specified.
The employment Of learners or ap-
prentices should be regulated strictly
as to the number permitted, wages
and length of the apprenticeship
period.
Wage rates for junior workers
should be based on the capacity OF
the worker relative to adult capacity
and not on an arbitrary age basis.
