WHAT IS BEHIND
C0SSACK PLAN?

Proposals in various legislatures to
establish the cossacks, or a state con-
stabulary, have the usual claw en-
forcement" window dressing.
No man who has reasoning facul-
ties will accept the claim of corpor-
ate interests that they spend their
money to protect the farmer
These interests want state police
controlled by the governor The next
step is greater inroads on popular
control of the police force that is now
in the hands of the people.
The cossack proposal is but another
phase of the quiet effort to centralize
to Mussolinize-our political sys-
tenn. Other phases are the commits
sion form of government, the labor
injunction which sets up one-man
rule, and the budget system, which
takes control of the purse from the
people.
Citizens should bear in mind that
privilege and reaction never place
their cards on the table. Flank at
tack is their mode of fighting. When
they plead for efficiency" and claw
and order" the joker should be sought.
Every purchase, influenced by the
union label, is bomb dropped into
the open shop camp.

Washington, D. C.-That much that
is of interest to the average citizen
of this country is likely to be discuss
ed at the near r-at-hand sixth national
convention of the Workers Educa-
tional Bureau, it seems reasonable to
predict. The convention will be held
in Washington on April 5, 6 and z.
The general committee on arrange
ments feels itself fortunate in being
able to announce that William Green,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, will speak on workers
Education and the Labor Movement" "
and DR.. Frank Mann, president of the
American Council of Education, on
Education, Mechanization, and Oc-
cupational Shifts" 1t is hoped James
j. Davis, secretary of labor, will
speak on Education and Industrial
Relations"
There will be other speeches, great
in the sense that they will throw
valuable light on the vital problems
now clamoring for solution and also
speeches by men Of renown from
abroad whose acceptances are yet to
be reached. The actual program of
the convention is likely to be better
than this preliminary announcement.
Timeliness of the Convention
Clear from the beginning the COM
mittee on arrangements has been
keenly alive to the timeliness of this
convention-so many economic prob
lens pressing for solution. AS the
convention call made clear the forth
coming convention completes a cycle

cational movement, established for the
benefit, education and enlightenment

Industry Must Go Democratic
OrWatch Governmental Power
Increase Scope, Says Forbes

New York City-There is plenty
wrong with industry and lot of
mending is needed, in the view of B.
c. Forbs, editor and owner of Forbes
Magazine, writing in the issue of his
publication just out.
Forbes finds wide dislocation of en-
ployment, too many idle, too little re-
gard to what happens to workers over
40. Practically all that Forbes says in
his article has been said by labor men
and much of it in almost the same
language, but in this case it is being
said by man who is regarded as an
adviser to industrialists and who is
a feature writer on finance in daily
newspapers, as well as L his own pub
lication.

JOKER
In State Police Bill Would
Protect Armed Thugs

Pittsburgh, Pa.-Defects in Gov
ernor Fishers proposal to substitute
system of industrial police for the
coal and iron police are pointed out
by the executive committee of the
constitutional rights committee of
this city.
The committee includes well-known
lawyers and prominent citizens who
call attention to loopholes in the pro-
posed legislation. The governors
bill, it is stated, fails to provide ade-
quate bond for new policemen; fails
to provide effective supervision by
public official and fails to limit the
district of operation of the new off
GERS. The committee declares that the
industrial police should have no police
powers in towns and villages which,
although they may be on company
owned property, are no real part of
the industrial plant.
If the Fisher bill is passed as pre-
sented coal owners will be in as COM
plete control of the industrial police
as in the case of the coal and iron
police, whose thuggery has finally
aroused the citizens of this state.
An amusing feature of the attempt
to curb these gunmen is the pious
"law-and-order" pretense of anti
union coal owners.

Abuses Arousing Hostility

American industry faces either
larger measure of political govern
ment or larger measure of self-gov-
ernment, he said. Industry will itself
decree which. Governmental curbing
of business invariably has been the
outgrowth of widespread hostility
the anti-railroad legislation of years
ago is a classic example Two out
standing factors in this evolution are
innumerable consultations and in
creasing production per capita, due to
the increasing use of labor saw
ing machinery and electric power.
Both factors are being accompanied
by dislocation of employment on a
wide scale. Notwithstanding that
Americas productivity is greater to-
day than ever before, there is a quite
considerable amount of unemployment
throughout the country. Especially
has there been widespread dismissal
Of workers of 40 years of age or over.
Very naturally this is producing
discomfort 1t is bitterly complained
that corporations, particularly those
figuring in mergers which have
brought changes in management, have
thrown many workers on the street
without giving the slightest thought
as to their future. If this condition
has arisen during the country's un-
paralleled period of prosperity, how
much more aggravated is it likely to
become when prosperity gives way to
depression?

EXAMINERS NAMED
FOR CH|ROPRACT|C
Limited Definition of Term
Adopted by Commission Ex-
pected to Be Criticized.

The board to examine chiropractors
applying for a license in the District of
Columbia was appointed yesterday by
the Commission on Licensure to Prac-
tice the Healing Art. and the COM
mission adopted a limited definition
of the term "chiropractic," which at
the District Building was expected to
cause adverse comment among men,
bers Of the chiropractic fraternity.
DR.. Victor Meyers, president of the
District of Columbia Chiropractic So
ciety, today expressed the belief that
the definition will not place any addi-
tional limit on the regular practice Of
chiropractorS. DR.. Meyers said he does
not believe any of the chiropractors will
object to the definition, unless they
misunderstood the general text.
The system was defined as the system
Of palpating analyzing and adjusting
the articulation Of the human spinal
column by hand. This definition, 1t Is
explained, would not prevent a chiro-
practor from massaging other parts of
the human body, as massage is Specifl-
cally exempted from control Of the
medical practice act, passed at the last
session Of Congress, under which the
new commission is functioning.
The commission will shortly be called
upon to define other healing arts such
as neturopathy and the like.
The board of chiroDractic examiners
appointed consists of DR.. H. D. Norton,
for three years; DIR. Hubert N. Roberts,
for two years, and DR.. Marguerite G.
Dunnigan, for one year.

MORE CARE is URGED
TO BEAUTIFY NATION
Greater Time and Efforts Are Ad
vised by Secretary Wilbur in
Radio Address.

Greater care toward Identification of
America was urged by Secretary of the
Interior Wilbur in a radio address over
Station WRC last night.
I'VE can afford to spend some time
and effort in making things look bet
ter" the Secretary declared, adding:
why not stop living so much in the
midst of bewildering signs, tawdry
buildings, weeds, waste paper and old
cans?
Trees are in the nurseries ready TO
plant, flower seeds are cheap, exercise
with hoe is just as healthful as golf,
and your neighbor can enjoy your gar
den with you if your hedge is not too
high"
The Secretary declared that in many
places there is great charm, but that
the buildings and other things near
the highways block the vision"
1T is like having cinder In your
eye" he said. America is SO beautiful,
but man has done so many things to 1t
that it often looks its best after fresh
fall of six inches of snow. We have
been in too big hurry to cut things
down and cut them up, to build with
out much thought and to make money
with rush. We now have settled up
the whole country from shore to shore
and can now quietly go about the task
of making the most of what we have
left and of building for the future"

BOARD CONSIDERS
STREET CAR SPEED
Public Utilities Commission
Fails to Act on P
Street Report.

The first Of the important problems
to confront the new personnel of the
Public Utilities Commission at its ini-
tial business meeting yesterday was the
speed Of street cars across bridges. The
question occupied the attention of the
commission for upwards of an hour,
but the discussion was inconcluSive.
The matter will be taken up again at
the commissions meeting Thursday.
Specifically, the discussion was about
a report of H. r. HoWser, assistant
bridge engineer of the District, that
street cars of the Washington Railway
e. Electric Co. cross the P street bridge
in Georgetown at excessive rates of
speed, such as it would be criminal" to
allow to continue.
This brought up the question of the
respective Jurisdictions of the Public
Utilities Commission and the District
Commissioners. Corporation Counsel
William W. Bride advised the commits
sion that 1t had exclusive control over
the speed of street cars, under the act
of Congress creating the commission.
Mr.. Howser suggested one solution of
the problem, that without making any
speed regulations, stop" zones might
be installed at each end of the bridge.
This was one of the solutions conSid-
cred.
While the bridge itself is in good con-
dition, according to Mr.. Howser, the
danger of speeding across it lies in pos
Sible dcrailment of the cars. The tracks
on the bridge have no f1anges or guard
rails

by Segal yesterday. He said that he

The thing that's puzzling Joseph G.

fractures of the left shoulder and right
leg, last night and not remember any
thing about it this morning.

evening, however, with Stringer as The
central actor, and they have all been
written down in chronological order on
the record book at the sixth precinct.
The police are planning to tell Stringer
all about it when he gets out OF Cas-
ualty Hospital.
The first entry on the police blotter is
timed 8:45 pm. That was when
Stringer started across Pennsylvania
avenue at Second street and walked
into the side of an automobile driven
by Paul v. Murray of the 100 block of
street. Stringer was knocked down
and rolled over into the gutter, but he
doesn't remember 1t.
Then the police came onto the stage
and Oficer M. A. Kelly took StringeI

Stringer in a wheel chair and DR.. H
