Debated Schools

Today the boys and girls who will deter
mine what society will be thirty years hence,
60 back to the school rooms.
They will feel to some extent, the effect
Of depression. For the schools are being de-
flated under the pressure Of big taxpayers
who find economy necessary.
Wages of teachers will be reduced There
will be fewer janitors There will be trim
ming Of expense for materials. There may be
a shorter school year.
The one place where there will be no re-
auctions in cost will be in the interest due on
debts. That charge remains stable.
The big deflation comes in the abandon
ment of the night and adult schools.
These schools were most important. They
gave hope to those compelled by misfortune
to leave school at an early age They served
more useful purpose than some Of the other
activities.
At the same time, the funds for library
work are curtailed and some branches may
be shut down. That means that those who
spend their enforced leisure in improving
their minds will be forced to other means of
filling in the idle hours.
The night school and the library must be
maintained, if not through public taxes, then
by volunteer organization that will work
without pay and carry on these enterprises.
The school board may find way to give
the use of school buildings for night schools
and as social centers. There are certainly
many men and women in this city who are
capable of conducting classes who would well
come the chance to work without pay in
order that those boys and girls who desire
more knowledge and education may not be
disappointed.
Is there not some leader in this city who
will take up this job of organizing these
forces?
If the school rooms are not available, the
churches might we'll open their doors for
community classes.
At no other time in history is the night
school so important People must find some
way to spend their time. There are many who
can not afford the price of ordinary and
usual forms of entertainment, to say nothing
of self improvement.
Here is a chance for some citizen to make
himself immortal by initiating the schools
back to their old standards. The night school
must be retained and can be. This is the day
to learn the meaning of cooperation.

hungry child


In days Of American industrys infancy, a group
Of Massachusetts, employers drew up a manifesto
against the labor unions that were bothering them
These workers. they declared, were banding ito the
dshonor of God, the scandal of the Scriptures and
the grief of divers of Gods people"
On Monday, some 100000 American unionists ceIe-
braed their annual Labor day in a much more hospit-
able atmosphere. The present hour is dark with mil
lions of workers families penniless and suffering But
labors more courageous leaders know that what has
been won for the masses in the past is as nothing to
what will be in the coming struggle for better
life
And in contrast with their early status of outlaws
American unions today are armed with measure
comforting upon them the dignity of governmental
approval and protection, the Norris-La Guarda act
that has been called 'Labors New Magma Charta"
The American Federation of Labor is only fifty
years old In this hafcentury its battles bitter and
often bloody have been fought chiefly for three SIM
pie ends-the right to organize better working cond-
tons and living wage. From now on the struggle
enters bigger and more difficult phase
Union labors front in this country may be said
to have five salients. These are:
l. An economic wage" This goes beyond the
mere minimum comfort standard The new wage
theory holds that industry itself in the machine age
Will SuIer unless Che workers, as lnduSryS chief
toners, paid real wages that increase with in
dustrys productivity.
3 Hours of labor to fit industry's capacity to hire
Realizing that after the depression millions will
remain jobess by reason of new Inventions the A. F.
of L. officially Endorses the ve-dsy week universal
six-hour day. it is claimed would put to work all the
"technologicaly unemployed"
g. National planning, Organized labor Endorses the
La Toilette bill for national planning council and
argues that, unless industry brings production and
consumption into proper harmony hard times will
recur.
4. Security reserves. Labor insists that industry
set aside of its profits protection of the work
ers against old age Sickness accidents and unem-
ployment.
5. share in management. The Amalgamated
Workers railway shopmen and other progressive
unions are working out systems of employe-nan
agement cooperation, with success.
But, above ALL labor will fight for the inalienable
right to work Intelligent capital also will fight side
by side with labor to conquer the great scourge of
unemployment.

Then and Now

One of the most effective modes of campaigning
for the Democrats this year will be to present COM
parable passages from Hoovers speeches in 1928 and
those which he gives in this campaign.
How effective this contrast may prove is well re-
vealed by the new leader" in holding up for public
view the tenor of his acceptance speech Aug. H.
1928, and that which he gave on Aug. IL, 1882. In
1928 he said
Commerce and industry have revived d. e. the
hours of labor have decreased the job of every
man has been made more secure the poorhouse
is vanishing from among there is no guarantee
against poverty equal to job for every man.
That is the primary purpose of the economic
policies we advocate 1 would use my Office and
influence to give the farmer the full benefit of our
historic tariff policy at one time we demanded
for our workers a full dinner pail" Now we have
gone far beyond that conception no one rightly
can deny the fundamental correctness of our economic
system"
In 1882 he set for the following complete
yersa of the tune he had played four years earlier:
The last three years have been years of greater
suffering and hardship than any which have come
to the American people since the aftermath of the
Civil war =. We have created vast agencies for en-
ployment . . . The farm board emergency loans to the
farmers co operatives served to stem the panics in
agricultural prices We must preserve the funda-
mental principles of our social and our economic
system.
1T is only upon individual responsibility that
crue the great sums of individual accomplishment
which carry this nation forward q. e. We have
acted many measures of emergency relief to agricul
ture. They are having effect Today millions of
fellow countrymen out of work Prices of the
farmers products are below living standard"
There is every prospect that the same deadly
contrasts will be offered to the Democrats for the
picking in any address which Mr.. Hoover can make

Death Traps

Contrary to general belief. those agencies of mas
known grade crossings are the increase in
the United States.
According 10 Milton w Harrison, head of the Rail-
way Security Owners Association, there were 1927
more of them in 1880 than in 1924 This in spite of
the fact that railroads themselves in those years
spent sl66O00O00 in grade crossing elimination.
On interstate steam railroads. only S61 crossings
were eliminated in 1881, compared with 4O3 in $780,

number of states have set about to make their
highways safer through grade separation programs.
New York under Governor AL Smith, bonded itself for
slo0O00Oo0 for this purpose and each year builds
twenty to thirty grade separations.
Pennsylvania and California have done splendid
work The Wisconsin program of Governor La Toilette
has been an object lesson in the sane economies of
this type Of public works

Views of Times Readers

Editor Times-I have read on
this page some articles written on
the cause, the why and wherefore
OF the present business depression.
The real cause of the depression
has been the exploitation of the
laboring class by the capitalist.
They who produce nothing receive
the lions share of the commodi-
ties produced by sweat and labor
Of the masses.
The only value any commodity
has is the value of the labor ex-
pended to produce it. To illustrate,
we will take the manufacture of
stove. All the material needed
to produce a stove or any commod-
ity is furnished by nature. In this
instance it is iron ore.
Iron ore has no value in the
ground, but when it is brought to
the surface of the earth it has
value. The value of it then is only
the value of the labor which was
expended IN mining IL.
Now the capitalist comes in. He
has paid a miner a wage, we will
say IS, the actual value of the ore.
When the capitalist sells this ore
he adds to it a surplus of, let us
say $3.50, that is, he sells the ore
for which the miner was paid S.
for $3.50.
The capitalist who buys this ore
will change it from iron ore to pig
iron. He probably will pay his
laborer SIS. The value of the iron
to him is only what he PAID for it
plus the labor expended in change
the ore to pig iron, that is $3.50
cost plus S. labor, or $3.50.
In turn, he vii add a surplus to
this, again let us say $3.50, when
he sells it to the manufacturer of
stoves. This manufacturer of stoves
or capitalist pays SIS for the iron.
In changing the commodity from
pig iron to stove, let Us again say
the laborer again is paid IS, but

Walker Case to Fore

A S might be expected, the Walker
IN case is coming in for lot of
discussion, though in a confused,
prejudiced way. The idea that
Smith and Walker have something
in common appears to have taken
quite a hold in and around Boston.
No doubt, this is because of the
imagined bread between Smith and
Roosevelt. New England evidently
needs some enlightenment as to the
more intimate details of New York
politics. A real Tammany leader
would get the shock Of his life by
taking to some of that institutions
admirers in this section. So would
Alfred Emanuel Smith.
1t seems to be taken for granted
that Smith was sacrificed to satisfy
the southern element, that Walker
was about to be sacrificed to help
the national ticket, and that none
other than John Nance Garner, I'M
der the guidance Of William Gibbs
McAdoo, was prize villain.
According to some of the asser-
lions I have heard, it was Garner
who caused TeXas'to go Republican
in 1923 and who now is being re-
warded for his services. It's GER
tainly astonishing what misinfor-
nation political bias can manufac-
ture.

the sentiment impelling Newton D. Baker and the

Bay State Doubtful

NEW ENGLAND is normally Re
~ publican, though Massachu-
sets, Rhode Island and Connecticut
occasionally jump the fence. Smith
carried Massachusetts four years
ago. 1t was the first time that state
had gone Democratic in a presiden-
tial election for many years.
The belief is quite general that
he could have carried it this year
Whether Roosevelt can carry it
even with Smiths active support, is
widely questioned.
The same condition prevails in
Rhode Island, though with even less
favorable Democratic prospects.
Most, if not all, the leaders are
apparently loyal, but in a discour-
aged, Misunderstanding sort of way, one
constantly is running into side re-
marks about Bryan and 90, about
Roosevelt's poor health and the
possibility Of Garner becoming
President, about Walker and what
Tammany is going to do.

CTRANGE to relate, Maine stands
- out as a possible exception to
the prevailing attitude. There are
those who think Maine will go
Democratic, regardless of Smith, or

At the same time, it is obvious
that prospects of repeating the
eighteenth amendment have in
trigued Maine people. just why, is
something of mystery,
Whether they are prepared to
abandon prohibition all the way

of the competition in bootlegging,

They are making enough noise in
favor of the Democratic repeal

There is no evidence of an or

conversation as to what other folks

About the only thing one can be
sure of is that Smith has a tremen-

that his silence is having a marked

be all right, but so far as is known
from the scientific point of view,
there is no special reason for re-
moving all the clothing to be

Indeed, experts in treatment by
ultraviolet feel that it is not wise
to expose all the body at one time
in the majority of cases, preferring
rather to use certain areas of the
skin from time to time and grad
ually working up to exposure of
most of the body.
Effects of the ultraviolet are not
only on the skin, but obviously on
what the blood takes from the skin.
Furthermore, simple tanning of the
body is not an especially healthful
performance.
If the human body happens to

have a weak heart or an infectious
disease, tanning is not necessarily
going to reach either of these dis
turbances.
Medical opinion never has doubted
the value of outdoor living and of
sunlight.
However, it is not necessary, if
one wishes to obtain the best effects
Of either outdoor life or sunlight to
expose all the body; neither is it
necessary, from the medical point
of view, that men, women and chill

In fact, the less crowded the sur

is one of the chief benefits of out
door holidays.

GREAT GERMAN RETREAT
September 6.

ON Sept. 6, 1918, the German
~ forces on the western front
began a retreat on a front Of more
than ninety miles, with allied forces
in constant pursuit.
The retirement all along the line
was carried out under heavy ar
tillery fire, and the GOODNESS and
precision Of the movement was re
markable under the circumstances.
French soldiers occupied Ham and
Chauny and advanced to total
depth of more than six miles east
of the Canal du Nord
British forces advanced as much
as seven miles on twelve-mile
front and Americans, more stub
bornly opposed, gained five miles.
The American troop transport Mt.
Vernon was torpedoed of the
French coast. but was able to make
port under her own steam.
Thirty-five members of the crew
were killed.
