Bedtime Stories
BY Fontoine Fox
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS

A long lane leads from Farmer
Browns barnyard down to his corn
field on the Green Meadows. Very
early one morning Peter Rabbit took
1T into his funny little head to run
down that long lane. Now at a Ger
tain place beside that long lane was
a eravelly bank into which Farmer
Brown had dug for gravel to put on
the roadway near his house. As
Peter was scampering past this place
he caught sight of some one very
busy in that gravel pit. Peter STOP
ped short, then sat up to stare.
1t was Mourner the Dove whom
Peter saw. His body was q little

bigger than that of Welcome Robin,
but his slender neck, longer tail and
wings made him appear consider
ably bigger. His shape reminded
Peter at once of the pigeons up at
Farmer Browns. His back was gray
ish-brown, varying to bluish-gray.
The crown and upper parts of his
head were bluish-gray. His breast
was reddish buff, shading down into
soft buff. His bill was black and

beans his neck appeared much like
his breast, but the moment they
were touched by the jolly Little Sum
beams they seemed to be of many
colors constantly changing, which,
as you know, is called iridescence.
But it was not Mourner's appear
ance which made Peter stare; it was
what he was doing. He was walking

his feet were red. The two middle
feathers OF his tail were longest and
of the color Of his back. The other
feathers were slaty-gray with little
black bands and tipped with white.
On his wings were a few scattered
black spots, and there was one un-
der each ear. But it was the sides
of his neck which were the most
beautiful part of Mourner. When

You must be crazy. The idea of

Sick Committee
(Continued From Page One)

We are sorry that we were not able
to nominate national officers at our
last meeting. We did not receive the
notice until it was too late. We had
bur secretary send word to that effect
to Headquarters at once.
l guess our sick department has dis
banded, and we all hope it stays that
way. The last member on it was
Brother Red Sagle, but it seems he
beat the flower committee around, for
he is back at his wheel now. Superin-
tendent Tom Watt suffered serious
sick spell, but is recovering speedily
at this writing.
Our local has maintained very fine
record in it's attendance of Trade
Council meetings. We are always rep
resented by fonr or five members to
keep US posted on the doings of other
unionists.

other locals that 1875 is still going
strong. See everyone February L.

Our new president, Herb Ridgly, out
lined the progress the organization has
made and pointed out the need for CO.
operation among the men, the union
and the company, in order that our
trade may be protected and our future
more secure.
A few of the members were unable
to attend, and we regretted hearing
that the health of Huck Johnson and
Alex Veri prevented them from being
present. We are still looking forward
TO visit from the East Palestine
bowlers.
Fifteen dollars was contributed to
Labor's Silver Salute. We all hope the
drive against infantile paralysis will
be successful.
The organization committee, with
George Finley, chairman, seems to
have developed plans which will bring
results. The chairman stated at the
last meeting that the shops already
organized in sanitary must be given
some credit for creating fairer rate
of pay for the workmen in this indus
try and may prevent US from being
forced to accept laborer's wages.

Fifteen Dollars Collected In
Dimes For Ldbor's
Silver Salute

Wheeling, w. Va.-With but very
few members absent at the regular
January meeting of Local Union No.
6, George Grimm was named to lead
the local for the next six months of
this year. Edward Kren was chosen
vice president; Edward Fillmer, finan-
cial secretary; William Pritchard, re-
cording secretary; Edward Reineke,
treasurer; William Slaney, inside
guard; Wilfred LaRue, inspector;
George Seamon, Stanley Noble and
William Strautman, trustees; and
George Grimm, statistician.
In spite of the extremely large at
tendance and very heated discussions
on many subjects, all business matters
were taken care of in very satisfac-
tory manner.
President Grimm named one men,
ber from each department to solicit
dimes for the infantile paralysis fund,
Labor's Silver Salute to President
Roosevelt on his birthday. Fifteen dol
lars was pledged by the members and
check for that amount was forward
ed to Washington. 1t is the opinion of
many members here that this dreaded
disease can be stamped out by the CO.
operation of the American people with
in the next few years.
Ten new workers were admitted to
the local when they appeared at the
last meeting to be initiated. Efforts
are being made to have the shop or
ganized 100 per cent within the next
couple of weeks.-O. C. 6.

Hull Sees Purude
In MONEYS S Honor
Vice President Is Kept Busy
BY Potters In Sunny
California

Vice President Frank Hull has been
out here on the west coast for some
time, now, but he has been busy every
minute. The boys in Los Angeles, Rich
mond, San Jose, and Stockton have
kept him pretty much on the go.
The day Mooney was pardoned, the
second vice president, John Faulkner
and Joe Sargent were in San Fran
cisco to see the demonstration. More
than 10000 labor sympathizers
marched through packed streets in
greeting to the man who had served
% years of trumped-up life SEN
tence.
Mooney told the people Of his life
in prison, proclaimed his innocence and
stated the rest of his days would be
given over to the working people and
the setting free of his friend Billings.
The 56-year old Mooney has refused
movie contract and is now resting
in San Francisco with his faithful
wife, Rena.
The Standard started the new year
with four days week, which is one
day improvement over the last four
months of 1888. This made the going
pretty hard for our members.
Brother John Faulkner is serving on
the grand jury at the present time.
Neil Chaplow, of East Palestine, is
employed here on the coast and likes
It.
We anticipate seeing some of our
eastern members out here for the
Golden Gate Expo. The fair opens in
February on Treasure Island and will
be well worth the trip across the coun-
try. We are asking all those who in
tend coming to the pageant to drop
in on Local Union 80 for visit. You
are always more than welcome.

The slate of the w. S. George Bowl
ing team is still clean; the record re-
manned untarnished as the rollers
dropped another one to the Butter and
Egg men from Petersburg the other
Tuesday night. Bill Harvey bought
some new bowling shoes and predicts
a win for the club the next time out.
From recent reports, perhaps he
should purchase a new deck of cards,
too. We hear he tossed off six of seven
games at the last meeting of the city's
euchre club. One of the games was a
whitewash at that.
Brother Harry McNutt has request
ed withdrawal card since his promo
tion to inspector in the green room.
The information bureau at the shop,
composed Of Miller, Hall and Cragle
is very obliging. Ask them anything.
And if you are in a mood for asking,
ask Brother Paul Shinn if he has that
new alarm clock as yet. Seems he
awakened with start last week to see
the hands of his faithful timepiece
pointing to five Of seven. Arousing
Mrs. Shinn they scurried about in a
furry to get to the shop only to find
the correct time to be three-ffty. The
44-hour law had him, SO he went back
home for coffee.
We are all pulling for big year in
East Palestine and hope the plant has
some real orders. Keep in mind the
meetings Of the local. Let's all see
each other next Monday night.

Amendments To

2. Definite but adequate time limits
be established within which the Board
must act on petitions for elections and
on complaints of unfair labor prac-
tees. MANY A. F. of J.. unions charge
that now the Board deliberately delays
acting on their petitions and expedites
action on the petitions of rival groups
to further the interests of such hostile
groups.)
Court Review of Decisions Provided
33. Decisions of the Board in repre-
sentation cases which cannot now be
appealed because of legal technicalities
will be made renewable in the courts.
Files Secrecy Lifted
a. Secrecy of the Boards files must
be lifted to the extent that interested
parties may be permitted to examine
material on which decisions are made.
Subpoena Rules Liberalized
5. Rules respecting the issuance of
subpoenas be liberalized
Protection From Trial Examiner
Prejudice
6. Affdavits Of prejudice may be
filed within certain limits against trial
examiners considered unfair by any
party in case.
Freedom of Speech for Employers
7. Employers may express opinions
on matters of interest to their en-
ployes or the public provided that such
opinions are not accompanied by acts
of discrimination or threats thereof.
(The Supreme Court in the Consoli-
dated Edison case challenged the au-
thority of the Board to scuttle the
rights of free speech guaranteed by
the Constitution.)
Employers Given Right to File
Election Petitions
8. The Board may investigate petit
tions for an employe election filed by
an employer and order such an cleo
ton. (This provision is contained in
the New York State Labor Relations
Act and has worked out successfully
there. At present the Board arbitrar-
lily refuses to entertain such petitions
even though there is nothing in the
MIRA which would close the door to
such action.)
The foregoing outline has dealt with
the major proposals included in the
Federation's amendments. All of them
will be discussed and analyzed more
fully when representatives of the
American Federation of Labor appear
before the appropriate committees in
both Houses of Congress at public
hoa rings

would be designated by the Admins
tration, subject to approval of the
Governor.
Each of the three "Board Of Re-
view" members would be paid $4,000
per year, and would serve six-year
terms after original appointments of
two, four and six years. One would be
a representative of employees, another
a representative Of employers, and the
third would represent the public.
They would be empowered to ap-
point secretary, hear appeals on dis
puted claims, adopt, amend or rescind
rules of procedure, appoint referees,
subject to approval of the Governor,
administer oaths and compel attend
ance Of witnesses.
Members of the present Unemploy-
ment Compensation Commission are
paid salaries of $4,000 per year, while
members Of the Advisory Council are
paid only when attending regularly
called meetings, usually twice month.
Both measures also amend the pres
ent unemployment compensation law
by permitting employers the right to
appeal awards made to claimants for
unemployment compensation benefits.
The present law permits appeal by en-
ployes only.
Reorganization of the administration
of the unemployment compensation
law would be effective ten days after
the signature of Governor Bricker had
been affixed to the bill Although in
troduced as an emergency measure,
provisions of the proposal stipulate
that it shall be effective ten days after
| its enactment.
Another measure, House Bill No.
! 1T, introduced by Representative Den
yer A. Ford, Fulton county farmer,
would amend the unemployment COM
pensation law by increasing from three
to eight the number of employees nec-
essary to make an employer subject
to contributions to the unemployment
compensation fund.
Should this measure be enacted into
law, the number of employers subject
to the law would be reduced from ap-
proximately 10000 to 17,OO0, and an
estimated 100000 workers would be
removed from eligibility to participate
in benefits during periods of total OF
partial unemployment.
