A movement for guaranteed employ- ment _and possibly the five-day work week has gained favor end considerable momentum among some of America’s | largsst industries. Under the guaranteed employment plan, industrial leaders would assure & stipulated number of their workmen of uninterrupt=d and_profitable employ- ment for a specified long period. Reports to high Government officials indicate many industries are inclined toward adoption of the five-day week with five days' pay. Organized labor, however, is demanding the shortér week with six days' pay. The movement for guaranteed em- | ployment _apparently originated with public utility companies and organiza- tions seeking to hold their workers in the depression. It has been adopted as part of the American Federation of Labor’s permanent program. Chamber Backs Plan. The guaranteed employment idea has spread to such an extent that the United States Chamber of Commerce, under the leadership of Julius Barnes, chairman of the board of directors, has | become its sponsor and is pressing for | adherence to it. Intensive study of the technical aspects of the problem is now occupying the attention of experts in the chamber President Hoover has been kept in- | formed of and is deeply interested in | the progress of the movement, which he regards of unusual importance. Industrial and labor leaders consider the guaranteed employment idea as one of the most significant developments in the relationship between capital and labor in recent years. The idea is not regarded by them or by President Hoover as being & mere emergency measure for the relief of existing un- employment, but is thought to be & primary step in elimination of unex- pected periods of widespread unemploy- ment in the future. Green Indorses Move. Government_officials have expressed the opinion that its adoption by (.he‘ larger industries would lead gradually to favorable action by smaller busi- nesses throughout the country. Willlam _Green, president cf the American Federation of Labor, in in- dorsing the movement said in his report on July labor conditions that the re- moval of the fear of unemployment would put money into circulation. which is now being stored in savings deposits and hoarded in stockings and trunks. Public utility members of the Na- tional Electric Life Association at a re- cent gathering appointed a committee to study the subject. Optimistic re- ports of that group are reaching Paul Clapp, secretary of the organization. Clapp is expected to report to the Chamber of Commerce Committee some time before September 1. In the experimental stage, the time set for assured employment may be one year. In industries where long-time planning is customary the period could be extended, even after the experi- mental phase has passed. Hoover Busy on Relief. Industrial heads haw expressed the hope to President HoMcr that actual operations of the plan ¢an be started before next Winter. Sflas Strawn, president of the United States Chamber of Commerce, discussed business conditions, and particularly unemployment, with President Hoover last week. He later said the chamber would present to the President a defi- nite program for unemployment relief before September 1. The aspect of guaranteed employment is expected to be one of the most important subjects in the chamber’s report. Mr. Hoover for several weeks has been devoting his time almost exclu- sively to studies of business conditions and unemployment. He has held con- ferences with industrial, labor and re- lief agency leaders and members of Congress, including Senator Fess of Ohio, on both subjects, with a view to | forming & program designed to alleviate conditions.

Several New Specimens. The collection, half of which is new to the museum, was obtained in the wilds of Brazil and Venezuela by a Na- tional Geographic Society expedition led by Ernest G. Holt, naturalist, of Montgomery, Ala. The party encoun- tered great hardship and at time was in peril from treacherous rapids and Indians, who had proved themselves hostile to other travelers. Known as “stinking Hanna.” from its peculiar and decidedly unpleasant odor the hoatzin bird was found along the Casiquiare, the unigue arm of the Orinoco, which flows out of that river into the Amazon system The nest birds have “tbumbs” on their wings. They usually are hatched in nests which hang over the water and, although they are not aquatic, swim out with ease when they tumble from.the bushes, climbing the trunks back into the nest. The “thumbs” fall off when the bird is full grown Has Natural Odor. The odor of the bird is natural, and not, like that of the buzzard, due to unclean habits. Although nature made the mot-mot very beautiful with its greenish sheen, its turquoise and aquamarine head and its long sweep of tail feathers, the bird is not satisfled and insists on trimming the tip of its tail with its beak, leav- ing a tuft cf feathers at the extreme end, like those on the shaft of an ar- row. Both male and female seek thus to_improve their appearance. The males among the tiny manikins dance with great enthusiasm before the females to win their admiration. Other strange types brought to light in- clude the capuchin or bald-headed calf bird. which has a hoarse cry like a calf; the smallest kingfisher in the world, of less size than a house wren, which has forsaken fishing for a living and subsists on insects; jacamars, shaped like glant humming birds, and cotingas, highly colored creatures with extra wing feathers which hum as they fiy. Rare Jay Discovered. One prize specimen has been iden- tified as the Hellprin's jay, a very rare bird, of which only two specimens have been reported so far, one in Philadel- hia and the other in Europe. At least a year of laboratory work will be necessary to study and classify the birds and to compare them with known types. Their gkins and plumage have been carefully perserved. Once classified they will be filed away in tray-filled cabinets for a more leisurely study and comparison by scientists and bird lovers 1t is believeq & further study of the collection will bring to light birds here- tofore unknown to science, as the par- ticular territory covered by the expedi- tion has been visited by comparatively few naturalists. At one time the expedition all but lost its valuable equipment and collection of birds representing three months' of painstaking toil under trying condi- tions Have Narrow Escape. Returning from the interior, the na- tive boat containing the personnel and belongings of the expedition struck & rock when swept broadside down a rapid in the Cauabury River, a stream so turbulent it required 22 days for the party to go 100 miles up the river The heavy boat all but capsized and for & moment it looked as though the men would have to swim for their lives The craft failed to tip all the way over however, but was so firmly lodged on the rock it could #8% be budged by the | combined manpower 1t was a tedious process to rig lines ashore, but this was accomplished and WHERE TO DINE.

The brotherhcod chiefs expressed be- | lief that granting of the railroads' re- quest will provide a “new stimulus to strengthen and support the business of the country.” The statement was issued by S.

Whitney, president | Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, and | David B. Rebertson, president Brother- hood of Locomotive Firemen and En- | ginemen. | " Railway labor during the last decade | has co-operated with railway manage- ment in the reduction of expenses through greater efficiency and economy cf operation, in order to maintain rail- way credit and to meet the steadily decreasing freight revenues “brought | about principally by the vast number of | rate reductions authorized by the Inter- state Commerce Commission during that decade,” the statement said. “Moreover,” it continued, “railway labor has suffered severely curing the | present depressicn in the furloughing of | hundreds of thousands of men, in the many more men reduced in employment ‘ to part time and about one-half of the number of engineers and conductors | being reduced to firemen and trainmen with a consequent decrease in pay. “We have endured this in the spirit of assisting to maintain an essential balance between railway outgo and in- | come.
