MODEL LABOR
POLICY SEEN
INRA|L ACT

Because the Railway Labor Ac
provides a working model which
has proven successful since it wa
enacted II years ago, Henry H
Hermann, executive manager o.
the National Association of Credi'
Men, declares in his monthly re
view of business that the acts
principles should be thoroughly in
vestigated if and when we consider
enactment of a national labor
policy in this country.
Since 1926, when the Railway
labor Act was passed, there has
been no major strike in the rail
roads, he points out. and about zoe
serious disputes have been solved
through the mechanics of the act
In 1885 it was extended to the
air transport industry and its en-
ployes. Mr.. Heimann said:
DUTIES RECOGNIZED
"The significant point about
the Railway Labor Act is that
it recognizes the necessity of
collective bargaining by both en-
ployers and employees, and the
act declares it to be the duty
of all carriers, their officers,
agents and employees to exert
every reasonable effort to make
and maintain agreements con-
corning rates of pay, rules and
working conditions, and to settle
all disputes in order to avoid
any interruption to commerce or
to the operation of any carrier
growing out of any dispute be.
tween the carrier and the en-
plOyeS thereof
"In short, the act provides
a system of voluntary cOncilia.
ton, mediation and arbitration
through the following program:
81. 1t outlaws company unions
and insures freedom of selection
Of labOr'S representatives.
SO. It establishes the National
Mediation Board to settle dis.
putes among employees as to who
Is qualified to represent them.
MUST CONFER
%. 1t provides for a serving
of notice by the group desiring
a change. Within 30 days there
must be a conference between
the two sides to negotiate the
proposed change.
a. If this conference does not
bring about an agreement, either
side may ask the National Media
ton Board to serve in the dis
pute. The board may also prof
fer its services in the absence
of such request.
IS. If the board cannot medi-
ate an agreement, both parties
have available voluntary arbitra-
ton of their differences by sign
ing q contract to arbitrate and
to regard the resulting awards
as final and binding on both
sides for at least one year.
IS. These awards are filed
with tie District Court"

NEW YORK. April II (I.N.S.).-whtle
there was no appreciate increase in vol
ume of print goods sales. good inquiry
appeared to be shaping up for the fourth
quarter. Bids on substantial quantities
of wide print cloths for September and
forward deliveries were received. but
asking prices ran u to u cent higher
than bids, and mills generally refused to
make concessions. Seconds, meanwhile,
continued to move at slight discounts.
Inquiry for carded broadcloths and
sheetings was not large. Other coarse
gray cloths moved slowly, but prices
were generally steady.
Rayon twills and other Eayon gray
goods were difficult to buy. Although
there was not much business in fancy
cottons and fine yarn cottons, the few
lots that were available at concessions
appeared to have been exhausted.

OMAHA, Nebr., Nov. 11.-A stu
dent working his way through college
as dance band musician will realize
long-cherished hopes tonight when
the Philadelphia Symphony Orches-
ira, Leopold Stowkowski conducting,
plays Mystic Pool"
The composition was written by
John Hefti, 23-year-old student at
Omaha Municipal University who said
he plays the saxophone for a living,
the clarinet seriously and the piano
'miserably."
Hefti has spent many a night
grubbing out arrangements of popular
music for dance bands, keeping ever
in mind a dream of composing
something acceptable by a symphony
orchestra.
He left his piano arrangement for
"Mystic Pool" at Stowkowski's hotel
when the noted conductor appeared
here in the spring of 1886. A year
later came request for an orchestra
ton. He wrote one, junked it as
unsatisfactory and rewrote it.

Depression Is Over er--Lawyers Forgetting Hats!

Whether the ante-rOOm of the Waterbury superior court is being used as the graveyard for old hats, or just as . place for some per- son "to hang his hat for . while," Is a question which Messenger Joe Conner would like to have answered.
 For the past week two fedoras, one brown, the other gray, have been hanging side by side on the hooks provided in the ante-room. In spite of the hopes of the mes senger, no one has taken them away, although they are good. looking toppers and suitable for the adorment of . business mans thatch.
 A suggestion was advanced to- day that County Detective KO- land G. Alling be called into the case, and yet another said that one of the deputy sheriffs might be able to attach some clues. Re- porters were certain that the abandoned hats were symbolic of the end of depression In the legal profession, and that the perfectly good hats had been discarded by attorneys.
 Mir. ConnOr said he had no In. tentIon of entering the hat bus mess and therefore would prob. ably let them hang until some. one claimed them. The line forms on the right!

 Cupid's Efforts

Marriage is . fine institution only it costs too much to build the foundation. In . few words, that, apparently, is the opinion of the distinguished gem tleman who appeared at the office of the town clerk yesterday after noon and asked of the clerk in charge:
 'Ts there any charge for 3 mar riage license?"
 As everyone with any knowI- edge of marriage customs Is aware, the clerk replied readily: "Why yes, there is a charge of S1."
 Surprise or perhaps it was dis appointment manifested itself in the questi0ner's c0untenance, and turning away he said, "Well, I'll think it over."
 Until late hour today he had not thought fav0rably about 1t, for he did not make any further application.

|Devices for Prevention
OF Athletic Injuries

The first consideration is the
players condition . Proper condi-
ton means better coordination,
which tends to prevent injuries, as
well as the ability to withstand
strains better and resistance to
complications. A thorough medi-
cal examination is, of course, an
absolute requirement before play
ing football or basketball.
If player loses weight or tires
easily, this calls for a very special
medical examination. If a player
falls sick, he should recondition
himself gradually before he re-
turns to play starting with short
periods of mild exercise.
Protection Important
Next in Importance to training
are protective devices. The one
device which is universally recog-
nized for every player of every
sort is the athletes supporter.
Strapping with adhesive plaster
and bandaging with or without
pads Of various kinds, are innpor-
tant and effective measures.
Swapping and bandaging weak
spots, such as the knee and ankle.
before entering playing, may pre-
vent long irvalidisnn.
other protective devices, such as
sliding pads, head guards, shoulder
pads and masks vary with the
game and position played. Most
players know what their individual
play calls for, but sometimes one
win neglect to provide it. This is
particularly true of secondary
school football, on account Of the
expense of these devices. But they
nav for themselves in the long
run.
