FIVE CONVENTIONS . * i IND. C. CONCLUDED Commerce, Legislation and-Sociol- ogy Among Subjeots , KENYON URGES PUBLIC WORK | Guy “Tells Labor Legislation Body Ad-|H ¢ vanced Planning Need. Five national socleties concluded their annual conventions here yester- day with the election of officers and the discuselon of subjects ranging from “the dance of the dollar” to “the advanced planning of public works" & Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale, in ad- dressing the Americgn Statistical So- ciety, said-that “business dances with the dancing dollar” and that the more furious the dollar's “dance” the closer - the relation. .He said trade conditions follow the dollar's abet- ration' after a lag of about seven months. = Judge Willidm §. Kenyon of Towa urged adoption of a program of ad- vance planning’ of public works in speaking Lefore the American Asso- olation for Labor Legislation. Such 2 policy, he sald, will result in less bullding* at high pricés and more bullding at Jow prices. Reward for Production. g Fred C.° Butler, manager of ‘the Cleveland - Garment Manufacturers' Association, declared ‘unemploymment insurance -laws, which would cover all industries, would be a great help | in attacking unemployment on a na- | tional scale. The Cleveland unem- ployment plan, he said, is that manu- facturers offer their workers a re- ward for greater production, and.in turn the workers offer their employ- grs & reward for increased employ- Floyd H. Allport of the University of North Carolina, in speaking be- fore the American Sociological So- | oiety, sald that science has explodbd the ‘theory that a crowd possesses.a mental life of its own and that mob action 1s ascertained by studying the | reactions of individuals in the mob. Hanging in efgy and dreams, he| declared, are means of giving vent to feeling without incurring punish- | ment. He sald that stories with a duel “meaning may be “amusingly” cited as a means of evading social conflict. Such stories offer equal en- Joyment to opposite minds, he added. | For Sociologists’ Fraternity, The Sociological Society went on record as favoring the organization of a national fraternity of sociolo- gists, which will be similar in the fleld of soclal science as the positions held by Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma X1 in_the academic and physical sci- ence flelds. Prof. Charles A. Ellwood, who recently organized Alpho Pi Zeta, a social science fraternity at! the University of Missourl, was placed in charge of the work.
