ADMINISTRATION
CRITICIZED

For the third time Chief Justice
Taft has severely criticized the ad-
ministration of criminal law in this
country. He declares that it is dis
graceful and the inability of police
and courts to check crime has result
ed in a "crisis" of disrespect and law
lessness.
Mr.. Taft also criticizes our jury
system, and ntimates that it is break
ing down. Recent notorious cases
seem to substantiate this statement.
AS a general thing the trouble lies
in rule of procedure made by state
legislators. Judges are often handi-
capped by these rules or statutes;
their hands are tied or their mouths
closed by an infexible and silly rule.
For some time cities and states and
bar associations have been conducting
independent "crime surveys" but the
disease seems to extend to federal as
we'll as local courts. In view of the
changed conditions in all lines, 1t
seems to be necessary to revamp the
business of dispensing justice-and
this question needs the earnest atten-
ton of our statesmen.

UNIONS SEEK

ERS OVER As

Three hundred and fifty western
Massachusetts trade unions are en-
gagged in making a survey to deter
mine how many industrial concerns
in their area are barring from en-
ployment as new workers men over
45 years old, and to establish reasons
for this course where it exists.
The survey is being made, accord
ing to a statement by J. F. Gatelee,
vice president of the Massachusetts
State Federation of Labor, to furnish
basis for remedial action by the
federation if the reported condition
is found to prevail.
1t will particularly be ascertained
whether age limits have been set up
to avoid higher premiums on group
insurance.

Right minded citizens should assist

TERM "AMERICAN" DEGRADE

The term american" as used by
anti-union employers, degrades an
ideal for which men have offered
their lives, declared Harold J. Boyd,
county commander Veterans of For
eign Wars, in an address to the State
Building Trades Council convention.
Mr.. Boyd is the first to reproach
cheap wage employers for calling
their anti-union movement the
American plan"
There are those who dare to desc
crate the word America by coupling
it with plan that has as its object
i've the destruction of the very prin-
ciples and ideals that our comrades
have defended with their lives" said
Commander Boyd. II refer to those
enemies of yours and of ours who spon-
sol that which in their infamous pre-
sumption they have dared to style the
American plan
There are laws which protect the
| flag of our country from misuse;
these should be laws which would
protect the word that the flag SYM
bolizes-the word American-from
REASONABLE abuse.
I'VE demand that there shall be but
one law for rich and poor alike, that
might shall not make right, and that
the rights of labor, in collective bar
gaining and in all other things, shall
not be over-shadowed by the power
of wealth, nor rank, nor station"

LET EN- ALL QUIT

The Chicago Tribune, which labor
rightly does not love, announces that
it has closed its news bureau in So
Wet Russia, because "if an American
correspondent expects any privileges
from the government he must cable
thousands of words of soviet propa-
ganda to his paper" 1t is clear that
newspaper correspondents in the land
of the soviets, as in Italy under Mus
solini, are used as far as possible
to further the ends of the dictators.

porting. Why should not every Amer

THAT RED INTER RACIAL
DANCE

The New Leader allows itself to
blow up quite frenzy over a story
carried by international Labor News
Service to its client papers, of which
this paper is one, regarding an inter-
racial dance held in Chicago as a part
of the communist propaganda in that
city. The New Leader is a New York
socialist party organ. 1t concludes
by demanding that Joseph A Wise,
in charge of the ILNS bureau in Chi
cago, be fired"
Of course Joseph A. Wise, a vet
eran trade unionist, will not be fired
by International Labor News Serv-
ice. This trade union organization
does not take orders from the social
ist weekly, nor does it seek advice
from that quarter, any more than il
does from the Daily Worker, com.
munist organ, which likewise fulmi.

CONGRESS CONyENES

The special session of congress,
called by the president to consider
farm relief and tariff changes, con-
vened April Is.
The administration favors a short
session, which will confine its activi-
ties to the consideration of the two
issues. The minority party, supported
by a group of progressives in the
majority party oppose what they de-
clare IS an attempt to Straight
jacket" congress by confning the law
makers to a set program Under the
constitution, congress can consider
any question it sees fit, and can stay
in session all summer if so disposed.
Other major issues that are being
urged include the census bill, prohi-
bition, the federal reserve board
stock market speculation, repeal of
the national origins provisions Of the
immigration law, reapportionment of
the members of congress according to
the census, which has been ignored
for years, and other highly contro-
versial questions.
Social legislation will be urged by
organized labor if congress considers
other questions than the tariff and
farm relief.
The equalization clause of the farm
relief bill seems to be doomed, as it
is rejected by many former advo-
Gates. Two plans are now proposed
revolving fund of 100000 900 to
aid farmers in marketing crops and
the debenture plan. The latter pro-
posal would give to the shipper of a
surplus crop certificate equivalent
to the market price, on a bushel of
wheat, for example, and what that
price would be if it had the benefit of
the tariff, which would be az cents a
bushel in the case of wheat. These
debentures could be sold to importers
to pay tariff charges on goods i'm
ported. This plan is used in Germany
and other European countries.
If congress runs to form in this
special session, very little can be ex-
pected by labor or the farmers. After
the adjournment both will perhaps
find that nothing has been done and
the matter will likely be considered
at the next session.

Thus far, in spite of both these eff

fumbling, cropping, getting some-
where because there was no other
place to go, having, all in all, little to

A few men, engaged in research,

When Henry Ford and few others
started making automobiles they
changed the course of all life. They

but they did it. The rest have fol-

feeling that it was good. And it is
good. Now the airplane comes zoom-

it means may be in the Ford an

FOUR-LANE ROADS
WOULD CUT JAMS
Wide Highways Are Seen as Pay
ing for Selves Through
Safety.

Motoring toward large metropolitan
center on a sunny Saturday afternoon,
when wheeled hordes are bound for the
open country. reveals pertinent facts
about highways.
The first thing that is forcibly i'm
pressed upon the motoriSt going against
the heavy traffic flow Is that two-lane
roads are decidedly not wide enough.
Slow trucks, crawling old hulks OF cars,
hyper-cautious drivers hold back traflc
until a jam of cars quarter mile or so
long results.
Drivers, driven to distraction by de-
lays, then suddenly dart out from their
prescribed lanes of travel when oncom-
ing traffic permits of passing. Here the
we'll known human element enters in,
for if a driver misjudges the open
spaces a collision may result. A four
hour ride against this wave of country
bound traffic brings several narrow eS-
capes that cannot be recounted without
a rise in blood pressure.
In addition to the dangers present in
forging ahead on the two-lane road,
there Is the inability to get speed in
keeping with the temper of modern cars,
most Of which travel some so miles an
hour without excessive vibration. Fifty
miles an hour is not dangerous speed,
yet 1t cannot be conSctentiouSly attained
on the narrow road when cars are thick.
Another criticism of the rural road,
in remote regions as well as metropol-
itan areas, Is that 1t usually passes
through the center of every hamlet and
town on the route. One little town In
Southern Wisconsin, with single trafic
light on the main highway running
through on the chief business street, is
frequently nothing short Of choked with
automobiles that have no business there.
Marrow roads must he Widened as fast
as communities can make finances avail
able, for without doubt congestion and
accidents are costing as much or more
than wider roads. Two-lane roads are
suitable for traf1c only where weekday
travel is light and week end travel mod
crate. A heavy volume of traf1lc demands
roads at least four lanes in width. Acct
dents would be reduced considerably II
by road builders magic all congested
routes were to be widened. That would
mean a distinct lowering OF car insur-
ance rates.

AUTO PRODUCTION
MAINTAINS LEVEL
Current Weeks Figures Are
Slightly Higher Than at
/ Months Opening.

DETROIT, Mich, September al
Automobile production during the cur
rent week maintained levels somewhat
higher than those at which the month
began, the elevating of schedules ex-
ceeding any reductions in output to
noticeable degree, according to B. II.
Cram, industry authority.
The increases occurred in both the
high and medium priced car fields,
while the low-priced class held to its
previous levels. At the majority OF
plants. however, operating schedules
we the same as those Of the previous
week. Since the month opened with
increased activity at many factories and
as vet no indication of any marked cur
ta'lment in the industry as whole has
appeared, 1t seems highly probable that
final tabulation of production figures
for September will reveal a noticeable
increase over August output.
Production during the last month ex-
c.eded that of July by about $4,000
units, final figures show. July output
was estimated at approximately 517,00l
