front worker, pleaded not guilty
today to charges of failing to reg
lister for conscription and was Or
dered to appear in federal court

vised the prisoner he was virtually
butting his head against a stone
wall in attempting to fight the
charges But Zuziak insisted on his
not guilty plea.
A marine hospital commission
informed the judge it had examined
zuziak and had found him legally
sane.
Zuziak was in the San Francisco
Jail on other charges on registra-
ton day. He refused to register,
holding he did not want to become
"a guinea pig for the British"

Firemen Cancel
Benefit Dance

Rather than in any way hinder
the chest campaign, the firemen
would prefer to forego the privilege
of holding their annual fete,' Chief
Miller added.
In the past the proceeds from
the ball have gone into a fund to
pay firemen's insurance premiums
and help the families of former
firemen who were in need. The de-
patment hoped that a small regu-
lar revenue derived from refilling
fire extinguishers would be suffi-
cient to continue the fund.
"In the interests of the chest
drive, 1 hope other organizations
who scheduled annual affairs to
raise revenue would follow suit
Chief Miller concluded.

of FL Centre that there would be
no Firemen's Ball this year.
Every year since a fire depart
ment existed in Ell Centre there
has been a Firemen's Ball. Chief
Miller said. But this year will be
an exception. The reason is that
we wish to do our part in throwing

events as the Firemen's Ball can
not help but detract somewhat from

For some amusing stories, get
Pete Ostrander to talking some time
about the accomplishments OF John
the Tiny Hansen, Westmorlands
mountain of muscle.
John weighs something in the
neighborhood of 800 pounds, has to
take shower baths because tubs
aren't big enough for him, always
stands in a strangers home until
he is sure the chairs are extra
strong.
Don't forget to ask Pete about
the time John was at the Legion
Convention in San Diego, collapsed
a bed by sitting on 1t and then
sgave the hotel manager Hail Col
umbia for having such puny furni-
ture!

Although the so Sergeanettes of

Lolita who is about SO big, was
SO cute at the game Friday night
in her white uniform, and swung
her batcn and got mixed up in the
drilling in suC;l a. charming FASH
ion that she stole the show!
Too Much Company
With rare forethought, Carol
Bishop of Holtvile decided Sat-

ahead of time.
She was born on Nov. IL anC
from here it looks as though she
had better celebrate now and havc

Friday night the newly built

aged that it will be quite a spell
before Hans is again called upon

Don't let it surprise you if Hans

AFL Auto Workers
RdtifY c. M. Pact
Better Conditions Coined for
Workers Than Are Enjoy
ed By CIO Members

Detroit, Mich.-After unanimous ap-
proval by all General Motors locals,
the new GM contract was signed by
| UAW-AFL officials. The new con-
tract contains number Of distinct
Improvements over the old contract
and over the new CIO contract
! The corporation had offered to the
UAWAFL the Identical contract that
was accepted by the CIO and which
was termed by them "the greatest ad-
vance in the history Of automobile
unionism," but the UAW-AF'L repre-
sentatives did not feel this was the
best that could be obtained. SO they
rejected the CIO contract and con-
tinued negotiations to obtain improve
ments They were successful.
The UAW-AFL obtained all of the
economic demands the CIO was able
to get such as the increase in wages
equivalent to increasing the average
wage level u cents per hour and
the vacation with pay provision. The
Improvements in the UAW-AFL con-
tract are chiefly in the grievance pro-
cedure, the clause on wage payment
plans, and the provision governing
strikes and stoppages.
In the UAW-AFL contract the
grievance procedure is shortened and
simplifed. The time allowed for final
disposition Of grievances appealed
from the plant management has been
cut to 10 days The CIO allowed Is
days. The grievance procedure was
shortened by seven more days by cut
ting out the provision in the pro-
cedure which makes handling of griev-
ances by the Regional Director sep
arate step. In the NAW-AFL contract
the Regional Director may participate
in an appeal case but his doing so
does not involve lengthening the time
taken for settlement of grievances by
full week or more as is the case
in the CIO contract.
Another distinct Improvement in the
UAW-AFL contract is that no re-
strictions are placed on the impartial
umpire. Any type of grievance may
be appealed TO the umpire, while in
the CIO contract no grievance involv-
ing wages or speedup may be ap-
pealed.
In the clause Oh wage payment
plans the UAW-AFL contract pro-
vides that the company must figure
its production costs based on normal
operations in determining the hourly
wage scale when plant is changed
over from a piecework or other "in-
centive" wage system. This means
that the company cannot take either
the beginning or the end of a pro-
duction season as the period it uses
to determine what the production
costs are in a plant that is to be
changed over to hourly rate. The
.CIO contract contains no such pro-
lection

Unsolved Problem: How To
Make Earnings of Few
Weeks Reuch

Washington, D. C. 0LNS).-Trade
union action and public support of
labor laws have increased rates of pay
in the women's and children's cloth
ing industry through the years, says
Miss Bertha M. Nienburg, chief econ
omist Of the Women's Bureau, U. S.
Department of Labor in discussing
the findings of bureau survey.
The still unsolved problem Of both
employer and employe is how to make
the high earnings in the few busy
weeks of seasonal employment spread
over the many slack weeks of little
or no work, Miss Nienburg says.
Earnings and hours were the sub
ject of the survey, the results of which
are told in a new Women's Bureau re-
port. The industry it deals with was
formerly one of the worst sweated
fields Of employment for women. The
investigation, planned and directed by
Miss Nienburg, was undertaken at
the request Of the Labor Departments
Wage and Hour Division for use in
the minimum-wage deliberations Of it's
women's apparel industry committee.
The total number of firms for which
payroll data were secured amounted
to almost half of all the firms in the
women's and children's apparel indus
try in the spring of 1889. The firms
included were in % states and en-
ployed over 100000 workers, of whom
IS per cent were women.
The wage data given in the report
are representative of a period of
steady operation and are not typical
of all weeks throughout the year, Miss
Nienburg cautioned, Earnings arg
considerably reduced during dull
seasons.
The center of the women's and child
ren's apparel industry still remains
in New York City. Over 40 per cent
