Lower California and Southwestern
Arizona, this stout-bodied reptile

inches more. lives a life that is like
that of the typical rattler.
More is written and said about the
rattlers than any other serpent liv-
ing in America. They are really the
most important, for among them
will be found the greater number of
poisonous reptiles. They are second
in rank with the most dreaded of the
dangerous family known as the
vipers, which are to be found dwell
ing in most of the warmer areas of
our globe.
All of them have rich, velvety
colors and combinations of shades.
All of them have mean dispositions
and their rattlers never cease to be
of interest. The awful rythmic hiss
ing, the terrible CLASSY, staring eyes,
the inflated body thrown into its
typical symmetrical coil, the heart
shaped head and the swift moving or
sloW-waving tongue, together with
the constant whirr of the rattle but
tons, all contribute to impress the

Working Girls Temper Improved

DEAR MISS DIX: I am writing
you in desperation to entreat you
to lend your influence to the break
ing up of the perniciouS no-break-
fast habit of young business women
If it is well not TO approach a
man until he has had breakfast. how
about the danger of dealing with
girls who sally forth in the morning
expecting TO give efficient service on
a glass of orange juice? Is there
SO much difference between mans
stomach and womanS stomach
that she can take the chances of
business on an empty stomach? 1t
is my experience as an employer
that by noon these half-Starved
young ladies are in such a stage of
exhaustion and in such a state of
nerves that the slightest order or
dictation simply burns them up.
They can't take it. They are irri-
table with customers. uninterested in
their work and weep if their bosses
make any criticism of them. So
often there is nothing left to an
employer except to dismiss them. All
because they didn't have a decent
breakfast. So what? I'm asking you.

Further Study Urged
Asking study of unemployment
compensation, Green said:
"At the last session of Congress, the
A. F. of L. supported bill to estab-
lish a representative advisory COM
mittee to study unemployment COM
pensation. The Advisory Council on
Social Security made a notable con-
tribution to the old-age insurance sec
tions of the law. We need a similar
careful study for unemployment COM
pensation.
II urge that each state federation
use it's influence with the Senators
and Representative from it's state to
secure their support for bill for such
an advisory committee and their
votes against any reduction in the

pensation until the committee can
have made a thorough study of the

CHICAGO LABOR
TO AID UNIONS
By JOSEPH A. WISE

Chicago (ILNS).-A letter has gone
forward from Chicago to William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, requesting that
he call conference in Washington
of the international presidents of the
unions which maintain contractual re-
lations with the Hearst newspaper or
ganization in Chicago.
The letter to Mr.. Green is signed
by Victor A. Olander, secretary of
the Illinois State Federation of La
Dor; John Fitzpatrick, president of
the Chicago Federation of Labor, and
by Joseph D. keenan,, secretary of
the Chicago Federation of Labor.
Help for Unions Sought
The proposed conference is designed
to provide ways and means to hold
up the hands of the A. F. of l.. in it's
fight with the C. l. o. American News
paper Guild.
The long fight will be at an end, it
is believed, when the National Labor
Relations Board has given the edi-
torial room and front office employees
on the Chicago American and Exam
iner an opportunity to vote on the
question of whether they want the
A. F. of L. or the C. L. O. as their
bargaining agent. These employees
are in possession of the promises
given to them under A. F. of L. char
ters. The c. l. o. American Newspa-
per Guild wants to oust the A. F. of L.
and take possession.
Boycott is Continued
The last and final hearing was held
before the three members of the N. L.
R. B. in Washington on November IA
The A. F. of L. unions in Chicago are
awaiting action by the N. L. R. E.
Meantime the Guild is carrying on
its boycott of the Hearst daily news
paper on the streets of Chicago and
through other means. 1t is felt that
the international unions which have
! contracts with the Hearst organiza-
tion in Chicago can lend great help
toward supporting their local affili-
ates in Chicago.

VARIOUS RANGES in
RELIEF ALLOWANCES

Chicago, Ill. ILNS) The average
monthly allowance paid by state and
local governments to their general re-
lief "cases" ranges from 1888 in
Oklahoma to $34.28 in New York, the
Council of State Governments reports.
The council said the figures were
based on payments of last August as
compiled by the Social Security Board
and did not include costs Of admins
tration, materials and equipment in
cident to administration of general
relief. 1t said relief "cases," as re-
ferred to in the report, might be either
a family or an individual.
The council said the allowances,
paid in cash or commodities or both,
were for state and local general relief
only and were paid with state and
local funds.

Columbus, Ohio.-A resume of rec
ords of the Ohio State Federation of
Labor, state branch of the American
Federation of Labor, for the year 1889
reveals that accomplishments and ac-
tivities of the organized labor move
ment in Ohio were outstanding in
many respects in the year now draw
ing to close.
Predominant in Importance was the
successful resistance to all attacks
made on existing labor laws by legis-
lation introduced in the Ninety Third
General Assembly, and defeat of
other legislation which sought to re-
strict and regulate organized labor
and it's representatives.
Organized labor of other states was
not as successful as that of Ohio in
resisting what was apparently a ma
tion-wide campaign for legislation
weakening or wiping out entirely Ia
Dor laws which had been secured over
long period of years.
In addition to overcoming detri-
mental legislation, Ohio labor, through
the Ohio State Federation of Labor,
secured the enactment of amend
ments improving some important laws
affecting workers of the state, al
though a major portion of it's legis-
lative program was ignored by the
General Assembly.
Court Decisions Favorable
Two decisions Of the Ohio Supreme
Court which were favorable to labor
made it possible to have enacted Leg
islation constituting progressive i'm
provements to the 26-year-old work
mems compensation law.
One act included all occupational
diseases in the compensate list and
the other firmly established the Re-
gional Claims Boards as necessary
adjuncts to the Industrial Commits
sion to expedite the hearing of claims
for workmen's compensation.
Legislation improving the prevail
ing rate of wages law was also sup
ported successfully. Although unable
to halt passage of bill reorganiz-
ing the Unemployment Compensation
Commission, organized labor was sue
cessful in having deleted a number Of
unsatisfactory provisions contained in
the original measure.
Although winning two important
decisions in the Supreme Court, labor
lost another when legislation Great
ing an Institutional Building Au-
thority, with power to issue bonds fol
construction of needed state institu-
tional buildings, was declared uncon-
stitutional.

HIGHER STANDARDS
FOR LABOR URGED
BY PRES. WIN. GREEN
Federation Will Oppose Demand For
Reduction in Federal Tax Rates.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) Sup
port of a national drive to raise un-
employment compensation benefits and
to standardize state laws was urged
by President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor in a
letter to all State Federations of
Labor.
Green announced that the fedora
tion will oppose "a vigorous demand
from employers of many states" for
a reduction in the federal tax rates
until standards are raised. He urged
appointment of a federal advisory
committee to study possible amend
ments of the federal-state unemploy-
ment compensation setup.
"We have seen," President Green
wrote the state federations, "the pres
sure for tax reductions through the
expensive and cumbersome merit and
experience rating plans. When Con-
gress reassembles in January, there
will be vigorous demand from en-
ployers Of many states to have the
federal tax rate cut.
improvements Still Needed
"The American Federation of La
Dor believes that no tax reductions
should be made until we have had ex-
perience under materially better bene-
fit standards. Some improvements
were made at the last sessions of state
legislatures. Much more remains tc
be done.
"The American Federation of La
Dor believes that the waiting period
should not exceed one week, that bene.
fits should be paid to all eligible un.
employed workers for 20 weeks in the
year, that the weekly benefit checks
should be no less than half the work
er's full-time weekly wage within
limits of $500 and $4,000, and thai
disqualifcations should be no more
severe than an increase in the wait
