Short Circuiting Electrical
Workers

Brother" Breach, the boss CRATER of the I.
BEW. international Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers. Local 3, Of New York, is trying to
put over new barefaces swndle. It's habit
with him. And with his gang
The new gag is plan for an "Unemploy-
ment Allowance Fund" but don't get the idea
that Breach proposes that the bosses should
pay. Not on your life!
His plan is that journeymen and helpers pay
SO on all wages earned" into fund which
"can only be used for unemployment relief
That last would make anyone, who knows
Breach, smoker. Some time ago. when IS men
out of the several thousand in Local 3 struck
on some small job, Breach used this as an ex-
cuse to demand $50 assessment each from
all the other thousands.
Now you know why these A. F. of L. off,
Gals can move in high society and buy U. s.
Steel Stock, ETC. But about this "Unenploy-
ment Fund"-Broach promises, no, guarantees
not less than $40 per week" to journeynen and
SIS per week to fourth year helpers young
ster has to "help" about forty years, apparently,
to become a journeyman in this outfit.
The joke of all this is: About IS .per cent
of Local 3's members are entirely out of work,
about 30Z are working only part time. and
only about so (who are the inside gang that
Breach "takes care of" to use against the rank
and file) have steady work.
These rank and filters have figured out that
SO tax against the wages of those who are
working, if collected, there would be enough to
allow only about IS cents week each to the
wholly unemployed, and not any $40 per week.
Thus the promises of Broach's gang are pure
hokum.
But in order to get the members to swallow
this hokum, Breach promises that II they
adopt the plan df they don't vote for it,
Breach will count their votes for it anyhowtJ,
1--WE can assure you at this time that the EN-
ployers will return to the five-day week as per
the agreement with the employers and this
Local Union"
That's interesting Why. if there was
sacred" agreement, did the bosses not abide
by it? Wasn't one Of the boasts of the offisdals
"five day week" agreement? The answer is that
it was violated by the joint action Of the Of
ficials and the Bosses who agreed on Hoovers
famous "stagger" plan with the idea that those
employed should work four days week, and
the other day would be given to the jobless. 3.
But the bosses speed them up for four DAYS
and don't give out any work to anybody on
the fifth. So even this victory" of -four
day week. don't mean anything except wage
cut for the workers who do Worthwhile the
unemployed still starve.
This unemployed fund.- is just as shameless
swindle intended deliberately to squelch the
demand for real unemployment insurance BY
the workers--to short circuit their demand. save
the bosses money, make a new source Of graft

NEW OIL IN EAST TEXAS
is GLUTTING MARKET
Special Dispatch to The Star.

epecisl Dispatch TO The Star.
TULSA, Okla, April ia steadily
increasing abundance of new oil in the
East Texas fields is. Cutting the oil
market Of that area. The bringing in
OF new gells daily, swelling the offer
lngs from wells with an already estab-
hshed production, is prompting the
operators 10 make concessions in prices
AS a result two of the small BUYERS
posted prices of 20 cents a barrel dur
ing the latter part Of the week. These
two purchasers have been buying oil
on contract from IS to As cents a bar
rel previously. Their combined pur-
chases are about IL per cent of the
fields output.
The question of price appears to en-
ter less into the making of contracts
for the purchase and sale of oil in
East Texas than the matter of obtain
ing an outlet for the production. The
finding of large production in the new
wells has taxed the limited demand in
this area. The large buyers of such
caliber as Humble, Gulf, Texas, Mag
nolia and Standard of Indiana have
not yet entered the market for oil in
the new district; consequently the only
demand is from independent refners.

SAYS FOREIGN LOANS
WILL AID RECOVERY
Bank Official Suggests Method Of
Putting End to Bust
ness Slumps.
speeiaI DISPATCH to The star.

BOSTON, April 13-Greatly increas-
ed foreign financing by the United
States and France are necessary to
bring about return to normal BUSH
ness conditions, according to George e.
Pierce. vice president and head of the
foreign department of the National
ShaWmut Bank, who returned to BoS-
ton last week from two-month tour
OF the banks European connections.
Somewhat greater activity in Ameri-
can financial issues" said Mr.. Pierce.
has inspired the hope that American
capital will be available for foreign
loans at a reasonably early date. In
many European countries no early re-
turn to normal business conditions
seems possible until the very pressing
need OF intermediate and long-term
credits has been met. Such develop
ment would doubtless have a stimulat-
ing effect in remedying business stag
nation which continues acute
5 industrial depression is very severe
In Germany, but the strength of the
Bruening ministry and its ability to
pass its financial reform program has
restored confidence, both internally and
externally. Lack of adequate long-term
credit facilities is a great handicap to
German recovery today, and it is their
hope that foreign countries, especially
SAAC OAhtC0 0bubSo dA1u xIdIkCc, may
soon see fit to increase their credits to
Germany.
French bankers now have q fine
opportunity to play a more important
role in international finance. Under the
auspices of the Bank of France, a new
French acceptance bank was organized
in Paris year ago, and it has made a
successful start, notwithstanding the
TACT that the creation OF board bill
market in Paris has meet with some
obstacles. Special efforts are made also
to reopen the French market for foreign
loans; the government Is in favor of this
and has reduced the income tax on foreign
coupons from Is per cent to Is per
cent. A further reduction, however,
would be helpful if Paris is to be placed
on a competing basis with other in
vestment markets in Europe for foreign
loans"
Mr.. Pierce said that throughout Eu-
rope unemployment has reached record
breaking figures and has brought much
misery and discomfort. In spite of
this, he said, there has been coInpara-
lively little disorder, an excellent in
dication of the discipline and funda-
mentally sound qualities of the people.
Recent political developments in Eu-
rope, particularly the French-Italian
naval agreement. have been received
favorably, and should be of great as
sistance in bringing about a restoration
of general confidence upon which busi-
ness recovery is so dependent.

merely been sent to bed without his supper he could
have posed as a hero. But being spanked The glory
that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome aren't
any more obsolete than the hero that was Billy Jones
or Johnny Smith.
Perhaps the blows are given lightly. But that has
little to do with the case. 1t is the very fact that they
are given which humiliates and grieves the erstwhile gay,
brave victim.
This same principle applies to the older breakers of
graver laws. Punishment Is so much more personal when
it is done with a whipping machine. It makes the one
who is being punished feel like a culprit instead of a BAN
dit king.
Many claim that the very fact that whipping breaks
the spirit of a person Is proof enough that there should
be a hands-off ruling. A spirit that rides rough shod
over others rights and privileges certainly needs to be
curbed. II some all-wise way of leading 1t into useful
channels, without the whipping post humiliation, could
be found no one would object.
But if 1t can't, a few strokes of a paddle, if they will
prevent the murder Of dozens of respectable, useful citi-
zens, really can't be such a bad thing.
Besides, no one ever goes to a woodshed unless he has
broken a rule. If whipping is SO dreadful it will be a
mighty good ounce of prevention.
And the spanked parties will have the consolation of
knowing that it really is hurting the state worse to take
that means of bringing them back in step than it is the
victims.
For we don't want to go backward again. We would
much rather reason with the erring ones. But they
won't listen.

On the Right Track
lValleY CitY Tlmes-Record

VALLEY City Tlmes-Record)
Senator F. E. Ployhar, of Barnes county; Senator
Murphy, of Walsh county; and Senator Cain, of Stark
county, are on the right track and have introduced a
very meritorious bill in the senate which should become
a law.
It requires more signatures to petitions before a law
can be referred or initiated than are required in our
present law. Under this bill 10000 would be necessary
to initiate a measure or constitutional amendment and
1t would require 10000 signers to refer a bill passed by
the legislature. Emergency laws would remain until voted
upon by the electors and could not be suspended by
petitions as at present. Such a bill could be submitted
to the electors after filing 10000 names on petitions.
Under the present law 10000 are sufficient to initiate
a measure while 1000 are required to refer a law enacted
by the legislature. To bring out a special election on a
measure containing an emergency clause petitions with
$4,000 names are required. For initiating a constitu-
tional amendment 10000 signatures are necessary.
It seems to us that this is a worthy measure. Under
citizen with a pet peeve or a capitol removal scheme in
his mind can go out and get 10000 signers and compel
the people of the state to bear the expense of a special
election. just to crafty some persons whim. Politicians
not satisfied with a certain law can do the same thing.
II this new measure passes it is going to make 1t
harder to do these things and it is going to stop a lot
of unnecessary expense that is now entailed by the initia-
tive and referendum. People are going to slow up on
signing petitions. We are now going through this ordeal
today on the capitol removal question. Scheming
politicians and those who want to profit through a
disastrous fire to the state, are trying to force the re-
moval of the capitol on the people Of the state at big
expense and no Justification. This new bill will at least
make it necessary to get nearly one-third of the voters
on the petitions before a special election can be forced
on the taxpayers. We are strong for this bill.

@. Who was the Indian who
leaped from a cliff when about to be
captured? G. M.
A. There is a legend of New Eng
land concerning an Indian named
Joe English, whose real name was
Merruwacomet. He was friendly to
the colonists and was used as a guide
for scouting purposes. While hunt
ing he was surprised by hostile In
dianS and retreated, his pursuerS fol-
lowing him. Finally he came to a small
mountain, perhaps a little less than
a thousand feet high, on which there
was a sharp precipice. The Indians
believed that they had caught Joe
English. but as they were about to
capture him. he leaped over the
precipice and disappeared. His pur-
suers naturally thought that he was
dead. but in reality he had merely
jumped to a ledge where he re-
NAMED hidden until his pursuerS left.
At night he returned to the English
fort at Old D%unstable. The incident
occurred in Vermont.
@. How long has the new rat pow
der recommended by the Department
of Agriculture been on the market?
L. T.
A. Red : squill powder was placed
on the American market in 1926. It
has been found efficacious and has
the added recommendation of being
relatively harmless to human beings
and domestic animals.
@. Would a tank full of COM
pressed air be more buoyant than a
tank containing air at normal pres
sure? H. B.
A. Air has weight. When air Is
compressed the weight is increased.
Filling a tank with compressed air,
makes it heavier and less buoyant.
