Ohio State Labor Convention Raps
WPA And Hears Vigorous Attack
On Labor Boards Policies

Cincinnati, o. (ILNS).-The fifty
fourth convention of the Ohio State
Federation of Labor, held August
to 5, at the Netherland- Plaza Hotel,
Cincinnati, was the largest in 81 years.
The only other state convention to ex-
ceed it in size was also held in Cincin-
natl. Upwards of 400 delegates and,
at conservative estimate, more than
1000 visitors attended.
Among outstanding actions of the
convention was the endorsement of
five resolutions dealing with the
Works Progress Administration. In
one of these, the WPA was charged
with Slowly but surely destroying the
contract system, because of the inva-
sion of the construction industry by
unskilled and incompetent workmen."
Legislation abolishing WPA work on
public construction was advocated.
Other resolutions favored abolition
of WPA stone quarries and elimina-
tion of cotton garment projects; both
set forth competition with union
labor. Discrimination against union
painters was charged by another
which demanded equal consideration
for them. 1t was also proposed that
boards of control be set up in all cities
to pass upon applicants for WPA
skilled jobs. The resolution urged SO
per cent membership from organized
labor on such boards
A. +. of L. Gains Told
One of the most lengthy debates
occurred with respect to enforcement
of safety and hygiene codes. Power
by safety and hygiene inspectors,
equal to that now possessed by fac
tory inspectors, to stop operations in
case of violations of requirements, was
strongly advocated.

rector of the American Federation OF

sentative of President William Green

A LABOR DAY
MESSAGE
FROM HAROLD B. BUTLER
Director of the international Labor
Office, Geneva

Office, Geneva
IN SPITE of the troubles and uncer-
i tainties of the moment, think
there is reason for viewing the future
with courage and confidence.
Although the last year has seen an
other recession, another turn in the
cycle of prosperity and depression,
everything seems to point to its be-
ing shorter and shallower than the
slump of 1929-32. Many countries
have been little affected by it, and
even in those which have felt it most
there are signs of recovery setting in.
/ am glad to think that the rela-
tions between the International Labor
Organization and the United States
have become closer every year. We
were happy to welcome the Secretary
of Labor at this years session of the
international Labor Conference and
were heartened by the news of the
ratification of five maritime conven-
tions by the United States. But the
clearest proof of the big part which
the United States is now playing In
our worldwide organization is the ap-
pointment Of an American, Mr.. JOIN
G. Winant, as the new director of the
international Labor Office. Mr.. Wi
nant will succeed me when | leave al
the end of the year. No one could ash
for a better successor, and | am glat
to think that he will take office at {
time when the prestige and standing
of the international Labor Organiza
tion were never higher.
Among the many regrets which
feel at leaving the office, none i
keener than the loss of official con
facts with American labor, at who's
hands / have received 50 much help
hospitality and friendliness. | an
hoping, however, not to lose touch wit
the United States, or with my man.

SHELTER GONE,
Performers
IN BREADLINE
Animals Stricken
By Pneumonia
By JAMES J. CULLINANE


Hunger and sickness today
added to the woes Of the stranded
Tim Mccoy Wild West Show
which was thrown into the hands
of receivers Wednesday.
AS kind-hearted citizens estab-
lished a bread line for approx
mately 200 penniless circus
troupers, the Health Department
began an investigation of reports
that sickness is spreading through
the shows 235 horses.
DEPENDENT ON CHARITY
Contributions Of food and cash
enabled the opening of a bread
line in the Baltimore and Ohio
freight yards, lexington Place
and Florida Avenue Northeast,
where the rolling stock Of the
show, second largest travelling
circus in the country, is i'm
pounded.
The Health Department rushed

quartered following reports that
several Of the animals are danger
ously Ill Of shipping fever and
pneumonia.
! SEGREGATION PLANNED
Sick animals will be segregated
If the reports are borne out by in
vestigation, the Health Depart
ment announced.
Meanwhile receivers for the cir
Gus began a painstaking inventory
Of all assets Of the circus before
starting liquidation proceedings.
No attempt will be made to sell
the shows 235 horses or equip
ment until the inventory is COM
pleted, william H. Collins, one Of
the receivers appointed by Dis
trict Court, said today.
Collins said he will attempt to
employ some Of the shows per-
formers to aid the inventory, but
said the receivers are powerless to
help the majority Of the employees
until the circus is liquidated.
BLOCK SALES" SOUGHT
The receivers will attempt to sell
the horses in large blocks If the
market is favorable, Collins said.
Meanwhile groups of cowboys,
hoStlers and other circus employees,
most Of them virtually destitute,
remain in the vicinity of Florida
Avenue and lexington Place,
where the shows cars from which
they have been barred are parked
on a railroad siding.

played the role Of "angels" for
the circus troupers when they col.
lected funds to feed the hungry
men and women.
