RivervieW Florists
Looking for Games
Strong Locdl Club Under
Guy Digmun Ready
For Any Team

The Riverview Florists, under the
guidance of Manager Guy Digman,
again looks strong this year. The
team lost in the play off to the classy
Newell club for the championship of
the Columbiana County Amateur
league. Digman promises to have
them in the finals again this year.
The team is coming along nicely
with one game in the won and one in
the lost column. Shortstop Steel, Vo-
cial at first, Sacks on third, pitcher
Mayhem and Carter behind the bat
look exceptionally good this season.
Digman likes to brag of his two
youngsters, Foster and Burns, who he
brought up from the junior loop this
year. Both are Is years old, outfield-
ers, and hitting the apple hard.
The club has number of open dates
and would like very much to test their
strength against the top flight teams
in the district and throughout West
Virginia. Out of town games or home
and home series are preferred.

Birth Of BdbY' To
Show at Ceramic
Critics and Doctors All Give
High Approval To
Film

"Birth of a Baby" lauded by Life
magazine, theater critics and medical
authorities all over the country as one
of the truest and most artistic of the
documentary films, will be shown at
the Ceramic theater for a week be-
ginning Sunday, June 5, it was an
nounced today.
The film was prepared by the
American Committee on Maternal
Welfare. It's first premise is that all
expectant mothers should put them
selves in the hands of a qualified
physician as soon as they realize they
are to bear a child.
Along with this it gives simple,
clear and honest picture of one of the
most important functions of mankind.
Reviewers have stated that this is
done quickly and clearly, with nothing
to offend the taste.
The purpose of the film, as stated
by the sponsors, is to reduce the
illness and mortality among American
mothers and their babies. In 1886
10000 mothers, or three in every 500
died in childbirth. The rate is higher
than in almost any other civilized
country.
Modern science has proved that il
can cut the rate by at least rs pei
cent, but at every turn it is hindereC
by public Indifference and taboos. II
is the hope of the endorsers that the
film will give prospective fathers ano
mothers the knowledge of motherhood
which they need.
w. Ward Marsh of the Cleveland
Plain Dealer said, "The screen ha:
never been so courageous and sin
cere before, nor is there any othe1
subject in this world today which
merits such frank and honest dis
cussion. This is the kind of pictur,
doctors and educators have beer
waiting for since the screen began"

A. F. L. Asks Action
On Wage Bill Vote
The House Members Should
Sign Petition Dislodging
Norton Measure

Washington, D. C.-Shortly after
the Rules Committee of the House
of Representatives by vote Of eight
to six refused to report special rule
enabling the House to consider the
minimum wage and maximum hours
bill, a steering committee consisting
of congressman headed by Representa-
tive Healey of Massachusetts was
formed to mobilize the necessary 218
members of the House to sign a petit
ton discharging the Rules Committee
from further consideration of the bill
and placing it directly before the
House for discussion, amendment, re-
committal, passage, or defeat, accord
ing to the views of the majority of
the House membership.
Following a conference with the
steering committee, William Green,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, sent the following telegram
to each member of the House:
81 appeal to you as l am appeal
ing to all members of Congress to
sign petition to bring about with
drawal Of Wages and Hours Bill from
further consideration by the Rules
Committee.
Petition Is Necessary
"This action is necessary if wages
and hours legislation is to be enacted
at this session of Congress. | urge
each member of Congress to sign this
petition at the first opportunity ac-
corded on the first day the petition is
presented for signature. Such action
would have profound effort through
out the entire country.
81 urge the action herein requested
in the name and in behalf of the
American Federation of Labor"
Mr.. Green's telegram, concurred in
by the Executive Council of the
American Federation of Labor in
session here, supplemented the COM
munication of President Roosevelt to
Chairman Mary Norton of the House
Labor Committee expressing the
"hope that the House as whole can
vote on wage and hour bill' either
by reconsideration of the vote of
the Rules Committee by the commit
tee itself 'or by the petition route"
The Rules Committee remained ada
mant in it's determination to block
vote on the bill by the House of Rep
resentatives. Therefore, the petition
signed by 21S members was the only
solution to the intransigent hostility
of the Rules Committee to the meas
ure which provides for a universal,
nationwide minimum rate of pay of
25 cents per hour for workers in in
dustries subject to the act with a pro-
vision that the minimum rate shall be
increased to 40 cents within period
of three years, and ceiling for hours
which provides for Al hours per week
with provision that it shall be re-
duced to 40 hours within a period of
two years.

Welch of California, in one Of the

II cannot understand the reasoning
that this measure is sectional and a

timated that between the Potomac
and Hudson Rivers, there are at the
present time over $4,000 workers,
nearly all women, receiving as little
as SIS and So a week and working 8

the enactment of the Walsh-Healey
law, Connecticut firm was awarded
by the navy large contract for caps.
The women employed in this factory
received the munifcent sum of $4 a
week."

Columbus, O.-Action of Ohio Com

convention May Is to support can
didates endorsed by the CIO dominated
Non-Partisan League, has been ac-
cepted by Ohio American Federation
Of Labor leaders as conclusive proof
of the close cooperation existing be-

Consensus of opinion Of the state
AFL leaders was to the effect that
the action of the Communists would
unquestionably add to the deteriora-
ton of the Non-Partisan Leagues
ambitions to dominate the political
picture in Ohio and the Nation.
Although planning to enter slate
of candidates for state offices in the
fall election, the 22S delegates to the
Akron convention, said to represent
$500 Communists from every, major
industrial section of Ohio, voted to
step aside in any contest in which a
: candidate endorsed by the Non
: Partisan League was a contender.
-rSpokesmen for the Communists said
that this course of action was designed
to "bring the utmost of unity Of prog
ressive forces" The convention went
on record as opposed to the candidacy

"Now today you have chosen to
place fitting monument to the mem
ory of the man who worked tirelessly
sometimes by your side-sometimes
far into the night when you were
asleep. You placed the responsibility
of designing lasting work of art in
the hands of a young artist, himself
the son of a potter. You have heard
much of the honors which have re-
Gently been heaped upon this young
artist and you will hear more to come
as the years go by-but, | frankly
feel that he will always be proud of
this work which he made for you.
Viktor Schreckengost considered care
fully his task and then came his in
spiration--a Potter's Cone.
"All of you know what a potter's
cone means to the master potter. 1t
is an exact record of the degrees of
heat to which the ware has been sub
jected. Placed beside piece of ware
to accompany it through the kilns, the
potter's cone tells the story in it's
minutest detail. What could more
clearly represent the life of +. A. Sc
bring than potter's cone, standing
straight and firm after passing
through all the years of stress and
fire? A simple and lasting tribute
a miniature Washington Monument, if
you please---to tell the story of this
mans life. A moment which will out
last us who gather here today; may
hap it will outlast the factory walls
on which it is placed, but in years to
come it will serve as an inspiration
to all who pass that door; the symbol
of a man who stood straight and erect
through all the perils of lifetime
of struggle"
