Wage Increase Gained
In Childs Restaurants

New York, N. Y. (AFLWNS).-Of-
fcials of Chain Service Restaurant
Employees Union, Local No. AZ, an A.
F. of l.. affiliate, announced that the
union members had ratified new two
year agreement with the Childs Com
pany calling for wage increase
totaling $4,000 in the first year with
a provision that permits either side to
reopen wage discussions at the end
of nine months. If no agreement is
reached at that time the dispute is to
be submitted to arbitration.
The agreement averted a threatened
strike of 5000 employees in restaur-
ants operated by the Childs Company.
Robert G. Mcdonald, secretary
treasurer Of the union, said the i'm
mediate wage increase would be linz
tied to about 1900 kitchen workers
representing the lowest-paid group of
Child's employees. The pay Of these
workers will be raised from SIS to
SIG a week. The 48-hour week is re-
tanned in the new agreement.

Preliminary Poy
Quiz In Beoufy
PurIor Industry
Survey Starts Today In Ak
ron At Request of Unions
Secretary
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

\Dy ONlO LdDOr NEWS SeTVlCc)
Columbus, O.-Preliminary investi-
cation into the wages paid women and
minors in the beauty parlor industry
was started October IL in Akron by
Assistant Industrial Relations Di-
rector Nelson Hovey and Minimum
Wage Superintendent James P. Walsh,
Jr.
Petitions asking for the survey
were filed with Industrial Relations
Director George A. Strain two weeks
ago by Miss Dolly Phillips, secretary
of Beauticians' Local Union No. 105-A,
Akron.
Director Strain ordered his assist
ants to question beauty parlor en-
ployes in number of the larger cities
Of the state to determine if "unreason-
able and oppressive" wages are being
paid.
If the preliminary investigation dis
closes the necessity of establishing a
fair minimum wage standard under
the Ohio minimum wage law, an ap-
peal to the state emergency board for
funds to make complete survey will
then be made by Director Strain.
Assistant Director Hovey said last
week that the preliminary investiga-
tion will be made in Akron, Youngs-
town, Cleveland, Toledo, Cincinnati,
Columbus and possibly other metro
politan cities.
Although petitions asking for a
survey Of the wages paid office work
ers were filed by Columbus Office
Workers Local Union No. 21427 at
the same time the Beauticians' request
was filed with Director Strain, Assist
ant Director Hovey said there are
two reasons for proceeding first with
the beauty parlor survey.
"First, because conditions there de-
mand more immediate attention and
second, because many beauty parlor
operators are evading the female hour
law by attempting to make their en-
ployes independent contractors" Mr..
Hovey said.
The scope of the office worker sur
vey will necessitate considerable study
to determine the best procedure in OBJ
tanning the necessary wage informa-
ton, the state official said.
Workers will be interviewed in the
Akron survey at branch Offices of the
Industrial Commission in the United
Building. Unionists interested in ex-
tending the application of the mini
mum wage law to the beauty parlor
industry will be given ample oppor-
tunity to present their case, Hovey
said.

by this convention"
The report of the Executive Coun-
Gil on the &C. |. o. and Peace Nego-
tiations," which the convention ap-
proved and ordered printed in PAM
phlet form, reviewed the developments
which took place in the controversy
between the A. f. of l.. and the G. |.
O. during the past year, including the
resumption of peace negotiations in
February at the request of President
Roosevelt, the refusal of Chairman
John J.. Lewis Of the C. l. o. to con-
tinue the conferences after their tenn
porary adjournment on April 5th at
the request of Lewis himself, and the
subsequent determination of the c.. |.
O. leadership to raid the building
trades already thoroughly organized
in unions affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor.
In concluding its report, the Ex-
ecutive Council said:
"Thus, the Executive Council sub
mits in chronological order the de-
velopments which took place in the
relationship of the American Fedora
tion of Labor to the dual, rebel c. l.
o. movement, and in all the efforts
which have been put forth to conclude
peace with the C. |. O. which would
provide for return Of the C. |. O..
organizations to the American FEEDER
alton Of Labor.
"The facts set forth in this report
are supported by the records which
have been made. We must leave to
the honest, sincere and calm determi-
nation Of the membership of the
American Federation of Labor and of
working men and women of the ma
ton, the question as to who is respon-
sible for the origination Of the divis-
ion within the ranks of labor and for
its continuation in a most aggravated
and destructive form.
"Our Committee still stands, cloth
ed with authority to function, ready
to resume negotiations when it is ac-
corded an opportunity to do so. We
have opened the door Of the American
Federation of Labor wide and COM
pletely. We have invited those who
left the American Federation of La
Dor to return; we have urged them to
come back home and settle differences,
honest and fair way. In doing this
we have been inspired by a genuine
desire to establish here in America a
solid, united, labor movement through
which the economic, social and indus
trial interests Of the workers of the
nation can be fully and completely
served"

Urge Adoption Of
Child Labor Low
Renew Campaign to Secure
Ratification In Twenty
States
By President James NJ. Duffy, First
Vice President E. L. Wheatley and
John O'Malley.

By President James NJ. Duffy, First
Vice President E. L. Wheatley and
John O'Malley.
Cincinnati, Ohio.-Confronted with
the facts that only twenty-eight States
have ratified the proposed Child La
Dor Amendment to the Federal Con-
stitution, with affirmative action by
thirty-six States necessary to make
the proposal part of our fundamental
law, the annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor in
session here urged that the Fedora
tion resume its campaign in the neg
ative States to secure the favorable
action of eight more states necessary
to bring the affirmative vote up to
| the required thirty-siX.
Pointing out that during the past
year Massachusetts and Tennessee
refused to ratify the amendment, the
Executive Council made this comment
on the action Of the Bay State:
'The Massachusetts House of Rep
resentatives for the fifteenth time in
as many years refused to ratify the
amendment by roll call vote of 1875
to 13. 1t seems remarkable that
Massachusetts, which has always ad-
vertised itself for it's humanitarian
principles that would protect children
being exploited in industry"
Turning to the question of whether
State that had previously refused
to approve the amendment has the
right to reconsider it's action and vote
affrmatively, and whether the lapse
of time since Congress submitted the
amendment to the several States in
1924 prevented it's being considered
now, the Executive Councils report
said:
"The fact that the Supreme Court
decided against the questions raised
by Kansas and Kentucky takes away
from the opponents of the Amend
ment all excuses for not getting it
ratified. Kentucky appealed to the
Supreme Court Of the United States
that as the Kentucky Legislature had
previously rejected the Amendment
it had no power to ratify. 1t also
claimed that Is years had passed
since the Amendment was submitted
to the states and that this was an un-
reasonable time. The Supreme Court
refused to concur"
After reviewing the situation as
revealed by the Councils report the
convention noted with interest the
action of the Supreme Court on this
question:" and expressed 'the opin-
ion that this action should have a
beneficial and stimulating effect on the
workers in the States who have not
enacted the Child Labor Amendment" !"
adding:
"We urge the State Federation in
those States as we'll as all organized
workers cooperating with their State
Federations of Labor to seek the sup
port of all organizations and citizens
in appealing to their legislatures for
the immediate enactment of a Child
Labor Amendment so that this amend
ment will become part of the Constitu-
ton of the United States"

A CHANCE TO HELP
LUCIA MALLORY

Hilda Brennan was sitting on her
front porch when | was walking by
one evening.
Wont you come up, Lucia?" she
called Hospitality. "It's been long
time since I've had good visit with
YOU"
AS / accepted the invitation and sat
down beside my friend, / noticed that
her right hand was awkwardly swath-
ed in gauze bandage.
"Why, Hilda, what happened to your
hand?" ] inquired. "You must have
hurt it badly"
ooh no." Hilda, replied, lowering
her voice as she turned to look into
the house, "the fact is, | burned it
just little when / was starting to
wash the dinner dishes. ! could EARLY
have gone on with my work, but Jane
was so solicitous and wanted so much
to help me that let her wrap up my
hand and finish the dishes all by her
self. They won't be very thoroughly
done, but / can look them over when
use them"
Just then six-year-old Jane came
out of the house smiling with the sat-
isfaction Of achievement. 81 washed
all the dishes for you, Mother" she
declared, 'and put them away, too.
Julia and Beth want me to come out

You'll call me if your hand hurts or
you want anything, won't you?"

ing at her daughter. "My hand is
very comfortable, and Pm having a
nice visit with Miss Mallory. 1t will
be time for you to go to bed in half
an hour"
"All right, Mother, I'll come in when
you call me-" Jane skipped away to
join her playmates.
"How wise you are, Hilda, to let
Jane feel that you need her help"
Il wasn't always as wise as that,
Lucia the little girls mother con-
fessed. Il used to send Jane out to
play when she wanted to help me. 1t
seemed too much bother to teach her
bungling little fingers how to do the
things that | could do so easily and
quickly myself. Then, before long |
noticed that my daughter wasn't con-
tented to say at home. She kept ask
ing to go over to a neighbor's house
to playa house that was not nearly
SO sunny and attractive and well-kept
as mine. There were no children there,
So ii DlIzzled mo
Zone day l went over there and
found Jane standing on a kitchen
chair rolling out bit of cooky dough
with huge rolling pin. A good deal
was on her face and hands and the
part that was left on the board look
ed sticky and not very clean, but Jane
was having delightful time.
"'See my cookies, Maman she ex-
claimed. Mrs. Storrs says | may take
you some when they are done
II let her stay to finish her baking,
but decided then and there that my
daughter should not have to go away
from home to have good times like
that. Now she always helps me with
my baking, and she is careful to see
that her hands are spotlessly clean
when We begin.
"Jane does things surprisingly well,
too" her mother went on proudly. "a
six-year-old is not ready for any pro-
longed effort, of course, but helping
Mother is a privilege that no little
girl should ever be denied. | am
ashamed that l ever though it too
much trouble"
