LABOR'S RANKS ARE DIVIDED ON EVE OF PARLEY

Building Trades Challenge Green in Reinstatement Dispute. By I'nitrS Prr SAN FRANCISCO. Sept 29—A cchism in the building trade* department divided the rank* of the American Federation of Labor today on the eve of the annual convention at which, more than ever before. the leadership desires a united front. In repudiating the personal plea of William F. Green, federation president, for reinstatement of the carpenters, electricians and bricklayers internationals, the buildingj trades division started reverberations which will resound through the sessions of the general convention starting Monday. "I pledged my sacred honor on June 14 that these unions will be admitted" Mr. Green said. "They l have been admitted. I consider that j they are members of the building I trades. What the department has* done is illegal. It must not prevail." Os opposite view was Michael J. i McDonough, just re-elected presi- j dent of the building trades group, which numbers about 400.000 members. The other three unions have ! about the same membership. The fight, believed inspired by In- ; ternal politics, will be continued on ] the floor of the convention, where the electricians, carpenters and 1 bricklayers have representation. Mr. Green’s re-election is as- i sured despite his repudation by the ! building trades on the reinstatement I matter.

HUMAN RIGHTS ARE SUPPORTER BY FIRST LADY

Property Is Not Safe If People Starve, She Tells Parley. By L mileil Prem WASHINGTON. Sept. 29.—Property rights are unsafe under a government which fails to protect its citizens against starvation and cold, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt told the 1934 mobilization for human needs. Mrs. Roosevelt, revealing she differed somewhat with Relief Administrator Harry L. Hopkins as to the relief responsibilities of the government, presented her views in the controversy regarding human rights and property rights. “I recognize,” she toid the conference opening the 1934 relief drive, "that when large numbers of people have no way of earning a living, the government is compelled to see that they neither starve nor freeze to death. "This responsibility is, by and large, accepted as a matter of selfpreservation for no government which did not do this would remain stable and be able to protect property rights. And no people who were not willing to provide the wherewithal to do it would show much understanding of human nature.” Mrs. Roosevelt’s difference with Mr. Hopkins concerned local relief responsibilities. Mr. Hopkins had criticized citzens of local communities who failed to assume their share of the relief burden. Mrs. Roosevelt said she believed much work now done by charity agencies should be a government function.

The Criteria, or "Standards of Quality" service station, on Sixteenth street west of Illinois, uses anew gasoline computing pump. Asa result, motorists can purchase small amounts of gasoline, receive accurate measure, and cause the operator no inconvenience. Motorists whose gasoline purchase amounts to odd cents will generally accede to the suggestion of the operator that odd cent purchases be made even money, such as sl, $1.50 or more. Accurately measuring and registering the smallest fraction of a gallon, the pumps in use at the Criteria station automatically compute the total cost as the gasoline is delivered, and indicate to the customer and attendant both the exact number of gallons delivered and the amount purchased in dollars and cents. The computing mechanism can be set for any price from one-tenth of a cent, to 55 cents a gallon. Every one-hundredth part of a gallon is

Errors due to difficult computation such as 7'* gallons at 15 7-10 cents a gallon are impossible because both gallons delivered and the correct amount of the sale, in this instance $1.14, are shown on the dial. Confidence of the customer is assured, and both the customer’s and attendant’s time is saved, and errors, either accidental or intentional, are impossible. BY EGYPT Origin Traced Back to Queen Who Made Sacrifice of Hair. Varnish gets its name from an Egyptian queen, Berenice, wife of Ptolemy Eugertes, king of Cyrene. Praying to the gods for her husband's safe return from a campaign in Asia, Berenice sacrificed her beautiful hair, which she lay as an offering upon the altar of Aphrodite. Its miraculous disappearance during the night was followed by its discovery in a constellation of the Milky Way. Her story was told by the Greeks, who likened precious amber to Berenice’s hair, and called it by her name. Hence the Latin word ‘‘vernox" and the later Italian form, “vernice.” And hence the word varnish, a product of amber or other gum resins. Renewed Card Tables Paint for the top of a card table gives an attractive decorative effect and saves much unnecessary laundry work.
