What labor appears to overlook is
that the great employers' organiza
tions which are attempting to destroy
the trade unions in the industrial field
are organized upon the legislative
field much better than labor, and well
financed. With the interest exhibited

Labor Received No Consideration
At Hands of Ohio Legislature
LEGISLATIVE
Greetings! This legislative letter,
the last to be sent you this year, ac
companies the Quarterly Bulletin,
in which will be found a partial re
port of the work of the Ohio State
Federation of Labor during the ses
sion of the 1929 legislature. While
labor received little consideration at
the hands of the legislature in respect
to enacting laws benecial to labor, the
members of affiliated organizations
should realize that if there had been
no person or organization to combat
unfriendly legislation, some of it
would have been enacted into law, to
the injury of the toilers of the state.

LETTER No. 5
by the rank and file of organized la
bor in legislation, and the lack of
funds on the part of the federation
to do the legislative work as it should
be done ,it is a wonder that labor has
been able to defeat its enemies and
make any progress whatever.
While labor had some friends in
the legislature, it had no champions.
On the other hand, it had many that
were unfriendly and active. Only the
greatest vigilance prevented these
persons from injuring labor.
A very good question for labor to
ask its state representatives and
state senators NOW is, "What did
you do for labor?"
It is to be hoped that labor will
next year realize the importance of
greater political activity before the
primaries, and nominate trade union
ists and friends who will champion
its cause when elected to the legisla
ture.
It is also hoped that labor will give
somi? attention to the lack of finances
to properly conduct the business of
the federation, especially during the
sessions of the legislature, and take
some action as will provide the
finances.
Your legislative agent wants to
thank the various organizations and
legislative committees for assistance
given during the session of the legis
lature.
Fraternally,
THOS. J. DONNELLY,
Sec.-Treas. & Legis. Agent,
Ohio State Federation of Labor.

A Cloud for Lining
It was their first quarrel, and it
lasted longer than post-honeymoon
squabbles generally do. But finally it
was over, ancf the wife was confiding
to a friend. "My dear, it was really
terrible while tt lasted," she said.
"But I'm glad in a sense. See what a
splendid present Percy gave me after
ward/'
Her friend picked up the magnifi
cent evening wrap. "Oh, how gor
geous to have a husband like that!
she cried. "That's a cloud with
silver-fox lining."—Yorkshire Post.
Colonial Bedsteads
The turn-up bedstead was popular
in New England. "This," writes Alice
Morse Earle, "was a strong frame
filled with a network of rope, which
was fastened at the bed head by
hinges to the wall. By night the foot
of the bed rested on two heavy legs.
By day the frame, with its bed fur
nishings, was hooked up to the wall
and covered with homespun curtains
and doors." These beds were in the
kitchen, the place chosen because the
room was the warmest In the bouse.
African Tribal Language
One of the greatest difficulties ot
missionaries In the Sudan lies in the
perfect babel of languages existing
among Its many tribes, a great chal
lenge to the ambitious linguist, as
there are no books of any kind among
them, and no teachers. Added difii
cullies are the various intonations ot
eaih word, a wiong tone being used
often completely changing the menning
of the word. Recently it has been
discovered that In one tribe seven
(Jifterent rones are used.
The army of union label boosters is
always ready to recruit willing and
sincere workers in this great cause.

HOPE FOR NAVY
CHECK RAISED
BY UNCLE SAM
Washington.—The American pro
posal at Geneva for navy limitation
has increased hope that a program
may be agreed to by the preparatory
disarmament conference.
If the conference adopts a plan this
will be the basis for a world-wide
conference, that may make the plan
effective.
Differences between nations are
highly technical because of geograph
ical locations, trade I'outes and coal
ing stations.
The United States now announces
that it will give consideration to the
French proposal that the total ton
nage of warships be reduced, and that
each nation be free to decide what
class the reduction shall apply to
This would permit a nation to con
centrate, for instance ,on small cruis
ers or submarines.
England announces that it will also
give consideration to the French pro
posal. The United States and Great
Britain were formerly opposed to the
French theory.
BIG-TOWN INDUSTRY
COSTLY TO PUBLIC
New York.
large urban
-Centralized industry in
areas is an additional
cost to the public, asserted Robert
Binkerd, business man, iij an address
to the New York state-wide economic
conference.
The speaker said that decentraliza
tion in industry is necessary to check
the enormous toll on production costs
that are levied because of congestion
in large cities.
Mr. Binkerd pointed out that it
costs about 5 cents a quart to deliver
morning milk to New York city con
sumers. A piano can be shipped from
Chicago to New York for $14, he said
but it can hardly be hauled 20 blocks
in this city for that sum.
