it was improvised, in the form OF

they were now living. Their father

Time for Action

Continued large scale unemployment and wage cuts
have created a serious situation which the Hoover ad
nninistrtaion no longer can evade.
The administrations efforts of the last eighteen
months have failed to check the depression. The
federal construction program has proved only minor
benefit. Congress adjourned with the idea that
business men and the President could find the solu-
ton But conditions got better.
Therefore, and more drastic action by the
government is called for.
The American Federation of Labor now threatens
strikes to stop the wage cuts, which employers are
making in defiance OF their agreement with the White
House.
The American Legion just has petitioned the Pres
ident to call nonpolitical conference to deal with
national unemployment
Today Senator La Toilette, in the name Of the
progressive conference requested the President to eau
special session Of congress Immediately to provide
federal aid through increased construction program
or direct federal appropriations to state and municipal
relief agencies

A Rold Move

The most daring move yet made in all the de-
preston described today in other columns Of this
newspaper
1t is the proposal that railroads consider
ing to ncrease their freight rates horizontally the
claim that such increase will kill the economic Jonah
and start us back to better times.
The key to their contention is found in their dec
laration that the roads are the country's biggest
single customer That for example in normal times
they purchase % per cent of the soft COAL 10 cent
of the fuel OIL II per cent OF the iron and Steel 20
per cent Of the timber and on that they practically
are out of the market now and that the rate increase
would put them back with both feet thereby stnulat
ing production and employment in such great lines
as those mentioned. Furthermore, that the action
would assure maintenance of the wage standard.
Their proposal goes contrary to the whole trend
today, which is toward lower rather than higher
COSTS They Cefend it on the ground that they are
governmentally regulated institution whose duty it
Is to maintain for the nation adequate Transports
ton system; that as such they entitled to ade-
Quate revenue for such maintenance; and that such
increase in revenues they would get from the raise
could not because they regulated governmentally
be boarded but must be spent in operation. main
tenance, and extensions.
At a time when all other prices tend downward,
when dehation is raging through industry with the
roads in substance say:
What this country needs now isn't more defa-
tion but a healthy shot of imitation That's what
we propose to give"
Never was the American mind more puzzled than
now Never were the economic authorities bafied.
In time OF intense liquidation. the one most COM
plete job Of liquidation has been the liquidation Of
the expert.
A universal craving for somebody to do something
spectacular something that will bring action, charac-
terizes present public feeling.
Certainly this much can be said for the railway
proposal: 1t bears all the earmarks OF the spectacu

ton.

No Illusions Held

NOTHING but loss of historical
IN perspective can explain the
hysteria over Russia, or the present
depression.
Indeed, we have been in a state
bordering on Mysteries ever since
the World war broke out.
BY ignoring the past, we had
worked ourselves into frame of mind
where we believed such an occur
renee was impossible.
Since civilization was a mere
matter Of autos, bobbed hair, jazz
and other innovations, nothing
counted before 1880.
Engineers know better, for they
deal with irnmutable principles and
inflexible laws.
The same is true of all men whose
trades or professions are in any
way based on science.
Doctors have no illusionment
about the race continuing without
birth, sickness and death, accord
ing to the same old law, which
means wooing, marrying, quarrel
ing, divorcing and marrying again.
Freud voiced no idle fancy when
he suggested that the provocative
instinct is the main source of human
hopes, fears, aspirations, mistakes
and achievements.

Adding Insult to Injury

The breakdown Of union organization among the
soft coal of west Virginia has brought hard
ship to thousands Of honest and frugal workers.
The miners at the utter mercy of the en-
ployers. They have uncertain work and low wages
are paid That is bad enough, but there is another
form Of exploitation which enables the mine owners
to get the miners going and coming. The latter are
compelled buy their goods at company stores, which
charge much more than independent stores in the
community
The Kelly Greek Coal Company at Ward, near
Charleston, W. Va, discharged number of employees
recently for trading outside the company stores. On
the day of the discharges Hugh TaIey of Brookwood
Labor college made a comparison of the prices
charged In the Kelly store and in Sheds store the
independent competitor. Labor's News publishes the
result as follows:
