Thirty Hours Week Objective
OF Printers, Declares Typo Head

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-A 80
hour week is the goal Of the Interna
tional Typographical Union, and is
essential if the unemployed printers
are to be put back to work, President
Charles P. Howard, of the union, said
here.
"The daily newspaper code has done
little, if anything, in relieving unem-
ployment among the printers" Presi-
dent Howard said, continuing: "Prac
tically all of the larger newspapers
were on work week Of less than 40
hours before the code was adopted.
More than three years ago, when un-
employment first became serious in
the larger centers, the locals went on
a fve-day week, working from seven
to seven and one-half hours day,
making a 371k hour week, at most.
"On January /, 1888, the Interna-
tional Typographical Union, in all
union plants, limited the work week
to five days, leaving very few on a
40-hour week other than supervisors
and those in specialized lines of work
for whom there were few substitutes.
"Therefore, when the presidents
unemployment agreement went into
effect with 40-hour week, the pub
fishers were able to sign and, insofar
as the composing room was concerned
all they were required to do was con-
tinue the existing plan. PRA cost
them nothing; that is, so far as typo
graphers were concerned.
"There must be further reduction
in hours if the unemployed are to be
absorbed By this we do not mean
that the newspapers must undertake
to absorb all jobless printers, since
part of the responsibility is with the
commercial plants.
"We are hopeful of inducing the
national recovery administration to
reopen the code for revision and fur
tIluI IlIIllCdJlOli VI IlOuIo ooOh eAo
business conditions will permit. We
will ask, and hope to get, work week
of four times the present unit-that
is, four times eight hours where there
is an eight-hour day, or four times
seven and one-half hours where that
is the workday. Eventually, we must
have 30-hour week of four or five
days, the option being with the en-
ployer.
''The international Typographical
Union appreciates that daily news
papers are not susceptible to speedy
recovery in the same degree as many
other industries, for the reason that
it is a contract business and con-
tracts cannot be altered readily.
Therefore, we intend to be patient IN
readjusting labor conditions; other
wise we might retard recovery. When
the depression came, it is true, wages
in newspaper plants did not drop as
rapidly as in other lines. With re-
covery, their return to normal level
has been delayed insofar as hourly
rates are concerned, and we are still
well below the 1928 and 1929 levels,

although there has been some i'm
provement in recent weeks. However,
with the reduced hours, the weekly
pay Of printers is about 162s below
what it formerly was.
eve hope business conditions dur
ing the next year will allow return to
the former pay level, on the basis of
a reduced work week which at the
same time will permit absorption of
jobless printers"

POLICE
Forbidden to Interfere
In Hosiery WalkOut

Indianapolis, Ind. (ILNS)-A three
day reign Of terror marred the Real
Silk strike front and was stopped just
short of murder.
Police shot wildly at strikers and
innocent bystanders, almost killing
children, and scab thugs slugged
citizens. Their attempts to incite
strikers to violence met with no sue
cess, but still they waded in and
turned the strike front into field
Of battle, going so far as to obviously
frame bombing of strikebreaker's
home to start the reign of terror.
Union Appeals to Judge
Finally, in desperation, the union
appealed to impartial Judge Cox,
stern but fair member of the judi
ciary here, who at the behest of Judge
Garvin and Fay Patrick, attorneys for
the union, ordered sweeping injunc-
ton restraining the police and COM
pany thugs from interfering further
with the strike. The injunction or
dered by Judge Cox holds till May
%.
The shootings and the attacks, and
the wholesale arrests of innocent
strikers, among them B. Foster,
courageous organizer for the Ameri-
can Federation of Hosiery Workers,
and William Smith, secretary treas
urer Of the union, had the city in
grip of fear.
All around the mills, and through
the town, big plug -uglies travelling in
swift, armed cars and swinging lead
pipes on the pates of passersby as
well as strikers, and burly cops
brandishing smoking pistol, made the
scene seem more like war-torn trench
es than the peaceful industrial city of
indianapolis.
Striker Sues Police Head
A striker, viciously beaten by the
police, was lying unconscious in the
hospital. A suit for $4,000 is being
instituted in the local courts in his
name against the chief of police,

Mills.
The story behind the scenes, Or
ganizer Foster declared, is that the
Real Silk management, headed by the
notorious anti-labor Papa" J. A.
Goodman, once his thugs posing as
deputy constables" from Warren
township were discredited and run out
of town, managed to reach the police
department.. Chief mike" Morris
sey, though he knew better than any
other the dangers of these thugs and
of Goodman's tactics against the
workers and the union, then issued
an order to the police for violence to

The strikers had been guilty of no
violence. But the police, Interpreting
Chief Morrissey's orders as Goodman

Waiving examination, the three youths who were arrested last week as the hold-up men responsible for two daring crimes here in August were bound over to the next crim- inal term of superior court by Judge Edward Mascolo in police court this morning. Bonds in each case were set at $2,500, after Pro- secutor Joseph Neagle told the court that two of the youths were involved in both hold-ups while the other had participated in one.
 One of the accused, Donald Gius- taniani, IT, of 6S9 North Man street, secured bonds, while the other two, Andrew Jerry, 16, of 53 Bishop street, and John Kane, 20. rof PAS North Main street, were unable to do so and will in all probability remain in jail until the cases are called in superior court.
 Police claim confessions from all three of participation in the hold up of a First National Store at 1O71 South Main street late in An- gust, and confessions from Kane and Giutaniani of the hold-up of Beebe's gas station on East Main street, Guns were used in both crimes, the weapon reported to have been thrown into the water at Lakewood Park. A .32 caliber gun was found in Kane's room on North Main street but is not be- lieved to have been used in the hold-ups.
 Kane and Giustaniana are new corners to this city, according to police, both having come from New York. Jerry was arrested a few months ago for the burglary of a Hill street home and placed on probation in court. The three lads

State Liquor Pretty Good
 Our Ice Cream, Excellent

Examination of 1,52S foods and drugs in Connecticut in 1883 revealed that S7 products, or 17 per cent of the total submitted for examination, were adulterated, below stand- ard or otherwise illegal, ac- cording to the annual report just issued by. the Agricultural Experiment Station at New Haven. Dr E. M. Bailey, chemist in charge of the An- alytical Chemistry department at the statOin, presents his re- port and tables of analyses in , Bulletin 363 which summarizes the states food and drug con- trOl work for the past year.
 Samples were submitted by the station agent and by the Dairy and Food Commissioner. Analyses are given for a com. plete list of products from beauty cream to vinegar, in- cluding 1O5 malt beverages, 34 brands of repeal whiskey and 163 samples of ice cream. Of the 'sillegai" products, p were fOOds-largely olive oil and ice cream-and 60, drugs with iodine, citrate of mag nesium and whiskey making up tine largest number.

 Not Much Water!
 Wide interest in alcoholic beverages attendant on repeal has led to the inclusion of ac- counts on the manufacture and legal standards for beer and whiskey in this years report. Laboratory examination of samples of whiskey showed no deleterious nor poisonous sub, stances foreign to whiskey. The alcoholic content as stated on the labels was substantially correct; the samples were not unduly adulterated with water, and statements of net contents were in agreement with, find- ings. Of the 13 samples la bclIed "FOr mediinal purpOs. es'', however, only three com piled with the standards set by the U., s. PharmacopOcia: two were uncertain, and 6 did not fill requirements. Of these the report states,
 "Our criticism was chiefly that the declaration for me- dicinal purposes was not justi- fled except on whislzey that conforms to the U. s. P., spe- cificatiOns for that article. :. A ruling announced by the Federal Food and Drug Ad- ministration, February 16, 1884, supported this view. 1t holds that medicinal whis- key which does not conform to the phamacopeoial standard must be labelled to differenti- ate. 1t clearly from the official product"

Washington, D. C., Oct. 4.-Seri. 5ous underconsumption of milk among families in Waterbury Conn.,, covered by the national milk survey is indicated by a prelimin- ary report made public today by Dr Fred c. Howe, consumers counsel of the agricultural adjust ment administration.
 The report deals with milk pur. chases by 355 families in Water bury who answered questionnaires in the nation-wi survey of milk consumption among school chil. dren carried on by the club women of the country under Dr Howe's direction. It Is the first report to be issued in cnonection with the Waterbury study.
 Average purchases of fresh milk by the 355 families are shown by the report to be very small, amounting to little more than a half pint a day per capita. Their average purchases of evaporated milk, on the other hand. are above normal. amounting to more than IA pounds a year per capita. The national average per capita con- sumption of this milk product, in- cluding uses, not only in the home, but in resta6rants. bakeries and other commercial esta blishments Is only 12 pounds year.
 Low Average
 Average per capita purchases by the 355 families including both fresh milk and eyaporated milk are found to be very low when estimat- ed on the basis of food value and compared with standards recom- mended by nutritian experts.

Painful Piles
Go Quick-No Cutting-No Salvcs


 If you think an operation is al- ways the only way to escape the misery of torturing Piles, it's be- cause you haven't heard of Hem Roid the harmless internal lnedi- cine discovered by a western phys ician.
 After years of study Dr J. S. Leonhardt was convinced that the cause of Piles was internal--bad | circulation of blood in the lower bowel-the hemorrhoidal veins filled with stagnant blood-and that the right and safe way to get freedom from Pile agony was to remove the cause with an internal medicine. Immediately the doctor set to work to find the remedy. He succeeded and called his prescrip- tion HEM-RHOID. Pile sufferers everywhere are benefitting by Dr Leonhardt's dis covery, so why doubt or delay longer when Apothecaries Hall Go and all druggists say, "No matter what kind of Piles you have. one bottle of HEM-ROID tablets mus. show you the safe clean way to get rid of your pile misery or money back" tS

ting more than his moneys worth as prescribed by law. The new ruling raising the milk fat content of plain ice cream from 8 to 10 per cent, and of fruit and nut ice cream from 6 to 8 per cent, has not affected manufacturers in this state to any extent, Dr Bailey points out. For the past few years 1t has been noticed that the fat content of ice cream as sold in Connecticut has been we'll above the required legal minimum, he writes. "In 1929 nearly 90 per cent of the sam. pies tested exceeded 10 per cent in fat and more than half of them were IF per cent or more"
 However, the dispensers of bulk ice cream are Over-gcner- ous with their portions, if judgment is based on the weight of 36 half-piDts exam ined. According to the Labo- ratOry Manual of the Interna. tiOnal Association of Milk Dealers the weight of a pint of ice cream runs from 8 to 10 ounces. The weight of bulk samples examined ranged from 1O.6 to 1S.S with an average weight of 14.2 ounces. Ice cream contained in manufac. turcrs' packages more nearly cOnfOrmed to the, standards set.
