Cattle Shocked Along With Corn

Hector-Art and Ed Johnson farmers near Hec-
tor, have novel way to keep their cattle in hand.
They have put up a single strand charged wire
around their pasture and have had trouble since
in keeping their herd within the bounds of bovine
property The wire is charged from the farm plant,
and though the current isn't dangerous it is strong
enough to discourage contact with it. The Johnson
brothers contend that the fence Is cheaper to put
than the regular three strand barbed variety and is
more effective well. The disiusioned cattle are
wary about crossing spots from which the
fence has been removed.

GRIMM SAYS
100000 New Homes a Year
Are Needed

Washington, D. CA vivid pic
ture of the terrible conditions to
which industry has reduced the work
ers during the depression was present
ed by Peter Grimm, assistant to Sec
retary of the Treasury Morgenthau,
in statement describing the hous-
ing needs of the United States.
In connection with his function to
persuade private industry to inaugur-
ate housing projects, Mr.. Grimm is
preparing report for congress on the
imperative need of residential build
ngs. Asked to give his opinion of the
recent report of the committee on eco
nomic recovery, headed by A. S. Freed,
whichurged the construction of750,000
homes a year by 1888, Mr.. Grimm
agreed the figure was an accurate rep
resentation Of the potential re-
quirements," adding:
Included in the nations needs are
not only the normal requirements,
but houses resulting from the un-
scrambling of families and deferred
marriages and also the building Of
houses to replace those unfit for hu-
man habitation."
Because of long deferred building
activity, Mr.. Grimm said America had
a heritage of rotten old houses"
and that the emergency in proper
housing was SO great that "the coun-
try with all its resources cannot soon
meet this problem"

Hotel Owners Hit Minimum
Pay Rates
By A. +. Of L. News Service.

BY A. +. of L. News Service.
The united opposition of New York
state hotel and restaurant owners to
the minimum wage rates for women
and minors employed in the industry
approved by the State Hotel and
Restaurant Wage Board very defin-
itely reveals the low living. standards
which the employers would like to
impose on these types of employees,
most Of whom do not have the advan-
tage of trade union protection.
At the hearing on the proposed
wage rates held in Albany by Elmer
F. Andrews, industrial commissioner,
the employers lined up pretty solidly
against the boards schedule for a
minimum rate of 18 cents, II cents
and Is cents an hour for mattresses,
according to the size of the town; q
cents, 26 cents and 25 cents for non
service employees, and $3.50 So and
$3.50 a week for resident employees.
The board recommended that these
minimum wage rates be established
by direct order issued by Commits
sioner Andrews under the state min
imum wage law
1t is significant that the report was
approved by to vote of the Hotel
and Restaurant Wage Board. The
three employe and three public rep
resentatives on the board endorsed it,
but the three employer representatives.
opposed it.
Rose Schneiderman, of the New York
Women's Trade Union League, led
the arguments for the adoption of the
report. She was supported by John
NJ O'Hanlon, secretary of the New
York State Federation of Labor, and
Mrs. Eleanore Herrick, vice president
of the New York Consumers League.
Mrs. Herrick charged that the report
presented by the minority of the
wage board was wholly false and
misleading"

CANADIAN
WOODSMEN
Illegally in u. S. Are Sent
Back Home

Portland, Me ULNS)-Agents of
the federal labor department, immi-
grafton service, have been campaign
ing against the employment of Ca
madam woodsmen in the pulpwood
and timber logging camps of Maine,
New Hampshire and Vermont, chiefly
near the International border. At one
pulpwood camp on the Maine side of
the boundary, two of the agents
rounded up 25 men who were claimed
to be illegally working in the United
States. About 500 such woodsmen
have been sent back to the Canadian
side of the line from camps in north
ern Maine, New Hampshire and Ver-
mont since the drive was launched.
1t is charged the Canadians were
brought over the line by pulpwood
operators because of accepting lower
wages than the United States citi-
zens specializing in this type of work.
The Investigations have involved trav-
cling into the deep woods to reach
the camps.

PRICE FIXING AND
TAKING
Sections of Guffey Act Are
Held Unconstitutional
BY A. F. of L. News Service.

ny A. +. OF Il. News Service.
Washington, D. C.-The price fx-
ing and taxing provisions of the Guf-
fey coal sterilization act, through
which congress sought to regulate the
bituminous coal industry, were held
constitutional, in decision by Justice
G. Adkins, Of the District of Columbia
court.
He added that the sections regulat-
ing hours and wages of the coal min
ers were invalid because definite
standards are not included in the act.
He said he based his opinion regard
ing the hours and wages sections on
the decision Of the United States Su-
premc Court in the Schechter poultry
case.
The decision was rendered in the
suit brought by James w. Carter,
president of the Carter Coal Com
pany of West Virginia, who asked the
court to issue injunctions restraining
the government from collecting the Is
per cent compliance tax levied on the
price of coal at the mine, and to re-
strain the Carter Company from ac-
cepting the coal producers code pro-
vided in the statute. Justice Adkins
denied both of these injunctions.
He held that price fixing "is within
the power delegated to congress by
the commerce clause" Of the federal
constitution.
Justice Adkins decision was the
second one rendered on the Guffey act.
Federal Judge Elwood Hamilton hand
ed down decision on November Ia at
Louisville, Ky, upholding the consti-
tutionality of the act in its entirety,
Judge Hamilton based his ruling or
a broad Interpretation of the powers
which the general welfare and inter-
state commerce clauses of the federal
constitution confer on congress.

Unless Hours Are Cut and Wages Increased,
Prosperity Will Inevitably Be Followed By
Worse Depression Than Ever, Monthly
Trade Survey Declares.

Washington, D. c. (ILNs)-The
monthly Survey of Business by the
American Federation of Labor this
month needs to be read clear through
in order to get the picture which the
survey is meant to give. AS often hap
pens, tie daily press has taken frac-
ton Of the story, and blown it up"
to represent the whole.
There is good basis for business
confidence" says the survey. "The
upturn this fall has reached higher
level than anticipated. Profits of
1000 corporations have increased 78
per cent in two years. Profits in
1888 were $1,314,oOo,Ooo; 1884, ST.
733,000,000; 1885 profits will prob
ably reach at least $2,340,o0O,0o0"
The survey then gives instances and
authorities, all pointing to a boom.
Then it asks:
Can the coming boom create jobs
for all the unemployed? In the five
years since 1929, the average work
er's producing power in our factories
has increased 25 per cent. Unless
hours are shortened, we shall still
have standing army of unemployed,
numbering in the millions, even when
we reach the peak of the coming
boom.
in every industrial boom, profits
increase faster than wages. Wages
today are not even keeping pace with
the cost of production. In the first
three quarters of 1885, production has
exceeded last year by 81 per cent;
workers buying power by less than
/ per cent"
Workers losses of income, the sur
vey states, have reached the appalling
total of $76,20O,o 100000 since 1929.
All other losses have been about half
that much $40,500, 100000. And all
this is needless.
"A recent study by competent en-
gineers shows that in America today
no one need be unemployed or in pow
erty Proper use of our industrial
resources, equipment and man power
can produce enough to give every
family an income of at least $4,370
a year.
In our year Of greatest prosperity,
one sixth of our population were liy-
ing below the minimum necessary to
health, when all might have had a
comfortable living standard"
while industry operates with
out control, depression follows
prosperity as night follows day."
The survey, speaking for the A. f..
of L., believes that unless hours are
shortened, wages increased faster
than ever before, there will be an
other depression, perhaps worse than
that which began five years ago.

Norfolk, Va. (ILNS)-The strike
against Sam Finkelstein & Co., Nor
folk clothing manufacturer, has been
settled through the intervention of
Miss Anna Weinstock, of the division
of Cancellation. United States Depart
ment of Labor Hyman Blumberg,
member of the general executive
board, Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers of America, conducted the nego-
tiations which were carried on with
officials Of the company. Sam Finkel-
stein signed the terms of settlement
but remained out Of the negotiations.
The strike was called August IA, 1885.
It ran for fourteen weeks, and was
the longest strike in the history OF
Norfolk labor troubles.
The settlement terms are not made
public as a result of an understanding
between attorneys representing the
company and the counsel for the
Amalgamated However, the strikers
are to go back to work on their old
jobs pending the seasonal reorganiza-
tion of work Within a reasonable
time, all workers "as of August Ia"
the date of the strike, will resume
their places in the factory. All other
cases will be taken up through the
facilities of arbitration provided IN
the settlement.
Strikers Approve Settlement
Following the close Of negotiations,
a rousing meeting was held by the
strikers, who came to ratify the set
tlement already agreed to by their
committee.
Although many statements had
been made that not more than 20 per
sons had joined the strike and that
"all jobs were filed" nevertheless,
on November /, an advertisemnt was
inserted in Norfolk daily papers ia
viting the strikers to make applia-
ton for reinstatement. Immediately
following, thirteen more skilled oper-
ators joined the strike. No striker
broke ranks. The hundred and TWEEN
ty-odd strikers represented far more
than their numerical strength in point
of effectivenss.
Mass Picketing Banned
Camp was pitched on lot facing
the factory, and until a sweeping in
junction directed against mass pick
citing was granted, the management
strikers were daily singing and pa
rading in front of the factory. After
the injunction, picketing was limited
to one at an entrance.

Housing Hints
Tips On How And What
To Improve
Draft Regulation

OEdIC hegulotlOn
With the usual equipment, a Chin
ney draft will not be steady and uni
form. An irregular draft will make
the fire unsteady and cause waste Of
heat and fuel.
Automatic chimney draft regula-
tors are now available. This con-
sists of an opening in the smoke pipe
between the check damps and the
chimney, normally closed tightly. The
door is pivoted, and when a puff of
wind at the chimney top increases the
draft the door of the regulator will be
pulled open and enough air will enter
from the cellar to overcome the effect,
with no change in the strength of the
draft through the fire.
Wide Porches
A wide covered porch cuts out a
great portion of the light which
would, if the porch were removed, be
available for the room which has win
dows opening onto it.
Before Winter comes, and the liv-
ing or dining room opening onto the
porch becomes dark and gloomy, re-
move the old porch. An attractive
open terrace, protected by a green
hedge, will be far more pleasant.
During the Summer an awning may
be used for protection from the sun.
Federal Housing Administration
insures modernization credit loans
for work of this kind.
Entry Coat Closet
During the Winter considerable
space is needed for hanging heavy
coats, and for galoshes, umbrellas,
etc. An adequate closet built into
the entry will be found very useful.
A shelf for hats and a waterproof
floor for rubbers should be provided.
A container for umbrellas may be
built in.
1t is a good idea to use a water
proof paint on the walls.
The Federal Housing Administra-
ton insures private financial institu-
tons making loans for work of this
kind.
Fall Check-Up
We live at home more hours dur
ing Winter months than in any other
season. We overlook the fact that
comfort can come only in a we'll
maintained home, and we do not con-
slider making repairs during the Win
ter. This condition is purely the result
of habit. There are many things which
can be done to our houses to make
them more livable and many which
are badly needed to prevent the rapid
deterioration which occurs when re-
pairs are not promptly made. Be sure
to check up your house during the
Fall to prepare it for Winter.

Farmers Improve

land Farm Bureau Officials;
Radio Talk Friday

cooperative marketing is exper-
fencing healthy growth and Mary
land farmers are doing much toward
lettering market conditions" said
officials of the Maryland Farm Bureau
in statement made at Baltimore this
week.
MANY benefits of cooperative mar
keting have been disclosed in the last
several years." said the Farm Bureau
officials. "A very striking example is
the increase in the sale of lambs by
the livestock cooperative. The Eastern
Livestock Cooperative Marketing
Association has doubled the volume of
lambs sold during the first eight
months of 1885. This organization
operates on the Baltimore, Maryland,
Lancaster, Pennsylvania and Jersey
City, New Jersey markets. It serves
Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsyl-
vania, Tennessee as well as Maryland.
"This trend is significant" said
Farm Bureau officials, "as it clearly
demonstrates that farmers realize
they must help themselves and not
depend entirely on government pro-
grams. Those programs give tempo
rary assistance but any longtime
betterment must come from improved
marketing and distribution practices"
