 Speaking at a Foreign Affairs de- bate in the House of Commons Chamberlain said however. that Great Britain is not prepared to buy peace with concessions which would only tend to further de- mandS."
 The Premier made his utterances in replying to Lloyd George, who de- manded a speedy conclusion of the alliance with Russia, and to Clement Attlee. leader of the Labor Party opposition who urged a clear and firm foreign policy
 Chamberlain declared the German Government itself is responsible for the lack of faith in it's assertion of non aggressive intentions and de- clared that the British Government never desired to ask Russia to do anything which they are not pre- pared to do themselves

PAY LAW VIOLATOR
SENTENCED TO JAIL

Columbus, O. (OLNS).-Mrs. Marie
Amarose, local owner of chain of
dry cleaning establishments in several
Ohio cities and a consistent violator
of the Ohio minimum wage law, last
week was sentenced to 10 days in jail
and fined $100 and costs by Columbus
Municipal Judge Fred J. Miller, who
found her guilty of violating the min
imum wage law by paying a woman
employe SIS for a weeks work.
This was the second conviction of
Mrs. Amarose in two weeks on pros
ecutions pressed by James P. Walsh,
Jr., superintendent of the minimum
wage division of the Ohio Department
of Industrial Relations. She was fined
500 and costs in Dayton municipal
court on similar charge of failing to
pay the required minimum wage for
the dry cleaning industry.
Judge Miller scored Mrs. Amarose
in statement from the bench before
passing sentence, declaring: "This act
(the minimum wage act) is one in
which the state protects those who are
driven by hunger to accept wages that
cannot support life and decency. Lack
of the bare necessities of life compels
many persons to accept work at any
wages offered by those who have no
regard for human rights. This law,
in my opinion, should be enforced
rigidly."

MAYORS SAY CITIES
CAN'T GET ALONG
WITHOUT W.P.A. AID

Washington, d. C. ILNS) -Four
mayors of four great cities told the
House appropriations committee which
is looking into the Works Progress
Administration that the cities of the
United States simply cannot get along
without the agency. There was no
hesitation in the answers Of any of
them. They are LaGuardia of New
York, Kelly of Chicago, Tobin of Bos-
ton, and Burton of Cleveland.
"The dropping of employables by
the federal government or discon-
tinuing the w. p A. without anything
constructive to take it's place would
be tragic" said LaGuardia. "The re-
suits would be too terrible to contem-
plate. 1t would result in starvation
for 100000 persons. 1t would be
followed by tragedy and disaster"
Congressman Tabor of New York
asked LaGuardia if he found chiselling

Under the amendments contained in
the two bills, new authority is Gre
ated, composed of one person "fa-
miliar with the work of state welfare
institutions; one businessman" and
zone person skilled in the building
industry and who is representative of
labor"
The new three-member board is to
serve without salary, although the

nor, will receive a salary of $500
per year.
Senate Bill 313 has been recon-
mended for passage as an emergency
measure by the Senate committee on
banks and loan associations, while
House Bill GIG was considered by the
House taxation committee.
The present building authority on
May 3 sold $7,500,000 of bonds to a
Chicago company, subject to the
amended legislation introduced last
week and Supreme Court approval of
it's constitutionality.
William S. Evatt, state finance di-
rector, and Don Ebright, state treas
urer, advised the authority that the
annual cost of retiring the bonds was
we'll within the revenues derived from
pay patients at state hospitals.

Columbus, Ohio. - Measures were
introduced in the House and Senate
of the Ninety-Third General Assem-
bly, last week creating new Public
Institutional Building Authority with
constitutional powers to issue $10,-
100000 in bonds to finance construc-
tion program statewide in it's scope.
Senator Stanley G. McKie, Cincin-
natl, introduced Senate Bill 313 which
provides for retirement of the bonds
issued by the authority from pay
patient revenues collected by the
state, and increasing the bonds au-
thorized from $7,5O0,O00 to $10,000,-
900. A similar bill, House Bill GIG,
was introduced by Representative E.
e. Addison, Columbus.
The provisions of the measures meet
constitutional questions raised in con-
nection with the powers of the au-
thority created by the Ninety-Second
General Assembly, administration
spokesmen said, permitting the state
to launch badly needed institutional
building program.
Positions of the present three-mem-
ber authority, composed of w. S. Ko-
mold, Warren, chairman; Dan A. Car
michael, Columbus, member architect
and Ed Switalski, Portsmouth, secre-
tary, are abolished as an economy

Force Of Organized Workers Sweeps Objectionable Leg
isati0n To Defeat-Legisators Yield To The Long,
Sustained Attacks OF Labor Representatives

the Senate approved bill until it was
merely question of who would be
first to move indefinite postponement.
Women representatives of unions
and other organizations who packed
the hearing room and opposed the
bill applauded the action of the labor
committee.
An effort on the part of Senator
Fred G. Reiners, Cincinnati, to "sneak"
an amendment into House Bill 402,
resulted disastrously to the amend
ment and to the bill, which was killed
by vote of to % after the amend
ment had been defeated.
| House Bill 402, which exempted sal
aries above $4,000 from the unem
ployment compensation tax, had been
approved by the Senate, when Senator
Reiners asked that it be reconsidered
to give him an opportunity to include
an amendment which had been killed
on two occasions in a House COM
mittee.
The amendment proposed to exempt
tips and gratuities from consideration
as wages in the computation of un-
employment compensation benefits.
Led by Senator Horace S. Keifer,
| Springfield, the 23 Senators voiced
their resentment of the effort to slip
| this undesirable amendment into the
bill without hearing in committee.
Senate Bill 118, clarifying the duties
of the regional claims boards of the
| Industrial Commission, has the dis
tinction of being the first measure
supported by the Ohio State Fedora
tion of Labor to be approved by both
branches of the Ninety-Third Gen
eral Assembly.
The bill, introduced by Senator
Keifer, passed the House of Repre-
sentatives last week by vote of 115
to 0. Although opposed by employers
when it was first introduced, Su-
preme Court ruling upholding the
constitutionality of the boards won
support of employers for the bill when
it came up for passage.
BY a vote of 80 to /, the Senate
/ last week approved House Bill 400,
introduced by Representative E. E..
Addison, Columbus, after reinserting
an amendment limiting accrued COM
pensation allowed by the Industrial
Commission in modified awards to two
years. The House is expected to con-
cur in the Senate's amendment, after
having eliminated that feature of the
agreed employer labor measure
when the bill was up for passage in
the House.
The Senate also approved Substi-
tute Senate Bill No. 81, sponsored
jointly by Senators Pollock and Zoul,
which extensively amends the state
law regulating cosmetologists and
hair-dressers.

Columbus, Ohio. - Organized labor
won series of surprise" victories
in the Ohio General Assembly last
week as the legislators moved swiftly
towards sine die adjournment.
With legislation enabling munici-
palities to raise funds to match state
grants for poor relief safely past the
House of Representatives, and the
general appropriation measure for the
biennium receiving House action May
Is, work of the Ninety Third General
Assembly will be completed when
those two bills are sent to Governor
John w. Bricker for his signature.
Three measures Objectionable to the
organized workers of the state were
thrown into the discard as legislators
yielded to the long, sustained attacks
of labor representatives on the provi-
sions of the bills. Other measures
supported by labor and employers
were approved by the legislators OF
standing committees.
Biggest surprise" victory for labor
was the defeat in the House of Repre-
sentatives of Substitute House Bill 16
introduced by Representative John
Matthias, Columbus, with full admin.
istration support.
Rejected by organized labor as 6
compromise for a measure identica
with the federal Norris-La Guardis
Act regulating the issuance of injunc
tions in labor disputes, motion tt
table the substitute bill carried by {
vote of &C to 49, with 32 Republican.
joining with 81 Democrats to kill the
bill.
] The motion to table the measure
was made by Representative Gu!
Hiner (R0, Canton, after Represent
ative Lody Huml CD, Cleveland, hat
made an eloquent plea to "give labol
that which it asked for; adequate pro
lection from vicious anti-labor injunc
tions as provided in original Hous'
Bill 16; not this meaningless substi
tute which all of organized labor ha!
rejected"
A second unexpected victory wa
scored by labor in the House labol
committee, where hearings on Substi
! tute Senate Bill 1T, which practic
ally wrecked the eight-hour day Law
for women and minors, were suddenl.
! terminated by motion to indefinitel.
postpone hearings on the bill.
The motion was made by Represent
ative Hiner and seconded by Repre-
sentative George E. Thompson, Luca
County. On voice vote, the motion
carried almost unanimously.
Exemptions from the eight-hou
day were asked by additional employee
Representatives in House labor com
mittee hearings, increasing antag
onism of committee members toward
