Labor Day

The day set aside to the celebration of the dignity
and rights Of labor finds larger number OF unem-
poyed than ever before That is true not only Of THIS
country but Of Germany. Britain and Italy.
The establishment of Labor day national hol-
day was political concession to the power Of organ
lied abr It's founders believed that on this day there
would be parades speeches counseling together for
future plans.
The early demands Of labor were for living wage
shorter hours sanitary factory conditions These have
been obtained together with judicial decisions that
labor is not commodity to be bought and sold in the
competitive rarts, but is human endowed with in
alienabe rights to live under safe and decent con-
ditions.
Whether present labor organizations can solve the
present inevitable problems of unemployment is doubt
full Their psychology built up during the years does
not fit into the problem, which is not that OF
competing for work between organized and unor-
ganzed labor but of so distributing labor to make
full use Of modern invention without compelling men
replaced by machinery join the bread lines Of the
workless.
The new problem involves the right to work 1t
should challenge not only the workers whose job may
be taken by machine tomorrow but the owners OF
industry who are anxious to retain the benefits
of their ownership.
Industry, and that means labor resources as well
as machinery can not exist half idle and half busy.
New industries offering opportunities for the WORK.
less or a distribution Of jobs among available labor,
must solve what is rapidly becoming not only ma
tional but an international problem.

Cutting the National Melon

Are the rich getting richer and the poor poorer?
Would we all be rich if national income were
divided up equally? Do the wage earners get enough
to support their families in decency? Are the cap
italsts racing away with most cf the income of the
country?
Questions like these are bound to come forward
when we approach any statment of the distribution
of income in the United States. we have avail
able and the most comprehensive treatment of this
subject National Income and Its Purchasing Power
by w I. King and his associates of the national
bureau Of economic research. How does this COM
pation answer some of these more usual questions?
In the first place, it emphasizes the fact of the
enormous increase in the total national income This
has jumped from $29 Sos 100000 in 1909 to $50
100000 in 1928
Which classes have profted most from this in
crease? Apparently the employees getting larger
percentage now than twenty years ago. In 1909 the
capitalists (employers) received 1903 per cent of the
total. In 1928 they we're getting 42s3 per cent. In
1909 all classes of employees received 5097 per cent
in 1928 it was SIT per cent.
Those of the employed who benefited most we're
the salaried classes The wage share of the
national income increased by less than one-half of
per cent during this period In 1909 it stood at
1856 per cent; in 1928 at 36.O5 per cent.
What about the old charge that the rich are get
LING IlCneI anu Tie poor are gSICILS pOOhe4f LIE
tables seem to bear this out The proportion of the
national income going to persons having an income
less that $1,000 has been declining since 1921 In 1926
it was less than in 1914.
On the other hand, the share going to those with
incomes of $1,000 has increased markedly since 1921
Further, the number of persons having income of
$4,000 to $150000 has doubled since 1921. The num-
Der with incomes of more than $150O0O has increased
hve-fold insce 1921.
Would everybody be prosperous if we divided up
the national income equally among all the 'popua-
ton? If this DONE the per capita income would
be $749 per person for 1928 For family of five this
would mean $S,745. This would bring comfort, but
not luxury.
In reality, each actual wage Garner in 1927 re-
ceived on the average $1,2o5. With the minimum
of health and decency budget for family of five set
at from $1,000 to $4,000, this that have a
good way to go in bringing about any distribution
of our national income which would be compatible
with comfort and decency for the masses Professor
King also estimates that 100000 workers were
idle in 1927.
1t not be maintained that the figures relative
to the distribution of national income prove that
are democracy in any social or economic sense.
Great numbers still stagger along in want worry
and misery.

ply to get publicity Tor the column
he is running. There will be a
whispering campaign to the effect
that he never goes to bed except
by accident or invitation.
Somebody will say politics is no
place for a trout fisherman. Par
ticularly for a man who uses worms
as bait. They will rake up old
photographs of Coolidge with a sap
bucket Coolidge attempting to ride
a bucking bronco. Coolidge in a

any person SO undignifled has a
right to sit in solemn conclave with
the selectmen of Northampton.
More than that, 1t may be roundly
asserted that he is just running for
the exercise and that it would be
tragic disappointment to him if
he won, since that might interfere
with his newspaper job and his
radio broadcasting.
And, of course, his opponents will
say: "Cal is a nice fellow, but why

SCIENCE
A True Style of Architecture
Is Being Developed By
Modern Conditions, Says
Yale Dean.
.RY DAVID DIETZ

HEODERN life and conditions are
NA leading to development of a
true style Of architecture. This is
the opinion of Dean Everett v.
Meeks of the Yale university school
Of fine arts.
DR.. Meeks sets forth his opinion
in a report prepared for the Ameri-
can Institute of Architects.
He characterizes the new style as
expressive not only Of contempo-
rary materials and methods Of con-
struction and function, but reflect
ing as we'll modern life, modern
ideals and particularly latter-day
conceptions of beauty Of form" )"
A definite and rationalized devel-
opment in architectural forms lead
ing to this outcome is taking place,
according to Dean Meeks.
1.-The entire world of art today Is
facing the grave problem Of what
laymen, critics and artists alike are
going to do about the contempo-
rary movement in art" he says.
There exists an attitude in the
architectural profession and among
critics toward style as it applies to
present-day design so complicated
that not only must itpuzzle the lay
man, perhaps even disgust him, but
what is even worse, completely dis
orient hini.''

Wiped Off the Map

ITO sum it up, a century of me-
i chanical improvements and
trade expansion has wiped about
every condition which justified the
Monroe Doctrine off the map.
There are problems peculiar to
the western hemisphere, of course,
just as there are problems peculiar
to Europe, and an American league,
modelled after the Locarno pact,
might be a very desirable institution.
Such league. however, can not be
based on the Monroe Doctrine,
which makes the United States
virtual dictator, and which is predi-
Gated on the hypothesis that the
two hemispheres must be held at
arms length.
Latin American nations are not
only entitled to voice in the solu-
ton of such problems as may arise
among them, but to a free express
sion of opinion, with regard to
problems that may arise between
them and European governments.
They not only have grown strong
enough to protect themselves against
foreign interference, but European
governments have grown sensible
enough to let them alone.
Under such circumstances 1t should
not be a matter of wonderment or
surprise on our part that they find
the Monroe Doctrine distasteful and
humiliating.

A New Loophole for Coal and Iron Police

The coal and iron policeman of Pennsylvania is a
fearful and wonderful being According to the acts
of Feb. q. 1885, and April II, 1885, which brought
this strange creature into existence this officer of
the law" is selected by the coal companies or the
railroads, is paid exclusively by the private compa-
MES and may be discharged by these companies.
Yet he is at the same time commissioned by the
Governor of the state. and has full authority to act
as public officer
In the light of his choice and remuneration, does
the legal relation of master and servant exist between
the private companies and the coal and iron police
mani Are the companies liable for the acts of their
cops? Can the companies be sued for damages as
result of the acts of the coal and iron policemen
serving them2
This is a question of crucial Importance. If the
companies are not liable then have of WE'LL
nigh complete responsibility on the part of the
coal and iron companies and the railroads.
Their representatives can DO anything they please
for the companies and the railroads. Their repre-
sentatives can do anything they please for the
panies in the name of the commonwealth of Penn
sylvania and the injured parties have no redress
This atrocous state of affairs seems actually to
exist as a result of recent but overlooked decision
by Judge sadler of the supreme court of Pennsyl-
vanis ruling in appeal in the case of Fagan vs. the
Pittsburgh Terminal Coal Corporation The facts
essentially as follows:
Pagan was an officer of the United Mine Workers.

LABOR DAY
Septemher 1

T ABOR DAY, an annual holiday
IL in honor of workingmen and
working women, is celebrated in
every state Of the Union today. AS
Labor day is designated for the first
Monday in September, it falls on no
fixed date.
The idea for the holiday was born
in Boston, but to Matthew Mcguire,
secretary of the Central Labor
Union in New York City, credit be-
longs for launching the first formal
movement.
In 1882 he corresponded with the
various labor organizations in his
state with view to setting aside
one day in each year as their own
holiday.
The proposition approved, the
first Monday in September was
chosen. Mcguire was made chair
man of the committee to arrange
for the first Labor day celebra-
ton.
1t proved SO successful that it was
decided to continue the holiday an
nually. The next year the New
York Central Labor Union corre-
sponded with similar organizations
throughout the country with view
to having celebrations elsewhere. A
number of cities responded.
When the holiday began to as
sumo a national character New
York made the day a legal holiday.
Massachusetts, and then other states
soon followed suit. On June %,
1894, the President signed a bill
making Labor day legal holiday.

AS one advances toward middle
age. he begins to add a little to
the store of body fat, at 35 years
weighing approximately ten pounds
more than at 25, and at so, ten or
twenty pounds more than at 35.
This takes place SO regularly that
it is conceded to b. ~orn'~' r. prob
ably is due to lessened activity, a
lowered activity, particularly of the
glands, and perhaps to a more
quiet life in every possible way.
There are people, however, who
gain much more weight than has
been described as the normal
gain. There are some families
which tend to be fat.
rTst as thero are animals thin
and fat, large and small. so also
there are human bein~- # various

Editor Times-I saw an article in
The Times of Aug. 28 purporting to
be answers to queries. Among them
was an answer to one asking: what
is usury?" Answer: ANY excess over
the legal rate of interest charged
to the borrower Of money"
"This is incorrect and misleading.
1t is true that our modern system
of finance has lent that interpre-
tation to the word and through the
loose methods employed by our high
financiers they have gone a long
way in establishing as custom,
the vicious use and confusing OF
this word with any excess over the
legal rate of interest.
But, strictly speaking, usury means
and is interest Of any kind and so
is rendered in the Bible. And it
is out of these false interpretations,
especially on usury, that the Bible
has been rendered and reduced to
an instrument to confuse and mis-
lead the toiling masses.
Let me quote you. God Himself
speaking denounces and condemns
the bitter exaction Of usury or in
terest, Elk. 22:22; Neh. 5, 7 and 10;
Psalms Is. And Christ vas just as
vigorous in His denunciation per-
tanning to it, ringing down to us
through the centuries in TJfke "a
Lend without usury or interest,
never despairing."

of dsorderly conduct The county court reversed the
case on technicality VIII upon Pagan sued the
coal company for false arrest. He was awarded a
judgment of $4,000.
The company appealed the case and Judge Sadler
reversed the verdict He declared that the company
was not liable for damages done by the coal and iron
policemen in their employ. His reasoning as
follows:
THE disorderly conduct occurred on the public
highway and there was no evidence to show that the
company directed instigated took part in the ap
prehension or detention of Pagan 1t was not made
because Of violation of the rules of the coal COM
1any or to protect its property does it appear
that any wrongful act was ratified by the defend
ant (coal company or one acting with authority
for it,
There was no evidence to overcome the pre-
sumption that the act complained of done by the
commissioned officers in their official capacity, and
not as servants Of the coal company and the latter
can not for that reason be held liable"
According to this decision it would seem that the
coal and iron police carry they see fit and
yet the companies employing them can escape re-
sponsibty for their acts unless some responsible Of

proves the act in question
Isn't this blank warrant for licensed brutality

L Doctrine was predicated on the
theory that we were obligated to
protect the newly formed republics
Of Latin America because they rep
resented political system that was
not only similar to our own, but
diametrically opposed to that of
Europe.
In 1925 the European governments
were virtually all monarchies. In
1880 virtually all are republics, even
though few kings survive.
The need of keeping Europe out of
Latin America to preserve democ-
racy, which so impressed our fore-
fathers, no longer exists.
