MAYORS
The plan, embodying a proposal of
Mayor LaGuardia, of New York, for
virtual abolition of interest rates of
municipal public works borrowings
under a new government agency, defi
nitely divided the responsibility of re
lief into two classifications:
1. Relief of the unemployed
"under an established system of
public works supervised by the
federal government.."
2. Responsibility for relief of
"unemployables" by cities And
states.
The mayors' resolution asked that
prevailing wage rates be provided in
the new public works set-up and lent
support to the proposal for unemploy
ment insurance.
Another resolution of the confer
ence asked that the National Re
sources Board organize a survey of
city problems in the "same manner
that great relief has been given agri
culture."

Labor Relations Board. The firm has
refused to abide by a decision of the
labor board to bargain collectively
with the union chosen by vote of a
majority of its employes, in which the
sound and just "majority rule" was
upheld by the board. A criminal action
was contemplated for sometime, and
is said to have not yet been aban
doned, but merely held up pending
gathering of additional evidence. The
civil action, it is understood, can pro
ceed ai once on evidence of a concrete
nature already available.
MILK INDUSTRY
FIGHTS CODE
Washington.—A code labor pro
visions for the milk industry of the
country was opposed almost unani
mously at a hearing held here, before
George Calson, NRA deputy adminis
trator.
It was brought out that the asso
ciation of distributors has 431 mem
bers, representing dealers in pasteur
ized milk in 42 states, and 33 members
outside the United States. In 1934,
there were an estimated 104,780 routes
in this industry, 55 per cent of which
were operated by distributors of pas
teurized milk and 45 per cent by pro
ducer-distributors. Association mem
bers operate only about 24 per cent
of all routes.
Many independent dairies through
out the country employ union drivers
but the "dairy trust" has carefully
avoided any relation whatever with
the union.
NEEDS MORE MONEY
Washington.—The U. S. Depart
ment of Labor will ask the next con
greess for an increased appropriation
according to Secretary Perkins. Of
the $13,500,000 the department had
this year, it was revealed that $10,
000,000 went for the immigration
service, leaving only $3,500,000 for
all other activities.

PERSONAL ACQUAINTANCE
A farmer in Cheshire, England, was
always boasting about his cat One
afternoon, as he was chatting with a
friend, while the cat was stretched
on the rug between them, he re
marked, "I wouldn't take a pound for
that cat he's the best mouser In all
Cheshire." At that moment a mouse
ran across the rug, but puss did not
stir.
"What do you say about that?" said
the friend with a grin.
"Oh, he knows that one," replied the
farmer, "but let a stranger show qpi'f

Not Consistent
The conversation was on diet.
"Yes," said Jones, "I've eaten beef
all my life."
"But do you think It really has done
you any good?" she asked.
"I feel as strong as an ox," he re
plied.
"That's strange," she ventured.
"I've been eating fish for about three
months, and I can't swim a stroke."—

SUMMER GUESTS
"Why so glum? Lost a relative?"
"Nothing of the kind. All my rela

A Question of Art
"Was that play you speak of highly
artistic and poetical?" asked the girl
who poses.
"I don't believe It could have been,'
replied the girl who Is frank. "I un
derstood and enjoyed every word of
it."
That's a Break
The Aggrieved One—She's been
throwing things at me ever since we

Magistrate—Then why have you not
complained before?
The Aggrieved One—This Is the first
time she's hit me.
Economic*
"The great problem in this country,'
said the grimly serious citizen, "is the
question of supply and demand."
"That's right," replied the fan "ev

won't be enough world series tickets
to go 'round."
Obliging Doctor
Patient—Doctor, I've Just received

Mill Workers Strike
Against Stretch-Out
Meridan, Miss. (ILNS)—The J. W.
Sanders cotton mill, employing ap
proximately 250 persons, is closed un
der what labor leaders called "a
strike," but which mill officials termed
"a shut-down." W. B. Jones, presi
dent of the local textile union, with
which 85 per cent of the workers are
affiliated, said that the workers are
affiliated, said that the workers voted
unanimously to go on strike immedi
ately because of the stretch-out meth
ods of production which the mill own
ers employed, "unsanitary working
conditions" and "bringing in foremen
who had labor troubles in other
Sanders-owned mills." The mill own
ers were quoted as saying: "We do
not have a strike. The mill has been
shut down.''
Force may subdue, but love gains
and he who forgives first wins the
laurel.—Amsler.

Butler Store Employes Vote'
New York.—Over 800 employes
365 stores of the James Butler gro
cery chain here went to the office of
the Regional Labor Board, 45 Broad
way, on the evening of November 27,
to vote on a collective bargaining1
agency under Section 7-A. Meantime,
word comes from Pittsburgh that the
Butler company's truck drivers, oia
strike there, were replaced by strike
breakers under the protection of the
mayor, who went so far as to ride in
trucks driven by strikebreakers on at
least two occasions. The firm has
cleverely resisted organization of
their workers, it is said, by fostering
"company associations" and other
wise. The New York vote was a de
cisive victory for the union, the Gro
cery Executives and Employes' Asso
ciation, 480 to 247.
