your weight you will be pleased to
hear about a new type of bathroom
scale that folds up when not being
used. With a little unit of this sort
installed in your bathroom you can
still conveniently perform the daily
weighing operation without having
something around the floor to trip
over in bare feet.
This outfit is concealed in a metal
cabinet built into the wall. The
cabinet is 1lA inches wide, 1917
inches high and 2s4 inches deep, so
it doesn't require much of an open
ing to take 1t. Therefore, with the
scale in the closed position the base
acts as an attractive cover which is
flush with the wall. When you want
to weigh yourself you pull down on
the convenient handle, which also
acts as a small base, and the scale
swings out. To prevent its crashing
to the floor, springs have been pro-
vlded on either side.

|DENY U.S.. GRANTS TO
OREGON, LABOR ASKS
SOCIAL SECURITY BID.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-A. F.
of L. and C. l. o. have joined in a
battle for all labor before the Social
Security Board. They asked the board
to refrain from certifying the Oregon
Unemployment Act on the ground that
the anti-labor act passed by initiative
at the last election, had deprived that
state of the right to federal grants
under the Social Security Act.
1t will be remembered that the re-
dictionaries of the three Pacific Coast
states campaigned to the limit for
laws which virtually would stop strikes
and tie the hands of labor unions. In
Washington and California, the scheme
was overwhelmingly defeated. In
Oregon, it carried; and the result is a
legal fight that unquestionably will
be carried to the federal courts.
yellow Dog" Seen Legalized
The A. F. of L. was represented at
the hearing by Joseph A. Padway, the
Oregon State Federation of Labor by
B. A. Green, and the C. l. o. by Lee
Pressman. They agreed that the in
itiative anti-labor law practically
made labor unions unlawful in Ore
gon; and nullifed the Norris-La Guar
dia anti-injunction act and the Ma
tional Labor Relations Act, as we'll as
the Social Security Act. They said
that it had taken the state back to
the days of 1906, when it was a con-
spiracy to form labor union.
Padway said that the new Oregon
law had once more 'legalized the rep
rehensible yellow dog contract" ane
that by this law, "Oregon has taker
| itself out of the nation" Pressmar
| said that the law had "redefined labor
disputes" so as to make legitimate
activities unlawful, and virtually elm
mated the right to strike.
Oregon May Lose Million
The attack by the labor attorney:
strikes straight at the financial ques
ton. The federal government turn:
back to state 80 per cent of the pay
roll tax paid by employers for unem
ployment compensation in that state
and an added sum for administrator
expenses.
Oregon will lose nearly a million
dollars if the Social Security Boar
fails to certify the Oregon Unemploy
ment Act because of this new law

FARM PRODUCTS
in new DEMAND

Washington, d. C. (ILNS). - In
creased industrial activity and gains
in consumer purchasing power are
bringing improvement in consumer
demand for farm products, the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics reports.
The bureau said at is probable that
there will be continued improvement
in consumer demand during the next
few months even if there is no addi-
tional increase in industrial activity"
The sharp rise in industrial produc-
tion in the last half of 1888 was said
to be result of increases in the output
of automobiles, textiles, and other con-
sumer goods. A marked pickup in
building activity was cited, but the
bureau said "the general improvement
i'm the business situation has not yet
been reflected in any large expansion
of other capital goods"
Discussing the possibility of slow
ing down of industrial activity in COM
ing months, it was stated that "oper-
ations in the automobile and steel in
dustries show evidence of approaching
the limit of immediate expansion
that ''little or no further increase in
these important lines can be looked
for during the next several months. .
The bureau sees in the foreign sit
uation continuation of IAN unusual
degree of uncertainty" United States
exports of agricultural products dur
ing the seasonally heavy months OF
September and October were "disap-
pointing" the quantity index for Oc-
tober standing at 62 per cent of pre-
war, as compared with 80 per cent in
October, 1887, and "a per cent in 1886
The decline was principally in exports
of cotton.

UTW HEAD ACTS
TO SEVER BONDS
WITH Clio OUTFIT

Washington, D. C. NS).-Acting
to set up the United Textile Workers
of America as an organization free of
affiliation with the Congress for In
dustrial Organizations. Francis j..
German, president of the Textile
Workers, served formal notice on
James Starr, secretary-treasurer of
the u. T. w., to move all property of
the information union in his possession
from New York to Washington.
President German told Secretary
Starr that he was proceeding in ac-
cordance with court decision which
left the United Textile Workers as the
only lawfully constituted body in the
textile field. He reminded Starr that
the last national convention of the
union directed the international office
be established in Washington.
The notice to Secretary Starr fol-
lowed closely on President Gorman's
action in notifying the 700 local unions
of the U. T. w. that the Textile Work
ers' Organizing Committee, C. l. O.
agent, no longer governs them, and
that the u. T. w. constitution must
govern their conduct and organiza-
tional work His letter laid the ground
work for an early convention of the
union under the constitution.
Court Ruling Brings Crisis
1t is highly probable that the con-
vention, when held, will decide on re-
affiliation with the American Fedora
tion of Labor, of which it was MEM
Der for 35 years.
German, who has opened offices at
81 Carpenters Building, Washington,
declared the situation in the textile
| union field had been brought to crisis
demanding immediate action by the
decision of the Superior Court in
Providence, R. l., which declared the
contract between the U. T. w. and the
C. /. O. invalid and ordered U. T. W.
funds returned to the U. T. w.
"That decision" said Mr.. German,
"eliminated the Textile Workers. Or
ganizing Committee from the field
T. w. o. C. was set up by the contract
The contract is invalid. Consequently
it's creature, T. w. o. c., ceases to
exist. Manifestly there must be a
basic change in the policy of the
United Textile Workers, in order to
bring about unified movement, end
| ing the confusion and dissatisfaction
growing out of 7. w. O. c. activities
and it's dissolution by court decision.

tional functions of the presidents of

der to make possible the development
of constructive program and united
movement. Headquarters of the in
ternational, as directed by our last
convention, will be in Washington anc
all unions are directed to hencefortf
deal only with the international unior
headquarters under my direction ane
administration. My letter, in the
hands of all local unions today, advises
them to be prepared for an early con
vention of the United Textile Work
ers, which is, under the circumstances
a necessity"
