New York's Civil Service Com
mission provides food for thought
with q new stunt in testing appli'
cants, one that might be of value
to the Federal Government If
necessary changes in the Civil
Service Act were effected. In a
recent test, the New York body
limited its eligible list to those
making the so highest grades, or
in other words the passing mark
was determined to be that Of the
person 50th in rank after rating.
BY thus limiting eligible registers
in advance, the U. S. Civil Ser
vice Commission could largely pre-
vent carrying hosts of hopefulS
who have no appointment chance.
Probably 80 per cent of folks who
now "take a shot in the dark"
would save themselves time and
the Government cash by remain
ing away if they knew competi-
ton would be limited to those
with tip-top grades. Yet the COM
petitive angle would remain un-
injured.

DEMOCRACY'S HOPE,
STEELMAN SAYS
u. S. Cancellation Director Addresses
Fifty-Fourth Federation
Convention.
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

Cincinnati, Collective bargain
ing is vital necessity not only to la
Dor but to the nation as a whole, DR..
John r. Steelman, Director Of the Con-
ciliation Service of the United States
Department of Labor, told delegates
- The ffty-fourth annual convention
of the Ohio State Federation of Labor
here last week.
In reviewing our American scene
in relation to Great Britain and the
Scandinavian countries" Dr. Steelman
said, 1--WE perceive that one factor, lack
Of gradualness in the evolution of our
industrial relations, is largely re-
sponsible for the disturbed state of
our industrial relations.
I'VE in this country are in the rather
unfortunate position of having to COM
press within a period of comparatively
few years the far-reaching modifica-
tions in the relationship between en-
ployers and employees which in other
countries have taken decades of grad
ual change.
1T is not to the best interests of
powerful organizations to fight if diff
ferences can be reconciled by another
method" DR.. Steelman said. las in
dustries become better organized, and
the associations of employers and en-
ployed grow more powerful, differ
ences are more apt to be settled amic-
ably. Not understanding this fact
many persons condemn the principles
Of collective bargaining, and say that
it brings conflict, not peace"

Newest A. F. OIL. Broadcast Dramatizes
Labor Day History And Spirit In
Stirring Re- enactment Program

Washington, D. G. (ILNS).-A new
and inspiring feature to the celebra-
tion of Labor Day this year is given
by the second Of the Labor Parade"
broadcast programs of the American
Federation of Labor. The broadcast
presents in dramatic fashion the first
Labor Day parade and follows the
progress of labor through more than
so years that have passed since. Part,
a significant part, is marked off by the
successive Labor Days
The program, one of 13 in the LA
Dor Parade" programs of the A. f.
of L., has gone out for release Au-
gust 10 on over 60 stations throughout
the country The first program, re-
leased in July, met with an enthus-
iastic reception from both labor and
the general public.
1t is impossible, Of course, to give
the full sweep Of tone and music and
words together in printed words alone.
But it is the best thing that can be
done; and the broadcast is so fine that
much Of it will get over, even under
that handicap. Here are some samples
1st Announcer: The Parade of La
Dor, through the years, can be marked
by the recurring celebrations Of La
Dor Day. On, on, on, the feet of the
workers of America have tramped in
march toward better lives, better
homes, better citizenship, greater buy
ing power, sturder health, and an in
creased span of life. And on Monday
September s, across the length and
breadth of the nation, another Labor
Day will be celebrated.
Onward March Traced
That is why, in this transcribed pro-
duction of the Labor Parade, the
American Federation of Labor traces
this majestic onward march a
march which fostered labors great
contribution TO the development and
stability of the nation.

from company houses formed
colony in tents.
Cts useless to try to get the effect
of the broadcast of the Ludlow mas
sacre from the printed text alone.
Listen to it. You'll find it one of the
big thrillers of your life.)
(And on the parade goes. The work
of organized labor in the World War
gets one of the few fair statements
ever given it. The yellow dog con-
tract sanctified by the Supreme Court,
to start fight that lasted 20 years
until the NRA guaranteed the right
Of labor to organize. The shopmen's
strike OF l922-an epic. The crash
and the depression. The dull, hope
less years; and then the beginning of
recovery)
Announcer: The Labor Parade
moves on-and the parade of Labor
Days moves on, marking each year
something new in the development Of
our industrial life toward order, to-
ward negotiation and agreement as a
way Of doing things.
JOB Upswing Forecast
Only part of the events dramatized
in the broadcast are mentioned in the
foregoing account. The program
touches many other big events of
labor history since Labor Day was
| first celebrated in 1882. 1t forecasts
happier Labor Day this year than
last, with an upswing in employment
and celebrations real celebrations
planned in thousands of American
cities, in the words of the announcer,
1 who adds:
"The barometer begins it's climb
as America again smiles with the
happiness of work to do and wages
to be earned and spent"

End Announcer: The first Labor Day
celebration was in New York in 1882.
P. j. Mcclure, one of the great pioneer
figures of American organized labor,
was among those who induced the
New York Central Labor Union to in
augurate the custom that was to grow
into law and become nationwide.

The nervous tension among resi- dents of Douglas occasioned by the almost continuous high winds for the past week or more reached it's height Saturday afternoon when a brush fire got started from chimney sparks between lower Front and Second streets and again this fore noon when a chimney fire at the E. E. Engstrom residence caused the alarm to be sounded.
 Snappy response was made by the Volunteer Fire Department in both cases, the fire truck being well on its way at top speed before the siren stopped sounding its first signal. The blaze in both cases was extin-

automobile industry, the rubber tire business grew apace and the Fire stone plant was expanded periodi- cally until in the boom years of the World War it employed more than 10000 persons. The company, of which MT. F'irestone was president, was one of the largest of it's kind and he came to be recognized as one of the world leaders in the man ufacture of tires.
 MT Firestone was born on a farm near Columbiana, Ohio, December 20, 1868. son of Benjamin and Cath erine Flickinger Firestone. His fa- ther worked a small farm, on which Harvey helped while attending country school and high school at Columbiana. After a course in a Cleveland business school the son began his career as traveling salesman for a grocery firm
 He switched to the coal business as bookkeeper for a Columbus firm and later returned to salesmanship with the buggy company that even tually led him into the tire busi- ness
 In November, 1895, MT Firestone married Idabelle Smith of Jackson, Mich. They had five sons and a daughter.
 Friend of Ford
 For several years MT. Firestone and lis intimate friends, Henry Ford and Thomas A. Edison, spent part of their vacations together in camping parties and trips. They were. accompanied on some occas- ions by the late President Harding.
 With the tremendous expansion of the tire business occasioned by the rapid development of the auto mobile, MT. Firestone realized the necessity of a constant supply Of raw materials for tire making. He acquired for his company cotton mills in Massachusetts and estab- lished buying centers for raw rubber in Malay. Next he acquired land in
The Daily Alaska empire., 1938-02-07

Liberia where he established his own rubber plantations.
 Rubber Monopoly
 The last named move was an inl- portant factor in the campaign which MT. Firestone lnaugurated against Great Britain's rubber mon opoly. Control of crude rubber by that government became nearly ab- solete when in 1921 Parliament passed a law restricting the annual output Other efforts of the Fire stone campaign included the in- vestigation of growing rubber in the Philippine Islands and in South American countries, while aid was given to his activities against the monopoly by the formation of a rubber buyers pool in New York, in which he was interested. and by increased rubber production in the Dutch colonies.
 When the United States entered the World War, MT. Firestone was named a member of the Ohio Coun- cil of National Defense and was in- strumental in organizing the ribber division of the War Industries Board As president of the Rubber Association of America from 1916 to 1913, he interested himself in or ganizing the associations activities into war work.
 Organizes Companies
 In the expansion of The Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, a sub sidiary company of the same name was organized in Canada with MT. Firestone as president, and another in England, of which he was a direc- tor. He also was president of the Firestone Steel Products Com pany
 Approaching the loyalty of his employees as one of the most in- portant factors in his success, MT. Firestone instituted for their benefit what was regarded as a model sav- ings plan. Through it's operation many of the workers were enabled to become stockholders in the con- pany. He also built for them home community, clubhouse, athlet- 1 ic field and golf course, and was organizer of The Firestone Park Trust and Savings Bank.
 Harbel Manor, the F'irestone home at Akron, was show place where the tire manufacturer indulged in his hobbies -blooded horses and cattle. He also had a winter home at Miami Beach, Fla.
