proper though they may be, are such
that I can no longer indulge in the
luxury of being an officer and a di-
rector.
This specific time is we'll suited
for my resignation. The company

cient group of officers and person.

By uO Coins In Social LEGISLATION

Washington, D. C.-The wide activi-
ties and many achievements of the In
ternational Labor Organization Of the
League of Nations for working men
and women throughout the entire
world are stressed in a summary Of
the work of the Organization during
1888 made public by James Wilson,
counselor of the l. l.. O., through the
Washington Branch of the Interna-
tional Labor Office.
Mr.. Wilson, who was formerly
president of the Pattern Maker S
League of America and a vice presi-
dent of the American Federation
of Labor, has been labor counselor
for the International Labor Office for
a number Of years, devoting much IF
his time to acquainting the affiliates
of the American Federation Of Labor
with the procedure and activities of
the l. L. o.
The text of Mr.. Wilson's statement
follows:
Despite the political crisis, the ac-
tivity of the International Labor Or
ganization still further increased dur
ing the year 1888. Its June Confer
ence, in which representatives of fifty
nations and many European and over
seas Ministers of Labor took part,
was one of the best-attended and most
interesting which have met at Geneva.

"On the economic front, the use of

The ruthless and brutal activities of

Sfufe Labor Act
Is Sidefrucked In

(By Ohio Labor News Service)

Columbus, o. - Labor's Chatting
average" stood at zero-minus in the
93rd General Assembly last week as
the Legislature started it's third month
Of sessions.
The sidetracking of the proposed
state labor relations act to a three
member subcommittee of the House
Labor Committee, where it was con-
ceded the bill would die an unnatural
and unrecorded death, marked the de-
feat of the second major labor bill in
this Committee.
Previously the Committee "indefi-
nitely postponed" further hearings on
the proposed state wage-hour law,
patterned after the Federal Fair La
Dor Standards Act Of 1888, without a
record vote Of the Committee.
Although labor was successful in
securing amendments to the unem-
ployment compensation ripper bill
which modified to some extent it's or
iginal vicious terms, the bill in its
final form removed labor's voice from
the administration of the law, gave
employers the right to delay payment
of benefits pending hearing Of appeals
to claims allowed, and established de-
cisive power of local appeals in one
man instead of three representatives
as in the original act.

Requests of Governments for the
technical assistance of the Internati-
onal Labor Office to prepare or revise
their social legislation by taking into
account the results achieved or ex-
perience gained by other countries,
were more numerous than in previous
years.
Finally, the International Labor Or
ganization has carried on it's regular
work of research and information in
all fields, continuing to study OBJ
jectively the new problems every

industry.

Labor Continues
To Battle Against
Ohio Stofe Police
Temporary Standstill Won
BY Labor Spokesman
In Committee

Columbus, O. (OLNS).-A measure
proposing to give the Ohio Highway
Patrol full police powers, one Of three
introduced in the 93rd General AS
sembly, was fought to a temporary
standstill in the Highways Commit
tee of the House Of Representatives
last week by the objections of labor
spokesmen.
Sponsored by Representative Ben
jamin F. Reading Of Lucas County,
the measure contains no provisions for
the exclusion of the proposed state
police force from participation in la
Dor disputes. 1t is identified as House
Bill No. 462.
President Michael ]. Lyden of the
Ohio State Federation Of Labor told
the Committee that the measure was
a "vicious piece Of legislation" and
that labor was unalterably opposed to
it. His objections were echoed by
Frank Snyder, representing the Amer
lean Federation of State, County and
Municipal Employees.
In answer to question by Repre-
sentative Reading, who asked how la
bor was involved or affected by the
bill to the extent that it should op-
pose its enactment, Thomas J. Don

State Federation of Labor, declared:

Voices Fear Over Inrouds OF
German Products While
japanese Fade
DUFFY SHAPES PLAN
N. B. O. P. Works on Propo-
sition for Quick Advance
ment Of Movement

Meeting in the Brotherhood Hall
last night, members of the East Iiv-
erpool "Buy American" committee
stated that the sale Of foreign-made
goods in the city has steadily de-
creased since the joint meeting with
the business men Of the community
some weeks ago.
Although it was agreed that the
goods from Japan, long a great men
ace to the pottery industry Of Ameri-
ca, had almost ceased to exist on the
shelves of local business establish
ments, fear was felt because of the
recent inroads made by German made
products. One member stated the low
er price stores Of the city were hand
ling some of this merchandise.
Chairman George Salsberry an
nounced that President James NJ. Duffy
Of the National Brotherhood Of Op-
erative Potters, with the aid Of the
prominent labor leaders, has been
working diligently on a proposition
for the quick advancement Of the Buy
American movement; one which will
aid the pottery industry tremendously
when brought to a successful con-
clusion.
Although Chairman Salsberry was
able to sketch brief outline of the
plans to the committee, it is impossible
to make them public here until a
later date.
The many benefits that have thus
far been credited to the movement
and those to be expected in the future,
if the drive continues to gain momen-
tum throughout the country, were dis
cussed by the members present.
That the movement is constantly
finding favor in different communities
is an undeniable fact. The proposed
meetings in the larger cities, which
will be backed by the American Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor, will undoubtedly
bring many additional ardent advo-
Gates into the fold. The members Of
the committee are unable to under
stand how any American workingman
can be anything but spirited sup
porter Of the drive once he is acquaint-
ed with the movement. To the men,
bers, the Buy American movement
is the only possible road to prosperity.
