NO HYSTERICAL ENFORCEMENT

Common sense has won victory at
Washington, and the nation will not
have a spasm of hysterical "law en-
forcement" by prohibition officers.
This is on the authority of President
Hoover, who does not believe that
drives" are the way to get law en-
forcement.
The country is to be congratulated
on its escape from the infiction of
what had been heralded as the big
gest ever" prohibition drive" The
prohibition law may or may not be
enforceable. but it's a sure bet that
campaigns" put on now and then
will not enforce it. Such campaigns
are not effective in the long run and
i've too nanV or
abuses of authority and violation OF
constitutional rights to be regarded
with any satisfaction by liberty-lov.

LABOR'S CHIEF SPOKE
FOR PROGRESS; GREAT
BANKER SPOKE TWADDLE

Speaking to members of the Bond
Club in New York city this week.
President Green again pressed hard
upon the ramparts of machinery with
the flag of humanity. He showed how
machinery is replacing workers who
find themselves without work, and he
warned owners and managers of the
injustice of "appropriating to them
selves all the benefits which come
through the use of machinery and
power"
Mr.. Green spoke from forum of
big business. Indeed, the chairman
said that few years ago it would
have been thought very strange by
the club to have a trade union leader
as speaker-and so it would.
But it is one of the signs of the
advancing times that there are many
employers, many financiers, many
men who are just plunging along
without knowing where they are go.
ing and who are really eager tc
know, if that be possible.

Mr.. Lewisohn is a director. He is
not local manager. He said this:
1T is nonsense to think that industry
can be successfully run on anything
approaching a parliamentary system.
The functions of employe committees
and works councils should be entirely
advisory and consultative"
Mr.. Lewisohn's statement that To-
cal managers do the managing and
shape the relations with labor NAV
be true, as far as it goes, but where
is the manager in a Lewisohn indus
try who will not read what "the big
boss" had to say and trim his sails
accordingly?
William Green's speech of the same
day was the speech of a statesman.
man, seeing national well-being as a
goal, seeing mass human welfare as
the paramount thing in social and
economic existence. But the young
and even the older engineers and local
managers who operate plants in
which such gentlemen as Mr.. Levi
sohn are the heavy stockholders will
attune their ear to the idea that when
labor comes to state it's case labor
should speak humbly, in an "advisory
and consultative" fashion.

And that is precisely what labor
never has done and never can allow
itself to do. Labor has taken the lead
in every great economic reform in

Again President Green called for
governmental agency to formulate
plans and help in solving this crucial
problem of what to do with men, or
rather what to do with machines so
that they may not crush mankind.
Nothing can be of graver concern
than the welfare of humanity. The
race cannot permit itself to be over
whelmed by its own inventions. The
trouble is that good many human
beings are perfectly willing to see
other human beings crushed. 1t is
labor's purpose to prevent this, as
President Green so clearly, so insist
emily and so emphatically points out.
On the same day there was another
speech delivered in New York San
uel A. Lewisohn, known for his in
terests in copper, banking and many
other lines, said to some engineering
students: "The idea that labor poll
cies of corporations are controlled by
boards of directors and by New York
bankers is misapprehension" Lo.
cal managers, mostly engineers. he
said, are the men who control labor
policies.

 A It can be done by timing the subsequent sound of thunder. Sound travels in air of medium tempera- lures at the rate of approximately 1,126 feet per second. By using stop watch and counting the time between observing a flash and hearing the thunder, you can esti- mate the distance. If the flash is so far away that no sound of thun- der reached you. you cannot esti- mate the distance. Of course, in a heavy thunder storm where light ming flashes are continuous or near ly, so, the rolls of thunder overlap, or occur almost simultaneously, and it is practically impossible to esti- mate any particular flash.
