Spelling Shakespeare

The name of William Shakespeare
has been variously spelled Shake
spere, Shakespeare, Shakspere by
the different printers and publishers
of his plays; but, in his dedications
of venus and Adonis" and 'The
Rape Of Lucrece," he himself
spelled it Shakespeare. The form
Shakspere has been in use since
the publication of the First Folio
Edition of his works. Dowden, Fur
nivall, and Delius all use that form.

RUNAWAY PRICES
National Danger, McGrady
Warns Industrial Council

Washington, d. G. (ILNS)-Ed-
ward F. McGrady, assistant secretary
of labor, warned the American In
dustrial Development Council the
other day that runaway prices may
drive US into another depression.
Sunless the various branches of the
economic order move forward together
in balanced manner, we may soon
find ourselves on the verge of another
collapse" he said.
perhaps the most important factor
that will determine the extent of the
present recovery is the price level.
During the past year American in
dustry has been increasing the size
of it's pay rolls, both by giving more
employment and by giving wage rate
increases to its workers. Of course
such wage rate increases add to the
cost of producing the goods that in
dustry must sell.
"Unless the consumer is given the
advantage of the greater efficiency
that comes from the more efficient
labor staff and the savings that go
with more regular operation of plant,
we may find ourselves in a position of
constantly rising prices and eventual
ly an inevitable collapse"
Turning to another phase of the
problem, McGrady said.
Nothing is more obvious than that
in this modern age, with all its mod
fern industrial problems, we must
create a national labor policy.
"To put it bluntly the truth
of the matter is that this country
has no national labor policy.
Labor has not agreed upon one.
It's organizations for the time being
are split in fratricidal war.
Industry has no policy. Part of il
| is for collective bargaining and out
side representation. Part of it is
| playing with the Ialiacy Oh company
unions. Part Of it is living in the
past and opposed to any form of labor
solidarity whatever.
"The government has no labor pol
LEY. AS matters now stand the de
cisions of the supreme court make
the formulations of an effective ma
tional policy almost impossible.

greatest problem of our day."

BERRODIN FIGHTS
AGE PENSION CUT

Columbus, Oslo (OLNS)-R Recon-
mendation of the Inter-Org
Conference, special privilege lobby
organization, to reduce old age assist
ance funds by $5,000,000 was assailed
by Henry j. Berrodin, chief of the
division of aid for the aged, as Cow
ardly move intended to deprive Ohio's
needy aged from receiving the bare
necessities of life
Already faced with the problem of
inadequate funds to carry on the ever
increasing old age assistance pro-
gram during the current biennium,
Berrodin pointed out that taking S5,-
100000 away from the divisions funds
would necessitate an immediate blan-
ket reduction in average awards which
would bring the average grants down
from the present S24 payment to
around SIT or SIC a month per per-
son."
With 10000 applications pending
for old age assistance and the cost of
living mounting almost daily, Berro-
din said that any reductions in the
appropriations would practically rem
der the states old age system inef-
fectual.
The suggested appropriation reduc-
ton was made to the house finance
committee by a representative of the
Organization Conference

Work and Payrolls Make
Good Gain Over Last Year
155OOOO More Persons Employed in February Than In
Same Month of 1896, Department of Labor Reports.

Washington, d. G. (ILNS)-In
February, 1897, 1,550,0OO more per-
sons were employed in this country
than in February, 1886, according to
a report just issued by the depart
ment of labor.
The index of employment in Febru-
ary, 1887, was 98.9 per cent; the aver
age employment from 1928 to 1925
being taken as 100 This is the high
est point reached since 1929. But the
index takes no account of the increase
in population since 1923-25, which
probably is not less than $4,000, 600;
nor of the fact that the farm popula-
ton declined in the same time, so
that larger proportion of the peo-
pie are dependent on being employed
by others.
Even with this allowance, however,
the increase in employment is very
encouraging. The gain in payrolls is
even more so. Secretary Perkins
says:
"A particularly noteworthy feature
of the factory employment situation
is the more rapid increase in payrolls
than in employment. In February,
1888, aggregate weekly payroils in
manufacturing industries represented
only Al per cent of the average weekly
payrolls in 1923-25, while employ
ment in that month equaled 63.7 per
cent of the 1923-25 average. Since
that date increased plant operation
and employment have accelerated the
volume of weekly wage disbursements
to the point where the volume of
weekly payrolls in February, 1897, is
only 4.3 per cent less than in 1928
25, while employment is IL per cent
less than this base year average.
"The current figures show that the
weekly payrolls of the manufacturing
industries have increased by 1884 per
cent since February, 1888. The aver
