Bill State Controversy

Aside from these matters, the bill
is still subject of violent contro-
versy.
The Lodge amendment, calling for
the prevailing wage on all projects
was left out of the conference report.
Pro-labor members Of congress ex-
plain this by saying that the Lodge
amendment is so broad that it covers
private construction; and that this
would raise instantly constitutional
question Labor advocates outside of
congress deny this; though some Of
them admit that the amendment
would be very hard to enforce.
The American Federation Of Labor
and A. f. Of L. building trades unions
supported the Lodge amendment and
asked that it be retained IN the bill

BIG ST. PAUL
Printing Company
Unionized

st. Paul, Mimi An intensive or
ganization campaign, extended over a
period of a year, by allied printing
trades crafts, was brought to a sensa-
tionally successful climax with the
signing of a union contract by Brown
& Bigelow, large printing concern
that does business on a national scale.
The organization drive covered the
Twin Cities of st. Paul and Minneap-
oils, and was the largest and most
intensive campaign ever put on by the
local printing crafts, international
unions and local labor organizations
giving full cooperation.
The net result is that all important
printing establishments have signed
contracts with the unions concerned,
including the Typographical Union,
Printing Pressmen and Assistants and
the Bookbinders. Brown & Bigelow
non-union heretofore, was the last
holdout, negotiations being under way
with the firm for six months before
the agreement was finalized.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-T The
housing bill as reported from the con-
ference of house and senate has been
passed by the house, but was blocked
in the senate by the flibuster of
Southern senators against the anti
lynching bill Senator Wagner can
bring the housing bill before the sem
ate; for a conference report is priv
iliged matter He had not done this
when this was written, because OF the
open threat that if the housing bill
gets the floor, the filibuster would be
transferred to that
The bill as it came out OF confer
ence has some features which all
friends of housing agree are good.
On individual housing, the insurance
of loan may be 80 per cent of the
cost, instead of the former so per
cent. On multiple housing, the IN
surance to the constructor is so per
cent, but if a unit is sold to the fam
ily occupying it, the government will
insure that loan up to 80 per cent
interest rates are cut from per cent
to S per ent-though with eXcep-
tions. and these exceptions may prove
the rule.

CON of a Slavic butcher and lnr1- S keeper, Anton Dvorak had al- ready achieved great musical dis tinction when he came to the United States in 1892. Here he was engaged as director of the New York National Conservatory at a salary of $15,000 a year.
 Dvorak held this post for three years, attuning his ear to every strange new variation of life and tone he found in America. He grew particularly interested in the folk songs of Negroes and In- dianS, to the point of introducing their melodies in his composition. Out of this experience grew his "New World Symphony" and "In Nature"
 In 1895, Dvorak returned to live in Prague, where honors were heaped upon him. He wrote five symphonies much chamber music, a number of successful operas and several sacred compositions. He died in 1904, and after his death friends found three more com pleted symphonies among his pa pers. Dvorak probably did more

True Courtesy Is
Consideration i'm Action

Between merely formal cour-
tesy and heart-inspired kindness,
there is as much difference as be-
tween a wax model and a real
woman.
Even formal civility, however, is
invariably preferable to brutal
frankness.
The harder it is for a person to
be decent in society, the more he
should practice the social mice
ties" The best place to practice
kindness is in ones home. If one
trains himself to be polite to his
relatives, he need not fear that
he will make any serious social
blunders.-James Warnack in Los
Angeles Times.

express disapproval rather than the
approval that it carries today.
Charivarists went masked in those
