of State Says

AUSTIN. Texas, May More for
esgn capital represented in aggre-
gate capital stock was invested in
Texas during 1926 than in the fifty
preceding years collectively, Mrs.
Emma Grisby Meharg secretary OF
state announced today. Commercial
development Of the state is colossal
and virtually every foreign corpor-
alton in the world is seeking a per-
init TO do business in Texas, Mrs.
Meharg declared.
She deposited sl2l .7i2-35, receipts

-Foseign capital has found out
that Texas is not opposed 70 invest
ments here by outsiders, and now
they have no fear or the state and
people" Mrs Meharg said. She ex-
planned that during 1925 an average
Of 252 charters, foreign permits and
amendments TO charters were grant
ed and that numerous other corpor-
atiOns are seeking these state con-
tracts. but have failed because they
have not fulfilled the requirements
Of the law.
Confidence in the commercial de-
veiopment OF Texas is seen through
the eagerness OF large and small cor
Porations 10 do business here. Secre-
sary Neharg said she predicted that
1926 will surpass all others in the
invasion Of foreign capital into Tex
as She said Texas people use TO in
vest their money in the east, but
now the easterners are investing
their money within the state.

AN UNFINISHED
TALE

The Pennsylvania Railroad manage
ment states that it has "acceded to
the demands" of its shop crafts for
wage increase of 3 cents an hour.
To complete the story, these anti
union officials should announce:
"The trade union shop men on the
New York Central and the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroads recently secured
this increase. Our spy system re-
ported that the members of our com
pany union were restless, and dis
cussion on the value of trade union
ism was general Fearing that our
company union would collapse IT we
ignored this condition, we considered
it wise to trail behind organized lab
or.
"When other anti-union employers
are confronted with similar conditions
we suggest that they, likewise, 'ac-
cede to the demands of their hand
picked union
"Always let the trade unions make
the fight for better conditions. II
they lose, you can reduce wages, Ii
they win, and it is necessary to allay
unrest, as in our present case, 1T is
best to meet the new standards. :,
"a good publicity agent will aid
YOU in tricking employees into the be-
lief that there is no difference be-
tween a trade union and your COM
pany union" :.

WHY UNIONS ARE OPPOSED

In its report on Employment
Relations" a committee Of the
National Association Of Manu-
facturers says:
"Some Of the working people
of this country follow their nat
ural leaders, the owners and
managers of industry. Others
find their leadership where they
can"
Here is a concise statement of
the kingly ideal. No feudal bar
on nor slave holder has present
ed more clearly and frankly the
claim that workers must accept
the standards and outlook of life
of employers.
Their natural leaders, the
owners and managers of indus
try" is a sinister statement.
Is it any wonder these indus
trialist royalists oppose trade
unions and their democratic
ideals?

THE POWER BEHIND

The average housewife thinks
no more of electricity than that
she heats her curling iron, or it
does her washing, or beats her
eggs with it. But the Westing-
house company takes it seriously
enough to blame it for the fact
that the United States by all
odds is leading in the race for
world supremacy. You can
press a button and do almost
anything these days, from run
ming a typewriter to washing
dishes, or operating an elevator.
The American workman has at
his disposal 3 81 horsepower per
worker, which is double that
available to the workman in Eng
land, our next competitor in the
race.Findlay Republican.

"PLAY FAVORITES"
ON RIGHT TO STRIKE

Would the United States Supreme
Court declare the proposed cotton
strike illegal?
In upholding the Kansas anti-strike
law, the court has just ruled:
"The right to carry on business
be it called liberty or property
has value. To interfere with this
right, without just cause, is un-
lawful"
The court let it be understood that
the judiciary shall pass on the legal
ity of such acts. The employees right
to cease work is not considered. The
court asks: Will it interfere with bus
mess
If a textile manufacturer asked a
court for an injunction against the
proposed cotton planters strike, what
would happen?
This manufacturer could show that
the cotton growers have agreed to
plant less cotton next year and that
increased prices will injure his bust
ness.
Would the court order the cotton
planters to grow 100 per cent acre
age? Would they be told that their
collective resolve to do less work is
a conspiracy in restraint of trade?
Government representatives, bank
ers and business men favor the cot
ton strike. Financial aid will be Civ
en- every striker and credit will be
withheld from the "free and independ-
ent" who plants 100 per cent acre
age.
The Wall Street Journal favors the
work suspension and jeers at the cot
ton growers for former failures to
stand together.
Listen to this oracle of finance that
always opposes wage workers strikes:
'In fact, he (the cotton farm
err was disloyal to his class and
he has always been undependable
in agreements of that kind. Moth
ing but the plainest of coercion
from his local bankers will induce
him to restrict his ill-fated sin
gle CROP"
The cotton strike is justifiable, but
wherein does that movement differ
from like efforts of workers to in
crease their purchasing power or to
shorten hours in those industries that
dare not operate full time because OF
improved machinery?
Does it make a difference when
bankers and business men hold mort.
cages whose interest can't be paid II
cotton prices are low?
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1926-11-05
LESS WORKING HOURS

This is a day of standardiza-
tion, day of specialization and
of mass production. We are ad-
justing ourselves to the new, and
as we look upon modern fac
tory with its mass production we
realize that we, vitally affected
by all Of this, must point the
way by which we can adjust
ourselves to the new industrial
order.
What are we going to do about
it? American labor suggests
that as the productivity of the
individual worker is increased,
and as his efficiency is raised
higher and higher through the
operation of these economic
forces, his wages, first of all,
must increase in proportion with
his productivity and his eff
cheney.
Second, there must be a pro-
gressive reduction in the hours
of labor, so that industry and
men and women may adjust
themselves to the change that is
taking place.
If we are to do the work of
the world in this way, there
must be opportunity for leisure
on the part of workers. There
is involved in this more than
material progress, for after all
working people are human be-
ings. Working people must
have opportunity for cultural
and spiritual development, they
must have opportunity to en-
large their vision and live. That
implies a great deal.
"How can the cultural life,
how can the spiritual life, be
promoted to that higher stand
ard that the Creator intended if
the body is to be given to cease
less toll in the whirl and noise
ard strain of a modern factory? :?
We have established the short
er work week in many indus
tries. 1t is growing.
We want to extend it, not in
a revolutionary manner, because
we realize that that can not be
done. 1t must be extended in a
progressive way, as industry is
prepared to extend it and the
workers are prepared to use it
and accept it. In that practical,
progressive way we can bring
about the acceptance of the
wage and shorter-hours' philoso-
ply Of the American Federation
of Labor" - William Green,
President, A. F. of L.

Eugene V. Debs

The United States. Government has
never been guilty of a more stupid
and useless bit of bureaucratic cruelty
than the Imprisonment of Eugene V.
Debs, four months after the close of
the war which he was found guilty of
opposing. That the gallant old Soc
ialist did oppose the war and do his
best to obstruct enlistment, there is
no doubt. He never sought to deny
the charge. That his sentence of ten
wears under the terms of the Espion-
age act was technically justifiable is
unquestionable. But in country
which really reverenced liberty 1T
would have been impossible to com
nit to prison after the war was over,
and hold incarcerated for nearly
three years, a man as kindly, as
meek, as upright as was Eugene v.
Debs.
When Debs was released from At
lanta his citizenship was not restor-
ed. He died under an official stigma
of unworthiness imposed by a gov
ernment in which A. Mitchell Palmer
was Attorney General and kept upon
him by that fine figure of American
idealism, Harry M. Daugherty. Re-
turning to this country from Bermu-
da last April he had to go before an
inspector like any alien
Mentally, Eugene v. Debs was not
a great figure. But from human
itarian viewpoint he rose head and
shoulders above the average of his
fellow countrymen. When he left At
lanta the penitentiary guards said no
other man, chaplains and social work
ers counted, had ever exercised so
fine and beneficial an influence upon
the inmates. In retrospect we see
that what counted in old Gene was not
his unsound theories, which were the
superficial part of him, but the
virtues which were essen
5ial in his being. That we should
nave sent a man like that to jail for
MS ideas is blot on American his
,ory which time will be slow in erad-
eating Cincinnati Labor Advocate.

COAL MINERS STRIKE

Fairmont, w. Va.-Coal miners in

hours as production methods develop.
Practically all opponents of shorter
hours claim organized labor favors an
arbitrary enforcement of the five-day
week throughout the nation.

The interest and variety of the ly to the use of contrasting colors as well as materials. The import ant type of evening gown is frequent ly combination of metal cloth and chiffon velvet. Dance frocks have chiffon skirts and crepe satin bod ices, while dinner gowns are partial to the use of such different fabrics as chiffon and velvet. In addition to these sharply contrasting fabrics, there is the interest of opposing colors-such a striking combination as black and white being a prime favorite.
 Sketched today Is a charming dinner gown of white chiffon and back velvet. The bodice of the sheer material is lavishly embroid- cred in small rhinestones, a treat ment that enchances it's contrast from the skirt, which is plain black chiffon velvet.
 The cut of the skirt, however, quite atones for the lack of trim ming. There is 8 tight-fitting un- derskirt over which falls the outer portion, which is split in the center front and cut to form cascading iabots at the sides.

 The last words were so abrupt, so different in intonation to the tender ones which had just preceded them, that I stared at him in amazemefft. He had released my hands, as he spoke, almost flung them from him in fact.
 There are limits to what a man can stand" he said hoarsely. Your anger l can combat, but your ten- derness, robs me of all resolve to act sanely. Let Us get out of here while I still have the strength to keep from picking you up and run ming away with you to the ends of the earth"
