RESTAURANT LAW
SUPPORTED BY UNION
Is Approved by U. S. SUI
preme Court

Washington, d. G. (ILNS)-The
Y. 5. Supreme Court has approved the
new Colorado restaurant law, designed
to end the unfair competition of drug
stores with restaurants. Briefly, the
Colorado restaurant law requires res
taurants to get state license and for
bids the sale in any room of anything
more than meals, foods, drinks and
tobaccos.' Exceptions are made in IA
vor of railroad dining cars and of
hotels.
The Hotel and Restaurant En-
ployes International Alliance and
Bartenders' International League of
America strongly supported the law
and are naturally pleased at the out
come.
S. H. Kress & Co, F. w. Wool
worth & Co. and j. j. Newberry &
Co., operators of restaurants and food
counters employing low-wage labor,
joined in bringing suit, asking the
federal district court for Colorado to
declare the law unconstitutional. That
court refused, and the same parties
appealed to the supreme court.
These parties, the plaintiffs, filed
45-page brief with the supreme
court. The state, as defendant, filed
a three paragraph motion, thus:
That this case be dismissed for
that the questions on which the de-
cision of the case depends are so un-
substantial as not to need further ar
gument.
"That the judgment of the trial
court be affirmed for that it is
manifest that the appeal herein was
taken for delay only.
And in support of these their mo-
tions, appellees respectfully refer to
the opinion of the supreme court of
the State of Colorado COZ Colo. 587)
and the opinion of the three-judge
court, both rendered in and forming
a part of these proceedings"
The supreme court was even
briefer. 1t said:
THE motion of the appellees to
affirm the decree is granted"

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Gov-
ernors and representatives from 80
states, meeting in the third confer
ence on labor legislation held in Wash
ington during this Administrations
received a greeting message from
President Roosevelt which all agree is
meant to charter the administrations
course in labor matters for the next
four years. The president said, in
part:
"The sessions of the National Con-
ference on Labor Legislation in 1884
and 1885 formulated programs for
the leveling upwards of labor stand
hearted sympathy and approval and
that of my administration.
See Mandate Given
Furthermore, | believe the coun-
try has this last week given man
date in unmistakable terms to its
legislators and executives to proceed
along these lines until working peo-
pie throughout the nation and in
every state are assured decent work
ing conditions, including safe and
healthful places of work, adequate
care and support when incapacitated
by reason of accidents, industrial dis
ease, unemployment, or old age; rea-
sonably short working hours, adequate
annual incomes, proper housing, and
elimination of child labor.
i hope that your conference will
give serious consideration as to how
the objectives may be achieved and
that when you return to your states
you will assume the leadership in
your communities for putting the
necessary legislation on the statute
books"
Substantial Gains Reported
In welcoming the gathering, Secre-
tary of Labor Perkins said that since
these conferences began three years
ago, substantial progress is being
made in the labor legislation of many
states in the interests of millions OF
wage earners.

GULF OIL CO.
Seeks to Dodge Taxes BY
Big Stock Dividend

Pittsburgh (ILNS)- The Mellon
family has decided that it can save
taxes by issuing a 100 per cent stock
dividend on the Gulf Oil Corporation
The reasoning in this case is peculiar
A corporation is allowed certain re-
turn on its capital investment before
the penalty clause of the tax on COR
porate surpluses applies. By doubling
the amount of stock outstanding, the
MELONS seem to figure that they can
double surplus exemption-although
not a dollar of new investment is even
contemplated.
Favors from the United States
treasury, however, are no new thing to
the Gulf Oil Corporation. While one
of it's chief stockholders, Andrew w.
Mellon was secretary of the treasury,
the Gulf Oil Corporation was allowed
to make extravagant allowances for
depletion. Senator Couzens, of Mich
igan, succeeded in getting partial
investigation Of this matter, and the
report Of the senate Investigating
committee Of which Couzens was
chairman, is in part as follows:
THE Gulf Oil Corporation re-
ceived exorbitant allowances, which
cannot be justified upon any basis.
The oil industry generally has receiv-
ed excessive allowances for depletion;
but the allowances to the Guf Oil
Corporation, in the high tax years,
are so excessive as to constitute a
gross discrimination against even the
oil industry
It remains to be seen whether the
treasury, under present management,
will allow taxes to be evaded by such
hocus pocus as to stock dividend.

Tampa, Fla. (ILNS)- "Unprece-
dented organizing and educational
activity" in the coming year, to keep
progress for workers abreast of ma
tional progress, is urged by the ex-
ecutive council of the American Fed
GRAFTON in it's annual report to the
executive council of the American
Federation in its annual report to the
56th annual convention, which opened
here November 16.
The council reports that since the
last convention, an aggressive general
organizing campaign has been carried
on, with good results. In addition to
organizing efforts of national and in
ternational unions, the report says
that the A. F. of L. has conducted
an organizing drive among cement
workers, aluminium workers, gasoline
station attendants, chemical workers,
distillery workers, agricultural work
ers, match workers, cereal and flour
mill workers and employees of other
trades and industries.
Detailed information on the cam
paign in the various industries is
given, and provisions of union agree
ments negotiated with employers are
summarized.
mo Field Neglected
Where there was the slightest in
clination on the part of the workers
to become organized, no field was neg
lected or escaped the attention OF
action of the American Federation of
Labor" the report declares.
During the fiscal year, 1935-1936,
! the report shows, charters were issued
to 1775 local trade unions and al fed
eral labor unions, total of 216 direct
ly affiliated local unions chartered
during the period.
"On August 81, 1885," the report
adds, 1--WE had 914 local trade and
federal labor unions, with an average
membership for the fiscal year OF
83,153."
Announcement is made of the issu-
ance Of charters to three international
unions, as follows: Brotherhood OF
Sleeping Car Porters, American News
paper Guild and American Federation
of State, County and Municipal En-
ployes.
Union Benefits Maintained
The council reports maintenance
of trade unions benefits despite eco
nomic distress constantly faced by or
ganized labor in the last year. Detailed
reports are given showing that $780,
108, 8,606.16 was paid by national and
international unions to their members
in out-of-work, disability, pension,
death and sick benefits.
Total amount of trade union
benefits distributed remained
virtually unchanged. The council
