RUM RUNNING END
SEEN BY MELLON
Asks Stronger Coast Guard,
Opposing Transfer From
, Treasury Department.

Secretary Mellon declared today that
he thought the smuggling Of liquor
into the United States could be COM
pletely stopped If the coast guard had
enough force to patrol the whole coast.
He made this statement to the joint
congressional committee on reorganiza-
tion before which he appeared to op-
pose the taking Of the bureau of the
budget or the coast guard from the
Treasury.
The coast guard is the main reliance
in preventing the smuggling of Illicit
liquor into the country. Secretary Mel
lon said. adding that the main break
ing of the dry law today lies in SNUG
Cling.
The life saving service also plays a
large part the Secretary of the Treas
ury revealed, in thwarttng rum run
nerS.
Secretary Mellon said that If it was
simply question of taking the old
tion away from it's berth in the Treas
ury Department, he thought 1t could be
transferred well enough, the life saving
service probably to the Department of
Commerce and the revenue cutter serv-
ice to the Navy Department.
But as it Is, the prohibition depart
ment Is in way the most active de-
partment we have, and 1t has been nee
essary to connect up with the coast
guard and the revenue service" Secre-
tary Mellon said.
IF the guard had enough force to
patrol the whole coast I think the
smuggling could be completely stopped"
he continued.
Secretary Melons appearance be-
fore the committee interrupted testi-
r.
ment officials on the advfsability of
retaining the photographic off1ce and
the Naval Observatory in that de-
partment.
y Mellon Hour on Stand.
Secretary Mellon was heard imme-
diately, and was about an hour on
the stand. He strongly opposed the
plan to make the bureau OF the bud
get an independent establishment Of
the government, declaring that the
bureau is related in every way to
Treasury activities, being SO Inter
woven with the Treasury that 1t real
ly should be part OF the Treasury"
he said.
Mr.. Mellon said that while he could
see no particular reason why the
controllers Office, being in reality
entirely independent. should be under
the Treasury, he did not feel that in
dependent establishments Ought to
be encouraged"
The public health service, he said.
could about as well be under another
department as under his own. AS to
the office of the supervising archi-
tect. he said it was in as appropriate
place in the Treasury as any other.
Scores Coast Maps.
Charts of the coast and geodetic
survey were branded as perfectly
ridiculous, as far as the mariner are
concerned" by Capt. F. B. Bassett,
head of the photographic office of the
Navy, in the resumption of his tes-
timony today before the committee.
Capt Bassett urged that all charts
should be changed and non-essential
work wiped out. He opposed removal
of the photographic bureau.
The Secretary of the Interior. the
Postmaster General and the Secretary
Of Agriculture are scheduled to ap-
pear before the committee tomorrow.
After that Col. E. Lester Jones, chief
Of the coast and geodetic survey,
probably will be heard to answer
charges made against his maps to-

Many persons have always suspect ed that Chicago was barbaric city and if it permits uniformed police thugs ito beat up" suspected criminals. at their own sweet will, their sus-- picion will amount ao a certainty.
 The Industrial News Survey, pub lished by the National Industrial Con- ference Board, gravely informs the world that a woman employe III a San the right" in the State Supreme Court to work for $6 week in oppo- sition to a ruling of the State Indus trial Welfare Commission that she must be paid $9 week.
 The suit, 1t seems, was brought to- test the constitutionality of the mini mum wage law in California and the case involves the wages of approxi- mately 15OOO0 women and minors throughout the state.
 Of course the woman is simply a. dummy acting for greedy employers who don't want to pay a minimum wage of $o No sane woman would sue of her own free will for the right" to toll for -6 a week when the state set a higher minimum wage
 The California supreme court IS not noted for it's liberalism or social vision but it is almost unthinkable that it will decide that the state has not the, right to set living wage for women and minors. If 1t decides that the misguided employe has the right to work for S5 week, thereby condemn ing thousands of women and minors to toll at starvation wages, 1t will have taken long backward step into darkness.

REACTIONARIES, REPUDIATED AT POLLS,
 PLAN TO FORCE "COSSACKS" ON ILLINOIS
SOCIAL CREED FOR CHURCHES HAS MANY
 LABOR DEMANDS
By International Labor News Service

By International Labor News Service. Washington, D. C., Nov. 2o.-Insis- tence upon a minimum comfort wage" " the right of the worker to organize and the eight-hour day as the maxi mum for all industrial workers, is made Ill a proposed social creed for the churches, published by the executive committee of the Social Service Com mission of the National Council of the Congregational Churches of the United States
 The executive committee expresses the belief that the proposed creed, while not perfect, is far superior to the old one adopted in 1908 and it suggests that the Federal Council of Churches submit the text to all the denomina- tions within it's membership for criti- casm and discussion
 'The Social Creed of the Churches" says the committee, lis an attempt to point out certain consequences which would follow for our social life if we were to take Jesus Tn earnest and make His social and spiritual ideals our test for community as we'll as for individual life It insists on strength ening and deepening of the inner per sonal relationship of the individual with God, and recognition of his obIiga- ton and duty to society. This Is crys- taflized in the two commandments of Jesus: Love thy God and thy neigh bor. It involves the recognition of the sacredness of life, the supreme worth of each single personality and our common membership in one another the. brotherhood of all. In short, 1t means creative activity in cooperation with our fellow human beings, and with God, in the everyday life of so. ciety and in the development of new and better world social order"
 The creed goes on to make sugges- tions for translating the ideal just out lined into education, agriculture, inter national relations, racial relations and into indnustry and economic relation ships
 In, the field of economic and indus trial relation the creed approves of many demands made by organized labor. The creed suggests:
 That group interests whether of labor or capital must always be sub ordinated to the welfare, of the nation as a whole.
 "A frank abandonment of all efforts to secure unearned income, that is, reward which does not come from a real service
 Recognition that the unlimited right of private ownership is un- Christian.
 "Abolishing child labor and raising the legal age limits to insure maxi mum physical educational, and moral development.
 Freedom from employment one day in seven.
The Connecticut labor news., 1924-11-29

"The eight hour day as the present maximum for all industrial workers and a reduction to the lowest point that is scientifically necessary to pro- duce all the goods we need.
 Providing safe and sanitary indus trial conditions, especially protecting ] women.
 Adequate accident, sickness and unemployment insurance, together with suitable provision for old age. That the first charge upon indus- try should be minimum comfort wage, which will enable all the chil- dren of the workers to become the most effective Christian citizens.
 Adequate means of impartial in vestigation, and publicity, conciliation, and arbitration, inindustria1 disputes.
 "The right of labor to organize with representatives of their own choosing, and to fair share in the management.
 Encouragement of the organization of consumers co-operatives for the more equitable distribution of the es- sentials of life
 The supremacy of the service, rath- CT than the profit motive in the acquisi- ton and use of property, on the part of both labor and capital, and the most equitable division of the product of in dustry that can ultimately be devised"

New Heights In Foolishness

Ne wheights in plain and sim pie damfoolishness are being reached by enemies of the Child Labor Amendment.
 Foolish and absurd as were the arguments used against La Fol lette in the recent campaign, they were marvels of wisdom com pared to the idiotic statements on the Child Labor Amendment now being broadcast to deceive the nation.
 For instance. a church paper published i'll Philadelphia de- clares that the proposed amend ment strikes at a sacred insti- tuition, established by the Creator namely, the family. The effect and purpose of this amendment is to take the care of, provision for, and training of children away from the family and place 1t in the coarse hands of the state"
 Wouldn't that jar you? But worse is to come. Listen to the Manufacturers Record, which declares in quavering tones that the amendment would lead to moral and physical decay under the dominationicf the devil him. self"
 Determined not to be out done in damfoolishness, the Georgia legislature, in rejecting the amendment, declares that it would give irrevocable support to a rebellion of childhood which
The Connecticut labor news., 1924-11-29

menaces our civilization.
 And so it goes. All the enemies of the amendment are uniting i'll a campaign whose foolishness which would do credit to a joint convention of the Grand Old Order of Plain and Fancy Idiots and the Ancient and Amalga- mated Association of Whopping Liars. The friends of child slavery are relying upon the ignorance of the people regarding the Child Labar Amendment to put over' their campaign. The remedy lies in telling the people just what the amendment proposes. For this purpose there IS nothing bet ter than memorizing the text of the amendment or having a copy with you.
 Here is the amendment. Carry it in your mind or pocket and be prepared to confound the next person who makes a foolish or lying statement about it:
 Section 1. The Congress shall have power to limit, regulate, and prohibit the labor of persons under IS years of age.
 "Section 2. The power of the several States is unimpaired by this article except that the op- eration of State laws shall be suspended to the extent neces- sary to give effect to legislation enacted by the Congress"

Comment and Criticism About Things Doing in the World.

Special strong arm squads of Chi taking suspected gangsters to court but will deal out justice in alleys, soft drink parlors or wherever gangsters congregate," Police Chief Collins of Chicago is quoted as declaring
 In making this announcement, Chi cago's police chief says two things, neither of which reflects any credit upon Chicago:
 First, Chicago plans to revert to mob rule in fighting crime
 Second, Chicago's police force is so inefficient that 1t is unable to control crime by the ordered processes of the law
 Every believer in orderly govern ment as opposed to anarchy and mob rule, must condemn Ill the strongest terms the Strong arm" edict of Chi cagos police head. His proposal is dangerous in the extreme and has no place in the twentieth century It is almost certain to lead to gross abuses of authority. For example, what is to prevent policemen from beating up" strikers and strike pickets on the excuse that they were mistaken for gangsters or other criminals? What is to prevent policeman from netting out private vengeance to man he dis likes on the plea that the man was gangster?
 Aside from the abuses that will folio woperation of the strong arm" plan, known criminal, to say noth ing of shpect, has rights that even a Chicago policeman is bound to re- spect. Among those rights, guaran 'teed by state and national Constitu- tions, are trial by courts of justice and the right to representation by counsel. The law presumes that an accused man is innovecent until he is proven guilty and no policeman has a right to ad- minister punishment Ion his own hook"

Worthy of place on the major concert program" was a general comment among the audience, so ta- vorably impressed were they with the talents of these two Birmingham artists.
 Mrs. Tate's program consisted of the very difficult F Sharp Major 1m- promptu of Chopin and two modern numbers. Miss StavrOwsky sang the beautiful aria from La 'Gioconda, which provides considerable opportunities for the exertion of her fine dramatic tal- ents. Two delightful numbers by Rachmaninoff and La Forge completed her program. :,
 Mrs. Huston Davis then explained the new study course and conducted the first lesson on the notation of music, illustrating her program with Victrola selections of the earliest recorded music, one number, "The Hymn to Appono," !" dating back to 200 B. c.
