FIRING AT PAPY

Criticism levelled at Representative
Papy for his efforts to obtain legislation
permitting sale of liquor within 800 feet of
the San Carlos school will strike most Key
Westers as unjust
Several Florida newspapers have con-
demned the Papy bill as an effort to 'chisel
att general state law, and Governor Hol-
land indirectly handed the representative
a rebuke for urging passage of a bill which
would set bad precedent.
The situation arose here because of a
peculiar, although generally accepted in
depreciation of the law restricting liquor
sales in the neighborhood of schools. Until
a recent decision of the attorney generals
office. it had been understood that the
30O-foot limit meant the route which nor
mally would be taken by person walk
ing.
Thus the assumption was that person
wishing to go to the Boat Bar from the
school would not walk across the street, a
distance of about 20 feet, but would, in COM
pliance with traffic regulations, walk to the
corner, cross the street and walk back, a
distance of more than 800 feet.
The new Interpretation, therefore,
serves, not to prevent the opening of liquor
stores III the neighborhood of schools, but
to eliminate three businesses which have
been assumed to be perfectly legal.
II In Papy's defense, too, it might be
pointed out that few, if any, of Florida
cities have schools on their main streets,
preventing the sale of liquor in the two
busiest downtown blocks.
Thirdly, the fact that the tiny school
is located on Cuban government property
brings up the question local lawyers are
studying of whether the 300-foot law APP
plies. During national prohibition in the
United States, foreign consulates were per-
mitted to serve liquor on their own grounds,
and in the present case it would appear that
the shoe merely has been transferred to the
other foot.

TWO ACTIONS TO THE SHAME OF THE
FLORIDA HOUSE
Tampa Daily Tines


There are at least two actions of which the
Flofida House, as body or as individual repre-
sentatives cannot be proud. They are the over
riding Of Governor Hollands veto of a special
Monroe County act which would permit the sale of
LIQUOR within 800 feet of school, and the failure
Of the House to prohibit the employment of legis-
lators at horse tracks
Representative Papy, of Monroe County,
curiously enough, was interested in both. He was
particularly active in behalf of the proposed new
Key West liquor place and read telegram from
the head of Cuban school there, who said that
sales OF liquor do not harm our interests The
House then voted As to IA to override the Cover
nor's veto.
This chiseling away at the State law does harm
to the public interest in Florida which is the only
valid point for the Legislature to consider.
The employment Of legislators al horse tracks
is even more dangerous to the public interest Rep
resentative Shivers, of Washington County, COM
mendably proposed to ban IL pointing out that sew
cral legislators perhaps many as Will accept
iobs-are paid 50 day by the tracks, and if they
don't vote right IN the sassicn. asssfenos likely
10 get their track Jobs back. N
Again IL was Representative Papy who asked
aArcns you gong little far afeid 10 deprive any
member OF this body Of livelihood"
Ii IS reasonable to wonder if the horse track
ohhoders told the voters before the election that
the only way They could make living was BY
working with gambling interests would voters

that American naval intervention now

sea-power is being spread thinner than

cording to German strategy, it will break"

Union Protects The Living And Working Standards
 Of Its Membership

More than l,OOO,O ,OOO trucks now operate on American highways hauling defense goods and the Of flee of Production Management es- inmates that another million new trucks will be needed next year. The national emergency has dram atized the key position of the truck driver today and the import ance of his union, the Internation- al Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs and Helpers of Ameri- ca, the largest union in the Ameri- can Federation of Labor.
 Sidney Hillman, O.P.M. Associate Director-General, testified before a special Senate committee in Washing ton, that the Teamsters Union in De- troit, key center of defense, was tre- mendously important factor in all relative problems.
 The Detroit local will dedicate its new $7O000 headquarters at Trum- bull and Ferry Streets Nov. 6 with Int. Pres. Daniel J. Tobin as the guest of honor.
 MEN BEHIND THE WHEEL
 The men behind the wheel have re- sponded to the safety drives initiated by the union, in many cases with the cooperation of the management. Fig ures released by the Interstate Com merce Commission show a 29@o de- cline in fatal accidents in the past 10 years. The Commissions report proves that the teanisters are the saf- est and most polite drivers on the highways today. For skill and cour- tesy in driving traffic specialists have named them, "the gentlemen of the highway"
 They fully deserve the wage in creases their union is securing in signed agreements throughout the country. The Akron (Ohio) local signed a city-wide agreement with 54 firms, assuring 600 drivers an cent hourly wage increase. Ali 8-day walk out brought trucking to a standstill.
 67l WINS
 An increase of five cents an hour, from 85 to 90 cents, has been won by Local 671, Truck Drivers Union, of Hartford. Ac- cording to Harold F. Galloway, secretary of the local, the men rejected strike proposals, and ac- .cepted the increase.
 In Rochester, N. Y., the drivers of sanitation trucks won 10 cent hourly raises through a fve-day strike. The city administration had called the walkout illegal, but ducked the issue of collective bargaining by awarding the garbage collecting rights to pri- vate contractor. The new agreement signed by the private contractor sets the new hourly minimum at 68 cents.
 UNION ACTIVITIES
 The Teamsters Union has not only preserved the living stand ards of its membership in the face of the rising cost of living, but has been instrumental in as- surfing healthier working condi- tions and safer equipment. The union driver retains all his fac ulties for driving, he doesn't un- load or load the truck. The un- ion has long recommended uni form safety standards, including the eight-hour day, and U. s. Land Authority to assure uni- form regulations throughout the country and a planned system of
