Action Taken On Mat
ter After Much Dis
cussiOn AT Meeting Last
Night

The IOng-debased question of
whsihsr a dance hall operating
without charging admission should
pay a Iieense or NOT, was brought
before the City Council again last
night, and after being given q
thorough airing, il was vcised to
eliminate that section of the ordin-
dance halls shall pay license.
which will in the future permit
those who do not make any
shArse to operate free.
On roll call the motion was
carried four to three, Councilmen
cobo, Hicks. Mesa and Jim Rob-
erts voting yes. and Delaney,
Freeman and F. o. Roberts vot-
ing no.
This action followed the read
ing Of communication from City
Attorney w. Curry Hairs in
which he rendered an opinion re-
lative to the operation of dance
halls. and construed the law as
saying that any place termed a
public dance hail is required to
pay a license, whether admission
Is charged or not.
Representative Bernie G. Papy
addressed the council, stating that
he could not see why dance hall
operating without charging adj
mission should be required to pay
a license, and requested that
this be eliminated from the ord
nance now existing in this re-
spect.

TAG is PLAYED
WITH SHRIMP TO
LEARN OF HABITS
tRy Assoeiated Pressl

CHARLESTON, 5. c., FEB. IS.
Three lone shrimp OF the thou
sands o. pounds that are Melted
along the coast OF South Carolina
are preserved in formaldehyde in
a little shed on Adger's wharf,
awaiting the orders of the United
States bureau of fisheries.
The three shrimp were tagged
by the bureau and released in
waters near the Virginia Capes
and along the North Carolina
coast.
John F. Mclaughlin, manager
of the Adger's wharf company, is
local agent for the bureau in
connection with its study of the
migratory habits of shrimp. He
pays fifty cents a piece for shrimp
which bear tags and twenty-five
cents Cor tags alone if the shrimp
is missing.
BY comparing the number on
the tag with the corresponding
record in its office, the bureau
learns something of the habits of
the shrimp. The bureau records
the date it liberties the shrimp
and where it was liberated, its sex
and whether or not. it was roe, as
well as it's size.
An examination of the speci-
men after its capture reveals how
fast it travelled. something of its
habitat and when and where the
eggs are laid.

Martin L. Davey tonight told Mayor
James Seccombe of Canton that the
reported seizure and detention at
union headquarters OF seven men seek
ing to return to work in Canton steel
mills was "a clear violation of the
State laws pertaining to kidnapping -
He informed the Mayor lit is your
duty to arrest the offending parties
and have them prosecuted"
The men were reported to have been
taken to union headquarters yesterday
after the breakup Of a back to work
march.
Gov. Davey advised the Mayor "any
failure on your part to take appropriate
action would make you guilty Of non
feasance in Office. Your failure yes
terday to protect some Of your own
citizens from these acts of violence
casts serious reflection on your law
enforcement program
In order that there may be no
misunderstanding of our position. let
me say that We do not propose to have
physical violence, or other forms Of
extreme lawlessness or mob rule in
Ohio" Davey said.
The Governors statement to Sec
combe was his first announcement re-
garding the steel strike situation since
receiving FRIDAY wire from Secretary
Perkins. who said it was very 1mpor-
tant that peace be maintained"

|NLABOR DISPUTES
U. S. Chamber Urges Ban
on Every Form of Coercion
in Work Relations.
BY the Associated Press,


The United States Chamber OF Com
merce demanded yesterday 4 prohibi-
ton on every form OF force and coer-
cion and intimidation In labor rela-
tions."
George H. Davis, chamber president,
outlined the organizations program
for the coming year. Already ap-
proved by the chamber board, the
program will be forwarded to 100000
members throughout the country.
The chamber" Davis asserted in
= statement, will consider suggesting
amendments to the labor relations act,
defining labor practices unlawful for
employees. employers and all others"
(At present the act outlaws only
unfair practices by employers.)
The chamber" Davis added,
stands for outlawing every form OF
force and coercion and intimidation
in labor relations. for outlawing
strikes when brought to coerce the
public or public authority. and for
public registration OF all labor organ
izatiOns and OF those who seek to form
them"
Topping the list OF chamber aims
was reduction in governmental expedi-
lures.
The chamber will persist in ask
Ing a balanced Federal budget and 4
progressive reduction OF the national
debt The president declared
1t also will study the possibility
OF gradually liquidating emergency
governmental agencies"
Relief costs appear entirely out Of
line with the progress OF business re-
covery," Davis asserted.
AS to taxation, the chamber pres
ident urged "a complete overhauling
OF the Federal tax structure" to dis
tribute the tax load more equitably.
Elimination, or at least radical
revision OF the corporate surplus tax
and the capital gains and loss pro-
visions will be advocated" he con-
tinued.
The social security act. Davis as
serted, should be revised to eliminate
provision for accumulating huge re-
serves, and should be placed on 4
