The sky line is not all cloudy, by any
means. 1t can discover some indus
trial Improvement and it can and no
doubt will point with deep satisfac-
tion to such achievements as the re-
Gently renewed contract between Chi
cago elevated line employees and en-
ployers, in which wage scales were
held intact.
The thing the council is unques-
tionably driving at in its determined
reiteration of labor's wage philosophy
is the attempted leadership of certain
great banking houses which continue
to seek to impress wage-cutting re-
quirements on industrial houses COM
ing under their influence.
There has been some let-up of
public declarations for wage-cutting,
said President Green, "but banks can
seek to enforce wage cuts without
making any public pronouncements at
all They can and do simply require
the balance sheets of corporations
asking for loans and they can and do
point to wages in those reports and
demand that wages be cut"

Labor Out to Win Modification
Of Dry Act in Coming Congress

Our inquiries have proven conclu-
sively that while modification is
needed for the double purpose of
righting a social and constitutional
wrong, it is needed but little less as
means of putting public treasures
throughout the country on solvent
basis and on basis to perform the
work that is still to be demanded Of
them.
Modification is justified on every
ground, and on no ground is it more
justified than on the ground of need
ed, justifiable and proper revenues to
public treasures. In the absence of
this proper revenue tax burdens have
grown enormously and still deficits
are the order of the day. Unemploy-
ment has eaten away the returns from
taxes until at last the stern realities
of the situation command return to
sensible and sane considerations"

By C. S. GARRISON

Indianapolis, Ind. (ILNS)-Riots
and disorders engineered by COM
munists in various soft coal districts,
especially in Pennsylvania, West Vir-
ginia and Ohio, have focused the at
tention of the country on coal oper-
ators of those states, who have been
playing with fire these many months
and thereby endangering their own
industry.
The killing and wounding of scores
of persons in these riots; the at
tempted murder of Patrick Pagan,
president of the Pittsburgh district
of the United Mine Workers; sabot-
age and the disruption Of business in
many communities, as result of the
National Miners Union (strictly a
communist outfit has caused news
papers in these districts to call on
the United Mine Workers to save the
situation by organizing the miners as
they were once organized.
Touching on the situation in Pitts
burgh, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
said editorially: From the outset
the United Mine Workers of America
have been commended for the orderly
manner in which they have been seek
ing to re-establish their organization
in this district. At the same time a
tolerant attitude was shown toward
the radical element of the miners
with protests against any show OF
abuse of official authority in dealing
with them (. The disposition of the
public to be fair has been abused.
Tolerance has been mistaken for
weakness Murder and melting
to riot must be treated for what they
are. Pure hoodlinism must be smash
ed. There can be no tolerance of a
condition in which human beings are
waylaid and shot down as if they
were animals"
Reds Bar Lewis Speech
At West Frankfort, H., a bowling
mob of so-called radicals refused to
permit President Lewis of the United
Mine Workers to speak, although he
stood facing the hostile crowd fol
more than an hour. A communist or
ganizer and agitator had been in West
Frankfort for several weeks and the
un-American demonstration was car
ried out in true communist fashion.
Union officials of the mine workers
point out that if the non-union coal
operators have any foresight what.

from these riots and disorders. The

Study of Bread Lines
Staged in Baltimore

Baltimore, Md-Bread lines as a
form of unemployment relief are be
ing investigated by the bread line
committee of Baltimore Council of
Social Agencies.
"The present sharply accentuated
economic depression has brought in
its wake bread lines in most of the
large cities" said Harry Greenstein,
chairman Of the committee. "Balti-
more has been rather free of this
situation We have had certain
number of bread lines which have
actually operated in Baltimore during
the past year, and it is hoped that
this study will bring to light all the
facts with regard to them The COM
mittee also hopes to be able to make
recommendation with regard to
whether there is need in Baltimore
for bread lines, and, if so, what, if
any, supervision should be given"

Wages Held Biggest Labor
Issue in Coming Months
Industry Must Shoulder Responsibility for Remedying
Unemployment Situation, A. F. of L. Executive
Council Declares.

Atlantic City, NJ J. (ILNS)-"Main-
tain wages and buying power" will
be the fighting slogan of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor through the
coming months.
The executive council, in session
here preparing the annual report for
submission to the coming Vancouver
convention, believes no other issue ap-
proaches in Importance the issue of
wage maintenance.
And the council looks 20 industry
not to the state-to bring the nation
out of the industrial tangle That is
not to indicate that the council be-
lieves the state has no proper func-
tions to perform, for that is not the
case. But the council does not believe
that the primary responsibility for
remedy rests squarely upon industry.
Among the things the councils
position means is that the council
does not favor state unemployment
insurance and it does not favor a
dole of any kind.
Legislative Campaign Possible
Industry operates under certain
social sanctions" said President
Green to international Labor News
Service, explaining this attitude. "If
industry operates under social sane
tions it must accept social response
bilities and discharge those response
bilities properly" President Green
indicated strongly that labor may en-
gage in a legislative campaign to
write new provisions into incorpora-
ton laws, which constitute the So
cial sanctions under which corpora
tions operate.
1t was clearly indicated by some
council members that, in the absence
of clear evidence of an abandonment
of wage-cutting policies by certain
large corporations and banking insti-
tutions declarations and actions much
more emphatic than any yet made OF
taken may be forthcoming. The
meaning of this is that this council
is militantly determined that wage
levels must be maintained, not solely
as matter of the welfare of work
ers, but as an absolutely necessar!
social measure for the restoration Of
national prosperity.
Many Bright Spots Seen
The council made it clear that many
employers have co-operated fully il
maintaining wages. 1t has many
bright spots to which it can point

City JObless Relief
Prevents Starvation

Philadelphia.-Over $4,000 orders
for food and milk were distributed to
needy families in the first two weeks
of its existence by the Philadelphia
Bureau of Unemployment Relief.
The bureau declares the issue of food
and milk orders is necessary to save
many from suffering and possible
starvation.
The bureau finds no improvement
in the unemployment situation and
predicts that community relief work
will have to be very much expanded
during the coming winter. The relief
work of the bureau is financed by a
$3,OO0,O00 municipal bond issue.

Terrible Conditions Found

Conditions in the mine fields around
Wheeling, w. Va, were investigated
by a committee of citizens of that
city who found the situation terrible
although the committee (made up OF
members of the city counciD were
refused admittance to the bull pen al
the Paisley mine at Elm Grove. How.
ever, number of miners were inter.
viewed by members of the committee
at the entrance of the pen as they
came out from work. Carl DuBarry

National Committee Fighting Volstead Law Tells
A. F. Of L. Change Would Be Most Effec-
tive Measure For Relieving Unemployment
Situation This Winter.

Atlantic City (ILNS)-Determina-
tion to win modification of the Vol
stead act in the coming session of
congress is expressed in a detailed
report just submitted to the execu-
tive council of the American Fedora
tion of Labor by labor's national
committee for modification of the
Volstead act, of which Matthew Woll
is chairman and |. NJ Ornburn, sec
retary-treasurer.
"We are determined" says the re-
port, "that no effort shall be spared
to secure modification in the coming
session of congress and we hope to so
press the issue as to secure for it
consideration during the first weeks
of the session.
GAS you know, we are not partisan
to political parties in any sense of the
word, but we are not blind to parti-
san political events. 1t is our belief
that the support just announced for
wet republican candidate in the
Cincinnati, O., district by the presi-
dent and the republican national COM
mittee is highly significant of a
change of heart in most important
places. In our opinion this breaking
down of precedent is destined to go
much further and to have material
effect upon the minds of members of
congress, and also upon political
leaders who are not members of con-
gress, but whose advice is potent
among congressman.
Survey Now Under Way
eve are just now in the midst of a
survey to determine, as far as posi-
/ BILE, the immediate economic effect of
modification. That survey is yet in
its early stages, but we are able to
report at this time and without wait
ing for anything like complete re-
turns, that no measure that can posi-
| bly, be taken this winter would sc
quickly and so thoroughly relieve un-
employment. The material gathered
! by this survey will be presented fol
your consideration as soon as possible
and will be presented to every mem
ber of congress.
eve know that approximately one
half of the states and most of the
larger industrial cities have entirely
or almost exhausted their fnancia
resources and will be unable to care
for their unemployed this winter
either through employment or char
ity. We know that every indication
points to heavier unemployment this
winter than last winter And, bar
ring some enormous charity on the
part of the federal government, there
seems little hope for anything short
of vast destitution. No construc
tion program possible of execution
can relieve the situation sufficiently
Industry Must Act
''It is the opinion of this committee
that every means should be exertet
to the end that industry itself shoult
provide the sustenance required b!
our people. Industry and finance
through everything from maladmin
iStration TO actual malfeasance have
brought upon US this desperate con
dition. Relief through governmental
charity throws the burden of relic
upon the very ones who have beer
victims.

Dole Is Condemned


'Whatever drastic action may be
required this winter to provide honor
able sustenance for probable seven
million unemployed, we believe your
executive council will agree that the
United States must not be forced or
fooled into adoption of the dole, or
anything of that kind, whether by
that name or under some masquer-
ade. In our campaign we have con-
sistently held that the industrial
mechanism of the nation is RESPONSE
BILE for the condition and must be
accountable for the remedy-not
merely relief, but remedy.
"We are able to report to you that
we have perfected network of or
ganizations in every state. Every
State Federation of Labor, except
one, that has met this year has en-
dorsed our work, which we are con-
ducting under authority of your ex-
| ecutive council In that lone case no
action at all was taken. City central
| labor unions too numerous to recount
have formally endorsed our campaign
and are now assisting in creating a
great membership so that in the COM
/ ing months we may have in every city
and community an organized member
ship that will keep our objects be-
fore the people and before political
candidates. We shall, if possible, let
no foe escape. We have made plans
to have able representation appear
before the platform committees of
both major political conventions.
Public Treasures Depleted
"Our committee also has given
much attention to the matter of tax
alton and we call your attention to
the fact that while any other method
of alleviating the distress of unem-
| ployment must eat into the public
treasury at an alarming rate, relief
through modification of the Volstead
| act will at the same time turn money
1 into the public treasury and thus ac-
complish relief in two vital direc-
tions. We have discovered that public
treasures everywhere are depleted
from the strain already imposed
/ upon them, with bankruptcy immi-
nent in some cases.

eve realize that the only way
through which industrial relief
can be made operative on any
broad scale and with sufficient
speed is through modification of
the Volstead act.
mot only would a great social, eco
nomic and constitutional wrong be
righted by that means, not only would
there be a restoration of liberty and a
restitution to an outraged people, but
there would within a matter of days
be the beginning of a vast readjust-
ment throughout our economic struc-
ture. There would be a tremendous
spending of money, not in charity, but
for materials and in payment of
wages. Fully 60 industries would feel
the electric thrill of orders for ma
terials and equipment and through
there so reviving industries money
would be started on its way to gro
Gerry stores, to clothing stores, to
banks, to hardware stores, to mer.
chants of all kinds, for the necessities
of life.
