Senate Backers ofWage and Hour
Bill Vigorously Support Measure
Telling Points in Favor of Proposal Made By Black, of
Alabama Who Cites Pay and Hour Figures From
South to Show Need of Federal Legislation to Protect
Workers From Exploitation

Washington, D. G. (ILNs)-The
senate debate on the wage and hour
bill has been fast and furious; with
the champions Of the bin having all
the best Of it. Vandenberg, Of Michi-
gan, denounced the bill as setting up
'tyrannical bureaucracy and de-
clared that he was going to offer his
proposed amendments to the Wagner
act as rider to the wage and hour
bill. His objections were answered
thoroughly by both Wagner and Black,
and they persuaded him to wait &c
have his proposed amendments come
up in the proper way.
Nye, Of North Dakota, attacked
the bill, which was decided sun
prise to those who have followed his
strongly liberal career. He was am
swered by Schwellenbach, Of Wa h
ington, in a speech, part Of which il
quoted in an adjoining column As 1
contributed editorial.
A feature of the debate was the
opposition of several conservative
Southern democrats to the measure.

Dayton. Delegates to the largest
convention Of the Ohio State Fedora
tion Of Labor in years returned to
their homes last Friday at the end
Of five eventful days, marked by de-
cisive actions and inspiring addresses
by state and national labor leaders
and public officials.
Final action of the convention was
the election Of Arnold Bill, Cleveland,
to the executive board of the Ohio
State Federation of Labor as its sew
enth vice president, replacing G. W.
Savage, who was automatically drop
ped from. membership in the fedora
tion with the ousting of his union,
a local of the United Mine Workers
Of America in the recent purge Of
Go unions.
Vice President Bill served as presi-
dent of the Ohio State Federation of
Labor in 1926 and 1927. He is also
secretary-treasurer of the Ohio State
Council of Carpenters. Unopposed for
the office when other candidates and
nominees withdrew or declined, Vice
President Bill was elected by accla-
nation.
Cincinnati was selected as the site
Of the 54th convention of the Ohio
State Federation of Labor, to meet
on date in 1888 to be selected later
by the executive board.
Lima's bid for the convention was
withdrawn when an early preference
for Cincinnati was indicated in the
roll call vote. President Jack Hurst,

REACTIONARIES
Aim to Hamstring Research
Work

Washington, d. G. (ILNS)-The
evil that old guard politicians do lives
after them. Reed Smoot long time
senator from Utah, job-naster and
federal commission packer for the IN
terests in the gladstone days of Har-
ding and Coolidge, repudiated, dis
credited and displaced though he be,
still wields his reactionary influence
through the budget bureau.
The budget bureau has eliminated
from appropriations for the present
fiscal year all provision for the eco
nomic research department Of the
federal trade commission.
Unless more funds can be had, the
economic research division can not
be maintained as an organized unit,
ready to serve as shock troops in any
war that the New Deal may have to
wage in the never ending fight
against privilege and extortion.
A few facts will help the reader un-
derstand just how important this
trick IS. The federal trade COM
mission was created largely to keep
watch on big business, and stop its
dirty work To do this. the ETC had
to develop an economic staff which has
become without doubt the worlds
foremost investigator of trusts, mon
opolies and secret agreements.
Record Of Achievement
Tie mere roll call Of the achieve
ments Of the federal trade com
mission n that line all done through
the work Of the economic staff shows
the tremendous Importance of that
staff. The first big probe conducted
by the FTC was the packers and
stockyards investigation. In spite Of
the fact that ETC agents were sha-
dowed and followed by privte detec-
tives in the employ of the packers, in
spite of all the influence which the
packers could bring to bear in Wash
ington, the facts which the ETC un-
earthed enabled the department of
justice to get decree which forbade
some Of the worst Of the packer prac-
tices.

"THE PLAINSMAN" BACK
FOR WEEK AT COL LUMBlA
De Miles History of "Wild Bill'
Hickock's Life Is Vivid
Frontier Story,

THE boys out in Hollywood have
been turning out Westerns for
years, designed for use on the lesser
halves of certain double bills and in
the neighborhoods on Saturday after
moons. but it remained for Cecil B.
De Mile to take the excitement Of
the Vests frontier days and con-
struct a motion picture of much more
than average merit. The motion pic
ture is The Plainsman." and evi-
dence Of its more than average merit
is the fact it has now opened at the
Columbia to extend to three weeks the
F street run which started with two
weeks at the Palace.
The Plainsman" has all the ex-
element, thrills and melodrama of
the time-honored Westerns, but it has
a lot more besides. 1t differs, of course,
in the fact there are no battles to the
death on the very rims of rocky crags
and when the United States Cavalry
finally arrives on the scene in the last
reel it is too late The principal man
ner wherein The Plainsman" stands
miles ahead Of any Of the ordinary
films using the same background is its
story. THE Plainsman" has theme in
addition to plot and that's what makes
photoplays stand out. It's vivid
history Of the battle to push westward
the country's frontiers and Of wild
Bill" Hickock's own particular battles
to make the plains safe for the white
man, and not just an exciting melo-
drama of Indian battles. 1t has a

1t seems a good many Of the agents

ducer always does, casts it with some
new people playing the reporter and
the heiress, and goes to town. The
latest trip to town is called Love Is

Boy G-Men
In New Film
At the MET"
Harrington Heroes in
"Penrod And
Sam"
BY HARRY MACARTHUR.

r T rs very sad to be forced to report
it, but a life of crime just isn't
safe any more. If the established
Il armed forces of the law do not
catch up with you in the course of
their duties. the junior G-men will
ferret you out and bring an end to
your career. You can see this for
yourself this week at the Metropolitan,
where "Penrod and Sam" the feature
film. brings to light the adventures of
Booth Tarkington's heroes, Penrod
and Sam, and the notable success of
their organization of junior G-men.
This is not the story of Mr.. Tar
kingdoms book by the same name, to
be sure. because when Mr.. Harrington
wrote the book the G-men, who have
since been glorified, probably were his
best customers. 1t is, though. pleas
ant enough yarn perhaps, with which
to entertain adolescentS who wish to
learn from the actions of movie
youngsters the correct manners of
behavior, such as not fighting unless
there's cause for fighting. like some
body throwing horse chestnuts at
somebody else.
The tale starts of sort of lackadai-
sically, but it picks up interest when
the village bank is robbed and people
get shot. And it has plenty of excite
ment for kids of the Penrod and Sam
age. what with the trio of bandits
picking the barn where Penrod and
his junior G-men make their head
quarters as their hideout, then captur-
ing three Of the lads and deciding
to use them as shields when the law
arrives. It probably will be all right,
too, for the citizens who have to take
the youngsters to see 1t, but 1t GER
tainly will bore the pants right OF of
anybody else. 1t does seem that the
Harrington book would have made
better motion picture.

Mauch as Penrod and Spring Bying-
ton and Frank Craven as Penrods

ably will enjoy success as q film pro-
portionate to its popularity as a novel.
Its philosophy is delivered with punch.
THE wistfulness which hangs over
the screen feature apparently
pervades the stage show as well. The
single interruption is the opening act,
variety dance number in which four
men and three women hur them
selves and one another about the stage
in mood of complete, but never fatal,
recklesspess.
With the perversity Of all dog
fanciers, this spectator sat throwing
imaginary orchids at the second act,
which probably was not worth it.
That's swell dog, though, much
better than any other dog because it
turns to rubber right before your eyes
It can be twisted into the shape Of
pretzel, Franch horn, or even a
burlesque chorus girl. It not only can
be, but is.
The headline attraction is that which
parades five of the country's song hit
writer's across the stage, four of them
behind pianos, the other behind mi
crophone. All five run through quite
a few excerpts from the better-known
compositions. Among them you will
hear Boots and Saddles" "Is 1t True
What They Say About Dixie?" and
many others which evoked memories
and produced applause. The act is in
teresting even If 1t does tend to prove
that the men who write the Nations
songs are not so hot at singing them.
Roscoe Ates, Hollywood comic, in
jects the humorous note in the stage
program. He made the audience
chuckle.
The Technicolor short, Under
Southern Skies" one of the series
which produced the spectacular sue
cess, Give Me Liberty" is not up to
the standard of its predecessor. 1t is,
however, an interesting thing, and
quite capable of contributing to the
uplift of the short subject.
