Reduce Hours For
Columbus Firemen

Columbus, o. (OLNS).-Columbus
fire fighters, after years of effort, last
week succeeded in obtaining a re-
duction in their work week from 81 to
72 hours as the result of an ordinance
unanimously approved by City Coun-
Icil.
Although Mayor Gessaman has re-
fused to sign the ordinance, claiming
that the city does not have finances
to carry the ordinance into effect, it
is believed that the hour reduction
will become effective without his sig
nature.
1t is significant that the first meas
ure of success in the fire fighters
drive for an ultimate 8-hour day came
only after the department was organ
lied 100 per cent under the Inter-
national Association of Fire Fighters,
affiliated with the AFL.

GIVING
LAURA GRAY

The piping of children's voices min
gled with the deeper tones of father
and mother, and an occasional chuckle
and ripple of laughter drew my atten.
tion to picinc that had assembled
under brilliant autumn tree on a
beautiful Sunday afternoon.
The father had stretched himself or
the fallen leaves, and four little ones
played beside him. The mother seem.
ed to be knitting. The picture gave
the impression of satisfying serenity
of quiet fun, and | said to myself
"Those youngsters are lucky-theil
parents are giving themselves to their
Children
The scene recalled happy days in my
own childhood that stand out as de-
lightful memories, when our father
would wander with us in the woods
show us how to make whistles from
twigs, hunt Indian pipes and initiate
birdcalls. He could relax, grow play
full, smile and be happy. l remember
and love my father best as he was in
these moods.
One incident l cannot forget. On a
trail found knife. What a treas
ure! I'd never possessed one before
Eagerly | showed him my find.
"How distresser the owner will be-!
he exclaimed. "Perhaps one of those
boys who passed dropped the knife
Well try to find them"
car see that little white knife to
this day and the owners happy face
when we did find him. | can recall
the keen disappointment at not being
able to keep the penknife and remem-
ber the clear consciousness that had
of the rightness of giving it back.
We may not be able to give as many
things as we wish to our children
university education, music lessons
and other advantages that require
money, but we can give ourselves.
Some philosophy of life that we've
proved, some appreciation of nature,
our viewpoint on current issues, a
right way to face trouble, courage for
the right, sense Of humor, all these
are precious, our pearls gained during
our years of living. And we can pass
them on if we will, merely by letting
little ones share our lives.
But these things cannot be passed
on if we always drive the children from
us. It's so easy to tell them to "run
and play; instead, the interests and
activities of the home should be
shared by all.
"My children won't come out with
me- declared one mother. "They don't
care for walks!"
Neither do mine, but there's whoop
of delight at mention of a picnic, or
camping expedition, or even hike
with definite objective. If we keep
the children near us day by day and
year by year, then that barrier that is
so often built up, separating one gen.
Grafton from another, will have neither
suitable foundation nor building stones

Hosiery Makers Fight
u. S. Financed Plants

The recent action of the Farm Sc
curity Administration in promoting
the establishment of hosiery mills on
five of its Subsistence" homestead
projects in West Virginia, Tennessee,
Alabama and North Carolina brought
a protest from the Full Fashioned
Hosiery Manufacturers of America.
Under the plan homestead associa-
tions were to make arrangements with
the DeXdale Hosiery Mills, of Lans-
dale, Pa, to operate the plants. The
associations would borrow about $3,-
100000 from Government funds at
per cent interest payable in forty
years. The Dexdale company would
invest $32O,000 in three operating
companies, while the Government loans
would so for plant and equipment and
also to match the DeXdale investments
in operating companies.
Farm Security Administration Off
cials said the annual output of the five
mills would be "only about 100000
pairs, unfinished"

President May
Appoint Locher
Prominent Trade Unionist
Has United Support Of
Organized Labor

Washington, ID. C.-The members of
organized labor in the District of CO.
lumbia are hopeful that President
Roosevelt may appoint John Locher,
well known Washington labor official
and public spirited citizen, as one of
the three Commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia to succeed Commiss-
ioner George +. Allen, who recently
resigned. Ua locaaf
Mr.. Locher is president of the Wash
ington Central Labor Union, secretary
of the Building and Construction
Trades Council, and the labor member
of the District of Columbia Unemploy-
ment Compensation Board. In addi-
tion, he has been selected as the Cen
trail Labor Unions delegate to the A.
i. of l.. convention, which opens in
Houston, Texas, October 3.
In view of the fact that the thou
sands of working men and women in
the District of Columbia have profound
interests i'm the administration of the
District government, it is their general
belief that the workers should have
a representative on the Board of Com
missiOners to administer the law.
The appointment of Mr.. Locher tc
the board has been strongly supported
by the American Federation of Labor
unions in the District In addition, the
Executive Council Of the American
Federation of Labor and the Maryland
State and ID. C.. Federation of Labor
have requested the President to ap-
point Mr. Locher.
Although in the neighborhood of one
hundred persons have been suggested
to President Roosevelt for this i'm.
portant position, it is believed that he
will recognize the justice of organized
labor's request for representation or
the Board Of Commissioners and name
Mr.. Locher to fill the vacancy.

Court Action Likely
To Kill Appointive
Judiciary Proposal
Final Certificution Of Signu-
tures Withheld Pending
Legal Decisions
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

Wy OulO l>CVS NNSJ
Columbus, O.-Proponents of an
amendment to the Ohio constitution,
which would provide for appointment
instead of election of the judiciary, last
week instituted legal action in four
counties in an endeavor to restore
thousands of signatures on their init
ative petitions which had been invali-
dated by Boards of Elections.
Apparently realizing the futility of
attempting to secure sufficient addi-
tional signatures to replace the thous-
ands thrown out by the Boards of
Elections, the Committee on Judicial
Selection of the Ohio Bar Association
has appealed to the courts they seek
to control in an endeavor to save their
"Fascist" proposal from defeat for
lack of sufficient signatures to have
the proposed amendment placed on the
November ballot.
A Toledo Judge late last week was
reserving his decision on plea of the
amendment proponents to restore
several thousand signatures, while le-
gal action or requests for official
opinions were helding up final certifca-
tion of signatures in Cuyahoga, Ham
ilton, and Franklin counties.
This delay, coupled with the fact
that should the courts rule in favor of
restoring signatures ruled out fol
technical reasons such decisions might
be appealed to the Supreme Court by
| Innnnnnnfc nf tho onnnnIrnanf 1arIC
weight to the opinion that the pro
posed amendment will die a natural
death in court.
Reason for the Committees court
and legal actions is seen in the tire,
mendous loss of signatures through
invaldation by Boards of Elections
which have made the petitions between
$4,000 and 10000 signatures short o1
the 295, ,96l necessary to place the pro
posal on the November ballot.
In addition to the signature losses
reported previously, the Franklin
county Board Of Elections last weel
certified 1875 signatures and invali
dated l5,475, a loss of over AT pei
cent.
The Hamilton county Board of Elec
tons certified 25,6O2 signatures an(
invalidated 1858 or more that 4S PEI
cent of the total filed in that county
The clerk of the Hamilton Board term
ed the petitions 'the worst" ever pre-
sented, and pointed out that two peti
tions were complete forgeries.
