All Public Works
In One Department
Aim of Byrne Bill
New Department Would In
clude All lob and Relief
Activities
Washington, D. C. (ILNS).—Sen
ator Byrnes of South Carolina has in
troduced a bill for a new cabinet De
partment of Public Works, hi this
would be merged the PWA, the WPA,
the Bureau of Public Roads, the Pub
lic Buildings Branch of the Treasury,
the Civilian Conservation Corps, and
the National Youth Administration. A
part of it also would be an amendment
to the present Social Security Act.
The Byrnes hill, as it stands, provides:
Federal contribution to local public
works, on the basis of not more than
2/3 of the money being put up by the
national government, not less than
1/3 by the local or state government.
Federal contributions shall be as
signed to the states each year in two
ways half on the basis of the popula
tion of that state as compared to the
population of the United States and
half on the ratio which that state's
unemployed bear to the total unem
ployed in the nation. The measure
provides for a continuous census of
unemployment.
To Increase Old Age Grants
It would broaden the Federal gov
ernment's share in old age assistance,
fo that the total amount shall not be
less than $15 a month. If the per
capita income of that state is less than
the average of the United States, the
state will reduce its contribution in
proportion, and the Federal govern
ment will make up the minimum of
$15.
The bill would have the Federal
government pay half the care of de
pendent children, instead of the pres
ent third. Minimum payment for one
dependent child would be raised to
$10, and for more than one child, .$20
a month. These last two items arc
substantially similar to the recom
mendations of the Social Security
Board.
Bill Broad in Scope
The bill requires the states to fix
unemployment compensation of $5
per week for anyone earning less thai
$15 a week, and so on up to $15 a
week for any individual earning above
$30 a week. Waiting time for unem
ployment benefits is cut to one week
from the time of discharge. The Fed
eral Employment Service is trans
ferred from the Labor Department to
the Social Security Board.
It will be seen that this is pretty
nearly an omnibus bill, dealing with
road building, public works of all
kinds, old age and dependent child
ren's aid, unemployment payments
and aid in getting jobs. It is highly
improbable that it will get through
is very likely that a Public Works De
Congress without some changes but it
partment will be created, with inon
or less of these functions placed under
it.

Central Body To Give
Inside Story
Perth Amboy, N. J.—The members)
of Local Union No. 96 have been keep
ing the good attendance resolution
made at the outset of the year. The
meeting Friday, February
21
was a
good indication that our members are
taking more interest in union affairs.
It was announced that Thomas
Kelly, president of the Perth Amboy
Central Body will speak at our next
regular meeting March 10. All mem
bers are urged to attend, as Tom
knows plenty about union activities
from top to bottom. I am sure that
everyone who attends will wonder how
some industries get away with the
things they pull, after listening to
some of the inside stories Tom intends
to tell.
Our old friend and member, Hugh
Church suggested that the good time's
ommittee get something moving in
the way of a celebration for the
twenty-fifth anniversary of this local.
The members went on record that on
April 14, the day after the signing of
the charter, there will be a good time
in store for our members and any of
the Executive Board who wishes to
attend.
Brother Job Adametz was married
February 21 and Mike Drotar on
February IS. Both boys are fine fel
lows, hard workers and we are sure
with the help of a better half they
will make a fine home. We wish them
good luck and happiness.—O. C.

years, and that the increased duties
of the Patrol under the provisions of
the bill would necessitate doubling tht
force of men as the present personnel
is inadequate to act as police officers
and highway patrolmen.
Although the highway patrol is
specifically prohibited from being used
as peace officers in connection with
any strike or labor dispute under the
present law and in the new measure
this is contradicted by the proposed
bill which gives the patrol full police
powers and authority, Secretary Don
nelly pointed out to the Committee.
Opposition to giving the highway
patrol police powers was also express
er by John W. Jockcl, president of the
Ohio State Building and Construction
Trades Council John C. Cetreu,
president of the Columbus Federation
of Labor S. W. McKee, representing
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En
gineers, and C. W. Vance, represent
ing the Order of Railway Conductors.
Dave Auch, secretary of the Ohio
Bankers Association, favored the bill
as a means of reducing the high rate
of heldups prevalent in Ohio.
Confectionery Workers
Walk Out In Strike
Washington, D. C.—Despite the em
ployment of gangsters, strike breakers
and scabs, by Mason and Magenheimer
Manufacturing Company of New York
and Brooklyn, in an effort to terrorize
the strikers to the end that the or
ganization of this plant would be a
failure, the strike is still on. The
strike has entered its third week and
will be continued until an acceptable
agreement, guaranteeing union work
ing conditions, can be reached accord
ing to a report from the Bakery and
Confectionery Workers' International
Union of America.

Beauticians Lobby
For Bill Creating
Higher Standards
Beauty Rushed To Aid Sen
ate Bill As Legislators
Perk Up
Columbus, O. (OLNS).—Beauteous
beauticians and cosmetically correct
cosmetologists swarmed into the hear
ing room of the Senate Committee on
Commerce and Labor last week in sup
port of Senate Bill No. 61, which pro
poses to raise the standards of the
beauty parlor industry.
Committee members, jaded and
tired from weeks of listening to argu
I ments of male opponents and propon
ents of bills assigned to it for consid
eration, perked up considerably when
the "beauty lobby" appeared to make
itself seen and heard favorably on the
measure.
Feminine defenders of cosmetology
and beauty culture schools vied with
spokesladies for the operating and
managing sisterhood for the Commit
tee's favorable recognition of their
arguments.
Statements made were received with
applause and cheers or laughter and
outspoken denials according to the re
action of the demonstrative pros and
cons in the audience.
Finally a substitute bill which met
objections raised by organized male
barbers who are jealously guarding
their ancient right to cut and trim
the hair of the human race was ac
cepted by the Committee for further
study.
Briefly, the bill proposes to bring
free beauty parlor services under the
jurisdiction of the Board of Cos
metology, prohibit the practice of cos
metology on Sunday, and to raise re
quirements for the practice of cos
metology.

and expressed his desire for. another
social in the near future with more
members and their wives in attend
ance.
The women present were heartily in
accord with the wish of" the president
and declared themselves to be eager
to attend more socials along the same
order.
Of great help in making the night
a success were Lee Gabis and Lucilh
Lombardi, who served as hostesses
In addition to these duties, they ably
demonstrated the latest dances. It
would appear that the men will have
to learn a few new steps if they are
desirous to match their skill with that
of the girls.
Just a word as to the importance
of our next meeting. There will be
a question of going along with Trades
and Labor Assembly in moving to
new hall. A splendid proposition has
been made the Assembly. A second
story room at the corner of Washing
ton street and Croton avenue will be
remodeled at a cost of $1,300, but in
order to get the room at a rental of
$50 per month, the Body is requested
to pay a year's rent in advance and
the potters are asked to likewise.
More important is the primary elec
tion of national officials which will be
held at this time.
Universal is working five days a
week. It is hoped that all the news
we hear of a sanitary boom will aid
the sanitary potters in their desire
for a raise in wages.—O. C. 133.

New Jersey.—Louis P. Marciante
president of the State Federation
Labor, said recently the organization
is in accord with the American Fo
eration of Labor in its opposition
the Patman Chain Store Tax Bill
Marciante declared the leaders of
State Federation "see eye to eye" with
President Green that the bill "runs
in direct opposition to the entire tre

of established policy on the part

Retail Merchants'
Spokesman Slaps
Right To Picket
Argues Against Proposition
To Regulate Issuance
oi Injunctions
Columbus, 0. (OLNS).—The right
of labor to peacefully picket was chal
lenged by J. C. Lucas, representative
of the Ohio Council of Retail Mer
chants, in his argument against House
Bill No. 16, proposing to regulate the
issuance of injunctions in labor dis
putes, before the House Judiciary
Committee last week.
"A picket line at a factory on 'the
outskirts of a city might not mean
very much," Lucas told the Committee,
but pickets before a department store
have a decided effect on business. We
feel that we should have full pro
tection against such practices."
Lucas was assured by Representa
tive Lody Huml, Cleveland, author of
the bill, that the measure does not
prevent the court from issuing an in
junction, but merely outlines the pro
cedure to be followed in the issuance
of injunctions during labor disputes.
J. O. Mauley, representing the In
dustrial Association of Cincinnati, ob
jected to the bill as being "specialized"
legislation, but when asked if he
would object to regulating the issu
ance of injunctions in all cases, he ad
mitted that he was opposed to any
limitation of injunction procedure.
Attorney Webb Vorys, representing
the Manufacturers' Association, op
posed the bill as "another attempt to
regulate industry." R. L. McCann,
representing a Dayton law firm, stated
that the bill differed widely from the
Federal Norris-LaGuardia act, but
was unable to present the Committee
with any facts after comparing the
bill with the Federal law.
Rebuttal arguments to opposition
statements were scheduled for this
week when the Committee resumed
consideration of the proposed law.
NOT THAT HE KNEW
"Have you been through calculus?"
inquired the college professor.
"Not unless I passed through at
night on my way here," replied the
new student. "I'm from Kansas, you
know."
