Sitting in cozY comfort, reading and
smoking, we may not always realize
how relatively inexpensive ELEC-
tricitY is...take the cost of operating
the light-for the price of single
cigarette-not package-the av-
erage home owner can light CO.
watt bulb for three hours!
TOR the price of package Of cigarettes,
= the average home owner can pay all his
i electric bill for more than day. For the
cost of taking the family to movie show, they
can use electricity for two weeks or more. The
price Of Sunday driving trip might well pay
the average household electric bill for a month
or two.
These simple comparisons refute better than
any carefully prepared technical document,
fallacious political arguments that the cost Of
electricity is a major problem. To Mr.. Average
Citizen, ELECtricitY is the least important item
in his family budget.

British Roll Unions
Demand Higher PdY

London, Eng. (AFLWNS)-The Ma
tional Union Of Railway Men, the AS
sociated Society of Locomotive En-
gineers and Firemen, and the Railway
Clerks Association started the nego-
tiating machinery with respect to
their demands for higher wages fol-
lowing the rejection Of their claims by
the four main line railway companies
in Great Britain. In due course the
demands will reach the National Rail-
way Staff Tribunal.
The National Union of Railway Men
asks minimum wage Of so shillings
for all men in the operating grades and
a holiday Of IL week days instead of
the present six.
A wage advance of one shilling a
day for drivers and fremen was in
cluded in the demand of the Associated
Society of Locomotive Engineers and
Firemen.
The Railway Clerks Association
seeks an advance Of 20 pounds a year
for SUBSTANTIAL proportion of the
clerical and supervisory grades, and a
40-hour week.

President Discusses
High Cost Of Cdrrots

Washington, ID. G. 0LNS).-Presi-
dent Roosevelt took out time at re-
cent press conference to discuss the
price of carrots at Washington mar
kets.
A woman correspondent asked
Roosevelt why carrots cost cents
apiece at grocery stores when they
were left to rot in the fields on nearby
farms.
The President replied that this
anomaly appeared to be part of our
civilization.
He recalled that when he sat in the
New York Legislature he traced the
progress of a crate of celery from a
Norfolk, Va, farmer to the New York
market. The farmer got Is cents, he
said, hardly enough to cover cost of
the crate. After passing through the
hands of six intermediate merchants,
the crate sold for 1925 in New York.
He asked the correspondent if she
believed this was necessary but drew
no response.

Cdniff Seen As
Easy Winner BY
Labor Advocates

A prediction checkup of the situa-
ton relative to the contest for State
Senator from the 2O-22nd State Sen
atorial district indicates that T. P.
RED" Caniff will poll nearly as many
votes as his three rivals combined, it
was stated by Jefferson County Trades
and Labor Assembly spokesmen.
Considering the fact that the 20
22nd district, made up Of Columbiana,
Belmont, Harrison and Jefferson coun-
ties, is largely an industrial area it is
apparent that the working classes,
whose cause Caniff has so ably cham
pioned for the past rs years, will not
pass up the opportunity to send him
to the State Senate where he can more
effectively carry on his activities.
Recipients of aid for the aged and
their families are we'll acquainted with
the manner in which Canitf aided the
passage OF the legislation and carried
on fight for. the selection of admin
istrative boards sympathetic to the
law.
Clear thinking business people who
enjoy Caniff's acquaintance know that
he has the intestinal fortitude to sup
port legislative measures intended to
benefit the masses without working
undue hardships on minorities.
Intelligent thinkers in rural dis
tricts fully realize the necessity of CO.
operation between Labor and the vari-
Gus farm agencies, and know that
their interests will be we'll cared for
by Caniff in the state senate.
Labor is leaving no stone unturned
in it's efforts to return Caniff a winner,
having made up through hard work
what it lacked in political experience
Many local unions in the 20-22nd SEN
atorial district, including miners, clay
workers, potters, building crafts and
miscellaneous crafts have not only
gone on record in support of Canif'
but have decided to vote for only one
candidate, thus insuring a maximum
of votes for Labor's favorite candi-
date, in the opinion of representatives
from the Central Labor Body.

Building Trades Unions
Halt WPA Sewer Project

Terre Haute, Ind. (AFLWNS)-
More than 500 members of the Vigo
County Building Trades Council halt
ed temporarily work on the WPA
sewer project here.
Officials of the Council said that or
ganization was not opposing WPA re-
lief projects, but objected to the WPA
entering the construction field. They
said the WPA paid the prevailing
wage rate, but the short week made a
fair weekly wage impossible.
1t was stated that the Building
Trades Council wanted the PWA to
sponsor construction work SO that it
would be done by private contractors.
Under the PWA policy it was claimed
laborers on construction projects would
earn around $25 weekly and skilled
workers from $40 to $45.

posed initiated Constitutional amend
ment," his letter concludes.
President Green's statement of op-
position to the amendment was made
at the request Of Thomas j. Donnelly,
Secretary Treasurer of the Ohio State
Federation of Labor, and is in accord
with the active cooperation Of the
State Federation with other groups in
opposing the amendment, which has
been termed a "Fascist proposal and
an European importation" by the
Federation.
Several radio addresses were deliv-
cred last week by prominent judges
and attorneys, carrying out the pro-
gram of opposition adopted at state
wide conference October 1G in Column

to the proposed amendment.
Former Chief Justice Darlington T..

Goats Used Instead

UN.SO.-R. H. Williams used
goats instead of machinery to
transform 81 acres of heavily
brushed land into good pasture
acreage. He fenced off the brush
lands in the spring and then
turned 154 goats in to Craze.
When fall rolled around, most of
the brush was gone and he re-
moved the goats in order to sow
grass seed.
williams then turned the goats
back into the field to tramp in
the seed and clear away the re
manning brush. The following
summer he had a fine, grassy pas
ture for his sheep.
