Prevailing Wage
Is Approved On
Final Work Duv
Legislators End Sessions On
June lst After Five
Long Months
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

(By Ohio Labor News Service)
Columbus, O.-Yielding to almost
unprecedented pressure from labor
representatives and administration
leaders, the House of Representatives
on June /, the final working day OF
the regular session, approved Senate
Bill 63, amending the prevailing rate
of wages law, to enact the only ma
jor piece of labor-sponsored legisla-
tion to receive approval of both
branches of the 93rd General As
sembly.
The full force of the Ohio State
Federation of Labor and the Ohio
State Building and Construction
Trades Council was thrown behind the
bill and the aid of Governor John w.
Bricker was enlisted to have the meas
ure placed before the House for pass
age after it had apparently become
hopelessly imbedded in the Rules Com
mittee.
Following brief debate on the floor
of the House, in which the member
ship was admonished that the bill rep
resented their final opportunity to vote
for labor measure the bill was pass
ed by vote of 80 to II.
The bill amends the law to provide
that the wage rate established by la
Dor contracts in the county nearest to
one in which none exists shall prevail
on all public building construction.
After refusing amendments and the
recommendation of a conference COM
mittee, the House and Senate broke
their deadlock on a bill reorganizing
the civil serice commission and ex-
tending the right of appeal to include
As9ayIoEs and salary reductions, and
concurred in the report Of a second
conference committee.
The bill as finally enacted retains
the present two commissioners and
provides for the appointment of a
third member by the Governor who
advocated the provisions of the bill as
passed by the Assembly.
A humping 10 to 81 defeat was ad-
ministered by the House membership
to Senate Bill 139, reorganizing the
welfare department into four divisions.
The bill was opposed by organized
labor, and was attacked bitterly by
several members of the House, princi-
pally Representative w. H. Whetro,
1ronton, as proposal of profession
al welfare workers seeking to gain
complete control of jobs in the de-
partment."
Other legislation of interest to la
Dor which was enacted by the General
Assembly in the final two days of the
regular working session included:
Senate Bill 8, permitting persons

Salem Ready To Go To Pot.
ters Best Outing This
Saturday

Salem, O.-Salem members are all
set for the big picnic at Chippewa
Lake Park Saturday, June 10. We are
certainly going to yell our best for our
horseshoe team. We want to see them
bring home the bacon. Local Union
No. 70 has challenged our team and
we believe they will have to go some
to beat them. BY the way Minerva,
we see by the Herald you are expect
ing to use only one man. You had bet
ter build that team up to at least four.
A bus has been chartered for Salem
members who do not have cars to
travel in. From Salem take ID until
you come to 224 then turn left,
straight to route 3, from there the
last mile or so is easy going as there
are plenty of signs advertising the
park.
Don't forget your dues book as a
chance on $4,000 is nothing to be
sneezed at, also coal for your furnace
next winter, or some new china.
Now to the shut-ins, it is too bad
you are all ailing at this time when
you could go to the picnic and really
enjoy yourselves. Now there is Name
Voneman or Aunt Name as she is
known to the Salem members. She is
looking good and states she is feeling
like spring chicken, but has lost some
of her feathers and has decided to take
up ball playing as soon as she is able
to get around. Aunt Mamie fell some
time ago and broke limb, she was
getting along fine until bad luck again
stepped in and she broke her arm. We
do hope, she will be better very soon.
Sister Steiner is on the up and up
from her recent illness and we hope
to see her back brushing very soon.

Ohio Compensation
Bureau To Be 1870
Civil Service Soon
Goal Coils For Personnel To
Be Under Civil Service
BY July lst

Columbus, O.-The Ohio Bureau of
Unemployment Compensation person
! mel will be ninety-five per cent, or bet
fter, Civil Service by July 1, if the
goal set by Administrator H. C.
Atkinson is realized. Such procedure
is in line with the established policy
of the Social Security Board, which
requires one hundred per cent Civil
Service. The Board exercises close
supervision over all Bureau of Unem-
ployment Compensation expenditures,
although Ohio employers provide every
cent of the money.
Of eighteen hundred B. U. C. en-
ployes, at present eighty-seven per
cent, or 1929 are under classified SER
vice. Thirteen per cent, or 237, are
temporary appointees.
"The Bureau of Unemployment
Compensation is a young state depart
Ament. The former Commission, two
Iyears ago, faced an enormous respon-
sibility in setting up this organization.
Within short period of time, some
two thousand people were on the pay
roll and of these, there were far more
temporary appointees than those taken
from the Civil Service lists. It is pos
sible that Civil Service lists were used
as far as seemed practicable, but peo-
pie of every type and character were
hurriedly inducted,' Mr.. Atkinson
pointed out.

anticipated claim load of three hun

however, has been running around two

TIPS TO
Plant Seeds Carefully

WHEN vegetable and flower
w seeds purchased from repu-
table firms do not terminate as
they should, it is safe to assume
that conditions are not favorable
for growth, or that seeds were not
planted properly.
Therefore, it is of greatest i'm
portance to plant seeds according
to directions on the packets. Ex-
tremely small seeds must be COW
cred only lightly with soil, accord
ing to Harold N. Coulter, vegeta-
bic expert.
The will to grow is strong IN
seeds, but they have their inita-
tions. To plant tiny seed, like
the petunia, under an inch Of soil
is like burying a man under a 20
story building and asking him to
push it away.
Heavier, larger seeds, of course,
may be planted deeper. Beans
and cucumbers may be covered
with three-quarters of an inch to
a full inch of soil. Peas and corn
sprout vigorously and may be
planted from an inch to an inch
and one-haf deep.
Many successful home garden
ers actually cover peas and corn
with an extra half-inch of soil aft
er they begin to push through
This protects them from birds,
and also helps keep weeds down

to encourage American capital to

Officials Unwilling to
Learn From, Other Nations

Those fellows in the executive de-
partments apparently are unwilling
to learn from other nations either.
I came into possession of a docu-
ment, for example, that made a con-
fidential report to the national emer-
gency council more than a year ago.
1t told that the British government
had stored in warehouses enough
nickel and tin for a three years
supply to be used by industries man.
ufacturing war materials. This was
done by the British government, not
withstanding the fact that London is
the seat of the great International
Nickel corporation which owns the
largest nickel mines in the world
and does SO per cent of the worlds
trade in nickel. The British thought
it was wise to have the essential ma
terial available, when and if needed,
and it had that conviction even with
the largest nickel mine known now
located on British territory at Suds-
worth, Ontario, Canada.
Further, according to that report,
the British were unwilling to leave
the main nickel refinery on United
States soil. 1t was moved to Ca
madam spot where, according to
the report, it would be 'out of dis
lance of any long range guns" The

Agriculture

Time was when last years price
had little effect on this years crop.
Since AAA, however, American
farmers have realized the folly Of
heaping insult on injury by adding
new SURPRISES to already swollen
granaries. Lack of export market
and heavy production last year sent
U. S. farm SURPRISES to new high.
The expected result, now verified by
the department of agriculture's crop
reporting board, will be a general
cut in this seasons production of
most products.
Most outstanding fact of the sur
vey is that grain farmers will slash
II per cent from their spring wheat
planting, yet total 1899 wheat acre
age is expected to exceed the AAA's
announced goal by nearly 100000
bushels. Total winter and spring
wheat prospects are for 65,678, 900
acres.
Official explanation for the decline:
Cd efforts to conform with the soil
conservation program; (2) reaction
ments to changing feed require
to last years decline; (3) adjust
ments, necessitated by last years

Buying for Reserves Would
Start Brand NeU Industries

In my conversations among Rocky
Mountain congressman, / could not
avoid the conclusion that capital
funds held in the United States will
not be put to work on such things
without some encouragement from
officials in Washington. I know that
some Representatives and senators
are of the opinion that the federal
government ought to offer to buy
these war essentials here and disre-
gard foreign sources. They believe
that commitment to buy for re-
serves, if made by the federal gov
eminent, would start brand new in
dustries going in many, many parts
of the United States. All of the while,
however, we have the bureau of
mines and the war department sit
ting back and making it hard for
Americans to develop America.
This whole situation would be hard
ly worth analyzing were it not for
the facts: /. The federal government
is spending billions for defense,
along with other billions that are
being wasted, and, 2. 1t is a measure
of safety to have all, or as much
as possible, of the things we would
need, in event of war, where they
can be handled by Americans for
Americans. And it is more impor-
tant, too, because numerous reports
have reached Washington in the
last year to the effect that German,
or Belgian or British capitalists
have been making overtures to hold
ers of American mining claims for
operating leases on properties that
yield such things as essential war
metals. 1t is my belief that sooner
or later congress will learn that the
bureaucracy, which it created, has
wasted too much time; it will learn
that foreigners own all of the metal
resources here-and we will be buy
ing back the finished material at
the prices foreign monopoly cares
to establish-just as we are now buy
ing nickel.

International

Since Russia was ignored at the
Munich conference last September,
the Soviet has withdrawn to it's shell,
apparently content to fight internal
problems and let the rest of the
world fight Adolf Hitler. This &C.
ton was justified. France, Britain,
Italy and Germany ignored Mos
cow in settling the Sudeten issue
apparently Russia was not wanted
in Europe, and anyway Japan was
barking at her vulnerable Asiatic
door.
But necessity sometimes makes
strange bedfellows. Though Com
munism looks far more like Nazi-
ism than Democracy, Russian-Ger-
man interests clash on two vital
points: ID Hitler wants the Russian
Ukraine, a vast expanse of rich and
fertile land which now gives Russia
most of its oil, wheat, meat and
mineral; (2) Germany's ally in the
vengeful anti-Communist pact is ia
pan, and Japan is Russia's most an
cient and bitter enemy.
Hence Russia has emerged on the
international front once more as a
direct aftermath of Germany's
Czechoslovakian seizure. Huge,
mysterious, of unknown strength,

collapsed amidst its last European
venture during the World war, finds

a soldier, he went to Russia 80
years ago to accept professor
ship in the cars war college.
When the World war broke out
he and 10000 other Czechs joined
the Russian army. During the
revolution these Czechs made
their historic movement to Vladi-
vostok, where the group collected
funds to send Hurban to Washing
ton. There he joined DR.. Thomas
Masaryk in founding the Czech
nation. After the government
was established he returned to
Washington as Czech military at
tache, later going to Egypt as
charge d'affaires, to Sweden as
minister, and in 1886 back to
Washington as minister. His
greatest accomplishment here
was consummation of the Czech
U. S. trade treaty last year, now
abrogated under Hitler's "protec-
torate" regime.
