told you of the efforts that the Or
ganization was putting forth to bring
about a reduction of the hours of
labor in over-the-road trucking. |
told you how hard that committee
worked trying to surmount the diff
culties they were confronted with.
This year they were going to take a
final vote upon this question.
"President Tobin finally consented
to go to Geneva, at great personal
sacrifice, and served as member of
that committee. For days and days
they worked, and did not conclude
their work until the last moment.
Finally they did submit report which
was considered by the conference.
"When they submitted the results
of their deliberations on the question
of over-the-road trucking, the Con-
ference adopted a convention that
provided for forty-eight hour work
with rest periods for drivers In gen.
eral it raised the standards for truck
ers in other parts of the world to a
considerable degree.
at was very interesting to hear the
discussions in the large committee
that was considering this question,
also the discussions on the floor of
the Conference. 1t was gratifying
to note the large vote that was re-
ceived for the passage of this con-
vention that means so much for the
safety and the protection of the men
who man these trucks.
Vocational Training and Apprentice
Training Report Was Promoted by
Woods
"The committee on which Mr..
Woods served was that of Technical
and Vocational Education and APP
prentice Training You would not
imagine that there could be opposi-
tion in any part of the world to the
adoption of provisions for technical
and vocational education and appren-
tice training. Yet in that committee
there were th1snaa IS SWsho objected. When
the report wa; finally submitted to
the conference, it was unanimously
adopted.

$9,O0O,OC0 short of the $12,OO0,0OO
worth of man hours displaced in the
Pottery Industry on a S2,OO0,OOO deal
of Japanese pottery imports.
"From the standpoint of man hours
lost and displaced by japanese manu-
factured products" concluded Eble,
"America has never had a favorable
trade balance with Japan, no matter
how much Japan has bought from US
in the past"

termed Ohio's present "Rule Three"
which is the states benefit formula
drafted on that principle, completely
unsatisfactory"
He declared that, Both the Ohio
law and Rule Three attempt to en-
brace both the full-time weekly wage
and the straight average weekly wage
formulas, and do bad job of it."
"Rule Three" drafted by the I'm
employment Compensation Commits
sion approved by the Federal Social
Security Board and adopted by
Administrator Atkinson, establishes
methods of computing wages and
benefits, designed to take into consid-
Grafton every recognized method of
wage payment and based on the "full-
time week" principle.

ployment compensation fund have
been consistently opposed by organ
lied labor.
Solvency Of the fund is adequately
protected by the Ohio law, which per-
mits the Administrator to shorten the
l6 week benefit period and decrease
benefit amounts if the fund is sub
jected to severe drain during long
depression period.
Any concern for the solvency of the
Ohio unemployment compensation
fund is apparently dissipated by Adj
ministrator Atkinson in his speech, in
which he pointed out that, "Ohio has
built up a reserve fund of 1913 million
dollars, and it is now climbing at the
rate of 25 to 35 million dollars year
over the outgo. The maximum indi-
Gated drain in any one year is 50 mil
lion dollars, and so today'S reserve is
more than ample cushion against d
threc-year severe depression drain"
Rather Inconsistency with his rec
commended charges, Administrator At
kinson told the Chamber of Com
liberalizc its benefit payments, citing
the fact that Ohio's average total un-
employment compensation benefit is
| $lO.25 a week for maximum Of Is
weeks, while ''we accept without much
protest" the idea that WPA workers
arc entitled TO SIG week family sub
Sistenco level.
The Ohio administrators said he OPP
posed the "fuil-time weekly wage"
formula because it opens the door TO
claimants drawing larger amount in
weekly benefits than they actually
earned on an average as wages.
Labor officials discounted this
reason as being too infrequent and
improbable to be recognized as fac
tor of sufficient magnitude to neccs-
state changing principle of the law,
written to provide insurance for the
worker during periods Of slack OF TO-
tai unemployment.

Buy American To
(Continued From Page One)

"On the other hand, every Japanese
product imported into
the United States displaces from five
to ten times the dollar value of man
hours in America that would be en-
ployed in producing those things had
they been made in the U. S. A. in
stead of Japan. In other words, 81
will buy from twelve to twenty five
man hours Of labor in Japan; whereas,
the same 81 here in America will only
buy from one and one-half to four
hours of labor, according to the indus
try involved.
"Let US take an example in pot
tery," said Eble Say. we import S2,-
100000 worth of Japanese pottery.
The manufacture of pottery all over
the world is practically the same and
has been for the past two thousand
years. Therefore, the percentage of
labor costs is practically the same the
world over, i. e. 900 to $50. We can
assume that there is labor charge
of $1,2O0,00O in $2,000,0C0 worth of
Japanese pottery imported into the
United States. But, let us see how
many japanese man hours of labor
are involved in that $1,200,O0O worth
of Japanese wages.
"The wage rate of potters in Japan
ranges from four to six cents an hour.
Let us take the highest rate and di-
vide that &c into the 81 200, 0,O0O-we
have 2O,OOO,0O0 man hours of Jap
anese labor. Now, those 20,OOO,0OO
man hours of Japanese labor imported
into the United States displaces a
like amount Of man hours in the
American pottery industry. By the
same token, the wages lost to Ameri-
can workers is not based on &c al
hour, but 60c an hour, so that the to-
tai loss to American workers in Amer
ican pottery plants would be approx
mately $12,O00,000.

Moore's Address
Much Enjoyed

A gathering at the Art Center,
Federal Art Project, WPA, last
Thursday night heard a splendid
informal talk by Edward Moore
on Bird Life and Conservation as
related particularly to Key West
and the Lower Keys.
Mr.. Moore is the resident rep
resentative of the National Audi
bon Society and has been engag-
ed in Key West since 1888 in an
educational program with the OBJ
ject of bringing back to Key West
the many beautiful birds with
which it was formerly blessed.
The most glorious of all Ameri-
can birds, the Great White Heron,
breeds nowhere but on the Flor
ida Keys. 1t has been wantonly
killed off to such an extent that
now the known numbers left are
so few that a hurricane such as
that of 1885 would certainly wipe
them out entirely, making them
extinct for all time, like the Wild
Pigeon. Just this one tragic ex-
ample gives an idea of the great
work Mr.. Moore has started
among the people in Key West,
it has been shown.
He told the gathering that
this Fall there will be organized
a local chapter of the Audubon
Society to carry forward this
work which is not only humane,
but which will add immeasurably
to the beauty of Key West in its
lovely tropical setting, with its
Towering gardens"
MIR. Moore's talk was illustrat-
ed with a collection of pictures
loaned for exhibition by the
Audubon Society of New York,
An oil painting of the Great
White Heron, by Peterson, and
some fine examples of Audubon
Prints in full color make up the
exhibition, which will be on view
at the Art Center until August
20.

IN MEMoRIAM

In memory of my beloved
brother, John F. Busto, who died
on August Is, 1884:
John, you are gone, but not for
gotten;
It was not the will of God for
you to leave us yet;
1t was the will of sinful men,
who destroyed your body,
But your soul, they could not.
For Christ said in His Beatitudes,
Blessed are those that suffer
persecution for Justice sake, for
Theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
The guilty ones will never enjoy
! earth nor heaven;
They viii roam this world in NOR
tai sin awaiting punishment on
themselves, or their children,
While you, the glory Of heaven,
enjoy.
John, the day that 4 meet you
face to face in our Eternal home
will be a most glorious day.
