Details Platform Nomination Ali
 Landon for Pres.
(By The Associated Press)

CLEVELAND. June l2-Prior to Landon's nomination, the con vention unanimously adopted it's platform by voice vote. Distinct ly, it was a compromise.
 It called for sound money" making no mention of the gold standard; for state wage and hour legislation under the consti- tuition as it now stands.
 Balancing the budget through reducing expenditures rather than the raising of taxes was an other plank adopted. Returning of the administration of relief to the States, and stunning the world court and the league of nations, also were features of the compromise platform.
 Helping the farmer with the benefit payments, and the crush, ing of monopoly drew a large chorus of approval. which died down when John Hamilton read a telegram from Landon which said, that while accepting the platform in principle, he.Landon, reserved the right to place his own interpretation on two of the blanks. He then interpreted:
 Sound currency" to mean 6 dollar exchangeable for gold. & interpretation against which Sen ator Borah struggled vigorously.
 The message also said that Lan don wanted the party to know that he would be in favor of a constitutional amendment if 1t was necessary, to see that State maximum hours and minimum wage laws were enacted.
 The delegates were obviously surprised by this move, but there was applause just the same.
 Borah left Cleveland for Wash ington before. the formal nomin ation of Landon was made. How Borah eventually will react to Landon's message was proble- nautical, had he been equally as outspoken in his opposition No the constitutional changes as he had to the return of the gold standard.
 All three votes from Alaska were cast for Landon, White shifting at the last minute.

Union Drives in Automobile
and Steel Plants

Miami (ILNS)-Decisions looking
to increase of organization among
automobile workers were made by the
American Federation of Labor exec
utive council, in mid-winter meeting
here.
The council also voted to begin
another campaign for stronger or
ganization Of the steel industry.
The council decided to recommend
an organization drive in the auto in
dustry to widen the basis of support
among production workers. The
United Automobile Workers Union
is to limit its efforts to enrolling
production workers and permit spe-
cialized workers, other than produc-
ton units, to join their own respect
i've unions.
Other decisions made in regard to
automobile workers organization
were:
To have the A. F. of L. terminate
its provisional control over the United
Automobile Workers Union, to which
a charter was issued last August.
To call a convention not later than
April 80, when the auto union will
vote for their own officers. Francis
p. Dillon, A. F. of 1. organizer, has
been provisional president of the un-
ION on appointment Of President Will
liam Green.
To grant the international Asso-
citation of Machinists jurisdiction over
workers in what are called automobile

Senator Wagner Urges
Huge Housing Program

New York City (ILNS)-A huge
program similar to that which he said
had lifted England on the road to re-
covery was advocated before the New
York Building Congress by Sen. Rob
ert F. Wagner, of New York.
He suggested $40,000,000,000 be
spent over a 10-year period with the
object of supplying 100000 Amer
lean families with modern sanitary
homes.
Under Wagner's plan, the govern
ment would finance % per cent of the
program in low-rent housing devel-
opments while private industry, aided
by federal subsidies, would account for
the other rs per cent.

A SIDE LIGHT ON GENERAL
MOTORS

Every time General Motors boasts
of its prosperity and tells how its
stockholders profit, someone ought to
retell the story Of the Heany lamps.
When General Motors was still
young, w. G. Durant, founder of the
company, was also its president. He
bought some patents from man
named Heany. He paid Heany $112,-
759 in cash; $1,111,ooo in preferred
stock of General Motors, and $5,9O8,-
500 in common stock Of the same cor
poration.
When that transaction was made,
the Heany patents were already IN
der attack as fraudulent. A little later,
they were voided by the patent office.
Two men who helped Heany to get
his patents We're sent to prison for
fraud; though by some wierd freak
of chance or other forces, Heany him
self escaped. The patents themselves
were not worth dollar when Durant
bought them for General Motors, and
shortly afterward they were charged
off the books.
Lawrence seltzer, one of the few
real authorities on automobile history
dug into this transaction, and summed
it up in these words, written near
the end Of 1927:
"On October /, 1927, the securities
issued for the Heany companies (as
multiplied by stock dividends), had q
market value in excess of 1920, 200, 900;
by this date, more than $50,0O0,00o ir
cash dividends had been paid upor
them; and they now command annua
dividends in excess of s10,o0O,Go0
Dividends were paid and prices 81
stock went up for two years after
Mr.. Seltzer made his report 1t is
clear that before the crash in the fall
Of 1929, those faxed patents had paic
someone principally the takers, M
doubt-more than s40o,oo0,oOo.
That sum, thrown away on an utter
fake, is s5O,0Oo,0oo greater than tht
total wages paid by the motor indus
try in 1881 vehicles, bodies and part,
all taken together Gouging worker.
while gorging takers may well b,
one reason why labor fails to thrill
at the tale of the profits of Genera
Motors.

WHAT FOOLS THESE
LAWYERS BE

Research by the Welfare Council
has shown that there are in New York
city 100000 young persons, ranging
from 16 years to rs, who are willing
and anxious to work, but who cannot
get work. More than a third of them
40, ,0oo-never had a job. They
came to working age in the depression
and they are there yet.
And still the Liberty League
blathers that the shortening of hours
of labor will ruin the country!

AAA Ruling Seen Fattening
Tobacco Company's Profits

New York City (ILNs)-Liggett &
Myers, third in size of the Big Four
tobacco companies, is figuring already
on the amount that it will gain by the
supreme courts decision in the AAA
case.
Even under the handicap of the
processing taxes of the agricultural
adjustment act, Liggett & Myers
cleared $16,856,000 last year. This,
the company states, comes to about
$491 a share; and the chief sub
stance in L. & NJ. shares is just pure
water. That is true of all the Big
Four. But with the processing tax
knocked out by the strenuous elo-
quence Of Mr.. Justice Owen Roberts,
Liggett & Myers expect to clear at
least ST per share, net profit, in 1886.
1t does not appear that wages have
been raised in the cigarette plants
which are the chief gold mines of all
the Big -Four. Liggett & Myers are
not quite SO expert in wage gouging
as Reynolds; but they do very well
in that line. Their stemmers, for
exampfe( work perhaps half time
through the year; and investigation
has shown that the wages of these
workers sometimes reach a height Of
So week. The average is about two
thirds Of that sum.

Chairman Connery, of the house Ia
Dor committee, has promised prompt
action.
I'm the last few years, hundreds of
millions of dollars have been spent
for public works and relief projects,
but the unemployment situation is not
solved although public confidence is
improved" Palmisano said.
He said that his measure would
disclose how many persons were un-
employed in industry, commerce and
agriculture as a result of labor saving
devices, which, he believes, are the
principal causes of the present situ-
alton.

OIL WORKERS
Back Bill to Restrict PetrO-
leum Import

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-Oil
workers especially and labor in gen
eral are interested in a measure in
troduced in congress by Representa-
tive Wesley E. Disney, of Oklahoma.
For long time Harvey G. Frem-
ming, president of the International
Association of Oil Field, Gas Well
and Refinery Workers of America,
has worked for legislation that would
restrict the amount of petroleum. i'm
ported to this country as a product
of peon labor abroad to the detriment
of workers in American industry
When a similar measure was up for
consideration, Mr.. Fremming ap-
peared before the house ways and
means committee with full and
comprehensive statement of the case
and since that time his presentation
has become practically a handbook
for immediate reference for anyone
interested in the subject
II. S. Standards Menaced
At that time the leader of the oil
workers said:
Those living standards which have
been won by American labor only
after long years of struggle cannot be
maintained if we are forced to enter
our home markets in competition with
foreign labor earning such a small
faction of the amounts paid in wages
in this country" He further pointed
out that frequently wages of the
sweated workers producing petroleum
abroad were less than one-tenth of
the amount paid to oil workers in
America.
The bill not only has the support
of the oil workers, but the Independ-
ent Petroleum Association, represent
ing the smaller producers, is support
ing the measure with all its power.
The adoption of this bill would
mean the diversion of millions of dol
lars from the foreign to the domestic
petroleum industry, increasing the
wages received by labor without inn
posing burdens on the consumer.
