Columbus, Ohio.-Two bills of great
Importance to labor We're passed by
the Ohio Senate last week, and final
action on two other measures were
taken by both branches of the Gen.
eral Assembly and the bills sent to
Governor John w. Bricker for his
signature.
The House of Representatives was
to take action early this week on a
measure amending the State Institu-
tional Building Authority Act of 1888
to eliminate the question of it's consti-
tutionality, and increasing the bond
ing authority from $7,500,000 to
$10,0O0,000.
Senate Bill 313, introduced by SEN
ator Stanley G. McKie, Cincinnati,
was passed by the Senate last week
as an emergency measure by a vote
of % to 4.
The Senate bill will probably be
substituted for House Bill GIG, in
troduced by Representative E. E. Ad-
Olson, Columbus, companion meas
ure, which was on the special House
calendar for action Tuesday or We'd
| nesday.
Quick action on the bill is made
necessary by the approaching summer
! recess of the Ohio Supreme Court,
which will be asked to rule on the
constitutionality of the act as amended
by the pending legislation.
The Senate last week passed with
out dissenting vote Senate Bill SO,
introduced by Senator William Zoul,
! Cleveland, amending the prevailing
wage law to provide that the wage
rate in the nearest county shall apply
in counties where none has been es-
tablished by contracts. The law is
effective on all public construction
projects.
The House reference committee had
not assigned the bill to standing
House committee for consideration
before adjournment was reached last
Friday.
Following considerable debate, the
House of Representatives last week
concurred in Senate amendment to
House Bill 400, limiting accrued COM
pensation in modification of award
claims allowed by the commission to a
two-year period. An attempt to re-
consider the concurrence, made at the
request Of John Owens, state G. l. 0.
head, was defeated.
House Bill 400 and Senate Bill 118,
clarifying the duties of the regional
claims boards of the Industrial Com
mission, were then signed by House
Speaker William McCulloch and Lieu
tenant Governor Paul M. Herbert,
and sent to Governor Bricker for his
approval. Both bills had the support
of employer representatives and the

OPERATORS GRANT
UNION SHOP DEMAND.
MINERS GO TO WORK

Washington, D. G. (ILNS). - Two
hundred and sixty thousand men have
gone back to work in the principal
soft coal mining regions of the east.
From $4,000 to 10000 are still out of
the southern mines included in the
six operators associations which re-
fused to sign. The assent of the
middle and mountain west operators
is taken for granted, and their 10000
miners are busy.
One incident in this acceptance is
of much higher significance than many
reporters think. The Koppers group
of mines in West Virginia accepted
the agreement. The Koppers inter
ests, centering in Pennsylvania, are
very closely allied with the Mellon in
terests; and up to the present time,
the Mellon interests have been the
spearhead of union resistance in the
coal industry. Now, both Mellon and
Koppers interests have signed the
agreement.
Southern Bosses Talk
The six southern associations, with
a usual output of around 70,000,000
tons year, as compared to total
Appalachian output of 310,000,000
tons, have refused to sign. The head
of one of these associations, which
handles some 100000 tons year,
intimated that they would come to an
agreement before long. Another group
was reported to be considering the
same course, but no confirmation has
been given.
The document signed renews for
two years the former agreement, un-
der which the working week is 35
hours, and the daily base wage Sc in
the north and $3.50 in the south. In
addition, it carries the union shop pro-
vision, as follows:
''It is agreed that the United Mine
Workers of America is recognized
herein as the exclusive bargaining
agency representing the employees of
the parties of the first part (the sig
natory operators). 1t is agreed that
as a condition of employment, all en-
ployes shall be members of the United
Mine Workers of America, except in
+l,oca aya,,o Mod clo cifi cot tiopc of an1
ployment as provided in this con-
tract"
The exempted workers formerly
were foremen, clerks and executives;
but sales workers are included. A
footnote to the agreement declares
that the union has no intention of in
terfering with the rights of manage
mont

Seven Bills Filed
 On Auto Insurance
Compulsory Liability Requirements to Feature Hear
 ings-Expenses Provided in Measure for Victims
(By Democrat Legislative Reporter)

(By Democrat Legislative Reporter)
 State Capitol, Hartford, Feb. T. A hearing on seven bills setting compulsory liability insurance for owners of automobiles was schedul- ed to be held before the motor vehi- cles committee of the state legisla- ture today. Many proponents and opponents of the plan were expect ed to be in attendance.
 A bill by Rep. Milton Koskoff of Plainville has attracted the greatest interest and the hearing was ex- pected to center about 1t. The bill requires that all car owners shall carry liability insurance or post bonds with state, but that the in- surance shall carry $250-deduct- iple provision. This means that il someone is injured in an accident the owner of the automobile involv- ed would be responsible for pay

cost the city" to lay the sewers but felt that there was double charge because of the work done by the WPA.
 Alderman Kelly explained that there was no such thing as a paul per's oath" required from those seeking abatement of liens and in-
 terest fees from the aldermanic committee. He said that he was cer- tain that the aldermanic commit tee would be ready at all times to hear the petitions of citizens and that his stand in the matter was given because he felt that no amendment to the charter was ne- cessitated when the aldermen al- ready possessed power to abate the charges in reference.
 Alderman Walker, as chairman of the abatement committee, told the delegation that he had taken a banning" from the Republican, American newspaper for his com- mitteeS abatements during the past year. But, he said, the East Finders could be assured that he and his committee would vote to abate inter est charge whenever 1t appeared justified and there was no such re- quirement as taking "pauper's oaths."
 Aldermanic President Patrick M. Perriello, obviously annoyed with the opportunism of some of the board members in their vote-seeking appeals, reminded the delegation that the special meeting episode which saw Bane and Dubois pledg- ing support to the tax abatement and moratorium legislative measure was unofficial; that the aldermen had no power to act at the time. He obtained from the delegation ac- cesSion to the opinion that the aldermen were doing all that they could to support the property own-l CTS and a committee was appointed to undertake appearance before the General Assembly when, and if, the bill comes out of committee.
 $5 Foot
 Republican Aldermanic Leaderl George L. Kingston told the gather-, ing that while the assessment wcichl they seek reduced is $2.50 a front, foot, the engineering department,l ill spite of the WPA labor, estimates that sewer layouts cost the city about $5 a front foot for most sew-' CTS.
 Whether the committee from thel board of aldermen, the charter com-' mittee and the corporation counsel, will function in support of the East Enders' bill-calling for a morato-l rum of payment for two years in-ll stead of l20 days, if the assessment remains at $2.50 a front foot; call-, ing for deduction of the assessment charge-now that 1t has been deter, mined that hearings were held on the sewers, remains in question.
 The board voted to have the works board clerk submit original petitions for the sewers, in refer-l ence, and will meet week from next Monday to consider further the matter and to hear reports on the bills affecting charter changes in this city. !

 The annual report included build- ing activities, development of boys, especially the problem boy" fin- alcial report, and closed with vote of thanks to Waterburians for their continued support.
 Delinquency
 Speaking of the marked and alarming increase in delinquency and crime over the last few years, MT Johnson said that it has been difficult to offer solution toward curbing the tendency, even with many experts voicing their sugges- tions for coping with this problem. We realize that while boy is un- der the influence of proper persons or actively engaged in a worthwhile pursuit, he is out of harms way MT. Johnson declared. But does he come under the control at all times of organizations such as ours? What conditions does one find in his home, his associations, the moral stan- dards of the parents, their mental condition? All these things inf1u- ence the boy before and after he comes to the club. It is the job of all with whom he comes in contact to
