little turkeys that lowered about
the nest. Still later the hen went
through a third period Of incuba-
ton but failed to hatch any chicks.
Recently it was noticed that the
hen seemed to be undergoing some
queer change.
And today it was discovered
that the rancher had a rooster
in place Of the hen. Its weight
had doubled; drum sticks de-
veloped into prodigious size and
there was a pronounced crow. The
hen had metamorphosed into a
real rooster and was strutting
around a. cock Of the walk.

will center on the biennial report to be
submitted by George E. Browne, In

During Mr.. Brownies tenure of office,

creased. AS result of Mr.. Brownies
efforts Hollywood studio workers have
obtained the frts closed shop in
Southern California.
"We shall leave theory to the cam
pus economists and the curbstone
jurists," asserted Mr.. Browne in pre-
convention statement, "and attack our
problems in practical and realistic
fashion. We of the International AL
lance Of Theatrical Stage Employees
and Moving Picture Machine Oper-
ators Of the United States and Cam
ada are an integral part Of the amuse-
ment business. We seek to obtain
steady employment at proper wage
levels for our membership and to
maintain the jurisdictional integrity
of the IATSE. To that end my adj
ministration bends every effort"
The first local of the IATSE was
organized more than so years ago and
today the membership exceeds $4,000
workers engaged in the legitimate the
atre, motion picture studios, motion

Ldundries Hit For
Paying Below Scale
Legal Notice Lists SixtY-Two
Luundries

Albany, n. Y. GLNS).-Sixty-two
laundries in three boroughs of New
York City are listed in legal notice
published in the newspapers as fail
ing to comply with the Laundry Wage
Order, which was issued under the new
Minimum Wage Law on March Z of
this year.
In publishing the names of non
complying laundries Industrial Com
missioner Andrews announced he was
acting in accordance with Section $50
of the Minimum Wage Act. This sec
ton provides as penalty for non
observance of directory wage order
publication Of the names of non-com-
pliers in one of more newspapers and
through various other channels, such
as radio announcements, club journals,
etc.
The 62 laundries owe S36 women
and male minors in their employ 49,
560.46. This sum represents the diff
ference between the legally establish
ed minimum wage rate of S14 for a
4O-hour week and the sabstandard
wages they were found to be paying
between March ID, when the Laundry
Wage Order went into effect, and the
time they were inspected.
"These laundries," COMMISSIONS,
Andrews pointed out, constitute a
chiseling minority. l am glad to say
that 1872 laundries in these same three
boroughs have been found to be pay
ing the minimum wage or more
Seventeen of these laundries came into
compliance following the private
hearing on May % at which time the
non-compliers in Bronx, Queens, ano
Richmond were required to show
cause why their names should not be
published as having failed to observe
the Laundry Wage Order.
Consumer organizations have beer
asking for lists of non-compliers fo,
some time," the Commissioner stated
"and now that they are available it is
expected that public opinion will ex.
ert compelling influence on such
laundries as continue their refusal te
pay the legally established minimum
wage"

Naturalization Of Coal
Mines Urged By Scott
Trade Union Congress

The naturalization of British coal
mines and coal by-products plants and
their operation under a Government
Department to guarantee reasonable
prices to the consumers and provide
adequately for the national defense
was urged by the 1888 Annual Scottish
Trades Union Congress recently held
in GLASGOW, Scotland. In it's decision
outlining it's recommendation on this
question the Congress said:
Having regard to the heavy burden
which is being imposed on household
ers and industry generally by the
alarming increase in the price of coal
as expressed by the difference between
the pithead price and the price paid
by the consumer, an increase which is
likely to extend still further, and
which is not justifiable in the light Of
the scandalously bad conditions Of
employment under which the miners
of this country have to work, and
which is the consequence of a chaotic
system of distribution, this Congress
definitely expresses the opinion that
the coal should become the property
of the nation.
"This Congress further reaffrms
previous decisions that as coal and its
by-products are essential commodities
in national defense, and for the de-
velopment of industries in which cheap
and adequate power is imperative, the
Government should adopt the findings
of the Sankey Commission Of 1919 by
introducing, without further delay, a
bill to nationalize coal mines and an
cillary undertakings, and to establish
a Government Department under a
Minister of Mines for the purpose of
controlling the production, distribu-
ton and development Of this national
asset"

In North and South

Miami, Fla. GLNS).-Further evil
dence that labor has an alert interest
in punitive taxes which would raise
the cost of moving living necessities
from producers to consumers is re-
ported by Chairman Walter Hoyt of
the Special Tax Survey Committee of
the Florida Federation of Labor. His
group is making nationwide survey
of the problem as it has been before
state federations.
'Tn states where these tax propo-
sails have come up recently, it ap-
pears labor's voice has been the
strongest one listed in the behalf OF
the consumer. We have now can
vassed nearly two-thirds of all the
state federations. New punitive tax
proposals are expected to come up ir
eleven states. The issde is very much
alive" said Chairman Hoyt.
Atlanta (ILNS).-Defnite steps fol
beginning study Of hidden taxes
which affect living costs will be taker
soon by the Georgia Federation OF
Labor with the appointment of 8
chairman and a committee authorized
by the state convention of the Fed

Child Labor Denounced
By Presbyterian Church

Philadelphia, PA strong resolu-
ton against child labor was adopted
ly the 150th General Assembly of the
Church of the United
States of America in session here.
"The increase in child labor in re-
cent months" the statement said,
warrants a renewed emphasis by
Christian men and women on the
principle that children must not be
robbed of their childhood's rights Of
education and moral and spiritual de-
velopment by industrial and agri-
cultural labor for hire.
Every effort should be made to Sc
cure effective Federal and State legis-
lation outlawing child labor and the
adequate enforcement of the laws"

Makes Final Plans
The final meeting of the planning
committee was held in the Labor Tenn
pie last evening.
Great interest has been evidenced
by communities, as far distant as 100
miles in the "Buy American" demon
stration, and it is expected to be the
largest demonstration ever staged in
the country in an effort to bring be-
fore the public the "Buy American"
ideal
Editor Pollock of the State Advo-
cate will speak over VIVA from
$3.50 to 6:45 in behalf of the demon
stration, it has been announced by the
committee.
Window stickers and display cards
have been printed and can be obtained
free of charge in Room 10 of the La
Dor Temple, Fifteenth and Market
streets.
The competition of foreign-made
goods has grown from insignificant
little trinkets to be picked up in the
novelty shops to a menace to the
skilled workers of the nation. The
high standards of the American living,
the organization of the workers in
unions and short working hours of the
American workmen have made the cost
Of producing American products high
er than foreign-made goods produced
under sweat-shop conditions by labor
ers who live III mere existence.
