HoIdsparade

CHICAGO, Sept. ga modern
peace army marched in Chicago to-
day. Thousands Of Legionnaires
paraded to the tune of blaring trum-
pets and throbbing drums in sharp
contrast with the. bursting of shells
in Europe.
The parade highlighted the third
day of the American Legion con-
vention. Wider of girth and not
quite so active as they were when
the great war ended almost 81 years
ago, the Legionnaires marched be-
tween lines of a crowd estimated
at several hundred thousand.
Rain and a stiff lake breeze failed
to curb the enthusiasm of the for
mer soldiers.

On Capitol Hill
By GEORGE L. KNAPP

Washington, d. C. ULNS).-- Mar
riner S. Eccles, Chairman of the Fed
eral Reserve Board, has established
himself among those who pack a
smashing wallop in debate. Senator
Henry F. Byrd, of Virginia, one of
those well to do gentry who want to
"balance the budget" by cutting down
relief, went to Boston the other day,
and made speech on that line. Here
is a part Of the open letter which
Chairman Eccles sent to Senator
Byrd
"You assert that Millions of able
bodied citizens rely upon the Govern
ment for support, and have ceased to
exert their efforts for self-help to OBJ
tain private employment
$50 far as | know, there is not
the slightest evidence to support
such sweeping assertion. Any
honest American citizen must re-
sent the insult this implies to mil
lions of self-respecting men and
women.
You state that you are concerned
about the character Of the individual
CITIZEN and the dignity and the
rights Of the individual So am !. /
believe, however, that the most basic
right of all is the right to live, and,
next to that, the right to work /
DO NOT THINK EMPTY STOM-
ACHS BUILD CHARACTER, nor do
think the substitution of idleness
and dole for useful work relief will
improve either the dignity or the
character of the people affected"
From Washington, of all the capi-
tails of the world, has come the first
official slap in the face for Nazism.
Three slaps, in fact.
Summer WelIes, Acting Secretary of
State in Hulps absence, fatty rejected
Germany's protest against the recent
speech in which Ickes denounced the
persecution Of the Jews, and told
the German diplomatic official who
brought it that it i'll became Nazi Of
ficials to protest against the horror
which America felt for such work.
"On the day that this "roast" was
delivered, President Roosevelt took
particular pains to dine with Secre-
tary Ickes.
On the same day, Senator Key Pitt
man, chairman Of the Senate Commit
tee on Foreign Relations, issued a
blunt, four-point statement, Of which
| the second was:
"The people of the United States do
not like the government Of Germany"
Now comes the question:
How many daily papers which
printed and rightly gloated over these
facts told their readers that THE
AMERICAN FEDERATION OF La
BOR TOOK THE LEAD YEARS
AGO IN DENOUNCING NAZI BRU-
TALITY AND PERSECUTION?

Exemp+ing Carriers
From Wage Act Hit
Administrator Andrews To
Consider Arguments
On Petition

Washington, D. C.-Strong oppo-
sition to the application of the West
ern Union and Postal Telegraph COM
panies for exemption Of messengers
from the Fair Labor Standards Act
was presented by representatives of
the Commercial Telegraphers Unions,
affiliated with the American Fedora
ton Of Labor, at a hearing held by
Administrator Elmer F. Andrews to
consider arguments for and against
the petition.
Spokesman for the Commercial
Photographers Union definitely charged
that the telegraph companies are pay
ing more to deliver kilograms by tele-
phone in order to create artificial en-
ployment among messengers.
1t costs from two cents to two and
one-half cents to deliver an ordinary
telegram by messenger while deliverey
by telephone costs minimum Of three
cents, the CTU representatives de-
clared.
According to the union, in the case
Of night letters which are distributed
simultaneously each morning, it costs
less than two cents to deliver each by
messenger, while the length Of night
letters makes the cost Of their deliv-
cry by phone especially high because
Of increased toll charges and higher
operator costs.
at is bad enough for the telegraph
companies to invite public disfavor by
their alleged inability to pay % cents
per hour to messengers" the CTU
statement said "But they antagonize
the public by attempting telephone
delivery Of all messages half mile or
more distant. This practice can bring
only further loss of business and re-
suit in unemployment of non-messen-
ger employees.
Thousands Of messengers through
out the nation have been laid off in
order to give the companies basis for
their claim Of unemployment In
Washington it is estimated that 40
out Of 200 Western Union messengers
have been laid off since October oath,
the effective date of the % cent mini
mum hourly rate
Hugh c. McKenny and Patrick j
Taft, attorneys, represented the CTU
at the hearing before the Wage and
Hour Division.
Boris Shiskin, appearing on behalf
of the American Federation of Labor
supported the CTU's position and said
that "the telegraph companies appeaI
for exemption from the % cent mini,
mum required by the Wage and Hour
Law is not only without foundation il
fact, but also would set an unwarrant-
ed and dangerous precedent which
would serve to undermine the already
low minimum wage prescribed by the
| Act"
Frank B. Powers, president of the
Commercial Telegraphers Union, in
announcing meeting of CTU mem
bers to consider the petition of the
telegraph companies for the exemption
of messengers, said it was a "brazer
attempt to create artificial employ
ment among messengers whic
amounts to sabotage of telegraph
service for the sole purpose of max.
ing case before Administrator
Andrews

Wool Labelling Ruled Endorsed

Washington, d. C.-Appearing be-
fore the hearing Of the F. T. c. on
the proposed Trade Practice Rules for
the Wool Industry, Francis J. German,
President, United Textile Workers of
America said, "The United Textile
Workers of America have long sup
ported the principles behind these
rules. They believe that honest fab
rics-honestly manufactured and sold
to the public with an honest state
ment of what goes into them-will
mean more work and better paid work
for the workers. Also, such a pro-
gram will benefit the wool industry,
and will constitute a protection for
the consuming public which it has long
sought"

Bakery Union Growing

Washington, D. C.-The Bakery
and Confectionery Workers Inter-
national Union reports that it is re-
ceiving daily next years renewals of
union agreements, and that the out
look for 1889 is the most promising in
the history Of the organization. A.
A. Myrup, Secretary-Treasurer of the
international in a recent statement
said, more and more, the unorganized
workers in our industry are awaken
ing to the realization that further
isolation from the ranks of the organ
lied can only initiate against their
own interests"

with utter conviction that manage
ment'S interest in the face of the
world problems of today should be
parallel with Labor's.
With the menace of fascistic brutal
ity of the constituencies State seeking
to destroy the democratic institutions
of mankind, it is the duty of all de-
cent people to find basis for friendly
agreement for real cooperation to-
wards a happier and healthier COM
munity.
Civilization advances only by prog
ress and freedom of the intellect and
conscience of all the people whether
they sit in the executives arm \chair
or sweat in the foundry And in
America we all want to so forward
and are glad to go forward together!

Minor Suit Game Is Difficult, Shows Exceptionally
 Fine Play
Fine Play

Minor suit games are usually dif- ficult to arrive at, as players will often get into three no trump. There fore I thought today's hand was well bid, and the play to make five clubs is also exceptionally fine.
 Naturally South must open the bidding with Q club, and the double Is Vests best call. North's redouble is fine. East would be justified in passing, or some players would pre- fer the two diamond bid.
 Having opened the bidding, South must now pass to see what action West and North take. North's double of Vests twoheart bid is for busi- ness, and South's two no trump shows the diamond stopper. When North goes to three no trump, South wisely decides in fNvor of g suit declaration on the hand, and North follows the same reasoning when he takes the contract to i've clubs
 The opening lead is own with the ace of spades and the eight of hearts led. West wins with the ace and returns another spade, dummy winning with the king.
 The jack of clubs is played and East correctly refuses to cover until the ten is led. Seuth wins with the ace, plays another spade and ruffs in dummy with the club four. South discards q diamond on the king of hearts and ruffs another heart.
