DENIES us. SEEKS
FINANCIAL CONTROL
UnderseCretary Grew Calls
Charges of ''ImperiaIism"
and "ExpIoitation" BaseIess.

Speaking before more than so rep
resentative American educators from
as many colleges and universities,
who convened in Corcoran Han,
George Washington University, this
morning, for a two.day conference on
public administration, Undersecretary
of State Joseph Grew described as
''baseless" charges made from time to
time accusing "our Government with
economic or financial imperialism.
"Such a policy" Mr.. Grew told the
educators. cor measures taken in line
with such a policy, would be in DIS
accord with the fundamental prln-
cipIes of the American Government.
No such policy could receive the APP
proval or support of our Government :
agencies.
Does Not Seek Control.
"Our Government does not seek to
exploit or extend control over other
nations through the agency of foreign
trade and the investments of American
citizens in foreign countries. 1t Will
furnish and safeguard fair and equal
opportunity for American enterprise
and investment abroad but it will not
undertake to sponsor private interests
or urge them to engage in special en-
terprises in designated countries
''It will hold the door open, but IT
will not force or urge American in
terests to cross the portal"
The purpose of the conference which
opened today is to promote a clear
understanding of the policies. and
activities of the various branches of
the Federal Government. Following
Undersecretary of State Grew, Brig.
Gen. II. NJ. Lord, director of the
Bureau of the Budget, gave talk in
which he told of the great reductions
made in the public debt over the past
seven years.
Draws Sharp Contrast.
Mr.. Grew drew sharp contrast be-
tween the old diplomacy and the new,
particularly in regard to the quality
of representatives in the two services.
''It was not SO very long ago." Mr..
Grew admitted, that a visitor to one
of our embassies or legations or con-
sulates abroad was accustomed to en-
countering either an immensely inn
portant young man. with the down of
youth, probably waXed, still fresh on

CHINKS
Are Employed in Merchant
Marine

San Francisco.-PaulS Scharrenberg,
editor of Seamen's Journal, renews
the seemingly impossible task of con-
vincing a certain element among
American newspaper editors that
seamen's high wages do not retard
development of the American mer-
chant marine. The San Francisco
Chronicle is the latest to make this
claim.
''It is not true that the American
standard of wages and personnel have
to be kept up in the offshore or for
eight trade" Mr.. Scharrenberg said.
IF the busy editor of the Chronicle
can spare the time the editor of the
Seamen's Journal will be glad to es-
cort him on visit to American ships
in San Francisco harbor manned al
most exclusively by Asiatics, receiving
Asiatic rates of wages.
"Only II cents out of each dollar of
the total cost of ship operation is paid
for wages. And this includes the
wages of everyone aboard ship, from
master to the lowest paid boy. The
major expense is for fuel, interest on
investment, depreciation and general
port charges.
"The obvious answer to those who
constantly complain about high wages
is that an efficient crew, even though
high wage crew, will easily be the
less expensive because several of the
principal items in ship operation, but
especially fuel and port charges, can
be and will be very considerably re-
duced when efficient men are manning
the ship.
''If mere cheapness of the crew
were determining factor in success
or failure of ocean navigation, why
in the name of common sense does
not the Chinese empire control al
ocean shipping? China has more
cheap labor than any other country on
earth, and yet, strange to relate, there
is not even semblance of a Chinese
merchant marine.

THIS WON'T HELP GENEVA
Newspaper dispatches from Rome
say that M. Albert Thomas, director
of the labor office of the International
Labor Organization created under the
craftsmanship of Samuel Gompers by
virtue of the Versailles treaty, has
about concluded treaty of peace with
the Fascist labor organization in Italy.
This, it is pointed out, will mean the
dissolution of the Italian General Con-
federation of Labor, the old, anti
Fascist organization.
M. Thomas is quoted as saying that
all the international Labor Organiza-
ton cares about is the protection of
the workingmen. If this report is
true, it is the most important capitu-
lation to Fascism yet recorded out
side Of Italy.

FORTY,EICHT HOUR
WEEK
Favored By New York
Working Women

New York-A three month survey
by the Consumers League shows that
working women in factories and
stores are overwhelmingly in favor of
48-hour law.
The league placed its facts before
the state industrial survey commits
sion as an answer to testimony in
opposition to the proposed legislation.
Agents of the league obtained jobs
in factories and stores to know the
attitude of women workers. Of 500
women interviewed, 407 are in favor
of the law, 55 oppose and 38 with
opinions qualified by conditions.
"Much of the sentiment against a
48hour law, supposed to represent
the views of working women is really
the expression of employers" rep
resentative of the league said. "These
employers let their employees know
their attitude and then ask what the
employe thinks. Fearing the loss of
their positions, there is only one thing
for the women to do, and they pre-
tend to agree with the men who con-
troll them"
Women were willing to sacrifice the
opportunity for additional income, and
favored regulation of working hours
by law, it was stated, because employ
ers who were not prevented by law
regulated working schedules to fit
desires.

Similar proposals have been defeat

Smiths political opponents. The law
makers will probably take no action
on the bills until the state industrial
survey commission makes it's report,

DIESEL SAILING ALONG

Hitting on all eight" as the proud
owner of powerful automobile would
say, the big Diesel engine undergoing
the 30-day test of continuous running
at the Hooven, Owens, Rentschler Co.
plant, is sailing along as smoothly
as swallow would through the air,
with about eight days more to run
concluding the test. And as one of
the men in charge said: She's run
ming smoother every minute she
runs"
And whole Hamilton is watching
with much interest the result of the
test. Civic pride, of course, has much
to do with the interest of the Hamil-
ton people in the test of this great
piece of work in which the H. O. R.
company put in great amount of
effort and vast sum of money, but
it isn't civic pride alone that causes
this great interest and wish for the
what its success means to the work
ers and to Hamilton generally, in the
future, that is the reason for this
,.,+o
The Hooven, Owens, Rentschler Co.
has meant much to Hamilton and its
workers in the past With success
with the Diesel engine the H. O. r.
Co. is going to mean still greater
things to the city IL the future.
Therefore all Hamilton is wishing
every success for the Diesel.
And those men, the officials and
attaches who have worked so hard
and tirelessly for the success of the
big engine, are deserving of every
word of praise, and the good wishes
being heard on all sides and to them
will be owing, in the years to come,
the gratitude of all Hamilton, for the
success of the Hooven, Owens, Rent
schler Company means for the good
of the workers of Hamilton, and that
means for the good of the entire city
So here is wishing for the success
of the Diesel engine in every possible
way and manner-"may she ever run
smoother"

enemies who have long sought his
scalp. The Colorado supreme court

last election for the juvenile court
judgeship his opponent, man dead

he will be found fighting for the rights

SMITH ENTITLED TO SEAT

Frank L. Smith, senator-elect from
Illinois, is dirty but dry" He was
elected through the use of corrupt
money, hundreds of thousands of dol
lars having been contributed to his
campaign by public utility concerns,
which virtually purchased his voice
and his vote in the senate.
All this is admittedly true; but
Frank L. Smith was elected by the
people of Illinois, who, presumably
had sufficient intelligence to know how
to vote. Therefore, he is the repre-
sentative of the people of Illinois,
voluntarily chosen as their spokesman
in the senate.
If this is representative govern
ment, then Frank L. Smith must take
his seat in the senate. The senators
from Ohio, or Florida, or California,
have no right to determine who shall
or shall not represent the people of
Illinois.
If the folks of Illinois want "dirty
but dry" senators, that's their busi-
ness. The voters of the Buckeye
state, in electing Frank Willis, chose
a messenger boy for Wayne Wheeler
rather than a dignifed representative
of the people Of Ohio, but that's no
excuse for senators from other states
trying to unseat him. Ohio must pay
the penalty for its own mistakes, just !

THE YELLOW DOG"

The yellow dog" is the meanest
form of trade union opposition.
This scheme has been approved by
the United States supreme court, un-
der the plea of "sacredness of con-
tract"
The yellow dog" is based on the
necessities of job-seekers who must
agree not to join a trade union as
the price for earning living for
themselves and dependents.
The yellow dog" violates elemen-
tai justice; also the first provision of
contract law-that a signed agree
ment, if legal, shall be devoid of CO.
ercion.
The latest yellow dog" is in New

THE WIFE AS AN ORGANIZER

he w lT r. AO AIN ONUAINIL lien
Fellow unionists, how much time do
you devote to teaching the principles
of unionism to your wife? If you
but stopped to think of it, the wife is
in a position to do some splendid or
ganizing, and if the union men of any
city would organize their wives into a
buyers union, in short time there
would not be a non-union store or
business in the city.
However, the wife is not to blame if
husband, upon his return from work,
hangs up his unionism along with his
coat, and forgets that he belongs to
the union until he goes to work the
next day.
Ten minutes day devoted to in
forming the women of the objects of
trades unionism would pay big divi-
dends. Tell the women why union
stores should be patronized. Tell
them why union label goods should be
bought and why prison made gar
ments should be Stunned. Explain to
the wife and the family just what it
means to you and your fellow work
ers if your dollars are spent where
they do the most good for the union
labor movement, and it will result in
the greatest advance for the labor
movement we have ever seen in our
city-Ex.

were defeated. Now they would join

an injunction.
Following the United States supreme
court in the case of Hitchman VS..
United Mine Workers December 10,
1910, the New York court says, "a
contract is a contract" as it orders
the car men to observe their yellow" !"
1t is no answer to say that these
workers must abide by such a one
sided contract. Courts always insist
that when contract is signed no un-
fair advantage must be taken of
either signatory. The one exception
is when employers want their 'syellow
dog" enforced. Courts ignore an alb
scence of mutuality and the conditions
of workers when they were compelled
to sign.
What court will say that a man
seeking shelter and bread for his loved
ones is a free agent when presented
yellow dog?
1t is worse than immoral to ex
plot the necessities of worker who
seeks employment under such condi
tions and who is compelled to pledge
that he will waive legal and a mora
right to secure employment.
When courts uphold the "yellov
dog" they WELD two-edged sword
Not only do they aid employers il
debasing workers, but by ignoring {
fundamental of contract law they arm
all those who would bring an essen
tial branch of government into con
tempt.
