CHANGES FAVORED
Labor Committee Recon-
mends Reorganization
(By Ohio Labor News Service)


Columbus, O-Important changes
in the Ohio old age pension law con-
tanned in House Bill No. 449, intro
duced by Representative w. IL.
Whetro, Ironton, were recommended
for adoption following consideration
by the house committee on labor last
week
The bill provides for the reorgani-
cation of the division of aid for the
aged by placing subdivision or county
boards under the direct jurisdiction
of the state with employees serving
under civil service regulations.
Annual re-application for old age
pensions is also abolished by the pro-
visions of the bill, which has the sup
,port of Henry Berrodin, chief of the
division.
The bill specifies that no educational
requirements shall be set up as a
condition to taking civil service exam
| nations for positions in the division
except where statute requires training
of professional or technical ma
/ lture.
| An emergency clause is attached
to the bill urging immediate enact
ment into law of the proposed meas
ure due to the fact that approximately
$4,000 new applications and approx
mately 5000 renewal applications are
awaiting action of present county
boards throughout the state
The committee also approved Sen.
ate Bill No. 81 which provides a pen
atty for failure Of public officials anc
contractors to ascertain and include
the prevailing rate of wage as part
of specifications for public works prof
lects.
Thomas j. Donnelly, legislative
Iagent and secretary treasurer of the
IOhio State Federation of Labor, spoke
flor the bill, which was introduced If
the senate by Senator William Zoul

that body.

PRESIDENTS
VOCATIONAL
Education Committee Asks
Public's Viewpoint
sv A. F. Of L. News Service.


Washington, D. C.-Floyd w. Rec
yes. chairman of the presidents COM
mittee on vocational education, an
nounced that the committee would well
come information and statements of
opinion from all groups and indlvld-
uals interested in vocational educa-
ton.
The committee was appointed by
Preident Roosevelt to study the ex-
perience under the existing program
of federal aid or vocational education,
the relation of such training to gen
eral education and to prevailing eco
nomic and social conditions, and the
extent of the need for an expanded
program.
The committee consists of twenty
members. Labor is represented on the
committee by John P. Frey, president
of the metal trades department of the
American Federation of Labor; Eliz-
abeth Christman, of the international
Glove Workers Union Of America
and Thomas Kennedy, secretary
treasurer of the United Mine Workers
Of America.
The occasion for the appointment Of
the committee arose from the fact
that substantial increase in the
appropriation was authorized by the
George-Deen act of June s, 1886
Appropriation under the George
Deen act are now being considered
and will become available July /
1897, if provided by the congress.
In order to guard against past mis-
takes in the administration of voca-
tional education, congress included the
| following stipulation in the new law
''No part of the appropriation here
in authorized shall be expended in in
dustrial plant training programs, ex.
lcept such Industrial plant training be
bona fide vocational training, and moi
a device to utilize the services of vo
cational trainees for private profit"
Mr.. Reeves stated that in the course
of its studies, the committee has be
come aware that there is much dif
ference of opinion, even in well
Informed quarters, as to the problem
iof vocational education.
The committee is therefore inter
ested in securing written statement
I of their views from representative
individuals and organizations.
Such statements will be of materia
assistance to the committee. The
should be addressed to the president

how to run them, how to establish and

they were ordered, by constituted au-

There is no freedom unless there
are laws and obedience to law.
Breaking of laws-made by the
state or by the union-throws freedom
aside and menaces every other per-

just beginning.

Results of Rail Fare Cuts
Are Declared UnfuuOrablf

Eastern passenger mileage was i'm
proving very nicely before the fare cut.
In the first five months of 1896, it was
l09 per cent ahead of 1885. But the
Western and Southern roads, which
already had lowered fares to 2 cent
or less average, were recording 1873
per cent gains over 1885. Then came
the all-inportant June. Passenger
miles in the East bounced up in the
last seven months to 27.4 per cent
gain over 1895. The West and South
could not match that showing. Their
gain was only 23.4 per cent, or 4.6
percentage points, as against the East's
jump of 16.5 percentage points.
But there is wide gulf between
the mileage increase and the revenue
incraese. The East with 274 per
cent gain in passenger mileage, was
able to record only 1874 per cent gain
in revenues during the last seven
months of 1896. What is more, the
actual revenue derived from the in
creased number Of passengers carried
hardly appears to have been out Of
line with probable revenues II there

WHEAT B0LSTERED
BY CROP REPORTS
IN QUIET TRADING
Moisture Deficiency Over
Winter Belt Becomes
More Serious. {.
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,

noopSldtcu EIeSS MdTReL writer.
CHICAGO, May 1.-The flow of un-
favorable crop reports from the heart
OF the Winter wheat belt was enough
to lift wheat prices about a cent
bushel today in a comparatively quiet
trade.
Moisture deficiency in important
Wheat-groWlng areas, particularly in
Kansas and Oklahoma, is becoming
more serious, according to variety of
crop advances. One private message
said rain is needed badly over the
Western two-thirds of Kansas and
must come soon if large crop is made
possible. 1t said estimates indicated
reduction of 20 per cent in the crop
in some sections since April /.
One Chicago statistician lowered
his prediction of Winter wheat pro-
duction 100000 bushels, compared
with month ago figures to 670,440, 900
bushels. The official estimate on
April was 656 100000 bushels. Other
private crop estimates will be released
Tuesday.
Wheat closed 1s-7s higher than

ana lard gained 5 to l3 cents.
Wheat dipped fractions when the
market opened, but selling pressure
soon eased and the market rallied
about p cents from early lows. From
there on prices fluctuated nervously,
moving up again just before the close.
Liverpool wheat closed 1ls to cents
higher, or about as due, and this
served to influence some buyers here.
Absence of moisture in the Canadian
West and fair strength at outside mar
kets, coupled with some short cover
ings here, kept the market above the
previous close.
The corn market was under pressure
throughout the session and May corn
led decline that reached a maximum
Of about 2 cents bushel at the close.
Selling was associated with antici-
pated arrival over the week end of

Reaction on London Markets
Is Worst in Several Years

down Of equities by dealers started a
selling movement which daily gained
momentum, and was checked Only
slightly by Chancellor Chamberlain
assurances that any injustices in the
new tax would be removed.
The slide in prices was accelerated
by difficulties Of other bourses, heavy
selling in leading international centers
increasing London's discontinue.
During the past week the defensive
attitude adopted by the dealers In their
method of quoting a wide margin IN
buying and selling prices prevented a
slump of larger proportions, but next
weeks settlement is awaited with some
anxiety.
1t is understood that majority OF
the vulnerable positions are now safe
guarded and 1t is rumored that the
leading kafi1r finance houses are pre-
pared to support kafirs to the extent
of 100000. The extreme weakness
revealed by the past weeks events
means, however, that several weeks
must elapse before business returns to
normal.
