Alumni To Purchase
Tome School
New Corporation Will Take
Over School Property
At Port Deposit

Alumni of the Tome School, Port
Deposit, nationally known as 1.-THE
most beautiful school in America,
have decided to purchase and con-
troll this prominent institution ON
the edge of the South. At the Annual,
Meeting of the Alumni Association
held at the School Saturday, repre7-
sentatives from many states, includ-
ing special deputation from New
York City, enthusiastically endorsed
the steps taken by the new Corpora
ton to purchase the whole School
property for $35O,0OO.
Governor Harry w. Nice of Mary
land, visiting Tome Saturday morn
ing, commented on the new respon-
sibility the alumni are undertaking.
Here is school,, said the Cover
nor, second to none in its record OF
accomplishment as a preparatory
school for boys. 1t is gem of ss-
chitecture and landscape and ideally
placed midway between the North
and South. Your many hundreds of
Tome men on both sides Of the Sus-
quehanna are showing sound judg-
ment in desiring to own this school
they love. Maryland in particularly
joins with all other states In its need
of Tome School and will watch with
deep interest its progress in the flu
ture under the direction Of its own
boys"
Charles ]. Keppel, Heaimaster.
welcomed the returning alumni and
stated his confidence that the pur-
chase plan would receive the un-
qualified approval of the alumni as
practical, workable idea which he
wanted them to know he supported
to the utmost.
Speaking at the Alumni Meeting
ing. Frederick s. Henry, President
Of the new Corporation and for thir-
ty years on the faculty Of Tome, an
nounced that the agreement to pur-
chase had been signed by the new
Corporation on September II. "The
alumni are now offered the 0pp0r-
tunity", he said, ito have the kind
of school they want at 9 real bargain
price, as over one and q quarter mil
lion dollars have been invested In
the property. For years 1t has been
our dream that our boys might own
Tome and ensure it's permanence. It
is natural and logical that Tome
should join the ranks of other pro-
gressive preparatory schools whose
alumni have voice and q share in
their future. This opportunity now
exists and our alumni, scattered
over forty-six states and eight for
eign countries, are being informed
and organized to shoulder this re-
sponsibility."
Clarence w. Williamson of New
York was unanimous elected chair
man of national campaign executive
committee. Mr.. Williamson, recall
ing the spirit of the boys of his day.
said he believed that same quality
still existed throughout the whole
alumni group.
q. v. Weems, reelected as Pres
ident of the Tome School Alumni
Association, announced that alumni
groups in New York, Philadelphia,
Washington, aBltimore, Pittsburgh
and Chicago have already expressed
their willingness to help carry out
the plan for a new Tome.

Instructive information regarding
the policy of the government of Ru-
mania to abolish free labor organiza.
tions and substitutes therefor the no
torious dictatorial labor policy OF
Mussolini's Fascists in Italy and Hit
ler's Nazis in Germany comes from
the international Federation of Trade
Unions, Paris, France; with which
the American Federation of Labor is
affiliated. In an article entitled "Will
Rumania Fall to Fascism?" the Bull
letin of the l. F. T. U. says:
It is a well-known fact that all Fas-
cist movements have started by try
ing to attract the workers and promis-
ing them all kinds Of improvements
in their organizations and their econ
omic situation. !
:. 1t was therefore more than suspic-
ious when the Rumanian Government
issued last summer statement af-
firming that intense activity was in
progress in the Ministry Of Labour

of the workers. Efforts in the, field

Geneva, Switzerland.-The advis-
ability of adopting international reg
ulations to safeguard the rights Of
interpretative artists in radio broad
casting and phonograph recording was
considered by committee of experts,
representing the various interests con-
cerned, appointed by the international
Labor Office, which met in Geneva,
the last week in November.
If the committee decides in favor
of such regulations, it probably will
recommend to the Governing Body of
the lilo that the question be placed
upon the agenda of an early session
of the International Labor Conference.
The Conference, comprised Of Govern
ment, Employer and Labor repre-
sentatives' from most of the sixty ma

- Jobs Lost by Thousands
The public, it pointed out, able to
listen to music and drama at home,
has in many cases deserted theatres
and concert halls; cafes, dance halls,
and similar establishments have re-
sorted more and more to radio and
phonograph music; and many motion
picture houses which, before the ad-
vent of the sound film employed by a
certain number of musicians, have
since dispensed with their services. AS
a result, it says, unemployment
among actors and musicians has risen
to catastrophe proportions"
Thus, in France in 1882, said the re-
port, it was estimated that out of a
total of 1000 theatrical artists, only
1900 had jobs; in the United States
in 1885, $4,000 musicians were listed
by Federal agencies as in urgent
need of relief; and in Japan in 1886
unemployment among musicians was
estimated at Al per cent as compared

Bv Job Commission
Flexible Work Week For
Determining Benefit
Amounts Set

Columbus, O.-Six new regulations,
adopted by the Unemployment Com
pensation Commission in preparation
for payment of benefits after January
l, were announced last week by w. I.
Roberts, labor member of the Com
mission.
In cases where 25 or more workers
in a concern become unemployed at
or about the same time for the same
reason-a layoff-the employer will be
authorized to file one "mass separa-
tion" report with the nearest unem-
ployment compensation office instead
of furnishing each employe with
separation notice. ...-. .---
Workers who are victims of such
"mass separations" will report to the
temporary scheduling stations to be
established by the Commission, where
they will receive appointment cards
giving the date and time they are to
report at the unemployment compen-
sation branch office to register for
work and file claims.
Another regulation establishes the
time for determination of average
weekly wage as the date on which the
worker applies for benefits, to remain
in effect until benefit rights are ex-
hausted. T-
A flexible work week, to consist Of
any seven consecutive days instead
of the rigid calendar week, was estab-
lished by the Commission, Roberts
said. This was done to prevent any
loss of benefit days by worker who
becomes unemployed during calen-
dar week. ."
Other regulations permit employers
having favorable employment records
and approved by the Commission to
use special wage and separation re-
port in lieu of quarterly reporting of
all workers wages, and clarified

Round Table Discussion At Princeton
Is Attended BY Brotherhood Officials
President Duffy and Vice
President WheutleY At
Labor Forum
TALK TO MccABE
Professor Seeks Out MOP
OMcidls For Chut On
Problems

President James M. Duffy, accomp-
anied by First Vice President e. l..
Wheatley, attended the Round Table
Discussion held at Princeton Inn on
the Princeton University campus last
Saturday afternoon and evening. Per-
tinent labor problems were thoroughly
thought out by the assembled authori-
ties. The meeting was presided over
by Spencer Miller, Jr., of New York,
director of the American Federation
Of Labor Educational Bureau.
Men prominent in labor, industry,
finance, education and law were pres
ent to put forth their views on the
many questions discussed. President
Duffy, upon his return from the east,
stated that he could not possibly i'm
agine a better educational medium
than Mr.. Miller's Round Table meet
ings.
The Brotherhood head also reported
that Professor McCabe, Princeton's s
labor authority, sought out the N. B.
O. P. officials when he heard they
were on the campus. Professor Nc
Cabe has long been interested in the
collective bargaining methods Of the
Brotherhood and is the author of
collective Bargaining in the Pottery
Industry" The educator, reports
President Duffy, is still up to the
minute on general matters in the in
dustry and is still firmly convinced
that the methods employed by the N.
B. o. P. in settling problems arising
in the industry cannot be equaled.
President Duffy was also we'll inn
pressed with Professor Alexander
Smith, who was host to the particle
pants Of the discussion, at a dinner
in his home.
The following subjects were dis
cussed:
1.-Should the right of organiza-
tion and collective bargaining be
guaranteed to Labor by federal and
state legislation?
2.-Should support be continued to
state and federal legislation protect
ing the safety and health of workers
and providing minimum wages and
hours protection for women and
children?
8. Should support be given a fed
eral constitutional amendment giving
Congress the right to legislate on the
subject of child labor?
