THE CRIME OF
POVERTY

The thing of things / should like
to show you is that poverty is a
crime. | do not mean that it is a
crime to be poor. Murder is a crime:
but it is not crime to be murdered: ::
and man who is in poverty | look
upon not as criminal in himself so
much as the victim of a crime for
which others, as well, perhaps, as
himself, are responsible. That pow
erty is curse, the bitterest of
curses, we all know. CARLYLE was
right when he said that the hell of
which Englishmen were most afraid
was the hell of poverty; and this is
true, not of Englishmen alone, but of
people all over the civilized world.
no matter what their nationality. 1t
is to escape this hell that we strive
and strain and struggle, and work on
overtime in blind habit long after
the necessity for work is gone. There
fore, | hold that poverty is crime
not an individual crime, but social
crime.
There is nothing in nature like this
poverty which today curses US. We
see rapine in nature, we see one spe-
cies destroying another; but as a
general thing animals do not feed on
their own kind; and wherever we see
one kind enjoying plenty, all individ>
uals of that kind share it. No man,
/ think, ever saw a herd of buffalo
of which few were fat and the great
majority lean. No man ever saw a
flock of birds of which two or three
were swimming in grease and the
others all skin and bone. Nor in

INDEPEND ENTS
TO REDUCE GAS

Hold Big Conference to
Find Means of Max

By RAYMOND A. PAGAN,
u. p. Staff Correspondent.

CHICAGO, July 26.-A national
conference to roduce present t'ieX-
cessive gasoline prices in the mid
do west and southwest y four
cents a gallon was opened here to-
day by independent oil producers,
refineries and gasoline distributors.
Several hundred delegates are at
tending. Officials of the National
Petroleum MarIetcrs' association, l.,
which called the meeting, say ways
win be devised to wipe out can
artificial market created by a group
of refiners over which the indie
pendents have no control, y and to
bring about the fouT cent reduc-
tion at filling stations
"We have totay -"r greatest
production of crude oil in the
history Of the world,' declared L..
V. Nicholas, president Of the asso-
citation.
EThe world market for crude oil
is 80 cents Il barrel, while in cen
tral parts of the United States
crude oil is selling at $l.65 and
$3.50 q barrel.
"a small group of producers and
retincrs, over whom we have no
control has established restricted
district which reaches from north
ern Texas to Pennsylvania. Crude
prices in that district are mreason-
ably high aVd that is why gasoline
is high. Aasolime prices follow
crude oil quotations, mp or down.
"Gasolinc prices around here
should be four or five cents lower.
You can drive mp to n filling sta
tion in New York and fill the tank
on your car two or three cents y
gallon cheaper than YOU can in Chi
cago or Kansas City. And New
York is farther from producing cen.
tcrs.
Some expressed the belief that if
measures were not adopted at this
conference to force lower prices
thousands of persons who drive au-
tomobiles will find the cost of gas
olne almost pr0hibitiVe.
Distributors from rural districts
said prices are working hardships
on farmers who rely ON gasoline to
operate 90 per cent of their farm
machinery.

step in elimination of the II hour

putes in the industry.
with Judge Ebert II. Gary pre-
siding, the conference went to work
to find the basis upon which tn"
revolutionary change may be made.

involves sweeping intricacics of
Opcration-eomplete revision Of the
working schedules of 100000 en-
plcycs, "paW factory arrangements
and employment of thousands OF
new workers.
"Our purpose is to consider ways
and means for putting into effect
at the earliest possible moment the
elimination Of the l. hour day"
Gary said.
This involves facts and figures
more or less complicated. Here are
the difficulties Of the project which
were under Discussion:
Workers now laboring the -

with demands for wage increases.
Those who are meeting with
