PINCHABLE

If you are familiar with my vari-

health, you realize how much en-
phasis place upon the subject Of

Probably no subject is Of such in
tense interest to the layman today
as this study of dietetics, and con-
slider it to be Of paramount import

Your material body is made out of
q combination Of elements which
can only be derived from food ma

far been able to demonstrate the ex-
istence of the psychic self without
using the material body for such
manifestations. This "pinchable'

Washington, Dec. 4.-There used
to be report here to the effect that
Secretary Hoover was trying to take
all the government bureaus under
the wing of the Department of COM
merce, but it appears that Secretary
Davis and his subordinates are still
loaded with all sorts of work.
The Labor Department has Con-
Citation Service to help settle
strikes, the federal employment SER
vice which does a huge business, the
U. S. Housing Corporation, the fact
finding Bureau of Labor Statistics,
the Bureau of immigration which
guards the border and supervises
aliens, the Chsdren's Bureau which
administrators the maternity and in
fancy act, the Women's Bureau
which acts in the interests of women
in industry and the Bureau of
Naturalization which undertakes to
Americanize aliens.
The Cancellation Service handled
545 strikes or threatened strikes in
the last fiscal year, adjusting 1896
and reporting itself as unable to adj
just but 81. More than 575, 900
workers were affected, according to
Director Hugh L. Kerwin. Accept

tional.
Francis I. Jones, director-general
Of the U. S. Employment. Service,
reports considerable unemployment.
He notes increased use of labor
saving machinery in the factories
and on the farms and finds that al
though there are fewer opportuni-
ties for temporary OF casual en-
ployment, more stabilized labor
market is indicated.
It is harder to find jobs for work

minish except in boom times. Neither
does any section of the general La
Dor Department report mention tho
connection between unemployment
and increases in crime.
The employment service seems to
have done a tremendous amount Of
good work, for it placed 1858, 476
persons in jobs during the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1927. It had
requests for workers for 1891, 598
jobs. But the picture is not COM
plete without noting that 2,440,64O
persons registered for jobs.
In other words, definite figures
show that nearly two and a half
million persons were in want of jobs
at one time or another during the
year. To guess at the total number
Of this class it would be necessary
to determine the proportion Of job
less men and women who come to
the federal employment service for

Commissioner-Ge General. Harry E.
Hull of the immigration Bureau, in
his part of the secretary's report,
says that $4,000 aliens were ad-

600 more than in 1926. Nearly U.s.
600 departed without expressing the
intention of returning and 10000
more left, expecting to return

parted voluntarily.

''This nation, alone among all peoples Of re.
corded history, is now in the very act of deliver
ing it's masses from the menace of want" That
is the conclusion Of Prof. Irving Fisher Of the
department of economics of Yale University.
It is good thought for the Christmas season.
The saying, "The poor We have always with
you" not yet has been rendered obsolete but
the term, poor is relative. In comparison with
the conditions of the poor Of the ancient world,
the poorest of Bismarck's people are pretty
we'll to do. They are poor indeed nowadays
who do not have regular meals, clothing and
shelter, while the great majority Of those who
would confess themselves poor are figuring on
whether they should turn in the old car for a
new model, or get along with just paint job
in the spring and a new set of tires.
And Prof. Fisher thinks we are on the way
to better times. Looking over the advancement
made during the past five years, he finds there
has been an absolute gain in purchasing power
per capita Of about 36 per cent. Another gain
of IS per cent by 1882" says he, would put
the average family of the poorest class in the
United States safely beyond the reach of pow
erty."

The New York district executive

lowing statement on yesterdays re-

big business won the elections.
Tammany Hall and the republican
party, the twin parties of capitalism,
maintain their firm grip upon the
state power. The Communist Party,
however, succeeded in raising its
vote in the city from 1900 to 10000.

"The socialist party was defeated
in it's major campaign by the victory
of Tammany Hall over Judge Panken.
This outcome was no surprise. Only
the Communists put up a real chal-
lenge to the capitalist parties. La
Dor of the city, tied to Tammany
Hall and the republican party by the
sham non-partisan policy Of the la
boz officials, was not organized and
made no serious campaign on the vi
tai issues affecting their interests,
such as injunctions, police violence,
the traction swindIe, the housing sit
uation, etc.
Labor Not United.
while the corrupt Tammany Hall
machine undoubtedly resorted to cor
ruption and floaters to defeat Pan
ken, the defeat was really caused by
the policy OF the socialist party, by
its failure to raise the class issues
which could mobilize the workers
against the capitalist parties and by
its reactionary policy of seeking lib
eral capitalist support for it's candi-
dates.
THE socialist party, ignoring the
demand for a united labor ticket and
for pohilizjnc the workers for indie

bourgeois clements and sought en-

demands of labor the demands of its
campaign and thus aided in keeping

ties and exposed itself as a party of
professionals and petty business men
playing the game of the capitalist
class.

Only the Communists remained
true to the needs of the working
class. Only they raised the banner
Of independent working class politi-
cal action. Only they exposed fear
lessly and aggressively the police vio-
