Cheap Frame Houses Built By Square Mile
In New York City Seen as Big Fire Menace

.still remain solvent, it was pointed
out
AS many as 10000 are waiting for
the $9-a-room houses the Metropoli-
tan put up in Queens, it was testified.
Why Workers Can't Pay
The basis of the problem is that
workers can not pay the rents requir-
ed for houses built at modern costs.
The figures show thirds of the
families in the city must live on $2,500
year or less, and that they live in
dirty, dark, inconvenient tenements
because they can not afford the SIS
to $40 a room apartments of which
there is surplus now. Flats renting
at $40 a month for small family are
non-existent except where families
occupy them as the result of protec-
tion of the emergency rent laws that
it is now proposed to extend after
their expiration next year.
The commission is now deliberating
on a constructive effort to solve the
housing problem. Previous recon-
mendations for public credit for the
construction of homes for workers
have been ignored by the legislature
Members of the commission are piling
up evidence showing how other coun-
tries from Holland to Australia have
handled such situations. The trend
seems to be to make semi-public
utility of the cheaper houses, leaving
the high-priced apartments to take
care of themselves without protection
of the rent laws.

Der those who have attempted the die
tating stunt in the past. Where is
Tut-Ankh-Amen now? All that's left
of him is the Amen, and even that's
pretty rusty and useless.
Oh, yes, there are many filthy mag
azines. But who gave the preachers
The right to be censorship board ?
Since when did they get the right to
do our defining for us?
What one calls salacious may be
called mere idiocy by another, or it
may be called sheer literature.
There are verses in the Bible that
even a preacher wouldn't want to dis
play on the village bill boards, but
the Bible is still freely sold and in
increasing quantities.
Moreover, how did the preachers
find out which were the salacious
magazines
Usually there is certain sort of
pruriency lurking behind minority
efforts to dictate morals into the rest
of US.
A lot of extreme reformers need to
be psyche analyzed.
More suppression means more boot
logging. We have bootleg booze,
bootleg books and next we shall have
bootleg magazines.
If we keep on it won't be possible
to express an honest or decent
thought will have to be bootlegged
along.
Unless, kind sirs, minority and
clique domination results in complete
atrophy of the thinking powers of we
free-born Americans, and of our pow
ers to make decisions for ourselves.

BREAD MERGER GROWS

Washington. - The federal trade
commission will hear additional testi-
mony on the proposed bread merger,
and this extension of time will permit
the merger to strengthen itself, ac-
cording to Huston Thompson, mem
ber of the commission.
Mr.. Thompson says there is no oc-
casion for further hearings and in
sists that the commission act on the
evidence now before it. He says the
holding corporation of the bread trust
has added nine concerns to the Ia
corporations it previously controlled,
and that this sgives every indication
of a growing and continuing tendency
toward monopoly"

Toilers Must Live in Slums
Until Financing Costs Fall,
Housing Commission is Told

BY International Labor News Service.
New York Workers can't ex-
pect to live in modern, sanitary and
sunlit houses and they have got to
live in the slums and near slums until
a cheaper means of financing house
building is found This is the burden
of the evidence presented in the clos.
ing session of the state housing COM
mission. It's report to the governor
will be ready January l. Meanwhile
public sentiment is crystallizing for a
housing program for workers.
Builders testified that square miles
of frame houses in the outmost sec
tions of the city have been erected and
sold to wage earners at about SIS 900
for six and seven rooms. The con-
struction is so poor that some are al
ready warping and falling apart

in speech at Boston.
The Boston Women's Trade Union
League, which has taken great inter
est in the effect of The anthracite sus-
pension in relation to the coal supply
of Boston, invited Mr.. Searles and
Attorney Merritt, chief counsel forthe
anthracite operators, to give the peo-
pie of that city an explanation of the
controversy between the two factors
in the coal supply.
A strong effort has been under way
to have Boston coal consumers use
soft coal produced by coal operators
who not only mine hard coal but also
soft coal in the West Virginia fields.
Boston coal users, however, have thus
far fatty refused to burn soft coal.
largely for the reason that domestic
consumers have not the proper equip
ment for bituminous coal burning.
Mr.. Searles charged that the entire

By international Labor News Service
New York City.-The German labor
delegation which attended the Allan
tic City convention of the American
Federation of Labor sailed for home
after two months study of the
American labor movement and Ameri-
can industrial development. Before
the delegates left, cruise of the port
of New York and around Manhattan
Island on the city's yacht Macon was
arranged for them and they were
guests at the New York labor temple
at dinner given by the Central
Trades and Labor Council.
Among their most interesting, ex-
periences was an inspection of the
functionlng of the prohibition en-
forcement law. They visited under
ground "speak easies," saw distilleries
of hooch and cellars where high power
beer was brewed, as object lessons
of the difficulty of altering personal
habits of people by law.
Labor Hosts Thanked
"We have experienced in every city
the generous hospitality of the Ameri-
can labor movement" said Fritz Tar
now, chairman Of the delegation. "We
visited the headquarters of all the i'm
portant unions and witnessed the dele
gates Of the American Federation of
Labor at work in Atlantic City. We
know the spirit of the American work
ers and the source of their economic
strength What we have learned will
help us counteract much of the mis-
leading propaganda against our Ger
man labor movement that has been
spread by the big industrialists.
"Bonds of friendship between the
German republic and that of the
United States are stronger as the re-
suit of our warm reception by the
American labor movement. We hope
to see a similar representation of
American labor in Germany at an
early opportunity"
Particularly warm was the appre-
citation Of Tarnow and Franz Wendell
at the cordial hospitality rendered
them by William L. Hutcheson and
other officers of the United Brother
hood of Carpenters.
From Coast to Coast
In their brief visit the Germans
visited every important industrial CEN
ter to study the factory system here.
One delegate went from coast to coast,
with San Francisco as his visit fur
thest west. With typical German
thoroughness they had interpreters
and plan of study to absorb as much
Of the American scene as they could,
in one VISIT. On their voyage back
they will compare notes and draw up
their report for the German Fedora
ton of Trade Unions and their respec-
tive organization.
One of the dispiriting results of
their mission was the evidence they
saw Of disruption among the German
speaking workers in America. Com
munism has shattered the strength of
the old time German union, finishing
what prohibition began, they reported.
When the pioneer Germans were the

" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes fiippantly,
sometimes recklessly ;.

Out in Des Moines-or back in Des
Moines, as the case may be-the min
listers have been raising holy Ned
about what they call salacious maga-
zines, and everybody got all excited
Finally, evidently to avoid compul-
sorry white list" dealers agreed to
restrict their own lists of periodicals.
What it amounts to is that the min
listers have compelled the news dealers
to take certain magazines off the
stands through threat of more sump-
tuary legislation, or it's black jack,
back-alley equivalent
This is no defense of what the min.
listers call salacious magazines,
though there are ministers who would
Mt know salacious magazine if they
saw one-and there are ministers who
wouldn't for anything be caught read
ing one of the dirty things.
If, however. ministers can compel
news dealers to quit selling what they
call salacious magazines, they also
can-and why not ?-compel news
dealers to quit selling some other kind
of magazines some other day.
This business of clique censorship,
clique imposition of morals, clique
domination and regulation and repres-
sion is getting to point that is de-
cidedly disconcerting to those who
care anything about real freedom.
Let it be remembered that real free
dom means freedom even to make
mistakes. Above all, it means free
dom from minority DEGREES issued and
enforced without due process of de-
mocracy. With all due-emphasis on
the due--respect to the ministers, let
them remember that while they still
have their puplits.
