Steel Rainbow to Replace Old Niagara Falls Span

THE Niagara Falls honeymoon Il CTS are to have a new bridge.
 Millions of tourists, the world over, who mourned the collapse of the famous Honeymoon" span, wrecked by an ice jam in Jan- uary, 1888, welcome the news that contracts have been let for a new and greater bridge, overlooking the falls.
 The new $4,0Oo,00o Rainbow Bridge" is expected to be con- pleted by July, 1940. It will be 1450 feet long, including a 960- foot arch, spanning the gorge, with a four-lane trafficway and prom enade. The supports will be 2S feet higher than those of the old span, well out of danger from future ice jams. The bridge will cross the river at point $50 feet below the site of the old bridge.
 The Rainbow Bridge is the fourth to be built across the Ni- agara gorge near the falls. The first suspension bridge was opened for traffic in 1869, remodeled in 1887-88, and blown down in 1889. A second suspension bridge was built two years later and removed in 1898 when the Honeymoon Bridge" was erected.
 In January, 1888, an unprece- dented ice jam clogged the gorge, and under it's crushing weight the old bridge collapsed. For a time it seemed that the wreckage might impede construction of a new span, but ice carried it down. stream, and it sank deep in the rapids. ''--

$3.50, 100000 Paid In
Last II Months To
Insure Unemployed

Washington, ID. G.. QLNS).-Pay-
ment of more than 39,9OO,OOO in job
insurance benefits during May brings
the total amount distributed to insured
unemployed workers during the II
months since benefits first became
payable in most states to approximate
ly 100000, the Social Security
Board announces.
Forty-six states, the District of CO.
lumbia, Alaska, and Hawaii are now
paying benefits under their unemploy-
ment compensation laws. In the two
remaining states-Montana and Hi
nois--benefits will become payable in
July, making the job-insurance pro-
gram fully effective throughout the
country.
Benefit payments during May were
1914 per cent above the amount paid
out in April. This increase largely
reflected payments made to workers
who had finished serving waiting pc
riods required in connection with the
beginning of new benefit years on
April l. The sharpest increases occur
red in West Virginia, where payments
were nearly three times the April to-
tai, and in New York which reported
a rs per cent rise. All told, 81 states
reported larger payments, and in IA
of these the amount was 20 per cent
or more above the April total.
Average weekly payments for total
unemployment ranged from $15.16 in
Alaska to $577 in Mississippi. Eigh-
teen states reported average weekly
benefit payments of more than $1,000.
For partial unemployment, the aver
age weekly payments ranged from
$1O.42 in Nevada to 1921 in Washing
ton, with Is states reporting average
weekly payments Of IS to S6.

The advisability Of chartering bus
to make the trip to the Worlds Fair
in body to view the Potters' greatest
advertising undertaking was argued
on the floor of the convention Mon
day afternoon. 1t was decided that
traffic would be too heavy to make
time on bus over the Fourth. Most
thought it would be impossible to
spend over a couple of hours at the
Fair. Since it is thought the work OF
the convention will be completed by
the weekend, a majority of delegates
expressed a wish to make the 123mile
trip at that time.
If bus will be chartered or not is
undecided at this time. Undoubtedly
the delegates wish to go to the Pot
ters' Exhibit in body, but since most
of them are driving, they would rathe,
take their autos to New York and start
the home trip from that point.

Hit By
Communist Heuds

The Communist faction in the At
lantic Coast C. I. o. Seamen's Union
is trying to purge the union from all
officials who are non-believers, i. e.,
who do not recognize the "Party" as
supreme. The secretary treasurer,
Jerome King, has been expelled for
ninety-nine years and other promi-
nent officials are slated for the axe.
Among the latter is Ralph Emerson,
the unions legislative representative
in the Nations Capital.
Mr.. Emerson was suspended and
directed to appear for trial in New
York. This he declined to do but in
stead induced Congressman O'Brien
of New York to insert in the Con-
gressional Record an "open letter" to
the membership of the C. I. o. Sea-
mems Union.
The Emerson letter refers in bit
ter language to the " mass purge of
nom Communist officials" and con-
cludes with the following gentle ad-
monition to the Roosevelt administra-
ton and the C. l. O.:
II have always been and will con-
tinue to be an ardent believer in the
Roosevelt administration and the c.
l. O., but the time has now come when
the administration and the C. l. O.
will have to curb the 'screwballs' who
attempt to hang on to the outer fringe
of the New Deal with the one hand
whilst with the other hand they try
to tear down every constructive at
tempt to better the conditions of the
working-class people in order to fur.
ther their own political aims"
