Chicago (ILNS)- With enthusiasm
and unanimously the Chicago Fedora
tion Of Labor passed twin resolutions
protesting against the appointment of
Gen. Robert E. Wood, Chicago mail
order and chain store mogul, to the
chairmanship Of the Presidents Ad-
visory Council to advise on the ex-
penditure Of the S4,880,000,000 work
relief appropriation, and directing at
tention to the monopolistic practice of
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company in permitting r. r.
Donnelley & Sons Company to print
approximately 500 telephone direc-
tories without competitive bidding.
The delegates were glad to express
labor's long smoldering resentment at
the policies of Sears, Roebuck and not
single delegate defended the mail
order house or the telephone com
panies. L. P. Straube, editor of the
Federation News, official organ OF
Chicago labor, was generously ap-
plauded following a recital of part OF
the unsavory history Of the Bell tele-
phone companies and directing atten-
ton to the action of the Chicago Fed
GRAFTON of Labor in forcing the Chi
cago corporation to disgorge $20,o0O,
600 in overcharges.
The two resolutions were introduc-
ed at the federation meeting by the
delegates from Chicago Typograph-
ical Union No. 16.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1935-05-03
Strong Protest Made

The first resolution, after directing
attention to the close alliance that
has existed for many years between
Thomas E. Donnelley, president of
R. R. Donnelley & Sons Company and
internationally notorious as would
be union buster, and General Wood,
whose signature is attached to $780,
100000 printing contract with the
Donnelley firm, the resolution most
emphatically, earnestly and vigorous
ly, protests against any such recogni-
ton being accorded the said Gen.
Robert E. Wood or anyone else even
remotely connected with him or with
Thomas E. Donnelley"
The resolution directs that copies
be forwarded to the president of the
United States, to the two United
States senators from Illinois, to the
two congressmen-at-large from Hi
nois, and to the ten representatives
in congress from Chicago.

WEST SIDE PARK TO
BE SOUGHT BY BOARD
Negotiations for Site to Be Re-
opened After State Ruling.


opened After State Ruling.
Negotiations for land to provide
a West Side park will be reopened
after Jan. by the Park Board,
Jacket w. Joseph, president, said
today.
The announcement followed res
toration Saturday by the State Tax
Board of a 4-mill park levy in the
1886 civil city budget. The state
board held that under the 1888 act
the Park Department had a right
to regulate its budget, independent
of the power of the City Council.
1--WE hope to obtain adequate
grounds on the West Side to give
that section the park which it asks,
but we will not pay exorbitant
prices for any tracts deemed suit
able for the USE" Mr.. Joseph as
serted. I'VE can do nothing until
after Jan. /, because the money will
not be available until that time"
When preliminary action on this
matter was taken by the board last
summer, West Side residents were
in disagreement on the location of
the park.
Harry Miesse. secretary of the In
diana Taxpayers Association, which
carried the fight for budget reduc-
ton to the state board, said he
believed the right of the state body
to increase the park levy was de-
batable.

BIRTH CONTROL HIT
BY CATHOLIC WOMEN
Radical Teachers AssaiIed
by Resolutions.

FORT WAYNE, Ind, Nov. 18.-
Launched on program of vigorous
oposition to birth control and rad
ical" teachers in schools and COL
leges delegates to the fifteenth an
nual convention of the National
Council of Catholic Women today
formulated resolutions to guide the
organization.
Archbishop John T. McNichols of
Cincinnati, in the keynote sermon
opening the convention Sunday, de-
manded complete revision of the
American school system.
1T is shocking" he said, ito think
that in every section of our coun-
try there are militant advocates of a
decreasing birth rate, not accord
ing to a virtuous, but according to
criminal code.
Despite this state of affairs,
school people are striving to in
crease the number of pupils by ad-
vancing the age of school attend
ance."
The archbishop told the more
than 1000 delegates and high rank
ing clergymen that the American
educational system is furtherlng the
spread of subversive social and DO
lltical doctrines and undermining the
home. He attacked state control of
youth education, a function which
he said should be left to parents.

VANNUYS AIMS
AT CHAIN SHOPS
Senator Announces Series
of Amendments to Anti
Trust Laws.
BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.-Sena-
tor Frederick VanNuys intends to
launch his attack on chain stores
through a series of amendments to
the antitrust laws, rather than
through additional taxation, he dis
closed today.
These amendments will provide
that data on sales to chains must
be filed by manufacturers and pro-
ducers with the Federal Trade Com
mission. Price discrimination would
be banned.
The law will apply only to in
terstate commerce and thus is
within the bounds of the Federal
Constitution, VanNuys said.
Senator Issues Report
After several weeks studying the
matter, the Senator today issued a
report on his findings. He traced
the greatest period of development
OF the chain systems to the last dec
ade and pointed out that food and
grocery chains now are credited with
A per cent of the nations business
in these commodities.
While the chain stores originally
confined themselves to the larger
cities, their most marked expansion
during recent years has been in the
smaller towns and country districts, -
VanNuys declared.
The most casual investigation
must lead to the conclusion that
national chain store merchandising
is developing to the point where it
threatens to monopolize our retail
trade and ultimately destroy the in
dependent wholesaler and retailer"
Charges Price Concessions
Charging the chains with forcing
price concessions in purchasing
commodities, he continued:
Il get the following data from an
independent Indiana wholesaler. This
dealer pays 21a cents per cake for
a certain nationally known prod
uct. The terms are net cash, no
discount and no advertising allow
ance.
"A certain national chain pays
21a cents per cake, less 10 per cent
discount and $4,000 per month as
an alleged advertising allowance"

Sun Is Doing Encore.

old SOL peeked forth from be-
~ hind the clouds at 1920
a. m. today and allayed for the
time being, at least, considerable
speculation as to his whereabouts
for the last week or so.
1t was the first time the old fell
low had put in an appearance
since 1886 p. m. Nov. 9.
AS often happens in the case
of those who disappear quite sud-
denly for no apparent reason aft
er establishing reputation for
regularity, there had been quite a
bit of talk.
In fact, Old Soils persistent alb
sence rapidly was approaching
the proportions of a community
scandal. There had been gossip
he and Mother Earth had quar-
relied and that this had caused
the old fellow to sulk and strike
up more or less permanent at
tachment with planetary hussy,
who henceforth would bask in his
life-giving rays.
DROBABLY cognizant of the
Il gossip, it was noted that on
his brief temperance today he
seemed rather sheepish. His re-
turn to the domestic hearth was
more Or less tentative as if trying
to determine whether Mother
Earth was in vindictive mood
or ready to greet the wanderer
with forgiving hug.
But his temperance did seem
to soften some of the uglier ru-
mors that had been spread and
now it is the consensus, the damp
ISL weather of the period being
recalled, that the old fellow, after
all, was merely off on a bender
and though he might need a few
days to sober up would soon be-
come reconciled with his long
suffering spouse.
Apparently the reconciliation is
to be gradual, because the
Weather Bureau forecast is con-
tinued cloudiness for the next few
days, with rain tomorrow.
Indicative of the fact that
Mother Earth is still quite in
dignant about the whole thing,
temperatures are to rise and
warmer weather is the prospect
for tomorrow.

4 DIE, 8 LOST
AS SNOW, COLD
HIT EAST COAST
Canada o-North Carolina
Storm Brings Damage
of S1,500,00O.
By United Press

By United Press
NEW YORK, Nov. 18-Snow,
sleet and tumbling temperatures
whipped down the Atlantic Coast to-
day on a gale that in "a hours killed
four persons, swept eight or more
men to sea in small boats and caused
damage from Canada to North
Carolina probably exceeding
$1,500,000.
Government weather forecasters
said the gale from the northern At
iantic, which at times jumped to 80
miles an hour, probably would abate
and shift to the northwest today
but temperatures would drop
sharply.
Snow Drifts in Four States
Snow drifted heavily over most of
New England, New York, Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey. Sleet COW
cred highways. The highest tide in
many years piled surf over shore
roads and breakwaters. Two coastal
ships wallowed toward port under
watch of Coast Guard cutters after
S o S calls. A washed out track on
Long Island wrecked train.
The northern coast of New Jer-
sey and the ocean side of Long
Island bore the brunt of the gale.
A ceaseless rain and surf that
pounded hundreds of feet beyond
normal high tide flooded dozens of
towns and damaged hundreds of
seaside buildings.
Sea water filled the streets Of
Tslip, Amityville, Babylon, Bay
shore and Lindenhurst four and
five blocks inland from the usual
tide line.
Duck Hunters Safe
Five duck hunters, missing since
the storm, reported themselves safe
today. They revealed they stayed
in boats near Low Island through
out the night.
At least eight other men were
missing along the coast of New Eng
land. The fishing boat Richard and
Arnold, with crew of six, was "a
hours overdue at ProvincetoWn on
Cape Cod. Two Brimf1eld, Mass,
men who embarked yesterday in a
skiff on BuZzards Bay had not re-
turned.
Two steamers approaching port
after 24-hour battles with the storm
were so badly beaten that Coast
Guard cutters stood by, ready to
take off their crews. The S. S. Flor
ida was nearing Chesapeake light
ship with seas pouring into her hold
through smashed matches. She had
man aboard with both legs
broken.
Freighter in Distress
The S. S. Hartwelson, 3O00- ton
coal freighter from Boston, was in
distress off the Maryland coast with
81 men aboard. Her master broad
cast an S o S at dawn yesterday
when seas smashed his lifeboats and
deck ventilators and smothered the
heavily laden ship under surging
burdens of green water. A seaman
was swept overheard and lost in a
struggle to lash tarpaulins over the
open ventilator outlets.

DRAWS ATTACK
Pact Is Gold Comfort to

WEST IS UP IN ARMS
Lower Tariffs viii Revive
Trade, Help Peace,
New Deal Says.
By United Press

BY Cnttcu fFcSS
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19-The
Administration new reciprocal
trade agreement with Canada drew
sporadic and generaliZed complaint
today from agriculture and lumber
interests.
The agreement to lower tariff
barriers on many exports of both
nations-hailed by the Administra-
ton as a model instrument for re-
vival of trade and strengthening of
world peace-attempted to balance
concessions to the greatest mutual
benefit.
Lumber and agricultural products
tariffs were lowered to benefit
Canadian goods. Manufactured
goods of the United States will bene-
fit by similar concessions on the
part of Canada.
Capital circles were unusually
cautious in their comment, insist
ing that the details must be studied
to indicate the results of the agree
ment.
Text Made Public
But from farm, labor and lumber
interests of the West came general
lied protests, some insisting that it
would be "ruinous" to agriculture
and others predicting it would lead
to grave difficulties in the lumber
industry.
Representatives of the National
Grange said the pact was cold COM
fort" to the farmers. The president
of the Chicago Federation of Labor
asserted that labor wanted tariffs
that will keep out products of coun-
tries with cheap labor"
The text of the treaty, made pub
lie by President Roosevelt yesterday,
revealed that the United States and
Canada each made important tariff
concessions to the other in neigh
borly spirit of give and take. The
President insisted that, despite these
concessions, the agreement provided
for adequate protection to the do
nestle markets.
Effective Jan. 1
1.-THE agreement should assure in
crease in the exports of each coun-
try to the other" said an official
statement. That means a marked
increase in their total export trade,
since Canada is the second largest
customer for our exports and since
the United States is the second
largest consumer of Canadas ex-
ports.
The treaty becomes effective Jan.
