INFIRMARY AND
HOSPITAL SURVEY

Walter Ralston, president of the
Butler County Board of Commission
ers, stated Saturday that the board
will make survey of all county
institutions preparatory to drafting
plans for improvements recommended
by the Butler County Board of Visi-
tors in a report filed Friday.
The extent of the improvements,
Ralston said, will depend upon money
available after current obligations of
the county are paid. He indicated that
it would be inadvisable to issue bonds
at this time to finance the improve
ments.
Conditions at the infirmary and the
tuberculosis hospital were severely
criticized in the report, although the
management was praised. The COM
missioners, commenting on the re-
port, stated that proper precautions
have been taken against the possibil-
ity of fire at the infirmary, and repairs
TO the tuberculosis hospital have
been delayed pending the outcome of
plans to establish new hospital

WAGNER SAYS
Government Must Set Mini
mum Work Standards

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-Speak-
ing at mass meeting called by the
National Women's Trade Union
League, Senator Wagner declared
that the federal government must set
minimum standards of work. After a
brief review of the social security
act, Wagner went on:
"The Roosevelt administration gave
the NRA to the people. But it was
not the administration that took the
NRA away, and do not see how any
one can be jubilant about the results.
The results have meant long hours,
they have meant shorter pay, they
have meant the return of the child
to the factory.
1t is inescapable, in my opinion,
that the federal government should
reassert its responsibility to set the
minimum standards of work. Perma
ment evasion of that duty is a
clear abandonment of human rights. y
Considering the attitude of the su-
preme court toward New Deal leg.
islation, Senator Wagner's speech is
taken in Washington to mean that he
at least, is ready for any kind OF
showdown necessary with the court.

HEATON IS CHOSEN
To Head Florida Labor Fed
Grafton

Orlando, Fla. (AFLS)-The thir-
ty-sixth annual convention of the
Florida State Federation of Labor
here unanimously adopted resolutions
urging the immediate removal Of E. A..
Pynchon as state WPA administrator.
1t was charged that Mr.. Pynchon
had imposed wage rate of 53 cents
per hour for skilled labor employed
on WPA jobs and refused to reduce
the hours so as to conform with the
union scale because of his claim that
such action would jeopardize the in
terests of the phosphate, turpentine
and citrus industries.
A resolution calling on the feder-
alton to take the lead in forming a
labor party in the state, introduced
by members of the Tampa Cigar Max
ers' Local Union was defeated by a
vote of 65 TO %.
Wendell G. Heaton, of West Palm
Beach, was reelected president for
the sixth time, and Walter Hoyt, of
Miami was reelected secretary-treas-
urer for the third time Other Off
GERS elected were: First vice presi-
dent, Charles Silva, of Tampa; second
vice president, w. NJ Cobb, of Pensa-
cola; third vice president, George
Houghton, of Orlando.
The convention was the largest in
the history of the organization with

INDIANAPOLIS, In d. A b ig
seven is q lucky number for Wild
, Bill Cummings but last year he tried
to make it the "hard way"
In 1884, Bill had nice big seven
on his car when he drove it to vic
tory in the 500-mile race at the In
dianapolis Motor Speedway but by
the very virtue Of his victory, he lost
his favorite numeral.
Car numbers are allotted at Indi-
annapolis according to the champion
ship rating Of the drivers, Cummings
being national champion earned and
was required to use No. /. The form
er Indianapolis bundle-boy was in d
/ blue funk. He wanted his favorite
No. but Lou Moore rated that digit
and couldn't switch it even il he
so desired.
Bill eyed the tail Of his car sadly
as the official sign painter inscribed
a two-foot No. / upon it. It was the
number everyone would have been
proud to carry but it didn't spell
luck to Cummings. Then the whistle
blew and the number artist went to
lunch. Bill seized small brush and
at the base of the figure one, very
small and family, he put 81 g."
But, as the gamblers say, he was
trying it the "hard way" and Bill
finished third in the race last year
. but second in national standing. This
year he must carry No. 2 with, per-
haps, a small "r g."

Rev. Bough is not one of the ministers who
