Agreed Amendments
Improve Workrnen's
Compensation Low

Columbus, o. (OLNS).-Following
a long established practice, a joint
committee representing the Ohio State
Federation of Labor and the Ohio
Manufacturers Association have had
introduced in the General Assembly
"agreed" bills amending the work
mems compensation law.
The "agreed" measures are the re-
suit of series of conferences in which
labor and industry studied the law and
determined amendments made neccs-
sary by the changing economic and
industrial order.
Representing the Ohio State Fed
Grafton Of Labor on the joint commit
tee were President Michael j. Lyden;
Vice President Arnold Bill; Secretary
Treasurer Thomas J. Donnelly; John
w. Jockel, president of the Ohio State
Building and Construction Trades
Council, and Charles j. Case, secre-
tary-treasurer of the Council.
The "agrced" amendments were IN
corporated in one bill, which was then
introduced in the House by Repre-
sentative f. f. Addison, Columbus, as
Ii. B. No. 400, and in the Senate by
Senator Horace Keifer, Springfield, as
S. B. No. 13l.
Principal amendments improving
the law provide for the transfer of an
employers compensation accounts
with the sale Of his business; requir-
ing contractors on public works
projects to certify compliance with
the law; permitting liens on property
owned by a non-complying employer
for recovery Of award made an injured
worker.

Another Pension
Plun Makes Bow
Ohio Aged Would Receive
$50 Per Month If Single.
$50 If Married

A new old age pension plan has
made its appearance in Ohio. A men,
ber of the Hamilton City Council, DR..
Mark Millikin, Chairman Of the Ham
ilton County Board of County Com
missioners, Charles G. Merrell, and
former Congressman, Rev. Herbert
S. Bigelow of Cincinnati have filed
with the Attorney General a petition
for what is called $50 at 60 Pension
Plan for Ohio.
This plan would insure every one
over 60 years of age an income of SO
dollars month, and married couples
80 dollars month.
A unique feature of the plan is
that the money is to be secured by a
2 per cent tax on one class of land,
land that is valued at the rate of
$4,000 or more an acre.
The purpose Of this obviously is to
exempt all farm land and lands of
home owners, but to dip into what
the economist calls the unearned
increments of land value in the CEN
ter of cities.
1t is also provided that all Federal
Income Tax payers must contribute
to the pension fund one fourth of
what they pay to the Federal Gov
ernment.
The Federal Government now takes
out Of Ohio in income taxes $11O,000,-
900.
The Committee announces that it
will send free to any citizen in Ohio
a pamphlet fully explaining the plan
This pamphlet may be secured no
doubt by writing to any one of these
gentlemen who are all we'll enough
known to be reached by just giving
the name of the city.
1t is proposed to put this proposal
on the ballot for a vote in November.
1t is claimed that the Townsendites
are rallying to the plan, not because
it is all they want, but they would
like to have the $50 month while
they are waiting for Congress to give
them something better.

than ten million workers, is appalling
The records Of the American Fedora
tion of Labor show that there were ten
million, three hundred and eighty
thousand workers unemployed during
the month Of December, 1893. The
records made up and kept by the
American Federation Of Labor show
that since 1929 the unemployed have
numbered from eight to fourteen
million continuously. During these
ten years we have experimental in
various relief measures and many or
ganizations affiliated with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor have expend-
ed millions of dollars from their
treasures in supplying relief to their
unemployed members
"If the unemployed could be accord
ed the opportunity to work in private
industry the spending of millions Of
dollars for relief purposes would
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1939-02-23

cease. This would mean that the bur
den of taxation could be reduced and
the national income increased. The
spirit and morale Of the unemployed
workers would be lifted to higher
basis.
eve are Of the opinion that the re-
sponsibility for absorbing the unem-
ployed in private industry should be
placed squarely upon the owners and
management Of private industry and
the Government. This can be done if
and when the Government, industrial
management and Labor cooperate in
full and complete way. The Execu-
tive Council of the American Fedora
ton of Labor stands ready and willing
to assist and to render all service pos
sible in the promotion of a plan which
will provide for the employment, in
private industry, for the millions who
are now idle"

Labor Studies Plan
To Settle Disputes

Hamilton o. (OLNS).-Plans to
eliminate strikes in Hamilton during
the adjustment of labor disputes are
being discussed by the local AFL
Building Trades Council.
"The Council believes that some
means can be found to keep employees
on the job while differences with their
employers are being settled" Lester
Long, president of the Council said.
President Long asserted that strikes
are detrimental to workers and en-
ployers alike. A committee has beer
named to work for the elimination of
strikes and for the adjustment of Ia
Dor differences.

LETTING GO
MARY ELIZABETH THOMSON

Mrs. Bridges and her friend, Mrs.
Mercer, were enjoying a cup of after
noon tea together when little Alice
Bridges came running in. Her cheeks
were flushed and tears stood in her
eyes. Her mother put her arms around
her.
"Why, Alice, what is the trouble :?
Why the tears?
ooh, Mummy" she sobbed, "Mrs.
Edward gave Ethel such a scolding.
We didn't stay SO very long coasting.
Ethel can't have any fun"
"Well, well, DEAR" soothed her
mother. snow you run upstairs and
wash away those tears and change
your dress"
When the little girl had gone, the
two women looked at each other and
smiled. "Poor Alice" sair Mrs. Mer-
Ger, "she takes her little friends
troubles very seriously She thinks
every mother should be as sweet tenn
pered and patient as her own."
"1m not always patient. Mrs. Ed

but the mistake she made was that
she took the job of being wife and
mother too exclusively. She never let

thing, big and little, except for her.
self. She never planned to give her.
self holiday each week, or even each
month. All her outings were business
engagements. She seemed able to get
away from her work. After her last
baby she was i'll for couple of months
and was told to rest for another month
or two. Would she listen to the doc
tor? Not she."
Mrs. Mercer took up the knitting she
had laid aside and while her fingers
worked quickly with the needles she
gazed into, the fire.

gested that she join us. She couldn't

course"
"You see," answered Mrs. Bridges,
''to Mrs. Edward, membership in clubs
meant the neglect of her home. She
had known mothers who neglected
their families to be on the front page
of Social Service; we all know mothers
of that type"

Take Care OF Your Shoes

lake Care OF ] our Shoes
Because polishing and oiIing leather
keeps it soft and pliabIe and more re-
Sistant to water, it's a good economy
rule to shine Your shoes often.
When shoes get wet, they will
quickly stretch out Of shape unless
dried promptly, but don't put them
too near hot radiators, steam pipes or
stoves, and be sure they dry out very
slowly.
Perspiration is also hard on leather.
If possible have pairs of shoes in
your wardrobe for general wear, so
that you can give one pair rest.
Stains left on shoes by oil and
grease should be removed as quickly
as possible. Gasoline and ordinary
grease solvents often spread the spot
rather than remove it. Best method is
to coat the stain with a thick solu
ton of rubber in a solvent which
evaporates quickly. Then peel off this
coating when almost dry. If necess-
airy, repeat the operation several
times. Some Of the ready prepared
cemcnts, if they are thick and dry
very fast and contain nothing but rub
Der and pure solvent, will do good
job of getting rid Of oil and grease
on shoes.
Finally, if you are interested in the
life Of your shoes, take care of their
soes and heels. They do the brunt
Of the work and are quickest to wear
out. Run down heels particularly
twist a shoe out of shape.

Do Acid Fruits and Milk Mix?

You can eat acid fruits and wash
them down with glass of milk if you
want TO with no fears that an acute
case of indigestion will follow.
Taken separately or mixed, acid
fruits and milk at the same meal
should be 10 bugaboo.
The fruits may curdle the milk, but
what Of it? Gastric juices in the pro-
cess of digestion will curdIe the milk
anyway.
The fallacy that acid fruits and
milk don't mix has no truth to it at
all.
