r ■ Memories of Labor Movement Told Women by Cowell The ideal of a four-hour working day was applauded by some members of the political and social science de partment of the Omaha Women’s club yesterday afternoon, when Robert Cowell, who spoke on "Labor Prob lems In the United States," men tioned It ns one of the goals of labor. Mr. Cowell sal dhe thought the four hour day might be a possibility If the Volstead amendment could be more strictly enforced so as to pre vent a leakage of energy Rnd effi ciency through drink. Discussion which followed Mr. Co well's talk, however, revealed many other members wh ofelt that the four hour day would be n calamity, be cause people would abuse their leisure. Father Co-Operation Mailer. Reminiscences of the very begin nings of the English co-operative movement were given by Mr. Cowell. The first co-operative store was or ganized at a meeting In his father's house In Rochdale, Isle of Man. Eng land, when he was a boy. At present the co-operative business which grew out o fthis store has more than f .000.000 regular subscribers and does a volume of business greater than that of the United States Steel com pany. Horrible labor conditions In Eng American Legion Launches Joint Drive A state wide drive for more mem bers is being launched this week (January 15) by tiie American Legion and its auxiliary, the goal for the Legion being set at 25,000 members and for the women members at 15, 000. It differs from former drives in that Legion men out for new mem bers are going to solicit Auxiliary members at the same time and vice versa. Each Auxiliary worker has been requested to supply herself with Auxiliary blanks and Legion applica tion cards as well. When a man joins tiie Legion he will be asked to fill out a paper giving the name of his mother, wife, sister and daughters, if any, and their addresses. These names then will he looked up by the Auxiliary membership committee un less the new Legion man can be per suaded to sign up for other members of his family. In that case he will be permitted to do so. The Auxiliary membership commit tee is headed by Mrs. R. H. Hamilton of Long Pine, who will be assisted in the work of keeping the records by .Mrs. N. T. Ashby of Hastings. Under •hem, each district will he in charge of a captain and much rivalry le expect ed between the district* as to their membership. Captains are: first dis trict, Mrs. J. B.

Rimer man to charge of pro land in his boyhood and m tlie other nations of the world at the present time were passed In brief review by the speaker. In America today, he declared, the skilled artisan and his family can maintain a comparatively high standard of living so lofig as they are In good health. They could save, hut too few do so, because of the favorite national pastime of "keping up with the Jones," a sport which has a tendency to keep the ar tisan's pocketbook trained down to a muscular leanness. Organized labor was commended by the speaker as one of the means by which this change had been brought about. Even In the Colo rado coal mines, owned by the "world's greatest phllanthropls," he said, dreadful conditions had pre vailed until a few years ago; and while changed conditions have re cently been introduced by the man agement, It is very doubtful whether this would have happened without the action of organized labor. Mistakes Too Frequent. However, pursued Mr Cowell, labor as well as capital has made its bitter mistakes. Both need to work together in a spirit of sym pathy and co-operation. He illus trated with incidents from Omaha's own labor history how troubles were solved when the representatives of labor and capital got together around a table with real Intention to work out their problems together and understand the other fellow's point of view. Mrs. Charles B Neale took a few moments after the meeting to pre sent a plea from the national cham ber of commerce that "something be done to stop this flood of resolu tions pouring into Washington call ing for this action or that action by the Fnited States in European af fairs.” European nations were up set by It, she said, as they are used to transacting foreign affairs in secrecy, and at*rordingly either ex pected or feared too much. Presi dent Coolidge and Secretary Hughes, who have been acting in harmony with European leaders working toward world peace, she pursued, are the ones to handle foreign affairs, and it should be left to them. The Bok peace plan was not mentioned by Mrs. Neale in her complaint.
