STANLEY OGG
At the fiftieth annual convention
of the Ohio State Federation of La
bor, held last week in Columbus,
Stanley Ogg, the well known and
popular leader in the local labor move
ment, was honored in the election of
officers by being elevated to the sec
ond vice presidency of the state body.
He has, for a number of years, serv
er as third vice president of the or

a deserved tribute for services well
and faithfully performed in the past.
Ogg reports the golden jubilee con
vention one cf the best in the history
of the state organization.
O. B. Chapman, Dayton, Ohio, was
named president. He has been acting
president since the death of former
president, Harry McLaughlin. In ad

Youngstown, street railway employe,
fourth vice president Albert Dalton,
Cleveland, asbestos worker, fifth vice
president Tracey A. Douglas, Akron,
rubber worker, sixth vice president,
and George Suder, Cincinnati, gar
ment worker, seventh vice president.
These officers, with Thomas J.
Donnelly, Columbus, secretary-treas
urer, make up the executive board,
which will decide the 1935 convention
city. Akron, Columbus and Dayton
put in strong bids for the next meet
ing.
The federation considered scores of
resolutions and passed more than two
score of them.
The resolutions denounced Fascism,
asked for an unconditional pardon for
Thomas Mooney and Warren Billings,
urged numerous amendments to the
state workmen's compensation law to
make easier the receiving of compen
sation by injured workers asked Gov
ernor White to protect the constitu
tional rights of striking onion work
ers in Hardin county suggested
amendments to make possible open
primaries protested delay in enforce
ment of a state taxicab code, and ask
ed more consideration for union work
ers by federal and state relief agen
cies.
One of the resolutions asked the
state to adopt the five-day week as
an example to industry. Others
pledged support to the parent organ
ization, the American Federation of
Labor, in its efforts to bring about
the 30-hour. week and condemned
company unions and asked Ohio con
gressmen to work for a bill that
would prohibit such employer-spon
sored organizations.

The curate prided himself on his
oratorical powers. He was describing
the downward path of the sinner, and
used the metaphor of a ship drifting
and going to pieces on the rocks. A
sailor In the audience was deeply In
terested.
"The waves dash over her," bellowed
the curate. "Her sails are split! Her
yards are gone! Her masts are shiv
ered! Her helm Is useless! She is
driving ashore. There seems no hope.
Can anything be done to save her?"
The sailor rose In his seat, his eyes
wide with excitement "Let go the
anchor, ye lubber," he shouted.
THE POINT
"So, you are getting your new suit
from Bings. He Isn't much of a tailor.*
"I know he Isn't much of a fitter,
but he's so near-sighted he can't rec
ognize a man ten feet away."
Rounding Twenty
The magistrate gazed solemnly at
the woman in the witness box.
"How old are you, madam?" he
asked.
She looker coyly at him.
"I'm round twenty, your honor," she
sweetly smiled
He grunted,
"Yes, I know you are," he replied,
"but how many years is it since yon
got round it?"
Bartly Possible
"Son," said dad "I'm afraid you will
be sorry if you marry that girl."
"Yeah?" said son. "Why all the
crepe?"
"Well," replied his dad, "she im
presses me as a girl who'll always be
more interested in a bare skin on the
beach than a bearskin on the living
room floor, and that means a bare
cupboard in the kitchen.1*
Honest
A negro applied for a job, and set
forth his attributes without too much
modesty. "All right," said the boss,
"you can have a job, and as to salary
—•well, I'll pay you Just whatever
you'er worth."
"Dat's no use to me, sah," answered
the applicant. "I'se gettin' mo' dan
