UNION CARDS SAIL
OVER SOUTH POLE

Hollywood, Calf Two trade union
cards, held by Joseph T. Rucker and
Willard Van der Veer, sailed over the
South Pole with the Byrd Antarctic
Expedition.
The two unionists served as cine
photographers on the perilous voyage.
They are members of the Interna-
tional Alliance of Theatrical Stage
Employees and Motion Picture Ma
chine Operators.
Joe" Rucker was presented ring
by his fellow trade unionists at a
meeting of Local $50 in this city, and
Van der Veer was similarly honored
in New York. President Canavan, Of
the international, made the presenta-
ton in the latter event.

classes in English studies for for
eigners, which begin on Monday,
September 29.
These English classes are open to
all foreigners, whether members of
the Fenmont Club or not, and will
be free. They will be held on Mon
day and Thursday evenings at $50
o'clock, and will be conducted by
Judge of the Municipal Court AL
phonse j. Pater and Jack Connaugh-
ton.
Here is wonderful opportunity
for non-speaking and non-reading of
English foreigners to acquire knowl-
edge of the English language free of
cost, something that will go far to
remove the drabness of ordinary
everyday life. Anyone reading this
article, and knowing Of someone who
could benefit thereby, should pass the
information along where it will do
the most good.

POSTAL WORKER
Drops Hint For Team Work
in Cabinet

Washington.-The president should
apply his efficiency ability to his cab
met members who are travelling in
opposite directions, suggests Thomas
F. Flaherty, secretary-treasurer Ma
tional Federation of Post Office
Clerks.
Secretary of Labor Davis constant
ly drives home to private employers
the need for reducing working hours
as an aid to increasing employment
and restoring business conditions.
"In sharp contrast" said Mr..
Flaherty, 1--WE find Postmaster Gen.
eral Brown instituting policies that
are calculated to further upset trou-
bled economic conditions. The Brown
policy of refusing to fill vacancies
has deprived thousands of postal
wage earners of steady employment.
The methods of his survey inspectors
are all directed toward reducing the
number of employees. To say that no
regular postal employe has been
thrown out of work as a result of
these surveys is a misleading half
truth. The fact is that thousands of
substitutes will be deprived of work
because of a curtailment in carrier
service and the consequent displace-
ment that follows.
Instead of following the Davis ad-
vice the postmaster general is doing
the opposite. He tried unsuccessfuliy
to increase the working hours of rural
carriers and he succeeded, tenn
porarily, in defeating the Kendall bill
that would reduce hours on Satur-
days for various groups of employees.
president Hoover should insist on
his cabinet members getting together
on this vital question If Mr.. Davis
is correct in his proposed remedies, it
is reasonable to ask that they be ap-
piled in the government largest
business establishment. On the other
hand, if longer hours and fewer jobs
ruthless economies always at the
expense of lowly subordinates-are
the solution of our troubles, the sec
retary of labor should be so informed
and told to forever hold his peace.

PROPHETS
Confused By Mass Produc-
ton, Says Akron Editor

Akron, Ohio" Experts, a year
ago, were telling us that labor-sav-
ing machinery mass production and
an enlarged consumer demand were
going to revolutionize the world and
lift everyone to better state" says
the Akron Beacon Journal.
'The soothsayers, prophets and
planners are now not so sure" says
this paper. Even the master minds
are perplexed and will need all their
ingenuity to restore to the nation the
safe and sane prosperity that was
lost when it was persuaded to go upon
the joy ride of over production, super
efficiency, giant mergers and labor
saving energies.
an striving to enlarge or monopo-
lize the so-called foreign market,
which is in relation to 10 per cent
to the total, the welfare of the 80 per
cent home market has been neglected.
More than ten billions of Amer
lean capital has been invested in
plants outside of the United States to
forward the reach for a mythical for
eign market. If these billions had
been invested in factories and en-
ployment opportunities at home they
would now be returning in steady
stream of profit to their owners and
with the better return of assured jobs
to the millions who need them"

HOME MARKET
OF Nation Rests on High
Wages, Says John
P. Frey

New York.-"If power and machin-
cry are to be beneficial to national
prosperity, the public's power to con-
sumo must be proportionately increas-.
ed" said John P Frey, secretary
treasurer metal trades department,
A. F. of L., in a leading article pub
lished in the Magazine of Wall
Street.
Mr.. Frey ignored the social and
humanitarian values of high wages
and spoke in the dollars -and-cents
language of the M. w. SIS clientile
The home market, he said, was the
best investment for the capitalist, and
the foreign market represented mot
over 5 per cent of our manufactured
product, and our exports are contin-
ually meeting with more active re-
sistance. There are convincing rea-
sons for believing that at it's best
our future export of manufactured
goods will represent but small frac-
tion of our total production.
"a doubled wage rate over that
paid few years ago has been fol-
lowed in many instances by trebled
and quadrupled production per capita.
In some instances the output per
workman has increased 1000 per cent
and more. 1t is largely because of
these new conditions in production
that we cannot consider the question
of wages from the viewpoint of a few
years ago"
We have not arrived at the point
where automatic machinery and
scientific processes will no longer be
developed, said Mr.. Frey, who de-
clared that "we cannot stimulate in
dustly's capacity to produce by re-
ducing wages; and through this
action, limiting the wage earner's in

quarters state that in order to lessen
the Southward movement of unem-
ployed transients during the coming
fall and winter, the Salvation Army
is issuing in each city and town
where it operates warning to these
people to "stay at home"
Speaking directly of the local work
Commander Lanai says that this
summer the unit here is caring for
twice as many transients as are usu-
ally accommodated during this sea
son, and of course with the approach
of winter the number will substan-
TALLY increase. Those applying now
for assistance, and who are able to
work, are given places at the wood
pile, and nearly all show willing
ness thus to help themselves, says
Commander Lanai.
While the local unit is doing the
best it can to help all applicants for
aid, Commander LANAI hopes that the
warning from national headquarters
will keep at home at least portion
of the unemployed in Northern indus
trial centers who otherwise would
drift South as winter comes on.

WHAT NEXT?

BY running the great generators
that furnish electric power to the
world in an atmosphere of hydrogen
gas, engineers of the future will be
able to get 25 per cent higher ca
pacities than in the largest machines
now cooled by air. Small inclosed
generators have already been run in
the light infammable gas, according
to NJ. A. Savage, member of the
American group at the recent world
power conference at Berlin. The ex-
perience obtained in these expert
ments has taught engineers how to
apply the gas even to the largest
power units.

Public School Whippinqs

An Elyria co. school teacher faces a court charge Of
assault ana battery because she whipped q school girl in
her class; and the girls parents are refusing to send their
children to school until the case Is disposed of.
This sort of thing pops up every 50 often. at one place
or another. It very likely would have astounded our
grandparents. who could not conceive Of a school func-
tioning without a good supply Of birch rods; and yet,
despite the old adage about the rod and the child, public
sentiment no longer supports corporal punishment as
strongly as It once did.
When . parent has to resort to whipping q child to
get obedience It generally means that there Is something
wrong with the parents. The same Is not quite true Of
school teachers, since they fall heir to problems that arise
out Of the pupils faulty home training. Nevertheless, we
are slowly working away from the idea Of schcol-room
whipping, and 1t Is just Is well.

Character as Loan Collateral

One Of the amazing features Of banking Is the extent
to which character loans have attained in New York,
where the worlds biggest bank. the $2.oooy0oo.ooo Ma
ttcnal City. has gonE into the experiment Of making ex-
tensions Of credit from 500 to $1,000 without collateral,
in cases where working people are pressed for cash to
tide over needs.
These loans totaied 100000 last year. It was the
first year Of tho experiment and proved 4 reassuring test
Of the honesty Of the plain and poor, for losses were
negligible. More than $1,000 antilles were aided.
Sample instances Of how the loans were used show that
many hard-up borrowers were rescued from the clutches
Of loan sharks or they financed surgical operations and
in one case permitted Z waitress the means Of bringing
her brother from Germany. A third Of the loans were
made for medical and dental service; is per cent were
for payment Of debts; II per cent for home conveniences;
8 per cent for payments on homes: s per cent for educa-
ton.
All Of this was splendid. Besides, the experiment was
good business. as business done with people Of character
and honor, though not well of In the worlds goods, al
ways is. In fact, character often stands behind COL
lateral, and now 1t has proved itself a very desirable
form of collateral In itself.
In the old and simple life days 1t occupied that place
in business confidence, Is Is illustrated by an old
Pennsylvania German legend Of the making Of q proui-
sorry note by two farmers. When it was made, the ques-
ton Of who was to retain It CAM up. The lender pro-
posed that the borrower keep 1t. then he would be sure
to know when 1t was due. There are still many people
as ~trustful, or to be trusted, Is that, though the world
has become more familiar than then with business prac-
ticcs.

Flapper's Day in Britain

When America gave women the vote In 1870 Il placed
them Immediately upon . basis Of electoral equality
with men. The British were earlier in adopting womens
suffrage but more cautious in their method. Instead Of
going the full distance with acknowledgements In 1918. the
British parliament restricted the right of women to vote
to those who were more than 30 years Old. There WAS
no sound reason Tor the discrimination except native
English conservatism. which perhaps n all the reason
necessary.
But It was from the start inevitable that sooner Of
later the fun franchise would BE- extended to women as
to man. Perceiving that the party which took the step
might hope to profit politically BY gaining the gratitude
