Author Of Measure Declares
Opponents Have the
Better Arguments
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

(By Ohio Labor News Service)
Columbus, O.-United opposition of
sign manufacturers, bill board COM
panies, farm organizations and rep
resentatives of organized labor, in
cluding Miss Clara Green, daughter
of President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor, last
week smothered measure before the
House Judiciary Committee which pro-
posed strict regulation of roadside ad-
vertising.
Gasping from barrage of questions
directed by committee members at OBJ
jectionable features of the bill when
representatives of women's clubs ap-
peared the previous week in support
of the measure, the bills demise was
definitely certain when opponents
overfiowed the hearing room last week.
Opposition to the measure was di-
rected by Majority Floor Leader j..
Harry McGregor, Coshocton, who act
ed as master of ceremonies and intro
duced those who urged defeat of the
bill.
Two manufacturers told the COM
mittee that their annual payrolls of
100000 and $4,000 would be dras-
tically cut or eliminated altogether if
the bill was enacted into law.
Miss Green, speaking as the repre-
sentative Of the Coshocton Central La
Dor Union, termed the measure "dic-
tatorial' and declared it would further
increase unemployment.
Labor leaders opposing the bill in
cluded Richard Cavanaugh, represent
ing the Bill Posters Union, told the
Committee that enactment of the
measure would throw 50 per cent of
the membership Of his Union out of
employment; John f. Breidenbach,
vice president Of the Ohio State Build
ing and Construction Trades Council,
and Oliver Myers, secretary of the To-
ledo Building Trades Council
Representative William Eirick ,
Cleveland, author of the bill, watched
the death struggles of his measure un-
der the opponents attack and told the
committee that he had offered the bill
in good faith, but admitted that op-
ponents seemed to be more numerous
than proponents and had presented
better arguments.
On motion of Representative Ralph
Marshall, Muskingum county, the
Committee indefinitely postponed fur
ther consideration of the bill.

Historical Facts
of East Liverpool
First White Wore Produced
In 1873 By K. T. &K.
BY William J. Glover, l., u. "a

Dy w uAONVIS LIZ " SAk
East Liverpool was first settled by
Thomas Fawcett about 1899. The
name of st. Clair was given to the
village after the township in which it
was then situated, but it was called
Fawcettstown for many years.
In 1880 postoffice was established
with the name of East Liverpool to
distinguish it from Liverpool in Me-
dina county. From this time on the
town gradually until in 1884 the Will
age of East Liverpool was incorpor-
ated.
The first pottery was established in
1910 by James Bennett who manufac-
tured yellow ware from the clay dis
covered in the vicinity. Financial
backing was given Mr.. Bennett by
Nathan kearns and Ben1sldin Harker.
A little later the George S. Harker
& Co. plant was established, but it
was not until 1862 when Congress i'm
posed a tariff of forty per cent on i'm
ported earthenware, which resulted in
giving a new impetus to the industry,
that any great progress was noted.
Up until 1873 none but yellow ware
had been produced. In that year,
Knowles, Taylor & Knowles China Co.
turned it's attention to the production
of white granite ware, meeting with
excellent success. 1t was not long un-
til others followed the example of X.
T. & X, among others being Homer
and S. M. Laughlin, who in the autumn
of the same year built large factory
for the production of white ware.
Senator John Sherman, in an adj
dress in East Liverpool, June %,

from the standpoint of protectionist
of the growth and causes that led to

Way CledredFor
Terrace Village "
Pittsburgh s$l8.47l. 900 Slurn
Clearance Program
Is Started

Washington, D. C.-The way was
cleared today for major engineering
feat in connection with Pittsburgh's
$1S,471 ,0C0 slum-clearance program,
when Nathan Straus, Administrator of
the United States Housing Authority,
approve a base bid for rough grading
operations on "Ruch Hilltop" on which
is to be built the first section of "Ter-
race Village" low-rent housing project.
The bid approved today follows:
HARRISON CONSTRUCTION CO.,
Pittsburgh, Pa, $459, 900.
The bid, approved on recommends
ton by George e. Evans, Chairman of
the Pittsburgh Housing Authority,
provides for the removal of more than
100000 cubic yards of earth from the
top of Ruch Hill, overlooking the Mon
ongahela River. This operation will
provide for the development of the
"Soho Valley, and will include the
improvement Of large playground
area.
The huge grading operations, which
will eventually remake entirely the
topography of the so-called chill sec
ton" of the city, are being watched
with keen interest by engineers
throughout the country.
An even larger grading operation
will soon get under way on the other
side of the valley, where it is esti-
mated that nearly 100000 cubic
yards of earth will be "scalped" from
the tops of "Goat- -Gazzam Hills" and
dumped into the same area. On this
site will be built the second unit of
the Terrace Village project.
Grading operations, involving the
removal of 10000 cubic yards Of
earth, are nearing completion on the
Cannon Site," overlooking the Allie
cheney River, making way for con-
struction of Bedford Dwellings,, bids
for which will be opened April II.
Completion of the three low-rent
housing projects will involve a total
estimated development cost Of about
S1S,471 900, will include the demolition
Of more than 200 slum buildings and
will provide decent, safe and sanitary
dwelling units for more than 5000
families now living in substandard
dwellings.
Grading work on the Ruch Hill site
is scheduled to start about April Is,
following closely upon completion of
demolition work now being done, and
is expected to be finished within 412
months.
All three sites were selected by the
Pittsburgh Housing Authority prim-
arily because Of the comparatively low
cost Of the land and its adaptation for
rehousing slum dwellers. The sites
are within 20 minutes walking distance
Of the central business section and are
near major industries, stores, shops,
schools, churches and places of amuse-
ment and recreation.

On Capitol Hill
By GEORGE L. KNAPP

Washington, D. c. GLNS).-The
Supreme Court has handed down two
decisions on tax cases which are stars
Of hope in sky that has been pretty
cloudy with confusion. In both cases,
the state taxing officer claimed an in
come tax on the salary Of a Federal
official living in that state In both
cases, the upper court Of the state de-
clared the tax invalid. And in both
cases, the Supreme Court, by vote
Of to 2, reversed the state courts
ruling, and held that salaries coming
from the Federal government were not
exempt from state taxation.
Three things are Of particular in
terest in this matter. 1t overrules the
doctrine, built up over long period,
that states cannot tax Federal salaries
and Uncle Sam cannot tax state sal
aries. Robert H. Jackson, Solicitor
General of the United States, has
been attacking this doctrine for some
time; so the decision Of the Supreme
Court corresponds with the views Of
the executive. And the decision of the
court found the two die-hards, Justices
Butler and McReynolds, sticking to the
old view; while the other six, including
the three new Justices, Black, Reed
and Frankfurter, brushed the worn
out doctrine out Of court.
Justice Frankfurter wanted the
court to 20 into more detail.
Tax exemptions always get in the
way of fair play, sooner or later. But
here one big section of reform is
put through by ruling Of the court.
< x
The Federal Power Commission has
just issued a report which needs care
ful attention. The constant cry Of
private utility companies is that they
pay taxes, while publicly owned utili-
ties pay no taxes" and do nothing to
Offset taxes.
The FPC finds that the publicly
owned utility in Al states contributes
more, either in taxes or free service,
than privately owned utilities in the
same states. In two states, Arizona
and Rhode Island, the publicly owned
plants do not make up the taxes Of
the private plants. In two other
states, Montana and Wyoming, there
seems to be no publicly owned plant,
and. there is none in the District Of
Columbia.

The report that John N. Carmody
has been named as head of the Bon
neville Dam turns out to resemble the
report of Mark Twain's death, which
Mark himself declared to be greatly
exaggerated. Carmody is staying right
on as head Of the Rural Electrical
ton Administration. There are sound
reasons for believing that he could
have made the change if he had wish
cd; but that he did not wish; and GER
tainly no one with rural clectrifca-
ton at heart wants him gone.
Almost as many farms have been
wired in the last three years as in
the 80 years before; and the great
bulk Of these enterprises are cooper
atives. Which is an additional gain.
