A. F. Of L. President Tells Senate Committee the
Economic Force Of the Organized Workers
Will Be Modified to Compel Reactionary En-
ployers to Apply the Thirty-Hour Week.
Prefers Legislative Enactment, But Advocates
The Strike AS Last Resort.

Washington.-Organized labor in
the United States will strike If nee
essary to secure the nationwide
adoption of the thirty-hour week.
This emphatic declaration, pregnant
with meaning, was made by William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, who appeared
as the first witness before the senate
judiciary subcommittee on the bill
sponsored by Senator Hugo l.. Black,
of Alabama, to establish the five-day
week and six-hour day in all indus
tries engaged in interstate COM
merce.
Mr.. Green said he was so thorough
ly convinced of the necessity of the
shorter work day and work week in
order to provide jobs for the millions
of unemployed that 1--WE are prepared
to support plan to bring it about
and establish it either through legis-
lative enactment, through persuasion
of those who are willing and ready to
yield to the facts of the situation, or
to exercise our economic force in COM
pelling employers to apply the six
hour day and the fve-day week"
"How would you exercise your eco
nomic force to compel them to do
that without any law being passed 2"
asked Senator Norris, chairman of
teh subcommittee.
"By calling strikes where the men
are organized and thus withhold the
services of those who are employed
until industry establishes the shorter
work day and work week." Green re-
piled.
Senator Norris said he hated to be-
lieve that it would be necessary to
resort to the strike to secure shorter
hours.
| LabOr's Strength Is Economic Force
"The only way that organized la
Dor has secured increases in wages
and improved conditions of employ
ment. is through the exercise of their
economic strength" Green replied
1--WE shrink to think it will be nee
essary to take such steps, particularly
during such a period Of widespread
unemployment as now prev al !
throughout the nation. But industrial
employers refuse to take action. They
refuse to accept the facts. There are
some who have shown a very broad
attitude toward this, whole problem
and have voluntarily applied the five
day week, but they are so isolated
that the establishment of the shorter
work week in few industries has no
effect upon the general situation.
"We are terribly in earnest about
this. The economic situation has
reached a serious point, and we can
not go along on the old basis. We
cannot tolerate the situation as it now
exists. If employers Of labor, who
own and control industry, refuse to
yield to the facts of the situation
then what must we do?"
Mr.. Green did not mince words in
telling the subcommittee what organ
lied labor must and would do in case
employers persisted in their refusal
to establish the thirty-hour week.

For year the division would run
thus: (193D: Wages, $7,225, ,587. .464;
value added by manufacture, $19,912,-
984,981; value of products, SAL $780,
108,998. Wages were a little more
than a third Of the value added by
manufacture and something more
than sixth of the value of output.
The bureau said the rate of de-
crease in the number of wage earn
ers, 1858 per cent, "underestimates
somewhat the extent of the decrease
in the actual amount of employment,
of the aggregate number of man
hours worked, for the reason that the
proportion of part time employment
was undoubtedly larger in 1881 than
in 1929"

lishment of a central agency for the
allotment of peanuts to be moved
proportionately from each locality ap-
pears a likely eventuality. The clean
ers of this section, who appear to be
in sympathy with the protesting
growers, are to be asked to buy only
peanuts allotted for sale by the CEN
trail agency.
In order to put teeth in the plan,
the meeting here Sunday enacted a
resolution in which was the following
paragraph:
"To insure the moving of peanuts
through this agency, thorough and
effective system of picketing will
shortly be established in the counties
of the peanut belt, and no more move
ment of peanuts by cars, trucks, rail-
roads or wagons will be permitted
without a written order from such
agency"
1t is apparent that the growers have
the sympathy of most of the mer-
chants of eastern Carolina and Vir-
ginia.

War In Europe kept France from re-
inforcing Montcalm In Canada or the
French commanders In India. Thus
Canada became British md India
fell under British domination.
1t is not only easy, but reasonable,
to argue that the American Colon
lists, with French menace remain
ing to their north, with no heavy
taxes to pay on the war bill, and with
no British troops quartered in their
homes, would have been content to
remain Colonists, under Englands
protection. o.
1t is not only easy, but reasonable,
to argue that without this blow to
Bourbon prestige, and without the
taxes heaped upon the French peo-
pie by the costs of a lost war, the
throne of the Capets probably would
have survived. And 1t Is obvious
that without a French revolution
there would have been no Napoleonic
ambitions, and quite possibly no birth
of the nation in arms" Idea, which
developed through the next century
to bring on the World War.-Minne-

1t wasn't until he was almost

Then she realized what he probably
was--a burglar.
Annie couldn't stand keeping her

Maria Theresa's Ambition
to Recover Silesia, and
It's Results.

Fascinating are the ifs" OF his
tory. A magazine, q time ago, car
ried series of articles, by widely
known writers, specializing as to
what might have happened had Booth
missed Lincoln, or had Lee won at
Gettysburg, or had any one of score
of other past decisions of fate been
reversed. The collected articles have
since appeared In book form.
These speculations are all interest
Ing, and all are based on some rath-
er big ifs; on incidents obviously
of major Importance.
But more interesting still is an ex-
ploration among the smaller .'Ifs" &C
the past-"ifsp small in themselves,
but Of profound Importance in their
effect upon subsequent history. For
instance, the conclusion is readily
tenable that there might have been
no American revolution, no French
revolution, no British empire, and no
World war, II Maria Theresa had not
decided that 1756 was good time
for the recovery of Silesia from Prus-
sia.
Silesia does not bulk large on the
map. The identity of Its overload
has never been Of much Importance
to the world at large. Yet the Aus
trian empress determination to take
1t back from Frederick the Great, 1T6
years ago, spanked powder trail
that Is still burning.
Maria Theresa, for her Sllesian en-
terprise, won the support Of France
and Russia. Frederick got the help
of England. Thus started the Seven
Years war, the American ramifica-
lions Of which are commonly called
the French and Indian war. In the
end, neither Austria nor Prussia
gained anything. But England gained
plenty and France, on the other hand,
lost plenty. For the adroit Pitt had his
own purpose in supporting Frederick.

Even if you refuse to step on
scale in public, it's possible to dress
in such a way as to create an illu-
sion of slenderness. The secret lies
in lines. Neat, pointed and vertical
lines take inches off your waist and
hips, and make you feel, as we'll as
look, years younger.
Just so are the lines of this frock.
Those. graceful sleeves, wide at the
elbow and snug at the wrist, are
easy to do. The skirt scanning is a
clever design for slenderizing.
Wear the bow soft and rather
small-not large or 11oppy. The pat
tern also provides a cape, which
may be Worn with or without the
