A. F. OF L. SEES HIGHER IN
COME, SHORTER HOURS
NEEDED TO BALANCE
BUSINESS

WASHINGTON, -(FP)-The need
for a drive by labor for higher income
and a shorter work week is stressed by
the American Federation OF Labor in
its monthly business survey which
found "the present business upswing
showing greater vitality than any since
1888"
Dividend payments in August ex-
ceeded last year by ST., 100000, or 4 per
cent. The steel industry is out OF the
red for the first time since 1880. Or
ders for farm machinery in the first
hall OF 1885 were Is per cent above last
year. The automobile industry sold
10000 more cars this year than last in
the first seven months" it %recounts.
Employment, however, has not kept
pace with gains in business the sur
vey charges. with these signs OF in
dustrial earnings, much depends on the
workers making a drive now for higher
income" This is stressed again later
in the report. Works hours must be
progressively shortened to put the I'M
employed to work wages must be
raised"
Pointing to wage payments in four
basic industries - mining, manufactur-
ing, water and steam railroad transport
tation and building construction-which
normally employ w12,750,000 workers
supporting over Is per cent Of our pop
~ulation, it shows that these wages de-
clined 50 per cent from 1929 to 1882,
and that even by 1884, these workers
income was scarcely more than half OF
the 1929 volume. Their share Of the
national income shrank from 21.9 per
cent in 1929 to 1871 per cent in 1884,
despite a slight gain since 1882.
Hourly wages are still "A per cent
below 1929.
Yet while business is we'll over half
way to normal, employment has never
yet reached the halfway mark" OF
the 100000 fired during the depres-
sion, only about 100000 have been re-
employed. To the remaining 100000
left jobless, the A. F. of L adds $780,
600 already jobless before the crash.
and more than 100000 young
persons who have come to working age
since that time, to make a minimum Of
100000 now jobless. More than
100000 of these are dependent on the
government 100000 on relief, 2,0O0,-
600 on work relief and 10000 on PWA
and CCC.

TRADES COUNCIL
NEWS

NNOntlnued IRON rage -
on record opposing the institution OF
administrative order No. p by Mr..
Hart, administrator of the Works Pro-
gress Commission of the state of Mon
tana. A telegram was ordered sent to
Mr.. Hopkins expressing the opposition
of the unions here to this order. In
the estimation of the union movement
this order is too drastic and tends to
centralize too much power into the
hands of the state administrator.
The Woodley Elliott Company,
also known as the Associated Denver
Tailors, Denver, Colo, were mentioned
in a communication from the Colorado
State Fed. of Labor as being unfair to
that organization. This company OPP
crates through local cleaning plants
and small tailor shops. They have
locked out their union employees and
are attempting to operate their factory
as a training school. The Federation
of Labor alleges that it is a subter-
fuge to secure cheap labor at the ex-
pense OF skilled workers. The matter
was referred to the Union Label Com
mittee to look into.

Some gossip around union headquar-
tiers has it to the effect that the Tooele
Smelter in Utah intends to start opera
tons in the near future and that the
Mountain City Mine in Nevada will
ship its ore TO this concern. 1t is also
rumored that the Walker Mine in Cal
@ifornia is also about to reopen.
Some OF the unconfirmed %conversa-
ton also indicates that the Montana
Power Company is operating to neal
capacity. An officer of one of the
unions stated that this company is pro-
ducing almost as many kilowatt hour,
as it did in 1929. Much of this power i:
being used around the numerous small
and moderately large mining place,
throughout the State and of course q
great deal Of the power is being divert
ed to the Fort Peck Dam opera
ton. There seems to be quite a gen
eral demand for copper and the reporf
is that the Belmont mine, the Origina
mine and the Leonard mine may oper
in the near future.

Frank M. Bins, Butte mining man,
who specializes in the invention OF can
vas tubing for ventilation and who
holds a number OF patents, has just
received Letters Patent No. 2,0O3,732
for a coupling for tubing, an improve
ment over his former coupling, which
had a round contact and in which the
metals touched and often corroded.
The new coupling is in the shape OF a
V-groove, which prevents lateral move
ment and there is no metal contact and
no screws or bolts. The tubing fits
tight TO the coupling flangs. The cuff
on the coupling allows tubing to slip
through it and the tubing installation
may be shortened by this slippage with
out cutting off the tubing, as the tube
slips into the tube ahead, etc. Amer

coupling.

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
GRADE CROSSINGS WILL
UNDERGO ELIMINATION

With Highway Commissioner Henry
G. Shirley's announcement that $13,-
100000 will be spent between now and
June 80, 1886, on roads, bridges, over
passes and underpasses in Virginia,
hope springs anew in the breast of the
traveler-for it seems that the first
noticeable strides are to be taken in
blotting out that motorists bugaboo,
grade crossings.
With work planned that will give
$500 men employment for a full year,
the Highway Department is ready to
spend forthwith the $2,700,000 Federal
fund allocated for construction and i'm
provement on the Federal aid system
roads in the State. That sum must be
matched dollar for dollar by Virginia,
thus allowing a total Of $5,400,0OO for
the current year.
In addition to this money, a federal
grant of approximately $3,5OO,OO0 will
be used for grade crossing elimination
and another of equal amount will be
utilized for highways.
The only strings attached to this
gift are that 80 per cent of the labor
must be gathered from relief ranks
and not less than 25 per cent of the
fund must be expended on secondary
roads and 25 per cent in cities and
towns. Forty per cent of the money
for these projects is dog-eared for
labor, thereby assuring that a maxi
mum actually will go to stimulate en-
ployment.

violation of the new law and must be
removed, whereupon the parson COM
piled. The new ordinance prohibits
signs of any character to be display

Bridge street and Groome's Lane; on
North street, between Main street and
the County Jail; on Bridge street, be-
tween Elk River and the overpass

tween Bow street and Booths Lane.
Exceptions are made to signs pertain
ing to the sale of real estate or per-
sonal property, the location Of the Of
flee of any physician, dentist or law
yer, or the holding of any church SER
vices, or the business of an inn or

dog owned by Mr.. Young, neigh
Dor, rushed out and attacked her,
severely on the lower lip.
Police, summoned to the home by
the child's grandmother, took her to
City hospitals, where the wound was
dressed and intitetanus serum was ad-
ministered.
Witnesses told police that the dogs
cwner watched the efforts of the
child's aunt to drive off the attacking
animal.
Police advised the child's parents
to swear out a warrent for his owner
on charges of allowing vicious ami
NAL to remain at large.

MURDER AND SUICIDE
NEAR DOVER, DELAWARE

"Murder and Suicide" is the way the
coroner's jury described the happening
when Mrs. Myrtle Ford McNatt and
her seven-months-old son were found
dead from revolver shots in their bum
galow in South Dover Heights.
The bodies were first discovered by
Arthur J. Kingsbury, an insurance
man, after he had received a telephone
message from Milford stating that
Mrs. McNatt had phoned there that
she had killed her infant son and was
about to kill herself.
Mr.. Kingsbury went to the bunga-
low, located in a subdivision just
south of Dover, Del, and peering into
the window he saw the woman's body
on the floor. He Immediately noti-
fled authorities and Deputy Attorney
General William J. Storey, State De-
tective d. D. Wharton and Corporal
John H. Conrad, of the State Police,
accompanied him to the house and
forced an entrance.
The body of Mrs. McNatt was found
on the floor of the bedroom with
bullet wound back of her ear. The
baby was dead in it's crib, bullet
having pierced his chest near the
heart. The revolver, from which the
police state the bullets were fired, was
found on the bed.
1t was concluded at the inquest that
Mrs. McNatt had already shot the in
FAINT when she had telephoned to Mil
ford from her home, as a record of
telephone calls verified. After this
it is presumed that she stood between
the bed and crib and fired the shot
that ended her own life and fell to
the floor, the revolver dropping to
the bed.
An autopsy, according to the doctor,
showed that the mothers wound back
of the right ear and the infants chest
would probably kill both instantly.
Mrs. McNatt was the divorced wife
of Emmett McNatt who formerly lived
in Dover and was an automobile

mechanic. It is said that he now lives
on a farm near Milford. The final
decree in divorce was granted in
April, 1924.
The funeral of the mother and babe
took place last Wednesday with both
bodies in one casket.
