Tampa, Fla. (ILNS) Continued
pressing Of labor's fight for 30-hou1
week legislation was assured by action
of the American Federation of Labor
l.convention in voting virtually unani-
mously to demand federal 30-hou1
week law.
The convention, on its closing day
declared that the 30-hour week was
the "only means of mastering unem-
ployment' and instructed the execu-
tive council Ito take all necessary
steps to have a 6-hour day and 5-day
week bill introduced and enacted into
law at the coming session of con-
gress."
The convention also declared the
6-hour day and 5-day week the para
mount objective" of the A. F. of L.
and instructed the executive council
Ito spare no effort in enlisting the
support of all the people in its be-
half"
Green Defends Proposal
William L. Hutcheson, president of
the United Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners, opposed the conventions
stand ON 30-hour week legislation on
the ground that what congress can
give it can take away. He urged eco
nomic action as the best way to
shorten the work day and week.
President William Green, of the A.
F. of L., defended the shorter work
week as the only remedy for techno-
logical unemployment. He said that
if displacement of men by machines
cannot be stopped by the 6-hour day
and 5-day week, then labor must de-
mand even fewer hours.
Action in closing sessions of the
convention included important changes
in basic law of the federation. These
provide for action in cases where sus-
pension is held necessary and for in
PRODUCTION of resolutions in future
conventions.
Curb on Resolutions
Hereafter all resolutions must be
filed with the president or secretary
80 days prior to the convention, ex-
cept in the case of state federations
international unions and departments
which have held conventions within
that 80 days. They may file resolu-
tions up to five days before the con-
vention. State federations and cen
tral bodies may send only such reso-
lutions as have been adopted by these
bodies. Federal unions may file resi-
lutions with the executive council and
the council is required only to advise
the convention of it's disposition Of the
resolutions.
The convention also limited the
fright of central bodies to boycott en-
ployers which have agreements with
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1936-12-11

If the contract be held legal as to
the defendant labor unions, it must,
likewise, be held valid as to the de-
fendant association. The contract can
not be effective as to one signatory and
ineffective as to the other. If labor
union is legally entitled to enter into
the agreement here assailed, such
privilege would be wholly illusory if
the contract were to be held invalid
as to the other contracting party"
Justice Rosenman said that the OBJ
vious intent of the law as it stood was
to remove from labor unions all pro-
hibitions which have their basis in re-
straint of trade. Whether such pref
erences are proper is not for the
courts, but for the legislature, to
decire. They are reasonable classi-
fcations, which it is not the judicial
function to disturb"
Goes Back to Rail Cases
This, as an attorney for the defend
ing union pointed out, goes back to
the old days when the Supreme Court
of the United States, in these closely
similar railroad cases, told the plain
tiffs to go to the legislature, not to
the courts
The union is said to control SO per
cent of the fur workers in the metro
politan area, and has refused to make
a contract with the complaining as
sociation, though ready to make one
with the individual firms, or to extend
the contract of the defendant associa-
tion to all fur firms that join it.

Susan, putting her hand over the
handkerchief. you aren't wear
ing as much rouge as I am. Don't
let him browbeat you"
why, don't you know, Susan,
that things always look worse on
a mans wife than on other
women? 1t makes you intriguing,
and me a 'Jezebel.'
"Helenl" There was a strange
fury rising in Johns eyes, the
fury of a man trapped at his own
cunning fury of a man being
outwitted.
I'm sorry" said Helen sin
cerely. Come, we must be going
Well drop you by your place, Su-
SAN"
Helen was amazed at herself
for taking command of the situa-
ton. Sometimes she felt that she
was really two people-one, Johns
loyal and timid wife, and the
other a woman capable of a ca
reer, a woman capable of holding
her own. Nevertheless, she was
conscious of something very akin
to panic, AS they made their way
through the crowd, she thought
to herself that one would think
it had been she who was caught
having an affair, judging from
her fear. Yet she was analytical
enough to realize that it was the
fear of having John taken from
her that was so disturbing.
When they reached the car, Su-
san said, What lark, the three
of us out together. Let's have a
party! know tavern where we
can get a hunters speciaf--ham
and eggs in a clever way"
II think we'd better get on
home, don't you, John ?" said
Helen, but John decided that it
might be fun, and so they drove
to quaint log place on the out
skirts Of town.
The atmosphere was coy and
pleasant, with tables in little Sc
cluded booths.
When their order came it
proved most interesting. The ham
Imperial Valley press., 1936-02-16

had been placed on an individual
aluminium pan, and over it had
been broken two eggs. These had
been fried with cover on them
and butter added for richness. In
the frying, the eggs merged into
the ham, and the whole was
served in the original pan, which
was mounted on a heavy wooden
plate. On the side were offered
English mullins, cut in half and
toasted with considerable butter.
Although Helen had never heard
of the tavern before, it seemed it
was one of the popular places in
town for this sort of food There
were many smart people in eve
ming clothes, few of whom they
knew.
A couple approached, smiling
in greeting, and stopped by the
table. Eating again, I see,"
laughed the woman in a deep
Southern voice.
Don't let her gloat over you;
she eats more than any one
know" said the man. How she
keeps her figure I'm sure 1 don't
see."
Susan introduced them to
Helen, and it seemed they were
Mrs. Luella Goodson and Harry
Lewllyn.
"Mrs. Hennesee ?" queried Mrs.
Goodson. ooh, of course, how
stupid of me-; and then, conscious
of her revealment, said charm
ingly, Really, my dear, you're
most careless with your husband,
you do seem to let him lie about
loose a lot. Is it confidence or In
difference?"
"Well, I'll tell you," smiled
Helen easily, again feeling that
the career woman was command
ing the situation. Ibid you ever
own a dog, or dogs? You see, I
happen to be very fond of the
creatures, but I would never have
one that needed to be chained. IF
my pets won't stay with me of
their own free will, don't want
then!"

Really, how interesting! You
are an unusual person"
us there anything unusual
about that?" asked Helen.

ding approval of Helen. 'You see,
so few people would be genuine
enough in their affection for that.
Most people would be more con-
cerned for their precious rugs

Others came by the table, and
soon their party was rather large.
1t seemed to Helen that she had
not enjoyed herself so much in a
long time. There was, however,
that feeling of panic when she
thought of John. She tried to tell
herself that her fears were
groundless, but the evidence re-
manned to taunt her.
A little after midnight they
started home. Helen took the
back seat of the car, allowing
Susan and John the front seat.
She had thought at first only of
being courteous to a guest, but
as they drove down the darkened
roads she was aware of being out
of things Susan had said some
thing in an undertone and John
had answered in the same man.

1t seemed to Helen that Susan
was holding Johns hand, but she
couldn't be sure. She dismissed
the idea as unworthy of her, and
struggled to reach the height of
understanding and affection, but
could not make it.
John had always possessed an
uncanny way of knowing her
feelings and now he seemed to
sense her mood. He turned and
spoke to her, asking why she had
refused Mrs. Goodson's invita-
ton.

university over a holiday, find
that all is not we'll with their
parents, Helen and John Hen
nesee. Mary is out with a COL
Iege boy one night, and her
father has taken a recipe to a
club woman "a friend of his
wife). Their Cousin Lillian
calls and chats with Roy and
his mother while the dishes
are being washed. Cousin Lii
liam has just told Helen that
John has taken the friend, ST.

remarks that the friendship of

nothing to worry about.

APPETIZERS

It's easy enough to serve chilled
tomato juice and a little plate of
deviled ham and cream cheese
appetizers in the living room.
Home folks appreciate such little
things even more than do our
guests.
Macaroni with dried beef, and
mushrooms en- casserole for the
main course. Vegetables and a
hot bread, along with cherry or
blue plum jam, as partners.
Cherry cobbler dessert. Simple,
no end, and it carries out the
scheme as many a liberal budget
would not do.
Or clam broth for the first
course, with little toast hatchets.
Make up those scraps of ham into
ham timbales, and stretch the
grocery fund a bit to include
creamed mushrooms. Tomato
slices baked on rings of canned
pineapple. Corn bread, of course.
And for dessert, that ever-so-easy
George Washington pie.
Fruit cocktail or salad is quite
an aid to carrying out any of
these Washington color schemes
we've mentioned. Chicken, baked,
fried or the typical Southern
style. Dreamed new potatoes and
peas in combination, biscuits or
some form of corn bread-spoon
bread, corn sticks and the like,
along with good homemade pre-
serve, with a Lady Baltimore
cake as a happy ending. All, here
is a meal that many a modern
George would remember for
many day!

CHAPTER 5.

ICON John saw Susan waving
= and his face lit up with
smile. Then he noticed Helen
standing with her, and his ex-
preston changed to one of cha
grin. At first he had not recog-
nized Helen in Mary's hat and
fur coat, and was caught some
what off guard. His greeting
across the room to Susan had
been one of warmth and enthu-
siasm.
Helen noticed the change, and
wished with all her heart that she
had run and left by some side
door She felt as though all the
blood was leaving her body. If
she had never had an inkling of
the affair between John and Su-
san before, she would have known
now. Somehow she felt almost as
though she had tricked John and
had peeked for a moment at his
soul unmasked.
Not in 20 years had, she seen
him smile as he had smiled across
that room at Susan. Despite her
agony and heartache and confu-
sion, she was conscious of think
ing that John really did not show
his years. He was still attractive
still youthful. Not as an older
man is youthful, but with the
spirit of youngness.
The few seconds it took John
to reach them seemed like ages
to Helen. What should she say
how greet him?
John saved her that trouble,
however, by saying as he ap-
preached them, well, well! Two
lovely women together. Wasn't
this rather sudden notion,
Helen?"
"Oh, John!" Helen apologized.
ST didn't want to come, but the
children made me-wouldn't leave
me alone"

Mrs. Goodson lifted her eye

In a moment a waiter had
added two more places for them,
and they were ordering. Helen
noticed Mrs. Goodson's lovely
black evening gown made of
satin, with a panel in the front
apparently holding the garment
together. She was beautifully
formed and wore the dress with
out anything to relieve its black
ness except two diamond clasps.
1t suited her dark skin and black
hair, and lent her an air of dis
tinction. Helen was remembering
that there was a very wealthy
Mrs. Goodson in the city and Won
dered if this could be she.

son, when they had finished or
dering. You are a most extraor-
binary person. Why haven't I
met you before ?"
Don't tell her anything" COM
manded Mr. Lewllyn. "She has
a colossal curiosity. If you ever
start letting her know you have
ideas, she will give you no peace"
Don't be absurd, Harry. am

Mrs. Hennesee before. Why don't
you come to tea tomorrow, Mrs.
Hennesee? I'm having that clever
Polish pianist. think we are all
making a fool of him, but really
his music does do things to one"
why, I'd love to come, but
you see the children are home
for the holidays and 1 couldn't
stay away. 1 mean I wouldn't
want to. 1t seems we see little
enough of them as it is"
81 can see you are not easily
lured," smiled Mrs. Goodson, look
ing straight at Helen as she put
out cigarette daintily. 81 don't
blame you; if 1 had children 1
wouldn't leave them either. How
ever, I'll count on you coming
when they have gone"
"Oh, the children will probably
be busy, Helen. Why not go?"
John urged, almost eagerly
81 couldn't really, John. I like
to be home when they come
in fresh from their adventures
around town. Then, too, we eat so
early that I'd be preparing dinner
about that time"
Again Helen sensed that strange
fury rising between her and
John. He turned to the others,
saying, YOU'D think 1 didn't al
low my wife enough money for a
cook, the way she talks, wouldn't

ing a cigarette with her charac-

looked straight through the
smoke at John. IT think you have

There seemed to be a dagger in
her words, although there was no
outward evidence of it.
"Tell me-" commanded Mr..
Lewllyn of Helen, do you know
a great deal about dogs? I have
a beauty-airdale-down with dis
temper. I stopped by the veteri-
narian's this afternoon, but he
seems not much better. Do dogs
usually pun through that or not :?
I've always been very lucky with

takes me by surprise"

said Helen, sweetly, sincerely, for
getting the others, "do take him

dogs are almost like humans. !
