Harrison Says Proposal

DENVER. October 15-George Har-
rison, chairman of the American Fed
Grafton of Iabors Peace Committee,
said today that the c. I. O.'s latest
peace proposal "looked like it had
possibilities.
dent, refused to comment on news
paper reports of the Committee for
Industrial Organizations proposal to
send 10 representatives to Washing
ton, D. c., the week Of October Is,
to discuss the basis of further peace
negotiations with a committee Of the
same size from the A. F. OF L.
Green said he would reserve COM
ment until he had received the
G. l. O's telegram.
Leaders meanwhile scattered to their
homes. carrying only slight hope OF an
early settlement of the strife.
The fifty-seventh annual conven-
day with action on reports of several
committees, but delegates began to
depart yesterday after William Green
unanimously had been elected to his
thirteenth term as federation presi-
dent.
Green's election came only minutes
after the convention approved without
dissent a message proposing to the C.
I. o. meeting III Atlantic City condi-
tions for peace conference" be-
tween the two groups.
With minor differences, the mes
sage. in answer to peace overture
originating with the C.. 1. o. earlier
this week, was similar to an offer the
A. F. of L. made last year.
A. F. L. Firm on Craft.
Although approving plan for 4
conference with the rebels" feder-
alton leaders made plain their de-
termination that any unification must
not be on terms dictated" by Lewis
and other c. 1. o. proponents.
The telegram sent in answer to the
c. I. O's peace offer branded the
language OF the message from Lewis
camp as designed more for propa-
ganda than expressive of real desire
for peace and unity"
We are of the further conviction
that the rank and file of the organi-
zation will want again to become in
complete association with the parent
body" the federation's reply said.
There was evidence the A. F. of L
leaders, however much they might
desire peace, still believed the basis
of union with the c. l. O. must in
clude a surrender to the federation
position.
Only few hours before, with only
handful of dissenting votes, the
convention rejected a proposed amend
ment of the A. F. OF L. constitution
which would have given the Execu-
tive Council specific authority to

Blacksmith Phillip Schonert's tools

So when Woodring reported his

been stolen from his shop. Each time,
the tools were used to knock the

Relief For The
Itching of Eczema

It's wonderful the way soothing
cooling zemo usually brings relief
to itching, burning skin. Often in
severe cases itching is relieved
when Zemo touches tender and
irritated skin. To comfort the itch.
ing Of Simple Rashes, Ringworm,
Eczema and Pimples, always use

babies who leave the nest almost AZ
soon as they are Matched, like those
OF Mrs. Longbill the Woodcock and
Mrs. Grouse. You see, they can run
about, and this means that they can
run right into danger without knowing
that they are doing SO. They can run
into danger, but they can't run out
OF 1t. So this is very. very anxious
time for their mothers.
With four lively youngsters to keep
a watchful eye on while at the same
time she hunted for food for them
and for herself, Mrs. Longbill felt
that she had just about all that one
mother could attend to. She was
thankful that her family was not
larger.
1T I had as many children to
watch over as Mrs. Grouse often
has, and as Mrs. Bob White has. 1
would go crazy. I simply couldn't
stand it. Why, have known each of
them to have three times as many
children as we have, and more Mrs.
Longbill had said to Longbill as they
looked fondly at their four lively chill
dren.
1T will be easier when they can
fly if only for a short distance" said
Longbill
1T certainly will" agreed Mrs.
Longbill 1T will be much easier.
There are dangers that the darlings
can't run out of, but could fly out
Of, if they could fly at all"
SO you may be sure that mother
kept a sharp watch on the tiny wings
of the four chicks. 1t was astonishing
how fast the feathers grew on those
little wings. Each day new ones ap-
peared and the others were longer
Presently they began to use their
wings some, to aid them when they
wanted to run faster, but not one
OF the four had really tried to fly
They were quite satisfied to run about.
Then one day as they were run
ming about, hunting for food near
the Laughing Brook, slight move
ment not far away caught the watch
full eye of Mrs. Longbill. There it
was again, and this time she saw
small, long, slim person in brown
coat and white waistcoat darting
this way and that. 1t was an enemy
she dreaded 1t was Shadow the
Weasel. Mrs. Longbill's heart sank
when she saw him, for at the same
time she saw what he was. about
Evening star., 1937-04-21

Only few minutes before she and
her children had been right where
he now was. and he had discovered
the fact. His nose had told him, and
now he was using that same clever
little nose to find out where they
had gone.
Shadow stopped running and sat
up, much as you have seen one Of
the Squirrel family sit up. He sat
up, that he might lock all around
better. Almost at once he saw those
chicks running about There was a
fierce hungry look in his eyes as he
bounded forward 1t was too late
for the hide signal Mrs. Longbill
knew that. There was no place the
chicks could hide where he could not
and would not find them. The time
had come to test those little wings.
With a cry Of alarm, Mrs. Long
bill took to her wings. That alarm
note and the suddenness of her
fight frightened the four chicks, so
that, without realizing what they were
doing, they took to their wings to
follow her. and before they really
understood what they were doing
they were across the Laughing Brook.
They had made their first flight.
Those little wings had been tested
and had saved their lives. From now
on their chances of living to grow
up would be better every day.

With the Japanese cherry trees

pageant here in the crab apple trees

gave up in disgust and left to hunt
somewhere else, Mrs. Longbill, first
making sure that no other enemy was
near. gave signal and out popped
the four chicks and ran to her. Then
she proudly led them away in the
opposite direction from the one taken
by Mr.. BlaCksnake.
Each day was filled with just such
worries for Mrs. Longbill. She saw
no more Of Mr. Blacksnake, but, of
course, there was always the chance
that he might suddenly appear.
There were other enemies to watch
for plenty of them. Baby birds of
