RADIO. A RED HOT ISSUE!

Those looking for big issues can
add radio to the list.
1t would be difficult to find many
issues that are in the long run more
important.
The present federal radio commits
sion is doing everything in its power
to make radio a bigger and bigger
issue.
1t is no exaggeration to say that
the strange reversal of itself in the
case of Labor Station VIGIL, Chi
cago, last week, is of scandalous pro-
portions. The federal radio commits
sion has no appetite for labor's just
claims to its place in the radio field,
and it is high time that some potent
authority hauled the commission over
the Goals.
In the course of its high power
hearings one Of the commissioners in
formed an attorney that the commits
sion knew all he could tell them, and
he could go ahead and talk if he
wanted to. Thus informed that his
case was hopeless he confessed his
hesitancy to make a statement,
whereupon he was informed you can
do just as you please about that"
Autocrats on a high bench, are
these gentlemen of the radio commits
sion. Potentates, decorated with a
title and power. Monarchs of vast
domain. And if it continues the peo-
pie will be shorn completely of their
rights in radio.
More and more the commission
eases the way toward complete estab-
lishment of vested rights-property
rights-in the air, though the law
says nay. More and more the big
corporations and the courts, like
wise, edge up toward establishment
of property rights in the air
And it is time the people raised
such clamor as to shake the walls
of radios little Jericho in Washing
ton.

FRIDAY, MAY l, 1881
THEY GAVE MORE"

At the beginning of the Hamilton
1881 Community Chest drive the call
went forth "The Need is Greater
Give More" and the people of Ham
ilton responded, responded nobly,
generously, with the result that the
Chest is again filled and the various
deserving agencies for relief and
character building in the city can con-
tinue on with the good work they
have performed in the past.
With $4,000 more asked for than
ever before in the history of the
Chest, big job faced the workers
on the eve of the drive, but failure
never entered their minds. And "she"
went over-despite the few pessi-
mists who threw up their hands. in
holy horror when told the amount to
be asked for-and said, ''It can't be
done" But Hamilton, as always when
called upon in times of distress and
need, came through, and the job is
finished
And everyone connected, in the
least, with the drive, from top to
bottom, is deserving of much credit
and they are to be commended for
their tireless efforts in behalf of the
welfare of those less fortunate
Every worker is to be congratulated
upon the fine success of the drive.
Many who gave in previous cam
paigns are themselves in need this
year and of course could not give
much to their regret. At that, with
so much unemployment as exists to-
day, the showing of the employees
group was indeed gratifying
than $4,000 coming from this group.
Those working know the need is
greater this year, and they dug lit
tie deeper in answer to the call, just
as they can always be counted upon
to do.
Campaign Chairman P P. Boil is
slated for the same job next year
without opposition, and all his asst
ants as well.

business, like the theater, could not
function without the services of
women.
In the recent report of the director
of the census bureau, the question lis
seriously raised whether women will
compete by initiating mans way In
business and professions, or will she
introduce methods of her own, which
are different? VIII she revolutionize
business and politics?" This is very
interesting speculation.
Another reason why women are well
coined in industry is that her wage
Is in many cases much lower than her
brothers.. Just why this is so remains
a question of justice. If she does the
same work with the same degree Of
satisfaction to her employer, why
should she receive less pay? Why
discriminate? When a sufficiently
large number of women are employed
to make organization possible, perhaps
such discrimination will no longer be
possible.
Some interesting problems have
arisen as the result of the employ
ment of women in industry? What ef-
feet will it have upon society? VIII 1t
tend to destroy the home? win 1t
result in fewer marriages or more di-
vorces? VIII the condition ever arise

WISE MEN?
big rake-o off

Arthur Brisbane, the we'll known
editorial writer, speaking of propos-
ed wage cuts, says:
Wise men who meet at directors
meeting ask each other: What do
you think about Hquidating wages ?"
''Liquidating means cutting down
The question is superfuous, for wages
are being liquidated rapidly now. A
man who put up building for this
writer a year ago offered to put up
another like it for much less, "be-
cause | can hire for Sc day union
workers to whom | paid $12 year
ago. And many are hiring men to
work hard for thirty cents an hour.
There is something for men of in
fiuence to think about, before urging
wage reductions Every dollar cut
from the top of the wage scale will
come out of industries with big stock
issues. However little you pay, the
men must eat. But they are not oblig-
ed to buy automobiles, radio sets.

Dor power. Talk about dictator and
excuses to the effect that we suffer
only in common with all the world
are twaddle, nonsense and drivel-
if not worse.
Why can we not have sense? And
why can we not use the methods of
democracy in applying those meas
ures of regulation and control that
will put permanent prosperity into
the homes of the masses of our peo-
pie? One reason is that too many
people are looking in some other
direction, hoping for magic, or fear
ing that something genuine will be
accomplished, which would disturb the
status quo of those that now get the
big rake-off.

WHY NOT TRY DEMOCRACY?

A bright and shining magazine
editor, in a national radio program
during the week, demanded national
movement to draft Owen D Young,
Of General Electric, as a sort of eco
nomic dictator "to get us out of this
depression"
Straight thinking seems difficult.
Why a dictator? Why not expansion
of democracy? Is our faith in de-
mocracy only one-legged?
But little less stupid was remark
by julius Klein, assistant secretary
of commerce, over the same network
at almost the same time. Speaking
Of the depression and when we shall
get out of its tolls, he said, "We
must remember that this depression
is worldwide"
To great many persons DR.. Klein
is almost an oracle. Such remarks
tempt the question: Why"
The United States could have been
and can be prosperous, of and by
itself, out of it's own wealth and la

which advice pours into the mails day
by day, going to those that pay for 1T.
Lower wages are inevitable" he
tells the wide world.
That's Babson. Let it be remem-
bered, even unto the fourth and fifth
generation!
And there ought to be some power
somewhere able to require an expla-
nation as to how and why man so
minded can call himself an econo-
mist and get away with it.
Turning aside for moment, let US
pay attention to the reports that
union men are rebating part of their
pay, for the sake of getting work.
Back handed wage cuts are reported.
These reports may be true. I'm
doubtedly in some cases they are.
1t is not unnatural. There is no
use expecting the impossible.
AS a matter of fact, many openly
regard this more or less secret
method as better than open accept
ance of reductions, which cannot be
tolerated.
The rebate can be stopped 1t is
not on record. The official scale re-
mains. AS long as that stands ground
has not been lost definitely.
The thing that is rotten in this
situation is the urge to wage reduc-
ton from men like Babson-and the
boob economics that come from men
like Wiggin. Put pin in such things
and keep it there Forget not!

Cherry
+" Where with our
roe Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things. sometimes pre-
foundly, sometimes Hippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

There is grave doubt as to whether
Nero fiddled while Rome burned. and
perhaps Mr.. Albert H. Wiggin isn't
playing the violin either, just now.
But Rome did burn and Nero didn't
stop the fire at any rate.
If Nero did actually pour out the
strains of some good old Roman pre-
war music, he did no worse than is
being done by Mr.. Wiggin and such
other banking men as Rome C.
Stephenson.
For these bankers are all set to de-
stroy the foundations of national
well-being. They are doing what they
can, by striking at wage standards, to
make crippled economic system
limp the more painfully and visibly.
Perhaps some future historian,
getting his allegory straighter than
his detail, will write
while the United States shook and
shivered in the desperation of ter
rifle economic crisis, Mr.. Albert FL.
Wiggin, one of the gilded Neros of
the time, climbed out upon the para
pet of his banking building and on his
violin sought to display his joy by
playing with much zest the then pop
ular tune, 4 want my gold when /
want it,"
Getting into reverse again and re-
turning to allegory, it may be that
bankers, such as Mr.. Wiggin, tempted
as was Joseph, but in different field
of action, are not lacking in desire,
and so yield TO the temper who
beckons them to seek more power.
The glamor of the golden Mrs.
Potiphar beckons them and they are
willing enough to risk the safety of
the whole world about them.
Always there have been tempta-
tions to cause men to lose their senses
and sometimes their heads.
However, in every field and to all
men there comes an end of orgiastic
conduct, and the bankers will either
forsake greed or lose their graft.
But now comes the question of
whether men like Wiggin are, from
the economists standpoint, or the
workers standpoint, any worse than
men like Babson, once called Bah
bling Babson by the late Samuel
Gompers.
Babson is quoted as having said: 81
believe that the resistance that or
ganized and unorganized labor is
making against a readjustment of
wage scales is distinctly retarding a
return to prosperity"
Now that's Babsonism. Babson is
one of the most expensive financial
advisers in the United States. He
maintains a great establishment from

FIGURES CAN FOOL
If NOT ANALYZED

Boston.-An increase of seven
tenths of l per cent in employment
in the wholesale and retail trade in
this state is reported by the depart
ment of labor and industries. The
fact is heralded by newspapers as
More Work in Massachusetts"
An increase of one-tenth of | per
cent in the aggregate weekly payroll
is also reported.
When analyzed these figures show
that a seven-tenths of l per cent gain
in employment means seven addi-
tional workers for every 1000 en-
ployed.
The increase of one-tenth of l per
cent in the payroll means that an
additional 81 for every $1,000 has
been paid to workers.

WAGES A MINOR FACTOR

1t is agreed that low wages rates
will mean more jobs, and that the
lowered cost of living will make a
less cash wage equal in real pay to
the higher money pay of prosperous
times.
On the other hand, the extreme
mechanization of industry in this
country has given US many indus
tries where the rate of wages is but
minor factor in labor costs.
Continuous advance of mechanical
ton, with it's reduction of employ
ment, ought to mean higher wages
and increased consumption.

prevent the passing exigencies of the
period from depriving the worker of
