Local Union No. IL
Elects Mccoy Chief
Every Jiggermdn Expected
To Attend Meetings
In 1899

Saul Mccoy was elected president OF
Local Union No. IL by the jiggermen
at the last meeting. Larry Finley re-
tained his post as vice president;
George Salsberry was named secre-
tary-treasurer; John Weber, recording
secretary; George Lanning, inside
guard; Ernest Terrence, Inspector;
Frank Haines, statistician; Guy Dig
man, trustee. Saul Mccoy, James
Kelly and Harry Podewel were chosen
for the auditing committee.
We sincerely hope the wage ques-
ton with the boys will be settled in
the very near future. Local IL is back
of anything fair which will unravel
this knotty problem.
Brother Fred Young has embarked
upon the rough waters of the real
estate business, so we granted him an
honorary membership and wished him
plenty Of luck.
The presence and cooperation of
every Jiggerman is needed at the
meetings and we hope one of the 1889
resolutions will be regular attendance
at all meetings.
We appreciate the work done the
past year by Frank Haines, our men,
ber on the standing committee, and
hope this committee will have the
same success next year. We expect our
members to cooperate even better with
the committee.
We hope the trade has prosperous
1889 and that President Duffy and the
entire membership of the Executive
Board has Happy and Successful
year ahead.-O. C. IL.

Employers Retire
Demand TO EXEMPT
Learners From Act
All the Textile Workers Will
Come Under Wage
Hour Law

Washington, D. C.-The first frontal
attack on the application of the pro-
visions Of the Wage and Hour Act to
the textile industry was staged before
Merle D. Vincent, chief of the hearings
and exemption section Of the Wage
and Hour Division, L. S. Department
of Labor, when the Cotton Textile In
stitute, Inc, the National Rayon
Weavers Association, the National
Federation Of Textiles, Inc, and other
employer groups, applied for permiss-
ion to employ learners in the textile
industry at wage rates below the
minimum now in effect or to be estab-
lished in the future. The Act gives
the Administrator authority to make
such exemptions from the minimum
wage rate applied to the industry gen.
orally.
Following thorough hearings before
the Wage and Hour Division, in which
arguments for and against the pro-
posed exemption were presented, the
three employer organizations notified
Administrator Elmer F. Andrews that
they had withdrawn their application.
Well-informed observers expressed
the opinion that the action of the en-
ployer groups was very largely due to
the unanswerable argument against
the payment of less-than- minimum
wages to learners presented for the
National Council of Textile Unions of
the American Federation of Labor by
Boris Shiskin, of the A. F. of L. Re-
search Staff, at the public hearing be-
fore the Department of Labor Wage
and Hour Division which administers
the Act.
From the facts developed by an in
tensive study, authorized by President
Green of the American Federation of
Labor, of the requirements of the tex
tile industry for the employment of
learners at wage rates below the gen.
eral minimum set forth in the Wage
Act itself or in future orders issued
under its authority, Mr.. Shiskin de-
clared that the application to employ
learners at substantial rates should
be denied.
An important reason for denying
the application, Mr.. Shiskin said was
the unemployment situation. at is

LeqisIufure Call
Set for December
Thir+yB BY Dewey
Confirmation Of Appointees
Sought In Fourth
Special Session
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

Columbus, O.-The 92nd General
Assembly will be recalled to work on
the last two days Of it's legal exist
ence, December 80 and 81, by Cover
nor Davey who desires confirmation of
a number Of appointees to Commiss-
ions and Boards before retiring from
office on January 9.
Although the announced purpose of
the fourth special session is re-enact-
ment of liquid fuel and cigarette tax
I es, which expire next March, to bolster
chances of schools borrowing against
anticipated revenues, Senate confirm
alton of the appointees will probably
be the only accomplishment.
Doubt has been expressed that the
call will bring quorum in the House
Of Representatives, necessary for the
enactment Of legislation. Senator
Keith Lawrence, Cleveland, majority
floor leader, anticipates attendance of
nearly all members of the Senate,
where a quorum is necessary for con-
firming appointments.
State Treasurer Clarence H. knis-
ley, defeated for reelection by Don
Ebright, Akron, is Governor Davey's
current choice as successor to Thomas
M. Gregory as Chairman of the In
dustrial Commission, and is said to be
looked on with favor by Senate lead
ers.
Reappointment of Charles S. Leas-
ure as Chairman of the Unemploy-
ment Compensation Commission has
been before the Senate for several
months, and pressure to retain the
two-to-one Democratic majority on
that Commission will be exerted in the
Senate.
Confirmation of the appointments of
Ed Switalski, Dan A. Carmichael and
William S. Konold as members of the
State Industrial Building Commission
will also be sought.
Twelve appointees now serving on
four Regional Claims Boards Of the
Industrial Commission will be asked
confirmation by the Senate also. In
cluded are four labor representatives,
Otto w. Brach, Toledo, Jack McCahan,
Canton, Joseph Inderreiden, Cincin-
y natl, and Jack Steel, Cleveland.
A number of other appointments to
lesser posts are also expected to be
submitted to the Senate for consider
alton.

not, you've probably seen Bob Hope at one time or another. He has played almost everywhere ill vaude- vile - in blackface, singles, teams, dance acts, in carnivals as a barker. in night clubs as master of cere- moniAs, and with the Siamese Twins and the late Fatty Arbuckle.
 He got his start as a funnyman by trying to deliver serious speech at church social in Cleve- land.
 His lines were appropriately dignified but his method of de-
 livery sent his audience into howls.
 Between jobs of jerking sodas. selling shoes. working in a butcher shop and climbing telephone poles. Hope sang and dance in small Ohio theaters. Then he tried den tistry at Western Reserve Univer- sity, but after burrowing among the bicuspids he decided to be pugilist.
 AS an amateur w-breaker he was doing all right until he ran into solid young native named Johnny Risko. Before the third round bad ended Hope realized that acting would be a more en- joyable career.

Mounted with spectacular lavish ness and one of the most powerful and moving photoplays the screen has offered in decade, Conquest" co-Starring Greta Garbo and Charles Boyer is to be seen today and tomorrow at Warner Brothers Strand where it heads another im- pressive twin feature program.
 In this poignant and convinc- ing story of romantic epoch in the life of the power-impassioned Napoleon Bonaparte, the brilliant Garbo demonstrates once again her power to mould herself into a totally different characterization. As the patriotic Countess Marie WalewSka who enters Napoleon's life first in order to win him over to the side of her beloved Poland,

 This spatulate beezer is so similar in contour to the nose of Beatrice Lillie that the two distinguished comedians have been mistaken for brother and sister. Also, each has 8 jutting jaw.
 The main reason Hope remained on the stage so long was that in early movie tests his chin came on the screen ten seconds before he got there.

You'll have to hurry if you would enjoy the great show being present. ed at Warner Brothers State thea ter for tonight'S performances wind up its engagement. Included on the program is Thrill Of A Lifetime" a musical romance with The Yacht Club Boys, Judy Canova, Ben Blue, Eleanore Whitney, Johnny Downs. Dorothy Lamour, Betty Grable and others also Jack Holt in "Under Suspicion"
 Tomorrow the State crashes through with another outstanding twin feature program headed by ''True Confession" with Carole Lom- bard, Fred MacMurray and John Barrymore. It's the gayest funniest, maddeSt comedy you've ever laughed at being the story of girl who would rather lie than eat, married to the most scrupulously honest man in the world. In the supporting cast are such favorites as Una Mer- kel, Edgar Kennedy, Lynne Over man and Porter Hall.
 The story introduces Carole Lom- bard as the girl who's the biggest natural-born liar in the world, mar ried to MacMurray, a struggling young lawyer. In order to get him some publicity which might help his business along, Miss Lombard con- fesses to murder which she has not committed, and on MacMur- rays plea of self-defense, he gets her an acquittal.
 Business improves with MacMur- ray, just as his wife had figured, but suddenly a new complication arises, when John Barrymore, an eccentric derelict, shows up and at temptS to blackmail Miss Lombard by threatening to tell her husband that she lied to him, because she really did not commit the murder.
 The complications which arise from this situation bring the film to its hilarious Windup. with Mss Lom- bard finally being convinced that she must never, never lie to her hus- band again.
 The companion feature will be "Women In Prison" 8 drama with a moral and one that provides food for thought. It's an unsual story out of the ordinary run of screen fare and one that provides splendid entertainment for all who view it, Two newcomers are seen in the leading roles in the persons of Wyn Cahoon and Scott Cotton both of whom give promise of becoming screen favorites.

M T7he Local Q. TheaterS
POLI's

Opening Saturday at the Loew Poli Theatef is Wallace Beery in his greatest picture, ''The Bad Man of Birthstone" with Virginia Bruce, Joseph Calleia, Lewis Stone, Bruce Cabot and Dennis O,Keefe.
 {. This is an epic saga of the West and the story of how law and order supplanted the reign of the six-gun.
 Famous for his portrayals of bad man roles, Berry, as leader of 8 gang of outlaws who rule the town of Birthstone, is offered one of the finest opportunities of his long cin- ematic career.
 Filmed against scenes of rugged grandeur in the Zion National For est of Utah, "The Bad Man of Birthstone" is the story of gang ster of the '80's whose reign is in- terrupted when he discovers that stranger who is attempting to clean up Birthstone is his own son.
 The part of the son is taken by Dennis O'Keefe, Metro -Goldwyp- Mayors newest discovery. OKeefe falls in love with the daughter of Brimstone's crooked judge, Virginia Bruce.
 Directed by J. Walter Ruben, the picture boasts one of the largest and most impressive supporting casts of any major Western production in some years.
 Occupying prominent spots in the picture are Guy Kibbee, Cliff Edwards, Quinn Williams, Arthur Hohl, Robert Gleckler, Noah Berry, Scotty Beckett and nearly a dozen other equally well-known players.
 Romance, comedy and gripping drama end swiftly in the action of the production and the roar of siX-shooter begins and ends 1t.
 On the same program will be seen the most hilarious comedy riot of the year, Mama Runs Wild" with Mary Roland and Ernest Truex in leading roles.
 Tonight at Loews Poli Is hilarity night for all Loew Poli Theater pa- irons. The reason for all the llilar- ity is the presentation of the much talked about "Uproar Hour. the latest laugh and fun sensation Make up a party of friends and come on down and join in the fun.

 The reporter printed the crack and the movie company notified Hope that it would not be needing his services for any more pictures.
 He still considers his remark the most fortunate one of his career. A few more shorts like that one and he would have been back in Cleve- land jerking sodas.
