RAHWAY LABOR BODIES DESIRE A CONFERENCE Proposal for General One On Unemployed Reported Rejected CLEVKLA.VI), Aug. labor organizations whose request for a conference with the railroads on unemployment was recently rejected by them, have not decided what their next step will be, David B.

In closing Pinnell took occasion to ask the support of all Sedalians in the work of the Chamber of Commerce, in as much as its work Is in the interest of Sedalia. The only guest other than those connected with the state fair program were J. Reily, of Parsons, and Bert Lampkin, of St. Louis. This would have been a wonderful program for every citizen of Sedalia to have heard, and it would have convinced them that the Mi.s- souri State Fair, regardless of any interest they may have had because it is in Mis.souri, is of estimable value to Sedalia in a business way, for Sedalia really profits wonderfully by reason of the location of the State F'air at its door.

He said the labor organizations would know probably in about two weeks wiiat next step they will take. About tw'enty one labor organizations, including the four big brotherhoods, had requested the conference. Robertson said that estimated 350,000 railroad workers were without employment were being helped by those wiio remain on the job. He said that funds for mutual aid w'ere about exhausted and that the government or some other agency have to step in and help or the w'orkers w'ould face starvation. Non Stop Flight WASHIXOTOX, Aug.

Evening Star said today that the railroads have refused a request of the brotherhoods for a general conference to discuss unemployment among rail workers. The brotherhoods, the paper added, in a sharp reply last week through the conference of the railway labor executives association, rejected a counter proposal by the roads that the question be taken up with the individual lines. They held this w'ould he impracticable. The Star said the reply to the rail chiefs expressed the view that the railroads were taking an indifferent attitude toward labor problems. The proposal for a general conference on unemployment was said to have been made last spring.

The labor officials suggested the meeting might discuss regulation of other transportation services, including Inglnvay, waterwmy and pipe lines, to unfair and unemployment. Stabilization of employment, the six-lioiir day and five-(iay week also were suggested as topics. The Association of Railway Executives replied, the Star continued, that it did not deal with labor matters because of the diversity of conditions throughout the systems. Since technical details were involved the Union heads w'ere told the question should be taken up witli each road. non-stop dash across the Sea of Okhotsk and the Bering Sea to Nome, Alaska.

cash bond w'as ordered I By The Associated Press. JEFFERSON CITY, Aug. I Collections of state revenue for I the first seven months of 1931 are tw'o million dollars under the collections for tlie corresponding period last year, it learned today at the office of State Treasurer Larry Brunk. The shortage is in the inheritance and income tax collections. The income tax receipts are $1,193.000 those of a year ago, while the inheritance tax show's a decrease of $807,000.

Treasurer Brunk said the inheritance tax decrease normal, because receipts for 1930 were swelled by taxes on several large estate that had been held up by litigatiorl. The receipts in this fund, he said, about normal this year. No big estates are pending for taxation, virtually eliminating any hope for an increase in this division. However the income taa: decline, Brunk said, serious, show'ing a natural decrease in taxes because of smaller incomes upon which the assessments are based. Due to the fact that the treasury show'ed a balance of slightly in excess of tw'o million dollars at the end of last year.

Treasurer Brunk said there apparently w'oiild be enough revenue collected this year to meet the requirements. w'hen the income tax law goes into effect I am afraid that w'ill not collect as much tax as the framers of the he said. On August 1 the income tax collections for the year totalled $3,092,686, and the inheritance division reported $1,760,000 collections. The balance in the state treasury at the close of business July 31 was $22,170,795. The balance in the general revenue fund, however, was only $2,167,332, the other ty millions being scattered among the various special funds.

when there 108 homicides, through 1930, W'hen there were 316, there has been an almost uninterrupted increase in killings. For the first seven months of this year the homicides numbered 200. There is no agreement among the several enforcement agencies as to the cause of what all admit to be an alarming growth of organized crime. Many say it is prohibition. Others say it is not prohibition, but rather the failure to enforce prohibition.

Whatever the cause, the situation in York City today is such that special squads of police officers, armed with powerful pump guns, are pRtrolling the streets day and night. Patriotic societies and social agencies have petitioned city, state and even federal officers to break the gang run rule. Commissioner Mulrooney believed that stringent to restrict the sale of firearms would go far to reduce of violence. He has urged that such legislation be passed. New York has approximately 19,000 policemen.

In such matters as routine policing, this force always has been considered adequate. The city has, however, a population in the main, resents rigid enforcement such as might be demanded in other cities. There are, for example, by police figures, 30,000 speakeasies here. There are taxi-dance halls catering to between 35,000 and 50,000 men and boys each week, and giving employment to several thousand or dancing partners. Preying bondsmen, shady police court lawyers and even magistrate courts have been under investigation for months.

The year 1931, according to a report of the committee of 14 began with commercialized vice in volume and more brazenly open than at any time in the last 15 The federal government in recent months has been unusually active in prohibition enforcement. Half a dozen large were presumed to be supplying a large part of the city with beer, wpre raided in July. One brewery In this number had an estimated value of more than one million dollars. The gang-gunning is generally ascribed to war over beer and in' practices in the numerous rackets which persist through failure to racket victims to complain and prosecute. The murder of little Michael Vengalli six days ago has done more than anything in recent years to crystallize public sentiment behind an energetic campaign to drive gang killers from the sidewalks of New York.

Miss Gertrude Thompson, of St. Louis, general field representative for the National Red Cross, who in Sedalia last week, stated that the first obligation of the Red Cross is to the ex-service man, and the quality of service being rendered in this field exceedingly fine. During the past year a total oL 919 men have been served in some capacity through the local office, Mrs.

M. D. Norton, in charge and the number has shown a steady increase. The month of August opened with 218 active cases. The following report will be of interest and satisfaction to the public: Total served during the year, 909.

The total amount of money brought into Pettis County during the year was $96,349.20 through claims, loans, bonus, etc. The Red Cross makes no charge to the ex-service man. A reasonable salary Is paid the secretary by the chapter. The chief objective of. the Roll Call is to provide funds to insure the proper attention to this service, including essential aid to the disabled ex-service man or his family, when justified by the particular situation.

It is the desire of the Red Cross that ex-service men will wish to take membership. The transient ex-service man presents the most difficult problem in connection the servicej Very often he feels no sense of responsibility to any community, this handicapping the chapter he properly belongs in rendering him adequate service. The policy the Red Cross chapter must follow in dealing with him is to care for him while waiting for returns from his own chapter which should be reached by wire. If that chapter authorizes granting the request ha has made, it means that a justifiable service may be rendered with no advantage taken of local ex- service men in the disposition cf funds. For the owm chapter will reimburse the one being approached, and also protect the ex-service man against being rated as a To send a transient from place to place without following such pro- ceedure is a violation of the National Transportation Agreement.

The same fairness should be exercised with respect to communities as as individuals. Mrs. Norton is on duty at the building on the northeast corner of Second street and Ohio avenue every day In the excepting Sunday.
