building technique and designs

A submarine now has no keel to

the scene with a Lopez Funeral

COMPULSORY UNIONIsM

An issue is before the people
nationally which threatens Individual

ours. Compulsory un3nism is the is
sue, which, il il goes into effect
would force any person to join q union
to hold Q job and earn a livelihood.
The union shop is the issue in at
least three cases being decided nov
by the Wage Sterilization Board. A
Presidential fact finding board has
recently recommended that the union
shop be imposed on a million non-op-
Grating railroad employees.
Union strategists some time ago
forced the Administration into giving
the Wage Sterilization board authori-

officials are now mounting pressure
on Wage Sterilization Board to

president has certified to the board
Such a recommendation would set
pattern for all industry, and there

SEATTLE, Oct. 14.-The United
Lutheran Church in America laid
Iplans today for an expanded mis-
Isionary program provided for in
lthe organizations budget which
will reach record high of over

The budget, up 14.7 per cent
from the 1928 figures, was ap-
proved late yesterday by delegates
to the 18th biennial convention of
the Lutheran church's largest
group.
Missions will get more than one
third OF the IL million dollars as
a result of approval by the dele
Igates of $2,206,5 500 for that service
in both years of the biennium.
They currently are allotted 81. 1.469,-

A report by the convention Off
cials said the higher figure will
permit the ULCA to establish

Another substantial increase
went to the Board of Pensions to
finance additional assistance voted
retired ministers, missionaries and
widows. An additional $16O,72C
was voted for this purpose, bring
ing the annual total to $640, 900
At the same time, the ULCA was
