NATIONWIDE STRIKE
IS AVERTED

Washington, d. G. (ILNS).-A
strike of 10000 railway express work
ers was halted for at least GO days
when President Roosevelt announced
he was appointing a board to investi-
gate and report on the controversy
threatening a walkout.
A strike call had already been is
sued when the President made his an
nouncement. The controversy is be-
tween the Brotherhood of Railway and
Steamship Clerks, Freight Handlers,
Express and Station Employees and
the Railway Express Agency, Inc.
The boards members were not i'm
mediately named. Under the Railway
Labor Act, all parties to the dispute
are automatically bound to maintain
the status quo for thirty days until
a report is made, and for thirty days
afterward.
The procedure by the President is
customary under the Railway Labor
Act and has worked to material advan-
tage in preceding labor disputes

Board that it had not been possible

Factory Jobs and Pay
Increase In New York

Albany, N. Y. (ILNS) Factories
of New York were employing 0.4 per
cent more workers in June than in
May, Industrial Commissioner Frieda
S. Miller reports. Payrolls rose 1.8
per cent in the month. These gains
are contrary to the usual losses of
0.6 per cent in forces and of 0.2 per
cent in payrolls from May to June
as measured by the average changes
over the past 25 years.
The New York State Department of
Labor's index of factory employment,
based on the 1925-27 average as 100,
was 1873. The corresponding payroll
index rose to 865. Compared with
June, 1889, there were about 10 per
cent more factory workers employed
this June and payrolls were approx
mately IA per cent higher.

Federal Judge Charles E. Woodward Sets August IL AS

Chicago (ILNS).-Federal Judge
Charles E. Woodward has directed the

The order issued by Judge Wood

BACKBONE OF
TRANSPORTATION

Magazine)

Magazine)
What form of transportation pos
sesses natural advantages, not shared
by the others, which make it continu-
ously important in the economic life
of the country? The answer is, of
course, the railroad.
Because of it's private right of way,
the railroad can control it's traffic,
thus enabling the arrangement of fast
and regular freight and passenger
schedules. In comparison, consider
the spasmodic schedules of waterway,
highway and air transportation dur
ing times of stress. Floods, fogs,
storms and SHOWS disrupt them, while
the railroad measures up to eXpecta-
ton.
The solid roadbeds and fast locomo-
tives enable the railroad to build pas
senger cars of comparatively large
carrying capacity, wherein the passen-
gers can ride long distances at high
speed in comfort and luxury and at
low haulage cost. Railroad equip
ment can haul large train loads of
freight at low fuel cost and small Ia
Dor handling.
How else than on the railroad could
the enormous tonnage of iron ore,
coke, coal, cotton seed oil, lumber and
othe.' bulk products be shipped with
safety and dispatch? Dependable,
progressive, the railroad has contribu-
ted more than any other agency to
the building of the United States and
still remains the backbone of its trans
portation system.

Machinists' Ladies Auxiliary
Sets Example Of Union Label
Activity, 0rnburn Reports
Treasurer of Union Label Trades Department
Voices Praise of Ladies' Unts-Label Conscious Con-
sumers Making Big Gains for Union Principles

Washington, d. G. (ILNS).-A peak
record for union label activity was
set by the union label department of
the Ladies Auxiliary of the Interna-
tional Association of Machinists, re-
ports |. M. Ornburn, secretary treas
urer of the A. F. of L. Union Label
Trades Department. In review of
the auxiliary's union label activities,
he says:
"The activities of this international
department to a ladies' auxiliary is
an outstanding example for women
members of labor unionists' families
throughout America. Mrs. Anna
Preusser of st. Louis, is chairman of
the LAM. Union Label Department
for the United States. She reports
that over one hundred thousand union
label-conscious consumers purchased
only union label goods and patronized
only union services during the past
two months.
Local Auxiliary No. II in Cincin-
natl and Local Auxiliary No. "a in
st. Louis had the highest averages.
Bread and cigarettes drew the high
est number of union label purchases.
However, union-made products of
every variety were bought by these
loyal labor union-minded women.
Every Phase of Activity
'In a series of eleven separate
drives, the LAM. Ladies' Auxiliary
included every phase of union label
activity. There was the positive
campaign to patronize only firms that
display union label, shop card or
button. There was the educational
campaign by which the brand names
and trademarks of various union
made goods were publicized. There
was drive to patronize local firms
that use only union services.

No Bets Missed

label boosters missed no bet. They

Their union label batting average
was 1000 per cent.
"In many cities throughout the
country, union label committees are
receiving the full cooperation of all
the women's auxiliaries of the Am
erican Federation of Labor, the A. F
of L. organizers, central labor unions
and union label leagues. In citing
the splendid work of these two local
womens auxiliaries, Mrs. Preussel
has given us a good idea of what car
be accomplished if their activities
were multiplied by the thousands OF
womens auxiliaries which are now
organized and will be formed through.

A demand for a universal 44-hour
week among the Railway Express en-
pfoyes lay behind the proposed strike,
George H. Harrison, president of the
union, said. The agency, he contin-
ued, had granted the 44-hour week to
"about 5000 employees" March l, but
had declined to extend similar consid-

by the evidence the government pre-
sents and can prepare a defense of
himself.
"Judge Woodward" CARMEL de-
clared, recognized this basic prin-
ciple. The particulars that the gov
ernment is required to answer, so far
as labor unions, as well as other de-
PENDANTS, are concerned, are such as
to enable them to properly know what
they are being charged with and what
defense they are required to make,
if any,"
Olander Halls Ruling
"The ruling of Judge Woodward is
highly important to organized labor
throughout the country in that it
tends to put proceedings under the
antitrust laws on a more rational
basis" Victor A. Olander, secretary
treasurer of the Illinois Federation
of Labor, said when told Of the court
order.
1t will enable trade unions to Of
fer more effective defense than has
been possible under the indefinite al
legations resorted to in prosecutions

fortunate practice of using the GRIM

CHAMPION CHECKER MAN
TO APPEAR AT MILFORD

N. w. Banks, of Syracuse, N. Y,
who is accepted as the champion
blindfolded checker player of the Uni
ted States, will play the six best
Delaware checker players blindfolded
at a tournament to be held in one
of the new stores in the Windsor
block on Monday evening, December
16. The tournament is being spon-
sored by the Milford Checker Club,
with Benjamin B. Vineyard, James
Deputy and Roy Pettyjohn serving
as the committee on arrangements.
Those who have seen Mr.. Banks per-
form, say that his choice of the right
move, while blindfolded is uncanny,
and according to listing in the Ma
tional Checker Guide, he has yet to
suffer defeat while playing blind
folded, even when the odds are rails
ed from six to twelve. Mr.. Banks
will also demonstrate some of the
new moves which he learned during
a recent trip abroad, when he engag-
ed some of the worlds leading check
er players. A small admission will
be charged to defray the expenses
incurred in putting on the tourna-
ment.

London, July 20-(UP)-German
airplanes, reminders of Adolf Hti-

unless it surrendered, swarmed to-
day above the English channel,
