FORCE WORKERS
IN CINCINNATI TO
Fill. CITY CHEST
Docked / Day Wages
for Community Fund

CINCINNATI, o. (By Mail).-
After whooping it up for fortnight
in the interest of bigger and better
charity, this center of Art, Culture
and the Higher Things Ut is nation
ally known for its university and
sausages) has managed to scrape to-
gether the S2,054, 600 for its two year
Community Chest budget.
The seven thousand solicitors
literally sweated blood as dashed by
the rhetoric and pointed taunts of
William Albers, chain grocery czar,
they canvassed every house in the
5lums, every factory, shop and of
flee, every store-even the Kroger
Grocery Stores, Albers' own, to
scrape together the contents of the
city's generous giving"
Everyone Has Stake
And after it is all done, the news
comes forth from headquarters that
this kind of "giving" is to be the
rule henceforth. Everyone is to
have a stake" in the city's philan-
thropy According to the new plan,
the poor should give to themselves,
since they are the chief beneficiaries.
Such title things, however, had
little effect on the success of the
Chest ampaign this year. General
Chairman Albers and his fifteen or
twenty millionaire club friends gave
the signal and the task masters re-
layed the orders down the line.
Workers Forced to Pay.
The the joker was discovered.
Having scared everyone sick by
making them believe that great
deal of giving was expected Of them,
Albers and his gang of millionaire
"philanthropists" in charge of the
drive, thought to make doubly sure
that no slackers would be recorded.
So every firm with Pay roll kindly
pGisOkGu HUH LiiC HSShly pay Va
every worker one days pay.
A better scheme to insure success
was never schemed 1t worked
beautifully. Scab plant notorious
for the miserable condition of their
slaves, just baamed as they saw
their names on the front pages Of
the press each day of the drive.
"Iroger GGrocery Gives $35,000."
Proctor and Gamble Gives $45,G00."
One days pay from every worker
was the penalty of continuing on
the job. Those that protested-and
they were few, as good Americans"
must not heller when the boss "sug
gests" --were promptly fired.
Get Least, Give Most.
Yes, Cincinnati did itself proud
So proud indeed, that the scheme
will be used in every charitable
drive. And Mr.. Albers and his CO.
horts announce that the plan will be
suggested to other cities in need of
organized giving"
And on top Of this news comes the
report that a super community
ehest" is being planned by all the
super corporations CT the United
States Having merged everything
in sight, they believe there is moth
ing left to merge but philanthropy
and that those who receive the least
should give the most.

Occupy Liebknecht House.
Police today occupied, but later
evacuated, the Karl Liebknecht
house, in which are situated Rote
Fahne, the militant Communist
daily, and the Communist Party
headquarters.
The newspaper Montagszeitung
was confiscated. Several news
papers have been reporting that the
police in their muTderous campaign
used dum-dum bullets against the
workers, and print photographs Of
the bullets to prove it.
Besides the Australian reporter
who was killed, another reporter,
Paul Weymar, reporter for the Vos-

by the police.
Socialists Like Zoergeibel.
After a furious anti-Communist
campaign in favor of the police, the
bourgeois newspapers have now
commenced to publish energetic crit
icism Of the police action. This ap-
plies especially to the Berliner
1ageblatt, the Achtuhrabendblatt,
the Berliner Zwelfuhrblatt and the
Frankfurter Zeitung.
The only newspaper completely
satisfied with Zoergeibel is the So

PRIVATELY OWNED AIRPORTs

The city of New Haven appears to be confronted with . peculiar situ- alton with respect to an airport. The city is anxious to step in line with those progressive municipalities pos sessing such appurtenances and is inclined to buy land at Morris Cove for . municipal airport. But . pri- vate concern is planning to develop an airport on the Milford turnpike. and has advised the city that in view of the private enterprise a municipal airport would not be necessary.
 It isn't often that q city. prepared to expend money for municipal airport. is advised that 1t is un- necessary because private capital stands ready to do the same things. One would think that. under the cir cumstances, the city would be pleas ed to save its money and let the private concern go ahead. Not 70 In New Britain. Although the airport committee will not have a final re- port ready until next week, it is talk en for granted that it will prefer the municipal venture.
 This will make it easier for the airplanes using it, as the private ports charge real money for ship calls.

HOW MANY STEADY LISTENERS,

The survey which states there are 10000, 900 radio receiving sets in use sounds impressive. So does the est- mate that there are 45,O0O,000 po- tential listeners.
 But the point that is most neces- sary 10 such survey is lacking Of the number of radio receiving sets, how many are dark half the time: how many are dark three-quarters of the time; and how many are in use only when there is 8 special at traction on the air?
 Unfortunately these are things that defy tabulation. The broadcast ing companies are frantically engag- ed in causing the sets to be lighted up as much'as possible; but they will never know how we'll Or how ill they sncceed. The percentage of listeners is even harder to judge than formerly. because Of the fact that the novelty has worn off and few fans bother about writing postal cards to the companies. The latter are more in the dark about he situation than many of the sets

 The courts have held that in the case of public utilities such a tele- phone concerns, eight per cent is . reasonable income. And by tho way. there is also some disagreement as to how to value such utilities in or der to arrive at the reasonable re- turn. It may be hard 70 understand why the railroads are not allowed to earn more than six per cent without dividing with the government. while other types of public utilities possessing more of . monopoly are allowed to earn eight per cent; but that is merely one of those things that defies the mind.

THE BRITISH ELECTION
 CAMPAIGN

The general election campaign un- der way in Great Britain. which will , come to head at the general elec- tion on May 30, is interesting 20,- 100000 voters in England, Wales.
 Scotland and Northern Ireland. They
 will choose 615 members to con- stitute the next House of Commons.
 The disproportion between the size Of the present Conservative majority in the House and the share of the total vote boiled by Conservative
 candidates in the last election, con- sidered in conjunction with the anti. Conservative trends Of the 50 or
 more by-elections held since 1920.
 makes it safe prediction that the
 Conservatives at least will lose . large number of seats. Indeed, many
 observers qualified to judge predict that there will be turnover in the
 government. and that there will be Liberal-Labor coalition, provided
 Lloyd George and Sir Ramsey Mac
 Donald can come 10 terms
 It is unlikely that either the Liber- al or the Labor parties will be able
 to obtain a separate control of
 Parliament. To obtain . majority of one. the Labor party would need to gain 157 seats; and to attain the same end the Liberal party would
 need to gain 26s seats. No one doubts that both these parties will show large gains. but 1t requires a special sort of optimist to suppose
 they will do as we'll as that. How ever. both combined in all proba- bility will have considerable of a ma. jority over the Conservative party after the votes are counted.
 The three parties are appealing to a much larger electorate than ever before, and to . more independent electorate. The Equal Franchise act of 1928 reduced the age at which women may vote from 30 to 21 years, adding more than 5,Ooo,o0o voters to the lists at one stroke. In many i'm portant districts the women voters outnumber the men. Twenty-fiye years ago over 90 per cent of the , British voters were definitely lined
 up with onS or the other of the major parties and could be counted
 upon to cast their votes for its candidates in general elections, In the last election the number had fallen to about 60 per cent and it is estimated that in the 1929 election it will be found 10 have declined to such an extent that the independent
 voters, plus the new voters, will con- stitute two-thirds of the electorate.

A POSSIBLE LOCAL AIRPORT

At no time for several years has the realization been better for a city airport. Mayor Paonessa in his mes- sage to the Common Council of spoke highly in favor of 1t: that doea not 70 very far, however, without the money to pay for the land. The land now under surveillance is off Cor bin avenue, near the Polish ceme- tery. and the owner has guaranteed there will be no real estating in con- nection with the deal-that the city can have it at q rock bottom price. Which sounds agreeable. at least.
 The trouble in New Britain is that we are in favor of many improve ments-in theory. But when the mo- ment arrives to expend . little money there is disposition to shelve the improvements until sometime later" The years roll by. the improvements remain mere topics for conversation, and the tax rate goes up all the same.

A NEW JOB FOR COPS

Using policemen to flag trains at the Main street crossing at such times when fire equipment is sup posed to have the right Of way seems . simple way out of the diff ficulty. It is 70 simple. indeed. that one wonders why the scheme wasn't thought of before.
 There are one or two difhculties' however, i. e.: At the moment the Ire siren sounds there may not be a policeman near enough to the cross- ing ts get there in time to flag trains; or if 70. passenger train from Bristol may be coming 50 fast that to flag it may be difficult, es- pecially if the train already is bowl ing along pretty close to the cross ing.
 The Main street crossing. the "busiest along the New Haven sys- tenn" will remain a nuisance until it is removed.

BIRTH AND DEATH DECLINES

BIRTH AND DEATH DECLINES
 Figures made public by the city department of health relative to the decline ia bivths and deaths during the last five years arc Illuminating. They indicate less marrying. or less fecundity after marriage: and also an improved technic in keeping babies alive after they are born. The former high mortality rates among infants was what made the death rate high. The percentage has been reduced 70 substa antially that the net result is . general reduction in the death rate.
 The days when there was an amaz- ing birth rate. accompanied by an equally amazing death rate among infanta is past. Improved medical attendance and a more diffused knowledge of infant care is respon- sibls for the decreased death rate. In spite of the decrease in births the net result is . fair increase of the population.
