posedly union, decorated cake for
Washington's Birthday and then put
Japanese hatchet on the top. We
agreed to notify the baker to discon-
tinue this practice or we will have to
buy elsewhere. If we are vigilant on
this subject we will really accomplish
something yet as no manufacturer
likes that sort of noteriety.
The clay shop membership was pres
ent with a heated grievance over the
locals action to make a uniform
starting time in the clay shop. After
some very able discussion on the sub
ject and a tangle over the legality of
the union to take such action and abil-
ity to rescind such an action, they
finally wiped it off the record. The
fnishers now start at $50 or what
ever time their superior tells them to
start. The effort to establish uni
form starting time was suggested to
see if some time couldn't be given the
unemployed finishers. We have a few
who aren't working at all and a few
who are filling in on jobs, thus the
action to start them at one set time.
But the jiggermen objected so strong
ly and as we had the people on the
floor who made the move, it was voted
to rescind the motion.
At the end of the meeting the So
cial committee served doughnuts and
coffee. We hope to continue this as
it tends to make the feeling of fellow.
ship stronger, and we do need some
of it here in our local.
With so many things to be done be-
fore the first of May, it behooves each
and everyone of US to be at the meet
ings to help the various groups gel
} things into shape. Remember, this il
conference year and the need of th'
pottery industry is indeed drastic. Th'
only people who can remedy this stu
alton is the members of the organiza
ton. There seems to be the idea tha
each individual should be interested il
only his own department., but not so
/. united we stand, divided we fall. I
we cannot recognize our brothers
troubles here we can't expect him t.
recognize our grief at the convention
So let's share our time and effort
for each other.
The next meeting will be held Marcl
at the same place.-O. C. 70.

commodities the domestic prices for

The final opposition effort came
when Representative Treadway of

Scrap Iron Ship 10 Sail
For Japan, Clears Libel
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, July 31.-The way ap-
parently was cleared today for the
sailing tomorrow of the Panama
registered freighter Mira1ores with
a cargo of scrap metal for Japan
when agents announced they would
post bond to cover a claim against
the vessel by the French Maritime
Commission.
In any event, the new Federal
license requirement for export of
scrap metal would not restrain the
vessel from sailing, because the
cargo would be aboard when the
regulation becomes effective at mid
night.
The French Maritime Commission
claimed in its action that an agree
ment was made with the owners of
the Miraflores, the Mirafores
Steamship Co., Ltd, to release the
vessel from charter to the commits
sion for f4.591 (about S17,500). The
commission contended the charter
was Cancelled but no money was
paid.
The action also claimed the
French advanced the Mirafores
captain about 81 400 for necessary
expenses and asked reimbursement.

Lifelong Democrat
A Sure Bet This Year
By the Associated Press.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, July
31.-Wendell L. Willkie Is greatly
pleased" by the promise Of Alfred

bearer in 1928, to campaign &C
lively in his behalf.
The brown-derbied Happy Wai-
rior" and Samuel Seebury, former
Investigator Of New York City's gov
ernment, both declared for the Re-
publican nominee late yesterday.
Mr.. Willkie said he was gratified by
the offers.
The nominee told reporters he
had spent most of yesterday work.
ing on Republican organizational
problems and that he would meet
Saturday with Chairman Martin of
the Republican National Commit
tee, John Hamilton, the commit

party leaders.

ie-for-President groups that have
pledged support is being undertaken,
Mr.. Willkie said.
A conference on farm problems

WILKES calendar for today.
Willkie Greatly Pleased"
Il am greatly pleased that one
of Gov. Smiths public standing and
reputation should support me-" Mr.
Willkie said after learning of the
New Workers. declaration.
He referred to President Roose-
velt's recent comment that some
prominent Democrats who had Of
tered their support to Mr.. Wnlkie
thought more of money than hu-
manity, and remarked:
Il hope that is not said of Gov
Smith. The man started from the
sidewalks of New York. He was a
great liberal Governor of New York
LAS a matter of fact, his liberal
principles were those adopted by his
two successors, Franklin Roosevelt
and Gov. Herbert Lehman"
Mr.. Smith, who took a walk out of
his party's 1896 convention, said in
lengthy statement that "Willkie S
nomination at Philadelphia was
brought about in democratic and
American way. in contrast to the
subservient and boss-controlled New
Deal bloc who had the nerve to
style themselves a Democratic con-
vention. -"
Death Knell for Democrats"
L and millions of other genuine
Democrats throughout the United
States will continue to protect and
defend true Democratic prin-
He said "the recent so-cailed
Democratic Convention in Chicago
sounded the death knell of the Dem
ocratic party"
Mr.. Smith described Mr.. Willkie
as "a lifelong Democrat" and told
reporters it looks like "a sure bet
for Willkie" this year.
Mr.. Smith said the Democratic
party had been taken over by q
minority bloc" twice in recent years
first by the Prohibitionists and
then by the New Dealers.

Health Service Beqins
Tests With 5-Day
Syphilis Treatment
Animal Experiments
Should Aid in Perfectinq
Method Still Uncertain

Animal experiments with the new
five-day syphilis treatment, which
has proved effective in certain cases,
but which is not yet ready for gen.
eral use. have been begun by the
United States Public Health Service.
The tests, being made at Johns
Hopkins University by DR.. Harry
S. Eagle of the Public Health Serv-
ice, are expected to provide much
needed data on the physical reac-
tions of the drugs used In the two
short-period methods that have been
evolved to date.
Employing rabbits as subjects, DR..
Eagle is observing the effect of the
continuous, intravenous drip pro-
cedure worked out by physicians at
Mount Sinai Hospital in New York
and the intensive injection method
that has been used intermittently
since World War days.
Success has been reported, in
some instances, with both methods.
But many complications, such as
skin ailments, polyneuyitis and brain
hemorrhage, have been noted.
Results from the animal expert
ments should aid in perfecting the
treatments, it was said. and may
show which method is superior.
In the intravenous drip treat
ment, a hypodermic needle is kept
continuously in the patients vein at
the bend of the elbow and the drug
flows into the blood stream drop by
drop. In most of the intensive in
lection treatments to date, drugs are
injected three times daily. In many
instances, the treatments have been
completed in four days.

Six W.P. A. Writers
Suspended for Giving
Red Endorsement
Deny Communist
Affiliotion, but
Book Accuses Them
By the Associated Presx.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 31.--Six en-.
ployes OF the w. P. A. writer's and
historical records projects have been
suspended, the administration said
today, because they indorsed as
Communist party members a pres
entation copy of an Earl Browder
book.
The book was "The Peoples Front"
by the Communist party leader pre-
sented in 1888 to Edwin Banta, a
writer's project worker, by fellow
workers. Banta afterward resigned
from the Communist party and was
a Dies Committee witness.
Photographs of the inscription in
the book submitted to the Woodrum
Congressional w. P. A. Investigating
Committee disclosed, the w. P. A.
said, signatures of the six workers
preceded by:
Presented to Comrade Edwin
Banta by members of the Federal
Writers Unit, No 365, Communist
Party Of the United States of
America, in recognition of his de-
votion and untiring efforts in behalf
OF our party and Communism"
In the recent w. P. A. Communist
purge, the w. P. A. said, the six
signed affidavits denying they were
members of the Communist party.
These aff1davits have been sent to
Washington for investigation and
II they are deemed fraudulent, the
six will be turned over to Federal
authorities here.
The Workers Alliance protested
that the suspended workers had
been denied right of hearing and
appeal, and planned to send COM
mittee to Washington to confer with

Federal Reserve
Officials Inspect
Switching Center
New System Designed
To Speed Exchange
Of Wire Messages

A new switching center, designed
to speed exchange of telegraphic
messages among units of the Fed
eral Reserve System, was inspected
by officials in the Federal Reserve
Board Building today, as the install
lation underwent "shakedown," :"
with operators-to-be receiving in
struction from telegraph company
experts.
Engineers explained the apparatus
is intended to meet special needs
of the Federal Reserve for prompt
receipt of messages and constitutes a
nerve center" at which telegraphic
communications are routed to their
destinations without retyping. Since
the Federal Reserves message VOL
ume, although large, does not war
rant maintenance Of private wires
from each point in the system to
each of the others, it was said, such
retyping often has been necessary
in the past.
The new method utilizes a ire
perforator" process. Messages cone
into the switching center in the
form of holes punched in tape but
also are carried on the paper in let
tiers and figures. Noting from the
First word the point for which the
communication is intended. the op-
orator plugs in tie proper cable and
she message, as it is typed at the
point OF origin, moves through the
center and on to the receiving sta
ton without loss of time in re-
typing.
A special arrangement permits
transmission of certain periodic
Treasury Department reports to all
stations of the network .,imultan-
eously. The Atlanta and New York
circuits are of the duplex, or two
@t-a-time type.
An automatic message-numbering
device, to safeguard against loss of
messages, is part of the center.
WesterfA Union engineers, who de-
veloped the switching center set
up, said it cost more.+han $4,000 TO
build and install.
