DIESEL LOCOMOTIVE
SETS new RECORD

Baltimore, Md. (ILNS).-A new all
time world record for continuous rail
road locomotive performance is be-
lieved to have been set on February 25
when Diesel-electric locomotive No. Sc
pulled into Washington with the Cap
itol Limited of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, the B. & o. says. This ar
rival marked the 365th daily run of
the locomotive between Chicago and
Washington without a miss, for a
total of more than 280,000 miles. So
far as is known no locomotive of any
type ever before has established a rec
ord of 100 per cent availability in such
gruelling service for a solid year.
The record is regarded as being the
more remarkable because it was made
on a 772-mile run calling for regu-
larly scheduled average speed of more
than Sc miles per hour over a route
which includes some of the heaviest
mountain grades in the eastern sec
tion of the country. The Capitol Linz
tied regularly consists of from eleven
to as many as fifteen standard weight
Pullman cars, ranking it with the
heaviest fast-schedule passenger trains
in the country.

WHEELER WARNS
OF DICTATORSHIP

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) S).-Free-
dom and democracy here would face
almost certain death if war comes to
the United States, Senator Burton X.
Wheeler of Montana warned in writ
ing in the Virginia Quarterly Review.
He urged the government to concen-
trate on solving domestic problems,
as the best means to preserve democ-
racy in a world at war.
If the United States is drawn into
the European war, "a dictatorship as
absolute as any the world has known"
will be established here, Wheeler pre-
dicted.
"War creates dictators, and rarely
deposes them," he wrote. with the
loss of civil rights, guaranteed by CEN
turies of American tradition, we might
easily lose our cherished democracy.
"It may be said that this is painting
too black picture. But already the
heads of government departments in
Washington have been asked to report
their military experience S. to pre-
pare blueprints for actions if war
comes war measures have been
drawn up by which the machinery of
military dictatorship could be set in
motion overnight"
He derided "those who urge that we
would profit by a war boom," and as
serted that "it is we'll that this false
but generally accepted notion has been
punctured by events in England and
France" He cited the fact that de-
spite war activities there still are l.
100000 unemployed in England.
Wheeler urged the U. S. govern
ment devote it's full attention to solv-
ing domestic problems, and said that
employment for the 100000 to 10,-
100000 workers, who, through no fault
of their own, are without jobs, and
fair prices for farm products-these
will do more to preserve democracy in
the United States than all the armies
and navies in the world"

MIGRANTS MUST BE-
HELPED, WARNING

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Warn-
ing of serious trouble in California
unless aid is given the "Okies" and
"Arkies migrants from the dust
bowl states-was given here by Carey
McWilliams, California commissioner
of immigration and housing.
"Hell is going to start popping be-
fore long in California unless solu-
tions of the relief and migratory labor
problems are found" he told federal
relief officials to whom he appealed
for aid. He predicted that a new
California relief law would force at
least 100000 migrant workers off re-
lief rolls and that "they are not 60
ing to take it lying down."
He declared the new law was de-
signed to starve migrant workers into
leaving the state.
"It was forced upon the state by
the same old reactionary gang that
has been running California for fif-
teen or twenty years." he said. "That
gang now is working through the
Associated Farmers, an organization
of large landowners in California"
McWilliams' conferences with fed
eral officials produced little hope of
additional help. He said that he found
"no hope whatever" here of sufficient
assistance.

Ohio Administrator and Social Security Board Agree
Benefit Payments adequate-Average Payment to
Claimants S1O6S2 in First Full Year of Law
(By Ohio Labor Meas SeyVice)

Columbus, Ohio.-That Ohio's Un-
employment Compensation law, in con-
junction with the Federal Social Sc
curity Act, has demonstrated it's abil-
ity to function as the agency for COM
batting business depressions and pc
riods of unemployment, and that the
time has come to liberalize benefit pay
ments, is shown by the first annual
report of Administrator H. C. Atkin-
son made to Governor John w. Bricker
last week.
That amendments to the law are
necessary and should be made by leg
islative enactments is the recommen-
dation of the administrator, who says
formula for determining the average
weekly wage and the weekly benefit
amount, one of the big problems be-
fore the bureau, should be written into
the law. This, he says, ''would elm
mate administrative discretion, be
more equitable and easier to under
stand and should provide more ade-
quate benefits"
During the first full year of benefit
payments to eligible unemployed Ohio
men and women there was issued
total of 2,419,105 payments to 221, ,755
claimants, representing $23,662, ,121.45,
an average of $106.82 per claimant.
The average check for week of total
unemployment was $1O.25; for partial
unemployment, $5.12.
Approximately six per cent of all
payments for total unemployment
were for amounts less than So.
Nearly two out of every three checks
for total unemployment ranged in size
from SIS to $12.75.
Only 19 per cent received the max
imum benefits of SIS.
Three-fourths of the benefit pay
ments for weeks of partial employ
ment amounted to less than 81 each.
Slightly more than half of these were
for less than $5. Twenty-four per
cent ranged from 81 to $12, the max
imum for partial unemployment being

of the law through 1889, totaled $780,

fund amounted to 5,148,325.28. Dur
ing 1889 total of $58,264,610.74 in
contributions and interest was col

A. j. Altmeyer, chairman of the
Federal Social Security Board, during
the past week advocated liberalizing
benefits under state laws, pointing out
that Ohio and other states "are piling
up surpluses too fast and too great"
| Cost of administration of the Ohio
bureau was given as 1921 ,450.75, in
Guiding $1,026,473.95 which was the
cost of the Employment Service. This
is 5.5 per cent as compared with an
average of 8.5 per cent in all states,
according to the report of the Social
Security Board. Costs of the Ohio
bureau in relation to net benefits paid
was 1876 per cent.

Columbus, o. (OLNS). - John M.
Collins, counsel for the Columbus
Barbers' Union, announced last week
his intention to appeal at once to the
Court of Appeals the decision of Judge
John r. King of the Franklin County
Common Pleas Court in which he held
unconstitutional the Columbus ordi-
nance passed by City Council fixing
the price of haircut at so cents and
shaves at 25 cents and $50 registra-
tion fee for new BARRIERS.
Judge King made permanent an in
junction granted against enforcement
of the provisions of the new ordinance
which was passed in an attempt to
rescue the barbering industry of this
city from ruinous cut-throat competi-
tion which has resulted in the lower
ing Of the standards to the detriment
of both the BARRIERS and their Gus
toners.
A three-year fight in Columbus re-
suited first in getting the right to en-
force closing ordinance which has
been approved by the courts, and, last
December, the minimum price ordi-
nance was passed. Two cut-rate bar
bers, running neighborhood shops,
brought suit to enjoin enforcement and
have won temporarily. One of the
plaintiffs, Harry G. Henslee, is 78
years old and, besides running shop
where he cuts adults hair for 25 cents
and children's hair for Is cents, oper-
ates mission and breaches for fu-
nerals and weddings on the side. The
other plaintiff, James r. Hoisington,
is Henslee's son in-law and operates
shop in his home with his wife's as
sistance.
Upon the testimony Of these plain
tiffs Judge King in decision verbally
rendered from the bench, occupying
more than one hours time held that
the minimum price provisions of the
ordinance violated the state and fed
eral constitutions. Counsel for the
BARRIERS and the city contended that he
had reversed himself in that he had
previously sustained the right of the
dry cleaning industry to fix prices and
regulate wages on the ground that it
had relation to public welfare.
Judge King said in his opinion that
he could see no relation between the
public welfare and the regulations of
the price of haircut BARRIERS had
contended that state and city sanitary
regulations were factor in the cost
of haircutting and barbering.
Judge King resorted to that old
long -whiskered boy-the law of sup
ply and demand-contending that you
cannot by legislation change its fun
damental application.
Columbus BARRIERS, confident that the
Supreme Court will take more mod
ern view of their cause, are going to
perfect an appeal to the higher courts.
Meanwhile a number OF other ONO
cities contemplating similar legisla-
ton will await the outcome of the
Columbus case.
Wage Board Announced
A minimum wage board to study
and ascertain fair rate of pay for
employees in the cosmetology profess
sion, appointed last week by George
A. Strain, director of industrial rela-
tions, will meet Immediately after
Easter, March "a, to organize.
Named on this board are the fol-
lowing:

Ought to Liberalize Payments

Administrator Atkinson, in his re-
port says: "It is the studied Judgment
o fbureau officials that Ohio ought to
liberalize it's benefit payments so that
its workers who become unemployed
might more easily meet their basic
family needs. Any benefit formula
under which nearly three-ffths of the
weekly checks for total unemployment
are less than $11 each can hardly be
considered adequate"
The Board of Review
Reporting on appeals to the Board
of Review from the administrator
decision, the director says there were
1928 appeals during the year and 1857
cases disposed of. A total of 1,066
decisions were rendered. The director
was sustained in three-fourths of
these, he says. Nearly three-ifths of
the claims were initiated by claimants
and two-ffths by employers.
In more than third of the ap-
peals the issue related to amount of
the average weekly wage. In one
fifth the issue related to eligibility re-
quirement of employment in 20 weeks
of the year preceding the date of the
claim. Penalty assessments for claim
ants reported to have quit voluntarily
without just cause or to have been dis
charged for misconduct, account for
about ten per cent of the appeals.
Other Changes Recommended
In his report the administrator
points out that Ohio has no minimum
benefit payment, although experience
has shown that nearly six per cent of
its payments for weeks of total unem-
ployment amounts to less than SIS.
adoption of minimum in Ohio"
says the report, would make advis-
able flat earnings requirement in
addition to employment in 20 weeks in
base period of one year as an eli
gibility requirement"
Reduction of the waiting period"
requirement from three weeks, as pro-
vided in the Ohio law, to two weeks,
is recommended by the administrator.
The annual report of the Federal
Social Security Board shows half the
states which amended their laws dur
ing the past year reduced the waiting
period to two weeks. Chairman Alt
maier in the Social Security Bulletin
for January says: "Now that the
states have overcome most admins
trative difficulties, the waiting period
can we'll be reduced to one week"
Simplifcation of the partial unem-
ployment provision in the Ohio law is
recommended by Administrator Atkin-
son, who described Ohio's system as
zone of the least satisfactory" "No
state" he said, ''has found salts
factory method of adjusting benefits
for partial unemployment"
Atkinson suggests provision that
claimants partly employed be entitled
to draw the difference between weekly
benefit amount for total unemploy-
ment and their earnings in partial en-
ployment, plus So or So additional
benefit, to encourage them to accept
or seek partial employment.
