Labor has met with unusual suc-

No bills have been passed because the
session has not reached that stage yet

labor bill that has bebn heard before
a committee has received a favorable
report.

The outstanding committee hearing
of the week. from the standpoint of
effective pressure, was that of the
House Public Health. About 100 bar-
bers and beauticians swarmed.to the
hearing and in no uncertain terms
registered their opposition to the bill
that would abolish the Barber and
Cosmetology Boards. The author not
only apologized for introducing the
bill, but pledged that he would never
again propose anything like it the rest
of his life.

Plans to secure the enactment of
the Barbers Bill now before the Mich-
igan Legislature were mapped at a
recent meeting of the Journeymen
Barbers Unions and the Master Bar-
bers in Detroit. The purpose of the
bill is to establish sanitary conditions,
fair prices and reasonable hours for "
those engaged in the business. It is
claimed that these objectives have
hitherto been impossible due to the
refusal of vicious and ruthless ele-
ments in the industry to co-operate
in such a program, thus emphasizing
the necessity of State control.
Thursday evening to hear the oppon-
ents, but at Thursday's session of the
House the chairman of the committee
announced that the hearing had been
postponed again until 7:30 o’clock the
evening of February 15. The Senate
committee had set its hearing on the
Child Labor Amendment for 2 p. m.
February 15.
The Senate Labor Committee on
last Thursday evening considered and
voted out favorably Senate Bill No.
214, by Senator Ben G. Oneal, against
the protest and opposition of those
proposing ratification of the Child
Labor Amendment. The bill is op-
posed because it is completely unsat-
isfactory and impractical for many
reasons. It was proposed as part of
the strategy of those who are oppos-
ing the Child Labor Amendment. It
is completely ineffective, unenforce-
able and a very poor substitute for

same privilege. There is nothing con-
tained in the letters exchanged which
can be remotely interpreted as mean-
ing recognition of the closed shop
principle in General Motors manufac-
turing plants.
"It is my opinion that a preliminary
examination of the letters which
passed between Governor Murphy and
General Motors management result-
ing in the termination of the automo-
bile strike justifies these conclusions.
A further and more definite study and
analysis of all the provisions of the
letters sent by Governor Murphy to
General Motors management and their
replies thereto is necessary in order
to fully understand the meaning and
purpose of all the terms upon which a
settlement providing for termination
of the strike was reached.”

Labor can depend on Carpenter for
Mem- Afay deal.
The new chairman of the unemploy-
ment compensation commission, Or-
ville S. Carpenter, is probabiy"one of
the most capable executives in Texas.
His work with the old age assistance
commission has been high above par
in spite of the fact that the legisla-
ture has persisted in jumping on him.
His department was the political cen-
ter of last summer's gubernatorial
campaign and yet it stood the fine.
Carpenter is not a politician. He is
an executive of the first rank who
can be relied upon for a fair deal and
for a frank expression at any time.
His expression as head of the old age
assistance commission that recipients
of pensions should not vote should be
ample to reflect his frankness and
fearlessness.

Austin, Feb. 19.—Although press re-
leases from Austin apparently have
the matter of Wallace C. Reilly’s sen-
ate confirmation closed there are
those on the inside who still hold
some hope for his being confirmed as
labor’s member of the Texas Unem-
ployment Compensation Commission.
Most wire services going out 'of
Austin reported that Reilly had been
"blue penciled.” This as literally cor-
rect but the real interpretation is that
Reilly’s appointment wax not acted
upon definitely by the senate.
It is believed that his name has
been returned to a sub-committee and
that the matter will come up again at
a later date. In the meantime Rilly
is awaiting the return of Governor
Allred to Texas before making any
further move. It is significant that
Reilly is still a member of the com-
mission until the senate reports that
his name has been rejected.

pointed out that only a relatively
small number of workers would be
benefitted by the increase. In fac€
only those whose earnings are above
$33 33 per week would be affected by
the change. There are other change
in the Workmen’s Compensation Law
to be proposed and have been propos-
ed that will have more general benefit.

Dr. Laidler urged greater appropria-

ployed in the Genekal Motors manu-
facturing industry was abandoned.
It was modified during the early stage
of the negotiations to cover twenty
plants. It was completely abandoned
in the final settlement reached. To
this extent and in this respect the set-
tlement represents a surrender in a
very large way to the demands of
General Motors management.
Direct Agreement Lacking
"It is significant that no direct
agreement was signed by the manage-
ment of General Motors and the rep-
resentatives of the United Automobile
Workers Union. The settlement was
arived at through an exchange of let-
ters which passed between Governor
Murphy and the representatives of
General Motors. It will require a
careful examination of this corre-
spondence in order to determine
whether losses sustained by the auto-
mobile workers who have been on
strike for forty days compare with

The House Committee voted 12 to 5
in favor of the amendment, while the
Senate Committee favored It by 8 to 2.
A hot fight is certain in both Houses
when it comes up for floor considera-
tion and many feel confident that it
will pass the House—that it has a
chance of passage in the Senate. But
if Texas doesn't act pretty soon. It
won't need Jo*set at all. In response
to the Presiddt’s direct request, State
after State he fallen in line by ratify-
ing the amendment. The Kansas Sen-
ate this wed approved it and when
the association adds its O.K., Kansas
will be the 28th State to ratify the
amendment. It only takes eight more
states, and with President Roosevelt
taking a personal hand Jn the affair,
it seems likly that the amendment
may be finally approved before the
year is out.

ANDERSON RESIGNS- R. B. Ander-
son, brilllantYoung Chairman-director
of the Texas! Unemployment Compen-
sation Commission, this week resigned
to become the legal advisor to the W.
T. Waggoner estate at Vernon and Ft.
Worth. Orville S. Carpenter* Director
of the Old Age Assistance Commission,
was named as his successor.
When Anderson left public life, the
State lost ene of its finest public
servants. Brilliant, efficient, fair and
honest, he held the highest respect of
all who came in contact with him.
He has always been absgttely fair to
labor and the workers of Texas.
While regretting to see him leave the
services of the State, congratulate
him on his new success and wish him
moved more and more into the public
spotlight Bobbitt chose his stop in
Dallas en route to Washington as the
occasion fot taking the oath of office.
Standing on a cotton bale, he repeated
the oath of office after District Judge
Sarah Hughes, while news photog-
raphers snapped his picture for pub-
lication throughout the State.
Politicians surmised that this indi-
cated that Allred might lay his mantle
on Bobbitt's broad shoulders when he
steps from‘ the governor's chair two
years hence. Bobbitt has served with
distinction in all three branches of the
Government as speaker of the House
of Representatives, member of the
Court of Civil Appeals, and as Attor-
ney General.
NELSON FOR LIEUTENANT GOV-
EKNOB—Politicians this week were
also puzzled over the rumor that Sen-
ator G. H. Nelson of Tahoka might
be a potent candidate for Lieutenant
Governor two years hence. Nelson’s
name has also been mentioned in con-
nection with the Attorney General's
office.
Observers pointed out that Nelson
would run a very strong race in West
Texas, would also get manx votes in
East Texas where he was born and
reared. Also pointed out were the
facts that Nelson is one of the leading
laymen in the Baptist Church in Tex-
as. and that he has a ready-made plat-
r form on which to make the race—the
one-house Legislature. Old politicians
are beginning to fear that the one-
house Legislature movement will
sweep the country and they have ob-
served a sarprising sentiment for it
in Texas. Nelson has fathered the
proposal in the Senate for the past
two years and is known throughout
Texas for his espousal of the cause.
Prophets insist that it would be an
ideal platform for a race for Lieu-
tenant Governor.
No ks is an indication that
