cial cost seems insignificant compared
to the human cost.
"a study of 129 communities in
1929 shows that corporations paid
nearly one-quarter of all the funds
raised by community chests for their
welfare work. Manufacturing con-
Germs made the largest contribution;
chain stores, retail and wholesale
merchants, banks and public utilities
also helped. In all, $12,955,000 was
given by these corporations, or % per
cent of the total raised; 33,977 con-
tributions came from them.
Citizens, corporations, generous
individuals pay the financial cost of
low wages by giving to charity But
the human cost cannot be measured"

To Put All on Record

A feature of the campaign will be
an effort to put every candidate for
the house and senate on record on
the injunction issue before the No
vember election. Labor organizations
are being urged to ask the stand of
candidates in their own districts and
to let hostile or evasive candidates
know that they can not expect the
votes of organized workers.
The injunction fight in congress
will be precipitated by the calling up
in the senate of the amended Ship
stead anti injunction bill, recently fa-
vorably reported by minority of the
senate judiciary committee. The
minority report was signed by seven
members of the committee, headed by
Senator George W. Norris, chairman
of the Judiciary committee and out
standing foe of the injunction.
Senator Norris sought to have a
date fixed for bringing up the meas
ure in December. His attempt was
blocked, but it is certain the bill will
come up not long after congress

Norris Faces Bitter Fight

In the meantime, while labor plans
its fight to end the abuse of the in
junction, Senator Norris must battle
for his political life in Nebraska.
The National Manufacturers Associ-
alton and the power interests are
both out to get" Norris, the manu-
facturers because of his able and ag-
gressive espousal of anti-injunction
legislation, and the power people be-
cause of his efforts on behalf of gov
ernment operation of the great Mus
Gle Shoals power development. Of
course, too, both the manufacturers
and the power interests are "agin"
Norris because of his general pro-
gressive record.
An attempt will be made to defeat
Norris in the primaries on August IL,
but there is little chance that it will
succeed, it is said here. There is per-
haps better chance Of defeating him

posed by former Senator Hitchcock,

Has FarmerLabor Support
Norris has been senator since 1913,
being reelected three times, and Ne
braska is proud of him. He has the
enthusiastic and loyal support of the
farmers and workers.
Supporters of the injunction are
eager to defeat Norris for two rea-
sons-frst, to remove from the SEN
ate one Of the leaders in the iniunc-
ton fight and, second, to serve as an
example of what they hope will hap
pen to other opponents of the injunc-
ton. They would like above all else
to be able to point to a defeated Nor
ris and say: "See, that's what hap
pens to senators who fight the in
junction" That they will not have
the opportunity to say this seems Ger
tain, though it is recognized that a
desperate effort will be made to beat
Norris.

Fight Expected to Put Legislative Curb on Courts

Washington, D. c. ILNS)-A
smashing campaign for the passage
of anti-injunction legislation by con
gress in December is now being plan
ned by the American Federation of
Labor. Plans for the battle have not
yet been entirely formulated, but are
shaping up and will be more definite
in the near future, it is expected
The injunction fight will not be a
perfunctory affair but a campaign to
win. Heartened by its defeat of
Judge John j. Parker for nomination
to the supreme court, labor is going
into the injunction fight determined
to win another decisive victory.
1t is proposed to make every SEN
ator and representative show his
hand on the injunction issue, as every
senator was forced to take stand on
the yellow dog contract by his vote in
the Parker contest. 1t is recalled
that while 80 senators voted for
Parker, none had the temerity to de-
fend the yellow dog contract. 1t is
expected that few senators and rep
resentatives will openly defend the
injunction, as now used in many labor
disputes.

TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
Main Chance for Dormitories

A sufficient reason for concerted support Of the
university investment amendment to the state con-
stitution. to be voted on Nov. 4, is that the amend
ment will save the university building fund a quarter
Of a million dollars a year.
Another reason. even more important TO the vel
fare of the students and their benefit from the uni
versity. is that this amendment paves the way for
building the group of student dormitories on the
campus whose need has been so pointedly recognized
by the regents.
This amendment, broadening the scope OF securi-
ties in which the $4,000 university permanent fund
may be invested, includes bonds issued for ~construc-
ton of these dormitories.
With its passage. the university can borrow It's
money, build its dormitories. and have its interest
too.
To keep step with other big institutions o. its kind,
to fulfill its duty TO meet its responsibility to the
youth in its charge, the University OF Texas mus:
have campus dormItories TO house at least its first
year men.
Religious and fraternal organizations have furnish
ed a group of houses for girl students There are
no real dormitories for men at the university.
University regents and authorities want the group
of dormitory structures. They want-the university
needs-both these and the 10 administrative and in
structional buildings listed in the campus program

A MAYORS Wife Is Robbed

II has been a long time since there has been any
thing quite as amusing as Mayor William Hale
Thompson's recent thunderous declaration that Chi
cago's police must get the upper hand in their war
with ~gangland.
Such a declaration, In itself. is not especially funny,
of course. But YOU have to look at it in connection
with its background.
Through several years ~gangland has had Chicago
more or less at its mercy, and during all Of that time
the mayor has never seemed ~perturbed by the situa-
ton. His public remarks have been chiefly asser-
lions that the city's troubles have been greatly mag

the next day the mayor sounded off.

WHEN CHICAGO WAS VOLTS POINT
BUILDING AND PROSPERITY

carbon County NeWs)
Last years total of homes built in the United States sank to
the lowest level since 1921, and this year will doubtless establish
the home building low water mark for a decade.
Last years shortage may have been due to a tightening of credit
because of the great volume of money diverted to speculation. There
is no money shortage at this time, and the unwlHngness of financial
institutions to let loose of cash for home construction must be due
more to apprehension than to actual conditions.
These apprehensions have chiefly been caused by speculative
building in the larger cities, where the construction OF houses be-
yond the needs of the population has caused shrinkage in values
Such apprehension does not properly apply to home building
risks than homes occupied by owners, about which their family life
is built
From both an economic and a social standpoint the halt in the
progress of home construction is to be deplored. The home is our
strongest social cement. Pretty hard to make a revolutionary out
of a home owner Moreover a shortage of proper housing affects
materially the industrial efficiency of a community. More important
still, comfortable homes are the greatest contribution it is possible
to make to the happiness of humans.
This is of course not a local, but a national question. The
The stoppages of the flow of credit come from the top of our fnan-
cal system down. In so far as the national government may exert
influence, it ought to be in behalf of a loosening of credit for home
and industrial construction, whatever limitations IRE placed in spec
ulative ventures either in construction or otherwise. A half billion
dollars lent by the government to build homes would probably do
more to promote wheat prices by putting home, consumers at work
than any effort to directly boost the price of wheat Idle workmen
and their families are not good at consuming a wheat surplus.
The effect Of our vast national and state programs of public
construction is small as compared with that of normal home con-
sTuctin. Last years showdown would justify great expansion of
activity along this line this year and next That expansion would
do much to alleviate the employment situation.
Building materials are at a lower price at this time than in
several years. Now would be the best time to build for anyone
cl institutions should be put in a position to meet the demand for
building by persons wishing to construct homes, but unable to do
so except on a basis of deferred payments for much of the invest
ment required.
