d. S. S. Sale, Program Enjoyed.

The Danish Sisterhood society's
annual sale and entertainment at the
D. B. S. hall Friday evening drew
a capacity attendance who by their
abundant applause showed their APP
probation of the fine entertainment
which was rendered before the sale.
The program was begun with
one-act Danish play, Madagascar"
which was ably presented by the
Misses Solveig Utoft and Ruth Han
sen, Carl Dixen, Carl Larsen, Arol
Hansen and Harold Jensen, under the
leadership of Mrs. Svend Petersen.
The other two numbers on the
program were a reading by Owe Her
mansen and selections by the male
chorus which also pleased the audi
ence very much.
The sale of aprons, etc, was not
as good as in former years and the
auction which followed was also
slow. The goose was awarded to John
Bell from Morgan, the linen table
cloth to Miss Ruth Hansen and the

music.
AS usual, the committee in charge
will be able to present neat and
profitable report to the society, for
which they wish to express thanks to
everyone who helped them make it
possible.

Lawyers Grab Half
Continued From Page One)

Shackelford in hearing before Com
missioner Will T. Blake and L. Jay
Duke, special referee, last week, in
which the two attorneys attempted to
justify their fee as not being exorbit-
ant.
The two attorneys objected strenu-
ously to the presence Of newspapermen
at the hearing, but were informed by
Commissioner Blake that all hearings
and records Of the Commission and the
cases before it were open to the pub
lie and the press.
Hearing Of the case was continued
until October 81 due to the absence of
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Minor
who failed to appear with his two le-
gal companions as ordered last week
Questioned as to the "split" of the
81 ,625 fee, Shackelford admitted that
he had received $500. Wilson testified
that he had received only $3.50, and
stated that Minor owed him $3.50 out
of the balance of the fee which Minor
had retained.
Testimony of the widow revealed
that Minor had borrowed" $500 from
her on July 20, after the fifty per cent
fee had been extracted from he1
check, and signed note promising to
repay the loan by September 1, 1888
At the time of her testimony, the $500
had not been repaid.
Records of the case show that the
death claim was first filed on August
27, 1880, and was dismissed for lack
of prosecution on July 20, 1881. The
case was reopened on June II, 1897
and the Commission allowed the full
$4,000 death award on June 6, 1888.
The $3,250 lump sum payment to the
widow was the amount accrued from
the time the death claims was first
filed. Testimony of the widow reveals
that she was not allowed to have that
check in her possession at any one
time, but was given half by Minor
after she had endorsed it and he had
it cashed.
Members of the Industrial Commiss-
ion have attempted to break up the
contingent fee practice, which has been
ruled illegal by the Ohio Supreme
Court, but are unable to recover money
paid to attorneys in this manner.
Under the workmen's compensation
law, fee agreements should be pre-
sented to the Commission for approval
by the claimant and the legal counsel.
A maximum fee Of $500 is prescribed
by the law, and that is allowed by the
Commission only when the case in
wolves extensive court action.
When this provision of the law is
not complied with by the claimant and
their attorneys, the Commission is
powerless to protect the claimant after
the fee has been paid.

Conference Calls
CONTINUED From Page One)

President Michael J. Lyden, Youngs-
town, to send delegates to the CON
ference and cooperate in defeating
the amendment.
The Ohio State Federation of Labor
and affiliated organizations have OPP
posed the proposed judicial amendment
since the first initiative petitions in
it's behalf appeared two years ago.
Conventions Of the Federation in 1887
and 1898 unanimously approved res
olutions condemning the proposal.
At the request of Secretary of State
William j. Kennedy, Governor Martin
l.. Davey last week appointed com
mittce of five to draft an argument in
opposition to the amendment, which
will appear with arguments presented
by the proponents in a pamphlet eX-
planning the amendment, to be dis
tributed to the electorate.
Composing the committee are
Michael j. Lyden, President of the
Ohio State Federation of Labor Wal
ter Kirk, Port Clinton, President of
the Ohio State Grange; Reed NJ. Wine
gardner, Columbus attorney; Francis
Durbin, Lima attorney, and M. Ray
Allison, Columbus, State Finance Di-
rector.
While official certifcation Of suf-
fcient number of signatures to the
initiative petitions proposing the
amendment has not been made to the
Secretary of State, reports received
from the various Boards of Elections
throughout the State indicate that
supplementary petitions filed contain
valid signatures sufficient to place the
proposal on the ballot.

MAN BITES DOG
Plumbers Urge Employers
To Organize For The
Good of Trade

st. John, N. B. QLNS).-On the
theory that it is impossible to improve
prevailing conditions in plumbing and
heating until the contractors are or
ganized, the St. John local of the
United Association of Plumbers and
Steamfitters, has taken the initiative
in movement to re-estabish the en-
ployers' organization for the district.
The union local, revived last year,
after being dormant for 1S years,
called conference in the local Amer
ican Federation of Labor Hall, and in
vited all the local plumbing and heat
ing contractors to participate.
TO the contractors who responded,
it was pointed out by the union Off
GERS that improving conditions in the
industry was a two-way matter, and
success could not be accomplished
singly. The employers association
had been non-existent for about 10
years, and it was proposed to reor-
ganize it. Contractors attending the
conference agreed to take hold and
help the union to revive the St. John
Master Plumbers and Steamftters'
Association.
Two questions for adjustment by
the union and employers group when
the latter is fully reorganized, are
G) Increased wages for the Journey
men; (2) elimination of plumbing
and heating operations by persons
outside the allied industries. In con-
nection with the latter, the union has
launched drive against such activi-
ties, on the grounds that they are
menacing to safety and public and in
dividual health, as we'll as depriving
the legitimate plumbers and steam
filters of employment. The situation
is to be explained to the public by
joint action Of the union and employ
ers' association.
This is believed to be the first in
stance in which a union has been
wholly instrumental in the formation
of an association of employers.

Two Members Lost
To Local Union IS
]. S. Frazier and Charles D.
Mizer. Pope-Gosser
Employees Die

Coshocton, O.-Death has struck
twice within the past two weeks at
the Pope-Gosser shop, taking two of
Coshocton's oldest potterymen, both
members Of Local Union No. Is.
j. S. Frazier, familiarly known
throughout the trade as Jake" died
last Friday morning of a heart at
tack after an illness which fingered for
more than a year. Mr.. Frazier was
&c years of age.
Jake worked for the Pope Gosser
people for the past II years, but had
been a llilnman for 35 years, work
ing in the following towns; New Cum
berland, Buffalo, st. Johns, Canada
Cameron, Warrington and Clarksburg.
He marched in the Labor Day pa
rade i'm 1887 and worked the following

having taken walk around the yard
of his home.

200,00O,0OO.
"This total includes about $910,000,-
600 paid out for public assistance since
February, 1886; S7,500,OO0 in single
cash and death claims paid since the
old-age insurance program went into
operation in January, 1887; and about
$300,0OO,O00 in unemployment COM
pensation benefits paid since January,
1888.
Billion Dollars Added to Buying Power
"These payments have put purchas-
ing power of we'll over one billion dol
lars into the hands of people, many of
whom would otherwise have had little
or nothing to spend. Used, as it must
be, to buy the necessities of life, that
billion dollars has flowed back into the
main stream of business in every COM
munity throughout the country. And
by so much, it has helped to cushion
the depression which came along about
a year ago, and which is now receding.
"There can be no question of what
this has meant-in terms of security,
in terms of want and fear forestalled
to the individuals and families these
payments have helped to keep going.
Nor can there be any question that the
entire economic life of the country
shares in the stabilizing effects of
the 5 programs the Social Security
Board administers-the programs | am
discussing here-but also for the
other programs embodied in the act,
and directed by other Federal agencies.
"These welfare and health provis-
ions have enabled every State in the
Union to expand and strengthen it's
services for the welfare of children,
for the protection of the public health,
and for the vocational rehabilitation
of the handicapped. Looking at the
act in terms of people served and in
terms of future needs forestalled-
there can be no question that we can
chalk up a record of genuine and en-
during progress"
Wider COverage
In discussing a broadening of the
existing provisions of the Social Sc
curity Act, Mr.. Altmeyer declared the
Social Security Board was preparing
a report on President Roosevelts sug-
gestion that the payment of old age
insurance annuities begin at an earlier
date than January /, 1912; that larger
benefits be paid than now provided in
the Act for those retiring during the
earlier years Of the system, and that
provision be made for paying benefits
to aged wives and widows, and to
young children Of insured dying before
reaching retirement age.
He said the Board was also consid-
ering the problem of extending unem-
ployment compensation and old age
insurance to farm and domestic work
ers, and to seamen. He added that the
Board had already recommended an
amendment to bring seamen under the
old age insurance system and that a
bill providing unemployment compen-
sation for maritime workers was in-
troduced at the last session Of Con-
gress.
He said the inclusion of farm and
domestic workers was a big problem
which requires much study and care
ful preparation"

and the American Federation of La
Dor. The Executive Council expresses
it's appreciation for the patient, con-
structive and exalted service which
was rendered by the representatives of
the American Federation of Labor who
served upon the negotiating commit
tee.
"The Executive Council places the
blame for failure to consummate an
agreement ending the differences
which were caused by withdrawal of
the G. l. O. organizations from affili-
alton with the American Federation
of Labor, squarely and directly upon
the dominant officers of the Committee
for Industrial Organization. They
repudiated the work of their own COM
mittee. They vetoed an agreement
which had been honorably negotiated
They are responsible for the division,
discord and the dualism which con-
tinues to exist within the organized
labor movement of the country. The
record makes this clear. No truthful
answer can be offered and no justif-
able defense can be made by the DOM
inant controlling officers of, the Com
mittee for Industrial Organization.
Dictatorship of Lewis Blamed for
DiscOrd and Dualism
"The Committee for Industrial Or
ganization proposed the conference.
The American Federation of Labor ac-
cepted the offer. We fought for the
creation of practical, workable COM
mittees.
"The three members of the commit
tee representing the American Fedora
tion of Labor met with a committee
Of ten which the C. l. o. insisted should
represent them; they submitted pro-
posals and considered counter-pro-
posals; they negotiated an agreement
with the committee Of ten (of which
the late Charles P. Howard, President
of the International Typographical
Union was a member), accepted it, ap-
proved it, and agreed that at stated
hour it would be signed, sealed and
publicly announced.
"1t seems inconceivable that one
man, the Chairman of the Committee
for Industrial Organization, could veto
an agreement thus entered into and by
doing so, accept responsibility for a
continuation of division, discord, hate,
enmity and dualism in the organized
labor movement of the Nation"

On Capitol Hill
BY GEORGE L. KNAPP

Washington, D, c. QLNS).-When
railroad unions get into an open hear
ing in a contest with railroad manage
ment, there's never any lack of inter
est. They never stand on the defen-
sive, the scrap is carried straight to
the other fellow The hearings be-
fore the emergency fact finding board
on the proposed wage cut are running
true to form.
Counsel for the Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen, opening the ball, is
perfectly willing to explain why the
rail workers cannot and should not
take Is per cent cut in wages. But
he doesn't stop there. He brings up
the increase in railroad salaries and
payments to lawyers. These boosts in
the last two years, he declares, have
ranged from 512 per cent to 105 per
cent, and some of the biggest boosts
have been on bankrupt roads. For one,
the Chicago G. Northwestern.
"In 1885," says Mr.. Tom Davis,
counsel for the B. r. T., "this bank
rupt road had 16 officers receiving
$4,000 or more per year, with a total
salary of S270,O00.
:s."Still bankrupt, still claiming that
it cannot meet operating expenses,
Still willing to pauperize the workers,
it has increased the number of Of
ficers receiving $4,000 or more per
year from IS in 1885 to, 32 in 1887,
and paid them S531 ,720." -.
That is just starter. Small WON
der that reporters love to get assigned
to such hearings.
The ruction in Europe has brought
from the Army and Navy Board in
Washington the warning that the
United States is short of or lacks al
together FL essential war supplies
aluminium, antimony, chromium, COCO
nut shells, coffee, hides, iodine, man
ganese manila fiber, mica, nickel, op-
ium optical glass, quartz crystal, +,
quicksilver, quinine, rubber, silk, tin,
tungsten, wool.
Cocoanut shells are used to make
the charcoal that goes into gas masks.
The shortage of aluminium is really
shortage of the ore, bauxite. We
have big desposits of that in this
country, but the Aluminium Trust
brings in about 100000 tons year
from northern South America-Dutch
and British Guiana. It's safe bet
that labor there is among the cheap
est on earth.
Chromium, maganese, nickel, tin,
tungsten all are used as alloys for
steel. Barney Baruch once proposed
that the u. S. government import q
100000 tons, Of tin, and store it. 1t
doesn't sound like a bad idea.
